    Chapter 17

    Jiang Yifeng decided to take a gamble.

    Xu Chen wouldn’t stand up for him–Jiang Yifeng knew that even if he wasn’t clear about all the complexities of the entertainment industry, Xu Chen wouldn’t clash with Zhao Panyang for his sake.

    But Xu Chen cared about his film.

    Jiang Yifeng walked to Xu Chen’s side, squatted down, and used the breaks in filming to discuss the roles of the small villain and Zhao Panyang in the script with Xu Chen.

    “He won’t respond, he’ll only want to kill him.” Jiang Yifeng pointed to several places in the script and said slowly, “Since he was little…someone like him couldn’t be close to Zhao Li.”

    Although the description of the character Jiang Yifeng was playing in the script was subtle, the copy Jiang Yifeng received had detailed annotations and supplements.

    This villain was a boy who had been raised and abused as a child. After being rescued, his personality became completely cunning and suspicious. Moreover, his adoptive father was not a good person, and secret talks of assassination and bribery at home were common.

    The little villain was originally cultivated to be an assassin, but after getting drunk, he accidentally had a relationship with his adoptive father. Afterwards, perhaps out of guilt, his adoptive father stopped letting him handle such dangerous things and began to cultivate him in the direction of a normal person. However, the twisted little villain could never return to the right path and began to wantonly slaughter his adoptive father’s colleagues using the convenience of his identity.

    How could such a twisted and perverted character feel good about the person who asked him to call him “woman”?

    Xu Chen had also considered this.

    He specially called the screenwriter to the side, and the three of them lowered their heads and discussed carefully. Jiang Yifeng seriously put forward his understanding and views.

    Zhao Panyang originally wanted to go forward, but when he thought of how unpleasant Jiang Yifeng’s words were, he was, after all, a rich young master. Being scolded so harshly immediately made him angry, so he simply sat aside indignantly.

    “I’ll see if you can persuade them.” Zhao Panyang sneered in his heart.

    Xu Chen chatted with Jiang Yifeng for a long time, and even after filming other people’s scenes in the afternoon, he specially called several actors and screenwriters to the hotel room.

    He didn’t care about the messy things in the entertainment industry, but he especially cared about his film.

    They discussed the details of the entire script in detail, going through everything. The screenwriter also burst out with endless inspiration.

    Fortunately, they hadn’t started filming for many days, otherwise, if they noticed the problem after filming most of it, many scenes would have to be redone.

    “Little Jiang, really good.” Xu Chen couldn’t help but praise: “You are a natural actor.”

    “I just thought about it more.” Jiang Yifeng smiled shyly, appearing particularly humble.

    Xu Chen shook his head, then reached out and put his hand on Jiang Yifeng’s shoulder: “With your talent, you will definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future.”

    Jiang Yifeng thought, “Overthinking it.”

    If he had a place in the entertainment industry, he wouldn’t have been so miserable for five years.

    He said goodbye to everyone and returned to his room. As soon as he closed the door, the white frame popped up in the air.

    Xie Jingshen was wearing a bathrobe, his phone placed on his lap, silently scrutinizing Jiang Yifeng’s current state.

    Jiang Yifeng’s heart skipped a beat.

    He was about to be happy, but he remembered the grievances he had suffered these past few days. Xie Jingshen was enjoying himself somewhere, while he was the only one being pestered by a pervert.

    Jiang Yifeng’s face fell. Although he shouldn’t be angry with others, perhaps he was really wronged. Jiang Yifeng couldn’t even fake a good expression. He pursed his lips, his eyebrows drooping slightly: “Xie Jingshen, are you done being busy?”

    “…” Xie Jingshen didn’t speak, just looked at Jiang Yifeng, his brows furrowed, as if there was something very difficult to say.

    Jiang Yifeng was sullen, and after a long time, he opened his mouth: “If you’re busy, I’ll go to sleep first.”

    He hadn’t even removed the makeup from his face, so he randomly threw off his shoes and jacket and went to bed.

    Several faint cyan finger marks still remained on his fingers as he sat up in bed, trying to pull off his socks, but he bent over several times without getting them off.

    He was so angry that his cheeks puffed up.

    For a moment, he only felt more wronged.

    “Don’t you want to see me?” Xie Jingshen suddenly opened his mouth.

    Heaven knows how it felt to have just experienced Jiang Yifeng’s tantrum the day before, refusing to see him, only to see Jiang Yifeng intimately with a man with unkind eyes the next day.

    Xie Jingshen even spent several days torturing himself by watching what they were doing at work.

    Every time, Jiang Yifeng and the other man looked very close.

    That night, Xie Jingshen asked Lu Sen, who calmly said: “To stimulate spending, the game will definitely find you a few rivals. Games targeted towards women will also give the girls a few rivals.”

    “You can solve it after you recharge or play through those two scenes with the green light.”

    Xie Jingshen was full of question marks.

    He really didn’t understand why he, as a president, had to wait for two scenes of being cuckolded before reconciling?

    Xie Jingshen was extremely awkward. When he saw small problems during the meeting, he became even more eloquent, making all the assistants and subordinate managers afraid to provoke him.

    The more Xie Jingshen thought about it, the angrier he became. When he lowered his eyes again, his tone seemed stiff: “If you don’t want to see me, I’ll hang up.”

    His finger was already pressing on the screen, but the next second, Xie Jingshen saw Jiang Yifeng raise his head, his eyes misty, the corners of his eyes red, but his expression was very stubborn.

    “Goodbye.”

    Jiang Yifeng waved his hand.

    The next second, the white frame disappeared.

    Jiang Yifeng finally unloaded his strength, randomly kicked his shoes aside, and then threw himself into the covers, burying his head hard in the quilt.

    Jiang Yifeng felt very wronged.

    So wronged that tears fell down, he randomly rubbed his cheeks, calmed down for a long time before trying to get up to wash his face.

    Just as he sat up and turned his head, he saw a white frame floating behind him.

    Xie Jingshen’s eyes flashed with helplessness as he zoomed in on his phone screen and asked: “What’s wrong? Don’t cry…”

    “Not crying.” Jiang Yifeng calmed down.

    “I saw you and someone else… that Zhao Panyang, were very close, I’m not happy.” Xie Jingshen rarely expressed his feelings to Jiang Yifeng so directly. He squeezed his phone tightly nervously, his eyebrows furrowed: “Don’t use this kind of thing to provoke me.”

    Even if it was a game, he didn’t like it.

    As for the reason… Xie Jingshen felt that it might be because he didn’t like others touching his things. He was a very controlling person, so it was only natural that he didn’t like it.

    Xie Jingshen figured it out, and when he realized that he was just facing a game, he gradually relaxed and said seriously: “Since you are my paper lover, you should, um, not make me jealous.”

    “How can I make you jealous from such a–distant distance?” Jiang Yifeng couldn’t even get angry now, he laughed as soon as he opened his mouth: “You’re being unreasonable.”

    “…” Xie Jingshen felt his face heat up, so to hide it, he furrowed his brows deeply, pretending to be unapproachable.

    But in Jiang Yifeng’s eyes, Xie Jingshen’s cheeks were clearly red. Under the high-definition camera, he could even see the steam rising from his face little by little.

    It seemed he really misunderstood.

    Jiang Yifeng thought silently in his heart.

    –Xie Jingshen’s blushing face looks a little cute.

    “I didn’t make you jealous.” Jiang Yifeng’s voice trailed off, perhaps because he had just cried, his nasal voice was still very obvious, “That person was harassing me…”

    Xie Jingshen suddenly zoomed in on the lens: “What?”

    “I said, he harassed me.” Jiang Yifeng looked into Xie Jingshen’s eyes again: “But I refused.”

    Xie Jingshen felt his hands itching.

    His fingers forcefully poked the screen, but no options popped up.

    It was as if Jiang Yifeng was being harassed, and he was just an outsider.

    –What kind of dog game is this?

    Perhaps Xie Jingshen’s complaints stimulated the game system. When his finger pressed on the screen again, an option popped up.

    [A paparazzi has a piece of black material about Zhao Panyang. You can obtain plot fragments through card draws, and you can obtain different plots by synthesizing the fragments. Ending 1: Imprisonment, Ending 2: Nothing Happens, Ending 3: Quit Filming.]

    [50 yuan per draw.]

    Xie Jingshen was very dissatisfied with the amount for a gacha game — there wasn’t even an option for a hundred draws, only one click at a time.

    Xie Jingshen looked at Jiang Yifeng in the lens: “I seem to have a way to make Zhao Panyang unlucky now.”

    Jiang Yifeng: “?”

    Jiang Yifeng: “What?”

    He originally thought that Xie Jingshen over there could only symbolically send takeout or talk to him to relieve boredom.

    But Xie Jingshen seems…

    “Do you want him to quit filming, or do you want him to go to jail?” Xie Jingshen asked.

    Jiang Yifeng was stunned.

    He didn’t expect it to be these two options at all.

    “What did he do?” It was enough to send him to jail? Jiang Yifeng widened his eyes in disbelief.

    “I only know that the paparazzi has a piece of his black material.” Xie Jingshen’s finger easily clicked the card draw button.

    The degree of black material for each option was different, and the fragments obtained from the card draw might be repeated. Ten repeated plot fragments could be exchanged for a new fragment.

    Xie Jingshen wasn’t very familiar with the operation of the game, but he just found clicking it over and over again more annoying.

    However, because he gave enough money, although the number of clicks was high, he still pieced together the fragments.

    “…” Xie Jingshen pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, carefully read the content of the “Imprisonment” plot fragments, and then seriously said to Jiang Yifeng: “Choose the imprisonment option.”

    “Huh?”

    “What he did was too much.” The more Xie Jingshen thought about it, the more afraid he became. Looking at Zhao Panyang’s actions, and then looking at Jiang Yifeng’s slightly widened, blank face, Xie Jingshen silently exchanged all the other fragments for “Imprisonment” plot fragments.

    After the fragments were complete, Xie Jingshen pressed “Synthesize,” and Jiang Yifeng also heard the system’s explanation of the “Imprisonment” plot in his ear.

    “Raped a young boy who had just entered the company, and used drugs to control and force a lover relationship.”

    The narration of several cases made Jiang Yifeng feel cold all over. When he looked up, he saw that Xie Jingshen’s face had also completely cooled down.

    However, when he turned to look at Jiang Yifeng, his expression softened: “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”

    The author has something to say:

    President Xie: Isn’t 50 yuan a draw about the same as free?

    President Xie: Trash system, why isn’t there a direct continuous draw button?
