The happiest person was Director Liu. Although he had a few scratches on his face, the investment issues were resolved! Sixth Master had even promised that he could shoot however he wanted, and he didn't need to worry about money.
What was this? This was trust, an acknowledgment of his capabilities!
The assistant director whispered, "Director Liu, don't you find this Sixth Master a bit familiar?"
"Ah? Familiar? He doesn't look familiar, all heroes look like this!"
"Really?"
The assistant director didn't think much of it and organized people to clean up the set.
Xiao Yi and Xia Weiliang escorted Sixth Master out. As Sixth Master turned back, he said, "My birthday is next month, and I've already taken leave from your director. You absolutely must come."
"Then I definitely have to go!" Xia Weiliang waved the golden plaque. "I'll wear this to your party!"
"Haha... Good, I'll be waiting for you."
Sixth Master got into the car. As he drove away, he looked at Xia Weiliang, his gaze full of affection.
It wasn't until his motorcade left that Xia Weiliang remembered a question: "I didn't ask where Grandpa's house is?" Su Dan Novel Network
Xiao Yi chuckled, "I'll pick you up then."
"You know?"
She had a feeling that Xiao Yi knew something.
He simply nodded, then patted her shoulder, "You go in first. I still have a few minor issues to deal with."
"Oh."
Xia Weiliang hurried inside to check on her friends.
Xiao Yi walked up to Chairman Ma and squatted down, smiling slightly at him. "Now, let's settle the accounts."
Around noon, the local police station saw hooligans lining up to surrender for the first time!
Leading them was Chairman Ma, who walked with his head hung low and needed to be supported. The police wanted him to get his injuries examined, but he adamantly refused, insisting he had fallen on the way. In short, he just wanted to be locked up quickly and not allowed out of that door!
Initially, they thought it was a prank or that he had been threatened by someone else. However, after investigating based on his confession, they found that almost everything he said was true!
Soon, the news of Chairman Ma's detention swept through their circle.
Some were shocked, while others were gloating.
"Heh, it was bound to happen. Didn't he even look at who he was provoking by messing with Director Liu's drama? Doesn't he know who's involved?"
"Back then, I also gave him some advice. I told him that there's a female actress in this drama who has powerful backing, someone he might not be able to afford to offend. He didn't believe it, and now look at him, he's turned himself in!"
"He brought it upon himself, always too arrogant! Even without that person, he would have been dealt with by others later! So, I'm not surprised at all that he's gone in."
This matter was confined to their peer group. For the film crew and actors, nothing was more important than continuing to film with peace of mind.
After Chairman Ma's incident, Lin Youyou's gaze towards Xia Weiliang gradually changed. Although her words were still sharp and she often provoked Xia Weiliang, when no one was paying attention, she would often stare at her with a thoughtful and scrutinizing look, making Xia Weiliang feel uneasy.
"Has she contacted some research institute and wants to send me away?" she whispered to Nuomi.
"I've noticed too, Lin Youyou keeps stealing glances at Sister Weiliang!"
"Never mind, let her look. After all, with Sister's looks, it's enough for her to research."
Xia Weiliang was carefree. As long as Lin Youyou didn't actively provoke her, she usually wouldn't dwell on it too much.
The filming progressed rapidly. With substantial funding, Director Liu was in his element, working with full vigor!
Everything he had wanted to do before but couldn't, he now arranged them all!
Soon, it was Sixth Master's birthday.
Xiao Yi had already made arrangements and appeared early to pick her up from the set, bringing along the formal gown and all other necessary preparations.
Upon seeing the gown, Xia Weiliang couldn't help but ask, "Does it need to be this extravagant?" She reached out to touch it, her voice changing as she asked, "Are these real diamonds?"
"Mm, just some small diamonds, not worth much."
"..."
She finally realized the gap between herself and the film emperor, not just in acting, but also in wealth.
