Seeing Xu Youguang clearly suppress his anger, the guilty Tang Lingli and Director Liu didn’t dare say more. At this moment, Xu Youguang finally turned his stern gaze towards Chen He.
"Chen He, quickly apologize to Lingli and Director Liu. I can temporarily not pursue this matter."
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing this, with a hint of regret in their eyes.
It seemed Xu Youguang wanted to handle it lightly and settle things quickly. But it was understandable; Chen He’s sudden outburst had already put Xu Youguang in hot water, and he certainly didn’t want events to escalate further.
Although... he might have been cheated on.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Chen He did not appreciate the gesture offered by Xu Youguang.
"Director Xu, I don’t understand what you are saying. If someone needs to apologize, it should be Tang Lingli apologizing to me and Teacher Shen. Moreover, I am speaking the truth, without a hint of fabrication..."
"Chen He!"
Xu Youguang finally dropped his pretense, angrily interrupting him, "Do you think just because you’re an actor recommended by the investors, you can disregard me, the director, and do as you please in the crew?!"
"Director Xu, this has nothing to do with who recommended me as an actor. Justice lies in the hearts of people."
Chen He’s face remained unchanged, only resolutely saying, "I still stand by my view, the fault is not mine, nor is it Teacher Shen’s..."
"Alright, alright, alright!"
Xu Youguang was so angry that he laughed, pointing several times at Chen He, and said angrily,
"Chen He, if you can still stay here after today, you can take over as director!"
At this time, Xu Youguang’s assistant hurried over, handing the phone to Xu Youguang, "Director Xu, it’s Mr. Ma on the phone..."
"Hello, Mr. Ma, yes... alright, alright, I’ll be there to pick you up... Ah? Okay, understood!"
After hanging up the call with a smile, Xu Youguang’s expression darkened again, and he swept off without glancing at Chen He.
Everyone knew Xu Youguang was truly angry this time, so they remained silent and cautiously cast a glance at Chen He before quietly distancing themselves from him.
This guy is truly reckless...
Once the corridor was clear of others, Shen Yutong, standing in a daze for a while, held her sister’s hand and looked at Chen He with uncertainty.
"Um, you..."
"Hello, Teacher Shen, I’m Chen He. Sorry, it’s been so many days and I haven’t formally greeted you. That’s my fault, my fault, Teacher Shen, please don’t take it to heart..."
Chen He turned his head, suddenly wearing a bright smile. He seemed to want to shake hands with Shen Yutong. But halfway through reaching out, he retracted it, as if remembering something.
Shen Yutong was somewhat stupefied. The current sycophantic Chen He was too much of a contrast with the steadfast Chen He from earlier, leaving her momentarily unsure of what to say.
But either way, he did help her. It might even be said that because of Chen He, even though the whole matter originated from her, it now seemed almost unrelated to her...
Thinking this, Shen Yutong felt a growing guilt.
"I’m sorry, Teacher Chen, I, I seem to have dragged you into this..."
"Don’t call me Teacher Chen, just call me Little Chen!"
Chen He quickly waved his hand, "Dragged? Not at all. I’m just warm-hearted, can’t stand these things, really, Teacher Shen, don’t have any psychological burden, okay!"
Shen Yutong gritted her teeth, "Well, Teacher Chen, you wait for me to make a call... but I don’t know if it will work, I can only say I’ll try."
Finally hearing what he hoped for, Chen He breathed a sigh of relief, his anxious heart settling back into place.
After all, he was truly scared too; if Shen Yutong suddenly decided to deny him now, all he did would have been for naught.
Though Chen He wasn’t too worried, since even though the interaction with that man was limited, Chen He could sense that the other party was likely good at keeping promises...
"Attributable to the unexplainably dignified manners brought on by wealth."
However, judging from Shen Yutong’s tone, she seemed a bit unsure about whether Zhou Wang could calm things down, or maybe they weren’t that kind of relationship after all?
Chen He pondered to himself.
Couldn’t be...
But whatever the case, now there was no turning back. Chen He could only rely on his judgment being correct.
...
Zhou Wang was in the crucial round of a card game when he received a call from Shen Yutong.
In the seven-seater Costa Mona Lisa commercial vehicle, Zhou Wang sat alone on one side. On the other side of the table were Yun Rou and Yun Lan, sisters who were visibly nervous with a hint of shyness.
The sisters sat in unison, tightly clamping their smooth long legs and curling up in their seats.
The reason was simple; at that moment, they were wearing only a silk crew-neck top.
On the seat beside them, you could see the stockings, bras, bow ties, and small underwear they had taken off.
The perfectly fitting small tops barely covered their youthful bodies. But with their curves subtly revealed, there was always a glimpse of beauty slipping by unnoticed, or at times, as they unconsciously straightened their backs to check the cards, more pronounced. These distractions made it hard for Zhou Wang to concentrate on the game.
Yes, fortunately, this was the last round.
As long as he won this round, Zhou Wang could let them return to innocence... back to a carefree state.
This had nothing to do with lust, it was purely a matter of masculine achievement and the desire for victory.
Just as Zhou Wang was thinking through how to use his worthless hand of cards while employing bluffing psychological tactics to secure the win, a call from Shen Yutong came through.
Zhou Wang was slightly surprised; he hadn’t told Shen Yutong about his visit to White City today, intending to surprise her. Had she found out already?
