Chapter 304: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 48
"Hate Wen Yang? Why do you ask that?" Ji Xingyan asked in confusion.
Xue Shuran stammered, "I spoke with Liang Runcheng yesterday. He said that you had sent him to approach Wen Yang, but later you thought he wasn't good enough and planned to go yourself... Then I saw you offered to take Wen Yang home yesterday... So I wondered if you hadn't given up on your previous plan..."
Ji Xingyan: “…”
If Wu Yu had made any sound, the roof of the villa would probably have been blown off at this moment.
A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Ji Xingyan's usually cold face. He coughed twice and said, "You're overthinking it. I gave up on that plan a long time ago. I said I'd send her home yesterday because she was your friend. Didn't you say she took good care of you on the set?"
Hearing Ji Xingyan's words, Xue Shuran immediately let out a long sigh, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier! I was really scared to death yesterday! Damn it, it's all Liang Runcheng's fault for talking nonsense, making me worry for so long in vain!"
Ji Xingyan raised his eyebrows, "What else did Liang Runcheng say to you?"
"Ah, he said before that he really admires Wen Yang now..." Then Xue Shuran suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, right, today we filmed a close-up shot of Wen Yang and Liang Runcheng in bed. I think he must really like Wen Yang. I've never seen him blush so much around a female celebrity... Because when we were filming that scene today, his face was blushing uncontrollably, and we couldn't capture the look Director Zheng wanted, so Director Zheng said that scene has to be re-shot tomorrow."
Ji Xingyan frowned subconsciously and asked, "What plot?"
Xue Shuran touched her cheeks embarrassedly, blushing softly, "Brother, I feel a little bit indescribable. When the movie is finished and released, you can go and watch it directly. Hey, they are all women, but Wen Yang can seduce people with just one look. When I was watching from the side, I hated myself for not being a man..."
Xue Shuran's words immediately made Ji Xingyan's mind uncontrollably emerge with an erotic scene. It was as if through Xue Shuran's description he could already see the slightly upturned fox-like eyes in his impression staring at him, and the affection in the eyes was like a rippling hook, which could hook his soul out with just one glance.
Fortunately, he interrupted his imagination in time and used his strong willpower to bring himself back to his senses.
To hide his embarrassment, he changed the subject and asked, "Tell me about yourself. How's your filming progress lately?"
Hearing Ji Xingyan's concern for her filming progress, Xue Shuran sighed silently, "Well, it's okay. Most of the time it goes smoothly. It's just that my co-star, Lu Lianchuan, is always distracted, so sometimes Director Zheng asks me to start over."
"Why are you distracted? Does he look down on you?" Ji Xingyan's tone suddenly turned cold.
Xue Shuran shook her head and said with a smile, "That shouldn't be the case. I think his distraction has something to do with Wen Yang. Didn't they act in a TV series together before? I think Lu Lianchuan seems to have a good impression of Wen Yang as well."
"Why do you think so?" Ji Xingyan's eyes unconsciously became gloomy.
"During a break in the filming, I heard him talking to Wen Yang. He said he knew her contract with the agency was about to expire, and asked if she wanted to go to his agency. He said he could introduce his agent to her..."
After hearing this, Ji Xingyan's eyes became even more gloomy.
Listening to Xue Shuran's description, he was almost certain that Lu Lianchuan was also interested in Wen Yang.
I didn’t expect that Liang Runcheng had not been resolved yet, and now Lu Lianchuan has come.
"What did Wen Yang say later?" Ji Xingyan asked.
Xue Shuran's eyes curved as she replied, "Wen Yang refused on the spot. Later, when I asked her why, she said she hated snobbish people like Lu Lianchuan. She would feel uncomfortable working in the same company with him."
When Ji Xingyan heard Xue Shuran say that Wen Yang hated Lu Lianchuan, his originally gloomy eyes suddenly showed a little imperceptible ripple, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but want to rise.
However, his eyes soon returned to calmness, because he suddenly remembered that Wen Yang seemed to hate people like him who were stubborn and self-righteous...
But thinking of the words of comfort that Special Assistant Xu said to him at the company today, Ji Xingyan regained a little confidence.
So he asked Xue Shuran, "What time does your crew start filming tomorrow?"
Xue Shuran was a little surprised when she heard Ji Xingyan's question, and asked back, "My scenes are scheduled to start filming tomorrow afternoon, and I will be there to do my makeup and styling at 10 a.m. But why are you asking this, brother?"
Ji Xingyan's expression remained unchanged as he casually replied, "I've been pretty busy with things at the company lately. I'm free tomorrow so I can go to the crew to check on you. I'm an investor in this movie anyway, so no one will notice our relationship if I go."
Xue Shuran was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's great!" She then excitedly suggested, "How about tomorrow after the shoot, I'll invite Wen Yang over and we can have dinner together. I can also introduce you to her as my brother."
"Well, sure." Ji Xingyan replied indifferently.
Hearing Ji Xingyan's agreement, Xue Shuran's eyes suddenly curved into crescents, "It's a deal then, brother. I'll call you in advance when the filming is almost over tomorrow. I'll go back to my room to wash up and rest today."
Ji Xingyan smiled gently and replied, "Okay."
After Xue Shuran returned to her room, Ji Xingyan also returned to the room. After closing the door, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Special Assistant Xu.
Special Assistant Xu originally thought that Ji Xingyan called him so late at night because he had some work matters to discuss, but he didn't expect Ji Xingyan to say that he would not come to the company in the next few days.
Special Assistant Xu still remembers that even when President Ji had a high fever, he still came to the company wearing a mask and a cooling patch, and no matter how he was persuaded, he would not go back. Since taking over the Ji Group, he has been working regardless of weather conditions, and has never missed a day of work. He is more dedicated than most employees.
So when Mr. Ji suddenly asked for leave, Special Assistant Xu was immediately frightened and asked quickly, "Mr. Ji, has something happened to you? Do you need help?"
Ji Xingyan could hear Special Assistant Xu's nervousness. He chuckled and said, "It's okay, don't worry. Didn't I tell you that my sister and I have had some misunderstandings recently? I plan to take a few days off and visit the crew."
With Ji Xingyan's explanation, the heavy burden on Special Assistant Xu's heart finally fell. "I'm glad you're okay, Mr. Ji. I thought something had happened to you just now."
Ji Xingyan knew that Special Assistant Xu was concerned about him, and the corners of his lips curved up as he continued, "So I'm sorry to bother you with the work these few days. If you have any questions, please call me immediately."
"Okay, no problem, don't worry, Mr. Ji." Special Assistant Xu replied.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingyan walked to the table in the room and sat down. The imaginary scene that he had just suppressed inadvertently appeared in his mind again.
He had also read the script of that movie.
He knew that Wen Yang, as the second female lead, would have intimate scenes with the second male lead, but at that time he had no idea that there would be a day when he would develop feelings for Wen Yang.
He clearly once thought that this scene in the movie was a perfect opportunity for Liang Runcheng to seduce Wen Yang.
Unexpectedly... not long after, his mentality completely reversed...
Thinking of Wen Yang's close encounter with Liang Runcheng, a venomous snake called jealousy coiled fiercely around his heart, and his heart felt as if it were being gnawed by thousands of ants... bitter and annoyed...
