章節 24: A Trip to the Set
編輯: Henyee Translations
Chen Sheng had just received a notice from his assistant that Yuan Shu had arrived, so he jogged over in shock.
Was this rich lady that down-to-earth? She came over right after the call. Was she really concerned about Shi Lu?
Chen Sheng was short and chubby. When Yuan Shu saw a plump figure rushing over from afar, she secretly took a small step back.
"Madam?" Chen Sheng carefully sized up the person in front of him to confirm.
"Yes, it's me." Yuan Shu nodded. Sensing that many people were already sizing her up, she couldn't help but say, "Director Chen, can we talk in private?"
Chen Sheng wasn't tall, but his voice was loud. He had clearly lowered his voice, but the surrounding people still heard him clearly. With Yuan Shu's reminder, he realized that many people were sizing them up.
"Yes, yes, yes. I forgot. Madam, please come in."
After Yuan Shu and Director Chen walked away, the surrounding people started discussing.
"So she's the wife of the Shi family. She has such an imposing aura."
"She's also beautiful and elegant."
"She looks like one of those rich ladies in period dramas."
"No wonder Mr. Shi married her but not Sister Chu. They are not on the same level."
...
When Chu Mei returned to the set with all kinds of gifts, she heard their discussion and knew that Yuan Shu was there.
Why was she here? What was she doing here? Could it be that she saw her press release in the morning, so she came looking for trouble with her?
Moreover, the moment Yuan Shu arrived, the production team compared Yuan Shu to herself. They even compared who was more beautiful and elegant. The most infuriating thing was that she was completely inferior to Yuan Shu. This was really unacceptable to the vain Chu Mei.
When the director's assistant, Xiao Yu, noticed Chu Mei's arrival, she hurriedly gestured for the chatting staff to lower their voices so that they wouldn't offend her. Then, with a smile, she went to take what Chu Mei was holding.
"Sister Chu is back. Go to the dressing room to rest and get your styling done. Director Chen has something on for the rest of the day."
Chu Mei felt a little better and handed the thing to her as she said, "I know that Director Chen likes to drink tea. This is the ancient tree Pu'er that I specifically got someone to find. Take it as an apology for leaving the team without permission. Call a few more people. There are still a few small gifts in the trunk for everyone. Please don't blame me for delaying the filming progress."
Xiao Yu called a few stage supervisors to help carry the things.
Chu Mei leaned over and asked softly, "What is Yuan Shu doing here?"
Xiao Yu couldn't afford to offend either side. She could only say vaguely, "I heard from the director that she's looking for Brother Lu for something. Coincidentally, Brother Lu has not been around for the past half a day, so the director went to see Yuan Shu."
Why would Yuan Shu look for Shen Lu? Logically speaking, the two of them should not be familiar with each other. Could it be…
Chu Mei thought of the rumors that Yuan Shu loved to keep handsome men before she got married. Then, she thought of Shen Lu's extraordinary looks and various outstanding resources and had a bold guess.
At this moment, Yuan Shu and the director finally saw the surveillance footage right before Shi Lu disappeared.
"This is the surveillance camera at the intersection of our production team. Second Young Master drove over from this place himself. After all our stage supervisors checked the equipment, they realized that he left by himself after filming the night scene. He didn't even tell his assistant." Director Chen observed Yuan Shu's expression as he explained carefully.
"This has happened before, but Second Young Master would come back the next day every time. Although he's playful, he's very responsible. It's just that he didn't have any scenes on the second day after he left the production team, so no one cared if he didn't come back. However, he has a scene this morning, but he hasn't returned yet. We've been looking for him since six in the morning, but we haven't found him yet, so we want to ask you for help."
The more Director Chen thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Shi Lu was usually very reliable. Although he was the second young master of the Shi family and had a bad temper, he was still very serious about filming.
Originally, Shi Lu didn't want to accept this role, but Chen Sheng told him that this was a patriotic drama that was very faithful to the tragic story behind it. Only then did Shi Lu agree.
"If I hadn't insisted on Second Young Master filming, if I had been more careful and realized that he didn't even bring his bodyguard and assistant that night, he might not have become lost." The more Chen Sheng thought about it, the sadder he became. He blamed himself so much that he even shed tears.
"Alright, it's not your fault. Why are you crying? The most important thing now is to find Shi Lu," Yuan Shu said coldly when she saw Director Chen crying.
"Call his manager over." Yuan Shu stared at the computer screen as she pondered over the direction where Shi Lu had last gone.
