Chapter 272 The Little Lion's Sky Has Collapsed

cough cough...

In the office, the boss went out, saying he needed to see Zeng Li to help her find a job.

Bai Bing stayed there and took on the work of an assistant, cleaning, organizing documents, tidying up the tea table, etc.

She remembers that on her first day at the company, the boss was not happy because she was organizing files.

Habits are terrible, especially habits formed day by day.

Now they ask her to organize files all the time. Once, when Zhang Jiao helped organize files, the boss was very unhappy.

The assistant, who was wiping the table, couldn't contain her curiosity as QQ kept ringing on the computer.

"I'll just take a look, just one look. At worst, I'll get a beating," the assistant muttered, turning on the flashing icon.

The person whose QQ nickname is "A Good Person" sends the most messages.

A kind person: Brother, thank you for being so accommodating.

A good person: Say something!
A good person: Hahahaha, you idiot, you got first place for ten consecutive times? Aren't you afraid of hurting your back?

A good person: having fast hands means getting a bargain.

A good person: You can't be a sore loser, can you? Fine, you win the tenth round. I'm a gambler, but let me know in advance when you're going to evening self-study. I know a really secluded place that can satisfy your perverse tastes.

A good person: You bastard, where the hell have you been?

A good person: You promised to play with me for two hours, so I let you play for two hours. You stood me up! You just wait, I'm not playing with you anymore.

A good person: You bitch, you really made me wait! Fine, you've got guts...

……

"The boss is really despicable, not many people dare to curse him out loud. Could this be Yang Mi?" Bai Bing was excited, and she felt genuinely happy watching this netizen curse the boss.

She already felt a bit of affection for him even though it wasn't confirmed who he was.

I don't know when I became able to so casually curse at my boss.

She scrolled up the chat history, marveling at how bold the person was. She didn't know if it was Yang Mi, but she was certainly daring to say anything.

She thought about herself and realized that her private conversations with her boss were even more explosive than the content of their chats.

"We're all in the same boat, so let's not laugh at each other," Bai Bing muttered.

dang dang...

The assistant jumped, grabbed a towel, and pretended to wipe the computer screen. "Come in..."

"Xiao Dong, where's Liu Jing?" Zeng Li pushed open the door and came in, looking very surprised.

"Didn't he just go looking for you?" Bai Bing breathed a sigh of relief; she had overreacted earlier.

If it were the boss, he definitely wouldn't knock. He couldn't help it; he felt guilty.

"He contacted me and told me to get ready to audition for a film in a few days." Zeng Li tossed her hair and sighed. "I was busy preparing for class when I turned around and, well, he was gone."

These two siblings are really...

She learned her lesson; on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she drove from Jiangcheng to Jingzhou to deliver a script.

Am I touched? I am a little touched, after all, the young master favors me so much.

How could she be moved? Not at all. She hadn't received any scripts. She didn't dare ask, and neither she nor her siblings mentioned it. And that was the end of it.

Completely bewildered, Da Qingyi felt like she was just a decoration.

He did it again today, leaving behind a single sentence and then walking away.

What production crew? What movie? When? Where? What are the preparations? You should at least tell me these basic things.

"If this guy were an agent, he would be the most unqualified agent ever," Da Qingyi secretly concluded.

"Sister Zeng Li, please have some tea and let me tell you slowly." Bai Bing smiled. The boss treating you like this shows that he doesn't consider you an outsider. It seems that I need to change my attitude towards this sister in the future.

She has a hero list in her mind, ranking everyone in the company according to their importance, thus differentiating each person into different levels.

The higher the level, the greater the importance.

The boss is at the 3S level, while General Manager Min, General Manager Wen, and Sister Li are at the 2S level. Gao Yuanyuan and some senior managers are at the S level, and everyone else is below the A level.

Zeng Li was previously classified as Grade B, but she felt it was necessary to upgrade her to Grade A.

"Thank you." Zeng Li accepted the tea and sat down elegantly on the sofa.

Bai Bing felt a sense of incongruity; the photos her boss showed her were truly shocking.

Wearing a big floral cotton-padded jacket and trousers, big cotton shoes and a big porcelain bowl, squatting on the ground slurping noodles.

The village girl went to the city and transformed into a fashionable woman.

"Ahem, the Ningxia government wants to develop its cultural industry and has its sights set on the film sector. Lacking suitable material locally, they chose 'Painted Skin' from 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio' for adaptation, hoping to bring this story to the screen. In the past two years, mainland-Hong Kong co-productions have enjoyed the same treatment as domestic films, and the Ningxia Film Studio approached director Chen Jiashang for a collaboration." Bai Bing wanted to start from the beginning, but Zeng Li didn't want to listen anymore.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li interrupted directly, "I know about this movie, and a friend suggested I give it a try. I haven't even gone yet, and the production team has already rejected me. They said I played Mei San Niang in 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio,' and they're worried that the audience might get confused."

She still felt a little annoyed thinking about it. Even if she was very easygoing, being rejected like that left a bad taste in her mouth.

There's no way around it; this is a film primarily produced by Ningxia Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio, so they have that kind of confidence.

“The results will naturally be different whether the boss sends you or you go on your own.” Bai Bing smiled slightly. As a key agent being groomed, she had more information than Da Qingyi.

"We have investments?" Zeng Li understood immediately.

“Yes! After we acquired Golden Harvest, the Ningxia studio contacted the film investment department. They weren't very optimistic about the project at first, but our boss insisted on investing. The Ningxia studio holds a 35% stake, the Shanghai Film Studio holds a 25% stake, and Golden Harvest and Taiji Films, directed by Chen Jiashang, each hold 20%. The film has a budget of over 50 million yuan and was listed as a key support project in 2007, with the Film Bureau providing a special subsidy of 5 million yuan. Since casting began after the New Year, many people have been watching this film. The boss's goal is very clear: three important female roles, and we just need to secure one of them,” Bai Bing explained.

She was also surprised. Just now, the boss received a call from director Chen Jiashang, who sent over the latest version of the script.

The boss printed it out, glanced at it, and muttered, "Three female characters, we have to get at least one of them."

Then he asked about Zeng Li's whereabouts and hurriedly left.

In her opinion, the boss hadn't even considered it; he had already decided on Da Qingyi in his mind.

She was slightly off. Of the three characters—Xiao Wei, Pei Rong, and the Demon Slayer—the boss only needed to secure one through his connections. Whether they were artists from the company or not was irrelevant to him.

"In that case, I'll go back and prepare." Zeng Li's expression was solemn, taking this matter seriously.

"Sister Zeng Li, I have some information about that movie. Would you like a copy?" Bai Bing asked as soon as Zeng Li stood up.

"Okay! Thank you for your help." Zeng Li nodded, took a few steps, and then suddenly turned back. "Xiao Dong, although I have an executive agent, I have very little autonomy in business. I'll entrust my brokerage business to you as well."

“Okay! Sister Zeng Li, I’ll send it to your email right now.” Bai Bing’s eyes sparkled as she finally took the crucial step.

Chunqiu's talent agency department has five top executives. Apart from these five, all other artists' management business is handled by Bai Bing.

Needless to say, newly signed artists are under her jurisdiction from the very first day of signing.

There is no department head in the artist management department. Zhang Min told her at the beginning of the year, "These five are a test for you. You will become the department head when you can secure their management business."

Of the five examiners, one has already passed.

"Thank you, you're very good, better than your boss." Zeng Li smiled, and Zhang Min naturally gave them instructions as well.

She's laid-back about acting, working, and being a person. Unlike some others, she doesn't have all sorts of considerations in her mind.

She thought Bai Bing was nice, and it was quite convenient, so she did it that way.

Zeng Li closed the door, and the assistant could no longer contain her joy.

She kicked off her high heels and started dancing joyfully in the room.

Three minutes later, Liu Jing pushed open the door and walked in, somewhat surprised, "You won the lottery?"

"I..." Bai Bing blushed, then thought, what's there to be shy about? I can jump around even when I'm completely naked, so what's the big deal?

"Boss, Zeng Li hasn't handed over the brokerage business to me anymore," Bai Bing shared her joy.

"Congratulations, you walked five meters out of a hundred meters," Liu Jing congratulated him.

"Why? Shouldn't it be twenty meters?" Bai Bing was stunned.

"Zeng Li is only worth five meters." Liu Jing knew this woman well; she was just lazy and wanted to avoid trouble.

The two don't see each other often, but they frequently chat via text message.

His M-Zone data plan plus SMS package gives him over a thousand SMS messages a month, half of which he uses on Da Qingyi.

The two could be considered pen pals, and there was a possibility that their relationship would develop into that of amateur enthusiasts—this was the title Liu Jing had given them.

"That's true." Bai Bing's joy also diminished as Zeng Li's value decreased.

"Where is Zeng Li?" Liu Jing asked.

"Boss, Sister Zeng Li just left. Are you two playing hide-and-seek?" Bai Bing put on her shoes and became a white-collar worker again.

"I'm going to find her; I only got halfway through what I was saying."

Before the assistant could finish reporting on his work for the day, Zhang Min told him that Han Sanping had convened a meeting with the three companies at China Film Group the day after tomorrow.

Liu Jing was naturally obliged to attend, since the whole affair had started because of him.

Then Chen Jiashang called, and thanks to the efforts of several screenwriters, the script was finally finalized. The main plot will remain unchanged; only minor revisions are needed.

Liu Jing printed out the script and, out of habit, casually gave it a quick appraisal.

[Note: This film produced both Best Actor and Best Actress winners. Now that it's in your hands, could it recreate that glory?]

So Liu Jing got excited. The Best Actor and Best Actress awards represented a lottery, which was more valuable than the entertainment industry.

He had just told Zeng Li about the matter when Mr. Wu, the boss of Orange Sky, called.

Liu Jing went out to answer the call, and the first thing the other person said was, "Brother, I didn't mean to mess with you. Orange Sky just acquired Meiya and needs some good news to boost confidence."

Orange Sky acquired Mei Ah Entertainment and renamed it Orange Sky Mei Ah Entertainment, or Orange Mei for short.

The new company's restructuring is complete, and trading resumed in early March. Orange Sky has injected considerable assets, and its current market capitalization is HK$800 million.

How could Mr. Wu not be nervous? He had only recently returned from Dandong when he learned that Liu Jing had beaten up Boss Wang on the set of "Assembly".

His nose turned cold at that moment. Luckily, he hadn't offended this young master, otherwise he might have really dared to make a move.

He's not afraid of fighting. Back in the day, when everyone was involved in crime, who hadn't been in a fight?

But this guy is a former kung fu star, he's really skilled. Fighting him wouldn't be a fight, it would be one-sided beatings.

Mr. Wu tried to explain to Liu Jing, but Liu Jing didn't believe him at all.

After hanging up, I noticed two missed calls. One was from Liu Shishi, and the other was from Yang Mi; the two calls came almost simultaneously.

He returned Liu Shishi's call but ignored Yang Mi; his buddy was definitely urging him to play games.

“I told her about the situation with ‘Painted Skin,’ and I’ll go back and send her the information now. If you have any other instructions, just tell me,” Bai Bing said.

"When Liu Shishi arrives, have the receptionist let her through," Liu Jing instructed.

"Received." Bai Bing pouted. I asked you to explain about "Painted Skin," not about Liu Shishi.

"There's one more thing. Could you wash my car? I need to go to the airport this afternoon," Liu Jing instructed.

The exchange program has ended, and I'm returning to China today. Of course, Liu Jing went to pick me up at the airport.

"Received. Should we prepare some flowers?" The assistant didn't dare to complain; he was going to pick up his sister, so the car needed to be washed thoroughly.

"Hmm! A bunch of baby's breath and a bunch of red roses." Liu Jing pondered for a moment.

The assistant was surprised, but then realized what was going on.

Today is not only the day Liu Yifei returns to Beijing, but also the day Fan Bingbing is on the same flight.

I gave baby's breath to my older sister and red roses to Xiao Fan. The boss really knows flowers.

"receive."

After the assistant left, Liu Jing finally calmed down and began to review the script for "Painted Skin." It had undergone many revisions compared to the initial draft from a few months prior.

The initial script was written by Hong Kong screenwriter Kwong Man-wai, who started his career as a screenwriter for Jackie Chan's Wai Ho Films and later worked for ATV for a period of time, moving between various companies.

The initial draft leaned towards horror, containing numerous scenes of disembowelment, skinning, and vengeful ghosts. The Film Bureau rejected it outright, saying, "Are you kidding me? This is way too graphic."

Ningxia Film Studio invited Chen Jiashang to join the project and make sweeping revisions to the script, first elevating the theme by introducing the philosophical proposition that "demons do not understand love".

The revenge of the vengeful ghost is changed to the redemption of humanity, and Xiao Wei is transformed from a heart-eating demon into a "tragic character who yearns for humanity".

The storyline of Pei Rong dying in place of her husband is added to highlight the bond between the couple.

Adding a demon-slaying female character helps balance the risks of censorship.

Later, with the involvement of Shanghai Film Studio and Golden Harvest, the script was further revised, and this was the third version that Liu Jing received.

The character Pang Yong was added, along with numerous action scenes. An ambiguous scene was added between Xiao Wei and Wang Sheng, where they bathed together. The ending was changed from "both female leads die together" to "a demon saves a human to atone for their sins."

“Wang Sheng…” Liu Jing tapped the table, caught in a dilemma.

Chen Jiashang invited him to play Wang Sheng. Filming will start in the second half of the year, but he may not have time then.

Liu Jing plans to film "The Breakup" in the second half of the year.

There are many tasks in the second half of the year: the release of "The Yin-Yang Sacred Flame Order", the promotion of "Rush Hour 3", the editing and release of "Under the City Wall", and also studying diligently at school.

There are five important characters in this drama: Wang Sheng, Pang Yong, the nine-tailed fox Xiao Wei, his wife Pei Rong, and the demon slayer Xia Bing.

Pang Yong has already been cast as Donnie Yen, so it can be said that this role was prepared for him, with both Shanghai Film Group and Chen Jiashang supporting him.

Wang Sheng was made for him; his behavior and style are very similar to his, and he has a lot of action scenes.

He fought Pang Yong, he fought the lizard, he fought the demon slayer...

And there's the beginning: "Taking the enemy's head amidst ten thousand troops."

"Xiao Fan, try out for Xiao Wei; Zeng Li, try out for Pei Rong. We absolutely have to land one of these roles. As for Xia Bing, well, let Tang Yan give it a try." Liu Jing secretly plotted how to maximize his profits.

Pei Rong, Wang Sheng, and Xiao Wei have a reward coefficient of 90% or 70%, while Xia Bing has a reward coefficient of 50%.

If you can land one of the three female roles, you'll have secured the entertainment value of the show.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and Liu Jing is now calculating things very carefully.

When the casting results came out, he was speechless. The result was correct, but it wasn't the result he wanted.

In fact, if Liu Jing agrees to play Wang Sheng, the show will definitely gain a lot of entertainment value.

But he didn't know if he could free up his schedule for the second half of the year, since several other things took precedence over this film. If the system hadn't mentioned the Best Actor award, Liu Jing wouldn't have even considered it. "I have nine major ties, how can I not win over a leading lady?"

After so many years in the industry, he really wants to win a Best Actor award. Not for the chance to win a prize, but for the honor itself.

He went to film "The Warlords" because he saw a chance to win an award. But after seeing Li Lianjie's performance, his confidence in winning the award was halved.

In the film and television industry, some directors make cameo appearances in films, while others are professional actors, but there aren't many directors who have won Best Actor awards.

Jiang Wen, Stephen Chow, and Cheng Lung—each one is more impressive than the last.

Liu Jing wanted to be better than them, so he had a deep obsession with becoming the Best Actor.

dang dang...

A crisp knock on the door interrupted Liu Jing's thoughts.

Liu Shishi has arrived.

Liu Jing couldn't help but get up; he hadn't seen the little lion for a long time.

The little lion is passive, completely different from Yang Mi. He'll usually just send a text message, and rarely takes the initiative to play with him like Yang Mi does.

In the past, Liu Jing would not have acted this way.

As Sisi levels up, he realizes that his relationship with his bond is destined to be anything but innocent.

Since that's the case, then there's no need to hide it anymore.

"Please come in." Liu Jing walked towards the tea table. Little Lion liked green tea, and he wanted to choose one carefully.

"Wow, this office is huge, I love it."

Liu Jing turned around and was completely bewildered. How did these two come over together?

Yang Mi walked ahead, wearing a short white down jacket, a denim midi skirt with a slit, nude thermal stockings, and knee-high boots.

She possesses a pure yet alluring charm, along with a touch of playful cuteness.

She looked on with envy, touching this and that, curious about everything.

Liu Shishi, who was behind her, was wearing a long down jacket that reached her knees, paired with jeans and sneakers.

Compared to Yang Mi, Xiao Shizi lacks a lot of fashion sense.

"This chair is so comfortable, oh, I don't want to leave." Yang Mi was really unceremonious, not acting like a guest at all. She took off her coat, hung it on the hanger, and then sat down in Liu Jing's boss chair. "Shishi, do I look like a boss?"

"You look like a brothel madam." Liu Shishi didn't even glance at her, sitting down at the tea table with her displeasure written all over her face.

She was naturally unhappy. She had made plans with Liu Jing, but ended up running into Yang Mi downstairs.

This isn't her home; if she can come, Yang Mi can naturally come too.

The little lion had no objection to this, but Yang Mi, along the way, was like three crows cawing incessantly.

Oh, Shishi, look at the bracelet Liu Jing gave me, isn't it pretty? I didn't want it, but he insisted on giving it to me. I have nowhere to put all these things now.

The little lion muttered, "Everyone has one, what a crappy chain, it's uglier than you."

Shishi, what are you filming lately? Mu Tou Gang recommended me for a role in Zhao Baogang's film. You wouldn't believe it, this film is sure to be a hit.

The little lion's face darkened. Why bring up something you shouldn't say? I may not be as famous as you, but there's no need for you to show off like this. It's not like I earned it through my own abilities.

Shishi, Liu Jingzhen is really incompetent. He sent my dad ten cases of Wuliangye liquor before the New Year, but ended up giving them to his workplace. Good grief, the boss thought someone had bribed my dad and wanted the disciplinary department to investigate him. Haha, Brother Lin ended up writing a self-criticism…

The little lion sneered, deliberately provoking me. Doesn't he know my mom has a problem with him? He calls his dad "Brother Lin," how well-mannered!

Shishi, how are you doing at Zhuwai Academy? The first class started in 2007, why don't you go and review?

Shishi...

The little lion didn't want to talk, and she walked the journey that normally took ten minutes in five.

"If I were a madam, you'd be the top courtesan." Yang Mi chuckled, "What are you pretending for? Do you really think you're some kind of celestial being?"

It's shameful for someone so old to call a boy younger than themselves "senior brother".

Yang Mi initially had no problem with Liu Shishi, but with the resumption of production on the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the announcement that Liu Jing would play Yang Kang, she felt very uncomfortable because Liu Shishi was playing Mu Nianci.

After 2002, Liu Jing filmed many dramas, but not many of them featured romantic scenes.

He played the young Zhang Wuji in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the Zhengde Emperor in "The World's Finest", Xiaoyuer in "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws", a psychopath in "New Police Story", and Yang Guo in "The Return of the Condor Heroes"...

In "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she is Guo Xiang, who loves but cannot have the other, watching the two lovers show their affection without knowing it.

It is said that in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Sugar Man, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci have many romantic scenes, which makes Yang Mi even more unhappy.

Liu Jing suddenly lost interest in making tea. He decided to use mineral water instead, one bottle for each person, one flavor.

Why is my fishpond so peaceful when other people's fishponds are so harmonious? That's a question.

"Yang Mi, could you please leave? I have something important to discuss with my senior brother." Liu Shishi frowned, thinking Yang Mi was crazy.

"What a coincidence, I also have something important to do. My sister is very generous, so I'll let you speak first." Yang Mi picked up a pen from her desk and twirled it in her hand.

"You..." Liu Shishi was slightly angry. You can't understand human language, can you?

"Alright. We're best friends, what's there to argue about?" Liu Jing said impatiently.

"Hmph!" Liu Shishi snorted. I don't have a sister like that.

"Tch!" Yang Mi scoffed, "I can't afford a sister like that."

Liu Jing served tea, preparing to see the guest out. These two used to have a so-so relationship; how did it deteriorate like this?

"Senior brother, this is Mu Nianci's script." Liu Shishi quickly took the script out of her bag. If she continued to act spoiled, her senior brother would get angry.

She wasn't Yang Mi, and didn't want to upset her senior brother.

Yang Mi is really not afraid. If I have the ability to make him angry, I have the ability to coax him back. At worst, I will use all my skills.

Liu Jing picked up the notebook, a headache forming on his face. "Shishi, I really don't have time..."

“I didn’t force you to play Yang Kang. I know you’re busy, and I’m not an unreasonable person. Can you take a look at the script for me and see if there are any problems?” Liu Shishi interrupted.

Yang Mi became interested and finally stood up from her office chair. "Forcing him to play Yang Kang? What do you mean?"

"I have several films to shoot recently, so I really don't have time to take on a cameo role," Liu Jing explained.

Old Cai is willing to wait for Hu Ge to fully recover, recover from his injuries, recover his condition, and recover his mood.

Zhang Min couldn't wait any longer and demanded that the machine be started as soon as possible to minimize losses. She had set a timeframe for Lao Cai last year, with the machine to start no later than April.

According to the analysis of the Spring and Autumn Market Team, martial arts dramas are declining, and future investment directions will also change.

Old Cai dared not disobey and set the filming date for the end of March.

Bai Bing argued her case forcefully and insisted on including Chunqiu in the cast. Old Cai was furious. "The actors I want, you won't give me a single one, but instead you're throwing a bunch of newcomers at me. Are you treating me like a babysitter?"

A few days ago, Liu Jing suddenly contacted Lao Cai, saying that he had been very busy lately and apologized for the role of Yang Kang.

For Lao Cai, this was a complete shock. She was promoting the scandal involving Liu Shishi and Liu Jing with great enthusiasm, rehashing old news.

“Indeed! With your status, it would be a waste of time for you to play Yang Kang.” Yang Mi felt relieved.

Liu Shishi felt uncomfortable listening to this, so she pulled up her chair, not wanting Yang Mi to sit next to her.

Yang Mi chuckled and plopped down on Liu Jing's lap. "You little brat, I'll make you furious!"

"Ahem, what are you doing? Shishi is still here." Liu Jing felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes. "If I weren't here, what were you two really planning to do?"

"I'll sit for a while." Yang Mi used her legs as a stool, without doing anything else out of line, and handed over the script. "Shishi asked you to take a look at the script, so just take a look. 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' has been adapted to death, maybe this Mu Nianci is different."

"Old Cai has made a lot of changes. Yang Kang has become the second male lead, Mu Nianci has become the second female lead, and Hua Zheng is the third female lead. These three characters have had a lot more screen time." Liu Jing glanced at the script. Compared with the previous version, the script was not much different.

As he flipped through the pages, his expression gradually darkened.

There are not only more romantic scenes, but also quite a few kissing scenes.

Yang Mi leaned over to take a look, stuck out her tongue, and quickly sat down on a chair nearby. She grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, crossed her legs, and got ready for a show.

"This is a martial arts drama, not a sex scene. And you, you're willing to let her change Mu Nianci like this?" Liu Jing sneered.

"Sister K added scenes specifically for you because you played Yang Kang," Liu Shishi said calmly.

"That's normal. Without these, it wouldn't attract the audience's attention," Yang Mi said cheerfully.

"Sister Cai is planning to cut a few shows, but will keep two." Liu Shishi looked at Liu Jing, trying to figure out what he was thinking.

There's no need to investigate further; it's obvious the other party isn't interested.

Liu Jing was naturally unhappy; these were fish in his pond.

"Senior brother, do you think I should or shouldn't take the picture?" Liu Shishi pressed.

"No, I won't film." Liu Jing answered decisively.

In the past, he would have been ambiguous, but now he is not ambiguous at all.

"Okay! I understand." Liu Shishi smiled.

Humans experience joy and sorrow differently; Liu Shishi was happy, but Yang Mi was not.

What a load of rubbish! I've just been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing

That jerk Liu never cared whether she filmed kissing scenes or not, yet he cares so much about Liu Shishi. Yang Mi is feeling resentful.

"Shishi, you've never filmed a kissing scene?" Yang Mi tossed down her melon seeds and sat down next to Liu Shishi.

“It didn’t happen before, and it won’t happen again.” Liu Shishi sat upright, looking directly at her senior brother.

"Tsk tsk, her first on-screen kiss is still going strong." Yang Mi's eyes darted around.

Liu Shishi was very proud and glanced at Yang Mi sideways, "Unlike some people, who behave indecently."

Yang Mi was furious. "I've filmed kissing scenes before, but those were all technical tricks. If I dared to actually kiss her, who knows what my brother would do to me." Even worse, her brother didn't do anything to her.

"My first kiss is still there, I'll keep it... mmm..."

Liu Shishi's eyes widened, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

Liu Jing was dumbfounded. This guy is really fierce. Isn't he afraid the little lion will get angry?
"Yang Mi, I'm going to kill you!" Liu Shishi roared in fury, her face turning red with rage.

He pushed the chair aside and kicked Yang Mi.

The two women were fighting, one pulling my hair and the other pulling my bra.

Liu Jing rushed over to break up the fight, but before he even got close, he was dumbfounded.

Yang Mi is a trained fighter; Liu Shishi is no match for her.

"Aren't you ashamed? Get up right now!" Liu Jing shouted. "Once is enough, this is never going to end."

Yang Mi licked her lips and obediently stood up, saying, "It's nothing special."

"Cough cough, vomit..." Liu Shishi patted her chest and dry heaved, tears streaming down her face.

I can't win a fight, and I can't win an argument.

The little lion was filled with hatred, especially since this happened in front of his senior brother; he felt like dying.

"Yang Mi..." Liu Jing roared angrily, having already taken advantage of the situation, he still wanted to stab her in the back.

"Alright, alright, Shishi, she's a woman, so you didn't lose out. If you feel bad, I'll help you get revenge." Liu Jing patted the little lion's back and comforted it softly.

"Come on," Yang Mi said smugly.

"Senior brother, boohoo..." The little lion lay in Liu Jing's arms, crying so sadly.

"Let's go, let's go..." Yang Mi skipped away, put on her coat, and quickly slipped away.

Liu Jing tried his best to comfort her, but to no avail; the more he tried to comfort her, the more aggrieved she became.

The little lion clutched its chest, tears streaming down its face, looking delicate and fragile, like a sick lotus.

This damned sense of fragmentation gave him a strong urge to destroy.

Ultimately, having no other choice, he took Yang Mi's example and shut her up.

The little lion didn't struggle; it closed its eyes and simply collapsed into its senior brother's arms.

Favorability +1
Favorability +1
Liu Jing remarked that before even engaging in any real combat, the favorability rating had already reached 88 points.

He had no doubt that he could break through one level and also break through the level with 90 points of favorability.

"I am a virtuous gentleman, I am Liu Xiahui, I am a moral exemplar, I am a man of Lu..."

"Senior brother..." The same "senior brother" was tinged with grievance just now, but now it was all shyness.

Liu Jing felt a jolt in his heart, almost breaking down under that damned sense of vulnerability.

"Junior sister, I didn't play Yang Kang this time, so I broke my promise. I owe you a movie."

Liu Jing took a deep breath, remained calm, and confirmed the little lion's status.

"You go about your business, it's no trouble." The little lion bit his lip, like a timid wife.

"That's just Yang Mi's personality, don't be angry with her..."

"Senior brother, I want to practice martial arts too." Liu Shishi raised her head, thinking, "It's impossible for you to avenge me."

I'll practice martial arts myself, and I'll avenge myself. When I can beat Yang Mi, I'll show you how I'll humiliate her.

"Okay! I'll teach you when I have time." Liu Jing agreed readily. Little Lion had a good foundation and was easier to train than Yang Mi.

The little lion left contentedly, and Yang Mi sneaked back again.

"Hey! How did you handle her? She's not going to do anything rash, is she?" Yang Mi peeked out, ready to run away at any moment.

"Some people can joke, some people can't, and some jokes are simply not allowed," Liu Jing warned.

"What's the big deal? Look at her, it's like she was raped." Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the matter was settled, and then pushed open the door to go into the house.

“Shishi is not Gao Yuanyuan; she has more traditional ideas.” Liu Jing sighed. Only Yang Mi would do something like this; even Shu Chang wouldn’t.

"She's quite traditional, all she wants is to be a concubine," Yang Mi said dismissively.

Liu Jing frowned, "Why are you speaking such blunt truths? If you have something important to say, just say it. I need to go to the airport after I finish eating."

"Let's go! I'll treat you to dinner at your Chunqiu Cafeteria. I've heard it's pretty good." Yang Mi took out a hair tie from her pocket and tied her hair up so it would be easier to eat later.
