A top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also a Taoist priest.
Chapter 53: Helping the Taoist Priest Raise Friends
Thinking of this, Chen Shouyi smiled and spoke.
"No rush."
Zhang Ruonan was taken aback.
"Take your time. Take care of everything at school. There's no need to rush," Chen Shouyi said casually. "Liang Yin also needs time to make arrangements."
After saying that, he turned to Liang Yin and said, "I am quite familiar with the crew of 'Legend of Nine Tails Fox'. You can show Ruonan around the work area first, and bring her over after you have taken care of everything at Ruonan's school."
Having worked alongside Fang Ying for so many years, Liang Yin had long since developed the ability to read people's expressions and moods.
She understood the key point of the Taoist priest's words almost instantly.
The focus isn't on Ruonan's side, but on "no need to rush" and "take it slow." This reminds me of the scene arrangement between the Taoist priest and Ms. Chen Yao on the set of "Qingqiu Fox."
"Alright, Daoist Master," Liang Yin replied with a smile, appearing even more composed than before.
"Then I'll help Ruonan find an apartment near the company to settle down first. After Ruonan comes back from Hangzhou, I'll show her the job content and process."
Just as Zhang Ruonan was about to thank him again, Fang Xu, who had been listening for a while, suddenly spoke up.
"Sister Liang, there's no need to look anymore."
Liang Yin turned to look at him, and Zhang Ruonan also looked at President Fang, who had just helped her out of a predicament, with some doubt.
"I have a loft near the company, it's all furnished but I haven't lived in it yet," Fang Xu said with a smile, waving his hand. "It's just sitting there empty anyway, so Miss Zhang can stay there. It's close to the company, so it's convenient for her commute."
Zhang Ruonan hesitated after hearing this. She looked at Fang Xu and felt that it was not appropriate.
We've only known each other for less than an hour, and she's already helped me out of a tight spot, made me settle in, and now she's even arranged a place for me to stay. Isn't that an incredible favor?
But she didn't know who this Mr. Fang was, so she couldn't directly refuse. She could only turn her gaze to Liang Yin, then to Chen Shouyi, waiting for their reaction.
Chen Shouyi glanced at Fang Xu.
This kid's pretty savvy.
"Good." Chen Shouyi nodded.
Upon receiving the Taoist priest's "good," Fang Xu's smile deepened.
"Okay, I'll give the key to Sister Liang tomorrow. Miss Zhang can just take it with her when she comes back."
He was secretly overjoyed. Although he had planned to use this loft to support his friends, supporting his own friends was not as worthwhile as supporting the Taoist priest's friends.
Who is this Taoist priest? Building up this kind of relationship might bring many benefits in the future.
Seeing that her future boss had nodded, Zhang Ruonan didn't hesitate any longer and bowed slightly to Fang Xu: "Thank you, President Fang."
Fang Xu waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, don't call me President Fang, it's too formal."
"Then... Brother Fang?" Zhang Ruonan called out tentatively.
"Hey! This sounds much better." Fang Xu grinned, clearly in a good mood.
The group walked and chatted on campus, with Fang Xu continuing to introduce the filming locations of Weiwei, except that there was one more person in the group.
Chen Shouyi nodded intermittently.
Liang Yin walked alongside Zhang Ruonan behind them, quietly introducing the company's basic information to Ruonan as they walked:
"Our office is located in Xiangjiang Plaza on Huaihai Middle Road. You will mainly be working with the Taoist priest from now on. When the Taoist priest is filming in Hengdian, you will go to Hengdian with him. The rest of the time you will be in Shanghai."
Zhang Ruonan listened attentively, still feeling a little unreal, but at least she knew that the company was real.
After a while, Fang Xu looked back at the group, then at the sky: "That's about enough, shall we head back?"
Chen Shouyi nodded, and Liang Yin and Zhang Ruonan naturally had no objections.
The car drove from Songjiang towards Huaihai Middle Road.
Zhang Ruonan leaned against the car window, watching the tall buildings outside gradually increase, and the weight that had been hanging over her heart lifted considerably.
Although what happened today was indeed a bit surreal, after what I just learned, I at least know that these people in front of me don't seem like scammers.
Upon arriving at the south tower of Xiangjiang Plaza on Huaihai Middle Road, Fang Xu parked the car, and the four of them entered the lobby together.
The elevator went upstairs, and after passing through the corridor, we returned to the reception area outside the reception office.
Fang Xu turned to look at Chen Shouyi, a smile plastered on his face:
"Master, aren't you in a hurry to go back tonight? You won't be able to film if you go back, and the script revisions will take time. Why don't you stay in Shanghai for a few more days?"
Chen Shouyi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
Zhuo Yun's script revisions in Hengdian will take time, so he'll just have to wait around when he gets back.
Moreover, Fang Xu's second acupuncture treatment is coming up soon, so it's better to stay in Shanghai for a few days to avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth.
"Alright."
Fang Xu was delighted upon hearing this and clapped his hands vigorously: "Alright! Then let me be your personal tour guide for the next few days! I know Shanghai like the back of my hand, I can provide a one-stop service for eating, drinking, and entertainment!"
After saying that, he turned to Liang Yin: "Sister Liang, why don't you take Miss Zhang to visit our company and familiarize her with the environment? You can also introduce her to the job duties while you're at it."
Liang Yin understood immediately; it was indeed inconvenient for a newly hired young woman to be standing next to Fang Xu when he was alone with the Taoist priest.
"Okay, Mr. Fang, Ruonan, let's go, I'll take you to see it."
As soon as Zhang Ruonan entered the company, she looked around curiously. The layout of the office area, the posters on the walls, and the project schedules posted in the corridor all piqued her interest.
She had never worked for a legitimate film and television company, and she would take a second look at everything she saw.
When Liang Yin called her, she turned her gaze away from a poster announcing the wrap-up of "My Sunshine" and habitually looked at Chen Shouyi.
Chen Shouyi nodded to her: "Go ahead."
Zhang Ruonan then followed Liang Yin with peace of mind. The two left the reception area and turned into the corridor, where Liang Yin began to introduce the distribution of various departments to her.
Fang Xu led Chen Shouyi into his office.
As soon as the door closed, Fang Xu seemed like a completely different person. The face that had been so composed in front of Liang Yin and Zhang Ruonan instantly switched to a fawning mode.
He opened the cabinet, took out a tea cake from the back, carefully pried off a piece, then put the tea leaves into the Yixing teapot, washed the tea, brewed it, and poured it out—the whole set of actions was smooth and effortless.
Chen Shouyi sat on the sofa, watching Fang Xu bustling around like a waiter, without saying anything.
When the tea was served, he picked it up and took a sip. It was indeed a good tea, smooth on the palate and with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
He put down his teacup and glanced at Fang Xu.
"Mr. Fang, please speak freely."
Fang Xu chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and sat down on the armrest of the sofa next to Chen Shou:
"Master, hehehe, ever since you performed acupuncture last time, and after drinking your prescription these past few days, I feel completely different."
My back doesn't ache anymore, my legs aren't weak anymore, I sleep soundly at night, and I wake up feeling warm all over in the morning.
He got more and more excited as he spoke: "My sister said my complexion is so much better than before. I'm thinking, Master, your medical skills are so good that even all the experts in Ruijin combined wouldn't be a match for you—"
Chen Shouyi raised his hand to interrupt his long-winded speech: "Benefactor, get to the point."
Fang Xu choked for a moment, coughed dryly, and his smile turned sly:
"Master, I just wanted to ask if it's permissible to have sexual intercourse during treatment?"
Chen Shouyi glanced at him; that was certainly a direct question.
"Not for now."
Fang Xu's face fell immediately, his expression a mix of disappointment and grievance.
"However," Chen Shouyi picked up his teacup and took another sip, then added slowly, "after the second acupuncture treatment, you can start moving around a bit."
Fang Xu's eyes lit up instantly, and he sprang to his feet. His previous lifeless demeanor vanished, replaced by a bright, almost blindingly radiant smile.
"Alright, alright! Don't worry, Master, I will definitely take my medicine on time and won't miss anything!"
He quickly picked up the teapot to add tea for Chen Shouyi, his attentiveness setting a model for the tea ceremony world.
Just as Chen Shouyi was about to pick up his teacup and take another sip, a clear and melodious system notification suddenly rang in his mind.
