Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

That evening, after dinner, Wu Wei headed to the film set as usual.

When he reached the entrance of the Qin King's Palace, he suddenly stopped.

Liu Xiaoli was standing under the eaves, watching him from a distance.

Seeing him approach, she gave an unnatural smile and slowly stepped forward to greet him: "Wu Wei, shall we talk?"

Wu Wei looked at her, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay."

The two came to a deserted corner.

Liu Xiaoli looked him up and down, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

She paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Thank you for saving Xixi last time. As her mother, I've never had the chance to thank you, and I feel really ashamed."

Wu Wei nodded slightly but did not reply.

He knew this was just the beginning.

Sure enough, Liu Xiaoli took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and looked directly into his eyes and said, "I admit that I had some prejudice against you before, and I thought that you approached Qianqian with impure intentions, but later... you proved yourself. You are really sincere to Qianqian. In fact, this sincerity is so pure that it surprised and moved me as her mother."

"but……"

Liu Xiaoli then changed the subject: "Wu Wei, you're a smart man. You should know that you and Qianqian are not a good match right now."

"If you and Sisi are together, and one day someone takes pictures of you and it gets exposed, do you know how much it will affect her image and career? And can you withstand that kind of public pressure? Being Liu Yifei's boyfriend is not an easy job."

Wu Wei remained silent, but his eye twitched involuntarily.

"Therefore, as Sisi's mother, I beg you..."

Liu Xiaoli's voice softened, carrying an unusual earnestness: "If you really like her and really want what's best for her, then leave."

Wu Wei's body stiffened slightly, and he looked at her with some surprise.

He hadn't expected her to be so lenient.

They even used the word "request".

"If you continue to stay on set and keep bothering her like this, it will be torture for Sisi."

As Liu Xiaoli spoke, a look of heartache welled up in her eyes: "You care about her so much, haven't you noticed that her condition has been getting worse and worse these days? I haven't seen a smile on her face for many days..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wei fell silent.

The image of Liu Yifei, sitting on a folding chair, eating lamb skewers with her cheeks puffed out, involuntarily surfaced in his mind when he first transmigrated.

She was clear-headed, bright, and lovely back then.

In contrast, she is becoming increasingly silent and tense on set, with a faint trace of melancholy always in her eyes.

Indeed, after that rooftop night, he seemed to have never seen her smile again.

He should have realized it much earlier.

However, his game of chasing and escaping these past few days has made him revert to his previous mindset of "only wanting to get rewards," which is why he overlooked this point.

Now that Liu Xiaoli had exposed him, he immediately felt the urge to back down.

He never wanted to cause Liu Yifei any trouble.

Always.

As for the system's rewards, he has already collected enough for now.

That's enough for him to thrive in the entertainment industry.

Since he and Liu Yifei are not a good match now, let's meet at the top when the time comes.

"So, Wu Wei, please let her go. And let yourself go too."

Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: "Actually... this is also Qianqian's wish; she has already made her choice. But you are, after all, her savior, and she can't tell you directly. So these past few days, she has been avoiding you, hoping you can understand her meaning. She just didn't expect... you to be so persistent."

"I see."

Wu Wei took a deep breath, looked at Liu Xiaoli, and said sincerely, "Aunt Liu, I apologize for the trouble I caused you and Qianqian on set these past few days. I'm so sorry."

Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting him to apologize.

She was even prepared for Wu Wei to become hysterically angry.

But he just looked at her calmly and sincerely apologized to her.

Wu Wei continued, "I'll pack up tonight and leave tomorrow."

Seeing how readily he agreed, Liu Xiaoli suddenly felt a little guilty. She said, "If you want to enter the entertainment industry... I have an opportunity to recommend you for a supporting role in a TV series..."

"No."

Wu Wei shook her head, her tone decisive: "Then, Auntie, I'll go back and pack my things first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the martial arts dormitory.

Liu Xiaoli stood there, watching his back.

Then, he let out a long sigh.

……

Back in his dorm, Wu Wei began packing his things.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack. A suitcase, a few changes of clothes, and some odds and ends were all packed in less than twenty minutes.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the small room where he had lived for almost a month, and couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, there was a knock on the door from the outside.

Wu Wei opened the door and found it was Jackie Chan's personal assistant, Xiao Wang.

"Wu Wei, your older brother needs you to come over."

"What is it?" Wu Wei asked.

"You'll find out when you get there, even if your older brother doesn't say."

Wu Wei thought for a moment. He had also been planning to say goodbye to Jackie Chan before leaving, and he also had some questions for him. So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Following Xiao Wang to Jackie Chan's dressing room, Wu Wei found four people sitting inside.

Besides Jackie Chan, there were also the film crew's director, producer, and a middle-aged man he didn't recognize.

When Jackie Chan saw him come in, he smiled and waved, "Little Wu, come here."

After introductions and pleasantries, Wu Wei learned that the middle-aged man was Lao Zhao, who was in charge of film promotion.

Jackie Chan pulled him to sit down beside him, turned to look at him, and said, "I called you here because there's something I want to tell you."

"These days I've been practicing the song 'The Path of Justice' that you wrote for me. As I practiced, I suddenly realized that this song is very suitable for our movie 'The Forbidden Kingdom'. Our movie, in the end, is about a group of people seeking justice together."

He paused, then continued, "So I mentioned to the director that I wanted to use this song as the Chinese promotional song for the movie. The director thought it was suitable and wanted you to sign a licensing agreement. The licensing fee is 20,000 yuan. If you think it's okay, just sign the agreement."

Wu Wei was secretly delighted.

Unexpectedly, there was an even bigger surprise!

A licensing fee of 20,000 yuan for a promotional song is considered a very high price in this day and age.

He took the agreement, read it carefully, and after confirming that there were no hidden problems, he signed it directly.
