Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

After a day of rest, Jia Jingwen and Xiao Qiang felt much better.

The two filmed the previous day's scenes again the following day.

In the following days, Zhou Yan arranged to go out with Jia Jingwen.

The crew's dormitories were nice, but they were "disturbing the peace".

So the two of them booked a room at a hotel.

Zhou Yan transforms into Dian Wei—completely insane.

"Zhou Yan, do you know? Sister Qiang is also interested in you," Jia Jingwen said, pleased with Zhou Yan's performance, and thus revealed this information to her.

"Don't be ridiculous," Zhou Yan said, somewhat skeptical. "She's the number one beauty in Taiwan."

"So what if she's the most beautiful woman in Taiwan? She's still a woman, she has joys and sorrows, and she likes handsome men too."

"Believe it or not, I've already told you."

Seeing Jia Jingwen's confident demeanor, Zhou Yan couldn't help but believe her to some extent.

"Are you serious?" Zhou Yan's tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

"You're talking nonsense, why would I lie to you?"

"I really can't believe that Sister Xiao Qiang is interested in me," Zhou Yan suddenly perked up. "Tell me the details."

"What are the benefits?" Jia Jingwen looked at Zhou Yan expectantly.

"Don't be so greedy. I've already given you hundreds of millions, aren't you satisfied?"

"You scoundrel!" Jia Jingwen blushed and rolled her eyes at Zhou Yan.

"Old Jia, you must cherish the fruits of my labor," Zhou Yan said earnestly.

"Fine, don't listen if you don't want to," Jia Jingwen said calmly, completely ignoring Zhou Yan's words.

"Alright, what do you want in return?"

"I need you to grant me one request."

"What are the requirements?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"I haven't decided yet, I'll let you know when I do," Jia Jingwen said, genuinely unsure.

"Get lost, do you think you're Zhao Min? If you don't want to talk, fine," Zhou Yan refused directly.

If you ask for something, he will agree.

This intelligence isn't even worth a single request!

Moreover, who knows what demands the other party might make in the future!

"Damn it, what's wrong with letting me have my way?" Jia Jingwen didn't expect Zhou Yan to refuse so directly, which was completely different from what she had anticipated.

"Big sister, I'm just curious. I don't necessarily need to know. You can tell me if you want, but I don't want to hear it now," Zhou Yan said, turning the tables and taking the initiative.

"You're going to drive me crazy!" Jia Jingwen was utterly speechless. "How could I possibly have fallen for you?"

"Then you'll have to ask yourself."

"Hmph," Jia Jingwen said, looking sullen.

Zhou Yan didn't indulge the other party either.

The more you indulge them, the more arrogant they become.

Over the next few days, Jia Jingwen and Zhou Yan engaged in a "cold war"!

When filming, the two of them just acted as they were supposed to.

They rarely communicate off-screen.

Jiao Enjun, Zheng Jiaxin, Lin Li and others all sensed that something was wrong.

"Xiao Yan, did you offend Jingwen?" During the break, Jiao Enjun sat down next to Zhou Yan.

"Brother Jiao, no," Zhou Yan shook his head, looking completely innocent.

"Then how come your relationship is so bad?" Jiao Enjun simply didn't believe it.

"Really?" Zhou Yan insisted on denying it.

Upon seeing this, Jiao Enjun knew that nothing he said would make a difference.

"You two are in the same production crew, after all. You'll see each other all the time. There's no need to make things so tense," what could Jiao Enjun say? He couldn't very well try to sow discord.

"Brother Jiao, I understand," Zhou Yan knew everything.

But there are some things you can't back down from.

"Are you two dating?" Jiao Enjun suddenly asked.

Zhou Yan was startled by Jiao Enjun's words, "Why would you think that?"

"Judging from your behavior, you two seem like a couple having a tiff in love." Jiao Enjun is definitely an experienced person when it comes to this.

"Brother, you're my own brother, don't spread rumors about me!" Zhou Yan hurriedly begged for forgiveness.

If this news gets out, it'll be like mud falling down your pants—even if it's not shit, it'll still look like shit.

"It's not just me who thinks this way; everyone thinks this way."

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I have a girlfriend, Fan Binbin from our film crew," Zhou Yan brought up Fan Binbin.

"It's her," Jiao Enjun realized. "I was overthinking it."

On the other side, Xiao Qiang was also chatting with Jia Jingwen.

"What's wrong with you two?"

"We had a falling out," Jia Jingwen pouted, her face full of frustration.

"What happened?"

"It's nothing."

Looking at Xiao Qiang in front of her, Jia Jingwen thought: I can't possibly tell you that I want to betray you for personal gain.

Even after Xiao Qiang found out, she still broke off all ties with her.

"You've made such a big fuss over such a small thing? Do you think I'm stupid?" Xiao Qiang didn't believe it at all.

"I swear, it's really nothing."

"Alright, I'll find a chance to talk things out between you two. If things continue like this, the director will find out sooner or later," Xiao Qiang advised.

"Yes," Jia Jingwen nodded after hearing this.

During this time, she also realized her mistake. She knew her place and that she shouldn't have made demands of Zhou Yan.

Moreover, she did miss Zhou Yan a little, but she was too embarrassed to lower her head.

Having Xiao Qiang as a middleman is the best thing ever.

Xiao Qiang was indeed very proactive, booking a table for a banquet that very day and inviting Jiao Enjun, Lin Li, Zheng Jiaxin, and a few others to accompany her.

After much persuasion from everyone, Zhou Yan and Jia Jingwen reconciled over a drink.

The two actually had no conflict. Jia Jingwen was just being a little temperamental, and Zhou Yan wanted to teach her a lesson. That was all!

Zhou Yan believed that after this experience, the other party would not dare to act childishly in front of him again and would naturally be obedient.

Now that the objective has been achieved, there is no need to continue the "cold war".

Otherwise, it will not benefit either yourself or the production team!

The six of them chatted about everything under the sun, and before they knew it, they had drunk a little too much.

Zheng Jiaxin drank the least, while Jiao Enjun and Lin Li drank the most.

Zhou Yan, Jia Jingwen, and Xiao Qiang all drank about the same amount.

"We have filming tomorrow, let's call it a day," Zhou Yan reminded them.

Eating is eating, and drinking is drinking.

We can't let our work be delayed.

"Alright," everyone checked the time and realized it was getting late, so they all got up and left.

Zhou Yan parted ways with Jia Jingwen, Xiao Qiangjie, and Zheng Jiaxin at the stairwell entrance, and then returned to her room with the drunken Jiao Enjun and Lin Li.

Zhou Yan's room was next to Jiao Enjun's, very close, while Lin Li's room was further away.

Goodnight, Brother Jiao.

"Good night," Jiao Enjun said after Zhou Yan returned to his room, and then went inside as well.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep," Jiao Enjun said, already feeling sleepy after drinking the wine.

Zhou Yan did the same; after washing up, she lay directly on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

But one person tossed and turned, unable to sleep; that person was Xiao Qiang.

The old saying goes, "Alcohol emboldens the timid." According to scientific research, this is actually because alcohol stimulates the cerebral cortex, amplifies inner desires, and then leads to doing some "unthinkable" things.

To put it bluntly, it's like thinking you're dreaming, and then amplifying the "evil" in your heart!

They thought they were in a dream, free from legal constraints, and could do whatever they wanted.

Xiao Qiang was similar; alcohol amplified her inner desires.
