Chapter 445: The Film Is Affected — Xu Can Notes It Silently in His Heart!

~7 min read 1,231 words

"You should be very clear exactly how many big-shot collaborators Xu Can has now. If we offend him, we're completely finished. But now the other side has given us a choice — as long as you two leave, our company can be safe. Do you want to choose to do this?"

Reporter Zhang was instantly stunned; this was not the outcome he wanted.

Without this job, he would lose his most stable salary income. In such turbulent times, not being able to earn money would be fatal for him!

Reporter Zhang hurriedly dropped to his knees without an ounce of self-respect.

"Boss, I beg you, I really can't do without this job. I didn't do it on purpose. I will definitely sincerely apologize to Xu Can and seek his forgiveness. I won't let our company fall into an even more dire state!"

"There's nothing left to discuss. If you don't leave, then the ones leaving will be us!"

In the end, the two reporters were still kicked out. Neither of them had the faintest idea what they had done wrong!

They had merely reported the news — who told Xu Can to use their report?

After resolving this major matter, Xu Can paid it no more attention for the time being, and instead devoted more energy to adjusting his plans.

The on-site filming was gradually wrapping up.

Sister was extremely reluctant to leave. She was very unwilling to part from this filming location — it held memories of her and Xu Can, and the scenes of the two of them drawing a little closer kept surfacing in her mind.

If it weren't for the opportunity of this shoot, the two of them might not have been able to reunite this closely again.

"Will you come to tonight's wrap party..."

Sister asked carefully.

Xu Can was adjusting the final shot. When he suddenly heard her, he didn't turn around. While intently watching the screen, he replied casually, "I should go."

Sister felt a little thrill of joy inside.

After tonight, she might only meet Xu Can again during the publicity period.

But those wouldn't be private meetings, so she still preferred the kind of interaction they had now.

So she had to seize this chance to pour out her feelings to Xu Can once more.

After wrapping the final shoot, Xu Can gave flowers to basically everyone on set.

He knew some people felt they didn't deserve it — they were only minor extras, so how could they be lucky enough to receive such an honor!

But Xu Can made everyone equal.

No one was more humble than anyone else.

Xu Can's words truly moved everyone deeply. They wanted to continue working with Xu Can, but had no idea how long they'd have to wait for that chance.

"Tonight everyone can come to my villa and enjoy this wrap party together. It won't disturb anyone, because my villa is a standalone house!"

Xu Can raised both hands high, the smile at the corner of his mouth lingering the whole time.

Cheers rose one after another on set!

When night fell, Mei Mei had long been waiting at the villa.

She missed Xu Can terribly, so she wanted to give him a surprise in advance.

When she heard movement outside, she felt a little nervous.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a very long time. This surprise was actually a reward for herself.

It was meant to let Xu Can feel the joy and affection of a reunion after a long separation.

But then Mei Mei sensed something was off. The footsteps at the door didn't seem to be just one person — but not just two either!

As the sounds drew closer, she realized at once — he had probably brought the entire crew. If she suddenly appeared in the villa dressed like this, it would definitely make everyone speculate!

But such a private matter — she really didn't want everyone to know.

"How did so many people suddenly show up? It's all my fault — if I had asked ahead of time, this wouldn't have happened!"

"What should I do? Yishiban Society — I really don't know where to hide!"

Mei Mei could only head up to the second floor.

So many people were already waiting here now.

She couldn't let them discover her.

"Everyone just sit anywhere. The director might be a while — he has some documents to deal with at the company!"

Sister naturally took it upon herself to act as a Mei Mei person here.

After all, in this film she might be the most convincing one. When Xu Can wasn't around, she had to hold the scene together, otherwise the place would definitely be in total disorder.

So Sister didn't think too much about it, and had no idea Mei Mei was right here.

When Mei Mei saw this scene while walking upstairs, she felt quite uneasy inside.

She had no idea what kind of relationship Xu Can and she had developed, that it could let Sister naturally step into Mei Mei's position.

But these staff and actors would also wander around — before long, someone came up to the second floor.

Mei Mei could only go into their bedroom, but didn't expect someone to actually be jiggling the door handle.

Although some people were quite considerate and probably wouldn't really walk in, she was still very worried.

When he received Mei Mei's call, Xu Can had just finished getting dressed and was about to leave.

"Come save me quick, I really have no way out..."

"Why are you on the second floor? I forgot to tell you — today's the wrap party, I invited them to the villa..."

Xu Can hurriedly threw on his clothes.

If he couldn't get there in time, they might witness this awkward scene. His main concern was to keep Mei Mei from being surrounded and gossiped about by so many people.

Everyone has their own opinion — Xu Can had no way to shut every mouth.

More and more people were gathering downstairs.

When Xu Can arrived, he had run all the way from the parking lot.

The moment he walked in, he found everyone looking at him.

"You all carry on, I'm going to the bedroom to change this sweat-soaked shirt..."

Sure enough, no one suspected him at all.

Especially since Xu Can has already hired professionals to set up the venue, most people were immersed in the joy of the party and didn't pay much attention.

But Sister Gu didn't think that way; he noticed something off about Xu Can.

Wanting to go over and ask, she didn't expect Xu Can to hurry up to the second floor, as if he hadn't seen her at all.

Sister Gu followed behind the whole way, saw Xu Can enter the bedroom, and just as she was about to go up, she heard a woman's voice inside.

"You finally came, I've been so nervous here I could die!"

"Oh, you're so bad, there are still people outside!"

"We can't do it here, so many people outside are waiting; once they're gone…"

"So naughty!"

Sister Gu at the doorway looked a little forlorn.

That's right, Xu Can has a girlfriend — what identity does he have to be here anyway!

But she had already known about it long ago…
