Chapter 2

All that remained was a faint, gentle warmth.

A pair of children, a tree, a very simple story.

Yet it was told in a way that stirred the soul.

What struck him most deeply was that the young heroine possessed an extraordinary sense of self-reflection at only ten years old.

She examined whether the person she loved was truly worth loving.

Once her self-esteem was touched, she immediately decided to give up on the boy.

In our culture, "love" seems to require lowering oneself into the dust.

Only by abandoning one's self-esteem is it called love; acting pathetic is treated as true love.

This is wrong.

Finally, when the hero planted that new sycamore tree with his own hands, the film reached a perfect ending.

"You're the one!"

Qin Yu finished browsing the script, a look of pleasant surprise on his face.

How could someone who could film such a pure, beautiful movie be a scumbag?

He must be a good man who is deeply affectionate, delicate, and gentle.

He would certainly be able to leave a deep impression in the hearts of the audience.

"Huh, where did my lighter go?"

Qin Yu searched under his seat.

"Here!"

Suddenly, a small hand reached out from beside him.

Qin Yu turned his head to look at Bai Lu in the passenger seat.

He took the lighter and asked in confusion.

"Kid, what are you doing here? Didn't I say I had already terminated my contract with the company?"

Bai Lu smiled very happily upon hearing this.

"Brother Yu, how can I not follow you?" She wrinkled her little nose.

She seemed a bit disgusted.

"You are so sloppy, you even wash your underwear with your clothes; I have to help you."

"And if I'm not there, what will you do at home? No one to clean for you, and you don't know how to cook; always eating takeout is unhealthy!"

"..."

Bai Lu counted on her fingers, looking adorable as she listed them one by one.

"If I'm not there, even eating will be a problem for you."

3 Little Housekeeper Bai Lu, searching for the heroine, the 'Mou Girl' is very perky!

Qin Yu rolled his eyes as he listened.

As a grown man, would I really starve to death if you weren't there?

Besides, the room doesn't need to be cleaned every day, right?

It's bad for the feng shui.

And who said underwear can't be washed with clothes anyway...

"So I quit too." After saying this, Bai Lu looked at Qin Yu with a grin.

"From now on, I'll follow you; just keep me fed."

Bai Lu hugged Qin Yu's arm, her face full of joy.

No matter what others thought of Qin Yu, in her heart, he had always been the best.

If Qin Yu hadn't taken pity on her back then and let her be his assistant.

She probably would have been kicked out by the company long ago.

Qin Yu gave Bai Lu a helpless look.

"Kid, do you know you're narrowing your own path?"

A perfectly good future starlet, why follow me around as a little assistant?

"I don't care about that. Let's go, let's go home!"

"...Alright then."

Qin Yu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement; this girl was still young, only just eighteen.

He could just send her off to debut when she grew up.

A future starlet, after all.

It would be a pity to lose her.

Back home.

Bai Lu was just like before; she put down her bag and started tidying up the living room, then the kitchen and bedroom.

She even had to take a good look at the storage room.

Like a little kitten patrolling its territory.

"Brother Yu, there's no soy sauce at home."

"It's fine." Qin Yu sat on the sofa and shook his head.

"I don't really like soy sauce."

"How can that be? Brother Yu, you really settle for too little. I'll go buy some."

"Do as you see fit."

Bai Lu turned off the stove again, then rushed downstairs in a flurry, returning home shortly after with two bottles of soy sauce.

"Dinner is ready, Brother Yu. Let's eat."

"Coming."

At the table, Bai Lu felt sweet inside watching Qin Yu eat the meal she had made.

She really liked this warmth, the feeling of being like a home.

It's just...

"Brother Yu, we've both quit our jobs; won't the company take this place back?"

Bai Lu looked at everything in the house, feeling a bit uneasy.

Although this house wasn't big, and the residential complex was a bit old.

She just really liked it; so many wonderful memories were in this house.

And the furniture inside was also bought by her and Qin Yu together.

"Don't worry, I've already bought this house. You can live here as long as you want."

Qin Yu wasn't stupid.

It's 2011 now, and housing prices in the capital haven't skyrocketed yet.

Although he didn't have much money on hand, he gritted his teeth and bought the house from the company on a mortgage.

The house was average, but it was in a school district.

In a few years.

The price would easily double.

"That's great, Brother Yu! From now on, this is our home."

Bai Lu didn't care whether housing prices rose or not; she just wanted to have a little home.

In her eyes, this house was the best.

"Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold."

"Got it~"

After the meal, Bai Lu hurried to wash the dishes, then mopped the floor and did the laundry.

She even urged Qin Yu to go take a shower.

Like a little housekeeper.

After showering, Qin Yu returned to the bedroom, typing out the script from his mind.

While lamenting his own bad luck.

Two years ago, he transmigrated to this parallel world.

He carried a Female Star Assistant System with him; the more intimate he was with female stars.

The more he could pick up treasure chests dropped by them.

At first, everything was fine; Qin Yu played it low-key.

No one discovered anything unusual.

But he didn't expect that when filming *Swords of Legends* at the beginning of the year.

A single misstep led to eternal regret.

Originally, Qin Yu just wanted to fleece Yang Mi.

But who knew that Reba would come later; Qin Yu just shook her hand and a silver treasure chest exploded.

Having tasted the sweetness, Qin Yu couldn't resist the temptation.

In less than half a month...

"Sigh, it's just a pity that I can't fleece this SSR Reba anymore!"

"She's a treasure trove."

And the reason Qin Yu was so calm about being blacklisted was that he had long expected this day.

It was just a matter of time.

So he had prepared early; being blacklisted was nothing.

At worst, he would promote himself.

He just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

That little fox Yang Mi had too sharp a nose.

"Done!" Qin Yu saved the script and hurriedly printed it out.

He planned to go find Fatty Zhou tomorrow to ask for help.

Although he had the script and a director skill card, he didn't have the filming props.

He couldn't afford to buy these things.

He could only find someone to rent them from.

The next day.

Before going to find Fatty Zhou, Qin Yu came to New Pictures.

Speaking of New Pictures, many people wouldn't be strangers to it, even though Zhang Weiping was quite a big deal right now.

With Zhang Yimou in one hand and a megaphone in the other.

He criticized the entertainment industry until everyone knew him.

The name of the "Great Critic" resounded throughout the entertainment circle.

Even big entertainment companies like Huayi, Orange Sky, and Enlightened Media didn't dare to bicker with him.

But wait two more years, and Zhang Weiping would be miserable.

Swallowing the national master's money, withholding box office revenue—everyone would want to beat him...

Even dogs would shake their heads at him.

However, this had nothing to do with Qin Yu; he wasn't here to find Zhang Weiping this time, but to find the film's heroine.

"Sister Ni Ni, someone is looking for you outside?"

Wearing a long dress, having just finished a commercial performance, the charming Ni Ni was a bit strange.

She looked at her assistant in confusion.

"Who is it?"

"The 'Cannon King' Qin Yu."

After saying this, the little assistant couldn't help but laugh.

4 Ni Ni: I'm not that stupid, it's impossible for me to be tricked by Qin Yu!

Although netizens outside the circle didn't know much about Qin Yu's business, it couldn't be hidden from those in the circle.

They were all in the same circle.

News traveled fast.

Who didn't know that this guy Qin Yu had tricked many female stars?

And they were all little starlets.

It provoked public anger, and in the end, several entertainment companies joined forces to blacklist him.

Putting other things aside, people in the circle actually admired Qin Yu quite a bit.

How did this guy do it, being able to flirt with so many female stars?

If it weren't for the sake of appearances, they would really want Qin Yu to open a class so they could go listen to the lectures.

Ni Ni also laughed when she heard this.

She shook her head and said.

"Tell him I don't have time, please ask him to leave."

Ni Ni was also a woman; although she was very charming and open-minded about men and women, she also understood these things in the entertainment industry.

Qin Yu's business really wasn't much to speak of.

It was just that his reputation wasn't very good, and she didn't really want to have any contact with him.

"Oh, Sister, he guessed you would say that, so he told me that if you don't go, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life."

"..."

"Interesting~"

Ni Ni put down the phone in her hand and crossed her legs.

Her snow-white thighs were exposed to the air, and every movement was very sexy.

She tilted her head and thought to herself.

As expected of the guy who could trick so many starlets, he's very smart.

A very interesting person.

"Then bring him here, and remember, try not to let others see."

"Okay, Sister." The little assistant hesitated, but still spoke up.

"Sister, aren't you afraid he~"

Ni Ni rolled her beautiful eyes; she also knew what the little assistant wanted to say.

"What, are you afraid he'll trick me? How is that possible? I'm not like those silly women who have no brains."

"There are plenty of handsome guys in the circle."

"Fine."

Before long, the little assistant brought Qin Yu to Ni Ni's lounge.

She looked up.

Although she was in the entertainment industry.

Ni Ni had to admit that this guy Qin Yu had a good appearance.

His eyes were long and narrow, his nose bridge was high, and his figure was tall.

Unlike some male artists in the circle who were weak and sickly, Qin Yu looked sunny, handsome, and very stylish.

Ni Ni muttered to herself.

"No wonder he can trick so many female stars; this guy's appearance is quite good."

"Nice to meet you, hello Ni Ni!"

Qin Yu reached out his hand; Ni Ni hesitated for a moment, then extended her own little hand.

The two had just shaken hands.

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Qin Yu's mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a bronze treasure chest.]

[Ding, treasure chest opened, congratulations to the host for obtaining the song, "The Beauty of the World is Interlocked with You!"]

"Another SSR?"

Qin Yu didn't expect that the first handshake would actually explode a treasure chest.

If he could trick her into going to a hotel...
