Chapter 184: You

Yan Wenxi didn't say a word, just kept taking out his phone.

"Duan, take a few people to wait at the airport. Someone will contact you in a moment."

After finishing, he hung up the phone, then sent a mobile number to Shen Ci, and looked at her: "You call this number when you get to the airport and meet up with my people. No matter what happens, with my people there, you don't need to be afraid."

Shen Ci was slightly stunned.

To be honest, she didn't expect Uncle Yang and Brother Xizi to put in so much effort for her matter.

Directly sending people to wait for her at the airport to go with her.

After the shock came gratitude.

"Don't just stand there. Isn't it an urgent matter? Hurry and go." Boss Yang urged.

Shen Ci's expression moved. Yan Wenxi saw her lips moving and knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted first: "No need to thank me. You'll have to make up a meal for us when you get back."

Boss Yang also laughed: "Don't you dare leave halfway again."

Shen Ci swallowed the words of thanks and nodded readily: "Okay, I'll treat everyone to dinner when I get back."

After saying that, she stood up and left the restaurant.

On the way to the airport, Shen Ci's heart was inevitably a bit complicated.

Actually, dealing with these people, she inevitably had reservations. They were all old oil-slickers in the underworld, and even if she had lived for sixty-five years, she might not be as shrewd as these people.

She wanted to open up these connections to facilitate her actions in Longcheng in the future, but she had never thought about really opening her heart to these people, let alone thinking that the other party would pay a few points of sincerity to her.

They were all business people, profit-oriented. At most, it was just acting on the scene.

But just now, she suddenly realized she was wrong. She shouldn't measure others' hearts with her own thoughts.

Uncle Yang and Brother Xizi's actions really surprised her, but it also made her suddenly understand a truth: like these old-school figures who socialize with people all day and have seen countless people, actually liking someone or hating someone is very pure and simple.

They like you, appreciate you, recognize you—they might not need any reason; just looking at you with their eyes is enough.

By the same token, hating you is also something that can be decided by a glance.

It was she who thought too complexly. If these people didn't like her, she wouldn't have been able to set up this game today. So, as early as the first time they met, she had already entered the eyes of Uncle Yang and Brother Xizi.

After thinking it through, Shen Ci smiled. Sure enough, the simpler things are, the easier it is to think of them as complex, and she, who considered herself a very complex person, was actually far simpler than she imagined.

Arriving at the airport, Shen Ci had just gotten out of the car when she saw five or six men in suits gathered at the entrance.

These people looked like they were in suits and leather shoes, but in reality, they all had a discordant energy. Shen Ci felt at a glance that these people must be Brother Xizi's men.

She took out her phone and called. One of them answered the phone quickly, and it was one of the men in suits.

"I see you!"

Shen Ci waved her hand. The other party scanned left and right and noticed Shen Ci. Several people strode over at a trot.

The leader opened his mouth and called: "You must be Sister Ci, right? My name is Duan Duan, Brother Xizi's man."

The other four behind him stood straight, bowing in unison: "Sister Ci!"

Shen Ci blinked, but this time she didn't rush to refuse this title, because this lineup, whether listening or looking, was quite imposing and domineering.

It was just right for the occasion where she was going to support her sister.

Shen Ci organized her expression and looked at the few people with a calm demeanor: "Did you all bring your ID cards?"

Several people nodded. Shen Ci also took out her ID card and handed it to Duan Duan: "Buy first-class tickets for all the brothers, the earliest flight to Hengdian. I'll transfer the money to you."

First-class?

Duan Duan didn't dare. A first-class ticket cost nearly a thousand yuan.

"Sister Ci, don't. We can just take economy class. We're all old men, no need to be so comfortable."

Shen Ci looked at him and said: "You are Brother Xizi's men; I definitely won't treat you badly. Go."

Duan Duan nodded upon hearing this and didn't dare to say anything more, taking the ID cards to buy tickets.

At the same time, Shen Ci received a WeChat message from Yan Wenxi: "My brothers rarely go out of Longcheng to handle things, and they don't have a light touch. You look after them. As long as the person is left with a breath, brother can settle it."

Using the most ordinary tone to say the most terrifying things—that's what people like Yan Wenxi are like.

Shen Ci looked at the message on WeChat, still feeling that these Chinese characters combined together made her feel particularly strange, feeling as if she were filming a movie.

On the other side, the first person to receive the news and rush to the set was Lu Jinzhao, along with Zhang Heng's father, the chairman of "Yingtian Group," Zhang Yingtian.

In the room, the atmosphere was suffocating for a while. The assistant director, Lu Jinzhao, and Sister Kuan sat on one side.

Zhang Yingtian and Zhang Heng sat on the other side.

Zhang Yingtian was silent, but his aura was aggressive, and the aura of being in a high position for a long time was very oppressive.

Zhang Heng sat next to his father, revealing an arrogant expression: "Where are they? Where are those two people?"

Lu Jinzhao and the others also kept their mouths shut. Today, who was right and who was wrong was already very obvious, but due to Zhang Yingtian's status as an investor, Lu Jinzhao didn't want to make things too ugly.

Seeing that several people didn't speak, Zhang Yingtian straightened his posture slightly, and his voice spoke faintly first.

Only to see his eyelids lift slightly as he looked at Lu Jinzhao: "President Lu, I am also an old investor in 'Jin Xiao.' We have cooperated so many times. This is the only time I let my son join the crew to play a small role for fun, and this kind of thing happens?"

"From childhood to adulthood, his mother and I couldn't bear to touch him with a finger, and now this—he got slapped twice on your crew? What? Was he filming an action scene?"

"Zhang Dong." Lu Jinzhao spoke slowly upon hearing this: "You can ask your son if there was anything wrong with what he did. Two actresses wouldn't have such physical conflict with him for no reason."

"You don't need to tell me these things. The one who got hit is my son. Bring the person who hit him in front of me, and I will naturally ask clearly." Zhang Yingtian had the demeanor of wanting to vent his son's anger, which made Lu Jinzhao frown involuntarily.

This is great. Three parties involved, all backed by investors.

He wasn't worried about Xu Zishan's side, but he was worried about Miss Shen knowing about this.

He couldn't even more pull Shen Li in front of Zhang Yingtian to be humiliated. If Miss Shen found out, the crew could be disbanded directly.

"Zhang Dong, tell me, how do you want to handle this matter?" Lu Jinzhao took a step back, wanting to probe the other party's bottom line.

Zhang Yingtian snorted upon hearing this: "As an investor, I still have the right to replace two actors, right?"

"Zhang Dong, filming is already halfway through. It's not realistic to replace actors now."

"Then let my son return those two slaps. That's fair, right?"

Lu Jinzhao took a deep breath, facing Zhang Yingtian's aggressive attitude, and was at a loss for a moment.

Who would have thought that the next second, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open from the outside with a "bang." Several big men in suits broke in, scaring everyone in the room to stand up.

Shen Ci walked into the room slowly, her expression gloomy and terrifying.

Her gaze swept across the shocked expressions of the people opposite, finally settling on Zhang Heng. Only then did she raise her eyebrows, and her red lips parted slightly.

"You're called Zhang Heng?"

Ah, accidentally got stuck here again, what do you say.
