Chapter 968: Finally Working Together Again!

"Ji'an Film and Television Base."

Film set lounge.

"Teacher Shen Li, your flowers!"

A staff member appeared at the door holding a large bouquet of exquisite pale purple roses, calling out tentatively with an uneasy expression.

Shen Li was applying makeup. Hearing this, Xiaoyun walked to the door and said with an unhappy expression: "Is it that Li Haojie sending them again?"

The staff member nodded awkwardly.

Seeing this, Xiaoyun said impatiently: "Didn't we say that our A-Li doesn't accept his things? Why do you keep sending them here?"

"Sister Xiaoyun, we..." The staff member was also in a difficult position, explaining in a low voice: "He is, after all, from the investment side... it's not easy for us to offend him."

"Look, it's just a bouquet of flowers; it looks nice sitting there, it's not anything valuable."

"Don't try to fool me!" Xiaoyun glared: "Last time we also thought this kind of purple rose was dyed and not worth much, so we reluctantly accepted it. As it turns out, after checking, this rose is a genetically modified variety called 'Applause Rose,' a foreign variety; a bouquet like this costs several hundred in China. We won't be accepting it this time!"

"Oh, Sister Xiaoyun, if you don't accept it, what should we do with the flowers?"

"Do whatever you want with them; even if you throw them away, it has nothing to do with us."

The lounge wasn't big, and Shen Li heard the conversation clearly. Feeling the staff member's humbleness and helplessness, Shen Li couldn't bear it and spoke up: "Sister Xiaoyun, bring the flowers in."

Xiaoyun was stunned upon hearing this, and the staff member also heard it. He hurriedly shoved the flowers into Xiaoyun's hands, who was still in a daze, his movements as urgent as if he were throwing away a hot potato.

"The flowers have been delivered, so I'll be going, Teacher Shen Li."

After saying this, the staff member turned and ran away in a flash.

Xiaoyun opened her mouth wanting to call him back, but it was too late, so she had to carry the bouquet into the room.

Shen Li saw Xiaoyun's expression through the mirror and couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, he's just a staff member; it's no use making things difficult for him."

Xiaoyun threw the flowers on the table casually and said angrily: "How can there be such a person? We've said don't accept, don't accept, yet he sends them every day; he has no self-awareness at all."

She looked up at A-Li and said worriedly: "A-Li, these flowers aren't cheap. If it gets out that you accepted such expensive flowers, even if there's nothing going on, it will become something; it's impossible to explain clearly."

Xiaoyun's worry wasn't making a mountain out of a molehill, because Shen Li was currently a popular actress in the industry, and every move she made was watched by people, with countless rivals looking for her mistakes.

This matter might not matter for an ordinary person, but for an actress like Shen Li, it would definitely be blown out of proportion.

By then, the public opinion on the internet would be impossible to control.

Shen Li naturally knew this, and she had accepted the bouquet because she had a countermeasure.

"Take this bouquet apart and distribute it to the other actresses in the crew, one for each, and just say it was sent by Young Master Li of the 'Muzi Group' for everyone; it's a foreign variety, just for the novelty."

Xiaoyun's face brightened upon hearing this: "Eh? This is a good idea; everyone has one, so it won't be focused on you."

Shen Li nodded with a smile, and Xiaoyun hurriedly followed suit.

At this time, A-Pan brought the bird's nest and rock sugar pear soup he had cooked to Shen Li, whispering: "Today is all your scenes, and there are many lines; drink more pear soup to clear your lungs and soothe your throat."

"Thank you, Brother A-Pan. You didn't add sugar, right?"

A-Pan shook his head with a smile: "No, I remember you're off sugar lately. Fortunately, there's the natural sweetness of the pear; it's not too hard to drink even without sugar."

Whether it was Xiaoyun or A-Pan, they had now become completely indispensable roles by Shen Li's side. With them there, Shen Li didn't have to worry about anything and could just fully immerse herself in the identity of an actress.

Xiaoyun soon finished distributing the flowers and returned with excitement: "A-Li, new actors are joining the crew today!"

"You saw them? Did you see Ziyu?" Shen Li asked.

Xiaoyun nodded: "I saw her, and she even greeted me, saying she was going to report to the field manager first and would come find you in a while."

Almost all of Wang Ziyu's subsequent plays were recommended by Shen Li. Even if it wasn't a play invested in by her sister, given Shen Li's current status in the industry, recommending an actor to the crew wasn't a difficult task.

Especially since Wang Ziyu was truly beautiful, it was easy for directors to accept her, whether it was a "dumb beauty," a "pure and sexy goddess," or even a "venomous villainess," she could adapt to them all.

"A-Li, Song Anyu is also joining the crew today!" Xiaoyun reminded her deliberately.

Shen Li revealed a look of realization upon hearing this: "Oh right, he's also joining today."

The last time the two met was at the awards ceremony. Song Anyu was now a top-tier male actor who could sit in the C-position of the second row at event venues.

And with the addition of awards, Shen Li's seating at major event venues had also moved closer to the front each time; the most recent one had also reached the second row.

"After so long, you're finally working together again," Xiaoyun sighed, her expression full of intoxication and emotion.

Because she was a CP fan of Shen Li and Song Anyu!

Shen Li had worked with so many male actors, but she still felt Shen Li and Song Anyu were the best match.

"Hua Xixi" and "Chu Yan" in "Destiny as Phoenix" were the "white moonlight" in countless people's hearts. That year, in the Weibo annual costume CP ranking, "Hua Xixi" and "Chu Yan" once topped the list. Although they only got third place in the end, the popularity was evident!

"But this time, it seems you two don't have any romantic scenes..." Xiaoyun felt a bit disappointed after sobering up.

Shen Li couldn't help but laugh: "On-screen couples should be limited; if two people always play couples, it's not a good thing for me or him."

"Teacher Shen Li, the director wants you to go 'walk through the scene'." At this time, a staff member knocked on the door and poked their head in to notify her.

"Alright, I know!"

On the filming set, many people were gathered around, and the staff were making final preparations before filming.

At this time, a man about 1.83 meters tall walked into the set from the entrance. He was dressed in luxury brands from head to toe, with the temperament of a wealthy young master who could be recognized as such at a glance.

The assistant director had sharp eyes and immediately recognized that the other party was the major investor of this film, the young master of the "Muzi Group," Li Haojie. He hurriedly greeted him with a fawning expression: "Oh, Young Master Li is here. Why are you strolling around the set so early today?"

Li Haojie scanned the scene while looking for someone, responding casually: "Isn't today all Shen Li's scenes? I came specifically to watch!"

"That's right, today is all Shen Li's scenes." The assistant director agreed, because when this film was pulling investment from the "Muzi Group," the other party had only one requirement: to personally appoint Shen Li as the female lead.

Just because Li Haojie liked Shen Li!

And after Shen Li received this script and looked at it carefully, she felt the script was excellent, so she accepted it without hesitation.

As a result, in the next second, Li Haojie's brows furrowed instantly, because he discovered that several actresses on the scene were holding a pale purple rose.

Wasn't that what he had specifically sent to Shen Li? ===== CHAPTER 969 =====
