Chapter 969: Then What Do You Like?

"Where did the flowers in their hands come from?" Li Haojie turned his head to look at the assistant director beside him.

The assistant director was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting this Young Master Li to suddenly ask about such a trivial matter. He quickly reacted and replied hurriedly: "Oh, Shen Li gave them out. Just now I saw her assistant distributing them to the girls in the crew one by one; they were handing them out for quite a while."

He even joked and asked if there was one for him, but the other party said they were only for the girls.

Upon hearing this, Li Haojie's face sank instantly.

That bouquet was expensive; he had bought it specifically to please Shen Li, but she had turned around and distributed them to others, clearly not taking what he sent to heart.

"Young Master Li, shall I have someone bring you a chair so you can sit and watch?" The assistant director hurriedly offered to please him.

Li Haojie was full of impatience and waved his hand: "You go do your work; don't worry about me, I'll just stand."

The assistant director sensed his bad mood and didn't dare to say more, nodding sullenly and turning to get busy.

Just then, Shen Li walked into the filming scene accompanied by her assistant, Sister Xiaoyun.

Li Haojie, who had been full of gloom just a moment ago, saw her, and his face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny. Joy bloomed in his eyes, and he walked up quickly to meet her.

"Shen Li!"

Shen Li was looking down at the script. Hearing someone call her name, she looked up subconsciously. As soon as she looked up, she saw Li Haojie already standing in front of her.

He was tall and straight, with a strong aura and an unquestionable sense of oppression; he was clearly someone accustomed to being the center of attention.

Sister Xiaoyun observed the situation from the side, knowing Li Haojie's special status, and didn't dare to rashly step forward to block the middle.

Shen Li naturally understood. The entire play was invested in by the Muzi Group. As the female lead, she only needed to maintain superficial politeness and keep an appropriate distance.

"Young Master Li." She smiled slightly, her tone polite but distant, "You've come to the set too?"

Li Haojie didn't care about her coldness at all; being able to see her was already enough to put him in a good mood: "I heard today is all your scenes, so I came specifically to take a look."

Shen Li nodded gently, unable to find a topic for a moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, she remembered the bouquet and said politely: "By the way, thank you for the flowers you sent. But don't spend money unnecessarily in the future; there isn't even a suitable vase in the crew, and such expensive flowers will wither in a day, which is too wasteful."

"I thought you would like them." Li Haojie looked straight at her, "Don't girls all like flowers?"

Shen Li shook her head gently, her tone frank as she said deliberately: "I don't like them. So I took them apart and distributed them to the other actresses in the crew. Young Master Li shouldn't mind, right?"

"Of course not." Li Haojie still maintained some gentlemanly demeanor, "Once they're sent to you, they're yours; you can handle them however you like."

Changing the subject, he pressed on: "Then what do you like?"

Shen Li frowned slightly, instantly hearing the intention in his words.

Before she could speak, Li Haojie had already guessed for himself: "Bags? Shoes? Or jewelry? Whatever you like, I can send it to you."

Shen Li hurriedly shook her head and refused: "No need, I don't like any of them. Young Master Li, you don't have to send anything."

Li Haojie seemed not to have expected Shen Li to refuse so decisively. He was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, he laughed suddenly. There was obvious disbelief in his expression: "How can it be that you don't like any of them? Don't girls like these things the most?"

Shen Li wasn't the first female celebrity in the entertainment industry he had encountered. The number of female celebrities he had chased, slept with, and even still occasionally made appointments with was countless. Every time he sent these things, they would be very happy.

In his stereotypical cognition, chasing female celebrities should be paved with money and luxury brands; one of them would always work!

Listening to his matter-of-fact words, a sense of disgust rose quietly in Shen Li's heart.

This wasn't the first time she had seen such arrogant rich second-generation heirs. In their eyes, it seemed like all girls could be handled with these means. Money and status were their traps; there would always be girls who took the bait, and the probability wasn't low.

But Shen Li didn't want to make the scene too awkward, so she just made her expression three degrees colder and emphasized again: "I really don't like them, and I won't accept them even if you send them. I hope Young Master Li won't do things that make us both uncomfortable."

Just as Shen Li finished speaking, the director's call came from over there: "A-Li, let's walk through the first scene first."

Shen Li responded and took the opportunity to get away quickly.

Sister Xiaoyun glanced at Li Haojie, and the moment they passed each other, she couldn't help but roll her eyes hard!

What is this thing? Is it amazing to have money?

Fortunately, Li Haojie didn't chase after her to pester her, and he still knew that filming was the most important thing. The venue rental for this film and television base cost a lot of money every day, and all this money was paid by his family.

The scene entered a working state, and all kinds of messy sounds disappeared in an instant.

Shen Li's experience was becoming richer, and her acting skills had also shown more obvious progress.

Li Haojie stood outside the scene and watched Shen Li filming from afar, his face full of interest, and he was truly fascinated.

And just as Shen Li was immersed in filming, the actor she was playing opposite suddenly raised his hand to signal: "Let's stop for a moment."

Shen Li was slightly stunned, looking left and right in confusion before asking: "Teacher Xie, what's wrong?"

The other party was a highly respected senior in the industry, now nearly seventy years old, and someone Shen Li respected from the bottom of her heart.

It wasn't just Shen Li; the entire crew respected this old actor very much.

So when he called to stop, the director's first reaction wasn't dissatisfaction, but running over to ask: "Teacher Xie, do you feel there's a problem somewhere?"

Xie Tiancheng's brows were locked, and he remained silent for a long time before waving his hand with a bad expression: "This scene isn't right; it's not smooth, I can't get into the acting!"

"Uh..." The director choked upon hearing this, looking at Shen Li beside him in confusion. Both of them saw shock in each other's eyes.

Because the script had been polished, and they had gone over the script before filming started. They all knew there was no major problem with the script.

But Xie Tiancheng, who raised the issue, was a veteran actor, and no one dared to question him.

Before the director could even speak, Xie Tiancheng turned and left.

"That... everyone stop for a moment." The director hurriedly controlled the scene, not forgetting to appease Shen Li: "A-Li, you rest first. I guess Teacher Xie is quite strict with the performance, so we'll go over the details with him again. Wait for my news."

Shen Li nodded, assuming it was just Teacher Xie being strict with the performance. They say many veteran actors in the industry have very strange tempers, and it wasn't the first time she had encountered one.

Who would have thought that just as she walked to the side of the scene, Li Haojie would impatiently lean in again, praising Shen Li sincerely: "Shen Li, you acted really well. I was just fascinated watching you, but that old man Xie acted just so-so; his lines were mumbled and not smooth at all." ===== CHAPTER 970 =====
