Chapter 975: Who Is That Idiot?

Before Li Haojie could react, Shen Li had already left the set quickly under the protection of Song Anyu and Wang Ziyu.

Li Haojie's face sank instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but was grabbed by a friend beside him: "Young Master Li, don't be impulsive."

"Why are you stopping me?" Li Haojie glared at the other party impatiently.

The friend was unusually calm, reminding him in a low voice: "That's Song Anyu, the top of the top tier. You'd better not have a direct conflict with him. Once it gets out, his fans can dig up the 'Muzi Group' from top to bottom, and when that happens, you won't be able to explain it to the chairman."

Everyone in the industry knows how terrifying the power of the fan circle is.

Li Haojie calmed down instantly. "Muzi Group" is capital, and he knew the rules of the entertainment industry better than anyone—the top-tier artists who have truly reached the top possess a right to speak and status in the industry that is far from what ordinary stars can compare to.

Although Shen Li is also popular, compared to a male artist like Song Anyu who is already standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, the gap is still obvious.

"What a pain."

Li Haojie spat out unhappily, turning to look at his friend, "It's never been this difficult before; how come when it comes to Shen Li, it's so hard to ask her out?"

"Young Master Li, you have to stay calm; this has only just begun," the friend persuaded with a fawning smile. "Girls have different personalities; some are just reserved, and it's also possible she's playing hard to get. If it were so easy to get every time, it wouldn't be interesting, would it?"

These words hit the mark, and Li Haojie's face softened immediately: "You're right."

Just then, the director cautiously leaned over, smiling apologetically: "Young Master Li, look, A-Li isn't in a good state today, and the filming progress is lagging behind. This venue... we have to rent it for another day."

"Rent it." Li Haojie waved his hand, very straightforwardly, "It's just one day's rent; as long as Shen Li is happy, anything goes."

The director immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Young Master Li! Thank you, Young Master Li!"

Li Haojie deliberately raised his voice so that everyone on the scene could hear clearly: "I'm telling you all, Shen Li is the biggest in this crew; she is the female lead I personally appointed. Whoever dares to bully her, I, Li Haojie, will be the first not to let them off!"

The friend on the side hurriedly flattered: "Not bad, Young Master Li, you're really something!"

Li Haojie raised his eyebrows proudly, only feeling that his actions were impeccable and cool.

In the distance, an actor looked confused and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Who is that idiot?"

"Don't talk nonsense; that's the young master of the 'Muzi Group,' the investor of our crew."

"Heh, he really is a complete moron."

Early this morning, Shen Ci drove to "Shuiyun Jian."

"Auntie!"

In the Finance Department, as soon as Shen Ci walked in, she saw Zheng Hong sitting at a desk by the window.

Zheng Hong was startled and hurriedly stood up: "A-Ci? Why are you here?"

"I came over for something, and just happened to come see you." Shen Ci walked up and gave Zheng Hong's desk a simple look—neat, clean—before asking: "How is it? Are you used to it?"

"Used to it, everything is especially good, you don't need to worry," Zheng Hong said hurriedly.

Shen Ci nodded gently upon hearing this: "That's fine. Remember to tell me if you have any problems, don't be polite, including matters about Taotao."

Zheng Hong responded repeatedly, looking moved.

The Finance Department was busy, so Shen Ci didn't intend to stay long, but just as she was about to leave, Zheng Hong called out to her: "A-Ci, that..."

Seeing her hesitate, Shen Ci raised her eyebrows, signaling her to just speak her mind.

Zheng Hong hesitated for a moment before saying: "Taotao said his grandmother is coming to Longcheng in a few days..."

"My grandmother?" Shen Ci was stunned: "I didn't hear my mom mention it."

Zheng Hong said: "Your grandmother told Taotao on WeChat. She's coming to see your mom, but the old lady must also miss her grandson, so I want Taotao to meet the old lady."

Shen Ci nodded in understanding. No matter how much of a piece of trash her little uncle was, the old lady had doted on her grandson since he was little.

Zheng Hong doing this could be considered sensible; one thing is one thing.

"But A-Ci, I don't really want to accompany Taotao to go; I feel a bit awkward," Zheng Hong pursed her lips, her voice clearly lower: "I also don't want Taotao to go alone."

Shen Ci understood what Zheng Hong meant: "So, you want me to accompany Taotao?"

Zheng Hong nodded, looking at Shen Ci somewhat nervously, because she herself felt that this matter was making a mountain out of a molehill and was also somewhat troubling Shen Ci.

"If you don't have time, forget it, it doesn't matter, A-Ci, I... I just..."

"It's okay, Auntie, no problem, I'll accompany Taotao." Shen Ci didn't refuse, but agreed to Zheng Hong's request on the spot.

Zheng Hong was slightly stunned, and then her expression relaxed: "Then thank you so much."

"You're welcome," Shen Ci smiled slightly without saying anything else.

Because she could understand Zheng Hong's inner activities; they were some very subtle and small thoughts. Having such sensitive emotions as a single mother wasn't anything shameful, and Shen Ci didn't feel there was anything to it.

And this matter was something she could easily handle; she just needed to call Taotao to her home, and the old lady would naturally be able to see her grandson.

Since it was so easy and could make Zheng Hong feel at ease, she was happy to do it as a small favor.

Leaving the Finance Department, Shen Ci went directly to the Security Department. Originally, her little uncle was arranged by her to be the Security Department manager at "Yunshang Tiangong," but that side was still under renovation and closed, so all the staff of the Security Department were temporarily transferred to "Shuiyun Jian."

In the Security Department office, a group of people were gathered together for a meeting.

"Starting next week, He Bin, you're still on the night shift."

The person in charge of the Security Department held the shift schedule and looked up at He Bin, his face expressionless, but his eyes hidden with obvious targeting.

He Bin frowned upon hearing this, but still asked politely: "Manager Xiao, I've already been on the night shift for two weeks. It doesn't make sense for me to be on the night shift again next week, right?"

Because "Shuiyun Jian" is open twenty-four hours a day, the security staff need to arrange shifts every week to decide the working hours for the next week. In most cases, it's one week of day shift and one week of night shift; everyone is the same.

He Bin had already been on the night shift for two weeks, which was already an abnormal shift arrangement in the Security Department, and now he was being told to be on the night shift for another week. This was clearly intentional.

And at this time, the office was divided into two camps: one was the original security staff of "Shuiyun Jian," and the other was the people from the "Yunshang Tiangong" Security Department who were temporarily transferred here.

But because they were temporarily transferred here and didn't know much about the situation here, for the convenience of management, the management personnel of the Security Department were still the original people from "Shuiyun Jian."

That is to say, although He Bin was the Security Department manager at "Yunshang Tiangong," now he had no power here and had to obey the arrangements of his superiors just like an ordinary employee. ===== CHAPTER 976 =====
