Chapter 123: Looking at legs while driving will get you fined!

~7 min read 1,292 words

Looking at legs while driving will get you fined!

Jiang Cheng guessed that his earlier bragging had taken effect, so now his arm was already around the Yujie, and she didn't resist.

Maybe women all like bragging?

So beautiful women are all deceived by scumbags?

So Jiang Cheng seized the moment, puckered his lips and leaned in to kiss.

He had already imagined the feeling of his lips pressing against her face in the next second.

Pff!

But just as he was about to touch her cheek, a hand floated over, pressed his face, and shoved him onto the sofa.

Su Manyao stood up, without turning back, and said, "Sleep."

Then she walked toward the bedroom.

……

The next day, Jiang Cheng first got up and went to school to attend class.

Business needs to be handled, but studies can't be neglected, although for him it doesn't matter whether he studies or not.

The other three people in the dormitory, as expected, didn't show up, so Jiang Cheng didn't run into them; otherwise, who knows, they might envy him for now being able to live off-campus.

But Jiang Cheng thought, if Su Peng found out that he was living with his sister, what would his reaction be—would he chase after him with a cleaver?

Just thinking about it made Jiang Cheng shiver; it's not possible, he can't say it yet.

It's not that he's afraid of his brother, but he doesn't want his brother to be in a bad mood!

Being a brother means doing good for your brother!

Quietly being good to his sister behind the scenes is the same!

In the evening, at the time Jiang Cheng and Wang Weiqiang had agreed upon, Su Manyao really came back, wanting to go with Jiang Cheng!

"Wait a moment, I'll take a shower, okay?" Su Manyao said as soon as she got home, seeing that Jiang Cheng had already packed and was ready to leave, she put her bag on the cabinet.

Jiang Cheng was somewhat surprised.

He had thought yesterday that Su Manyao was just joking.

After all, last night the Yujie had turned hostile again, refusing to let him kiss!

Having turned hostile, that definitely meant the things said earlier didn't count.

Just like many couples, at crucial moments at night they swear vows like "I love you!" "I'll love you only in this lifetime!"

But after breaking up, breaking up is just turning hostile, and once hostile, none of those vows count.

But the Yujie actually took it seriously, really wanting to go with him to the film set!

Jiang Cheng said, "Okay."

The Yujie is naturally beautiful; after showering she also put on light makeup, taking just over half an hour total.

When she came out, she wore a simple ladylike dress; the hem revealed her snow-white calves, her feet paired with transparent low-heeled heels, red nail polish and the plain dress creating a contrasting accent.

Let's go.

Su Manyao swapped to a smaller bag, stood in front of Jiang Cheng, and said.

Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa, gave the Yujie a thorough look, stood up, and said, "Let's go!"

Although she was already his girlfriend, every time he saw the Yujie even slightly dressed up, Jiang Cheng felt an unreal sensation.

It's not that he doesn't believe the Yujie is his girlfriend, but that his girlfriend's beauty is unreal!

……

Wang Weiqiang's film shoot was nearing its end; today's scene was close to the finale, with the female lead kidnapped and locked in a dilapidated building, and the male lead going to rescue her.

So the shooting location chosen was also a dilapidated building.

However, at this moment the dilapidated building's surroundings were brightly lit, gathering a crowd of crew members, investors and their families, all together having a barbecue.

This was also Wang Weiqiang's idea; after obtaining permission to use the dilapidated building, he felt that setting up all those light racks and such would be a waste if not used.

Thus he moved the dinner that was originally meant to be held at a hotel straight here!

They were mostly advertising and distribution company reps responsible for liaising with the film side.

So although these people aren't big shots, as a director it's still necessary to maintain good relations with them—this is part of networking in the industry! "Old Wang, isn't it a bit inappropriate to call Jiang Cheng tonight?"

The screenwriter Zheng Ling, sitting beside Wang Weiqiang, said.

The director replied, "What could be inappropriate?"

Zheng Ling said, "We had agreed tonight that a few investors would come, and we'd only bring the scripts of Shi Jun and Qian Dong for them to review; now you've summoned Jiang Cheng—what if the investors like his script, how will you explain it to those two?"

The director glared and said, "How can I not explain to them? Investors judge scripts by quality—if theirs are truly good and others want to invest, would they fear a student competing with them?"

The screenwriter pursed his lips, thinking that wasn't necessarily so.

He had read Jiang Cheng's script and could tell that he couldn't write something like that—it's better than his own!

He hadn't read the other two's scripts, but he was ninety percent confident.

Those two's scripts definitely can't match Jiang Cheng's!

You don't even need to look to know!

If he were an investor and had to pick one, he'd definitely choose Jiang Cheng's!

And tonight's situation is that Wang Weiqiang hosted a barbecue, inviting several investors to come and discuss investment intentions for the next film.

!

At the same time, Wang Weiqiang, owing minor favors to two companies from his previous film, took this opportunity to invite those two companies to bring their scripts.

This repaid the favor.

As for whether the investors take a liking, that's beyond his control.

If suitable, and the investors take a liking, his next film will be a collaboration with them.

Originally only two families were invited, but now another one, Jiang Cheng, has been added.

……

On Jiang Cheng's side, he was driving Su Manyao's car, with Su Manyao already having set out.

While in the car, Su Manyao was sending messages on her phone.

Suddenly, she said without looking up: "Drive properly; looking at legs while driving will get you fined."

"You know this too?" Jiang Cheng turned his head, looking ahead, and said: "You're not looking at your phone, so how do you know I'm looking?"

Su Manyao didn't answer; instead, she lifted her head and gave Jiang Cheng an annoyed look.

Then she continued sending messages.

Actually, she was contacting her assistant.

The place she and Jiang Cheng are going to is Wang Weiqiang's film set.

And Wang Weiqiang is an employee of her company.

Although many people in the company don't know Su Manyao, a director of Wang Weiqiang's level certainly knows her!

So Su Manyao wants to know in advance who is on the film crew there today.

Furthermore, she has already had her assistant arrange that anyone on the film crew there who knows her must pretend not to know her.

Regarding this, the assistant was not surprised.

Because Su Manyao rarely appears in public, only a few people in the circle who see her can recognize her as the aloof boss.

This is also the result of Su Manyao intentionally keeping a low profile all along.

Anyway, she is not a star and doesn't need to endorse her own company, so she doesn't want to get involved in any circle's gossip.

After about half an hour more, Jiang Cheng drove Su Manyao to the outside of the unfinished building where Wang Weiqiang and his crew were filming.
