The Older You Get The Shorter You Get
Wang Changyuan nodded. Then, he realized that Fu Zhi could not see it, so he hastily said, "Don't worry, Ms. Fu. We have a strict standard operating procedure and we will not simply give the green light to any movie without a thorough review. Please don't believe anything an idiot says." 0
Mu Chenxi, aka the idiot, was stunned.
'The f*ck?'
Mu Chenxi could not believe what she had just heard. She exchanged a glance with her assistant and said, "What happened to you, Uncle Changyuan? You used to be…"
He used to take care of the Mu Family because of Mu Chenxi and his nephew. He used to be a person who would not back away from a fight, but she could not understand why his attitude had changed entirely now that he was facing Fu Zhi.
Not wanting Mu Chenxi to say anything inappropriate in front of Fu Zhi, Wang Changyuan hastily interrupted her. "Shut up! I used to what? I'm an upright young man and I loathe people who don't follow the rules the most. Ms. Mu, please mind your mouth and don't simply slander me. Otherwise, I will ask my lawyer to send you a warning letter!"
Mu Chenxi was completely stumped. She did not know what she should say anymore. On the other hand, Wang Changyuan felt that she might have some trouble reading the room.
How was there any chance he would stand on the Mu Family's side in front of Fu Zhi? And she had still tried to pull him down? She could have waited until Fu Zhi was gone before she'd started to tell him about her demand, and it went without saying that he would have done everything he could to help them.
Unfortunately, Mu Chenxi could not realize this.
At that moment, Fu Zhi took Mu Chenxi's phone away. She chuckled, and her dangerous voice wafted into Wang Changyuan's ear through the phone. She asked, "Are you aware of the consequences of not following orders?"
Wang Changyuan's face changed slightly. "What, what are you talking about, Ms. Fu? I'm not…"
Fu Zhi let out a soft sigh, ready to hang up the phone.
Wang Changyuan's stomach tightened, and his heart leaped into his throat.
"No, please don't get angry, Ms. Fu. That's not what I meant at all. I will review their movie meticulously. I promise! Please give me another chance! I'll do exactly what the rules state!"
Fu Zhi turned around and looked at Mu Chenxi.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Xiao Bai stepped forward and chimed in, "There are too many unrelated people in this private room, so Ms. Fu would like you to declare your stance now."
It went without saying that Xiao Bai and Guang Yuan were not unrelated people.
Mu Chenxi's expression turned dark when she heard what Xiao Bai had said.
"Who the hell is an unrelated person? Fu Zhi, if you hadn't gone back on your word and terminated the contract with the Mu Corporation all of a sudden, would I be doing this to you? Would I have to come here and listen to your nonsense? This is all your fault!"
Wang Changyuan was closely related to the Mu Corporation and was one of Mu Changqing's best friends as well. Thus, Mu Chenxi was certain that Wang Changyuan would not be too harsh on her or ask her to leave.
After Mu Chenxi finished talking, she turned to her assistant and said, "Go get our bodyguards. I would like to see who will dare lay a single finger on me today!'
At the same time, before the assistant could do anything, Wang Changyuan suddenly got to his feet and smacked his hand hard on the table. It seemed like he could not hold himself back anymore as he snarled loudly, "Shut your d*mn mouth, Mu Chenxi! What the hell are you going to do with your bodyguards, huh? How can you act like a spoiled child when you're the one at fault? What did your father teach you? You're going home! Go home immediately! Otherwise, I'm going to call your father!"
Mu Chenxi was dumbfounded. She had thought Wang Changyuan was on her side, which was why she had dared to go up against Fu Zhi. However, little had she expected that Wang Changyuan would no longer side with her after finding out that Fu Zhi was there. Tears began to well in her eyes as she said, "Uncle, I'm the one who's getting bullied here! How can you not help me?"
Wang Changyuan's voice turned grim as he said, "No one is bullying you here! Besides, who gave you permission to mention my name in front of Ms. Fu? This is Ms. Fu's private room, so of course she can ask you to leave!"
As she was standing stiffly, frozen in place, Mu Chenxi's face was filled with bewilderment.
"You're her assistant, right? Hurry up and take her home. I will call and tell President Mu about the situation myself! Do as I say if you don't want to lose your job!"
Mu Chenxi's assistant was stunned as well when she heard what Wang Changyuan had said. She even began to wonder if Wang Changyuan was possessed by an evil spirit and if she should ask Fu Zhi to play the suona to exorcise the evil spirit or not.
However, her mind was still clear, and she knew what she should say and what she should not say. She took Mu Chenxi's phone away and then dragged her out of the private room.
They could still hear Wang Changyuan bidding Fu Zhi farewell on the phone.
Both Mu Chenxi and her assistant soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
This should have been a serious, tricky matter, but it had ended up being a farce instead.
Xiao Bai wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Fu Zhi. It only then dawned upon him that she was not an ordinary person at all.
Guang Yuan's agent then whispered into Guang Yuan's ear, "Both of them are humans, but they have a different destiny. Did you see that? Wang Changyuan has received so many gifts from the Mu Family, yet he still sided with Fu Zhi in the end…
"By the way, don't you think that Fu Zhi is really pretty? Do you think she will join our little studio?"
"If you were her, would you join our poor little studio?" Guang Yuan asked, stumping his agent.
Although Fu Zhi heard their conversation, she ignored them. She then asked Xiao Bai to lead all of them to the set.
Guang Yuan was notorious for his bad temper, and although Feng Bo had a lot of faith in Fu Zhi, he had not been sure that she would bring him back.
Besides, the situation would be very awkward even if she really brought him back…
While he was immersed in his thoughts, one of his staff members shouted, "Ms. Fu is here! Guys, come and say hi to Ms. Fu!"
Because Fu Zhi was the main investor of the movie, although most of them did not know that she had used Ye Shiyun's money to invest in the movie, all of them treated her as if she was their mother.
Ye Shiyun was sitting in a chair and reading the script. When he raised his head, the first thing he saw was his sister, who was walking in front of the group with an emotionless face.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the man walking behind her. There was no expression on the man's face either, and it seemed to Ye Shiyun that he was not very happy about coming back.
It went without saying that Guang Yuan saw Ye Shiyun as well.
Feng Bo did not want the two of them to start another fight, so he walked up to them and said in a faltering voice, "Erm… Why don't we try rehearsing a scene first?"
Ye Shiyun approached Fu Zhi and ripped the name tag on the left side of Fu Zhi's school uniform. He put the name tag in Fu Zhi's pocket, and after seeing that the two sides had become symmetrical, he sighed. "You should ask your mom to make more papaya milk for you."
He sounded a little sad and disappointed. "I don't know why people are getting taller and taller as they grow, but you are getting shorter and shorter. You look even worse than when you were four years old…"
Fu Zhi felt as if she had been hit by a bolt of lightning.
