[Gao Can: @Xie Cheng, who are you threatening with that forty-meter long sword? Can it float across the ocean to chop me? Come at me!]
[Xie Cheng: Just shut it! When the hell are you coming back with Boss Si Yao? We especially need you two here to preside over justice.]
[Gao Can: Let me tell you, stop trying to feed me Soul-Enchanting Soup, making me heady, as if I don’t know you’re preparing to set a trap for me.]
[Qi Feng: Wow~~ Gao, you’ve exposed the plot that traveled across the ocean.]
[Gao Can: Of course, I have. Not to brag, but there’s no scene I haven’t seen.]
[Si Yao: Gao Can, you must be really bored!]
Suddenly, the chat quieted down like quails, and everyone went offline...
That’s what Bo Yan saw on his phone screen, sitting on the sofa, with a cold smirk on his lips. Although it was a bit late, he still sent out a message in the group chat.
[Bo Yan: If you have any problems with me, say them to my face...]
The message was like a stone sinking into the sea.
After another hectic month passed, Yuran was still busy. Busy with exams, busy with signing contracts, busy with the workflow of her studio. Ran Studio, pushed forward by Qi Younian, was now on the right track, though not officially in business yet.
Bo Yan was also busy this month. The big movie he had shot in the United States seemed to need some re-filming, and he was gone for a whole month.
After coming back, he was occupied with the celebration party for "Hero".
"Hero" had its release extended by a month, coinciding with the day Yuran finished her exams.
"Hero" ultimately raked in a box office revenue of 5.553 billion, its success painting a red streak all the way to being the third highest-grossing film of the year. Of course, the first place was also a Bo Yan film, a New Year’s blockbuster.
A man standing atop the altar of gods, such box office figures, are to be expected, right?
Even if Bo Yan didn’t want to attend the celebration party, he showed up to make an appearance. The directors and investors he worked with all knew well that Bo Yan never liked these formalities.
The investors for "Hero" consisted of three parties, two of which had invested in Bo Yan’s films more than once. However, there was one that was a new addition.
This caused the celebration party to become somewhat awkward.
As soon as he opened the door, Bo Yan noticed the unusual atmosphere in the private room. Xie Cheng, following behind him, also frowned slightly at the sight.
The director, beaming, pushed away the enchanting woman clinging to him and walked towards Bo Yan, "Bo Yan, you’re here. Let’s celebrate the huge success of ’Hero’."
Xie Cheng stepped in front of Bo Yan, shaking hands with the director while subconsciously blocking his hand, which had just been on another woman, from reaching Bo Yan.
Bo Yan was notorious for his obsession with cleanliness.
The director, oblivious to this, enthusiastically shook hands with Xie Cheng, "Everyone’s been waiting for you guys for a while now. Bo Yan, you. . ."
Bo Yan frowned, obviously displeased, and instinctively took a step back, "Director, what is this all about?"
The director, suddenly realizing what Bo Yan was alluding to, snapped alert and sobered up considerably from the alcohol he’d drunk before. The large round table seated twenty people, and there were only four seats remaining unoccupied.
Aside from the seats for Bo Yan and Xie Cheng, there were also seats for girls prepared for the two of them.
The director was caught off guard, looking embarrassed, "Bo Yan, look, we’re having a good time here. Why don’t you put aside that strictness of yours for once and just enjoy the moment."
Apart from Bo Yan, the rest of the main cast were fairly well-known artists from various companies. Although a very few of them also disliked such events, they didn’t show any signs of non-cooperation.
