236 Taking Leave
Yu Han didn’t know about Ji Jun’s dilemma. The World Hacker Competition’s final day was coming soon, and it would be around four in the afternoon. It would clash with her filming schedule again.
He Meng had been watching her film for the past few days, so Yu Han could only give up on sneaking around. However, she had to participate in the finals, so she could only make use of her identity as a “producer” to secretly look for Bai Chao a day in advance, hoping that he would give her a break.
Bai Chao glanced at He Meng, who was on the phone not far away, and asked her worriedly, “Don’t tell me you secretly went to find a boyfriend behind your manager’s back.”
Yu Han was speechless. She glanced sideways at him. “Which man in the world do you think is worthy of me doing this?”
Just as she was about to pat Bai Chao on the shoulder and tell him not to think so much, Yu Han suddenly remembered that there was really such a man who was worthy of her doing this. For example, the boss of the “Beast” team who was a rich second-generation heir. He was stupid and rich. He offered a high price to reward her.
When Yu Han thought of the bounty, she could not help but smile. Bai Chao, who had been observing her expression, did not believe her. Instead, he panicked and said earnestly, “Little Yu, you’re only 18 years old. You’re still young and have a bright future. Don’t casually step into another man’s trap.”
Bai Chao said this because he was indeed concerned about Yu Han. After all, when he was at his wit’s end, it was Yu Han who pulled in the investment, allowing him not only to continue filming this movie, but also upscaled. The production team had been upgraded. Therefore, although he did not say it out loud, he was still very grateful to Yu Han.
Secondly, some actresses in the industry had fallen in love and destroyed their careers for love. It would be fine if such people lived a good life in the future, but as far as Bai Chao could see, there were very few who could really marry well. Most of them were covered in wounds and lost their careers and love. In the end, they had nothing.
As a director, Bai Chao was really optimistic about Yu Han’s future development. As the saying goes, he loved talent, so he really didn’t want to see Yu Han become such a romantic and ruin her future.
Thirdly, perhaps Yu Han herself did not know, but as a bystander, he clearly saw the difference in Ji Jun’s treatment of Yu Han. It was definitely not the “care between elders” that Yu Han mentioned.
Although as a director, he was very afraid of Ji Jun, their sugar daddy, this was just some small friction in the business exchange. However, if Yu Han secretly ran away with someone else in his production team, wouldn’t Ji Jun skin him alive if he knew?
Hence, whether it was for Yu Han’s future or for his own life, Bai Chao felt that it was his duty to bring Yu Han back on track.
Yu Han couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she saw him prattling on about the disadvantages of an actress dating someone. “Old Bai, is this why you’ve been single for 40 to 50 years?”
Bai Chao’s voice stopped abruptly. He looked at Yu Han with an ugly expression and gritted his teeth. “I’m only 29 years old this year, and I have a wife!”
This time, it was Yu Han’s turn to be surprised. She pointed at the pile of whiskers on his face and said, “You’re only 29!”
Bai Chao touched his beard. “Is there a problem? I’m just a little bit more mature.”
Yu Han: … I think your “little bit” is more like “100 million bits”. His beard was messy, and his face was wrinkled when he smiled. Who would believe that he was 29 years old?
The point was, “You actually have a wife?”
Bai Chao puffed out his chest proudly. “So what if I have a wife? Although I’m a third-rate director now, I was a talent in the Film Academy back then.” Otherwise, how could I have been accepted as his disciple by my master?
Yu Han glanced at his “old and mature” face. With his sloppy appearance, he really looked like a middle-aged single dog who lacked love.
Of course, since she had already broken the director’s heart once, Yu Han could only say tactfully, “You have joined the production team for almost a month, but I’ve never seen you mention anything about your family or your wife. Furthermore, you didn’t even call them.”
Bai Chao, who had quarreled with his wife because he was filming this movie and was blocked by his wife: Does he not want to call? He clearly can’t call.
When Yu Han saw his frozen expression, she guessed that something must have happened between the husband and wife.
