Then, Sister Shao’s incessant heckling disappeared. Everything turned void and the whole world was quiet.

Looking at it leisurely, the corners of Zhou Jianchen’s mouth curled up.

This is the first time she sent a message to himself.

Seeing that he actually had the audacity to smile, Sister Shou flared up even more, “Zhou Jianchen! Are you listening to me or not!”

“Wasn’t you the one who complained that I don’t make appearances and lost my face getting dissed by that Yu Qiao? As a matter of fact, I just slapped his face for you.” Zhou Jianchen finally responded. Putting away his cellphone, he propped himself up and spoke unhurriedly while all the irritation and impatience he felt just now completely dissipated.

On Weibo a moment ago, the topic ‘The meeting of Yu Qiao’s fans at the airport was tragically crushed by Zhou Jianshen’ was being debated hotly.

Sister Shao was instantly lost for words hearing this.

Zhou Jianchen didn’t give her a chance to continue and changed the subject, “Tell me about Xu Lili, what’s her situation now?”

His return to China this time was just to know what happened to Xu Lili.

Sister Shao naturally didn’t believe his remarks. How such a proud and arrogant person like Zhou Jianchen could put a little starlet who just rose from the 18th line in his eyes, but she did not ask any more. She just glanced at the cellphone in his hand and replied, “Xu Lili is still missing and the people around her had been questioned yet no one knew where she was, and nobody knows why she posted this. But her assistant said she really likes you and has seen all your works. There are also many photos of yours saved on her phone … “Saying that, she gave him a cold look.

She is someone who knows when to stop. Since Zhou Jianchen didn’t want to continue, she no longer mentioned it again although there were doubts in her mind. Even though such a big commotion had spread like wildfire this time, it actually did not bring about any bad impact. The reason she made a big deal about it was because she was angry at him for being heedless and this time he even ignored his own safety — showing up at the airport alone and taking a taxi back. What’s to be done if something happens?

Hearing her answer, Zhou Jianchen actually snorted.

Sister Shao then spoke again, “We do not know now what exactly she wanted to do. Her cellphone is turned off and uncontactable through her Weibo. Her whole person just vanishes from the face of the earth. Now we are afraid that she still has something in hand that will affect you or the company … “As she said that, she looked meaningfully at Zhou Jianchen.

Zhou Jianchen felt absurd, “What else can she have? She took this photo secretly.”

Suspecting him for having any involvement with Xu Lili? How could that be possible!

“That’s good.” She was really afraid that something had happened between him and Xu Lili. He was used to taking rash action arbitrarily, never giving prior notice to what he did and it was also not impossible for him to secretly date someone then hide it from her.

Knowing that it would be useless to say more, she then said, “No matter what, just keep a low profile for now and don’t create any more troubles. Since Xu Lili doesn’t show up, we will play it cool for the time being. If she has the ability, don’t ever show up again. People will forget after a long while since this is the nature of the entertainment industry.”

No one knew the purpose of Xu Lili’s Weibo post but no matter what, it was no different than digging her own grave. It’s not easy to implicate Zhou Jianchen. As a contracted artist with StarLight Media, Xu Lili can either find another way out besides compensating a huge amount for breaching the contract or ending up being left in the cold.

Both Zhou Jianchen and Sister Shao understood this point, and perhaps Xu Lili also knew about this very well. Thus, this was also the reason why Sister Shao adopted a conservative attitude at the beginning in dealing with this. Was it for something to rely on, how could Xu Lili court death this way.

“Got it.” Zhou Jianchen naturally agreed since these were all mediocre matters.

" "

Zhou Jianchen didn’t want to stay any more since everything had been resolved, so he got up to leave.

“By the way, your elder brother is in the company. Do you want to see him?” Sister Shao suddenly mentioned behind his back.

Zhou Jianchen halted his steps, and replied very quickly, “No.” After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

The relationship between his elder brother and him has never been very good. It is simply that a king will not see another king in the company.

As for the other matters, he doesn’t need to bother since there are appointed people to handle them.

Once he walked out of the door, Cui Mingxian and Ah Zhao just happened to come back. 

“Brother Chen.” Ah Xian quickly trotted over to report the situation, “Film Empress Liang has been sent home. Before that, Sister Shao called me several times when she couldn’t find you but I didn’t answer … “

Brother Chen didn’t say anything about the matter of Film Empress Liang so he dared not pick up the calls. He also didn’t know exactly how to answer if Sister Shao asked why Brother Chen didn’t travel back in their car but took the taxi instead, thus he simply ignored Sister Shao’s calls.

Although Sister Shao is fierce, Brother Chen is his boss after all.

Without doubt, he would inevitably suffer the scolding of Sister Shao afterwards.

Zhou Jianchen nodded and he naturally didn’t want this matter to be known by Sister Shao too.

“Send me back.” He turned his head to brief Ah Xian and then spoke to Ah Zhao, “Ah Zhao, you go back too. I will give you two days off since you are also tired.” After saying that, he went straight to the parking lot.

Ah Xian quickly followed.

Behind him, Ah Zhao was especially grateful, “Thank you, Brother Chen.”

Zhou Jianchen slumped into the seat once he got into the car. A spacious SUV is always more comfortable than a cramped taxi.

There was just a gush of sweet scent at the tip of his nose that seemed undetectable.

Taking out his cellphone, he swiped the screen and it was still the interface of the text message. 

After swiping around several times, there was no more movement.

Looking at him through the rearview mirror, Ah Xian started the car then pondered about it and still spoke, “I didn’t expect Miss Liang to reside in Jiayuan of Anping District. Boss, is it quite costly?”

Ah Zhao called him ‘Brother Chen’ but since Ah Xian is older than Zhou Jianchen, he has always called him ‘Boss’. In fact, he had long known the inside story. 

“Hmm.” Zhou Jianchen thought about it and responded haphazardly but the approximate location of Liang Yin’s whereabouts came to his mind.

That is an apartment adjacent to the campus where every inch of land is gold.

Ah Xian watched his reaction and knew he heard, so he spoke again, “Miss Liang even said she wanted to thank you. I told her to thank you herself if she wanted to and gave her your business card … “

He spoke as if so naturally that Zhou Jianchen responded haphazardly again, seemingly this was really not important.

After Ah Xian had finished what he wanted to say, he focused on his driving with a hint of smile instinctively appearing at the corners of his mouth.

As a matter of fact, he was quite surprised to see Ah Zhao bringing Liang Yin over today but after Ah Zhao told him, he understood too.

He has been with Zhou Jianchen for almost ten years and had witnessed with his own eyes how much he liked Liang Yin that year. He was the one who drove along with him whenever he went to visit the movie set. His pretense to visit the director was in fact all for her. Even if they basically didn’t chat whenever he was there, he nevertheless would still sit there and watch.

Although this was already in the past and no one mentioned it any more, there are some who still remember. Not only him but also the boss himself. Has one ever seen the boss looking for any girlfriends these recent years? Oh, there was one, whose discerning eyes would realize that the actress merely looks very much like Liang Yin.

How long did they date before splitting up? A month? It eventually didn’t last more than 3 months.

He would reckon that the boss probably doesn’t remember the actress’ name at all. But the boss had obviously given her some resources and now the actress is very famous. Since she is also a discreet person, probably no one knew the two of them had ever dated before.

Though the boss looks aloof, he actually is very much devoted. He (Ah Xian) hopes he can quickly find someone. He is a father of two now yet the boss is still alone.

And it seems the boss still has old feelings for Film Empress Liang.

While Cui Mingxian was pondering, the corners of his mouth smiled more deeply as he drove the car steadily into the traffic.

At the back of the car, Zhou Jianchen looked at the text message for a long time before he finally typed a reply of only three brief words.

— “You are welcome.”

He then cast the cellphone aside and looked completely unconcerned.
 

The author had something to say:

Film Emperor Zhou: You think I will reply or acknowledge you immediately when you send me a text message? Ah, I will send you these 3 words, You are welcome!
