The Scum Gong’s Redemption Manual (Quick Transmigration) 87

Chapter 87

“Ahem!” The director coughed heavily and glared at Song Xingran, which made him at a loss for a moment, not knowing what he had done to make the director unhappy again.

The director instantly put on a smile and introduced to the surrounding actors, “Let me introduce to you, this is CEO Si of the Si Corporation, and also the investor of this drama. He’s here to see our filming situation.”

Hearing this, the thoughts of the various actors changed, and they all came forward to greet him, either normally or attentively. Si Guiyan let out a faint hum in agreement, but his gaze fell on Lu Ze on the side.

The director’s mind was spinning very fast. Seeing this, he quickly said, “This is Little Song, the male lead in the drama. This is Lu Ze, who plays the big villain in the drama. Today, it’s mainly their scenes.”

Lu Ze’s expression did not change, and he was as gentle and calm as usual. He smiled lightly at him and said, “CEO Si.”

He was polite, but also distant.

It was as if they were just strangers who had just met.

Si Guiyan’s gaze slowly moved away, and he slowly let out a hum in agreement, but the hand hanging by his side was clenched into his palm.

The director keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two, but he wisely didn’t say anything and just said, “CEO Si, the afternoon’s scenes are about to start. Are you going to watch here, or shall I arrange a hotel for you to rest first?”

Si Guiyan looked up at the director and asked, “When will they finish filming?”

He was asking about them, but how could the director not know who he really wanted to ask about? He quickly said, “The male lead still has a night scene tonight. If Lu Ze’s scene is finished, he can go back in two hours if it goes smoothly.”

Si Guiyan nodded slightly and let out a hum, and said, “You don’t have to mind me, director. You can go and do your own thing. I’ll just look around here, and I’ll go back by myself later.”

The director glanced at him, and then at Lu Ze, not understanding what this big boss was up to, and he didn’t dare to say anything more. He immediately smiled and agreed.

The break time was almost over, and the scene from noon continued. Lu Ze and Song Xingran were immersed in the scene, and Si Guiyan stood on the side, watching the young man in a red robe, smiling freely and romantically, while the little boy opposite him had a rosy face and a shy and embarrassed look. Before the scene was over, he turned and left.

During the break, Lu Ze glanced to the side and, not seeing Si Guiyan’s figure, he silently withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the script.

777 asked him in his mind, “Host, the mission target seems to be angry. Aren’t you going to coax him?”

“There’s no hurry,” Lu Ze said. “Give him some time to think it through.”

777 was half-understanding.

Perhaps because they had gotten to know each other at noon, Song Xingran did not get stuck this time, and it was very smooth. After two or three more shots, this scene was finally over, and it had only been a little over an hour.

The director said in a loud voice, “Good! This scene is over! The props team, get ready for the next scene!”

Lu Ze glanced at the time and told the director that he would go back first since he didn’t have a scene at night, and he would rest first. The director glanced at him and nodded, and then said considerately, “You don’t have a scene tomorrow morning either. Have a good rest. There’s no hurry.”

Lu Ze was not worried about whether he knew something. He smiled, and after taking off his makeup and changing his clothes, he got into the nanny car and went back to the hotel.

The crew had booked a single room, and Lu Ze took the room card. As soon as the door was opened a crack, he felt that something was wrong.

A faint smell of smoke came through the crack and entered his nose.

Lu Ze was in a daze for a moment.

He pushed open the door and saw that the evening sun was shining in through the window. Si Guiyan was sitting on the sofa in the center of the hotel, and the cigar in his hand was shining with a scarlet light. His tall and slender figure was half in the halo of the setting sun and half shrouded in the silent darkness. The room was silent, and you could almost hear the subtle sound of the tobacco burning.

Lu Ze took a step forward and walked into the room. He inserted the room card, and the room was instantly lit up. Si Guiyan looked back, his expression uncertain.

But Lu Ze was completely unaware. The smile on his face was as warm and harmless as usual in front of him. He said, “Why are you here, Brother Yan? You didn’t even tell me in advance.”

Si Guiyan flicked the ash from his hand, and his eyelids moved slightly. Because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse. “If I had told you in advance, I wouldn’t have been able to see you chatting so happily with others in the crew, would I?”

Lu Ze’s brows furrowed, and he took two steps forward. “What are you talking about, Brother Yan?”

Si Guiyan brought the cigar to his lips, took a deep puff, and looked up at him. “Do you like that type?”

Lu Ze was stunned for a moment. “Who are you talking about, Brother Yan?”

Si Guiyan curled his lips. “The male lead in your crew, what’s his name? He’s young, good-looking, and has a lively personality.”

Lu Ze stood a person’s distance away from him, his eyelids lowered slightly, and he looked at him without speaking.

Si Guiyan crossed one leg, leaned back lazily on the sofa, and looked at him lazily. “You like him very much, right? You’re of similar age, and you have common topics. It’s indeed rare.”

Lu Ze looked at him for a moment, then shook his head. “I don’t like him.” He said, “We’re just ordinary colleagues. We just got to know each other today, and we can barely be considered friends.”

“You don’t like him?” Si Guiyan smiled. “You were so happy in front of him?”

Lu Ze was silent for a long time before he looked at him steadily and said, “What if I like him? What if I don’t like him? Is it very important to you, Brother Yan?”

Si Guiyan’s hand holding the cigar tightened. He looked at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled. “Lu Ze, you are my person. The terms and conditions of the contract, do I need to remind you again?”

“No need,” Lu Ze said. “I remember it very clearly.”

His eyelashes lowered slightly. “I’ve also said that I will abide by my responsibility as a lover. Please also believe in my professional ethics, Brother Yan.”

“Today was my first scene with Song Xingran, and it was also our first formal interaction. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask the crew members who were present.”

Lu Ze’s expression was calm, and his reasoning was clear. Si Guiyan looked at him, and for some reason, the anger in his heart slowly dissipated by more than half.

He rubbed his temples, not knowing why he had come here to chase after him, and how it had turned out like this. He said in a low voice, “That’s not what I meant.”

“Then what do you mean, Brother Yan?” Lu Ze’s eyelashes lowered slightly. “You came all the way here just to emphasize the contract with me?”

“If that’s the case, then you can rest assured, Brother Yan. Before the contract expires, I will not have any ambiguous relationship with anyone.”

Hearing this, Si Guiyan’s fingertips trembled, and he subconsciously asked, “Then what about after the contract expires?”

Lu Ze looked up at him and said calmly, “After the contract expires, that’s a matter for later. As for what happens in the future, who can say for sure?”

Si Guiyan pursed his lips and didn’t speak for a long time.

The cigar in his hand was slowly burning, and it soon reached the end.

Si Guiyan seemed to have calmed down and slowly opened his mouth. “For example, in the future, what are your plans for your career? What kind of height will you stand at, and… have you ever thought about what kind of person you will spend the rest of your life with? You should have a plan, right?”

Lu Ze’s expression paused. He looked at Si Guiyan quietly and, instead of answering, he asked back, “Why did you suddenly think of asking this question, Brother Yan?”

Si Guiyan paused, then said, “Didn’t you say you don’t like that male lead? Just take it as I’m curious about what kind of person you like.”

Lu Ze looked at him seriously and said, word by word, “Probably… someone who is a little taller and a little older than me.”

Si Guiyan’s heart trembled, but on the surface, he forced himself to be calm and said, “What about more specifically?”

But Lu Ze smiled and said, “If I’m specific, I’m afraid you’ll be unhappy, Brother Yan.”

Si Guiyan seemed to have vaguely realized something, and his heart was pounding like thunder. “Tell me, I won’t be unhappy.”

Lu Ze’s eyelashes moved slightly, and he looked at him and said, “Then you should answer a question for me first, Brother Yan.”

Si Guiyan leaned back, looked up at him, and his Adam’s apple unconsciously moved. “You ask.”

Lu Ze said, “Why did you come all the way here, Brother Yan?”

Si Guiyan’s fingers moved slightly, and he looked at him without speaking.

Lu Ze waited for a long time but did not get a reply. He lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Si Guiyan said, “I came to give you something.”

Lu Ze: “What is it?”

Si Guiyan took out a stack of documents from the briefcase on the side, placed it on the table, and then slowly pushed it towards Lu Ze.

Lu Ze looked down, his expression surprised. It was exactly the contract they had signed at that time.

He pursed his lips and looked up at Si Guiyan. “What do you mean by this, Brother Yan?”

“I mean,” Si Guiyan pressed the cigar out in the ashtray, raised his hand and took the stack of documents, and then, from the middle, he tore it in half.

He said, “From now on, this contract is officially void.”

Lu Ze’s pupils constricted, and his throat was a little dry. He said, “Are you not wanting me anymore, Brother Yan?”

Si Guiyan looked at him seriously and shook his head. “No.”

He said, “I was just thinking that maybe we can get along in a different way.”

Lu Ze licked his lips. “What way?”

Si Guiyan had been through all kinds of situations and had negotiated many big contracts, but he had never been as nervous as he was now. He took a deep breath and looked at Lu Ze. “Before that, you should tell me first, why are you angry with me?”

Lu Ze’s eyelashes trembled. “When have I been angry with you?”

Si Guiyan said, “If you’re not angry with me, why haven’t you called me once since you joined the crew? Little kid, you don’t lie like that.”

“You can’t say?”

Lu Ze’s lips were tightly pressed. He met Si Guiyan’s gaze, and after a long time, he slowly said, “The reason why you were angry just now is the same reason why I’m angry.”

Si Guiyan’s heart moved fiercely. His Adam’s apple rolled up and down for a moment, and he opened his mouth. “Didn’t you ask me last time if I was jealous?”

Lu Ze’s eyes blinked.

Si Guiyan said, “I’m telling you now. I don’t like the way Qiao Mingyuan looks at you, and I don’t like their attentive appearance. Including today, I also don’t like that person circling around you.”

He admitted, “Yes, I am jealous.”

Lu Ze blinked in a daze, and after a moment, he said in a low voice, “That’s not what you said last time, Brother Yan.”

Si Guiyan’s face was expressionless, and his heart was not beating. “Last time was last time. Who said you can’t regret what happened before?”

His body moved slightly forward, and he slowly reached out and held his hand. “Just think of it as… I’m so much older than you, and it’s my first time meeting someone I like, so I have no experience.”

He looked up at him. “I’m stubborn. It’s my fault. Don’t hold it against me.”

Lu Ze’s eyes were filled with surprise, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a hint of joy hidden in his eyes. He pursed his lips and asked with some hesitation, “Is what you’re saying, Brother Yan, what I think it is?”

Si Guiyan’s breathing paused slightly, and his Adam’s apple moved. “What do you think it is?”

Lu Ze looked at him steadily for a long time, but he said, “If you’re specific… I like people who are eleven years older than me.”
