Chapter 54 Xu Lang, what exactly did you do to Zheng Shuang?
Xu Lang stood up with satisfaction, holding the two receipts, and looked at the two men who were still gritting their teeth and somewhat unable to recover.
"I won't disturb you any longer, you two continue!"
He gestured for her to enter, then turned and left with a flourish.
Crack!
Close the door!
Whether the two people inside wanted to continue was none of his business; standing outside the door, staring at the two documents, he revealed a smug smile.
Suddenly, he heard arguing coming from inside the house, but it had nothing to do with him, so he started walking away.
Take the elevator to the hotel lobby!
Seeing the anxiety on Dilraba and Qiao Zhenyu's faces, their eyes were looking around anxiously.
"Dilraba, what are you doing?"
Xu Lang called out softly.
Dilraba and Qiao Zhenyu froze and turned to look at him.
"Xu Lang—"
Reba's eyes reddened, and without saying a word, she ran over and hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would disappear.
A soft, warm body suddenly crashed into his arms, trembling slightly. Xu Lang was unaware of what was happening, but the sensation of being embraced was truly wonderful.
While subconsciously patting Reba's back to comfort her, he cast a questioning glance at Qiao Zhenyu.
He wasn't in a hurry to explain; he just watched quietly from the side.
It'll be a while!
Reba finally let go of him, looked him up and down, and asked:
"Xu Lang, how are you? Are you alright?"
Qiao Zhenyu stepped forward and explained, "Reba was frantic when she found out you went to see Zheng Shuang. She said she wanted to face it with you. We went to Zheng Shuang's room, but the cleaning lady said she wasn't there."
Yes, she's definitely not here!
Upon learning the truth, Xu Lang felt a warmth in his heart and reached out to wipe away the tears that clung to the corners of her eyes.
"It's alright, the matter has been resolved!"
Dilraba turned her head away, trying hard to control her tears, calming herself down a little, before turning back:
"Although Zheng Shuang is very famous now, we still have Sister Mi. She will help us, so don't be afraid!"
Xu Lang nodded and affectionately patted her head.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll treat you to a late-night snack!"
Qiao Zhenyu immediately said, "No, Director Liang wants us to do a script reading!"
"Oh, okay, you guys go ahead." Xu Lang waved his hand, urging them to hurry up.
He turned and left.
Reba watched him disappear outside the hotel gate before turning around and leaving with Qiao Zhenyu.
Xu Lang returned to his hotel room, took out a voice recorder from his pocket, and smiled slightly.
Going to the meeting alone? How could he be completely unprepared?
This negotiation was meant to permanently control Zheng Shuang, but unexpectedly, Li Yifeng was given to them as a bonus, which was an unexpected gain.
This guy, although his career later collapsed dramatically, was before that he rose to the top with this drama and had access to a lot of good resources.
If handled properly, this document could bring about significant value in the future through resource sharing or other conveniences.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, looked out the window at the dazzling starry sky, and exhaled thick smoke rings.
The entertainment industry is always like an iceberg. The glamorous facade that floats on the surface is nothing more than a tiny, insignificant part.
Beneath the surface, the unspoken deals, the tacit rules, and the perpetual conflicts—that's the real behemoth.
Of course, if those two were sensible from then on, he would be happy to let that "secret affair" remain forever buried in the darkness.
Enter WeChat and begin your daily routine of maintaining your network of contacts.
Yu Zheng has decided to use the song "Chengdu" and has asked director Zhi Lei, with whom he has collaborated many times, to direct the music video.
In addition, he gave Xu Lang a mobile phone number, saying it was Zhao Lei's contact information, and told him to talk to Zhao Lei first.
First, obtain the individual's consent, purchase the copyright, and ideally, re-record a version.
Xu Lang immediately made a phone call.
The call was answered quickly:
"Hello, who is this?"
Xu Lang calmly said, "Mr. Zhao Lei, hello. I am an actor named Xu Lang. I would like to ask you to film the music video for your song 'Chengdu.' If it's convenient for you, I would like to meet with you."
Zhao Lei remained silent for a while; the news was somewhat sudden for her.
He is currently on tour and is frequently receiving all sorts of phone calls.
He has no objection to things that benefit him, but he doesn't have time to waste if he doesn't know the other party's true identity or strength.
Who gave you my phone number?
"As evidenced!"
"Is the owner of Huanyu Entertainment a testimonial?"
"yes!"
Zhao Lei on the other side trusted him a bit more:
"I've been quite busy these past few days, performing in Yancheng. I'm going to Beijing next week. If you're not in a rush, see you there!"
"Okay, see you next week!"
"Um, let's add each other on WeChat!"
"OK!"
The two quickly added each other on WeChat.
In Yancheng, Zhao Lei stood outside a corridor, wearing jeans and a short-sleeved T-shirt, with a cigarette between his left and right hands.
My phone chimed softly; it was a friend request. I immediately accepted.
I immediately went to the other person's WeChat Moments and saw many stills of them from their dramas, as well as some relatively famous actresses.
She really is an actor!
It's pretty much true.
He turned back to the private room and saw that it was crowded with people. A girl saw him and quickly stood up.
"Lei Zi, are you alright?"
"It might be a good thing, but we'll only know for sure when we get to the capital next week."
……
The next day.
On set!
Xu Lang's appearance instantly attracted countless gazes, both overt and covert. The aftershocks of yesterday's incident were still fresh in everyone's minds, and almost everyone was tacitly waiting to see what would happen next.
Wait and see how the newcomer Xu Lang will be further "educated" by the enraged Zheng Shuang.
However, a morning passed and the film set was calm, even eerily so.
Zheng Shuang stopped causing trouble and instead cooperated very well with the director's filming. When Xu Lang finished filming a scene, Zheng Shuang applauded and praised him generously, which attracted the attention and doubts of many people.
"What's going on? The two of them were at each other's throats yesterday. What's Zheng Shuang up to now?"
"The plot didn't unfold like this; Zheng Shuang's attitude underwent a complete and astonishing reversal!"
"Did Zheng Shuang take the wrong medicine? Is this how she should behave?"
The other actors and staff were completely baffled, including the director and producer, who couldn't understand it at all.
But when I looked at Xu Lang again, I felt a greater sense of respect.
Zheng Shuang's madness and neuroticism are well-known; he even dared to openly bully a new actor.
This kind of person is very difficult to deal with!
What exactly did Xu Lang do? He turned the tide overnight!
After Xu Lang finished filming, Qiao Zhenyu couldn't wait to come over and ask:
"Professor Xu Lang, what's going on?"
Xu Lang glanced at Zheng Shuang, who was maintaining a professional smile towards her, and said:
"What happened?"
Qiao Zhenyu lowered his voice, his face full of disbelief:
"Brother Lang! Teacher Xu! What exactly did you do last night? Did you cast a spell on that lunatic... uh, Zheng Shuang? This attitude is a complete 180-degree turn!"
Xu Lang smiled and saw Yang Chaoyue bringing over milk tea. He quickly went over to her, and Qiao Zhenyu instinctively went to help.
Xu Lang, holding a cup of milk tea, called out to Yang Chaoyue and walked towards Zheng Shuang; along the way, many people's eyes were focused on the two of them.
It seems the excitement everyone's been waiting for is about to happen!
Before Xu Lang even reached Zheng Shuang, she greeted him with a smile and took a few steps forward.
"Teacher Zheng, it's quite hot today, would you like a cup of milk tea?"
Xu Lang handed it over casually.
Zheng Shuang received it with both hands, bowing slightly and nodding, his attitude extremely respectful.
"Thank you, Teacher Xu and Chaoyue!"
This change in attitude...
Many people stared in astonishment, their mouths agape!
Is this still the arrogant Zheng Shuang they know?
Before my mind could even process what was happening, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded—
Zheng Shuang looked at Yang Chaoyue seriously and said with utmost sincerity:
"Sister Chaoyue, what happened yesterday was my fault. I apologize to you. I'm sorry!"
Having said that, he bowed.
Ninety degrees, standard, sincere.
The entire film set was frozen in place, everyone's minds went blank.
What... what kind of magical realism plot is this?
What exactly did Xu Lang do to Zheng Shuang?
