Chapter 79 Returning to the Film Crew
After dealing with Didi and Douyin, Chen Xiu returned to Shanghai.

He is still the same person.

However, the crew members all changed their attitude when they were with him.

For example, Wu Qiang, who rushed to greet him as soon as he learned that he had returned to the film crew, had a smile on his face that was so eager that it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Chen, you're back..."

"Tsk, Lao Wu, can you be a little more natural?"

"Um, I feel like it's very natural."

"But I feel you're being a bit too enthusiastic. It makes it seem like you have ulterior motives towards me."

Chen Xiu got straight to the point, saying that his relationship with Wu Qiang was not deep to begin with, so Wu Qiang's behavior was understandable, but it was too obvious and made people feel very unnatural.

On the contrary, after being exposed to his face, Wu Qiang regained his former feeling and his smile towards Chen Xiu became a little more embarrassed.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm still getting used to it."

"It's normal, just get used to it! If you really can't get used to it, it's okay, anyway, my scenes will be finished in a while."

Chen Xiu patted his shoulder, her attitude exactly the same as before, polite yet distant.

Wu Qiang originally wanted to mention that Chen Mingzhang had taken over his directing duties.

But after hearing Chen Xiu's words, he felt that it didn't matter whether he said it or not, because Chen Xiu didn't care about it at all.

Seeing Wu Qiang's face gradually darken, and considering that he had done some things for her, Chen Xiu suddenly changed the subject.

"Are you free tomorrow night? Big Bear and Little Feng took my luggage back to the hotel. Let's invite them over for a late-night snack tomorrow!"

"Supper?"

"Yeah! Didn't I say before I left that I'd treat you to a late-night snack when I got back? Are you free tomorrow night?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm free!"

Wu Qiang answered with great excitement, and his previously gloomy expression brightened up again.

"Alright, nothing else. I need to go look at the script now; I still have scenes to film today."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, you can go ahead with your work."

After easily dealing with Wu Qiang, Chen Xiu walked straight into the film set.

Along the way, Chen Xiu felt the gazes cast from all directions, all filled with longing and anticipation.

In the cast and crew of "Diamond Lover", Chen Xiu gave everyone the impression of being gentle and polite, treating everyone the same and never getting angry.

This led to the conclusion that he treated most people in the crew similarly, without any distinction between close and distant relationships.

We're all colleagues who work together, but we're the kind of people who would never contact each other after get off work.

Before knowing Chen Xiu's identity, everyone would have thought he was a very nice person; but after learning his identity, they realized that Chen Xiu didn't want to have too much interaction with them.

With this awareness, even if they had some thoughts in their hearts, they couldn't go up and greet them naturally; they could only watch from afar.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Tang Yan.

"Chen Xiu, you're back!"

"Hmm, aren't you filming with Dilraba? Why do you have time to come to the rest area?"

"Dilraba is filming with someone else. I came over to get ready for the scene I'll be filming with you later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu put down the script in her hand and looked at Tang Yan scrutinizingly.

Although this senior's attitude was no different from usual, Chen Xiu still felt a warmth from the aura she exuded.

Moreover, after greeting her, she sat down right next to her, whereas she usually sat further away... Chen Xiuru thought to herself, and then secretly decided that she would need to keep Wei Feng and Xiong Ben close to her from now on.

Tang Yan, trying her best to appear the same as usual, was unaware of Chen Xiu's thoughts.

She now has only one thought: to get as close to Chen Xiu as possible.

Tang Yan once told her agent that she likes mature and stable men and doesn't like younger men. However, when a man suddenly becomes rich, she feels that he looks so mature and stable that age is no longer an issue.

Tang Yan pursed her lips slightly and looked up at Chen Xiu.

"Chen Xiu, do you still remember the fortune teller you did for my marriage last year?"

"I remember, he should appear in about six months."

Is it possible that he has already appeared, but he doesn't know it?

"No, he's about your age, a perfect match. If he appears, he'll definitely pursue you."

Chen Xiu's words directly negated Tang Yan's probing, freezing Tang Yan's smile on her face. She could only reluctantly find an excuse to leave.

Seeing that the other person had returned to normal, Chen Xiu raised an eyebrow and went back to flipping through the script.

Although Tang Yan is very beautiful and has a great figure, her age is a factor... The two are ten years apart. It's fine for them to play lovers while filming, but in real life, Chen Xiu never intended to have anything happen between them.

Compared to the changes in Wu Qiang and Tang Yan's attitudes, Reba's attitude remained largely unchanged.

After filming, the two returned to the hotel and continued their studies and practice as usual.

However, her combat ability remains as poor as ever...

Afterwards, Reba hugged Chen Xiu's arm and said, "Brother Xiu, you won't abandon me in the future, will you?"

"Probably not."

"Huh? Should I?"

When Dilraba, who was pouting and acting cute, heard this ambiguous answer, her eyes widened to the limit.

Her two fair and jade-like arms clung tightly to Chen Xiu's arms, as if afraid he would disappear in a flash.

Sensing the tension in Reba, Chen Xiu chuckled and said, "Maybe one day you won't be able to handle it and you'll just leave on your own?"

"Can't bear it?"

Reba blinked in confusion, then looked down following Chen Xiu's gaze.

When she looked up again, two blushes appeared on her still chubby cheeks.

"I won't run away. Even if I can't hold on, I have to!"

Reba clenched her little fist and said with unusual determination.

As soon as she expressed her determination, her little face fell again, and she started to act pitifully and play the victim.

“Brother Xiu, they’ve completely fallen out with Jiaxing, you can’t abandon me.”

"Have you completely confronted them?"

"Uh-huh."

"The one that came to light yesterday?"

"Hmm~"

The second response lacked confidence.

However, Chen Xiu didn't pay attention to this detail.

"Now that we've laid our cards on the table, let's go down the route of terminating the contract! After the Spring Festival, once this film is finished, I'll also be organizing a group to make a movie, and then I'll help you find some resources."

"Making movies? Brother Xiu, you're going to be a director?"

"I'm not interested. I'll just find a director who can understand me and have him film it according to my ideas."

"How about I play the female lead for you?"

Seeing that Reba's smile resembled that of a little fox, Chen Xiu didn't impulsively agree to her request.

"It depends on your performance."
