Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

After helping Duan Jiabao solve Luo Yan's problem, Lin Bufan looked at the time and found that it was almost time for lunch. Obviously, this time was not suitable for filming.

So, Lin Bufan and Sang Biao decisively ran to the lounge and started playing games!

what? !

You said you don’t have time to work but have time to play games?

Yup!

Isn't this normal?

When can't you work? If you don't play games now, you'll have less time to play for a while!

……

At lunchtime, Lin Bufan strolled over to the director's monitor, lunch box in hand. Li Chao was staring at the footage he'd shot that morning, scratching his head. A few more strands of his already thin hair had fallen out.

"Brother Chao, it's time to eat." Lin Bufan put the lunch box in front of Li Chao and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Li Chao didn't even look up: "Leave it there. I'll finish watching this part first."

Lin Bufan sat down on the director's chair and crossed his legs: "Brother Chao, I want to discuss something with you."

"Speak." Li Chao picked up the lunch box while staring at the monitor.

"Give Sang Biao a role." Lin Bufan took a bite of his rice. "He doesn't need too many scenes in the first part. Just lay the groundwork first, and then give him an important role in the second part."

"What the hell?! Adding people now, bah, adding dogs? The filming is more than half done, big brother!" Li Chao turned his head abruptly and sprayed the rice grains in his mouth directly at Lin Bufan.

Of course, with Lin Bufan's reaction ability, he easily dodged it: "Brother Chao, don't get excited. It's just a minor supporting role. It won't affect the main plot."

"It doesn't matter!" Li Chao slammed his lunch box on the table. "Master Lin! Can I call you Master? Do you know how much it costs to reshoot a scene? Costumes, props, locations, extras, which one of them doesn't cost money?"

Lin Bufan shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I'm not short of money anyway!"

Li Chao burst into tears upon hearing Lin Bufan's words. Damn! I forgot this was a wealthy man!

After a pause, Li Chao found a new angle to persuade: "No, no, even if you have money, you can't do this!"

Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Li Chao counted on his fingers, "First, the script needs to be revised, the screenwriter needs to rewrite it, and it needs to be reviewed and filed again; second, the costumes and props need to be redesigned, and Sang Biao's costumes, styling, and special effects all need to be rearranged; third, the actors' schedules need to be re-coordinated, especially those who have scenes opposite Sang Biao, who need to be rescheduled; fourth, if there are any logical conflicts in the shots that have already been filmed, they will have to be re-shot or deleted..."

Li Chaoyue became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally stood up, put his hands on the table, and stared at Lin Bufan: "Brother Lin! Do you know what this means? This means our filming period will be extended by at least a month!"

After listening to this, Lin Bufan calmly drank a sip of water, then said with a smile: "Brother Chao, don't get excited, just extend it, I have enough money anyway."

Money! Money! Money! That’s all you think about. You can’t live without money, right?

Li Chao took a deep breath and changed his perspective again: "Brother Lin, this isn't about money! This is art! It's a movie! It's our hard work! We can't change it so casually!"

After listening to Li Chao's words, Lin Bufan nodded thoughtfully: "Brother Chao, you are right."

Li Chao's eyes lit up, thinking he had finally convinced Lin Bufan. A pleased smile appeared on his face: "That's right! We still need to be professional when making movies..."

Before Li Chao could finish, Lin Bufan suddenly turned around and shrugged at Sang Biao who was squatting beside him: "You bastard, it's not me who disagrees, it's Director Li who disagrees. You can't blame me."

Sang Biao's eyes narrowed into slits, and he slowly stood up and walked towards Li Chao with a ruthless gait. His gold chain gleamed in the sunlight, and every step he took carried an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Li Chao watched Sang Biao approach step by step. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He subconsciously took a half step back and leaned his back against the monitor stand.

Sang Biao suddenly stood up and slapped the armrest of the director's chair with his front paws. The solid wood armrest instantly cracked and sawdust flew everywhere. Li Chao shuddered with fear and almost fell to the ground.

"Add, add, add! Add now!" Li Chao's voice changed. "What role does Brother Biao want to play? I'll ask the screenwriter to change the script right away!"

Lin Bufan crossed his legs and looked at Li Chao with a half-smile: "Brother Chao, didn't you just say that reshooting would cost a lot of money?"

Li Chao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile, "Brother Lin, this is different! His Majesty Sang Biao is a super internet celebrity with his own traffic. His participation will bring so much attention to the movie! The cost of the reshoots will be earned back in minutes!"

Lin Bufan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What about the script changes and redesign of the costumes and props?"

"Well..." Li Chao rubbed his hands, his eyes rolling. "His Majesty Sang Biao is so talented, he can just improvise! There's no need to change the script! As for the costume—His Majesty Sang Biao's outfit is so impressive, there's no need for a new design!"

Sang Biao nodded with satisfaction, patted Li Chao's shoulder with his claws, and almost made Li Chao kneel on the ground.

Lin Bufan continued to ask, "What about the actors' schedules? What about extending the filming period?"

Li Chao slapped his thigh and said, "This is no problem! We can focus on filming Brother Biao's scenes first, and the other actors can just cooperate and make adjustments."

Lin Bufan looked at Li Chao with a half-smile: "Brother Chao, that's not what you said just now. I remember someone saying that this is art! It's a movie! It's our hard work! It can't be changed casually?"

Li Chao remained calm and said righteously, "Art must keep pace with the times! His Majesty Sang Biao's participation is injecting new artistic vitality into the film!" As he spoke, Li Chao made a gesture of hugging the rising sun: "This is definitely the finishing touch!"

Sang Biao felt so comfortable after being praised that he walked around with his head held high and his gold chain jingling.

Lin Bufan finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Great, Brother Chao, you're really good at adapting to changing circumstances!"

Li Chao smiled shyly and said, "Isn't this all what I learned from you, Brother Lin? You taught us that we should be flexible..."

"Okay, okay!" Lin Bufan waved his hand to interrupt Li Chao's flattery: "Then it's settled. Remember to ask Nana to add a role for Sang Biao."

The afternoon shoot went exceptionally smoothly. Sang Biao's arrival livened up the entire crew. Despite his bad temper, the dog possessed a surprisingly good camera sense, his every move precise and on-point. Even Li Chao couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly. Lin Bufan, meanwhile, leisurely sipped an iced cola, occasionally sending Sang Biao a look to urge him to be less cocky.

The sun was setting, and the golden afterglow was sprinkled on the set. Lin Bufan stood up, patted the dust off his pants, and snapped his fingers at Sang Biao: "You bastard, find a place to eat tonight. I have something important to do."

Sang Biao was enjoying being fed by the girls in the crew. Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head, but just waved his paw. The meaning was very clear - get out of here and don't disturb me while I'm eating.

Lin Bufan drove to the headquarters of Xiaofan Entertainment. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Qu Xiaoxiao rushing out of the elevator in ten-centimeter high heels, and she threw herself into his arms like a colorful butterfly.

"Handsome Bufan!" Qu Xiaoxiao hugged Lin Bufan's neck, her eyes shining as if filled with stars: "You really came! I thought you were going to stand me up again!"

Lin Bufan casually put his arm around Qu Xiaoxiao's waist and said, "When have I ever broken my promise?"

Qu Xiaoxiao pouted her red lips and poked Lin Bufan's chest with her fingers: "Don't give me that! You promised me to sign the contract outside the car, but you still haven't kept your promise!"

"Cough cough cough!" Lin Bufan was choked by his own saliva and started coughing violently. He quickly covered Qu Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Auntie, please keep your voice down!" Lin Bufan looked around nervously, afraid that he would be heard by the passing employees.

Qu Xiaoxiao slapped Lin Bufan's hand away and rolled her eyes: "Tsk~ Are you embarrassed now? Why didn't you look embarrassed when you were signing in the car?" Qu Xiaoxiao deliberately raised her voice, causing the receptionist to look in curiously.

In order to prevent Qu Xiaoxiao from continuing to discredit his image, Lin Bufan hurriedly hugged her and rushed out of the lobby in two steps.

Qu Xiaoxiao was laughing so hard in Lin Bufan's arms that one of her high heels flew off.

"Lin Bufan, put me down!" Qu Xiaoxiao pounded Lin Bufan's shoulder, but her voice was filled with laughter: "My limited edition Jimmy Choo!"

"I'll buy you ten pairs later!" Lin Bufan rushed out of the revolving door without looking back. The security guard stared in amazement at his boss running past with his wife in his arms.

In the parking lot, Lin Bufan opened the car door with one hand and threw Qu Xiaoxiao into the passenger seat like a piece of luggage.

After Lin Bufan got in the car, Qu Xiaoxiao tidied up her messy hair and said with a smile, "Handsome Bufan, you won't go to see my parents empty-handed, right?"

Lin Bufan held the steering wheel with one hand and casually tossed his hair with the other: "Why do you have to worry about such a small matter? Do you know what my nickname is?"

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "Little White Dragon in the Waves, you said that last time."

"That's just one of them." Lin Bufan blinked mysteriously, "I have a more famous nickname - the mother-in-law killer! Just wait and see, I guarantee that I will be so bewildered that your mother will lose her way."

"Lin Bufan!" Qu Xiaoxiao instantly exploded and grabbed Lin Bufan's ear. "I was wondering why my mom was always asking about you. Turns out you harbored evil intentions! Tell me, what's going on between you and my mom now?"

Lin Bufan slapped Qu Xiaoxiao's hand away and glared at her angrily: "Monster Qu! What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long? Although I, Lin Bufan, am lustful, I still have the most basic morals, even if they are not many!"

After a pause, Lin Bufan suddenly sighed: "Xiao Xiao, a man as outstanding as me is indeed easy to attract people's attention. If Auntie has such thoughts, you should persuade Auntie to forget it, otherwise, Auntie will be the only one who gets hurt!"

"Lin Bufan, I'm going to fight you!" Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that her face turned green when she heard this. She suddenly pounced on Lin Bufan and scratched his face with her ten hooked fingers!

Lin Bufan quickly blocked with one hand and held the steering wheel tightly with the other hand.

Lin Bufan knew Qu Xiaoxiao too well. Once she started going crazy, it would definitely not be easy to calm down.

So for the safety of the two of them and other people on the road, Lin Bufan made a quick decision, reached out and grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao's neck, and pressed her head directly onto his thigh.

The journey was supposed to take half an hour, but because of Qu Xiaoxiao's interference, Lin Bufan drove for a full hour!

After stopping the car, Lin Bufan did not rush to get out, but reached out to straighten his pants that were wrinkled by Qu Xiaoxiao!

Qu Xiaoxiao opened the car window and waved her hands to fan her face, hoping that her cheeks, which had turned red due to the commotion just now, would quickly return to normal!

As Lin Bufan and Qu Xiaoxiao walked into the Qu family's villa with bags in their hands, they ran into a sloppy man head-on. It was Qu Xiaoxiao's half-brother Qu Lianjie!

When Qu Xiaoxiao saw Qu Lianjie, her expression instantly turned cold and her brows furrowed. "Why are you here?"

Qu Lianjie leaned against the door frame, shaking a bunch of car keys in his hand, and smiled playfully: "I heard that my good sister is going to bring her boyfriend home. How can I, as her brother, not come to see her?"

"Stop pretending here!" Qu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, took Lin Bufan's arm and was about to walk inside!

Qu Lianjie stretched out his hand, blocking the two of them. He looked Lin Bufan up and down with a squinting look, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh, so this is my brother-in-law? He doesn't look that great, and he's dressed like a nouveau riche."

Lin Bufan looked down at his plain casual clothes and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that his aura was so dazzling? Even dressed like this, could anyone still tell he was rich?

However, since he had been seen through by the person in front of him, Lin Bufan immediately decided that this boy must not be kept!

Lin Bufan reached out to stop Qu Xiaoxiao who was about to speak, then looked Qu Lianjie up and down. When Qu Lianjie seemed a little annoyed, Lin Bufan finally spoke: "You are Xiaoxiao's prodigal brother Qu Lianjie, right?"

When Qu Lianjie heard Lin Bufan say that he was a spendthrift, he became angry instantly. There was nothing he could do, because Lin Bufan was telling the truth!

Just when Qu Lianjie was about to speak, Lin Bufan spoke again, but this time he looked at Qu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, didn't I tell you? You should set a trap for this kind of person and send him to jail, otherwise he will be a cancer!"

Qu Xiaoxiao sighed and said helplessly, "I wasn't too lenient with him before, so he took advantage of the situation and was released after only one night. But he definitely won't be so lucky next time. He'll have to be under observation for at least a year or two!"

Qu Lianjie was instantly furious: "What?! You were the ones who reported the police during their last ward inspection? I think you're tired of living!"

Qu Lianjie roared in anger, and with red eyes, he raised his fist and hit Lin Bufan in the face.

At the same time, Qu Xiaoxiao, who had a tacit understanding with Lin Bufan, had already taken out her mobile phone and started filming!
