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

The next morning, just as it was getting light, in order to prevent herself from missing the plane again because of Lin Bufan, Yang Mi ran to Lin Bufan's door early in the morning and started knocking on it.

"Junior Lin! Get up! If you don't get up now, the plane will leave again!"

However, no matter how hard Yang Mi knocked, there was no movement in the room. Just as Yang Mi frowned and was about to increase her strength, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her!

"Sister Mi, what the hell are you yelling about?"

Yang Mi was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Lin Bufan with his arms crossed, looking at her with a playful expression.

Yang Mi's chest was so frightened that it rose and fell violently. She patted her chest and complained, "Lin Bufan! Do you know that scaring people can kill them? Why are you standing behind someone so early in the morning without saying a word?"

Lin Bufan did not refute Yang Mi's complaint. There was nothing he could do about it. After all, what the elder said made sense!

After calming her pounding heart, Yang Mi noticed that Lin Bufan was already dressed and had obviously gotten up long ago. "You're up so early? The sun is rising from the west?"

"Oh, do you think everyone sleeps in like you?" Lin Bufan raised his chin proudly: "I am a model young man who insists on going to bed early and getting up early every day."

Yang Mi's face darkened instantly. Just as she was about to have a good chat with Lin Bufan about why they didn't leave yesterday, Peng Peng suddenly poked his head out from behind Lin Bufan and interrupted Yang Mi with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Mi! I can testify that Master did get up early this morning and dragged me through two hours of training. My legs are still shaking!"

Yang Mi looked at Peng Peng, who was sweating profusely, and then at Lin Bufan, who looked refreshed, and couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Alright, stop joking, go take a shower!"

After breakfast, a faint atmosphere of farewell permeated the courtyard of the Mushroom House. Teacher He patted Lin Bufan on the shoulder, his tone filled with reluctance: "Afan, this time the time is too short. You must stay a few more days next time!"

Teacher Huang also came over and handed Lin Bufan an insulated box: "This is the pickled vegetables I made specially for you to take with you on the road. Young people, don't always eat takeout. It's not good for your health."

Lin Bufan took the thermal box and said with a smile: "Teacher Huang, just for your pickles, next time if someone dares to say that your beans are not cooked, just tell me, and I will peel them or not. It's over."

"Go away!" Teacher Huang pretended to hit him, but Lin Bufan nimbly hid behind Zifeng's sister.

Sister Zifeng just kept on grinning foolishly at being used as a shield by Lin Bufan, with no intention of dodging at all.

Teacher Huang saw this and couldn't chase him any further. He could only shake his head helplessly: "You little brat, you only know how to use sister Zifeng as a shield!"

Lin Bufan poked his head out from behind Zifeng's sister and continued, "Teacher Huang, as a chef, you must always remember your original intention! The most important thing about cooking is cleanliness and hygiene, never add technology or hard work."

"Get lost!" Teacher Huang waved his hand in annoyance. "Do I even need your reminder?"

After saying goodbye to Teacher Huang and Teacher He, Lin Bufan hugged Peng Peng and Sister Zifeng and said goodbye in turn.

Peng Peng and sister Zifeng said that after the recording of the program is completed, they will go to Shanghai to play with Lin Bufan as soon as possible!

Yang Mi, Sang Biao, Song Qian, and Zheng Yin also said their goodbyes to the Mushroom House. Teacher He held Yang Mi's hand and urged her to take care of herself, while Teacher Huang gave Sang Biao a large bag of homemade dried meat. Song Qian politely hugged each member, while Zheng Yin waved back.

After leaving the Mushroom House, everyone returned to the hotel by car. Just like when they came, Director Wang sat in the car with Lin Bufan, Yang Mi, and Sang Biao.

"Mr. Lin, Mimi." Director Wang rubbed his hands together and said attentively, "During the editing process of the program, is there anything that needs to be cut? Please communicate with us in advance and we will pay attention to it during the editing process."

Yang Mi raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Is the production team so easy to talk to? Can the artists even decide to delete content themselves?"

Director Wang coughed awkwardly twice. "This...if it were anyone else, it wouldn't work, but for President Lin and Mimi, we definitely have to give them this favor."

"Come on!" Yang Mi curled her lips and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "I finally figured it out. I'm just taking advantage of Junior Brother Lin again."

Director Wang pretended to be annoyed: "You can see it, so why do you have to say it out loud? Don't you want this benefit anymore?"

Yang Mi immediately put on a sweet smile and said coquettishly, "Director Wang, I'm just trying to take credit for our Yearning production team! If I don't say it, how would Junior Lin know about your painstaking efforts?"

"Okay, okay, it's our production team that owes you a favor." Director Wang shook his head in mock resignation. "Tell me, what are your specific requests?"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up, and she immediately counted them on her fingers. "Those... um... shots that show me lacking grace, like rolling my eyes, swearing, and failing to control my facial expressions. Delete them all. And delete all the shots of me responding to that crazy woman Zheng Min. Only keep the ones where she's just looking for trouble. And, and..."

Listening to Yang Mi's series of requests, Director Wang was completely speechless: "If you delete it like this, then do you still have any footage?"

Yang Mi's face was instantly filled with black lines, and Sang Biao's "hehe" laughter broke out in the car.

When the laughter died down, Director Wang turned to Lin Bufan again: "Boss Lin, do you have any requests?"

Lin Bufan waved his hand and said with great pride, "A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed... Ugh, wrong, wrong, a real man should act openly and honestly, and speak openly to others! My scenes don't need to be cut!"

Can you please stop pretending? I want to punch this bastard to death!

If it weren't for the terrifying strength Lin Bufan displayed in the Mushroom House, Director Wang said he would definitely let Lin Bufan know the price of pretending!

Lin Bufan naturally had no idea what this seemingly smiling fat man was thinking. He paused and added, "Although there's nothing in my footage that needs to be cut, you can't maliciously edit it and misinterpret my meaning. If the audience misunderstands me, I'll come after you!"

Director Wang really wanted to ask Lin Bufan, "Where's your face? Where's your face?" With all those lewd words and that gullible look of yours, do we need to maliciously edit them? If we just air it normally, I'm afraid our production team will be blasted by netizens!

After a brief hesitation, Director Wang decided he still had to fight for it, so he tentatively asked, "Does General Lin really need us to... embellish it a little?"

“No need!” Lin Bufan waved his hand decisively: “The original flavor is the real me!”

Director Wang:......

After returning to the hotel, Duan Jiabao and Yang Mi's assistants had already packed their luggage and were waiting in the lobby. Yang Mi and Lin Bufan declined the program crew's airport drop-off service, saying they would just take their own car to the airport.

At this moment, Song Qian and Zheng Yan also came to the lobby. Zheng Yan's flight time was different, so he decided to rest in the hotel.

Song Qian was on the same flight as Lin Bufan and Yang Mi. Lin Bufan warmly invited her, "Let's save some money for the production team. Can I give you a ride to the airport?"

Song Qian happily agreed and hurried back to her room to get her luggage. Lin Bufan took the opportunity to say to Zheng Yan, "Miss Zheng, please think carefully about the film. I'll have someone from the company contact you after we return to Shanghai."

On the way to the airport, Yang Mi didn't stay in her own car, but squeezed into Lin Bufan's car. As soon as she got in the car, she had a stern face, crossed her arms, and stared at Lin Bufan straight in the eyes, as if to say, "I'm very angry, ask me why I'm angry!"

However, Lin Bufan seemed not to notice. At this moment, he was holding Song Qian's hand and reading her palm seriously. "Miss Song, your career line is very special. The first half was bumpy, but the second half suddenly became smooth. It seems that you have met a noble person..."

Song Qian was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed: "Boss Lin, you are not saying that you yourself are that noble person, right?"

"You discovered all this?" Lin Bufan pretended to be surprised: "But you are right, I am indeed your destined benefactor. You see, this turning point coincides with the time for you to return to China for development..."

Yang Mi listened to the two of them talking and laughing, and she gritted her teeth in anger. She deliberately coughed twice, but Lin Bufan didn't even turn his head and continued to analyze Song Qian's palm prints.

"Lin!" Yang Mi finally couldn't help herself and slapped the seat: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Lin Bufan then turned around, looking confused: "What did I do on purpose? Do you also want me to read your palm?" As he said that, he was about to pull Yang Mi's hand.

Yang Mi snapped Lin Bufan's hand open. "You knew Zheng Min and I didn't get along, yet you invited her to star in your movie and refused to let me. Tell me, did you do that on purpose?"

Lin Bufan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Why don't you get along with anyone?"

"What do you mean I don't get along with anyone?" Yang Mi was so angry that she jumped up and down: "I have a good relationship with everyone!"

"Okay, okay, you are the most popular person in the entertainment industry, okay?" Lin Bufan waved his hand perfunctorily, turned around and was about to read Song Qian's palm again!

Lin Bufan's perfunctory attitude made Yang Mi even angrier. Just when she was about to lose her temper, she suddenly seemed to think of something and immediately revealed a smug smile: "Junior Lin, I advise you not to let Zheng Shuang participate in your movie."

"Why?" Lin Bufan said without turning his head!

"If you let her act in your movie, there's a good chance you'll end up losing everything~" Yang Mi narrowed her fox eyes, her tone meaningful.

Lin Bufan finally stopped reading Song Qian's palm and turned to look Yang Mi up and down. Was this woman talking about tax evasion or surrogacy and abandonment? Was she the one who reported Zheng Yan's downfall in his previous life? As expected, this woman was a bad, bad, bad woman!

Seeing Lin Bufan remained silent, Yang Mi thought he didn't believe her, so she moved closer and lowered her voice, "Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling you. There's a very real possibility that there's something wrong with Zheng Yan's filming contract. If it goes viral, your multi-million dollar movie will be wiped out!"

After coming back to his senses, Lin Bufan curled his lips and said with disdain: "Do I need you to tell me? As if everyone knows it."

Now not only Yang Mi was shocked, even Song Qian was dumbfounded. Knowing that the other person had problems, he still asked him to make a movie. Could it be that he wanted to earn the penalty for breach of contract?

But - can this really pay off?

Can one person's liquidated damages cover the expenses of the entire crew and the salaries of other actors?

This is because Yang Mi and Song Qian don’t know what kind of actors Lin Bufan is looking for. If they knew, they would probably think that Lin Bufan is trying to make money from this!

Yang Mi stared at Lin Bufan suspiciously: "You knew she had problems, but you still asked her to act?"

"I asked her to act because she has problems. If she had no problems, I wouldn't have asked her." As he said that, Lin Bufan suddenly moved closer to Yang Mi and lowered his voice and asked, "Why, do you still want to act now?"

Yang Mi immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I'm not going to act anymore!"

……

The car arrived at the airport after a smooth journey. The group checked in smoothly and landed smoothly at the Magic City Airport two hours later.

As soon as he walked out of the corridor bridge, Lin Bufan realized something was wrong - the dark crowd at the airport reception area in the distance and the flashing lights one after another clearly showed that there were a large number of reporters waiting there.

"Did you arrange this again?" Yang Mi nudged Lin Bufan with her elbow. Apparently, she also noticed the abnormality in the distance!

Lin Bufan frowned and shook his head: "It really wasn't me this time. If I had arranged it, I would definitely have prepared bodyguards in advance."

Upon hearing this, Sang Biao immediately pulled out his phone and started typing: [Lin Gou, you're so insidious! You clearly said not to use a shill, but you ended up secretly arranging it yourself!]

Lin Bufan squatted down and grabbed Sang Biao's ears: "You bastard, stop crying wolf! Tell me! Did you arrange this?"

Sang Biao broke free and typed: [Bullshit, I think you're the one crying thief. You clearly said you wouldn't arrange it, but you ended up doing it without telling me. Shameless!]

Seeing that Sang Biao didn't seem to be lying, Lin Bufan turned to look at Yang Mi and Song Qian: "Could it be that your schedule was leaked and these people are coming for you two?"

Song Qian was the first to shake her head, indicating that it wasn't her fault: "I just returned to China, how could there be so much attention!"

After observing for a while, Yang Mi discovered something unusual: "If there was no one to organize it, even if so many fans came, there wouldn't be so many reporters."

Unable to figure it out, Lin Bufan simply gave up thinking about it and walked straight towards the exit. However, Lin Bufan had the foresight to put on sunglasses in advance. Sang Biao also asked Lin Bufan for a pair to wear. Yang Mi and Song Qian said they didn't need it, it was nothing.

When they got closer, they realized that the video of Lin Bufan performing a magic trick in the Mushroom House, promising a 100 million cash reward to anyone who could crack it, had been leaked. This video had caused a huge uproar online, and most of the reporters and fans were there just to get the idea.

"Mr. Lin, are you really willing to pay a 100 million bonus for cracking the magic trick?"

"Boss Lin, does this magic trick have any special meaning?"

“Prince, can you perform this live again?”

Reporters peppered the room with questions, cameras flashing. Lin Bufan raised his hand to signal for silence. "Time is limited. To avoid disrupting the flow of others, I'll only answer three questions. Think carefully before asking!"
