Touya Yaoyao

Would Bai Taoshi care about Yu Yaoyao's endorsement fee?! To be honest, he doesn't.

As a member of a prominent family in northern Beijing, Bai Taoshi has never lacked money since childhood. You could say that he might lack other things, but he definitely doesn't lack money.

As for his earlier nonsense about promoting Yu Yaoyao, it was just to avoid making Yu Yaoyao angry because he had gone to great lengths to get her clothes. Now that she had moved on, he was naturally happy to go along with it and obediently agreed.

Seeing that Bai Taoshi didn't feel like she'd lost out, Yu Yaoyao felt a little guilty. After all, this guy's endorsement fee was at least several hundred thousand yuan, and she just waived it with a simple open and closed her mouth. Wasn't that a bit too much?

Seeing Yu Yaoyao deep in thought, Bai Taoshi assumed she was considering mass production and couldn't help but suggest something to her:

"If you need it, our Bai family has a few garment factories that you can use, and we'll charge you based on cost price, how about that?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao glanced at him subconsciously, then refused without any politeness:

"No need. The Ye family has a few small factories that can make clothes. Besides, these clothes aren't popular yet, so let's talk about mass production later."

She spoke casually, but Bai Taoshi couldn't help but feel disappointed. He frowned and looked at Yu Yaoyao, unable to resist asking further:

"Are you sure you don't need to?! Actually, it's not necessary..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yaoyao bluntly refused:

"No need, don't mention this again. If you do, bring the clothes back to me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Taoyi looked helplessly at Yu Yaoyao's unquestionable expression and said plaintively:

"Yaoyao, you're really something, you won't even give me a chance to make money off you."

Yu Yaoyao, however, arrogantly tilted her head and said with a smug look:

"Trying to take advantage of me? No way!"

As they were talking, the two arrived at the filming location. Yu Yaoyao wanted to continue strolling around and taking photos, but Bai Taoshi threw his military uniform, which he had taken off, into her arms without saying a word, claiming that he was helping to watch it. As for himself, he had taken a liking to the costumes used in the filming.

Ye Qiguo's films are mostly modern love stories, about a girl who has a crush on a boy during her school days, but the boy is unaware of it or even oblivious to it.

Years later, the two met again. The man was single, and the woman happened to work for him. They rekindled their romance, but broke up and got back together several times because their parents disapproved. Finally, their sincerity moved each other's parents, and they got together.

This story contains the heartache of unrequited love, the excitement of a long-awaited reunion, the sweetness of getting to know and love each other, and the bitterness of parental disapproval.

Logically speaking, Ye actually filmed it quite well, but for Yu Yaoyao, the story was practically overused.

Why should the woman have to secretly love the man? Why should the woman have to wait for the man? Why should a man's one or two glances after rekindling their relationship make the woman infatuated and lose her mind?

Why should the woman have to work herself to the bone and go to great lengths to win over the man's parents just because he says, "My parents don't agree"? Seriously, what era are we living in? They're still making dramas like this. It's so melodramatic!

Just because the woman has a lower social status, and the man helped her parents with some money when they were hospitalized, does that mean she should be grateful to him and offer herself to him?!

Terrible! Absolutely terrible! What a lousy story! It's utterly demeaning to women, absolutely unbearable to read!

Why isn't it the man who secretly loves the woman?! Why isn't it the man who has to go to the woman's parents' house to win them over when they disapprove?! Why isn't it the man who has to remain celibate and wait for the woman?!

What?! Just because you're a male director, you expect women to love men to the point of death? Humph!

Yu Yaoyao was furious. She thought to herself that if she weren't the screenwriter, she would definitely write a story about a man pursuing a woman desperately, preferably with shamelessness. Just thinking about it would make her happy!

Thinking this way, Yu Yaoyao began to ponder whether she could create such a story. Although she wasn't a screenwriter, she had read a lot of novels, and novels and screenwriting should be similar, right?

Yu Yaoyao is the type to act on her impulses. Since she had decided on a direction, she naturally wanted to give it a try. So, she simply asked a staff member for a piece of paper, grabbed a ballpoint pen, and started scribbling.

Since it's a novel, you need a subject matter. What subject matter do you want to write about? What kind of costumes do you want to use? And what kind of set design do you want to use?

Yu Yaoyao pondered deeply, racking her brains, until she finally chose a theme: a modern love story.

But no matter how much she writes, it's all the same type of movies as Ye Qiguo's. What's the point of writing about it? You might as well just watch his movies.

So, after much agonizing thought, she decided to write ancient-style novels. However, she wasn't very familiar with the official titles and such of ancient times. Besides, the ancient times she knew were completely different from the ancient times of Zhao Kingdom. Would the people of Zhao Kingdom accept this?!

That's not necessarily true, so Yu Yaoyao abandoned the topic without a second thought and began to ponder.

What story should I write?! That is the question, it's so annoying, why am I creating trouble for myself? Maybe I should just give up writing altogether?

Thinking this, Yu Yaoyao irritably crumpled the paper she had been writing and drawing on into a ball, and just as she was about to go out for a walk, she saw Bai Taoshi standing right in front of her.

The reason they were so close was that she almost brushed against Shiratoya's face. The word "almost" was used because she subconsciously tilted her head back, which slightly increased the distance between them.

Although Bai Taoshi was a little unhappy about Yu Yaoyao's estrangement, he didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out and hugged her waist, then pinched it angrily.

Feeling extremely pained from being pinched, Yu Yaoyao reached out to push Bai Taoshi away, but Bai Taoshi glared at her and walked away angrily.

This scene completely stunned Ye Qiguo. He stood there dumbfounded for a long time before tentatively walking up to Yu Yaoyao and asking meaningfully:

"He doesn't like you, does he?!"

Yu Yaoyao gave Ye Qiguo a disdainful look and retorted:

"How could that be?! How could he like me? We're so close, you know the saying 'a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow'? Besides, he's never confessed to me. He probably just sees me as a good friend. Don't make wild guesses, acting like there's really something between us."

Yu Yaoyao spoke with absolute certainty, but Ye Qiguo sensed something fishy. Looking at Yu Yaoyao, who was frowning and rubbing her lower back, he couldn't help but cautiously ask:

"If he confessed his feelings to you, would you say yes?!"

"will not"

Yu Yaoyao answered very decisively, even resolutely:

"My third brother told me to stay away from him, or he'd break my legs and make sure I never had to leave the house again."
