w.a.n.g Liang pretended to be mysterious, whispering in Director Chen"s ear, "Director Chen, do you know that Fang Xinting"s ex-boyfriend is of the same type of Gong Yu? So I believe that something happened or about to happen between Fang Xinting and Gong Yu."
Chen Yingqiang frowned and pondered. "But Gong Yu has married and has a child. He is in good relationship with his wife, so it might not like what you thought."
w.a.n.g Liang looked at Chen Yingqiang as if he was looking at an idiot. "Director Chen, you"ve been in the entertainment circle for a long time. Don"t you know all these tricks? Must all the news hyped online be true? So many people have affairs with others, so, one or two more affairs are not important in this circle. You should pay attention to them and don"t let them get involved in some kind of scandal. That will eventually affect the movie"s release."
Chen Yingqiang nodded and had a new view of Gong Yu in his mind.
Gong Yu and Seventh Brother, who had already been in their room, didn"t know what happened after they left.
As soon as Gong Yu entered the room, he took out his cell phone and started calling Murong Yunxi. "h.e.l.lo, Xiao Xi, I have arrived."
"How are you? Are you tired?"
"No, I just miss you."
Seventh Brother listened to Gong Yu"s words on the side, widely opening his eyes. He was stunned. "When did Gong Yu start to say so many sweet words? It subverted his character in my mind totally."
Gong Yu continued to say, "I will begin my work tomorrow, but I don"t have any mood for it at all. What should I do?"
"Just work hard, so you can go back home as soon as possible."
"Well, okay."
Sure enough, after the call, Gong Yu started working with the hope of getting the job done as soon as possible.
The next day, the entire crew had a meeting. Chen Yingqiang first welcomed all the people present, and then explained the work arrangements.
Chen Yingqiang asked everyone"s opinion after he finished his speech. Gong Yu was the first to respond. "Director Chen, I have no request except that I hope I can finish all my work during the early stage of the whole project."
After listening to him, Chen Yingqiang confusedly asked, "Gong Yu, are your works in conflicts with the following ones?"
Gong Yu said indifferently, "No. I just want to go home as soon as possible."
For the moment, everyone looked at Gong Yu without a word. Chen Yingqiang was at a loss for he thought the excuse unreasonable.
Someone joked. "Gong Yu, are you worried about your beautiful wife hid at home? You want to go back to accompany her as soon as possible, right?"
Gong Yu answered indifferently, "Yes."
No one expected that Gong Yu would admit it as they all thought it was a joke.
Seventh Brother listened at the side and wanted to dig a hole for himself to hide at the moment. He didn"t want to admit that he knew Gong Yu.
Fang Xinting sat in a place not far from Gong Yu and meaningfully looked at him.
In the evening, when Chen Yingqiang distributed the schedule to them, Gong Yu immediately frowned and looked at him. "There are some problems with this schedule."
Chen Yingqiang confusedly looked at the schedule. "Huh? What do you refer to?"
"My working period is too long."
"But it was you who talked about having a tighter schedule."
"No, I mean the whole period of the project is too long and it needs to be more compact."
"But, according to this, you"ll have to work ten hours every day."
"In fact, I can work 18 hours every day."
"Gong Yu, working 18 hours a day means that you"ll only have four hours to sleep with the rest of the time to eat. Are you sure it"s ok?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure you want such a heavy workload?"
"Yes!"
"But even if you have no problem with it, others will have. They can"t accept such a large amount of work in a day."
"Then 16 hours a day."
"If we arrange it for you, what should others do during the current period? Put off all their works to the later period?"
"They can take a break first."
"But, but..."
"I can subtract 20% from my paycheck."
Chen Yingqiang looked at Gongyu and was speechless. He couldn"t help but ask, "Is it really because you are worried about your wife at home? Not because you have a crowded schedule or some other jobs?"
"Yeap."
After hearing the answer, Chen Yingqiang was sure that what w.a.n.g Liang said yesterday was impossible. "How can such a dependent husband cheat on his wife?"
The following work started very tightly. Gong Yu turned out to be an incredible workaholic every day. Afterward, Chen Yingqiang and a group of staff all started their excessive work. And of course, Seventh Brother also had to bitterly accompany him.
"Gong Yu, you are supported by the power of love, but we are not. You can"t treat all of us as supermen." One day, Seventh brother complained to Gong Yu at two in the morning.
It was when Gong Yu just finished his work at night. Seventh Brother went back to the hotel with Gong Yu, exhausted.
"In this way, we can finish the work in one and a half months. And I won"t miss her so much when I am busy. I think it"s very good." Gong Yu coldly looked at Seventh Brother.
"Bro, you think it"s good, but we don"t feel that way. Please look at everyone"s dark circles. It"s..."
As he was talking, Fang Xinting appeared at the door of Gong Yu"s room.
Gong Yu coldly asked, "What"s the matter?"
Fang Xinting glanced at Gong Yu and said with a strong grievance, "Don"t you think that you are too selfish?"
In fact, Fang Xinting had been suppressing her grievances for a long time, and she had done her best to hold them back until that day.
"I don"t think so."
"You have increased the workload of everyone for yourself. Do you know that I sleep less than eight hours a day? So harmful it is for a woman!"
"I have less than six hours of sleep a day."
"You asked for it. Why should I go crazy with you?"
"You have the choice."
"But I am the leading actress with the most work to cooperate with you."
"So what? Your total workload is not changed. If you just finish the work in advance, you"ll have more time to rest later."
"But I have dark circles now. You should take the responsibility."
"I don"t have this obligation."
"You!"
"Is there anything else? If it"s okay, you"d better take your time to go to sleep, instead of arguing about such a boring topic with me at my door."
"Gong Yu, you..."
Fang Xinting was angry and didn"t know what to do. With such a beautiful woman standing at his door, Gong Yu was not only unmoved but also showed no care for her. For so many days, except for filming times, she could hardly speak to him. "What a strange person is Gong Yu?"
Gong Yu coldly glanced at Fang Xinting, opened the door, and pa.s.sed her into the room.
Seventh brother followed behind and looked at Fang Xinting"s angry expression. He wanted to say something, but finally patted her shoulder and immediately entered the room.
Fang Xinting looked at the closed door, with her grievances being more intense. She turned to Linda"s room.
Linda was awakened by Fang Xinting from her sweet sleep. Her recent intense work made her feel very tired, so, she fell asleep as soon as she entered the room today. "It is so late. Why don"t you go to sleep? What are you doing?"
Fang Xinting completely ignored the complaints and went straight into the room. "I am angry."
. Linda rubbed her eyes and asked, "Who dares to provoke our Young Miss?"
"Of course, Gong Yu."
"Gong Yu? What"s wrong with him? He is now a working machine. He has nothing to do except work. How does he have spare time to provoke you?"
"It is because he is so crazy about work that I went to argue with him. But..."
"You failed, didn"t you?"
"Linda, what do you think of me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Alas, I am..."
"What do you want to say?" After the question, Linda suddenly seemed to realize something, and asked, "Do you fall in love with Gong Yu?"
Linda looked at Fang Xinting and felt her guess possible even more. She was astonished and asked, "Do you really fall in love with him? You have to know that he is married. Although he is really handsome, he has been the husband of another person. If you intervene in their marriage, you will be "the third party". Do you really want that result?"
Fang Xinting glared at Linda, without any reb.u.t.tal; she defaulted. This drove Linda more and more crazy. She had seen too much of Fang Xinting"s waywardness, so she fully believed that Fang Xinting would really go after Gong Yu. "She always takes what she likes by any means. Before, she just went after others" boyfriends. Now, she wants a married man. It is going too far."
Linda looked at Fang Xinting in horror, and once again, she persuaded her. "My dear, I want to call you "Jesus". Let"s not provoke troubles this time. This will be such a catastrophe that we can"t deal with. You will be "the third party" in their marriage and destroy their family. No, we can"t do this."
Fang Xinting took a look at Linda. "But, I"m really crazy about him this time."
Linda felt helpless. "My dear, you said the same thing of your every ex-boyfriend."
"No, it"s different this time."
"How?"
"I was really tempted this time. I have never felt like this before. I have a different feeling whenever I see him."
"Xinting, you can"t destroy his family no matter how much you like him. This is immoral."
Linda was actually very traditional. She particularly hated "the third parties" of people"s marriage. When Fang Xinting chased after others" boyfriends in the past, she disagreed with her behavior but did not say much of it. However, when it came to destroying others" marriage, she totally couldn"t accept it.
Fang Xinting looked at Linda"s serious face and felt very annoyed. Although Linda treated her well all the time, Linda"s nagging was something she hated. Especially when Linda scolded her with a cold face, it reminded her of the head teachers in school.
Fang Xinting got up impatiently and glanced at Linda, saying, "Please go back to sleep. This is none of your business. And don"t mess with me either."
Later, Fang Xinting returned to her room and made a phone call.
