Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Too Torturous
In the VIP ward of Han City Noble Hospital.
Sheng Shaochen watched as Ye Shu was replaced by a stand-in time after time, a barely perceptible smile flickered across his lips.
He silently sent Sun Nanjue a message with just one word, “Like!”
He had been better off not doing so, because as soon as he did, Sun Nanjue’s call came through right away.
Wailing filled the air.
“Ah Chen, my dear Ah Chen, can I not take this job? Is it possible to change people?” he lamented, day after day, watching Little Shushu, a rare acting talent, commanding “Cut! Cut! Cut!”
It was nothing short of an insult to his professional integrity.
Torture!
“It’s possible…” Sheng Shaochen squeezed out two words at a leisurely pace.

Sun Nanjue’s eyes lit up, “Really? Ah Chen, you’re the best! I’m telling you, Little Shushu, she’s really talented…”
“Unless…” came Sheng Shaochen’s chilly voice over the radio waves.
Sun Nanjue’s excitement froze instantly, as if encased in ice, solidifying in an instant, his facial expressions ridiculously comical.
“Ah… Ah Chen, don’t set traps for me, my legs are too long; it’s easy to break them if I jump down,” he pleaded with eyes brimming with grievance.
“Unless you can secure her a role in your new film,” Sheng Shaochen dropped this bombshell and hung up the phone.
Ow— Sun Nanjue smacked his forehead, why did it feel like it was a lose-lose situation no matter what?!
Just as Sheng Shaochen hung up on Sun Nanjue, An Zhe called from Jin City, “Ah Chen, Ye Shengli has already raised 30 billion yuan, with 58 companies big and small taking shares. Should we make a move?”
“Strike!” Sheng Shaochen threw out the word decisively.
An Zhe nodded, “Okay!”
When Ye Shu and Ou Linlin left the film set, they spotted Director Sun standing at the entrance, scratching his head and looking frustrated.
Ou Linlin’s expression changed slightly, “Ye Shu, I’m going to take off first.”
“Okay.” Ye Shu knew that Ou Linlin was deliberately avoiding Sun Nanjue.
The reasons, unspoken by Ou Linlin, Ye Shu could somewhat guess.
Ye Shu walked straight up to Sun Nanjue’s luxury car, leaned against its hood, and faced him with a cold sneer, “Is Director Sun worrying about how to straightforwardly tell me to get lost from the ‘Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ set?”
All day today, they had barely let her properly shoot a single scene. Wasn’t it clear they were following Young Master Sheng’s orders to force her to leave the set herself?
That hypocritical Sheng Shaochen was always talking about giving her space, yet behind her back, he was playing dirty.
True to form as a cunning businessman!
“Little Shushu, I’ve been wronged…”
“I know, it’s Sheng Shaochen’s idea, right?” Ye Shu smiled, her eyes curving up, the shimmering light in them making him feel somewhat flustered.
“No, it’s not… actually… indeed, I did want to force you out of ‘Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’… That way, I could sign you as the lead actress in my new film,” said Sun Nanjue, chuckling while scratching his head and speaking in earnest.
Ye Shu sneered and shook her head, “Birds of a feather!”
“Little Shushu, what do you mean?”
“It means that both you and him are self-centered bastards!” Ye Shu walked to the side of the road and stretched her hand out to hail a taxi.
Sun Nanjue hurriedly grabbed her back, “Little Shushu, hear me out. You staying with ‘Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ won’t allow you to act properly anyway. Why not just switch over to my new film as the lead actress? It’ll be smooth sailing for your acting career, how good is that?”
“What if I just don’t agree?” Ye Shu looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, her gaze traveling down to the hand he had on her.
