“Young Master Wang, this…” Director Li was also somewhat incredulous. Could there be someone significant in that video?

“Let’s go,” Wang Hao leaned back on the sofa in a daze, and he waved his hand lightly.

Seeing this, Director Li didn’t say more and nodded before leaving the room.

After Director Li left, Wang Hao looked at the voluptuous lead actress beside him and said, “You can go too.”

“Wang Shao, let me stay with you,” after all, Wang Hao was like a financial lifeline for her. If she stayed by his side, she wouldn’t have to worry about money in the short term.

Wang Hao sat up and said seriously, “I’ll transfer 100,000 to you later as compensation for your hard work during this time. That’s it.”

Seeing Wang Hao’s determined attitude, the woman didn’t insist, she just nodded and left with her bag.

Watching her leave so freely, Wang Hao couldn’t help but sigh, “Women are heartless, and actors have no loyalty!”

Meanwhile, the crew’s production team was in a rented house, making phone calls to various production heads in Hengdian, looking for any available opportunities.

“Brother Li, it’s me, Chen Chen. Have there been any new projects recently? Please keep an eye out for us, okay? No? Alright, thanks, Brother Li.” After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen sighed in frustration.

“Do you two have any progress?”

“None. I’ve contacted all the production heads I know, and they all said there’s nothing available.”

“I haven’t found anything either. Just that one production head I have a good relationship with mentioned something to me.”

Chen Chen furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of unease. “What did he say?”

“My friend mentioned a notice from Hengdian. They’re saying that any project involving us is banned from filming there. It sounds unlikely, but it looks like someone is singling us out. We’re just small fry, so it doesn’t make sense for a big shot to come after us.”

As Chen Chen heard this, he recalled being kicked out of Hengdian earlier in the afternoon and realized that they had offended someone. Thinking back on recent events, there was only one couple that came to mind.

“I didn’t expect us to stir up trouble with such a formidable opponent.”

“Chen Chen, what are you muttering about?”

“Pack your things; we’re leaving. Hengdian, no, I should say the entire film and television industry, is no longer a place for us.”

The three of them gathered their belongings and left Hengdian like a group of defeated dogs.

As for Zhou Chao, he wasn’t too concerned about what had happened. At this moment, the two of them had just returned to their guesthouse from town. Jiang Li was lying on a recliner on the second floor, downloading various apps on her new phone, as her old one was no longer functional.

“Brother Chao, when are we going back?” Jiang Li asked.

Zhou Chao turned his head to look at Jiang Li and asked, “What’s wrong? Did today’s incident affect your mood?”

Jiang Li pouted. “A bit.”

“We’ll head back to Modu tomorrow. Ling Chen also called me earlier and said that the foundation’s affairs have been arranged, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Jiang Li sat up and curiously asked, “Are you going too?”

“Yeah, it’s time to step into the spotlight.” Zhou Chao’s eyes took on a deeper look.

Jiang Li giggled. “I thought you, as the big boss, were planning to stay behind the scenes and avoid the limelight. Why suddenly want to stand in the forefront?”

“If those people from today knew about our identities, would they dare to speak to us like that? It’s just a matter of them bullying the weak. Besides, standing in the spotlight just means a bit more attention from the media. It doesn’t matter. It’s also better to preemptively deal with any troublemakers in the future.”

Jiang Li understood that recent events had influenced Zhou Chao’s thinking. If they truly stood at the forefront, various pressures would come their way, and wherever they went would become a hot topic for the media.

“Love you,hubby!”

“If you really love me, how about rewarding me nicely tonight?” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li with a mischievous grin.

When Jiang Li realized what Zhou Chao meant by “reward,” her face turned all red.

“Wake up, little lazy pig. Didn’t we agree to leave today? Why are you still in bed, with the sun already shining on your butt?” Zhou Chao gently patted Jiang Li’s raised behind.

“Ah~ I don’t want to get up. I want to sleep a bit more.” Jiang Li, with slightly blurred eyes, looked at Zhou Chao with a pitiful expression.

“Hurry up, or else I’ll join you for a little while.” Zhou Chao wore a mischievous smile on his face.

“Ugh,” Jiang Li knew what Zhou Chao had in mind, and although she tried to provoke him a bit, she obediently got up. She knew that if she didn’t, Zhou Chao would surely engage in some mischief.

After about half an hour, Jiang Li finished freshening up. “Brother Chao, are we heading back to Hang City first?”

“No, we’re going to Hengdian Airport. I’ve arranged for Dole to fly in from Hang City, and he should be here by now,” Zhou Chao said as he packed his luggage.

Jiang Li asked with curiosity, “Isn’t the airport in Hengdian a general airport?”

“Yes, I coordinated with Hengdian to allow our flights to land and take off there.”

Once they had packed their bags, they left the small villa. They encountered the landlady on their way out.

“Are you leaving?” The landlady looked at their luggage with surprise.

“Yeah, we have some family matters to attend to, so we’re heading back today.”

“Oh, okay. I was going to ask if you wanted to have lunch here, but never mind. I’ll refund the remaining room fee to you.” With that, the landlady walked away.
