Chapter 177: I have money but I can’t give it away
In a residential area in Shanghai, the crew of "Ode to Joy" is filming in full swing.
Suddenly, the roar of engines broke the silence of the set, and a number of luxury cars slowly came into view.
The staff members stopped their work and looked up curiously.
The convoy stopped at the entrance of the studio, and a group of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses quickly got out of the car and stood in an orderly manner beside the Rolls-Royce Phantom in the middle, forming a tight line of defense.
Such a situation made director Kong Sheng frown. He had to pause the filming and arrange for his assistant to go and inquire.
At this time, the car door was opened by the bodyguard.
Mu Zaiyong got out of the car.
That moment.
All the eyes of the "Ode to Joy" crew were focused on him.
Then, they started whispering to each other in twos and threes.
Thanks to the Internet age.
Even in Daxia, there are many people who know Mu Zairong, the two-star prince.
After a brief exchange with the assistant director who came to inquire, Mu Zairong was led to Kong Sheng.
"Hello, Director. I am Mu Zairong from the Korean Erxing Group. I am sorry to interrupt your filming because I have an unwelcome request."
The fluent Dahadi dialect made Kong Sheng look at this top Korean tycoon with a new respect.
"Mr. Mu, I'm just a small director. I don't think I can help you, right?"
Kong Sheng replied in a calm tone.
"I would like to have a private conversation with Ms. White Fawn."
Mu Zairong gave a kind smile and directly stated his purpose.
"White Fawn?"
Mu Zairong's words caused Kong Sheng's expression to change drastically.
Bai Xiaolu is the most beloved child of Mr. Chu. Kong Sheng knew this the first time he met them.
Now, as Chu Yuchen's story has spread widely on the Internet, she is a treasure in the crew. Even Director Kong speaks softly to her, focusing on the word "pampering".
Kong Sheng stared at Mu Zairong with a vigilant look, and said without question: "Mr. Mu, during the filming of the crew, actors are strictly prohibited from contacting irrelevant personnel, so please go back."
"Director Kong, you may have misunderstood. I just wanted to have a few words with Bai Xiaolu and hope she could do me a small favor."
Mu Zairong patiently explained: "If you are worried, you can stay here. I can even arrange for two people to accompany Bai Xiaolu. It's no problem. I have no ill intentions at all."
Kong Sheng stared at Mu Zairong's eyes with a twinkling gaze. Seeing that his expression was sincere and genuine, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I can ask for you. But if Bai Xiaolu refuses, please leave immediately and don't disturb our filming."
"Okay, thank you Director Kong."
Mu Zairong smiled and thanked Kong Sheng, then walked back to the Rolls-Royce Phantom and waited.
Kong Sheng then came to Bai Xiaolu, who was chatting with Zhang Qianqian, and told her about Mu Zairong looking for her.
"The Second Star Prince is looking for me?"
Bai Xiaolu was a little surprised: "Director, didn't he say what it was specifically about?"
"no!"
Kong Sheng shook his head, and then said: "Xiaolu, if you don't want to see him, I will reject him and let him leave."
Bai Xiaolu's pretty willow-shaped eyebrows slightly frowned, and her beautiful eyes looked at Zhang Qianqian and He Dan beside her, and said to Kong Sheng: "No matter what his intention is, since he came from South Korea to find me, it's okay to meet him."
"He Dan, go with Xiaolu. I'm going to the bathroom."
Zhang Qianqian's heart moved, her bright eyes turned, and she found a reason and prepared to inform Young Master Chu.
"Okay, He Dan will go with me."
Bai Xiaolu didn't think about it too much. He said something to Zhang Qianqian, and walked towards Mu Zairong who was waiting next to the Rolls-Royce Phantom with He Dan.
Two beautiful figures walked towards him, and Mu Zairong recognized Bai Xiaolu at a glance.
She had a slender figure, her skirt fluttered, her black hair fluttered in the breeze, and a faint smile hung on her bright face.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the two-star prince who has seen countless women has to sigh that in the entire Korean entertainment industry, there are only a handful of women who can compete with this woman.
"Hello, Miss Bai. I'm Mu Zirong. I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you don't mind."
Mu Zairong smiled, took two steps forward, and introduced himself very politely.
Bai Xiaolu glanced at him and said calmly, "Mr. Mu, I have to shoot some more scenes soon. Time is limited. Please tell me what you want to say."
"Okay, I'll just say it straight."
Mu Zairong didn't want to waste any more time, so he said politely, "I would like to meet Mr. Chu Yuchen. Please introduce me to him, Miss Bai."
At this moment, Zhang Qianqian, who was hiding in a corner not far away, was informing Master Chu about the news that Mu Zairong had come to the crew to find Bai Xiaolu.
Young Master Chu was slightly stunned, and then he understood Mu Zairong's intention.
The two-star prince went all the way to the Magic City to look for the little star Bai Xiaolu without any hesitation. It is impossible that he had any other purpose except that it was related to himself.
Subconsciously, he wanted Zhang Qianqian to tell Bai Xiaolu to refuse the offer outright, but then he thought, since the other party has come to him, he might as well listen to what this two-star prince wants to say to him.
So, Young Master Chu told the girl in his orphanage to tell Bai Xiaolu that he could help with the introduction.
Zhang Qianqian put away her phone, ran to the hesitant Bai Xiaolu and whispered in her ear about Mr. Chu's decision.
Bai Xiaolu rolled her eyes at her bestie, then smiled at Mu Zairong and said, "Okay, I'll call Yuchen, and Mr. Mu can just go to Jiugang to find him."
Mu Zairong was delighted, his face still as kind and friendly as the spring breeze, and he said softly: "Miss Bai, I have another request. I hope you can accompany me to Jiugang... Of course, for the losses caused to the Ode to Joy crew and Miss Bai..."
Mu Zairong casually took out two cash checks that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed them to Bai Xiaolu with both hands: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Miss Bai doesn't mind."
"It's no problem to go to Old Port...but I can't accept this check."
Bai Xiaolu refused without hesitation.
As she was in contact with Young Master Chu almost every day, she was naturally aware of the glorious deeds her lover had done during this period.
The so-called courtesy to others must require something.
Although she didn't know why Mu Zairong was looking for Young Master Chu.
but,
She still knows the principle that one should be grateful for what one has received and one should be grateful for what one has received.
After being with Young Master Chu, Bai Xiaolu's life has undergone tremendous changes.
The fifty million on the check was not even as much pocket money that Mr. Chu gave him every month.
"Miss Bai...please don't misunderstand me. After all, I have wasted your precious time because of my matter, so I should express my gratitude."
Mu Zaiyong used his eloquent tongue to sincerely express his apology: "Besides, if the crew needs to stop working because of this, I should also express my gratitude to everyone. Please don't refuse."
Bai Xiaolu raised his eyebrows slightly. After his automatic filtering, the other party's words were reduced to the following keywords: "The crew stopped working.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaolu smiled and replied, "As a small actor, I have no say in the crew's affairs. Mr. Mu can just discuss it with the director. But... I will definitely not take a penny from you."
Mu Zairong still didn't want to give up, and was about to continue lobbying when he heard Bai Xiaolu add in a more serious tone: "If Mr. Mu wants me to go to Jiugang, please take back the check.
If you insist on doing this, please go find Yu Chen yourself."
Mu Zairong hesitated for a moment, took back the check, asked Bai Xiaolu to pack up and prepare to go to Jiugang with him immediately.
"Okay, please wait."
Bai Xiaolu nodded, and walked back to the crew with Zhang Qianqian and He Dan.
Mu Zairong found Kong Sheng again and wanted to give the check to him, but was once again rejected by the upright director Kong.
Mu Zairong took back the check with some embarrassment and lowered his chances of success for this trip to Jiugang by half.
