"Sister Bai, I have an unusual request. Could you introduce me to the master of the Embroidered Screen style? I would like to pay a visit to that master!" Zhang Feng held a cup of hot tea, inhaling the refreshing aroma, and was even more curious about Bai Tang. How could a girl from an ordinary family possess so many wonderful things? This tea was far better than the special supply tea his parents had.
Bai Tang showed an apologetic expression. "The master does not wish to meet outsiders. I'm sorry."
This lie was one she didn't even believe herself, but what could she do? She couldn't expose the system, could she?
"What a pity!" As expected, he couldn't find out anything, so Zhang Feng stopped probing. Some things were better done by oneself.
Sheng Qingxi was very satisfied with the environment in Dongshan and called his Assistant Director to have the crew move to City D. Bai Tang followed Sheng Qingxi around, helping him contact hotels and relevant departments... both were extremely busy. Zhang Feng left after the third meeting and took away all the goods ordered by Sheng Qingxi. Bai Tang didn't know that after Zhang Feng left, someone was sent to investigate her. Although she kept a low profile, there were too many unusual aspects during this time; it would be easy for someone with intent to uncover them—of course, they could never find out about the system or her crossing over, which were fantastical and lofty existences.
"How can someone without any background suddenly produce so many valuable items? What could be the reason?" Zhang Feng pondered over a stack of documents.
"I suggest you best not provoke her!" The warning came from Zhang Yu, who inherited Elder Zhang's influence and connections and knew many secrets unknown to ordinary people. "She is likely a descendant of some hidden sect."
"Hidden sect? Brother, have you watched too many martial arts dramas?" Zhang Feng asked with amusement.
Zhang Yu looked at his "foolish younger brother" calmly, his face serious.
Zhang Feng's smile faded. "Is what you said true?"
Zhang Yu replied, "The so-called 'Dragon Group' inside is somewhat exaggerated, but there are indeed similar departments in the security bureau. Some people possess special abilities, and some are martial arts masters with legendary inner strength. They come from martial arts sects. Ordinary people may not know about these sects, but they do exist. These individuals are not easy to deal with."
Zhang Feng closed his mouth in disbelief. "Brother, what you just said has overturned my understanding of over forty years. If I had known such sects existed, I would have tried every means to join! You know my dream was always to be a chivalrous hero who could leap across rooftops."
Zhang Yu rolled his eyes at his younger brother, "I only just found out a year ago." If it weren't for his current status, he feared he might never know. Meanwhile, those prominent families in the capital had children who entered those sects for training and traveled abroad.
"Bai Tang is really lucky!" Zhang Feng sighed enviously, defining Bai Tang's unusual situation and sparing her from many troubles. "We need to build a good relationship with her; she has plenty of valuable things!"
During this trip to City D, Zhang Feng's gains were not bad. He not only bought numerous embroidered items and decorations but also several antiques—he thought he had stumbled upon some hidden treasures. Zhang Feng figured that since Bai Tang was a disciple of a hidden sect, she must have more good things, and he was determined to dig some out from her.
Bai Tang was unaware that there were already preliminary intentions for collaboration with her future business. She was currently following Sheng Qingxi's film crew, enjoying the excitement. This time, she brought back quite a few items from ancient times, enough to handle the orders on her online store. She entrusted everything to Wu Xuemei and stayed with Sheng Qingxi's crew. Because she was a friend of the director, everyone in the crew treated her very politely.
Sheng Qingxi was filming a period drama called "Reversal," which told the story of a young man who suffered a tragic fate due to the emperor's suspicions towards his family and ended up disabled. He assisted a prince from the cold palace who was not favored by the emperor and ultimately helped him ascend to the throne. Except for the emperor being played by an experienced actor, all other roles were filled by unknown young actors, making the entire crew very vibrant.
"Do you want to escape your current situation? Do you want to rise above and trample all those who insult you? I can help you..." The young man in a wheelchair extended a hand towards the boy sitting on the ground in an inviting gesture, wearing a confident smile.
The boy silently stared into the young man's eyes for a long time before finally placing his hand in the young man's.
"No matter your reasons for helping me, I promise you! As long as you help me attain that position, I will fulfill your wishes."
Sunlight illuminated both of them; despite their disheveled appearances, they stood like victorious kings at the pinnacle of success.
Bai Tang was captivated by their performances, feeling as if she were witnessing the rise of two strong figures firsthand. She had to admit that Sheng Qingxi had a keen eye for talent; the actors he chose were excellent. Even though they weren't well-known, all these actors had professional training and their acting skills far surpassed those of many idol stars.
"Cut. Good, let's move on to the next scene!" During work, Sheng Qingxi showed none of his usual casualness or silliness; he was serious as if he had transformed into a different person. However, his temper was good; he didn't scold actors for mistakes but often pulled them aside to discuss their performances, earning respect from all the actors. Some actors had looked down on him initially due to his lack of fame as a director, but this attitude changed completely after working together for some time. Now, Sheng Qingxi truly became the boss of the crew.
The next scene involved the cold palace prince reminiscing about his mother, who was the emperor's first empress and the daughter of a great general. When the emperor was still a prince, he married her for her family's influence but turned against her once he ascended to the throne. He not only plotted against and annihilated the general's family but also demoted his pregnant empress to the palace while elevating her cousin to take her place as empress. In the prince's memories, his mother was portrayed as a noble and elegant woman who remained unyielding even in adversity—a significant influence on him. Therefore, even though it was just one scene, selecting an actress for the empress role was very strict. Sheng Qingxi specifically invited an award-winning actress for a cameo role, whose fee amounted to one-fourth of the entire crew's budget.
"Assistant, Sister Yingmei can't make it; she doesn't have time." The Assistant Director said with a grimace to Sheng Qingxi. Huang Yingmei was supposed to join the production yesterday, but now they were scheduled to shoot her scenes today. The Assistant Director called to urge her, only to receive news that she had changed her mind, leaving him extremely frustrated.
"Can't make it?" Sheng Qingxi's anger flared up. "If she can't make it, why didn't she notify us earlier? Or is our production too small to accommodate such a big star?"
