Under the professional guidance of a director with top-notch skills, Bai Li managed to film several episodes in a single day, leading a few energetic young women.

It was 8 p.m.

The machines were turned off, and the fluorescent lights inside the greenhouse were turned on.

It was finally time to wrap up work and have dinner.

At the simple folding table set up by the film crew, six girls and two grown men sat together, wolfing down their twelve-yuan boxed lunches.

Even after a full day of work, the energetic young woman maintains tremendous vitality.

Li Mengmeng and Jiang Ruyue were very happy to have guest-starred in two different roles in the drama.

With this novel experience, everyone was excitedly chattering away.

Chen Tingting picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her red hair swaying as she chewed.

"Damn it! This is what working like this is!"

"I used to work as a network administrator at an internet cafe and tighten screws in an electronics factory. I was exhausted by the end of the day, like a dog, and there was no joy in it at all!"

Li Jiaxin, wearing hot pants, dangled her long legs under the table, eating her rice while agreeing with others:

"Absolutely."

"Mainly because my older brother stayed with us the whole day. Time flew by!"

Lin Xiaoshuang's cheeks puffed out, and her eyes shone as she nodded repeatedly.

This adorable blonde girl is now full of energy.

Zhang Qian bit the end of her chopsticks, her blue hair hanging down in front of her full chest.

She deliberately drew out her slightly seductive voice, pressing her body closer to Bai Li:

"Yes, this class was great for me."

"Hugging and cuddling with your older brother, and you can even make money!"

This blatant attempt to take advantage of Bai Li drew eye-rolls from the other girls.

Bai Li finished the last bite of rice and put down his chopsticks:

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around."

"That's all for today, everyone can go home."

The girls cheered as they went to the changing room to change into their everyday clothes.

Bai Li took a tissue to wipe her mouth, walked to the control room where Wang Wei was, and patted his broad, chubby shoulders.

Wang Wei's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the editing tracks on the two screens without even looking up.

"Brother Li, you take your wives and go first. I'll finish the rough cut of these episodes before I go back."

Bai Li frowned.

There's a huge amount of footage to shoot today; this fat guy is clearly planning to stay up all night.

"There's no need to push yourself so hard." Bai Li leaned against the edge of the table, her tone calm:

"Just editing the clips will take until at least tomorrow morning, not to mention adding subtitles and storyboarding. Time to pack up and go home to sleep."

"No way." Wang Wei grabbed the Red Bull next to him and took two big gulps.

"You've invested so much money, the equipment and facilities are all top-notch."

"I won't feel at ease until I get these things done as soon as possible."

Bai Li knew all too well what his brother was thinking right now.

My ex-girlfriend of three years ran off with someone else, taking everything with her, including the underwear from my old studio.

Wang Wei is trying to numb his nerves by working himself to the bone, so that he won't have time to think about those trivial matters.

Bai Li reached out and pressed the mouse, forcibly stopping Wang Wei's dragging action.

"Alright, these are not tasks that can be accomplished overnight."

Bai Li stared at Wang Wei's evasive eyes:

"Take your time, don't rush."

"You need to rest when you need to. Life goes on, and time will give you the answer."

"Besides, you've always been lucky, haven't you?"

Wang Wei's eyes reddened when he heard this.

He rubbed his face and laughed self-deprecatingly:

"Yeah, I'm really lucky, bro."

"Pinduoduo sent me a pop-up message yesterday telling me that I am the luckiest person in the world."

The words had barely left his mouth when he said them.

The phone next to the computer keyboard suddenly rang.

The screen lights up, and the caller ID shows a number with no placeholder information.

Wang Wei glanced at the string of numbers and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

His chubby hands, holding the Red Bull can, were trembling.

Bai Li witnessed all of this:

"What's wrong, Fatty? Whose number is this?"

Wang Wei's eyes were bloodshot and red, his teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding, and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth:

"That bitch's white moonlight."

The moment those words were uttered, the atmosphere changed instantly.

A while ago, this man treated Wang Wei like a fool, trampling on his dignity to take away his ex-girlfriend Zhao Min.

Bai Li placed his hand on Wang Wei's back and patted him twice.

"Don't get excited. You're doing well now, and the days of making big money are yet to come. Remember, I've got your back."

"Answer the call, put it on speakerphone, and see what he's up to."

Wang Wei took a couple of deep breaths, and with trembling fingers, he swiped the answer button and turned on speakerphone.

A male voice came from the speakers:

"Feed? I'm Ai Tianbi."

"You're Minmin's ex-boyfriend, right?"

Wang Wei's suppressed anger surged to his head, and he unleashed a torrent of curses into the microphone:

"It's your father! What's wrong, son?"

There was a cold laugh on the other end of the phone:

"You have such low manners."

"Minmin is probably at the Atlantis Bar right now. Why don't you go and see her?"

These words immediately broke Wang Wei's defenses.

It's one thing to come here and flaunt your power, but to act like a pet that can be summoned and dismissed at will?

"I'll get my ass kicked!" Wang Wei roared at his phone screen, his eyes bloodshot.

Ai Tianbi's tone was full of superiority, condescendingly sarcastic:

"Heh, weren't you her most loyal lapdog before?"

"You should be happy that I'm letting you see her one more time today."

Hearing this utterly disgusting rhetoric of charity, Wang Wei turned to look at Bai Li beside him.

With Brother Li backing me up, I felt incredibly confident.

"Who the hell has a name like yours?!" Wang Wei completely let loose, his curses echoing throughout the entire broadcast area.

"You're fucking born for this!"

The breathing on the phone was erratic.

Wang Wei didn't give the other party a chance to retaliate at all, spitting onto the screen:

"You care about her so much! Isn't she your ideal woman? I'm telling you today, I'm not going to see her!"

"I'm going to do my handicrafts while looking at her picture when I get home tonight!" Wang Wei cursed, feeling increasingly relieved.

"Hehe, she's a nightmare in my mind! And you have to keep an eye on her..."

After uttering his last curse, Wang Wei slammed down the red hang-up button.

Then, Wang Wei opened the call log, preparing to blacklist Ai Tianbi.

Just as the thumb was about to fall.

A new text message popped up at the top of the screen.

The sender was none other than Ai Tianbi from earlier.

Bai Li was close enough that both of them could see the short line of text at the same time.

The message was short, but extremely impactful.

She's pregnant. I don't know if it's yours or mine. I'm going over there now, I'll wait for you.
