Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

Ji Yun worked tirelessly and in just half a month, the filming schedule was nearly halfway through.

An abandoned train station in the JS district of Shanghai.

Ji Yun arrived at the filming location early—a few abandoned green train carriages next to the platform.

They checked the lighting and set design, and confirmed the actors' positions.

"Hello, Director." The girl's signature sheep-like voice rang out from behind.

Ji Yun turned around, and standing behind her was a female celebrity that the audience was quite familiar with—Yang Mi.

She wore a denim jacket, jeans, and Doc Martens today, looking quite neat and innocent, a far cry from her future sexy style.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, revealing her beautiful features. She had a slender figure and long, straight legs, making her a dashing and heroic beauty.

"Hello, Sister Mi." Ji Yun extended her hand in greeting.

Yang Mi's gaze lingered on Ji Yun for a few moments before she suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Are you really Liu's... boyfriend?"

"......" Is this woman really that gossipy?

"Don't be shy, I know her very well." Yang Mi smiled with her eyes narrowed, revealing her signature fox-like eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yun automatically conjured up the infamous image that would later go viral: Liu Yifei and the girl holding the umbrella. Although Yang Mi herself was quite unhappy about it.

"It's fake, I haven't seen her in a long time," Ji Yun said truthfully.

Since the last incident, Liu Yifei has been confined to her home, only able to occasionally sneak a text message to him during work breaks. However, today is the day her scenes begin filming, so she should arrive soon.

Just then, a motorhome drove into the campsite.

After the car stopped, the door opened, and a girl jumped out excitedly, spreading her arms wide with a triumphant expression, as if she had been liberated.

"Liu Yifei..." A woman with a charming demeanor slowly walked down from behind, and said softly when she saw Liu Yifei frolicking about.

Liu Yifei instantly composed herself, reverting to her obedient demeanor, but her big eyes darted around, and when they locked onto Ji Yun not far away, she burst into a smile.

She had just lifted her foot to run over and say hello when she remembered the big devil behind her, so she immediately straightened her face and walked steadily toward Ji Yun.

"Director Ji, it's been a long time," Liu Yifei said seriously.

Ji Yun suppressed a smile and politely replied, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Liu."

"Yes, it's all for work," Liu Yifei said solemnly.

Yang Mi, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

How did these two get into this rumored romance? They don't seem to know each other very well.

"It's been a long time, Consort Yi." Cai Yinong arrived at some point, followed by Hu Ge, who seemed completely unaware of the situation.

"President Cai," Liu Yifei nodded, then said to Lao Hu, "You've recovered well, you're still very handsome."

Hu Ge's gaze lingered on President Cai, and seeing that she didn't react in any particular way, he finally felt relieved and smiled at Liu Yifei, saying, "The Forbidden Kingdom is very popular now. Congratulations, international star."

……

"President Ji, what good luck!" Cai Yinong said to Ji Yun with a gloomy expression. "The timing of the incident in Hong Kong a few days ago was really coincidental, it just happened to free up Lao Hu for you. It shouldn't have been you who did it, right?"

When she recalled Ji Yun's confident promise to let Hu Ge make a cameo appearance at the beginning of the month, she showed a suspicious expression. Could it be that he was behind this?

"Slander! I've always only loved videos. It can only be said that fate is on my side!" Ji Yun declared righteously!

"You should think about how to deal with 'Red Cliff' first; they've got their eyes on you," Cai Yinong said.

Thanks to the verbal battle that took place half a month ago, Ji Yun and his movie have become incredibly popular.

A madman who dares to challenge someone with 500 million to a 6 million one.

Almost every few days, nosy reporters would ask other celebrities to take sides. It was obvious that no one sided with Ji Yun.

But this also propelled his popularity to near that of top-tier actors. Although he's no longer in the entertainment industry, his legend lives on everywhere within it.

Ji Yun hasn't even debuted yet, but she's already an enemy to everyone in the entertainment industry, making her arguably the number one person in the entertainment industry facing adversity.

He is known by various nicknames, including "Liu Yifei's rumored boyfriend," "King of Criticism" who can verbally break down top industry veterans, and "Victorious Fighting Buddha."

Ji Yun didn't care. He didn't take those scoundrels seriously. At least now, no one dared to mess with him.

But this aggressive approach terrified Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang; if it weren't for the contract, they would have both wanted to run away.

However, Ji Yun promised that when the movie was being promoted and released, his name would be written in the largest font while their names would be written in smaller font, and that they wouldn't have to appear on TV shows to promote it, which finally managed to appease them.

"Let's get started!" Ji Yun announced loudly.

The crew immediately got to work, and everything was harmonious. After that argument, the crew members immediately became obedient, frightened into following Ji Yun's every word.

"Director, there's something I don't understand about today's scenes," Liu Yifei said to Ji Yun.

"What could a cameo role possibly not understand?" Ji Yun said, puzzled.

Liu Yifei quickly scanned the room and pulled Ji Yun into a corner.

Before Ji Yun could even speak, she grabbed him and gave him a hard kiss on the cheek.

"Have you missed me?" she asked with a grin.

"Be mindful of the impact; this is a film crew," Ji Yun said sternly.

He noticed that this girl looked extremely innocent, but she always liked to do exciting things, which was too dangerous. He didn't want his company to be vandalized.

"Oh." Liu Yifei reluctantly let go. "I missed you. Mommy won't let me go out lately, I'm so bored. When are you done with your work?"

"I don't have time to mess around now. It'll have to wait until after the New Year at the earliest."

"After the New Year... how about we travel abroad?" Liu Yifei's eyes shone brightly.

"Your mother would agree?" Ji Yun asked in surprise.

"Just say we're going to America," Liu Yifei said casually.

"We'll see." Ji Yun has been quite busy lately.

His 730 million has already arrived, and the other 300 million will be here soon. I heard that Gao Yuanyuan has already arrived in Shanghai and will be coming to see him soon. He will then need to go to the bank to find an investment manager to help him with the transactions.

"Oh, let's go together." Liu Yifei pouted and clung to his hand like a little girl, acting coquettishly.

"Senior Sister," Xiao Zhao's voice rang out.

Ji Yun regained consciousness; it was Liu Shishi who had arrived.

Goodness, both Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaolu are here. Plus Zhao Liying and Yang Mi, the four most popular actresses born in 85 are all here today.

"Stop messing around, people are coming! Don't give yourself away, I don't want to get yelled at again," Ji Yun threatened.

"I didn't do it on purpose." Liu Yifei let go of Ji Yun's hand, gave up, and obediently followed her out.

But his gaze began to sweep over the people in the film crew.

That little assistant is petite with a round face, and quite cute. That female secretary is so pretty, and she looks kind of familiar. Her posture and demeanor are amazing; she moves with light steps and a stable core, clearly she has a background in dance.

Liu Yifei looked at Ji Yun with suspicion in her eyes.

Why are all his staff members so beautiful?

Liu Shishi's gaze immediately locked onto Liu Yifei, her eyes piercing like needles.

The image of her ex-boyfriend publicly professing his love for her man flashed through her mind, instantly igniting her anger.

Ignoring Liu Yifei's curious gaze, she carried the lunchbox to Ji Yun's side and said, "Look, you haven't had breakfast yet today."

After speaking, he glanced at Liu Yifei almost imperceptibly, and began to show his provocation.
