Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

When the staff at the villa saw Chen Siyu enter, they assumed he was one of the main actors, since the fifth main actor in this tokusatsu series hadn't appeared yet.

"Brother Chen."

"Brother Yu."

As the staff passed by, they even greeted Chen Siyu, showing they knew the rules of survival on set.

The personal assistant glanced at them sideways, looking completely indifferent, while Chen Siyu smiled and nodded at them. In contrast, Chen Siyu seemed much more amiable, which was why he liked to have a personal assistant with him.

The arrival of the new staff member at Heroic Spirit made Chen Siyu even more certain that this was a poorly paid production crew. He figured that once the director saw him, he would have to fawn over him and beg him to make a cameo appearance in the show. He only needed to give the director a slight hint, and the director would understand what he meant.

The two entered the second floor one after the other. The barbecue grill had just been set up, and some people were preparing ingredients, some were preparing charcoal, and others were preparing various seasonings. Everyone was busy with their own tasks and did not notice Chen Siyu's arrival.

"Ahem!" The personal assistant coughed twice with a long face, trying to get the people's attention.

Liu Zhongze and Chen Fengqi looked up and, upon seeing Chen Siyu, lost interest and buried themselves in their work.

Zhang Xia recognized Chen Siyu and exclaimed, "Oh! Chen Siyu, a top actor in short dramas? What brings you here? Is there anything I can do for you?"

He Qian heard Zhang Xia speaking, and her thick glasses almost fell off. She reached out and pushed them up with the back of her hand. After seeing who was talking to Xia, she silently lowered her head, pretending that she didn't know anything.

Chen Siyu smiled and looked at Zhang Xia: "You must be the director? I didn't expect you to be a female director, and so young and accomplished at that."

Zhang Xia originally wanted to explain, but after hearing Chen Siyu's compliment in the second half of her sentence, she felt it wouldn't hurt to let her good friend share in her glory, so she didn't deny it. Instead, she asked, "I really didn't expect to meet you here. Can we take a picture together? I'll post it on my WeChat Moments."

Just as the personal assistant was about to speak, Chen Siyu cut her off. He walked up to Zhang Xia, struck what he thought was a cool pose, and took a photo with her.

Since this director was willing to take a photo with me, it means he's at least a fan of mine, which makes it much easier to take action against Liu Zhongze.

Thinking of this, Chen Siyu's smile became even brighter and more genuine.

Little did she know that after taking the photo, Zhang Xia secretly sent it to her cousin. She was still considering the future genes of her second uncle's family. No matter who the man was, they could mix in the genes of her second uncle's family, as long as the child didn't look like their mother.

Of course, if my cousin manages to snag a handsome guy, then the genetic issue will be even easier to resolve. My cousin won't listen to her mother anymore and keep an eye on me every day. Instead, she'll become a loyal spy that my cousin has planted in her mother's backyard!

Zhang Xia's lips curled up, and her smile became genuine. She asked with concern, "Siyu, are you married?"

The personal assistant gave a cold laugh, and you could read a few words from her hidden micro-expressions: a toad trying to eat swan meat!

Chen Siyu is good at handling such issues. He said, "No, I'm still single. But I'm focusing on my career right now. I'll consider marriage when I meet the right person."

He was clever; he neither made any definitive statements nor explicitly refused. He simply said that his current focus was on his career, thus cultivating an image of a dedicated professional, while not rejecting others' advances.

In Chen Siyu's eyes, this female director was likely trying to sexually harass him. If it were a film that belonged to him, he might agree, but if they were just trying to disgust Liu Zhongze without any collaboration, that would be a different story.

"Shall I introduce someone to you?" Zhang Xia asked casually, not holding out much hope.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Siyu nodded and said happily, "Sure, but..."

When he got to the last few words, he put on a wronged look. If someone skilled in acting observed his micro-expressions and body language, they could tell that he was lying.

Zhang Xia asked with concern, "But what?"

"Oh, please don't laugh at me if I tell you this, sister."

Zhang Xia stared at Chen Siyu curiously and assured him, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. I even want to build a deeper relationship with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Siyu and his personal assistant chuckled inwardly. One thought they could kick Liu Zhongze out of the game and disgust him, while the other thought Zhang Xia was overestimating herself, as Chen Siyu's gaze was always fixed on young girls.

Chen Siyu leaned close to Zhang Xia's ear and said in a soft, slightly coquettish tone, "My brother had a role taken from me by someone in your crew using their connections. It was just a small role, but my brother still finds it hard to swallow."

He Qian glanced at Zhang Xia and noticed that Zhang Xia had goosebumps on the back of her neck.

Zhang Xia quietly moved away from Chen Siyu and asked in the same low voice, "Who is it? Do I know them?"

Women are so easy to fool. I've barely opened my mouth and they're already eager to help me solve my problem. If it weren't for the fact that I'd missed the best time to make my move, what's wrong with letting you have your way with me?

Chen Siyu secretly gloated and pointed at Liu Zhongze, who was preparing barbecue ingredients next to him, and said, "That's him. I heard he's also gay and has a big reputation in the gay community in Chongqing. He's practically their saint. Whenever any shady news about Liu Zhongze is posted on Xiaofanshu, the comments are all from those Chongqing 'lolis'."

"What? You came here specifically to get revenge on Liu Zhongze because he stole a role from you? You even posted several negative posts on Xiaofanshu. Did you not offer the bounty? Oh, I remember now, Xiaofanshu only offers bounties, not rewards!"

Zhang Xia's voice was very loud; almost everyone present could hear her.

Chen Siyu's face immediately turned red, and her personal assistant quickly surrounded her, angrily rebuking her: "What nonsense are you spouting, you little director? My brother was just exchanging a few words with you, and you're already smearing him like this? Believe me, I'll immediately post you on my brother's social media and have everyone boycott your new movie!"

Chen Feng perked up, stopped working, and stood up for Liu Zhongze, saying, "You guys have so much power, trying to pull that blacklist thing? Do you really think the internet age is a joke? Your acting skills can't compare to Lao Liu's, and he took the role from you, so you come here to retaliate. You don't even know who our director is, yet you dare to spout nonsense here!"

Chen Fengqi, who is usually cheeky, was full of the chivalrous spirit of the people of Dongjiang at this moment. His height of 1.84 meters made him look as tall as 2 meters.
