After ninety-nine online romances, I finally met my ex in person when school started.

Everyone in the crew held their breath, their eyes fixed on Zhu Xunchuan.

Ten million in cash—let alone a young person who looks like they're still in college, even many CEOs of listed companies would find it difficult to mobilize such a large amount of working capital in just a few minutes.

Zhu Xun Chuan didn't even glance at Wang Jianye's distorted face. He reached out and gently pulled the lambskin jacket draped over Su Mu Cheng's shoulders tighter.

Su Mucheng looked up, her eyes red-rimmed. She reached out her delicate white hands and gripped Zhu Xun Chuan's clothes tightly, her voice trembling, "Brother Chuan, don't pay attention to him, let's call the police..."

Zhu Xun Chuan patted the back of her hand. He turned around, his gaze passing through the scattered peach blossom props and locking onto the middle-aged man huddled behind the camera.

"Are you the director?" Zhu Xun Chuan asked in a low, indifferent voice.

The director shuddered, his baseball cap nearly falling off. He swallowed hard, straightened up shakily, and nodded.

"Give me the production crew's company account information."

The director was stunned. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Wang Jianye, who was still clutching his dislocated wrist and panting heavily, but didn't dare to say a word.

Zhu Xun Chuan took half a step forward.

[Perfect Aura Halo] activated at full power. An absolute pressure from a superior directly enveloped the area.

The director's legs went weak, and his mental defenses crumbled instantly. He beckoned to the crew's finance person hiding in the back: "Quick... bring the cash register and the company account!"

The finance officer, a round-faced girl who had recently graduated, was so startled that she ran forward carrying a wireless POS machine.

Wang Jianye sneered from the side: "Keep pretending! You think ten million is some kind of ghost money from the Bank of Heaven and Earth? I'll see what you're going to use to pay today!"

Zhu Xun Chuan didn't waste any words. He reached into his pocket with one hand and pulled out a pure black metal card with two fingers.

The card has no complicated patterns, only a centurion's head in gold foil.

He casually tossed the card onto the POS machine that the finance girl was holding.

"Swipe, ten million. No password."

The finance girl nearly dropped the machine when she saw the legendary black gold card. She frantically entered ten million, then lightly swiped the card on the side of the sensor.

The machine has started connecting to the network.

Wang Jianye's fleshy face was still twitching, his eyes fixed on the small machine.

"drop......"

A long transaction slip was ejected from the top of the machine.

Immediately afterwards, the finance girl's work phone, which was in her pocket, emitted an extremely crisp voice announcement. This sound was amplified countless times in the deathly silent film set.

"Your corporate account ending in 4588 has received a cross-bank transfer of RMB 10,000,000.00. Current available balance..."

The entire room fell silent.

The wind blew through the dilapidated peach grove, swirling up a few pink artificial petals.

The sinister smile on Wang Jianye's face froze completely. His mouth was slightly open, but no sound came out.

They actually pulled out ten million. Without batting an eye, without even a phone call. This level of cash flow mobilization ability represents terrifying financial power, enough to crush ten Star Shine Entertainment companies.

Zhu Xun Chuan reached out and pulled out the black gold card, then put it back in his pocket. He turned his head and looked down at Wang Jianye.

"No need for Grandpa, I can't afford to lose face." Zhu Xun Chuan put his hands in his casual pants pockets, his tone icy cold. "Go back and take your withdrawal agreement to the finance department to settle the accounts. From now on, I'll cover all the expenses for this production crew."

Cold sweat trickled down Wang Jianye's forehead, running down his Mediterranean-style hair.

"Who...who are you?" He clutched his dislocated wrist, his voice hoarse.

"You're not worthy to know who I am." Zhu Xun Chuan stepped forward and patted Wang Jianye's greasy face. "Take your men and get out of here. If I ever see you yelling at my girl again, I'll make sure you can only eat liquid food through straws for the rest of your life."

In fact, Zhu Xunchuan really wanted to dismantle Xinghui Entertainment, but he only had money, no power or influence, so he couldn't very well go and find the other big shots.

If people find out that I'm helping Su Mucheng, I'll be the first one to be torn apart!

Wang Jianye's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground. Having been in the business world for many years, he knew he had met his match.

"Go...go quickly!" Wang Jianye scrambled out of the film set without looking back, supported by several bodyguards in black.

Lin Yuan stood on the perimeter, watching Wang Jianye's retreating figure, his body trembling with excitement. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Godfather is mighty!"

The sound broke the silence on set.

The system panel flashed through Zhu Xunchuan's mind like crazy.

"Ding! High concentration of worship sentiment detected (Source: Entire crew)!"

"Worship Points +100!"

"Worship Points +200!"

"Worship Points +150!"

The balance in the upper right corner skyrocketed, breaking through the three thousand mark.

Among the crowd, Assistant Sister Song, who had been on guard the whole time, was now utterly shocked.

She had always thought Zhu Xun Chuan was just a handsome but poor college student who would negatively impact Su Mu Cheng's career. Every time she saw Su Mu Cheng secretly sending messages, she earnestly advised Su Mu Cheng to face reality and not be fooled by a pretty boy.

just now.

Ten million in cash was thrown out in front of him. This isn't some gigolo; this is clearly a powerful, influential figure!

Sister Song's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. She jogged forward in her high heels, her face practically overflowing with flattery and respect.

"Young Master Zhu!" Sister Song bowed deeply, her hands nervously rubbing together in front of her. "We really owe you a lot just now. Mu Cheng is so lucky to have you protecting her. I knew you were no ordinary person long ago."

Zhu Xun Chuan gave her a cold glance.

"The person I had my eye on almost ended up being taken to a yacht to work as a hostess under your watch," Zhu Xun Chuan said emotionlessly. "Is this how you act as an assistant? And where's her manager? I haven't seen her at all."

Sister Song turned pale with fright and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Young Master Zhu, you're absolutely right! It's my fault for being useless and failing to stop that bastard. From now on, I'll stay by Mu Cheng's side every step of the way. If anyone in the crew dares to give Mu Cheng a hard time, I'll be the first to fight them to the death!"

"Sister Xie has been very busy lately, working on a film. Sister Xie dotes on Mu Cheng, you can ask Mu Cheng about it."

Zhu Xun Chuan ignored her and turned to look at Su Mu Cheng.

Su Mucheng was still standing there. The large lambskin jacket draped over her body made her look even more delicate and pitiful.

But the way she looked at Zhu Xun Chuan had completely changed.

If her feelings for Zhu Xunchuan at the hotel before were a lingering attachment from an online relationship and an infatuation stemming from their first taste of forbidden fruit, now, her eyes are filled only with an intense, overwhelming adoration and love.

This man descended upon her when she was most desperate and helpless. In the most domineering and unparalleled way, he utterly crushed those who tried to taint her.

Ignoring the dozens of eyes of the surrounding crew, Su Mucheng lifted her elaborate skirt, put on her embroidered ancient-style shoes, and threw herself directly into Zhu Xunchuan's arms.

Her fair arms wrapped tightly around Zhu Xun Chuan's neck, her legs slightly raised on tiptoe.

"Brother Chuan..." She raised her charming face, her eyes filled with such deep affection that they were almost dripping with tears, "You were so handsome just now that my legs went weak."

Zhu Xun Chuan chuckled softly, and casually wrapped one arm around her slender waist. His fingers gently caressed the thin gauze dress.

"Ten million for a compliment from you? That's a bad deal." Zhu Xun Chuan lowered his head, his nose almost touching hers. "You're just going to thank me verbally?"

Two blushes rose on Su Mucheng's cheeks, the color spreading all the way to her ears.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes glistening with tears. Her small hand slid down Zhu Xun Chuan's chest, finally gently tugging at the edge of his belt, her fingers circling around it.

"There are too many people here..." Su Mucheng's voice was soft and sweet, with a charmingly naive quality that made one's bones melt. She muttered softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother Chuan, how about we go to my private RV... I'll lock the door, and I'll thank you however you want."
