Chapter 414: Chapter 412 What Are You Laughing At_1

"Hiss—"

The trainees suddenly realized they had spoken out of turn and immediately dared not say another word.

Yes, they were just small trainees after all. To their wealthy benefactor, snuffing them out would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Outside the door, Xia Ningxing, who hadn’t gone far, heard this and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

She’s keeping herself?

But it seems, that’s indeed the case!

emmm!

At this moment, just as Lu Fan finished signing the contract with Ji Haichuan, he arrived and happened to overhear the conversation.

Lu Fan’s face darkened at once and he spoke to Xia Ningxing in a low voice, "I’ll take care of those chatterboxes."

Such people, even if they made it into the industry, wouldn’t last long.

Better to cut them off now rather than leaving them be only to cause offense later on.

"You handle it. No need to involve me in such trivial matters."

Xia Ningxing patted his shoulder, leaving the matter entirely to him.

Lu Fan nodded.

In the afternoon, during an assessment among the trainees, many were eliminated. Those who had spoken ill of Xia Ningxing behind her back were, without exception, all dismissed.

It was clear to anyone with a brain that this had something to do with the wealthy backing behind Xia Ningxing.

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh and secretly vowed not to offend Xia Ningxing, or else they wouldn’t even know how they met their end.

...

When it was time to leave work, Lu Tingli personally drove to pick up Xia Ningxing.

As soon as Xia Ningxing got in the car, Lu Tingli handed her a piece of cake.

Blueberry flavor, Xia Ningxing’s favorite.

"Thank you, Lu! You really are the best, best man in the world!"

"To be your girlfriend would be the honor of a lifetime for me!"

Xia Ningxing complimented him extravagantly while taking the cake.

Lu Tingli, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, looked at her face. A gentle expression formed as he lifted a stray lock of hair from her cheek to behind her ear and asked with a smile, "How’s the movie preparation going?"

"The actors have been selected, now we’re just waiting on the script. Once the script is finalized, we can start shooting right away," said Xia Ningxing, holding the blueberry cake and nibbling on it like a little squirrel.

Lu Tingli couldn’t help but ponder for a moment, "Is the person revising the script for this drama that girl named Ruan or something?"

He said it with a look in his eyes that suggested he was contemplating something.

Xia Ningxing nodded and reminded him, "Lu, her name is Ruan Ruanruan."

"No need to specifically tell me her name," Lu Tingli said with a slight turn of his head, looking into her clear eyes with a serious countenance. "Because aside from you, I don’t need to remember any other woman’s name."

!!!

Xia Ningxing’s lips twitched slightly.

This classic line from the overbearing boss.

It really breaks the immersion!

Hahaha!

"Why are you laughing?" Lu Tingli asked, frowning at her reaction. Was there something wrong with what he just said?

Xia Ningxing blinked and retorted with a question, "Lu, have you read those overbearing boss novels from the future?"

Lu Tingli’s brows knitted together, "No, why?"

He was busy making money every minute of the day, how could he possibly have time for such things.

"Your tone just now was so very ’overbearing boss’!" Xia Ningxing said while giving him a thumbs up.

Lu Tingli was silent for a moment before responding, "I am the overbearing boss."

"..."

Well, that’s true!

He was an overbearing boss to begin with, so what’s the problem with using the classic lines of an overbearing boss?

Lu Tingli scratched her nose and then asked, "So, you’re sure about taking the lead role now?"

"Absolutely!" Xia Ningxing nodded vigorously.

"Good."

Lu Tingli curved his lips upward. It seemed he needed to contact Ruan Ruanruan.

That evening.

Ruan Ruanruan, who was burning the midnight oil at home working on a script, received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello? Who is this?"

She put the call on speaker and tossed it aside, picking up her pen to continue working on her script.

"Lu Tingli."

The moment his name was uttered, Ruan Ruanruan nearly dropped the phone in shock.

What would Xiaxia’s aloof lover want with her?

Ruan Ruanruan swallowed nervously, staring at the phone bewildered before she cautiously asked, "Hello, may I ask what you’re calling about?"

Her heart was in turmoil.

Lu Tingli got straight to the point, "It’s about the script."

"Ah? Does Xiaxia have some new demands regarding the script?" Ruan Ruanruan hurriedly inquired upon hearing it had something to do with the script.

"No," Lu Tingli denied, then continued, "I have demands regarding the script."

Ruan Ruanruan froze: "..."

What business do you have with the script? What kind of demands could you possibly have?

But Ruan Ruanruan quickly understood!!

"Remember, no kissing scenes, no flirtatious scenes... and also, the male and female leads are not allowed to hug, not allowed to hold hands, not allowed to..." Lu Tingli listed a whole bunch of things.

Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but glance at the clock on the desk. He had been talking for half an hour already!

Just how long is this vinegar jar going to keep pouring!

After all this talk, he might as well write it himself!

Ruan Ruanruan really wanted to flip the table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

And then slam the script in his face, yelling at him.

But the reality was...

"Alrighty, as long as Xiaxia agrees, I will definitely make the changes as you command!" Ruan Ruanruan said obsequiously, "I’ll go and ask Xiaxia right now..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ruan Ruanruan heard some noise on Lu Tingli’s end of the call, as if someone had walked in.

Then, she heard Xia Ningxing’s pleasant and charming voice coming through the phone: "Ruanruan, just modify the script according to what Lu said."

"...Okay, Xiaxia!" Ruan Ruanruan eagerly nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but shake her head.

All this dog food, ugh!

However, this also sparked a brilliant idea in Ruan Ruanruan’s mind. She would write an ancient story about power and strategy, inspired by the love affair between Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli!

On the other side.

The Lu Family residence.

Lu Tingli put down the phone, his handsome face showing a trace of embarrassment, looking like a thief who had just been caught.

He couldn’t help but clear his throat, glancing at Xia Ningxing, "When did Baby Xing get here?"

"Since you started the call with Ruanruan to modify the script," Xia Ningxing said with a smile, arms crossed as she looked at him.

Tsk tsk, such jealousy took him by surprise.

"Lu, it’s just a movie, don’t take it too seriously," Xia Ningxing said with a touch of helplessness in her voice.

Lu Tingli sighed and took a long stride forward to pull her into his arms. "I know it’s just a movie, and even if there are kisses and hugs, it’s all just a play for the audience, but I just can’t get over the fact that you’ll be so intimate with another man. It really bothers me..."

He was always laconic, and even after being together so long, Xia Ningxing seldom heard him speak at length.
