167: Chapter 167 Yang Mi's Purpose

"Sister Mi... don't listen to his nonsense. I just haven't seen him in a long time and got a bit excited."

Wang Bo explained hurriedly, fearing Yang Mi would hold a grudge and call him an ungrateful wolf.

Yang Mi was all smiles, knowing this was just a joke between brothers and didn't take it to heart at all.

"Young Master Ping, thank you for the information you gave me last time. It helped me solve a big problem. Thank you!"

She paused for a moment before changing the subject. "Since you're worried our company is bullying Wang Bo, why don't you find some time tomorrow to swing by and see how we treat him?"

"Many female stars in our company are fans of yours and want to take a photo with you."

Chen Shaoping was speechless; Yang Mi's tongue was truly unforgiving.

If she kept going, it would be hard for him to avoid a fight with Zhang Ying even if he wanted to.

Chen Shaoping stole a glance at Zhang Ying, and seeing she had no reaction, his heart relaxed a bit.

"You're welcome, Sister Mimi. You also paid a high enough reward, far exceeding my expectations."

"What I meant just now was that your training for Wang Bo isn't harsh enough. He actually still has the energy to complain to me..."

"I suggest you only give him four hours of sleep a day; that's enough."

Yang Mi let out a 'pfft' laugh, then her face showed an 'I understand' expression. "Young Master Ping, I will seriously consider your suggestion."

"Sister Mi, the current study plan is quite good. There's no need to change it randomly, right?"

Wang Bo really wanted to curse these two evil capitalists, but facing Yang Mi, he still squeezed out a smile.

Then, he pleaded with Chen Shaoping, clasping his hands together. "Da Ping, my life is already bitter enough. Don't go adding fuel to the fire..."

"Alright, everyone talk less and hurry up and eat."

"If you want to chat, we can do it slowly after eating."

Zhang Ying stepped in to smooth things over. At the rate they were talking, there was no telling when this meal would end.

"Okay!"

"Alright, Sister Ying."

Yang Mi subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ying and suddenly felt a bit of regret.

Why hadn't she gotten her divorce sooner? If she had, she could have competed with Zhang Ying.

Back when she first met Chen Shaoping, he and Zhang Ying didn't seem to be together yet.

If she had been single then, she might have had a chance.

Unlike now, where he already had an impeccable Diva by his side.

She cursed Niu Wei inwardly. That stinking man had not only wasted her youth but also blocked a good marriage for her.

Yang Mi's heart was very conflicted now.

When she wasn't seeing Chen Shaoping, she was a bit afraid, but after seeing him, she wanted to get closer.

The two girls, Zhang Ying and Yang Mi, ate little and were finished soon.

The three men, including Chen Shaoping, were still eating.

Wang Bo and Chen Shaoping were even constantly fighting over the mutton.

Their chopsticks were frequently tangled together.

Their mouths also never stopped bickering.

Zhou Bule silently stuffed all the meat into his own stomach.

He was completely unaffected by the two of them.

"Young Master Ping, after National Day, 'three lives, three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms' will start filming. Could you come and attend on the opening day?"

Yang Mi spoke in a pleading tone, worried that Chen Shaoping would disagree.

Chen Shaoping swallowed the mutton in his mouth. "Sister Mi, there's no point in me going. The script is so detailed; just film according to it."

"And I believe you can handle it."

"It's not about the script. I want you to help screen the actors to see if there are any criminals or morally corrupt actors among them."

"If there really are, it would be great to root them out before filming starts."

Chen Shaoping finally caught the drift. He was certain that the main reason Yang Mi followed Wang Bo here today was to talk about this.

Expressing gratitude was only secondary.

This put Chen Shaoping in a difficult position. Besides having dirt on Yang Mi, he really didn't have anything on the others.

If he really showed up and an actor's reputation collapsed later, how would he explain it to Yang Mi?

"Sister Mimi, I can go, but let's skip the actor screening task."

"How would I know who has problems? However, if I do find someone with an issue, I'll definitely notify you immediately."

Yang Mi thought about it and felt Chen Shaoping's words made sense. If he knew the situation of every actor, wouldn't he be a god?

"Fine. As you say."

After the group finished eating, they chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Wang Bo left with Yang Mi; he was currently living in Jiaxing Media's artist apartments.

The treatment was truly not bad.

Chen Shaoping's group of three returned to the hotel.

Zhang Ying had just finished her shower, and Chen Shaoping was blow-drying her hair.

Looking at the items she had thrown in the bathroom trash can, Chen Shaoping knew he could only sleep behave tonight.

"Hubby, why was Yang Mi thanking you?" Zhang Ying suddenly asked.

Chen Shaoping had a mischievous grin as he teased, "Wife, I thought you could hold back and never ask me, but you've already held it in for so long. Not bad, not bad."

While speaking, the movements of his hands didn't stop.

"Go on with you. I just want to know what kind of information is worth as much as four million?"

"It's nothing. Just that Yang Mi is divorcing her husband, and I provided her with some dirt on him. She got a great deal during the property division."

Zhang Ying's heart skipped a beat, sensing a crisis. "So... so she's single now?"

Chen Shaoping shook his head. "I don't know if her divorce was successful, but seeing how happy she was today, it probably was."

"Oh..."

Once her hair was dry, the two embraced and went to sleep.

Chen Shaoping's hands were honest and didn't move around.

In Zhang Ying's mind, the image of Yang Mi smiling at Chen Shaoping and her gorgeous figure kept surfacing.

At this moment, she felt that her boyfriend being too talented wasn't necessarily a good thing.

It easily attracted bees and butterflies.

She had heard Li Qian say that if you want your boyfriend to be devoted to you, you must serve him well.

She shyly buried her head in Chen Shaoping's chest, her hands starting to wander over his body.

"Wife, what are you doing? Didn't your period come today?"

"Can't we just use a different way?"

"Will this affect your singing rehearsal tomorrow?"

"No."

"Mm-hmm, ah..."

...

Waking up in the morning, Chen Shaoping gave a big stretch, feeling refreshed.

Zhang Ying was brushing her teeth, bubbles coming from her mouth. "Hubby, if you're sleepy, sleep a bit longer. I can go by myself; it's not far anyway."

"I'm not tired. You were much more tired than me last night." Chen Shaoping had a cheeky grin and even gave Zhang Ying a wink.

"Get lost. If you're going, hurry up and wash up. I'm only waiting ten minutes for you." Zhang Ying said with a stern face.

"Alright, guaranteed to be done in ten minutes."

Chen Shaoping sat on the toilet, looking at his phone. "Wife, Zhou Bule went ahead, and Wang Bo has arrived too."

"Yeah, then hurry up."

Forty minutes later, after Chen Shaoping and Zhang Ying had breakfast and arrived at the CCTV Tower, many people were already rehearsing.

It was as if they hadn't rested since yesterday.

Director Dai saw Zhang Ying coming and immediately said, "Teacher Zhang Ying, go put on some simple makeup first. Today we'll do a run-through in formal wear."

"Okay."

While Zhang Ying went to do her makeup and change, Chen Shaoping went to Stage 2 by himself.
