nWhen the director heard that Mu Feiran had contacted them, he immediately said they could meet to talk.

n

n

nMost of the time, discussions for movies and dramas were made over meals.

n

n

nA few agreed to meet up over a meal to get to know each other before discussing.

n

n

nMu Feiran went in casual clothes that night.

n

n

nSeeing that the director was around, she smiled and gave her greeting. “Hello everyone. You guys came early. I’m a little late.”

n

n

n“No, no, we arrived early. Take a seat, take a seat.” A few of them got up to welcome Mu Feiran.

n

n

nThe one sitting opposite Mu Feiran was the director, Qin Ran. He looked at her and said, “I didn’t expect that Sister Feiran would be interested after seeing the script.”

n

n

nMu Feiran said, “That’s right. I haven’t played the role of such a bad character before, so I thought of giving it a try.”

n

n

n“This character has distinguishing features as well. We thought it should be someone beautiful, firm and independent, and with her own set of thinking. After seeing the show that you’ve recently attended, we feel that you fit all those characteristics. However, we’re also worried. We have gotten significant investments, but the money paid out to the actors and actresses might not be much. It’s because of all the costumes, props, and the large number of actors and actresses that we might not be able to pay you a high price.”

n

n

nMu Feiran smiled and looked at him, “Director Qin, everyone talks about the remuneration at the end, but you’re sincere to be bringing up the question of the investments right from the beginning.”

n

n

nQin Ran laughed. “We know that your status is there. If we don’t talk about this in advance, it’d be useless even if I were to boast about the other aspects.”

n

n

nMu Feiran looked at them. “I’ll think about it, look at the script, and then look at the other actors and actresses involved.”

n

n

nAlright. All the participating actors and actresses are capable ones. You’ll like them.

n

n

nMu Feiran didn’t want to make things too sure, but looking at them, she felt that they were very dependable.

n

n

nWhen they left, Qin Ran shook hands with Mu Feiran. “I’m already thrilled that you’re able to come. After all, given your worth, it’s quite acceptable that this project won’t interest you. However, I’m still stunned that you came for a meal.”

n

n

nMu Feiran smiled. “I now know that with my status, it’s a must for me to change my stance. No one can be an idol forever, and the most important thing is to find a path that’s suitable for you. Alright, I hope that we’ll have the chance to work together.”

n

n

n“Okay.”

n

n

nAfter going on their separate paths, Mu Feiran’s manager looked at her, her heart aching for her as she walked behind Mu Feiran.

n

n

nTheir Feiran was a heavenly queen, but yet she had to keep on lowering her stance.

n

n

nIt wasn’t that they were pretentious, but many heavenly kings and queens in this circle couldn’t even lower their stance.

n

n

nAfter seeing so many of such cases, they felt that their Feiran worked hard and strived to improve herself.

n

n

nBut why did she become poison to box office ratings?

n

n

n…

n

n

nBlack Eagle was exercising at home.

n

n

nHis men stood upright at the side, watching him.

n

n

nThey watched as Black Eagle did a handstand, leaning his entire body against the wall.

n

n

n“Boss, look at this…”

n

n

nBlack Eagle frowned and turned over, coming off from the wall. He then tugged over the thing his subordinate was holding.

n

n

nBlack Eagle’s countenance turned grim. “How long has it been since this happened?”

n

n

n“It’s been going on for a while. A Nation has been hiding things, but they suddenly let out news now. We don’t know if it’s because they’re prepared and are purposely luring boss over. We’re worried that you’ll be in danger if you were to go, so we were a little hesitant when we received the notice.”

n

n

nAt this moment.

n

n

nMu Feiran came in.

n

n

nShe saw the people in the room.

n

n

nAlthough she was used to having people around, this was the first time that she saw them wearing such grim countenances.

n

n

nShe was stunned as she looked at them. “Did something happen?”

n

n

nThey quickly said, “Sis-in-law, quickly persuade the boss to not go to A Nation.”

n

n

n“A Nation?”

n

n

nMu Feiran looked at Black Eagle, feeling surprised. “Why are you going to A Nation?”

n

n

n“That’s enough. You guys can shut up. Leave.”

n

n

nThey wanted to say more, but seeing that Black Eagle didn’t let them do so, they could only cast an aggrieved look at Mu Feiran, then went out without saying anything. As they did so, they secretly tried to signal to Mu Feiran with their gazes.

n

n

nAfter they closed the door behind them, Mu Fei ran turned to ask Black Eagle, “What’s going on? What happened?”

n

n

nBlack Eagle turned and took off his top that was drenched in sweat.

n

n

n“It’s nothing.”

n

n

n“Then why do you have to go to A Nation?”

n

n

n“A boss I used to work for passed away. I need to go to attend the funeral.”

n

n

n“Then… why did they have such expressions?”

n

n

nMu Feiran grabbed Black Eagle and asked, feeling concerned.

n

n

nBlack Eagle took a glass of water and drank some, saying, “It’s nothing…”

n

n

n“If you don’t say it, I won’t let you go.”

n

n

nHe turned his head and looked at Mu Feiran speechlessly.

n

n

nMu Feiran seemed displeased.

n

n

nBlack Eagle sighed. “It’s nothing. Although there aren’t any feuds, there are many people there who hate me. They are just worried that there’d be people who would take this opportunity to deal with me.”

n

n

n“Ah…”

n

n

nIt scared Mu Feiran. “It’ll be dangerous, right?”

n

n

n“It’s not that dangerous. They were just letting their imaginations run wild.”

n

n

n“That’s impossible. I… I’m not allowing you to go. No way.” Mu Feiran grabbed onto him, not letting him leave.

n

n

nBlack Eagle felt very helpless.

n

n

nShe only felt better after he coaxed her.

n

n

nShe said, “Is that the boss you worked for over there?”

n

n

n“Not really.”

n

n

n“Then why are you going?”

n

n

n“It’s just that they’ve informed me, and we knew each other in the past. If I don’t go, they would see me as disrespectful. We value this in our trade, to be respectful toward seniors and our bosses.”

n

n

nMu Feiran was still unhappy.

n

n

n“Then the two of you knew each other well?”

n

n

n“I guess you can say so.”

n

n

n“He’s someone who had helped you in the past?”

n

n

n“Mmmm… He’s someone who had harmed me in the past. If I really had to say it, I’m fortunate that he had done so very early, otherwise…”

n

n

nHe should have been the one to end his life.

n

n

nBlack Eagle said, “Back then when I was over there…”

n

n

nHe had gone to work for Mr. Big when he was in A Nation.

n

n

nWhat kind of person was Mr. Big?

n

n

nHe was a very complicated person.

n

n

nToward Black Eagle… they might consider him as good. He gave Black Eagle everything and would bring him along in everything he did.

n

n

nIt was just that when he was brutal and angry, he wouldn’t care who the other party was.

n

n

nBlack Eagle had gone to places with him. He brought Black Eagle along not because Black Eagle saved him before, but he knew that Black Eagle was good at fighting.

n

n

nHe brought Black Eagle along to use him as a shield.

n

n

nHowever, it didn’t matter to Black Eagle. Black Eagle learned a lot from him.

n

n

nWhen he used an ashtray to smash Black Eagle’s head, he said, “Brother, our work is very dangerous. Why do you think that I don’t treat you guys well? Is there any use for me to treat you well? If I treat you guys too well, and you end up being negligent, we might just lose our lives.

n

n

n“Little Black, look at these people. They might appear respectful toward me, but there aren’t any of them who don’t want my life. So, I can’t reveal all my secrets. I must keep some things hidden, so they’d be fearful of me. Isn’t that right?”

n

n

nBlack Eagle knew that the reason Mr. Big could survive for so many years was that he had his way of doing things.
