YM778.TV Chapter 42: An accident
"However?" But Wei Jun\'s focus wasn\'t on that. his main focus was on maintaining the image of his actors.
"However, there have been several cases of hate comments, Quan Kui and Quan Li have been targeted by many negative rumors mainly pointed at their characters. They have also received offers from some influential people for drinks." Lao Chen replied and after a brief pause continued, "They have not been in any trouble thanks to you but the targeting is very intense.
Quan Li\'s parents have been relocated because some people found out where her home was. We have acted according to your instructions but the situation isn\'t calming down. Luckily, the public has been taken care of by the lawyers but the problem of some influential people still remains."
"I see." Wei Jun nodded before he asked, "What about the rest?"
"Zhan Yi has been receiving gifts from a very influential woman, Na Tong. She has been sending him shoes, cars, and many other things which he has been returning, however, this came in today." Lao Chen reported as he handed Wei Jun a letter.
The contents of the letter reported that Zhan Yi, in the movie, should break up with Quan Li or she will hurt Quan Li.
"She does know it\'s a movie, right?" Wei Jun asked, finding it amusing.
"Unfortunately, that woman is known for her obsessiveness. There have been many cases in which she became infatuated with young male actors and forced them to change their characters as if they were living a real life." Lao Chen replied. Wei Jun didn\'t reply to that and simply discarded the letter.
"What about Xiao Heiling?" Wei Jun asked.
"Well, despite the rumors about him, he is still double-timing with two actresses." Lao Chen replied.
"Haha! At least he is being true to himself." Wei Jun laughed.
But Lao Chen remained awkward which Wei Jun noticed and asked about it, "Well, one of the actresses is Quan Kui."
The smile on Wei Jun\'s face froze. After a few seconds, he sighed and prepared his next set of orders with an increasing headache.
"Prepare for tomorrow\'s scene." Wei Jun ended the reporting session, dismissing Lao Chen.
=====
"I am happy to see that you are all eager to exercise now. Of course, you are after you have seen the benefits." Wei Jun rounded like a military officer while the five actors stood in a line.
"However, today, before we begin, I would like to address an issue. Would Quan Kui and another bastard please step forward?" Wei Jun didn\'t have to address Xiao Heiling by his name but he still obediently stepped forward.
"Would the of you like to explain what is going on between you two?" Wei Jun asked with a smile that sent shivers through both concerned parties.
"Qua… Quan Kui and I are dating." Xiao Heiling took it upon himself to inform while Quan Kui blushed. The rest of the team seemed shocked by this revelation which proved they had no idea.
"I just have one question for you, Quan Kui. Him? Seriously?" Wei Jun was sure that even though Quan Kui was innocent, she wasn\'t gullible to the extent that she would fall for him.
"He… He has a certain charm, boss." Quan Kui replied with a heavy blush on her face and a beet-red face.
Wei Jun inhaled strongly which seemed like a sign of anger for both of them but before they could begin to explain, Wei Jun said, "Oi, Xiao Heiling. Break it off with the other girl and if you don\'t pursue this seriously, I will chop off your d*** and feed it to you."
Xiao Heiling shivered as he hurriedly replied, "Yes boss! I have already broken it!" He was scared because he was sure that Wei Jun would do so if he did something wrong.
"You do know there are women present, right?" Xia Lu pointed out Wei Jun\'s word of choice.
"To a man, there doesn\'t exist a more dangerous threat and to make sure they understand, the exact words need to be said." Wei Jun replied before he moved backward and yelled, "NOW! GIVE ME FIFTY PUSHUPS AND THEN WE RUN THREE LAPS AROUND THE VILLA!!!"
The crew was deflated upon hearing that but they had no choice but to do it. They would rather do that than have Wei Jun yell at them.
Wei Jun observed them for a while before he moved to do his own exercise.
[Strength 17]
[Stamina 20]
[Agility 19]
[Your stamina has reached the limit of the mortal realm]
[Please increase your level to ten to remove the limit on stamina]
\'Would the other stats also stop at that?\' Wei Jun asked his system.
[Yes, host]
[I suggest you should focus on defense as well, host]
\'I see.\'
Wei Jun had an idea about how to focus on the defense. If stamina was strengthening his outer body, then defense was most likely strengthening his inner body.
He had consulted that issue with Lao Chen since he had no knowledge about Qi cultivation and he was pleased to know that to strengthen one\'s inner and outer body, Qi cultivation was the best method. The only problem was that he couldn\'t practice cultivation unless he reached level twenty.
According to the system, it was a limit of some sort. Wei Jun understood it that well but he knew he couldn\'t do anything about it for now so all he could do was focus on what he could.
\'I will max my stats first and then focus on the MC. He should be arriving soon.\' Wei Jun inwardly decided before he began to do his own exercise.
=====
"Kiss scene? Are you sure?" Xia Lu asked, somewhat hesitant when she stared at Xiao Heiling, berating him with her eyes.
"You don\'t have to if you don\'t want to. I can make it so." Wei Jun replied.
"Then please do so. I don\'t want my first kiss to be like that." Xia Lu replied which honestly baffled Wei Jun.
"Then how did you get through all the dramas?" Wei Jun curiously asked.
"Oh, they used a double." Xia Lu replied.
"I see. Well, there are other ways and you don\'t have to worry about that. What I want to know is about the situation in the industry. Quan Kui and Quan Li are being constantly harassed. Can you prepare them for it?" Wei Jun wanted to resolve this issue as peacefully as he could but he also didn\'t want the things to be escalated.
"That can be taken care of. I will see what I can do. Some of my friends have dirt against some powerful people in the city. I will see what I can do about it." Wei Jun nodded but that wasn\'t what he was concerned about. He had more dirt on them thanks to his intelligence team in full swing.
"But I would also appreciate it if you could console them." Wei Jun requested. Xia Lu nodded and addressed the next issue, "The junior actors also have a kiss scene. What will you do about that?"
Her expression was mischievous which meant that she knew about Zhan Yi\'s crush on Quan Li. "As much as I would like to indulge Zhan Yi\'s crush, Quan Li is an innocent girl and I cannot scare her off. I will give them the same options and I\'m sure Quan Li will lean more to that." Wei Jun replied.
"I see. I will see what I can do to calm the girls. I will see you later." She stood up and left while Wei Jun busied himself with work.
=====
"In the end, she didn\'t do it." Xia Lu laughed as she commented. She and Wei Jun were in his office discussing the next scene.
"Of course, she didn\'t. Girls put a really high value on it." Wei Jun replied.
"But I feel a little bad for Zhan Yi. Did you see him deflated afterward?" Xia Lu asked with a mischievous smile.
"Yeah, it was quite funny." Wei Jun didn\'t deny and replied with a smile.
"Haha! Yes, it was." Xia Lu replied with a peel of sweet and infectious laughter that would have charmed thousands of men. Alas, it did nothing for the stoic Wei Jun.
As they were discussing everything, Lao Chen barged into the office with a panicked expression on his face as he yelled, "YOUNG MASTER! THERE HAS BEEN AN EMERGENCY!"
"Calm down. What is it?" Wei Jun said in return but even he was alarmed seeing how panicked Lao Chen was.
"Its… It\'s about Zhan Yi and Quan Li." He said after a brief inhale.
"What happened?" Wei Jun and Xia Lu worriedly asked at the same time.
