Facing Wang Shen, Mu Zhou didn’t look timid at all. He stopped the attendant and took a cocktail for himself. Then, he handed a cocktail to Yuan Shu and even said considerately, “You don’t have to really drink it.”
Only then did Yuan Shu realize that this person was so considerate. She took the cocktail with a smile.
Mu Zhou walked to Wang Shen’s side and smiled politely at the other two people. Without waiting for him to speak, Wang Shen introduced him to Lin Feng and the others. “This is Mu Zhou, the music conductor and director of my next movie.”
Then, she introduced him to Mu Zhou. “This is Lin Feng. He starred in the most popular television drama during the winter break and it had good ratings. He’s very interested in the role of the top literary scholar in my script.”
Mu Zhou paused and glanced at him again. With a smile, he tilted the cocktail at him. Then, the two of them took a sip.
While Lin Feng was exchanging pleasantries, Yuan Shu asked softly, “Didn’t Chen Sheng say just now that you’re the music director for his role?”
Mu Zhou turned his head slightly and replied in a low voice, “Actually, they’re filming the same movie. Wang Shen is the main director, and Chen Sheng is just an assistant director.”
Yuan Shu nodded and tried her best to learn more about the entertainment industry.
It was obvious that Wang Shen and Mu Zhou had a good relationship. Every time he said a few words, he would glance at Mu Zhou so that he could participate in the conversation.
“Mu Zhou, why don’t you give some suggestions? You’ve read the script too. Which role do you think Lin Feng is more suitable for?”
When Lin Feng and his manager heard this, their expressions changed slightly. From these words, they knew that Wang Shen didn’t want Lin Feng to act as the literary scholar. Moreover, they could tell that Wang Shen valued and trusted Mu Zhou very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked him this question.
Lin Feng also took the opportunity to become closer to him and politely addressed him as Director Mu.
“Director Mu, I heard that you’ve just returned to the country and have been studying music theory overseas. I wonder what instrument you’re best at?”
Mu Zhou’s attitude was a little cold, and his answer was very terse. It was completely different from when he was facing Yuan Shu. “Zither.”
Lin Feng felt that Mu Zhou didn’t seem to be very friendly to him for some reason, so he didn’t say anything else.
Yuan Shu thought that Mu Zhou was acting like this because of his social anxiety.
Mu Zhou said to Wang Shen, “Director Wang, I specifically came to look for you to introduce someone to you.”
Mu Zhou turned his body slightly, revealing Yuan Shu, who was standing beside him.
Just now, Mu Zhou had been standing between Wang Shen and Yuan Shu. In addition, Mu Zhou was 1.83 meters tall and completely blocked Yuan Shu, so Wang Shen didn’t see Yuan Shu.
At this moment, Wang Shen was shocked when he looked at her carefully.
Although Wang Shen was also mesmerized by Yuan Shu’s beauty, he was stunned by Yuan Shu’s temperament even more.
The magnanimous and dignified aura she exuded was like that of a peony raised in the palace. She was noble and beautiful, but there was a sense of shrewdness and boldness in her eyes. She was simply the best choice for the female lead he envisioned.
Wang Shen was still sizing up Yuan Shu in amazement when Shi Lu’s manager, Zhang Chao, suddenly rushed over. However, when he saw the group of people here, he retracted his gaze and greeted everyone calmly.
“Hello, Director Wang and Director Mu.” After he greeted Lin Feng and his manager, he stood beside Yuan Shu and greeted her respectfully. “Hello, Madam.”
Other than Mu Zhou, who already knew the situation, everyone present was shocked. Such a beautiful woman was already married?
Wang Shen knew that Zhang Chao was Shen Lu’s manager. The two of them had discussed many times in private. Now that Zhang Chao called Yuan Shu Madam, they couldn’t help but think of the relationship between Yuan Shu and Shen Lu.
Hence, Wang Shen couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be another secret in the entertainment industry? You called this lady Madam, so could it be…”
Wang Shen deliberately dragged out his words. When Zhang Chao explained, Zhang Chao hurriedly said, “No, this is Shen Lu’s sister-in-law.”
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, they were shocked once again.
The notorious Yuan Shu who climbed into bed to get to where she was?! That person was too different from the person in front of them!
When Shen Xi received the news, Zheng Huai happened to run over angrily. Ignoring Shen Xi’s objections, he wanted to hypnotize Meng Yu and make Meng Yu completely forget that scumbag Li Zhe.
Shen Xi hurriedly pulled Zheng Huai back and stopped him. “What are you doing? Don’t be so impulsive.”
Zheng Huai was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He couldn’t help but scold, “Li Zhe, this scumbag, is fooling around with Meng Yu on one side and marrying a new wife on the other. How infuriating..”
