When Yuan Shu was packing her clothes in the morning, she found the gift box containing the gown that she had always placed aside.

After Yuan Shu opened the gift box, she saw her name embroidered on the gown. Then, she remembered the note sent with the gift box.

This was the gown that Jiang Chen had given her on the day of the opening ceremony of Liu Cheng Hospital. Due to the complicated craftsmanship of the luxurious peony embroidery and rare fabric, it attracted a lot of attention.

Yuan Shu finally understood why Jiang Chen had spent so much effort to give her such a gown.

Because in that dynasty, Yuan Shu had seen this silk at a banquet for a foreign envoy. When she went back, she told Jiang Chen that she liked this fabric very much and hoped that she could have one too.

At that time, Jiang Chen had boasted that he would definitely give her a dress better than that silk.

Yuan Shu even laughed at him. “With your salary, you can’t even afford a sleeve in three years, yet you’re still bragging here.”

Jiang Chen remembered everything that Yuan Shu had said very clearly and had been doing as he had promised.

He kept his promises.

However, Yuan Shu had forgotten.

Yuan Shu didn’t think too much about it. She put the gown into the gift box and placed it in the corner of the bottom shelf.

When things were placed in inconspicuous corners, perhaps it wasn’t in order to forget about them, but because the owner didn’t know how to face them and could only try to escape.

Yuan Shu had complicated feelings about them now.

Just after ten o’clock, Shi Lu was sleeping soundly when Zhang Chao pulled him to the production team to talk to the director about breaking the contract. Shi Lu complained to Zhang Chao sleepily, “When did you become so diligent? You woke me up so early in the morning. I’m still sleepy!”

Zhang Chao said aggrievedly, “Do you think I’m not tired? If not for Young Master Shi giving me an ultimatum, 1 wouldn’t have woken up so early!”

Shi Lu said helplessly, “Who exactly is your boss?! You should be thinking about how to serve me well. How can you listen to my brother instead?”

Zhang Chao asked, “Are you not afraid of Young Master Shi?”

Shi Lu said, “Alright, I’m gonna sleep for a while longer. Call me when we arrive.”

Shi Lu didn’t expect the negotiation to go so smoothly. Wang Shen was surprisingly cooperative and didn’t even ask for the penalty fee.

After this project ended, Shi Lu was still a little disappointed. After all, Wang Shen had a lot of influence in the film industry. Almost all the movies he filmed had won various awards overseas. If he could star in his work, Shi Lu’s career would definitely rise to another level.

Zhang Chao asked tentatively, “Director Wang, will you still consider Shi Lu in the future?”

Wang Shen was also very helpless. “1 naturally want to work with Shi Lu. An actor like Shi Lu, who spends a lot of effort figuring out the character and interpreting the role, is rare. Working with him can also inspire me.”

Zhang Chao was puzzled. “Then why did Director Wang cooperate and stop filming this time?”

Wang Shen said, “Actually, before you guys came to me, someone had already said that the television drama couldn’t continue filming. There were some problems with the investment of this project, so it really couldn’t continue.”

“To be honest, I wasn’t very interested in this story. I was only very interested in the female lead. Very few women can be as sober, rational, and independent as this female lead. That’s why 1 was willing to film this script. Since there’s a problem and there’s no way to continue filming, this arrangement is fine with me.”

“During this filming process, 1 also came up with a new story. This female lead gave me inspiration and made me sort out a story that I had never been able to before. 1 think I need a year to plan this script. If there’s a chance, 1 hope we can work together next year.”

This was what a big director was like. He was willing to spend a lot of time polishing an outstanding script instead of rushing things and directing three or four scripts a year just to earn money.

Wang Shen’s attitude made Shi Lu admire him. “1 look forward to working with you again.”

After Shi Lu finished dealing with the matters here, she bumped into Zhang Zhang, who was here to discuss cooperation. She suddenly remembered what Shi Xiao had said to Shi Yi in the morning. “If you have nothing to do, visit Yuan Shu more often..”
