Chapter 194: Boot

Chapter 194

Song Lecheng told his father that he and Song Shuling had agreed that she would pass on the gift bags of apology to Zhong Ruanxing on his behalf, but in fact Song Shuling had not agreed to this.

Jokingly, Song Shuling had already learned from her sister-in-law what kind of conflict had happened between them before, and now seeing Song Lecheng shred himself to pieces, how could she possibly help pass on the gifts?

But Song Lecheng persisted with her. Hugging a box of luxury bags, he came to her door. When Song Shuling came home from work and saw the man squatting at the door holding boxes, she almost laughed from anger.

Song Lecheng looked like a rag collector holding the boxes, but the bags in that one box were worth enough to buy an apartment.

Seeing her, he immediately stood up enthusiastically and came over, "Xiao Ling, you're back! I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He held out his hand in a smiling face, Zhong Ruanxing had also told her that they now needed to ease relations with the second branch to consolidate her brother's position, so Song Shuling did not give him a cold face, only helplessly said: "Second brother, if you want to apologize, go find my sister-in-law yourself. Going around about it like this really doesn't show your sincerity in apologizing."

Song Lecheng became anxious: "How do I not have sincerity? I'm very sincere! Look at these bags, I personally picked out the latest super limited edition products, they haven't even gone on sale globally yet! You pick one first, I'll get you to pass on the others to your sister-in-law! Tell her I really know I was wrong!"

Song Shuling stared at him for a few moments, and suddenly realized: "You're not only afraid of my brother, you're afraid of my sister-in-law too, right?"

Song Lecheng gave an embarrassed laugh: "Xiao Ling, just help your second brother this once. After your sister-in-law accepts the gifts and isn't so angry anymore, I will definitely apologize to her in person. Okay?"

He didn't dare to come to the door with gifts now. He could guarantee Zhong Ruanxing would throw him and the bags out if he did.

He was really afraid of this sister-in-law. Now with Song JinXing added, the deterrence had doubled. Before Zhong Ruanxing's attitude softened, he really didn't dare get close to her, he could only continue to take the roundabout route.

Song Shuling didn't know what to do with him. She couldn't call security to drive him away, so she had no choice but to open the door and let him put the box full of brand name bags inside. "I'm not promising that my sister-in-law will accept them first."

Song Lecheng nodded again and again: "You just need to pass on my intentions!"

Finally seeing off this stubborn playboy, Song Shuling looked at the box of brand name bags with difficulty. In the end, she still took a photo and sent it to Zhong Ruanxing, conveying Song Lecheng's shameless request.

Zhong Ruanxing enlarged the picture and looked at it a few times, then replied with a smile: "They look quite nice. You can pick one to carry, I can't carry those now, and your brother probably doesn't need them either."

Song Shuling happily got a whole box of brand name bags for free: "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Zhong Ruanxing had resolved the big trouble of Song Jingwu with just one conversation, which was much easier and simpler than Song JinXing's previous real fights and moves. Now the second branch could be considered turned from enemy to friend. Aside from the suppression and erosion of Cheng Yaowen's World Win Real Estate which was proceeding step-by-step, there was nothing else in the company that he needed to worry about.

Regarding the acquisition plan for the Cheng family, Song JinXing had always been personally overseeing it himself. The cruelty of the business world was sometimes no less than the battlefield. He didn't want Zhong Ruanxing to handle these matters. After the last swap he had already transferred these to Fu Ling privately, and now Fu Ling had full authority to handle this matter. He didn't need to report in person usually, he just needed to send the results to his private number when there was staged progress.

Fu Ling, who had accepted the secret mission, felt the excitement of participating in underground work. The boss was right in front of me, yet he had me report progress only through text messages. Is this high-end business warfare! It's so exciting!

After arranging all this, Song JinXing felt at ease to start filming "Letter to You".

Crews that became popular before shooting were few and far between over the years, and in the end every one of them became a drama that everyone praised. "Letter to You" now had this tendency. The media surrounded the opening ceremony this morning so densely that water could not trickle through.

The crew had not chosen many popular traffic idols, usually when they had their openings, most were ignored. Now this momentum made many veteran actors in the crew pleasantly surprised and more confident about the drama they were about to shoot.

The female lead role Song JinXing played, Lu Qing, was an inwardly passionate but outwardly cold character. The book described her as "amidst court intrigues her heart remained solitary, facing the darkness in the world she still retained compassion".

In this epic struggle, countless people experienced life and death, separation, power and greed, and were completely unrecognizable. Only Lu Qing still remembered the road she came by. Though she was framed and imprisoned, going from being highly praised to trampled by all, she never doubted her own choices. She remained steadfast and clear, wanting to carry out her father's ideals.

At first glance, everyone thought she was a snow capped mountain, the moon in the sky, sacred and untouchable. But she never looked down on the human world, she was never a lofty existence. She was the breeze over the earth, the green lotus in a pond, wanting to use the light of a candle to do her insignificant best, willing to burn herself up to purge the darkness in court.

So there was a very big difference between Lu Qing's appearance and inner heart. Beneath that cool exterior was a burning flame that never went out. Song JinXing had read the original novel of "Letter to You" before getting the script, and had also discussed the character several times with Zhong Ruanxing. Playing someone cool and aloof came easily to him, what needed attention was how to show Lu Qing's unyielding ardor while portraying that cool feeling.

It would be quite a challenge for his acting skills.

But when reading the script, Song JinXing would occasionally resonate with the character in the story, as if a dormant volcano in his heart was gradually rekindling, with enormous energy brewing inside wanting to erupt out.

That feeling was very strange, resonating with the spirit of a character in a book was mystical to talk about. Even Song JinXing himself found it hard to describe this sentiment.

When he talked about it with Zhong Ruanxing though, she just smiled and said, "Because you and Lu Qing are the same kind of person."

It was like a seed in Song JinXing's heart sprouted.

At the next opening ceremony, the director discovered the person under the camera was as if Lu Qing in the book had come to life. Contained in that cool, slender frame was an enormous, unshakable energy.

Previously when studying the script, the director still felt "Zhong Ruanxing's" understanding of the role was a little off, but now "she" had perfectly demonstrated to the entire crew her acting skills as if she was immersed in the role. It was really a pleasant surprise.

It made the director unable to resist praising the female lead on Weibo every day before they had even finished shooting the drama.

This was truly heartfelt praise, the kind of excitement like "Ahhh I've discovered a treasure and I'm so excited to share it with you guys but I can't yet I'm about to explode!" It provoked the netizens who had been following the "Letter to You" crew to also become excited:

- You're saying so much, just show us too!

- How astonishing was Zhong Ruanxing's acting that it made the director unable to resist praising her every day!

- I order you guys to shoot the drama 24 hours non-stop! Release it this year!

- The guy above, even donkey teams on farms wouldn't dare order like that!

- The Spy is about to be released, let me first go see Shiyufeng's acting to whet my appetite. Zhong Ruanxing, charge!

- The Spy is the movie where paparazzi took photos of Zhong Ruanxing competing in shooting with firearms instructors on set that leaked, right! I heard she plays a snake-like femme fatale intelligence chief in it. Hiss hiss, I'm going to quickly preorder movie tickets and gather people to watch it on May 1st!
