The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Before the four people in the lounge had time to chat more, the door of the staff lounge was opened at this moment.

Xu Yiyu looked at Mrs. Gai'er who was standing at the door and was still catching her breath, and silently raised his hand to support his forehead.

She quietly glanced at Little K who was hiding her cell phone at the side and guessed why Mrs. Gai'er was here.

"Xiao-Xiao En?!"

After seeing Deng Lianen's face clearly, Gai'er's wife's original idea of ​​​​calling him for an explanation was thrown out of her mind in an instant. She strode over to the sofa and sat down, smiling with surprise and holding Deng Lianen's hand.

Little K was screaming in her heart: Ahhhhh, what a mistake! Sister Gai Er and Deng Lian En actually knew each other! She should just commit seppuku to apologize!

Xu Yiyu opened the lid of the pastry box at the right time and handed it in the direction of Xiao K.

"I brought it back from the imperial capital. Want to try it?"

In order to hide his embarrassment, Little K grabbed a few pieces of the glutinous-looking pastries without even looking at them, and began to swallow them frantically, one bite at a time.

Deng Lianen held Gaiersao's hand in return, hugged Gaiersao with his other hand, and slapped her on the face in front of Li Zhou.

"Yes, dear, it's me. Isn't it a surprise?"

Li Zhou, who was ignored, looked at his future wife and Deng Lianen reminiscing affectionately and felt like crying but had no tears.

Why did he feel that his future wife was just angry...for a moment? And then the direction of events seemed to have nothing to do with him?

Xu Yiyu followed suit and handed the opened box of pastries toward Li Zhou.

"Taste it?"

Li Zhou subconsciously grabbed two cakes from the box, and then he realized what was happening.

As the financial sponsor, Xu Yiyu was just about to sell peanuts, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge on the spot!

After Deng Lianen hugged Gaier's wife and whispered a few words to her as if no one was around, he finally turned his attention back to Li Zhou, who looked a little pitiful across from him.

Out of humanitarian concern, she did not let Li Zhou continue to suffer like this.

"Gai'er, I heard you call Mr. Xu your financial sponsor, what's going on? If I remember correctly, you complained to me last time that you couldn't afford to pay your employees' salaries!"

Li Zhou was suddenly cueed by Deng Lianen, and remembered Xu Yiyu who appeared in Mengyu at the same time as Deng Lianen. Following Deng Lianen's words, he thought of another question.

"I haven't asked you yet, why did you appear with Madam Benzi? According to the public schedule released by your company before, shouldn't you be filming in Yun Province now?"

Facing an acquaintance, Deng Lianen did not seem as reserved as he was when facing Xu Yiyu at the beginning, nor did he hide much, and briefly explained the real situation.

"Originally, the crew was going to wrap up filming in about half a month, but I suddenly received a notice that the crew's budget had exceeded and that they would have to temporarily stop filming for a week. The crew will notify me later of the specific start time."

Little K, who was just quietly watching the gossip, was quite tactful and kept silent when he heard Deng Lianen talking about some inside information of the entertainment industry. He also silently turned on the silent mode of his mobile phone to avoid affecting the integrity of the gossip.

When Li Zhou heard Deng Lianen say that the crew's budget was overspent, he subconsciously looked at Xu Yiyu who was sitting next to Deng Lianen and eating cakes quietly, and blinked a few times.

"Mrs. Benzi, since you are now a shareholder and financial sponsor of Mengyu, would you like to help Sister En and become the financier of her drama?"

Xu Yiyu raised his head, looked at the innocent-looking Gai'erge, and swallowed the last piece of donkey roll in his mouth.

Xu Yiyu once made a brief analysis of Deng Lianen's vision in selecting scripts. Generally speaking, the works she has participated in, whether they are small- or large-investment dramas, have all had decent storylines and casts. Even though the ratings have been neither high nor low, the vast majority of the audience's word of mouth is still positive.

After pondering for a while, Xu Yiyu turned around and asked Deng Lianen a question.

"Ms. Deng, do you know how much your crew's funding gap is? If it's within 5 million, I won't have any problems."

This was the first time Xu Yiyu and Deng Lianen met. Although she did plan to acquire her company, Chenmu Entertainment, she did not intend to scare Deng Lianen. She only planned to invest a small amount of money to test the waters temporarily.

When they heard the number "5 million", the other four people present, except Xu Yiyu himself, were all dumbfounded.

Deng Lianen understood the tone of Xu Yiyu's words. It was so relaxed, and it was no different from buying cabbage at the market!

"Li Zhou, how much money did Mr. Xu invest in Mengyu before?"

Hearing Deng Lianen's question, Li Zhou raised five fingers to her.

"5000."

——What Li Zhou didn’t say was that from what Xu Yiyu said at the time, if Mengyu opened a branch in the future, it would probably make more additional investments.

Deng Lian'en was speechless: No wonder Li Zhou called Xu Yiyu's sponsor daddy so sincerely. She had never seen such a capital force in the few years since she entered the circle, which could invest 5000 million in a script library in a newly-emerged second-tier city without blinking an eye!

"...Boss Xu, I actually haven't heard any more news, but I can go ask the assistant director and see if they can let me know."

Deng Lianen received the news quite suddenly, and the suspension of work was unexpected. Several main actors in the crew were stunned by the news of the suspension.

Sister Gai, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted and said, "My dear, when I was chatting with a few girls yesterday, one of them who has some connections in the circle said that two days ago, when the Imperial Capital Auction ended, a big man who attended the dinner seemed to have been offended by someone and later got very angry. I don't know his name, but he seems to have recently withdrawn his investment in a play. Could it be the one you just stopped working on?"

These words not only surprised Deng Lianen, but also brought back Xu Yiyu's memory of the day when the Imperial Capital Auction ended.

If what Gai'er's wife was talking about was what happened that day, then the angry boss should be the one who wanted to do something to Tian Xu.

If Xu Yiyu's memory hadn't been confused, the boss's name should have been...

Ge Feng.

Logically speaking, since Ge Feng was able to participate in the treasure auction, his status in the circle must not be low. Xu Yiyu rescued Tian Xu at that time. He knew that she had close contacts with the four family heads. Ge Feng, who did not dare to take action against Xu Yiyu, transferred his anger to Tian Xu's official girlfriend Deng Lianen, hoping to use this incident to sound a warning to Tian Xu and prove that he was not a person without temper.

Xu Yiyu thought about this possibility in his mind and felt that it made more and more sense.

Speaking of which, she, Xu, was the one who caused Ge Feng to withdraw his investment, causing Deng Lianen to suffer this unexpected disaster. It seemed very reasonable for her to fill the funding gap for the crew that had suspended production.

There was a subtle change in Xu Yiyu's calm expression, which was noticed by Xiao K and Deng Lianen.

If they remembered correctly, this Mr. Xu seemed to have just returned from the imperial capital...
