Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us," Xiao He said. "From the sound of it, it should still be about that Cruise Party mentioned before."

It seemed like the entire upper class of Hong Kong had been "restless" lately because of this.

Although it was just a party, for many of them, it wasn't just a simple party, but a grand and important business negotiation opportunity that might involve business planning for the next year or two.

Especially the families of the organizers; since the fall of the richest family, the Chen Family, they hadn't been able to determine a clear leader. Now, however, they had made peace and were jointly hosting a business party for Hong Kong and the world. No matter how you looked at it, it was peculiar.

Liu Rulan smiled and shrugged. "So, Hong Kong should gradually start getting lively lately..."

At this moment, a "bloody" dog head appeared at Xiao He's feet.

"Weifeng!"

"Weifeng, over here!"

The temporary handler on the side called out for a long time, but the dog head kept nuzzling against Xiao He.

Xiao He and Liu Rulan's conversation stopped there. He helplessly bent down and gave the dog's head a good rub.

The handler had no choice but to walk over. While removing the makeup and fake fur from Weifeng, he teased Xiao He with a chuckle 'Hehe', "Weifeng really likes Teacher Xiao the most! Every day after filming, he has to come over and circle around Teacher Xiao."

Xiao He said somewhat resentfully, "I'm afraid it's because during filming every day, I'm the only one playing tag with him, so he sees me as a playmate."

Despite his complaints, Xiao He squatted down and helped the handler remove Weifeng's makeup, muttering as he did, "You fellow, is it because I've been the one playing with you lately that you're so clingy?!"

"Woof!"

Weifeng immediately barked in cooperation, as if giving a prompt response to Xiao He's words.

Xiao He: "..."

Liu Rulan: "Pfft—"

Liu Rulan couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. "It seems that's really the case! Every day in the Film Crew, it's either you chasing him or him chasing you. Such a lively human partner who understands dogs is indeed rare! If he doesn't play with you, who else can he play with?"

The actors playing the monsters were mainly the girl named Wan Li, whom Xiao He had met earlier that morning, and this Belgian Malinois named 'Weifeng.'

Wan Li was responsible for most of the shots, many of which were close-ups and feature shots, while Weifeng was mainly used for chase scenes.

Moreover, in the chase scenes, Xiao He was usually the fastest runner, while the other two were practically useless when it came to running.

Consequently, Weifeng was also very competitive. Every time filming started, he would decisively chase after Xiao He to 'bite' him.

Xiao He was stubborn too. If you chase me, I'll run. Anyway, I won't let you get a single 'bite' in.

The end result was that after one scene, Xiao He could literally walk the dog so hard that he was sprawled on the ground with his tongue hanging out.

And so, this 'human-dog bond' established a solid foundation.

Every time after filming, Weifeng would circle around Xiao He a few times before following the handler back for a meal, just like dogs greeting each other when leaving a gathering.

It was just that Xiao He, forced to be part of the canine pack, felt quite helpless.

"Alright, Weifeng, go back and eat. I'm going back to eat too!"

"Woof!"

Weifeng responded cheerfully, then happily wagged his tail and followed his handler away.

Good grief, this call and response was actually quite coordinated!

Liu Rulan stood to the side, looking at Weifeng then at Xiao He. After a moment of thought, she asked, "You're not thinking of adopting Weifeng, are you? I heard many people in the Film Crew have their eyes on him! Last time, I even heard Lv Dun asking Director Zhuang about the adoption procedures for Weifeng."

Weifeng's performance in the Film Crew was obvious to all—he was obedient and smart. Even though he often wore terrifying makeup and costumes, most people grew to like his personality once they got used to it.

Even Liu Rulan, a 'Cat Party' person, couldn't bring herself to say she 'disliked' him.

Xiao He pressed his hand to his forehead. "Me? Forget it!"

Liu Rulan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say last time that you like dogs and don't like cats? I see you and Weifeng getting along quite well."

"It's not a matter of dogs versus cats," Xiao He looked helplessly at Liu Rulan. "I'm so busy that even the Villa I bought is gathering dust. Where would I find the time to raise him? I can't just dump him on my parents to raise, can I? Besides, raising such a large dog is quite exhausting."

If you're going to raise it, you have to be responsible for it.

Although Xiao He did like dogs, his busy life didn't allow him to stop for one.

"The main thing is, I enjoy the pleasure of petting a dog, not the pleasure of raising one."

In the very end, Xiao He finally spoke his true ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) thoughts.

Liu Rulan: "...Typical you."

A guy who was a bit lazy yet incredibly hardworking.

"Just find someone to help raise and walk him."

She made another suggestion.

Xiao He looked at Sister Liu suspiciously. "Sister Liu, aren't you a Cat Faction person? Why do I feel like you want to adopt Weifeng more than I do?"

Liu Rulan immediately rolled her eyes. "I only asked a few more questions because I saw you liked him! You really don't know a good heart when you see one."

Then she turned and walked back. "What are you still standing there for? Let's go, remove the makeup, and go back to eat!"

Xiao He scratched his head. "Alright."

-

Although he was in a hurry to eat, other actors in the Film Crew had some script questions for Xiao He to clear up, so by the time he left the building, more than an hour had passed.

Just as he reached the entrance, he encountered Zhuang Hongyi and others seeing Bao Xingsheng off.

It was only then that Xiao He noticed President Bao had come with quite a grand entourage. There were seven or eight cars parked at the entrance alone, and he wasn't even sure if more were parked elsewhere.

At this time, the bodyguards were all getting into the cars.

Getting into the same car as Bao Xingsheng were President Mao and Daoist Hu.

President Mao still had that cheerful 'Hehe' look, and Daoist Hu looked ethereal, stroking his beard while lost in thought. In contrast, Bao Xingsheng, who had been fine when he arrived, left with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

However, seeing Director Zhuang's normal expression, Xiao He guessed that Bao Xingsheng's dark face wasn't because of Film Crew matters, but because he had heard some unfavorable results from the masters.

Sometimes people are just like that.

When a master says something good, they believe it all without hesitation; but when a master says something bad, even if they don't believe it, they still feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

This was also why Xiao He, despite having been in Hong Kong for so long and having studied with President Mao and the others for quite a while, never asked them for a fortune-telling or divination.

What if he got a result? In the end, wasn't he always the one making the choices?

Xiao He didn't want a fate's chart to define his life, nor did he want to be held back because he knew his future.

-

"President Bao, you're welcome to visit our Film Crew again. It was a bit rushed this time; next time, please do us the honor of staying for a meal."

Zhuang Hongyi said with a smile, leaning down toward the car window.

"Yes, sorry for the intrusion this time."

Bao Xingsheng managed to squeeze out a smile and nodded slightly to Zhuang Hongyi.

Meanwhile, Xiao He stood not far from the building's entrance, not taking the initiative to go up and say hello.

Suddenly, a gaze projected from the rear car window and landed on him.

Xiao He's eyes narrowed, and he looked straight at the car behind.

It was a bodyguard vehicle that had come with Bao Xingsheng. The windows were covered with privacy film, making it impossible to see the person inside through the dark window.

But Xiao He was certain that the person inside had just been watching him through the window.

That gaze was neutral, neither friendly nor hostile, and it retracted extremely quickly when Xiao He looked over, making it impossible for him to tell if the stare was accidental or intentional.

Xiao He Slightly frowning.

Unfortunately, before he could investigate further, the long motorcade slowly started up and left the area in an orderly fashion.

Liu Rulan asked from behind, "What is it? Do you want to go say hello to Director Zhuang again?"

Xiao He withdrew his confusion and shook his head. "Looking at Director Zhuang's attitude just now, he seems to be in a bad mood. Let's head back first."

As for that gaze just now... maybe they were just curious about him as an actor.
