After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Chapter 47

Mo Yanzhi’s sudden appearance was a surprise to everyone, but the most shocked one was the director of “Seeking the Sword”.

He was no longer a newcomer, and he knew about Mo Yanzhi, the president of the Mo Group, but he never thought that one day he would stand in front of Mo Yanzhi and listen to him talk about investment.

It would be an understatement to say that he was hit by a pie from the sky.

The director said cautiously, “P-President Mo?”

Mo Yanzhi nodded and strode into the room. Behind him was an elite looking man wearing silver-framed glasses, Executive Assistant Xu of the Mo Group.

Mo Yanzhi obviously wouldn’t personally discuss investment matters with the director. Such trivial matters didn’t require his personal intervention. Even if it was Executive Assistant Xu to discuss, it seemed a bit of an overkill.

Executive Assistant Xu had been by Mo Yanzhi’s side for many years and could grasp the thoughts of this big boss. Upon hearing that the boss wanted to invest, he immediately pushed his glasses up and stepped forward.

“Director Feng, I’m President Mo’s assistant, my surname is Xu. Let’s talk about the investment in the crew.”

How could President Mo come here to invest in an inconspicuous film crew? Of course he came here for someone. Executive Assistant Xu glanced at Li Shu, who was silent beside him, and smiled as he greeted him.

To receive investment from the Mo Group was a great honor. Director Feng immediately put aside Li Shu’s affairs and left the rest room with Executive Assistant Xu.

Mo Yanzhi stood in place and looked at Li Shu for a while. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t speak.

1314 didn’t dare breathe a word in the host’s consciousness. Every time these two met, it was on edge, afraid that the protagonist gong would accidentally provoke its host into making him disappear from this small world.

It obviously worried too much. After so long, if Li Shu really wanted to do something to Mo Yanzhi, 1314 couldn’t stop him.

“President Mo.” Li Shu was the first to speak. It was uncomfortable having the dignified president of the Mo Group staring at him and hesitating to speak.

Li Shu’s voice seemed to give Mo Yanzhi courage. He took a long stride and walked up to Li Shu. His attention was entirely on Li Shu. As for the assistant beside Li Shu, he selectively ignored him.

He treated the assistant as if he didn’t exist, but the assistant couldn’t ignore him. He stood nervously on the side, wishing he could become transparent.

He finally understood why Qin Ran had cautioned him so much before he came. It was because of President Mo. Although he didn’t know what the relationship between Li Shu and President Mo was, it obviously shouldn’t be something he should worry about.

The assistant looked at his nose with his eyes, and his nose with his heart, hypnotizing himself that he was a large human-shaped ornament.

Mo Yanzhi didn’t know where his feelings for Li Shu came from, and he didn’t intend to find out. From childhood to adulthood, he had always been clear about what he wanted, and it was the same when facing Li Shu.

Originally, he thought that regardless of who Li Shu was, since he caught his eye and they did what they did, he would naturally be his in the future. He wouldn’t inquire about what he had done, as long as he was by his side, he could overlook the past.

But after knowing that Li Shu had nothing to do with those people’s plans, he immediately felt relieved. The person he liked didn’t approach him for any other reason. However, this relief didn’t last long and slowly turned into unease.

The memories of that night resurfaced one by one, bringing with them a strong sense of unease. Because he thought that the young man had come with a purpose, his actions could be considered rude, not to mention those verbal insults. Although he didn’t say anything too disgraceful, that night was definitely not a pleasant experience for the young man.

But it was impossible for him to give up now.

When he heard that Li Shu was coming here for an audition, and that Qin Ran had something to do and couldn’t accompany him. He postponed the morning meeting without a word and drove here.

He was originally afraid that Li Shu wouldn’t like it, but now he was glad he came. If he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have known about the grievances Li Shu suffered today.

“Don’t worry, what’s yours will never be taken away by others.”

Mo Yanzhi’s slightly deep voice came to Li Shu’s ears. Li Shu suddenly realized that at some point, Mo Yanzhi was just a step away from him. Looking at the man’s serious expression, Li Shu wanted to step back and create some distance between them.

“How come President Mo is here?” Li Shu could guess the reason for this question without asking. The dignified president of the Mo Group wouldn’t specifically come here to invest in a small crew.

“I…” The prepared reason hovered on the tip of Mo Yanzhi’s tongue, but he answered this question with his true thoughts, “I heard from Shen Yu that you came for the audition, so I came to see.”

Upon hearing this, Li Shu paused slightly, then asked, “Is President Mo usually so free?”

Li Shu didn’t deny that he deliberately meant to provoke Mo Yanzhi with these words. He looked at the man who pursed his lips after hearing this, and there was not much pleasure in his heart.

“I was worried.” Mo Yanzhi didn’t say more.

He looked at Li Shu with stubborn eyes. Deep in his eyes, there was a small flame flickering gently. Though the flame was small, as long as there was a chance, it could start a prairie fire.

Li Shu locked eyes with Mo Yanzhi for a moment, then slightly averted his gaze. He was very familiar with this look. Once, there was a man dressed in imperial robes, standing at the throne and looking at him like this.

Thinking of that person, Li Shu’s eyes softened slightly. He didn’t notice it himself, but the man who had been looking at him saw it all clearly.

The flame In his heart suddenly surged up, raging uncontrollably and almost burning away his rationality.

‘Who was he thinking of?

Who made him show such an expression?

Did he… have someone he liked?’

As long as he thought that someone could stand by Li Shu’s side, enjoy the young mam’s gentle gaze, and embrace him, the violence in Mo Yanzhi’s heart spread. He absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to take the young man away from him.

No one!

Li Shu could only be his!

With Mo Yanzhi’s intervention, Li Shu’s role in “Seeking the Sword” remained unchanged, and Mo Yanzhi personally added a large sum of investment, significantly improving the shooting conditions for the crew.

Director Feng was extremely pleased with the changes Li Shu brought, and treated him like a precious golden doll.

Just after returning, Qin Ran heard the news and rushed over, his face not looking good. “I didn’t consider it thoroughly this time.”

It was just a small crew. Who could have expected such a turn of events?

“Thanks to President Mo this time,” Qin Ran rubbed his brow. The matter there wasn’t resolved yet, and something happened on Li Shu’s side again. What he thought was certain was nearly intercepted, “Don’t worry, such a situation won’t happen again in the future.”

It had been too long since he brought in a newcomer, and he had almost lost his vigilance.

“It’s okay, Brother Qin. If President Mo hadn’t shown up, I would have already refused directly,” He originally took the script for the role. If the role changed, he would lose interest in the drama.

Qin Ran walked closer and patted his shoulder. “I know you have your own ideas. When your fame rises, the probability of such things happening will greatly decrease.”

After this incident, Qin Ran thoroughly understood Li Shu’s position in Mo Yanzhi’s heart. He wouldn’t allow Li Shu to feel any grievances.

Whoever it was that dared to vie for the role, no matter who it was, they were not going to be let off easily. He, Qin Ran, had always been arrogant and domineering.

After encouraging Li Shu a few more words, Qin Ran hurriedly left. He still had a lot of work to do, and the follow-up work on Li Shu’s side also needed to be handled. He couldn’t let his artist be bullied for no reason.

Finding a house was not something that could be resolved in a day or two. Qin Ran had taken the initiative to look for one, and Li Shu temporarily moved to a single dormitory.

After washing up, there was a missed call on his phone, it was from the original owner’s family.

Li Shu called back, and it took several rings before someone answered.

There was noise on the other end of the phone, and a slightly choked voice came through, “Xiao Shu…”

“Is something wrong?” Li Shu’s voice remained as calm as ever.

Mother Li wiped away her tears and looked at the red light in the emergency room, unable to stop the despair surging up in her heart. She opened her mouth, wanting to tell her son that everything was fine, wanting to say a few words of advice as usual, but she couldn’t say a word.

“Don’t panic, tell me, what happened at home?” Li Shu’s voice softened, carrying an imperceptible charm.

Like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, tears fell heavily, and the hand holding the phone tightened, “It’s your father, he fell down, and now he’s in the emergency room, I…”

This was troublesome. He was about to start filming, and he couldn’t rush back to the hometown area at all. Moreover, there was the issue of money. He didn’t have much money on hand, and judging from Mother Li’s tone, Father Li must be seriously injured.

“Don’t worry, mom, you stay there and accompany dad. I’ll find a way with the money. Don’t worry about saving money. Treat him as needed.”

Mother Li was at a loss, and Li Shu’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, making her slightly calm down.

Li Shu comforted her with a few more words and lay on the bed, feeling worried.

He definitely couldn’t ignore the original owner’s family, but if this happened a few days later, he wouldn’t be so embarrassed. The original owner hadn’t worked for several months, and most of the savings had been given to the family. Where could he get a large sum of money now?

[1314, is there any fast way to make money?]

1314 secretly raised its guard: [Host, we are a legitimate system, and we cannot engage in activities that violate laws and regulations.]

Waiting for the remuneration from “I’m Not a Star” and “Seeking the Sword” obviously wouldn’t work. It’s a case of a distant water not quenching a near thirst. The money needed to treat the original owner’s father was definitely not a small sum, and the key was to be able to get it in the shortest time possible. What should he do?

Unexpectedly, the next morning, money came knocking on his door by itself.

Li Shu never expected that just a few words with Mo Yanzhi during the audition would stimulate him somehow, and the next day, he received a contract.

The location was at a very discreet private club. Executive Assistant Xu personally escorted him to the room on the top floor. The layout here was somewhat similar to the room he had seen when he woke up, just a bit more luxurious. The floor was covered with cashmere carpets, and there was no sound when stepping on it.

Mo Yanzhi sat across from Li Shu, his eyes slightly raised, silently watching Li Shu. His eyes were as deep as ink, as if they were an unfathomable abyss, and his emotions could not be seen clearly.

On the coffee table between them were a black and white contract and a pen. Mo Yanzhi’s signature was already on the contract. The words were as sharp and domineering as the man himself.

Executive Assistant Xu stood aside, wearing a formulaic smile. “Mr. Li, you can take a look. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, you can raise it.”

Li Shu raised an eyebrow, picked up the not-so-light contract, and read it quickly. He was fast at reading things, and it didn’t take him long to finish the whole document.

“What if I don’t sign?” Li Shu smirked.
