Chapter 0676: Gathering Information

To truly understand a person, just observe how they spend their leisure time. Generally speaking, a person who longs for success will not waste a single minute of their free time, because they know that the time they waste will become a reason for regret decades later.

Zhao Fusheng was well aware that he had not experienced the current events in his previous life, which meant that life had begun to take a special turn.

At least in many matters, things had become unpredictable.

If he were still following the trajectory of his previous life, he would know when to meet whom, whom to trust, and whom not to trust. But now, whether in judging people or handling affairs, he had to rely more heavily on his own experience and abilities.

In short, everything depended on his own eyes to see, his own mind to ponder, and his own heart to feel.

Fortunately, the preparations Zhao Fusheng had made earlier, though seemingly casual, had formed a modest network that allowed him to comfortably enjoy a world of just him and Fan Baobao.

Since she no longer had to go to the film set, Fan Baobao could finally sleep in.

She didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky, while Zhao Fusheng had already started working.

Zhao Fusheng had always been like this: when it was time to work, he would never let his mind wander to other things, because he believed that if a person couldn't focus, they would surely accomplish nothing.

Zhao Fusheng didn't know if there were immortals in this world, but he was certain that even immortals couldn't multitask.

"Why are you up so early?" Fan Baobao asked Zhao Fusheng curiously.

"You didn't think I finished writing yesterday, did you?" Zhao Fusheng smiled and asked in return.

"There's more?"

Fan Baobao was taken aback and asked in surprise.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Three in total. I still have two to finish within a week."

"You wrote a complete plan yesterday?" Fan Baobao was very surprised.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "Not complete, just a preliminary plan. I still need to discuss it with the company's planning department."

As he spoke, he looked at Fan Baobao: "Do you have any plans today? If not, let's go shopping."

"Shopping?" Fan Baobao was a bit surprised, then thought for a moment: "Better not. I think even if you go shopping, you'll still be thinking about these things. Might as well let you work at home."

She wasn't the type who couldn't live without a man. Since Zhao Fusheng had important work to do, Fan Baobao wouldn't be the kind of petty woman who insisted on her boyfriend accompanying her.

After freshening up, Fan Baobao went out. She said she had arranged to go shopping with Zhou Yun and the others. Zhao Fusheng stayed home alone, continuing to wrestle with a pile of materials.

Over the next two days, Zhao Fusheng spent his time like this: writing and revising incessantly. In Fan Baobao's words, he was completely immersed in his own world, as if disconnected from everything around him.

Fan Baobao had never seen Zhao Fusheng at work before; this time, she truly witnessed it.

"You don't know, but at that moment, I thought he was incredibly handsome."

Fan Baobao said to Zhou Yun as they were eating in the school cafeteria.

"Really?" Zhou Yun looked puzzled. She knew Zhao Fusheng and didn't find him particularly handsome. At least compared to the handsome guys on campus, Zhao Fusheng wasn't the type to rely on his looks.

"Really. They say a man focused on work is very handsome. I've never noticed it before." Fan Baobao giggled.

"You're completely smitten, girl." Her roommates teased her with laughter.

Initially, everyone had mixed feelings about Fan Baobao and Zhao Fusheng's relationship. In their view, Zhao Fusheng and Fan Baobao were more like childhood sweethearts who had known each other for so long that they ended up together.

But now, it seemed this girl had really found a treasure.

Whose boyfriend would create a movie just so his girlfriend could act in it?

They had all participated in the filming and had seen Jiang Wen and Yu Feihong in person. They had also witnessed how Jiang Wen treated Fan Baobao.

Except for Zhou Yun, who received special treatment because Jiang Wen was pursuing her, others like Yu Feihong and Ge You were extremely courteous when speaking with Fan Baobao.

Especially Yu Feihong. When she heard that Fan Baobao was Zhao Fusheng's girlfriend, she was all concern and care. Anyone who didn't know would think Fan Baobao was her younger sister.

As the saying goes, it's good to have connections in high places. The same applies to the film and television industry. Personal connections are crucial because they provide opportunities to act and land roles. If you don't know anyone and rely solely on acting skills, the most popular people would be the veteran actors from the People's Art Theatre, not today's stars.

"By the way, did your Zhao Fusheng say when the movie will be released?" someone asked Fan Baobao.

Fan Baobao shook her head: "He doesn't even go to the set, how would he know that?"

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Yun: "You should ask Zhou Yun about that."

Zhou Yun's face flushed red. Jiang Wen's pursuit of her was no secret in the dorm, and the others often teased her about it.

"I, I don't know either." Zhou Yun stammered, losing her usual composure.

In the evening, when Zhao Fusheng heard this question, he was also taken aback. He hadn't expected these girls to care about such things.

"I'm not sure either, but I can make a call to ask." Zhao Fusheng said to Fan Baobao. After all, it was his script, and he had helped raise investment. Even Yu Feihong, Jiang Wen, and he himself had invested some money, so he had the right to know.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Fusheng dialed Jiang Wen's phone.

That guy was the producer. As one of the film's investors and actors, he would definitely know the progress.

"Oh, that's rare. You actually care about the movie." After hearing Zhao Fusheng's question, Jiang Wen couldn't help but tease him.

Zhao Fusheng was like an absentee boss. After handing over the script, he had only shown up on set once, completely irresponsible.

Zhao Fusheng said irritably: "It's not me who cares; it's your future girlfriend. So, are you going to tell me or not?"

Upon hearing that Zhou Yun was the one asking, Jiang Wen's attitude immediately changed. He quickly asked: "Xiao Yun asked? Is she with you?"

Zhao Fusheng didn't want to comment on this friend who valued romance over friendship. He said testily: "She's not here, but I can assure you, if you don't tell me, you might never see your Xiao Yun again."

A threat, plain and simple!
