Chapter 231 He has someone he likes.
Zhou Yufan discovered that Fang Li had called him back just to keep him tied to the studio and make him work for her.
As the owner and founder of the studio, he was absent from work for no reason every few days. If it weren't for the fact that she had something on him and that she was his junior from school, Zhou Yufan would have really quit!
When Fang Li arrived at the studio feeling refreshed, Zhou Yufan was in his office, extremely busy.
"Director Zhu just sent out the schedule. Filming will start on the 3rd of next month, once the actors are all in place. During this time, we might need an editor to follow the filming daily so that any plot inconsistencies can be adjusted as needed. Who do you think would be a good fit for us?"
Ji Tiantian stood in front of the desk, holding the documents, and asked for instructions.
Zhou Yufan tapped his pen lightly on the table, his brow furrowed slightly: "How are things going with Feng Bo and Li Xiaoxuan?"
"The script is only half finished. They are busy with the subsequent creation and definitely don't have the energy to stay on set."
Zhou Yufan: "Who's free lately? What about Huang Yu?"
"Huang Yu hasn't come up with a new idea since her previous project was rejected, but she should have some time."
"Okay, go and call her over here for me."
Ji Tiantian nodded: "Okay."
Ji Tiantian closed the door and came out, only to see Fang Li sneaking around by the door, looking more like she was waiting for her than eavesdropping.
"President Xu?" Ji Tiantian was surprised.
Fang Li quickly put her finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet, and pulled her into the tea room next door.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhou seems very agitated. What happened?"
Seeing her worried expression, Ji Tiantian couldn't help but chuckle, "President Xu, why do you seem so worried that Editor-in-Chief Zhou might be in a bad mood?"
Fang Li paused for a moment, then leaned gently against the control panel behind her and said, "Editor-in-Chief Zhou is half the sky of our studio. If he's in a bad mood, it directly affects the weather in the studio. How can I not be afraid?"
"I think you've been absent from work without cause again, and you don't know how to explain it to the editor-in-chief."
"Oh, Sweetie! I've noticed you've gone astray the moment I'm not around, daring to make fun of your boss! Tell me, did you learn that from Zhou Yufan?"
Fang Li put her arm around Ji Tiantian's shoulder and feigned anger as she pressed her for answers.
Ji Tiantian shrank her neck and laughed, but before she could answer, a voice slowly came from behind her.
"There are only two bosses in the studio. If you're not here, who will learn from you instead of them?"
"Senior!"
"Editor-in-chief."
Seeing Fang Li standing obediently like a student, Ji Tiantian quickly nodded and slipped away.
Watching her fleeing figure, Fang Li felt a surge of indignation. How could she have hired such a spineless employee who left the boss here to be punished!
"Stop looking, she can't save you now."
Fang Li's face showed a flash of embarrassment, then she put on a fawning smile and looked at Zhou Yufan, "Senior, I was just joking with Tian Tian, look at you, why are you still angry?"
Zhou Yufan rolled his eyes. "Stop. Don't use the same tactics you used on Han Xi on me. You know I'm immune to the opposite sex."
"Can I be just an ordinary woman? I'm your dearest junior sister. I'm the boss of the studio, and there are so many employees watching. Please give me some face."
"Now that you've learned to care about your reputation, the boss is leading the way in skipping work without fear of his employees following suit. Why are you begging me now? Where were you before?"
"I really had something to take care of, but as soon as I finished, I came right back!"
Zhou Yufan was truly speechless.
Looking at Fang Li standing straight with an obedient expression, he shook his head helplessly, "Fine, you're the boss anyway, so it's up to you to decide what to do."
Upon hearing this, Fang Li's back hairs almost stood on end.
That tone...she's really angry?!
"Senior, are you...?"
Zhou Yufan turned his head.
The employees who had been eavesdropping on the two's conversation immediately scattered and returned to their posts.
He glanced around coldly, threw out a sentence, and then walked towards his office without looking back.
"Come to my office to talk."
What could Fang Li say?
Seeing the employees cowering like quails, I mustered up a bit of authority as the boss, straightened my back, and followed them.
office.
The door was tightly closed.
Zhou Yufan stood by the window, while Fang Li sat on the sofa opposite the desk.
Hearing him sigh for the third time, Fang Li finally couldn't hold back any longer and got up to go over to him. "What exactly happened? Tell me!"
Zhou Yufan was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "He has someone he likes."
Fang Li didn't react for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Who?"
Zhou Yufan turned to look at her.
Meeting his gaze, Fang Li took a while to come to her senses, a hint of surprise showing in her eyes. "You mean... are you sure? He's in the prime of his career right now, it shouldn't be like that, right?"
Zhou Yufan: "A paparazzi I know in the industry told me this, and it's pretty accurate."
Fang Li moved her lips, unsure of what to say for a moment. After a brief silence, she could only manage to say, "Paparazzi often make unfounded accusations. Things haven't been confirmed yet, so don't be discouraged too soon."
"Besides, feelings are the most unstable thing in the world. If you're together now, you might break up soon because of something. Even married people get divorced, let alone dating."
Zhou Yufan seemed genuinely hurt and discouraged. "Actually, I know it's impossible for us. He has a bright future ahead of him, and I... I'm just a disgusting gay man!"
He suddenly lowered his head and pressed it heavily against the glass window, his voice hoarse as he said, "I'm happy enough to be friends with him. I shouldn't have any designs on him, but I just can't control myself!"
"I deserve to die, I really deserve to die!"
This was the first time Fang Li had ever seen Zhou Yufan like this.
To be fair, Zhou Yufan is a very good person, both as a senior and as a friend.
When she first learned that the person he liked was Jing Sen, she admitted that she was shocked and surprised. But after the shock and surprise, she actually felt a little... how to put it, just like how movie fans ship couples nowadays, she actually shipped them a little.
Before he stumbled upon this incident, Zhou Yufan was like a celestial being floating in mid-air, detached from worldly affairs. Apart from cooperating with his mentor in student council and drama club matters, nothing else seemed to pique his interest.
He is always polite and courteous on the surface, but indifferent and aloof behind the scenes.
The girls at school who like him are practically forming a fan club, but he hasn't reacted at all. Whenever someone tries to confess their feelings to him, he always says the same thing: "Sorry, I don't like girls."
It was both direct and ruthless.
Even though he said it so directly, no one has taken it seriously all these years.
In fact, Fang Li was well aware of what he was saying. For him and Jing Sen, two exceptionally talented individuals, to be together was as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Regardless of societal views and public criticism, it's likely that neither set of parents would accept such an outcome.
Therefore, this was destined to be a fruitless unrequited love.
But seeing Zhou Yufan in so much pain, Fang Li couldn't bear it and wanted to help him.
"Jingsen is currently an artist under Wenxi's company. Should I ask President Chunxi for you?"
