Chapter 99: Announced Their Engagement
The last few days of filming for the movie.
The whole production team was in a state of chaos, as they rushed day and night to catch up on their progress.
The more it went on, the worse everyone looked at Bai Rong.
Everyone was very tired and was not in the mood to look at Bai Rong’s aggrieved look.
When Mu Chen visited Bai Rong several times on the set, he was heartbroken by her haggard appearance.
Mu Chen’s eyes were filled with heartache as he advised, “Look at how tired you are. It would be better for you to take a break.”
Bai Rong did not dare to mention taking a break since she was already despised by the whole production team. All she could say was, “No, filming will be done soon. I can’t hold everyone back.”
Mu Chen felt pity for her and reminded her softly, “Remember that you’re still pregnant.”
Bai Rong touched her belly happily. “I’ll protect him well.”
Mu Chen nodded. “When the film crew finishes filming, you’ll be able to have a good rest for a few days.”
On the day the film shoot ended, the film crew was overjoyed.
The director had organized a wrap party.
Fang Mo’er was also rather emotional. There wasn’t a single person in the entire film crew who wasn’t tired.
At night, Fang Mo’er said to Shi Mo, “I’ve finally finished filming my first movie!”
The next thing she needed to do was to wait for the editing, promotion, and release.
Fang Mo’er looked as if she could not wait to sleep for three days and three nights.
As the female lead, her role had increased by quite a lot, and she had also worked overtime the most.
Seeing her like this, Shi Mo hurriedly said, “Don’t go if you’re tired.”
“No, as the female lead, how could I not attend the wrap party?”
Fang Mo’er laid herself on Shi Mo’er’s lap, intending on taking a nap. “I’ll rest for an hour first. Please wake me up later.”
Shi Mo nodded and patted her back gently.
Fang Mo’er fell asleep.
Soon, it was dark.
When Fang Mo’er woke up, she realized that she had already slept for two hours.
“Aiya, I’m late.”
Shi Mo said, “Don’t worry, I told the director that you would be late! He knew that you were tired and even asked that you rest more and told me not to wake you up.”
Fang Mo’er smiled. “Why do I feel like you’re the one who told him that I was too tired and that he should not wake me up?”
If it was not for Shi Mo’s reminder, Director Wang would not have even known that she was resting.
Shi Mo smiled. “Smart.”
Fang Mo’er rolled out of his arms and went into the bathroom to wash up. Only then did she drag Shi Mo out of the room.
“I’ve been sleeping for so long, I’m hungry now!” Fang Mo’er said.
When they entered the private room, the crew was in a joyous mood.
There were two seats beside the director.
Even Mu Ye and Fang Han had been invited to attend.
However, Fang Han did not look very happy.
When she saw Fang Mo’er coming over, she quickly approached her and said, “Finally you’re here. Bai Rong is really in the spotlight today.”
“What’s wrong?” Fang Mo’er sat down.
Fang Han said, “Mu Chen has just announced his engagement to Bai Rong!”
Only then did Fang Mo’er realize that Bai Rong was looking at her sweetly, with an exceptionally bright smile.
There were a few people beside her who were toasting the two of them, as they conveyed their congratulations.
Bai Rong deliberately said, “Sister, I hope you will be able to attend the wedding!”
Fang Mo’er took a sip of wine and smiled, “As your boss?”
When Bai Rong was reminded of Fang Mo’er’s shares in the company, she smiled perfunctorily, “Sister, you really love to joke.”
Mu Chen looked at Fang Mo’er coldly, “Miss Fang, please come with me! I have something to discuss with you.”
Mu Chen stood up and walked out.
Bai Rong was delighted.
Mu Chen had just said that he wanted to take back the shares in Fang Mo’er’s hands and give them to her as a betrothal gift when they got married.
Fang Mo’er did not move. “What is it that you can’t discuss with me here?”
Mu Chen said, “It’s about the company shares. Isn’t it inappropriate to talk about it here?”
“Oh?” Fang Mo’er raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Only then did she stand up slowly and go to say a few words to Shi Mo. She then came back very quickly and walked out.
On the balcony, Mu Chen got straight to the point. “I plan to buy back the shares in your hands. This is the share transfer contract!”
He produced a contract and handed it to her. “I will get someone to immediately transfer the money into your account.”
Fang Mo’er did not accept it. “Why should I transfer the shares to you? I still need to rely on it for dividends!”
Mu Chen’s face darkened. “Fang Mo’er!”
Fang Mo’er pulled on her ear. “There’s no need to sound so sincere. In fact, I don’t even wish to go to the company anymore. How about this? You give me twice the market price, then I’ll transfer the shares to you.”
“What? Fang Mo’er, you’re asking for too much!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, can’t you afford it? What’s the point of proposing this deal if you can’t afford it?” Fang Mo’er shook her head. “Back then, you promised to give me 50% of the shares. Now that I’m asking for double the price, that would only be worth 40% of the shares. You’ll still make a profit, won’t you? Or is it because the Mu family didn’t give you enough money? If you don’t have the ability, then don’t act so ostentatious in front of me! Go back and show filial piety to the Mu family’s Old Master. Maybe you can even get a little more pocket money.”
Mu Chen gritted his teeth and said, “Wait for me!”
He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Mu Ye.
Very quickly, Mu Ye replied, “Is this some sort of retaliation?”
