My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1411: Chapter 1411: Slapping the Lion Away

Within the film crew, Ye Fan paid no attention to the outside world. Inside the crew, the entertainment industry’s huge commotion truly astonished many, yet few connected the misfortune of Guan Shaoqiu and others, with so many prominent figures involved, back to Ye Fan.

Even Luo Jian’an and Wang Qiang were unsure of Ye Fan’s role in it all, let alone anyone else.

They knew a bit about Ye Fan’s identity, but not too much.

To most in the crew, it was baffling what qualifications Guan Shaoqiu had to offend any one of those big shots, let alone so many, resulting in many supporters suffering as well—this was a mystery to them.

However, these topics were merely some casual talk during meals, not something to dwell on deeply.

That’s how this circle is, fading stars continually exiting, newcomers constantly emerging; they understand that in the entertainment industry, no star is indispensable.

Chu Biyao and the other women had a lot to discuss and laugh about. However, the shock among her close celebrity friends was immense.

"Across Huaxia, all those top figures came out, just to show goodwill towards Mr. Ye. It’s beyond belief." said one actress. "If Biyao hadn’t informed us of the insider details, we wouldn’t have connected it back to Mr. Ye at all."

"I can’t even imagine how enormous Mr. Ye’s power really is." commented one, utterly astonished.

"I can’t link Mr. Ye to anyone comparable," exclaimed another, in continuous amazement.

One lady remarked admiringly, "People tend to follow the crowd. When there were online attacks on Mr. Ye, thanks to Biyao’s reminder, we warned many of our close friends not to blindly support Guan Shaoqiu. Luckily, they took our advice. If not, even more would have suffered. Now, those we warned are full of gratitude, constantly asking us if we know any insider info."

"There’s no need to exaggerate. This time, Guan Shaoqiu brought it upon himself, reckless as always, offending someone beyond reproach. It’s nothing extraordinary," Chu Biyao said, glancing around playfully, "Honestly, I didn’t expect it to affect such a wide scope; even Jiangnan’s Song Family and Macao’s Guo Family, my brother-in-law’s sworn enemies, bowed down in goodwill, leaving me puzzled."

"You still have things you can’t figure out?" the other women looked at Biyao, perplexed.

"I don’t want to think about these matters now; I’ll deal with that pesky brother-in-law later. Seems like he’s hiding a lot from me," Chu Biyao muttered.

"The Lu Family from the Northeast is extremely respectful towards Mr. Ye. In a few days, I have a concert in Jin City. If I could get the Lu Family’s support, it’d save me a lot of trouble. I wish Mr. Ye were my kin," Zhou Qiuyan, an actress in a yellow dress, sighed.

Biyao laughed and suggested, "How about I introduce you to my brother-in-law? With my persuasion, the deal will surely go smoothly. After all, you’re one of my company’s main pillars. This commercial performance is very important and must not fail."

The Lu Family, as the hosts in Jin City, wield significant influence. Zhou Qiuyan’s success in this concert naturally depends on local powerful support, which is crucial for future development and greatly impacts Zhou Qiuyan herself.

"Well, forget it. I’m just expressing a wish, nothing serious," Zhou Qiuyan said. "This concert relies on my own skills. There’s no need to force unnecessary connections and risk claims of manipulation."

"You’re proud, aren’t you?" teased another actress.

Chu Biyao and the other women were chatting and debating.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan was assisting Wang Qiang and Luo Jian’an with the filming progress.

Under Ye Fan’s guidance, Wang Qiang learned a few moves, including a few scenes where Ye Fan acted as Wang Qiang’s stunt double.

Action scenes aren’t as simple as they seem, and real change and breakthroughs depend on Ye Fan, who possesses genuine skills.

Ye Fan may not be a professional, but when it comes to feeding or matching moves, he’s absolutely professional—far beyond any martial arts teacher.

Afternoon.

While filming a segment, Wang Qiang, as the lead, was the focus. This scene involved Wang Qiang being chased by a lion.

Finally, Wang Qiang relies on his determination and stamina to escape the lion’s jaws.

The Beast Tamer calmed the lion’s mood; the weather was rather muggy, influencing the lion’s agitation. To ensure nothing went wrong, the Beast Tamer engaged in unique exchanges with the lion.

Once everything was ready, filming commenced.

After Luo Jian’an gave the command to start, as rehearsed, they proceeded.

On the side, something went wrong with the machinery as several staff members carelessly knocked it over.

Along with it, some glass materials crashed onto the ground, causing a loud noise.

Initially, it seemed trivial; just some things falling, easily cleaned up.

However, something unanticipated happened—the lion, either due to a foul mood or the weather affecting its mood, or perhaps the crowd invoking its last ounce of wild instinct, suddenly went into a rage.

The lion erupted in fury.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The Beast Tamer froze.

The crew members were terrified; panic set in. Everyone became confused and unfocused, the equipment abandoned; those able to run did, others froze, paralyzed with fear.

Luo Jian’an’s eyes widened, nearly collapsing.

This chaotic scene triggered panic, amplifying the lion’s intimidation.

Seeing the defenseless humans, the lion grew even more furious.

Among them, the fleeing Wang Qiang became the prime target.

The lion roared mightily, displaying wild majesty, charging at Wang Qiang with killer intent.

Wang Qiang’s soul nearly left his body. In a reflexive escape, he looked back in terror, his fear mounting, and inexplicably, his legs collided, causing him to stumble mid-run.

With the lion’s gaping jaws approaching.

Wang Qiang nearly peed himself.

Just as Wang Qiang despairingly faced the brink of destruction, a tall figure stood before him.

The lion was struck away with a single palm.
