129 Its Kexin, Not Kevin (1/2)

Just as Ye Shuang had said, the number of cases available to Han Chu's other agents was more than enough to satisfy their needs. The three agents took care of about seven districts each, which meant that every one of them had to look after more than a hundred cities.

Even if they changed the city daily, having them pay attention to every city was practically impossible. Furthermore, some days they had to keep their schedule open for socializing or meeting with clients, talents, and so on…

Basically, the other three agents mostly spent their time around the more advanced cities, dealing with bigger and more important cases. It was unavoidable that they would miss the smaller cases. After all, it was not uncommon for some of the upper society to not have even heard of Han Chu.

So, what about the cases that they had missed? Since they were not accepted, those could not be called cases. Either the client would find a friend to solve their problem or employ someone through the classified pages. Therefore, Ye Shuang technically had not crossed the line. After all, she had found this case herself, and if she had not, the client, who had not heard of Han Chu, would not have gone to his other agents anyway.

As long as it was not a malicious competition, Han Chu might even rescind the limitation of having either the client or the talent from San Lin City in the future. Of course, another reason Han Chu was so permissible was because it was Sister Shuang who had accepted the case. If Brother Shuang did not explain this detail on the phone, this discussion might have gone completely differently.

As a man, it was expected that he should suffer a little more than women. Of course, Ye Shuang did not know that it was because of her female identity that things went so smoothly. If anything, she was glad that Han Chu did not treat her male self so differently anymore.

After she got the approval from Han Chu, Ye Shuang made use of the two-day break in filming to contact the talents from San Lin City. After finding the candidates that fulfilled the requirement of the clients and getting the talents' agreement, she contacted Miss Lin via email. Ye Shuang was frustrated by how convoluted this was. Whenever an identity of hers disappeared, she would need to run and hide or else she could have appeared in person to settle the thing once and for all—there was no need to be so secretive about it.

Other than that, the part-time shoot was smoother than expected. Just as Luo Mingxin had said, after the most difficult scene had been taken care of, what was there to be worried about when it came to the simpler scenes?

Director Zhou was stunned by Brother Shuang's surprisingly good acting skill. He had originally planned to spend some time honing his skill, but seeing how good the man was… there was no need for that anymore!

Celebrity Luo had fun acting alongside Brother Shuang at the bungalow, and the film crew on set had great fun as well. The two were perfect; their scenes never required a ”Cut!” and even changing scenes went smoothly. The cinematographers did not need to work hard because any single angle could be used in the movie. Basically, they only needed to push the camera according to the plan. Other than the occasional zoom in ordered by Director Zhou, there was barely any need to look over the captured scene.

The last scene was the little brother exploding after holding so much pressure in. The set manager left the scene after preparing everything. Luo Mingxin, who stood waiting on the second floor, slowly strode down from the stairs while the older brother, who was played by Ye Shuang, sat at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast without even raising his head.

…

Liu Xuan's face was filled with suppressed annoyance as he pulled the chair out noisily. He wanted to use a cold war to stress his annoyance, but his temper lit up the moment the man across from him leveled a gaze that was equivalent to a shrug.

”Why did you chase Kexin away‽” Liu Xuan slammed on the table angrily as he stood up, his eyes burning with unbridled anger. ”Do you think everyone owes you before you're rich‽ So you use checks and money to humiliate others?”

”I am your big brother,” the man said softly, his expression cold and calm. However, there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. His tone, though, was as flat as his expression. ”You'd rather believe your so-called true love and not our blood ties?”

”That doesn't mean you have the right to dictate my life!”

”The one who is trying to do that is not me.” The man folded the newspaper he was reading and placed it lightly to the side. With grace, he picked up the cup of coffee to take a sip. The folded sleeves hiked up his arm from the motion to expose his well-defined muscles.

After the clink from the cup touching the saucer, the man raised his head, and his finger trailed around the cup rim absent-mindedly. He looked at his little brother with a faded smile, but his eyes were as cold as a sharp knife. ”Do you really think that Liang Kexin is in love with you? She approached you only because you're my little brother…”

And behind that woman is someone that you cannot handle.

”Enough!” Liu Xian punched the table heavily. His teeth were gritted, angered by this gaze. ”Stop making decisions for me in my life!”

”Then you have to grow stronger.” The man lowered his eyes, and his tone was so calm that it sounded cruel. ”Strong enough that I won't be able to make decisions for you anymore…”
