The main point of this scene was He Mingyu finding a few gangsters to attack Du Ruixuan and test whether this new brother-in-law of his could protect his sister.

In the alley around the corner, a group of sloppily dressed teenagers as well as a neatly dressed youth were speaking. Judging from how they were dressed, they obviously shouldn’t be part of the same group, but they seemed to be chatting happily.

“When they come, you can pretend to rob the girl. But remember not to hurt her. Just attack the man. If you succeed, this will be your reward,” He Mingyu handed several hundreds to the group of gangsters.

“No problem. We’re the best at this kind of thing. Leave it to us,” the leader of the gangsters said with an evil smile.

He Mingyu stretched out his head to take a look and saw two familiar figures walking towards them. He hurriedly hid his figure from them.

“They’re coming. You guys get ready,” He Mingyu said to the little gangsters, then found a place where he could watch the situation without being discovered.

This ally was the only way to get to their house, which was why he chose this place as the ambushing site.

The sound of a man and woman talking and laughing quickly came. Occasionally, there was also the pleasant sound of the girl’s coquettish laughter. It was obvious that they were very happy.

Just as He Mingyue and Du Ruixuan passed the corner, several youths dressed in hoodlum clothes flew out and blocked the two of them.

Du Ruixuan instinctively pushed He Mingyu behind him to protect her. He Mingyu, who saw this scene, silently nodded to Du Ruixuan.

Mn, protecting his sister first. Not bad. He could add a point. If he could beat these little gangsters without letting his sister get a single injury, then it would be even better.

“What do you guys want?” Du Ruixuan asked in a low tone. His face was calm.

“Nothing. It’s just us brothers don’t have any money to spend, so we just wanted to borrow some.” The leader of the gangsters used a fierce expression and tone. If he didn’t know he was acting, he really would have thought that they’d met a group of gangsters.

“How much?” Du Ruixuan asked coldly. It would be best if they could send these people away with money.

“Not much, just five hundred.” The thugs grinned at each other, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Du Ruixuan took out five hundred bills from his wallet and handed it to the little gangsters. His eyes were on guard against them.

The gangsters didn’t expect the other party was actually willing to give them . money to avoid disaster. If this was usual, they would have happily left a long time ago, but they had a task today. They couldn’t simply let this couple pass.

Sigh…It wasn’t easy being a gangster these days.

“I think this girl is very good. How about…” Before the gangster could finish speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Du Ruixuan, showing that these people had gone too far.

Seeing their leader being beaten, the other gangsters surrounded Du Ruixuan and He Mingyu, intending to avenge their leader. But they remembered He Mingyu’s order, they couldn’t touch He Mingyue. They could only attack Du Ruixuan, and they had to only pretend to attack.

“Ah!” “Bang!”

“Cut!” Feng Ruiyu’s voice rang out. The anger mixed in it was obvious.

“Zhao Mengran, what in the world are you doing? Who told you to scream and bump into Ye Luohan? At this time, you should look worried but not panicked…” Feng Ruiyu threw out the words one after another. Zhao Mengran already had tears in the corner of her eyes. She was about to cry again.

“Makeup artist, go touch up their makeup. We’re shooting it again.” Feng Ruiyu was infuriated by Zhao Mengran. The atmosphere of the scene had been good, and it could have passed without any issue, but it was all ruined by this woman again.

“Are you okay?” Luo Lingxing walked up to Ye Luohan and asked.

While he was fighting the gangsters just now, the moves should have all been coordinated, but Zhao Mengran didn’t follow the script and actually bumped into Ye Luohan’s body, causing him to be hit by the gangster. There was a big footprint on his neat suit. This was probably the first time in Ye Luohan’s life that he was hit.

“Right, I’m sorry. It wasn’t on purpose.” The little gangster who’d kicked Ye Luohan was the one who played the leader of the gangsters. He bowed to Ye Luohan with a panicked expression on his face and apologized. He looked like he was about to cry, as if he was actually the one who’d been kicked.

“I’m fine. It’s not your fault,” Ye Luohan said.

“I’m really sorry. I apologize.”  That gangster continued to apologize, as if he was really worried that Ye Luohan would be angry. He confirmed one more time before finally leaving nervously.

“Get ready, let’s do this one more time. Action!” Feng Ruiyu shouted, then started filming again.

The little gangsters began to attack Du Ruixuan. At first, they were just making a show, but they didn’t expect Du Ruixuan to be so powerful. They didn’t have the power to defend at all. Even when they tried their best, they still weren’t a match for him. They were completely defeated by Du Ruixuan, and it was all one-sided. The gangsters screamed as they were beaten.

“Ah, stop! It hurts! I don’t want the money, just stop hitting us.”

“Sob sob…it hurts. Don’t hit me.”

“Save me. We don’t want your money. We’re not going to act anymore!.”

“…” The little gangsters pleaded for help in the direction He Mingyu was hiding. They had just wanted to earn a bit of money, but who knew that this money would be so difficult to earn. They didn’t want the money anymore, and continued to beg this person to stop hitting them.

Du Ruixuan quickly discovered this abnormality, gradually stopped, then watched the little gangsters run in that direction and drag out an embarrassed teenager. They stuffed the money into his hands.

“I’m returning the money to you. We’re quitting,” the gangsters said with a grimace in pain.

He Mingyu held the money in his hand and lowered his head. He didn’t dare look at the expressions of his sister and prospective brother-in-law. His face was slightly red, looking very embarrassed. He didn’t expect this to happen.

“Xiao Yu? What’s going on?” He Mingyue came out from behind Du Ruixuan, then looked at her obedient-looking little brother as he stood there watching the little gangsters.

“Sister,” He Mingyu timidly called out.

“Tell me what’s going on?” He Mingyue’s voice carried a hint of sternness.

“I…I just wanted to test brother-in-law’s skills to see if he can protect you.” The more He Mingyu spoke, the quieter his voice became.

He Mingyue suddenly understood. She didn’t know if she should laugh or cry at her brother’s actions.

She was reluctant to hit him. After all, this was her younger brother, who she had doted on since he was young. But even if she didn’t hit him, she felt that he’d gone overboard. If Ah’Xuan hadn’t been able to beat those gangsters, then wouldn’t he have been beaten instead?

“You’re such a fool!” He Mingyue deliberately lectured him with a straight face. He Mingyu accepted it without saying a word.

“Cut! It wasn’t bad this time. This scene passed.” Feng Ruiyu looked at the replay of the scene and said with satisfaction, “You guys can take a break.”

“Drink some water.” Guan Anhua handed a cup of hot water to Luo Lingxing.

“Brother Guan, what do you think of the actor who played the gangster?” Luo Lingxing took a sip of water, then said.

“Are you talking about Yi Chenhao?” Guan Anhua asked.

Others might not have remembered the name of a background actor, but Guan Anhua was different. He would basically remember a name after hearing it once, which was probably a reason why he was so well connected in the entertainment industry.

“Mn, what do you think of his acting?” Luo Lingxing continued to ask.

“His acting isn’t bad. If he’s trained, he would improve a lot,” Guan Anhua said matter-of-factly.

“Then what about signing him to our studio?” Luo Lingxing touched his chin and contemplated.

In fact, the background actor who played the gangster leader was pretty handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He was the pretty boy type that fans really liked, and his acting was quite spirited. It was a waste of talent for him to just be a background actor.

“Do you know why despite having good acting, he’s just an extra?” Guan Anhua said with a bit of embarrassment. After all, this was the same as speaking badly behind someone’s back, even if this matter was already public.

“Why?” Luo Lingxing was indeed interested in this.

“It’s because he doesn’t have a celebrity system,” Guan Anhua explained using one sentence.

“He also doesn’t have a system?” Luo Lingxing was surprised. He thought he was the only person in the world without a system.

“No, it’s not that he doesn’t have a system. He just doesn’t have a celebrity system. His system doesn’t fit in the entertainment industry, so that’s why he can only play extras in this industry.” Guan Anhua actually thought this was a pity. After all, this teen had a lot of potential, but it was a pity he didn’t have the system.

“Then let’s sign him to our studio,” Luo Lingxing said with some shock.

Guan Anhua was stunned. He obviously didn’t expect Luo Lingxing to still want to sign him after hearing that. In fact, people had wanted to sign Yi Chenhao before, but after hearing that he didn’t have a celebrity system, they all lost interest.

the corners of Luo Lingxing rose up in an arc as he said, “I don’t have a system either.”

Guan Anhua suddenly remembered this. He remembered that Luo Lingxing was indeed someone without a system. He didn’t have a system, but his acting skills and achievements often made others ignore this fact.

“It doesn’t mean one can’t act well without a system. It doesn’t mean one can’t gain a foothold in the entertainment industry either. Just like how some people with a celebrity system might not be able to go far either. A system is just a tool. What someone needs to rely on is their actual skills.

This teenager knows the rules of the entertainment industry. He also knows that he doesn’t have a celebrity system, but he still chose to stay in the entertainment industry. This shows that this person truly loves the entertainment industry and acting. As long as he has this love, it is even more precious than having a celebrity system,” Luo Lingxing added. It was rare for him to say so many words at once.

Guan Anhua was shocked at Luo Lingxing’s words. No one had said this before. No one had ever said that a system was just a tool, and they needed to rely on their own strength.

From birth, everyone knew they would have a system. They also knew that their system would awaken when they reached adulthood. Many people even waited for their system to awaken before deciding their future. If they didn’t follow their system, they wouldn’t have a road to walk for their future.

Therefore, many people might want to take a path that wasn’t related to their system, but because of awakening their system, they would choose a different path halfway through. Everyone followed their system to choose a major and career. Few people thought to do something that was unrelated to their system.

Of course, there were still such people. Like Yi Chenhao, for example. But these people had a harder time in their respective industries and were often not recognized.

This was the limitation of everyone’s thinking. Because everyone had been like this for generations, parents and teachers also educated their children like this. They felt like they couldn’t do anything without a system, but they never considered that their development was actually being limited by the system. Their lives were controlled by the system.

In fact, everyone had many possibilities to choose from, but everyone only made their choices reliant on the system.

Luo Lingxing’s words today had a whole new world opening for Guan Anhua, making him feel empowered. He felt like he was waking up from a dream.

If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, he would have never believed that these words came out of the mouth of a twenty-year-old young man.
