"Waaaaa... Sister Fei, what do we do, what should we do? We've lost the film, and there's a whole bunch of investors and actors' fees we can't account for."

Here, Li Sisi, who had just come to her senses, was sobbing uncontrollably in Feng Feifei's arms.

"Don't cry, let's think of a solution, see if there's any way to fix this."

She originally wanted to scold her for running off to find Qin Hai, but seeing her crying like this, she couldn't bear to scold her.

"Sister, what can be done? There's no way. This situation has already gotten out of hand."

"Why cry? At worst, we start over. Even if it means more hard work. Just pay back the money we owe."

"But what about East Three Gates? How will those elderly folks manage if they have no homes? Grandma Chen is eighty-five this year, living alone, and Grandpa Zhang is seventy-six. There are so many of them. Even though those houses are old, they are all they have to depend on." Li Sisi felt utterly hopeless, hating herself for not being able to handle even this much.

"Heh, can't even handle your own issues but still want to worry about others' problems."

Just then, the door suddenly swung open, and Xiaofan walked in, looking at them with disdain.

"You, what are you doing here? I wasn't talking to you. Why butt in?"

"Butt in?" Okay, an evil thought briefly flashed in Xiaofan's mind, but this was more important.

"Little Brother Shen..." Feng Feifei looked at Xiaofan expectantly, as he had told her to rest assured when he left earlier.

"Hold on." Xiaofan walked past Feng Feifei to stand beside Li Sisi's bed, took a deep breath, then opened his mouth to roar: "Are you a fool? Or an idiot? They called you to go alone, and you just went? Do you know how serious the consequences could be? Huh?"

"You..." Stunned by Xiaofan's sudden outburst, Li Sisi was speechless. Now, who was the employer here?

"You what? Didn't we agree that you wouldn't run around? I had people following you closely, and you just sneaked off without a word? What, is your head full of crap? Didn't you know going alone meant no good? Filming a movie, filming a movie, almost getting yourself caught in a classic romance action flick of a rather risque variety. If I hadn't arrived in time, someone would indeed have 'butted in'."

"You, you, I, I..." It was only now that Li Sisi recalled the previous events, and her face turned pale all of a sudden.

Lingering fear? No, this slow idiot first thought about the movie and East Three Gates upon waking up. Now, with Xiaofan's reminder, that lunchtime appointment came flooding back. It was terrifying. Had he not arrived on time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. She might have even wanted to die.

"Why are you yelling... I don't need you to care about me."

"Of course you don't need me to care." Before Li Sisi could finish, Xiaofan pressed on: "You're a big star, you're the big boss, I'm just a bodyguard, a small-time bodyguard, so how could I care about you? But do you know, Star Li, your rash actions have inexplicably increased the workload for me and my friends? Also, if something happened to you, it would be blamed on us for not protecting you well. Do you think we wanted to handle this mess of yours?"

With that said, Xiaofan casually took a CD and a memory card from his pocket and tossed them on the table.

"Sister Fei, here's your film. Check if there's anything to amend. The CD contains the 3D version, in case movie theaters are still the same as before with their screenings. Pick whichever suits you. As soon as you've seen it, contact a new production company to get the movie to the theaters before the release date."

"What? You got it back?" Feng Feifei was shocked, immediately opening the nearby computer with the memory card.

Li Sisi was also full of anticipation as she climbed up.

"Lie down. Who told you to get up?" Xiaofan pushed her back onto the bed with one hand, then grabbed her arm to check her pulse.

"What are you doing now? Let go of me."

"Don't make a noise. Rest tomorrow. No work allowed." Xiaofan slowly let go, then went to stand beside Feifei.

"Little Brother Shen, how exactly did you get the film back? But even if you got it back, it doesn't help; Qin Hai might have already uploaded it online," Feng Feifei said helplessly.

"If I can retrieve it, I can ensure he can't upload it. Relax, go ahead. Qin Hai no longer has your original film."

"Really? That's great. I'll now..."

"Tomorrow. Which company isn't closed by now? Tomorrow, I'll personally accompany you. Let's go down for dinner. I bought a roast goose. But, this idiot can't eat anything greasy for now, just plain porridge and pickled vegetables."

"Why? I want meat, too. How can I work without eating meat..." Li Sisi glared at Xiaofan and quickly got up, putting on slippers.

You must know, when someone gets up quickly from a lying position, as the brain can't react in time and the heart's blood supply isn't fast enough, a sudden dizziness can occur, especially in those just waking from drunkenness.

So, in such a situation, Li Sisi almost fell to the ground. Just then, a pair of strong arms held her steady.

"What's the rush, the meat's not going anywhere." Xiaofan muttered, releasing Li Sisi, then turned to head downstairs, muttering, "So young yet so frail."

This guy's really crazy, clearly just a bodyguard, yet he butts into a whole lot of matters and manages to make both women listen to him without room for rebuttal.

These two bosses can't even fire him. During this period, they've truly depended on his care.

Eating with a bodyguard was unprecedented, but too many things happened that day, leaving no appetite for a peaceful meal.

So, Li Sisi was starving and discovered that eating with many people was actually quite nice.

'Ring, ring, ring.'

Just as they were eating, Liu Peng's phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was a call from their boss, he quickly answered.

"Hey, boss, yeah, eating, have you eaten yet?"

"From now on, immediately return to the company; you don't need to protect Li Sisi anymore."

"But we signed a contract," Liu Peng said, somewhat surprised.

"I'll handle the contract, you just come back. I'll pay you for this month's salary."
