105: This man is actually the director of "Lost in Thailand"!

After Chen Le let go of Yang Mi, she walked over to Liu Shishi with a slightly flushed face.

"Hmph, Mi Mi, why aren't you with your boyfriend? Why are you walking with a single person like me?" Liu Shishi teased, her tone laced with playful sarcasm.

"You dare laugh at me!" Yang Mi tickled her, and the two women began to playfully wrestle.

The three of them walked and soon arrived at the Film Crew.

When the crew members saw the two women returning together, they all cast curious glances their way.

And when they saw Chen Le appear shortly after, they were even more astonished.

Chen Le's appearance caused quite a stir within the crew.

Everyone began speculating about his identity. After all, he wasn't a big star, so not everyone recognized him.

"Who is this man? Why is he so close to Yang Mi?" one actor asked curiously.

"I don't know, I've never seen him before. But judging by his relationship with Yang Mi, he's definitely not an ordinary person," another actor replied.

Just then, an eagle-eyed actor recognized Chen Le. "Wait, I think I've seen him somewhere before. He looks like... the director of 'lost in thailand'!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crew froze.

'lost in thailand' was a major box office hit last year, and as its director, Chen Le had naturally gained considerable fame.

Although he wasn't a celebrity, his status within the entertainment industry was still very high.

Soon, someone used their phone to search for Chen Le's picture online.

Finding a photo and seeing a face identical to the man before him, he was utterly dumbfounded.

"He really is the director of 'lost in thailand'!"

With that exclamation, the entire crew erupted in excitement.

Upon hearing the news, the crew's director and lead actors also hurried over.

They saw Chen Le and recognized him at a glance.

These ordinary actors might not know him, but they were different.

They frequently followed industry news and naturally knew who he was.

So, they each enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Chen Le, welcoming his arrival.

"Director Chen, welcome to our set! Why didn't you tell us in advance? We could have prepared a proper welcome!" the crew's director said with a smile as he approached.

It was no wonder they were so enthusiastic.

After all, in the entertainment industry, establishing a connection with a successful director could be greatly beneficial for one's future career.

Beside them, Yang Mi smiled and introduced the director to Chen Le. "Old Chen, this is our director, Director Song."

Chen Le nodded with a smile. "I'm here to see Mi Mi. Sorry for the disturbance."

Upon hearing this, Director Song immediately waved his hand. "No disturbance at all! It's our honor to have you here, Director Chen!"

The other lead actors also smiled and indicated it was no trouble.

Within the domestic entertainment industry, there's a hierarchy of prestige. Those who make films look down on those who make TV dramas, considering the latter less sophisticated.

"Director Chen, why don't you come to the lounge? It's a bit noisy here!" Director Song said with a smile, ushering Chen Le to the lounge.

Then he made tea for him.

The two chatted in the lounge for quite a while.

Soon it was noon. The director looked at Chen Le with a respectful expression.

"Director Chen, would you honor us by joining us for lunch? It's my treat, to fulfill my duty as host!"

A flattering smile was on Director Song's face.

Although he was much older than Chen Le, their status within the entertainment industry was worlds apart.

In this industry, status is everything. Those with higher standing are the bosses.

"Alright," Chen Le nodded.

At noon, Chen Le took Yang Mi and Liu Shishi to the meal.

Just like last time at Naza's Film Crew.

The lunch was filled with pleasantries, but Chen Le couldn't refuse such an invitation.

After all, social etiquette is very important, and having more friends opens more doors. There was no need for him to decline.

Soon, the meal concluded.

In the afternoon, Yang Mi had a scene to shoot.

Director Song invited Chen Le to come and offer some guidance.

Chen Le did not refuse.

Filming didn't end until a little after four in the afternoon.

After finishing her scene, Yang Mi walked over to Chen Le, looking somewhat tired.

"Whew, I'm so tired, Old Chen. I don't feel like moving."

Hearing this, Chen Le smiled and said, "Then shall I carry you back?"

As he spoke, he moved as if to pick her up.

Seeing this, Yang Mi quickly waved her hands. "Stop, stop, stop! There are so many people around."

With so many people watching them, she might be bold, but she wasn't thick-skinned. She couldn't bring herself to openly show affection in front of others like that.

Moreover, if they really did that, they'd probably be trending on social media tomorrow.

Afterwards, they returned to the RV.

Liu Shishi also arrived at that moment.

"Shishi, Old Chen and I are going to get something to eat. Do you want to come?" Yang Mi asked, looking at her.

"Haha, I won't join you guys. I don't want to be a third wheel! I have things to do over there, so I won't disturb your alone time, haha!" Liu Shishi said with a laugh.

Hearing this, although Yang Mi was a bit reluctant, she respected Liu Shishi's decision.

"Alright then, let's hang out next time."

"Mm-hmm!"

Thus, in the end, only Chen Le and Yang Mi went to eat.

They chose an elegant restaurant and ordered a few dishes they liked.

"Mi Mi, you haven't been mistreated or anything while filming with this crew, have you?" Chen Le asked with concern.

"No, my status is quite high now. How would they dare to mistreat me? They practically worship me," Yang Mi shook her head and said with a smile.

"That's good."

"What about you? Weren't you discussing a collaboration with Huayi Brothers recently? How's that going?" Yang Mi asked Chen Le in return.

"It's progressing very smoothly. Everything has been settled with Huayi Brothers," Chen Le said.

Then the two chatted while they ate, talking about the trivial details of their daily lives.

After the meal, Yang Mi specifically asked the director for time off to accompany Chen Le on a stroll around the film and television city. They walked along a tree-shaded path.

"This place is quite beautiful, very suitable for a couple's date," Chen Le said with a smile.

"Old Chen, what are you saying? You're so improper!" Her face flushed slightly, and she felt exasperated by his words.

After finishing their stroll, Yang Mi brought Chen Le back to the hotel.

"I'm going to take a shower," she said, glancing at Chen Le before walking into the bathroom.

But Chen Le noticed the door wasn't closed tightly... For the following period, Chen Le stayed with Yang Mi at her Film Crew.

He accompanied her during filming, watching her busy figure from morning till night.

When Yang Mi wasn't busy, he would accompany her to have fun or stay in the RV playing games.

He also chatted, ate, and joked around with the crew members, quickly becoming familiar with them.

They discovered that this wildly popular genius director seemed quite easy to get along with. He didn't have the arrogance often seen in young people; instead, he was very composed.

Soon, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

In what seemed like no time, it was time to return to Beijing.

Chen Le and Yang Mi reluctantly bid each other farewell, and he boarded the flight back to the capital.
