When Yu Meng arrived at the filming scene of "You're Close at hand", the director was sullen and angry.

Yu Meng got out of the car. She wasn't wearing high heels, so her footsteps were very light. She didn't disturb anyone. She stood not far behind the director and listened quietly, not moving any closer.

"Director Yu?" The director finally felt a moment of relaxation on his tense face. "How come you're free to come?"

At this point, the director couldn't help but sigh, "It doesn't matter what I say. Why don't you sit down and take a look, Director Yu?"

Yu Meng acknowledged and then sat in front of the camcorder's screen, shoulder to shoulder with the director.

The scene depicted the two of them reunited after the outbreak of the first civil war in which the male lead returned from a distant battlefield.

The female lead was a nurse who worked day in and day out under the shelter to help the refugees and the wounded. In such a dangerous environment, she was able to survive because she wanted to wait for the war to end and reunite with the male lead.

The play was a test of the actors' moods and outbursts, but the new actors didn't know much about acting skills, and they didn't even try to see what was going on in the script, let alone express the tension and the near collapse of the war.

After repeating it more than ten times, even Yu Meng couldn't bear to watch anymore.

She knew the script too well, the story too well, so she could not rub the sand in her eyes.

Words could not seem to make the rookies understand. After repeating it for so many times, it still did not make any difference. Yu Meng could not hold it in any longer and stood up. She pulled the female lead from the camera to the side and began interacting with the male lead.

Although she didn't know much about lenses or light, her emotional control was indeed unique.

Because she had experienced it, because it was her mother's story in itself.

As Yu Meng hugged and cried with the male lead, everyone present couldn't help but be moved.

Yu Meng's face was also covered in tears. She had replaced herself in that story again, as if she was once again alone in that scene. The flames of war were raging, she could lose her life at any time, but for the sake of love, she would not hesitate to step forward again and again. It was just like when she met Tan Yubai again in Sri Lanka. She gave it her all and finally saw the man she missed in her heart.

And at this moment, this was exactly what this scene wanted to feel.

Ask, how many times will life heart beat like thunder, hands trembling, nervous to the point of not breathing? These emotions, from the pleasant surprise, excitement, and nervousness she felt when they first met each other to the moment she staggered forward to take a closer look of that person's face, gradually subsided. Only hot tears remained in her eyes.

The man opposite her was wearing a grey military uniform with scars on his head. He had brows like thick swords and eyes like the stars. When their gazes met, the sky and the earth fell silent.

In her heart, there was only one name, and that was her Tan Yubai.

At this moment, Yu Meng seemed to have found the point that she and her mother wanted to share the most. Both of them had risked their lives for love before, and they had both tasted the most precious and hardest thing in the world.

At that moment, it wasn't just her performance that shocked everyone on set. Yu Meng herself had also found the shadow of her mother.

After the performance ended, everyone was still immersed in the story, unable to extricate themselves.

Finally, the applause was thunderous. All the staff and directors who were moved by Yu Meng … They all stood up and applauded Yu Meng.

Tears still hung on the director's face. He finally found the feeling he wanted. This was the feeling that should be present in this script. The feeling was so heart-wrenching that it slowly faded from beginning to the end.

The most precious thing was that moment when the dust settled.

Yu Meng pulled herself out of the story. The actor's assistant came up to her and handed her a tissue.

She wiped her eyes as she thanked them all for their applause.

"It's very touching, so I'll give it a try. Just don't laugh at me."

"How could that be?" The director walked up, his eyes shining with excitement: "You are the Wen Lan that I am looking for!"

Yu Meng was stunned.

Sure enough, the director had made the request that would move Yu Meng's heart.

"Can you be the star of this show?"

She was not an actress, so she did not have the slightest understanding of acting. How could she suddenly become the lead actor for a television show? Furthermore, this television show was very important to their Yu's, important to the point that they could almost decide the future. Her pressure was even greater!

However, Yu Meng's heart was moved. This story, whether it was about her mother or her own past, if it could be reinterpreted by her and stored in the video forever, how wonderful would it be?

Yu Meng didn't directly reply to the director, but said, "Let me consider it after taking the exam."

The director gave Yu Meng a lot of free time.

When night fell, Yu Meng lay on her bed, tossing and turning thinking about this matter. She wanted to call Tan Yubai and chat, but she remembered that he should be at the hospital.

Ye Zichen sent a WeChat to him.

Tan Yubai would always reply to Yu Meng's message instantly.

She told Tan Yubai about this matter, including her dilemma, her nervousness, and her uncertainty.

Tan Yubai only asked her: "Do you really want to bid?"

Yu Mengmeng thought for a moment before replying, "Yes."

"Then agree." Tan Yubai said: "After experiencing so much, there's nothing else that can trouble you."

Yu Meng was suddenly enlightened.

She was fearless, wasn't she?

Just like the character of the main character in the TV series, she was brave and fearless, which was why she was different from others.

Yu Meng agreed to the director's request. After taking a few serious days of acting lessons, she finally received some bad news when she was fully prepared.

The few investors that had been agreed upon had suddenly withdrawn their funds, causing the progress of filming the TV series to come to an end.

Withdrawing money was not a small matter. Yu Meng contacted the three investor bosses and found out about the details. They had all encountered problems by coincidence.

Either there was a big problem with the project, or a large number of products were found to have a quality problem … There didn't seem to be anything strange about this at first glance, but it was strange that something had happened to these three colleagues of his.

Yu Meng felt that this matter wasn't that simple. As expected, she had found out about it.

These three incidents were all related to one person, and that person was Shang Hui.

It really was him. Yu Meng thought angrily, ever since Tan Yubai broke his hand, there had been no sign of his disturbance for a long time. She thought that he had retreated knowing the difficulties, but who knew that he had started to do some dirty tricks?

Yu Meng could not tolerate it anymore and went straight to Shang Hui.

The office building of the Shang family's real estate was located in the most bustling office area of A city. It was a towering building, but there was only one floor that belonged to them.

With such a small scale, he couldn't understand why he didn't know if he was dead or alive.

Yu Meng took the elevator up to the 23rd floor and told the front desk her name. She thought she would wait for a long time because she didn't have an appointment, but she didn't expect the front desk staff to direct her to the CEO's office the moment they heard her name.

Passing by an office area, Yu Meng looked at the work conditions of the employees in the company carefully. She had to admit, everyone was serious, even if someone came, no one would be interested in looking at her. This made Yu Meng a little surprised, how could a boss like Shang Hui bring out such a neat and orderly work?

She had really underestimated him.

Shang Hui sat in front of the large desk, while Yu Meng sat on the sofa beside him. He did not look up even after a long time.

Yu Meng was getting impatient.

"Boss Shang." She called out to him, "Do you think I'm air?"

Shang Hui's finger that was flipping through the pages suddenly stopped, but he quickly continued to flip through the pages, not intending to pay any attention to Yu Meng's matter at all.

"Since you already guessed that I would come, then don't pretend to ignore me. How boring."

Shang Hui's thin lips curled up, he put down the contract in his hands and looked at Yu Meng.

"What, Boss Yu is looking for me? What's the matter?"

"Don't you know anything for yourself?" Yu Meng got up from the sofa and pulled a chair over to the desk, "You found someone to plot against my investors and got them to withdraw their stocks. CEO Shang, you're the person in charge of this company, how can you do such a despicable thing?"

Shang Hui laughed coldly: "Director Yu, speaking nonsense, I'm going to sue you for slander."

"I have proof." How could she dare come to Shang Hui's company alone without any evidence?

"The person who reported the product quality problems of Xinghai Company belongs to your company. He posted the video of the accident in the project of Haichang Company and the casualties caused by it onto the internet, causing chaos." "Coincidentally, both incidents have something to do with your people, and you still dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

Shang Hui's narrowed eyes suddenly became sharp. He stood up, his tall and big body leaning out of the office desk with his head lowered, a warm air spreading across Yu Meng's face.

"Please find out, Director Yu. This matter was only exposed by my people, but the cause of the accident has nothing to do with us. Please don't turn the tables, just force the dung onto my head, alright?"

When she realised it, she regretted her impulsiveness. She instinctively saw Shang Hui as such a despicable person, which was why she couldn't help but come and settle the score with him after catching a hint.

That's all.

Yu Meng looked at Shang Hui's eyes that were filled with increasing danger, and his heart skipped a beat.

Now that she had no weaknesses, she was about to fall into his hands.
