Wang Shen was still a little disappointed that he was rejected directly.
However, it would seem like he was forcing her if he insisted, so he could only give up.
The few of them chatted for a while more. In the end, Wang Shen said to Lin Feng, “Why don’t you go back and read the script again? I think the role of the female lead’s son is very suitable for you.”

Lin Feng was a little disappointed. The female lead’s son didn’t have many scenes and wasn’t what he had expected. Ever since he was pushed out by Xinchcn Media as a scapegoat for the Li family, his resources had not been as good as before. He originally thought that he could use today’s opportunity to obtain an influential role, but he didn’t expect to fail.
Lin Feng was a little angry. He had been with Xinchen Media for so long and had helped them earn a lot of money, but at the critical moment, they actually ignored his future and directly exposed the fact that he had a son to divert the public’s attention.
Lin Feng felt bitter about it. In the end, celebrities were just commodities. The ones who really controlled the overall situation were still the capitalists behind the scenes. If he didn’t perform well, he would be kicked out of the company. There would still be dozens or hundreds of people waiting to replace him. Moreover, the investment would be lower and they would become even more popular in the future.
Everyone dispersed. Mu Zhou could tell that Yuan Shu had something on, so he didn’t disturb her anymore. After bidding her farewell, he left with Wang Shen.
Zhang Chao waited until everyone had left and only he and Yuan Shu were left before saying anxiously, “Madam Shi, something bad has happened. Shi Lu is missing!”
“Missing?” Yuan Shu didn’t quite understand the meaning of this word and repeated it.
Zhang Chao nodded solemnly and said, “After Chen Sheng left, I went to look for him to discuss the work arrangements. At that time, I saw that Shi Lu had gone to look for you, but when I returned, I couldn’t find him anywhere. That’s why I came to look for you. Did you see Shi Lu or receive any news from him?”
Yuan Shu was also a little uneasy. Although Shi Lu did whatever he wanted, he was definitely not a rash person. Even if he wanted to leave, he would definitely tell her. Since he suddenly disappeared, perhaps there was something urgent?
With this thought in mind, Yuan Shu quickly took out her phone from her pearl handbag. She scrolled through her text messages, but there was no message from Shi Lu. That shouldn’t be the case.
Yuan Shu quickly calmed down and scanned the entire venue. A person wouldn’t disappear into thin air. He must have interacted with someone before he left. She made arrangements and said, “Call Zhou Yan now and ask him to arrange for someone to wait near the car and the elevator. Tell me immediately if they see Shi Lu. I’ll get someone to ask the attendant if she saw him. You’ve been with him for so long, so you must be the most familiar with him. Is it possible that he went somewhere, or is there a terrace in the banquet hall?”
Zhang Chao thought about it carefully. There was indeed a rooftop in this banquet hall. When Shi Lu attended banquets, he would usually go to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze when he was bored. It was very likely that he was there now!

There was a swimming pool and a bar on the rooftop, and it was usually opened after ten o’clock, so it was convenient for people who checked into the hotel to drink here.
It was just past nine o’clock, so there shouldn’t be anyone there yet.
Hence, Zhang Chao and Yuan Shu split into two groups. They followed Yuan Shu’s arrangements while Yuan Shu herself went to the rooftop.
Yuan Shu took out a whip from her pearl handbag. The whip was very thin and soft, so it was convenient for her to put it in her handbag.
This was a whip that she had specifically asked Shi Yi to design. It was made of the softest leather and mixed with horsetail hair to make the whip stronger. A whip would only leave a shallow mark on a person’s body, but it would leave a deep wound that couldn’t be seen under the skin, commonly known as an internal injury.
Based on her intuition, there might be some danger on the rooftop, so she had to hold the whip in her hand as a precaution.
Her principle was never to put herself in danger..
