Upon arriving at the entrance, Wang Shu directly dialed the phone number He Yue had given him.
...
Meanwhile, Xu Yunshang, who was in the middle of a vocal lesson, also received a call from an unfamiliar number.
She had no choice but to get up and leave the classroom to answer it.
"Yunshang, are you there?"
When Xu Yunshang heard the familiar voice on the phone, she froze completely.
How did he know her number here?
And why was he calling her so suddenly?
Could it be that he was no longer well and wanted to say goodbye?
Xu Yunshang's mind raced as she pondered why Wang Shu would suddenly call her.
This phone was provided by the company and was meant only for communication with the company and family.
Contact with anyone other than parents and superiors was not allowed, and she had only given this number to He Yue.
Wang Shu calling her directly must mean something important.
Otherwise, He Yue wouldn't have given him her number.
"Wang Shu, you're not..."
As Xu Yunshang thought of the word, she started to sob.
She didn't have the courage to say it.
"What did you say? I came to see you! I'm right here at your entrance."
Wang Shu was also confused by Xu Yunshang's words on the phone, but he still directly told her that he was outside.
"What? You came to see me? Don't lie to me!"
Xu Yunshang's heart leaped with joy, but then she suddenly felt it was unlikely.
This was not Longguo, after all, and Wang Shu was still so seriously ill. He shouldn't have just casually come to Gaoli to see her, right?
"Why would I lie to you? I'm right outside. If you don't come, I'm leaving!"
Wang Shu couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking. He had traveled a long way to see her, and she still thought he was joking.
"Wait, wait for me!"
Xu Yunshang hurriedly said, afraid that Wang Shu would hang up and leave.
After speaking, she cautiously returned to the classroom, walked up to the instructor, quietly asked for sick leave, and then left.
After leaving the classroom, Xu Yunshang ran all the way to the main entrance.
From a distance, she saw the familiar figure standing at the entrance.
Xu Yunshang ran straight towards him.
"How did you get here?"
Xu Yunshang asked Wang Shu with a look of surprise and joy.
"I missed you, and it was on the way,"
Wang Shu said directly.
"On the way? Do you have other business this time?"
Xu Yunshang picked up on his words and asked Wang Shu.
"Uh, well, to be honest, I'm in Gaoli to film a movie, and seeing you was part of my plan."
Wang Shu said directly, knowing he couldn't hide it from Xu Yunshang.
"Filming? You're filming already, even though you're not fully recovered?"
Hearing that Wang Shu was in Gaoli to film, Xu Yunshang's brows furrowed, and she looked at him with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm in great shape now. I won't die anytime soon."
Wang Shu said directly. He still had dozens of days of lifespan left.
There was no need to worry about his health at all.
"So, what kind of movie are you filming this time?"
Xu Yunshang asked curiously.
"A martial arts action film! Guo Shu Shao Nian!"
Wang Shu introduced proudly.
"You, who look so sickly, are filming a martial arts movie? Are you tired of living?"
When Xu Yunshang heard Wang Shu's answer, she was almost furious enough to faint.
This guy was too much of a worry! He almost died on stage before, and now he dared to film a high-intensity martial arts movie.
If he wasn't careful, he might die on set again.
"Don't worry, I know my physical condition. I can fight ten people now!"
Wang Shu said, patting his chest.
"Can you get leave here?"
Wang Shu asked Xu Yunshang.
"I can usually go out on weekends, but lately, I've been busy preparing for a commercial performance, so I might not have time."
Xu Yunshang replied with a hint of disappointment.
She understood that Wang Shu wanted to go out and spend time with her, but she couldn't help it.
The training companies in Gaoli were very strict in their management of artists and trainees.
Even when she went out on normal days, she needed a company staff member to accompany her.
She was not allowed to go out alone, and with the upcoming commercial performance, she was rehearsing overtime every day.
Even if she took leave, the instructors and coaches wouldn't let her go.
"It's okay, I'll contact you tonight!"
A smile appeared on Wang Shu's lips, and he said mysteriously to Xu Yunshang.
"Alright, you should go back. I just came to see you today. We'll talk on the phone tonight!"
Wang Shu said directly.
"What are you up to?"
Xu Yunshang looked at the mysterious Wang Shu with some confusion.
She glanced at the time on her phone and realized it was getting late. If she didn't go back soon, she would be discovered.
With reluctance, she cast a glance at Wang Shu and turned to leave.
Wang Shu stood outside the entrance, watching Xu Yunshang's receding back until she was out of sight.
On the way back, Xu Yunshang was in a happy mood.
"Xu Yunshang, what were you just doing?"
Just as Xu Yunshang was lost in her joy.
A Gaoli man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses called out to Xu Yunshang with a stern expression.
"President Park, I wasn't doing anything!"
Xu Yunshang turned around and saw the man in the suit, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.
This person was Park Chobing, the president of the training base. He was usually very harsh on the artists and trainees.
He even frequently subjected younger Gaoli trainees to corporal punishment.
Xu Yunshang never expected to be so unlucky to run into this guy.
"Who did you just meet?"
Park Chobing frowned and questioned Xu Yunshang.
"I didn't meet anyone, President Park."
Xu Yunshang continued to defend herself. She couldn't let this guy know she had met Wang Shu.
The company had a strict rule that romantic relationships were forbidden during advanced training, and even eye contact with male trainees was not allowed within the training base.
"Hmph! Still trying to deny it! I saw you meeting a man at the entrance just now. Here's the photo I took!"
Park Chobing directly opened his phone's photo album and showed the picture he had just taken to Xu Yunshang.
"He's just a friend from my country. He came to Gaoli and decided to drop by."
Xu Yunshang tried to explain.
"Do you think I don't understand Chinese? I am Gaoli, but I understand Chinese. Is your relationship really that simple?"
"You know the company's rules. If I report this to the head office, you know the consequences."
Park Chobing said with a sinister smile.
"However, you're so beautiful. It would be a shame to have you blacklisted. It would be too much of a loss."
Park Chobing's sinister smile gradually turned lewd as he whispered to Xu Yunshang.
"What do you mean by that?"
Xu Yunshang sensed that there was more to his words and asked with a frown.
"I don't mean anything. I'm just saying, it depends on your performance."
Park Chobing's gaze shamelessly swept over Xu Yunshang's body, as if admiring his prey.
"I don't understand what you're saying. If you want to report it to the head office, then report it."
Xu Yunshang couldn't be bothered to explain further to this perverted guy and turned to walk back to the classroom.
She had heard rumors that this President Park, despite being married, often harassed trainees at the training base.
Especially those from Longguo, who were in a foreign land.
This beast often made things difficult for and threatened these trainees from Longguo in various ways to satisfy his lust.
Xu Yunshang certainly wouldn't tolerate such a person, nor would she give him any chance to defile her.
Even if he reported today's incident to the head office, she wasn't afraid.
She loved her profession, but that didn't mean she would sacrifice everything for it.
"Hmph! You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You'll regret this sooner or later. Then you'll come begging me!"
Seeing that Xu Yunshang was so uncooperative, Park Chobing's expression turned ferocious.
He wouldn't let such an artist off easily.
He had been eyeing Xu Yunshang for a long time but had been looking for an opportunity.
Now that he had found one, he wouldn't let this piece of delicious meat slip away so easily.
He then returned to his office with a sinister look.
...
Wang Shu then drove back to the hotel.
Using the remaining time of the day, he began writing his novel.
Ding ding ding!
As Wang Shu was fully focused on typing, his phone rang again.
Wang Shu directly put it on speakerphone, typing on the keyboard while answering the call.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Shu? We are from Longwen Pavilion Publishing House. When we were transferring your royalties, we found that the account number you provided was incorrect. Could you please provide us with the correct bank account number?"
A sweet-voiced girl said on the phone.
"Oh, okay, please wait a moment!"
Wang Shu was surprised that it was the publishing house calling. He hadn't expected his first payment to be settled so quickly.
He then found his bank card and gave the correct account number to the other party.
A moment later, Wang Shu saw a message from his bank on his phone.
"850,000!"
Wang Shu was stunned when he saw the number.
How long had the book been on the market, and he had already earned 850,000 in royalties?
How many copies must have been sold!
Wang Shu couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. He was indeed a literary master's work.
Even in a parallel world, it was still a bestseller.
Moreover, Wang Shu knew the book "To Live" very well.
The current sales data for this book was nothing. The truly terrifying aspect of this book was its strong dissemination speed.
