[R18] These men are poisonous – “These Men Are Poisonous” Chapter 4 [English]

Chapter 4 Teasing

The restaurant Qiu Yibai took Zuo Ning to was very high-end and had a quiet environment, which was perfect for talking about work.

Although this man gives the impression that he is a romantic gentleman who plays in the world, when it comes to work, he is also serious and responsible, and has some unique insights.

“Family” is not Zuo Ning’s first novel written online, nor is it her only novel whose copyright has been bought and adapted into a film and television drama. But in the past, her novels had nothing to do with selling the copyright.

But this time, she was invited by the film crew to be the screenwriter, and she needed to follow the team.

Zuo Ning has never written a script, and the film crew did not ask her to write a script. They said that everything should be directly based on the novel, and she would follow up at any time and make appropriate modifications.

I have to say, this decision is really bold.

“Actually, this is my decision, because I think your novel is already perfect. The plot and characters don’t need much modification. It’s not difficult for me to directly copy the novel. The main thing is that I need you to help me control the specific details and emotional rendering. After all, no one understands the characters and emotions in your novel better than you.”

This is what Qiu Yibai told her.

“Of course, “Home” is the most special of all my novels. I am honored to have me as the screenwriter.”

The two chatted in the restaurant from noon to evening, and then changed to another restaurant for dinner. Qiu Yibai got up and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back to the hotel.”

The crew’s first filming location is the newly developed resort area of Qiuyuan Group in the southeast of S City. The crew will all stay in the hotel here. Zuo Ning was afraid of trouble, so he came directly from the airport to the five-star hotel in the resort yesterday morning and checked in with his own money.

“I heard that ordinary crew members cannot stay in this hotel. Should I go upstairs to move my luggage and change places?” Zuo Ning asked with a half-smile as he looked at the tall figure walking in front.

Qiu Yibai stopped in the hotel lobby. His romantic peach blossom eyes seemed to captivate people, and his voice was extremely magnetic: “Screenwriters cannot be considered ordinary staff members.”

After a pause, he added: “Even if the screenwriter here today is a man or an average-looking woman, he still has to stay in this hotel and enjoy the treatment he deserves.”

“It’s really rare for a screenwriter to have such a status.” Looking at Qiu Yibai who went to the front desk with her ID card, Zuo Ning couldn’t help but mutter to himself, feeling a little uneasy at the same time.

The way Qiu Yibai looked at her and occasionally teased her, she couldn’t help but understand what that man was thinking about her, and as her identity, it seemed difficult for her to resist whatever he wanted to do to her.

However, she cannot, and does not want to, give in easily.

“Come on, let me help you carry your luggage.”

Taking the room card Qiu Yibai handed him, Zuo Ning was stunned for a moment: “Forty-second floor?”

The forty-second floor is all top-level luxury suites. She knew this last night, but as a screenwriter, it seems that she cannot enjoy this level of treatment.

“Yeah.” Qiu Yibai responded and walked directly to the elevator.

“Director Qiu, my identity is just a screenwriter, and I only want to enjoy the treatment that a screenwriter should enjoy. I hope Director Qiu understands this.”

Qiu Yibai seemed not surprised that she would say this, and just smiled: “Don’t worry, I will never force a woman, let alone play with unspoken rules.”

He said it so bluntly that Zuo Ning’s cheeks turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Looking at her delicate face, Qiu Yibai’s Adam’s apple twitched, and then he paused and said, “Do you know why I feel regretful this morning?”

Seeing Zuo Ning shaking his head, he continued: “I thought you were a newly signed artist by the company. I have my own principles and never touch women in the industry.”

Speaking of which, Zuo Ning is not stupid and naturally understands what he means. But now, is she considered a woman in this circle?

As if he understood what she was thinking, Qiu Yibai suddenly stepped forward and whispered in her ear: “You only signed a contract with this group, you can’t be considered a woman in the industry.”

Hot breath came out of his mouth and hit her sensitive ears. She took a step back in shock, and even her slender neck was stained with a blush.

He seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction. He laughed softly and said, “Don’t worry, even if you are not in the industry, you are still considered to be part of the crew for the time being. I will not touch any women on the crew.”

Seeing that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled evilly and said, “As for after the filming, it’s hard to say.”

Zuo Ning thought to himself, who will care about you after filming?As long as I’m not harassed when I’m on set, that’s already a good result.

“Are you a local too?” He suddenly asked after entering the elevator. Seeing Zuo Ning’s confusion, he added, “I just saw your ID card and the address is City S, but you said you came directly to the hotel after leaving the airport yesterday, so I’m a little curious.”

“There’s nothing to be curious about.” Zuo Ning smiled nonchalantly, “The house I originally lived in was sold. I’ve been traveling around in the past few years and haven’t bought a new one. I can only stay in a hotel temporarily.”

“So today is your 25th birthday?”

Zuo Ning looked at he in surprise: “An ID card can give you so much information?”

“Of course, I pay special attention to everything about beautiful women.” Qiu Yibai smiled proudly, “It seems that I took up your precious time on your birthday today. So, how should I compensate you?”

Zuo Ning shook his head: “I haven’t celebrated my birthday in many years. It’s fine just like this. There’s no need.”

She was obviously speaking with a smile, but there seemed to be a hint of bitterness in her eyes.

Qiu Yibai clearly caught the change in her expression, but he just pretended not to see it, raised his head and turned his eyes thoughtfully.
