Yan Yueqing knew about Tan Ru's alteration of the play, but Zhou Jue was unaware of it.

He was a little puzzled: It's normal for good actors to request changes to their roles, so what changes did Tan Ru make that made the screenwriter so angry?
After Director Tang finished speaking, Zhou Jue gasped, his eyes widening in disbelief, almost slamming his fist on the table: "I think she should just gender-swap and play the emperor, why is she still playing the empress?"

Director Tang smiled wryly: "Who can argue with that? The problem is that we can't release the script to let everyone judge. If it weren't for President Yue's article supporting the production team, our 'No Heart' would probably have failed before it even got off the ground."

Any production team that releases the script before the actual film is shown is making the stupidest decision.

Not wanting to lose more than one gains, "The Heart Is Not Seen" silently endured a long period of criticism. In addition, the filming location was constantly restricted, leaving Director Qi with no other options.

After all, if other period dramas can't film in one place, they can just find another.

Palace intrigue dramas are no good!

While interior design is important, the entire film can't be without a single large exterior scene, right?

Therefore, when Jun Jiu was assigned to the base mission, she immediately focused on the palace-themed architecture as soon as the location was decided.

Once this facility was completed, wouldn't it directly solve the crew's urgent problem?
Yan Yueqing smiled and said, "Can Director Qi rest assured now?"

Director Tang was extremely satisfied: "Of course! If it weren't for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he would have bought a plane ticket to P City today." After saying that, he looked at Yan Yueqing with sparkling eyes, "President Yue, we've set two dates, the 16th or the 28th of this month, both are auspicious days! When are you available?"

Today is already the 15th, and it's definitely too late for the ribbon-cutting ceremony on the 16th. Director Tang knows that Director Qi is in a hurry, so he persuaded him on the phone last night.

The moon hasn't arrived yet; we can't just let the film crew move in directly, can we?
We'll most likely have to choose the 28th, which means we'll have to wait another ten days or so!

However, compared to the previous seemingly endless wait due to being held back, these past ten days or so have brought hope.

Yan Yueqing mentally reviewed the recent events and decisively said, "Let's do it tomorrow."

"what?"

Director Tang didn't expect that President Yue would set the date for tomorrow.
Yan Yueqing glanced at him: "Isn't the crew in a hurry? Let them come together tomorrow. As the first important project after the reorganization of the stars, I'll cut the ribbon with them."

"Really?! Director Qi will be overjoyed to hear this news!"

Zhou Jue was also happy. After Tan Ru was kicked out of the crew, the female lead for "The Heart That Is Not Seen" was replaced by Xi Hongxia, whom Xingyue had just signed.
He chuckled and replied, "Xi Hongxia has been resting for a long time since she was hit. Yesterday she was asking me when she could officially start working again. I'll let her know later so we can join the crew tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xi Hongxia from Xingyue and Meng Chengchu from Zhongxing, this first pairing of handsome man and beautiful woman is sure to be exciting!
The two companies had almost finished discussing the project, and Yan Yueqing planned to return to the manor: "Director Tang, are you going to see Tang Tang, or..."

"With the little girl with you, what do I have to worry about? Let's get back to work first. I'll come pick her up when I'm done."

Hmm, to be honest, even if he comes back to pick her up, Tangtang might not necessarily go with him.
Hahahahaha~
As children grow older, they have their own ideas.

Who cares~ Let her play with Yue Zong for a while longer. She'll behave herself when she goes to first grade in two years.

"Okay, then I'll take the kids with me tomorrow."

P City isn't far from here. It's less than two hours from the highway near the manor, perfect for taking the kids for a trip.

Director Tang nodded in agreement, got up and was about to get back to work when he suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks.

Zhou Jue could tell he had something to say, so he said politely, "President Yue, I'll head back to Xingyue now. I'll meet you at the base with Xi Hongxia at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Joining a production team is such a trivial matter that a high-ranking executive like him has absolutely no need to get involved.

But it's just the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the main base of the Moon Festival~
How could we do without him?

Zhou Jue wished he could go and prepare today!

After Zhou Jue left, Director Tang carefully spoke up: "Um, President Yue, there's something about Li Manman..."

"Li Manman?" Yan Yueqing was slightly taken aback.

She hadn't heard that name in a long time.

Back when they were on the reality show "National Parents", Li Manman, Qin Youran and I were used as a comparison group. Li Manman not only did not take care of me because we came from the same company, but also openly and secretly ostracized me.

Later, Qin Youran's career was ruined, and Li Manman's powerful backer, Yang Dong, a senior executive at Zhongxing, fell from power. After analyzing her own feelings, she chose to stay and continue to work hard at Zhongxing.

"Haven't heard from her in a while, what happened?"

Director Tang: "She wants to retire from the entertainment industry."

"Retired from the entertainment industry?" Yan Yueqing looked at him in surprise. "Are you sure it's Li Manman?"

"I'm sure." Director Tang said with some helplessness, "I was also a little surprised, and after confirming it several times... she really is retiring from the entertainment industry."

"Are the formalities already being processed?"

Director Tang shook his head: "Not yet."

Yan Yueqing pondered, "You told me today because you wanted me to persuade her?"

"It's not that bad," Director Tang sighed. "I just felt... I should let you know."

When the stars needed a purge the most, Yan Yueqing protected Li Manman. Now that the stars are moving in a positive direction, why is she considering leaving the entertainment industry? Something about this sounds very strange.

Director Tang isn't worried about Li Manman retiring from the entertainment industry; he's worried that someone might sabotage her afterwards.

Yan Yueqing understood: "Okay, I will talk to her."

Director Tang nodded: "Then I'll go take care of my work first. See you at the base tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Yan Yueqing had other things to do in the afternoon and wanted to grab a quick bite at Xingyue Cafeteria. However, after finalizing her plans to go to P City, Zhou Jue very proactively took over all of Xingyue's work, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Back at the manor, a row of dolls ran over in unison.

Minister Mu had some family matters to attend to, and sent someone to pick up Mu Nian a couple of days ago. Now, besides his own two children, there are Tang Tang and Ji Li, a total of four little kids here.

The manor's chef, Aunt Fei, was an excellent cook. After enjoying the feast, Yan Yueqing gathered the little ones in the study.

"I have to go to the film studio in P City for a ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow. Are the four of you going to stay home or come with me?"

Based on Yan Yueqing's understanding of them, Yanbao and Tangbao would likely stick close to her and come along most of the time. Wangbao wasn't particularly fond of crowded places, but since he was only back for a short time this time, she figured he wouldn't miss a single moment with her.

As for Ji Li... Yan Yueqing doesn't even know his personality yet.

But since all three kids went, he will most likely go with them.

To everyone's surprise, Junyan was the first to raise his hand: "Mom, how long are you going? If it's just for one day, I won't go with you."

Tangtang followed closely behind: "Godmother, I want to stay here and play."

Yan Yueqing was extremely surprised: "You're not going?" Jun Yan nodded, his expression very serious: "Yes, Mom, we're not going."

Yan Yueqing squatted down and looked the little ones in the eye, asking, "That's strange, aren't you the ones who love to join in the fun the most?"

Junyan snuggled into her arms and whispered sweetly, "Mommy, we have other things to do, which are more important than joining in the fun~"

Seeing Yan Yueqing's stunned expression, he blinked his beautiful eyes and sweetly changed his tune, "But... but if Mom is going to be gone for several days, I won't stay home, I'll go with Mom~"

The sly fellow's comment made her laugh: "I won't be gone for too long, I'll be back tomorrow night, are you sure you don't want to go?"

"Hmm~" Jun Yan said confidently, as if he was planning something big.

Tangtang nodded in agreement.

Yan Wang was wearing a well-tailored suit, his expression was extremely quiet, and his beautiful eyes seemed to contain some unspeakable emotions, making him appear somewhat hesitant to speak.

As for Ji Li, he remained silent as if he didn't exist, completely ignoring everyone's conversation.

"Alright," Yan Yueqing said without pressuring him.

Jun Li wouldn't let such a good opportunity to be alone pass by, so he immediately offered, "I'm free tomorrow, I'll go with you."

Yan Yueqing decisively waved her hand: "Never mind, it's not appropriate for you to be there."

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the film and television base will definitely invite many media reporters to promote it.

Although the base is not yet publicly announced, once it is officially put into use, the media will definitely be invited to come and promote it.

Tomorrow will definitely be very lively. She is the founder of the base, and this project belongs to Zhongxing, so it's only natural for her to show up! But bringing Jun Li along is no different from directly announcing that the Jun family is involved in this project!

Low key?

Jun Li's deadpan demeanor doesn't suggest he's trying to keep a low profile!
Seeing her purse her lips and think for a few seconds, Jun Li chuckled.

Of course he knew what Yueqing was thinking.

However, she always seems to underestimate her own influence.

The Jun family's current reputation is indeed quite good, ranking among the top in China. But compared to the behemoth that is the Jiang family, the Jun family is simply insignificant.

Unless Yueqing never mentions the Jiang family again, any hint of her identity would be enough to terrify people.

As for the Jiang family, if I remember correctly, Aunt Jiang had mentioned the idea of ​​"returning to one's roots" during our last meeting.

It's only a matter of time before the Jiang family is exposed.

However, he wouldn't force Yueqing to agree, so he changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'll stay with the children at the manor tomorrow."

Back in her room, Yan Yueqing was about to call Li Manman when the door creaked open, and Jun Yan poked his little round head in: "Mom, do you have time?"

His feigned mystery made people laugh.

Yan Yueqing beckoned, "Come over here."

Junyan grinned and locked the door behind him.

Yan Yueqing stroked his soft, tuft of hair and softened her tone: "What's wrong? You guys have been acting strangely today."

"Mom, I want to tell you something, but don't be angry after you hear it~" Jun Yan looked at her with admiration, "You really can't be angry!"

Yan Yueqing picked up Junyan: "Okay, tell me, Mommy will definitely not be angry. What trouble have you gotten into?"

Junyan pouted: "Mom, we feel like Brother Ji Li... seems to have some issues with you?"

"Me?" Yan Yueqing was quite surprised that he would bring up things related to Ji Li. "What opinion could he possibly have about me?"

“A bad thought…” Junyan tugged at her sleeve, “It was my brother who noticed. Ever since Brother Ji Li arrived yesterday, he’s noticed he doesn’t seem to like Mom… not just dislike, but it seems like he hates her? Mom knows, and my brother is always very perceptive! Brother Ji Li hid it very well, but he still found out!”

He paused, then recalled, "Last night when I said goodnight to my brother, he pulled me aside and said that he had been observing Brother Ji Li all afternoon, and the more he observed, the more he felt something was off..."

Yan Yueqing was quite surprised.

Ji Li?

For oneself?
Do you have any negative opinions?

Could it be? In her memory, this was a child who always knew how to repay kindness.

In a parallel world where she never returned, Qin Youran used the power of the Jun family to casually give Ji Li some money and warmth, and in return, she received constant reciprocation from the child.

When it came to her, she not only ensured that Ji Li could attend school, but also, by a twist of fate, allowed Ji Li's grandmother to live a few more days.

How could Ji Li be dissatisfied with her?
Can't you?
Could it be that he was possessed?

Yan Yueqing didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart, but Wang Bao wasn't someone who would easily speak ill of others.

If Wang Bao discovered it, could there be some hidden story behind it?

Intrigued, she picked up Yanbao and brought him to the bedside: "Come on, tell me in detail, what did your brother discover?"

Junyan lay on the headboard, his ahoge (cowlick) trembling with his smile, his light brown eyes sparkling.

"My brother said that when he first saw Brother Ji Li yesterday, he noticed that Brother Ji Li would secretly glance at Mom when he lowered his head! That look... how should I put it, it was very cold! At first, my brother thought he was just seeing things and didn't dare to make a judgment..."

Yan Yueqing pursed her lips: "Yes, making wild guesses about someone without any evidence will hurt their feelings."

Junyan nodded seriously: "That's why! After my brother told me, I paid special attention to Brother Ji Li today! I even mentioned Mom to him several times, but who knew Brother Ji Li really had a problem with Mom! I saw him lower his head several times, and each time his eyes were a little cold. Once... even Tang Tang felt cold standing next to him! Brother Ji Li isn't like this at other times, he only acts like this when we talk about Mom!"

He presented his analysis, providing evidence and witnesses, which seemed quite convincing.

Yan Yueqing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Yanbao, how about Mom gives you a task?"

"Okay~"

"Mom is going to P City tomorrow morning and won't be back until evening. You can take Ji Li out for another day tomorrow and try to talk to him about his grandma, his hometown, his studies, and... Qin Youran."

"Qin Youran?" Jun Yan hadn't heard this name in a long time; upon hearing it suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise for a moment. "Who is that?"

"Do you remember the female guest who appeared on 'National Parents' with her mother, and was in the same group as Sister Tian Tian?"

Junyan's mind flashed back to that fake smiling face, and he immediately became furious: "Oh! Is that the one who colluded with marketing accounts to spread rumors about Mom, and was later sued by Uncle Qian and sentenced to several years in prison?"

"Well, it's her."

Junyan was confused: "Mom, why did you mention Qin Youran in front of Brother Ji Li? She's not a good person!" (End of Chapter)
