Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 25. Let's Change the Female Lead (Second Update)
Song Mingzhi stared at her phone in silence for a while, then let out a sneer and turned to the housekeeper, saying, "You little punk, do you think I wouldn't be able to tell that these days that scammers use AI face-swapping?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint male voice came from the phone.

"Mom, your secret stash of money is hidden in the third flowerpot on the left as you enter the small greenhouse..."

"Oh, isn't this my dear son? Why are you calling your mother? Are you missing her?" Song Mingzhi said with a smile.

Lu Lishen lowered his eyes slightly, his expression unreadable.

"Didn't you want to set me up on a blind date before? I agreed."

Song Mingzhi blinked.

After hanging up the phone, she looked up at the housekeeper: "Ah Zhuo, did I hear that right?"

"You heard me right, the young master has really come to his senses."

Song Mingzhi snapped to attention: "Quick! Bring me all the information we collected about those girls!"

The butler readily agreed, and was quite pleased with himself.

"I wonder what kind of person he likes..." Song Mingzhi muttered to herself after flipping through the pages for a while.

She had read most of these materials; she had practically memorized the girl's file in order to introduce her to Lu Lishen.

When she turned to one of the photos, the woman suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"

"I haven't seen this girl before," Song Mingzhi complimented. "She's quite pretty... but why does she look so familiar?"

The butler leaned over for a look: "This is Miss Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and the sister of the young master's friend."

"Have you forgotten? Once when the young master was sick, it was this Miss Jiang who brought him back."

Song Mingzhi narrowed her eyes: "It's her."

She took out her phone and made a call.

"Hey, help me organize a party..."

The film crew's dressing room.

He Yongwen pursed her lips tightly, and her agent patiently advised her: "It's okay, newcomers are bound to be bullied. Just bear with it for a while and everything will be fine. Go apologize to Sister Tong in a little while, and this matter will be over."

He Yongwen laughed in exasperation: "She kept making me do NG takes, it's obvious she was deliberately messing with me! And I have to apologize to her?!"

The agent was also troubled upon hearing this. The actress playing the female lead in this drama is named Tong Xu, a second-tier actress. She had previously had some friction with He Yongwen over the same advertising endorsement.

Logically speaking, that endorsement shouldn't have been given to He Yongwen.

She heard that Tong Xu's team was about to sign a contract with the advertiser when they were suddenly notified to replace him. No wonder the other party had such a big grudge against He Yongwen.

The agent thought about it and decided to try to persuade her again. If the production schedule was delayed because of this, He Yongwen's reputation in the industry would also be affected.

"Wenwen, you still have to continue filming this movie, right? Breaking up with the female lead won't do you any good."

"Then let's change the female lead."

A lazy male voice came from the doorway.

The agent was taken aback, and instinctively looked over, only to be startled.

She had seen that face on the news before.

Ji Yanci, a rising star in the business district.

One of the most untouchable bigwigs in Beijing's elite circles.

Before the agent could react, He Yongwen had already thrown herself into the man's arms, tears streaming down her face.

"A-Ci, you've finally arrived!"

Ji Yanci raised his hand and ruffled the girl's hair, his tone casual yet gentle: "Have you been wronged?"

He Yongwen responded softly.

The man said casually, "Since the female lead makes you unhappy, then find someone more sensible."

"Or, would you like to be the female lead?"

He Yongwen looked up, her eyes watery: "Is it okay?"

Ji Yanci chuckled: "Of course."

His tone was extremely casual, as if it were just a matter of raising his hand to him.

The girl in his arms instantly stopped crying and smiled: "Thank you, A-Ci!"
