Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 53 The bridge leads back to the bridge, the road leads back to the road

Nan Xu leaned back in her recliner and read the script. Originally, she was just going to take a look, but she became more and more engrossed in it.

After reading most of the script, Nan Xu immediately decided to invest; she was determined to invest in this drama.

"Asking the Throne" is a historical drama about power struggles.

The female protagonist, Li Yuchao, is the youngest daughter of the current emperor, but also the least favored daughter, simply because her mother, Consort Ye, has a low rank and she has never received any love from childhood to adulthood.

Because Li Yuchao was a daughter, Consort Ye disliked her, even though Li Yuchao was her only daughter. She could even bully the palace maids and eunuchs at will.

After the heroine came of age, she married General Feng Queyan, and from then on, she used her status as the General's wife to move among the noble families.

They secretly colluded with Regent Li Zehu, who controlled the court, and General He Liushan, who commanded the three armies.

They eliminated the princes and princesses step by step, and finally the crown prince.

She used Li Zehu and He Liushan to eliminate all threats.

Because of her effective governance, she won the hearts of the people, and with the death of the crown prince, the people supported her as their leader.

Although the emperor knew the whole story, Li Zehu and He Liushan had erased all traces of it, leaving no clues whatsoever.

Finally, the emperor had no choice but to make an exception and allow Li Yuchao to become the first female emperor in the history of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

There was a little bit of the ending, which Nanxu didn't finish reading, but the story had already captivated her.

The story doesn't have a clearly defined male lead; Li Zehu is dissatisfied with the emperor's policies. As for He Liushan, the script doesn't elaborate on him.

Nan Xu put down the script, and Zhang San called "cut."

Everything is just right.

Nan Xu stepped forward with the script in hand and asked, "How much do you need me to invest?"

That was so direct, it confused Zhang San.

"What?"

Until Zhang San saw the script in Nan Xu's hand, Zhang San mysteriously held up three fingers.

"Thirty million?" Nan Xu guessed, looking at her fingers.

Zhang San stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right twice. "Guess again."

Nan Xu raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "Three hundred million?"

Zhang San nodded in satisfaction.

Nan Xu suddenly felt that this script was a bit too hot to handle; how could she possibly have 300 million?

"No, I don't have that much money," Nan Xu said directly.

"You don't have one, but I'm not in a rush for this drama either."

This statement is essentially meaningless.

"When do you plan to start filming this drama?" Nan Xu asked directly.

"Next September." Zhang San hesitated for a moment, after all, he couldn't turn on the machine until the investment was received.

Nanxu did the math.

If it's next September, Lu Zhiyan will give her 120 million.

Even though they're in a relationship, the contract they signed shouldn't be disregarded.

Lin Jingshu will also give him at least 60 million. She will also receive money in the divorce settlement between Nanshan and Lin Jingshu, at least 200 million.

If you're frugal in your daily life, it should be enough.

“If filming starts next September, I can invest 300 million. But I’d like to know, are there any other investors besides me?” Nan Xu asked casually.

"No, the most wasteful thing about this drama is the actors' salaries; the filming locations don't cost much."

"How did you know?" Nanxu asked, puzzled.

"When we're filming, we'll come to my house. I haven't calculated the cost. You'll just need to pay the electricity bill and other miscellaneous expenses." Zhang San said calmly.

Nan Xu was shocked. "No, if your family is so rich, why do you need me to invest?"

If a place can be used as a filming location, the rental cost would be quite high, so why would she need to invest in it?

Seeing Nan Xu's shock, Zhang San figured that Nan Xu must have misunderstood.

"No, you've misunderstood. My hometown is a village, and a small part of the old site has been preserved. My parents restored it according to the original blueprints. Besides, it's not mine; it belongs to my parents," Zhang San explained.

Nan Xu seemed to understand. "Oh, but your family must be quite wealthy, so why are you keeping Cai Wang around for a few million?"

At this point, Zhang San sighed repeatedly. "Having money and not supporting each other are two different things. My parents don't like me making TV dramas; they think it's unreliable and has no future. Otherwise, would I tolerate investors taking advantage of my crew for a few million?"

Nan Xu didn't say anything more; saying more would only be like rubbing salt into a wound.

Beijing International Airport
Lin Zhengyu was waiting outside the airport. Lin Jingshu saw Lin Zhengyu as soon as she came out of the airport, but after looking around, she couldn't find Nan Xu.

Lin Jingshu took off her sunglasses. "Didn't Nan Xu come to pick me up?"

Lin Zhengyu shook his head, but before he could say anything, Lin Jingshu spoke first.

"Is he with Lu Zhiyan?" Lin Jingshu asked, then realized that she hadn't told Nan Xu about her trip to America.

She only told Lin Jingheng about her return.

Lin Jingshu was completely confused by the jumbled thoughts in her mind.

Lin Zhengyu stepped forward, took the suitcase from Lin Jingshu's hand, walked to the trunk, and explained as he went.

"No, Ah Xu went to Yaocheng with the crew." Lin Zhengyu put his suitcase into the trunk.

"Yaocheng? Which group are you in?" Lin Jingshu frowned as she opened the car door.

Lin Zhengyu sighed, "Auntie, how come you've become so forgetful after going to America? We've started a company!"

"Oh, right, right, right." Lin Jingshu then remembered, pulled over the seatbelt next to her, and laughed, "I've been so busy playing with Yuzheng these past two days that I forgot about this."

An hour later, we arrived at Yundu Teahouse.

Lin Jingshu got out of the car and looked at the sign "Yundu Teahouse" prominently displayed in front of her. She asked Lin Zhengyu, "Zhengyu, why are you at a teahouse? Shouldn't you be home?"

Lin Zhengyu opened the car door and got out. "Didn't my dad tell you? Nanshan invited you to discuss the division of property."

Upon hearing the mention of Nanshan, Lin Jingshu's smiling face instantly darkened.

Qiuhezhou in the United States and Nanshan in Beijing are both so annoying.

How unlucky she is to run into all the bad guys!

Lin Jingshu walked into the teahouse with a gloomy face.

In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Nanshan sat upright, while Lin Jingheng sipped his tea and looked at the scenery in the backyard.

Lin Jingshu pushed open the door to the private room, looked at Nanshan with disdain, and turned to walk towards Lin Jingheng.

After Lin Jingshu and Lin Zhengyu sat down, Nanshan took out the pre-prepared property division agreement and placed it on the table.

"This covers all the real estate. Once you've inspected it and there are no problems, please sign it," Nanshan said calmly.

Lin Jingshu picked up the folder on the table and carefully flipped through it, afraid of missing a single item.

Half an hour later, Lin Jingshu finished reading.

He signed his name on the last page and then tossed the folder to Nanshan.

Nanshan took it, looked at Lin Jingshu deeply, and signed his name next to Lin Jingshu.

"Let's find some time tomorrow to go to the real estate center and the property registration bureau together to change the property owner." Nanshan stood up and handed the folder to Lin Jingshu.

"What about the savings?" Lin Jingshu asked in return.

"This might take a few days; it won't be finished in a short time."

Lin Jingshu smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

Nanshan hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Jingheng, "Second Brother, may I speak a few words to Jingshu alone?"

Lin Jingheng glanced at Lin Jingshu, and seeing Lin Jingshu nod, he and Lin Zhengyu went out.

"What do you want to say?" Lin Jingshu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Jing Shu, I've been good to you all these years. Please leave me two properties for the sake of our past relationship." Nan Shan played the emotional card.

"Now you're thinking about our past relationship? When your mother was making things difficult for me back then, why didn't you help me out of our marital bond?" Lin Jingshu's eyes were full of sarcasm.

Nanshan gritted his teeth, unable to utter a single word.

In the end, Lin Jingshu softened her heart and said, "Fine, you can have the house you're living in now, but please don't show up in front of me and A-Xu."

"Please remember this: from now on, we'll keep to our separate ways. Don't try to play the emotional card with me."

"You know we have no feelings for each other." With that, Lin Jingshu got up, opened the door, and left.

Lin Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped out the door, and smiled happily as she looked at the property division document in her hand.
