Not long after.

Zou Wenhuai's female secretary arrived at Zhang Shuai'an's office door.

She knocked on the door and called out in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Mr. Zhang, my boss is looking for you!"

Hearing that affected tone of voice, Zhang Shuai'an shuddered and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

"Her name is Manny, she's a Malaysian Chinese, and she's 23 years old." The secretary's tone was still mesmerizing.

Zhang Shuai'an shuddered: "Do you usually talk like this?"

Manny's eyes were full of confusion as she asked softly, "What did I say?"

"fine."

Zhang Shuai'an suppressed the strange tingling sensation and said directly, "Let's go."

Manny's eyes, however, kept landing on Zhang Shuai'an: "Ah, where are we going?"

Zhang Shuai'an glared at her: "Go see Boss Zou! Didn't you say so?"

"Oh." Manny walked about half a step ahead of Zhang Shuai'an, gently swaying her ample hips to show off her graceful body curves.

Zhang Shuai'an wasn't bursting with hormones, so he naturally didn't take this little secretary seriously and followed her to Zou Wenhuai's office without a second thought.

Manny pushed open the door and announced, "Boss, Mr. Zhang has arrived."

Zou Wenhuai looked up slightly and smiled, "Anzai, you're here?"

"Mr. Zou, you were looking for me?" Zhang Shuai'an responded at the opportune moment.

Zou Wenhuai said, "Sit down and let's talk."

He then said to Manny, "Serve tea."

Zhang Shuai sat down.

Zou Wenhuai cut to the chase, asking, "How's the preparation for your 'Blood Maze' coming along?"

Zhang Shuai'an replied, "I just spoke with Xie Xian and his wife, Di Bona, and they are both willing to act and have signed contracts. I'll talk to Mr. Zeng Mang again when I have time."

"What about other aspects?" Zou Wenhuai asked. "Have you considered other places for filming locations?"

Zhang Shuai'an then asked, "Mr. Zou, do you have any good suggestions?"

At that moment, Zou Wenhuai offered his suggestion: "Since the goal is to impress the foreign judges, why not film it abroad?"

"I have considered it, but the cost might more than double."

Zhang Shuai'an said with some worry.

"Cost is no problem," Zou Wenhuai laughed, looking relaxed. "I dare to spend 300 million to make six Western films in Hollywood, it wouldn't be enough to support one of your films."

Zhang Shuai'an looked at Zou Wenhuai and said, "If Mr. Zou is going abroad to film, I can't handle it by myself. I'll need a few reliable helpers."

"I understand what you mean, I'll arrange some manpower for you."

Chow Wen-huai actually spent a few years in Hollywood, and that's when Jiatong Film Studio was founded.

"I've already identified a few candidates in Hong Kong and we're currently in contact with them. We should get a response in the next few days."

He said slowly, "I'll have Ah Kang introduce you to a few people from the US. As for the film crew, setting that up is actually quite easy, as it's the same as what we did before."

The American film industry is very well-developed, so filming there is indeed simple; the difficulty lies in communication.

Zou Wenhuai had gone to such lengths, so Zhang Shuai'an had nothing more to say and readily agreed.

Zhang Shuai'an also needed to explain some things, so he temporarily called Wang Pangzi and Chen Xunqi back for a meeting.

"I'm going to the United States with Boss Zou next Friday."

In the conference room, Zhang Shuai'an told his employees, "The main purpose is to check out the filming locations for my next movie, 'Blood Simple,' and also to experience the American film shooting process."

"Brother An, how long will you be staying there?" He Jiatong asked.

"It's not clear yet." Zhang Shuai'an shook his head. "It depends on the situation. If everything goes smoothly there, we can start filming directly there. If not, I'll probably stay for a month or two and then come back."

This matter is indeed still unclear.

Zhang Shuai'an looked at Wang Pangzi, Chen Xunqi and the others: "We're counting on you guys for things back home."

Fatty Wang patted his chest first, and said proudly, "Brother An, don't worry, with us at home, there won't be any problems."

"There's really nothing going on here," Chen Xunqi added. "We just need to film 'Thirty-Six Strategies for Chasing Girls' well. If all goes smoothly, we can finish filming by mid-September and should be able to secure a slot around the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zhang Shuai'an nodded and said, "I'm not worried about the filming. You're not exactly beginners. As long as you perform normally, the filming won't be too bad."

"Boss, it might be inconvenient for you to go alone. Why don't you bring someone with you? At least it will be easier to take care of your daily needs."

Ling Zhijian, however, brought up another point: "I heard that Jackie Chan wasn't eating well in the US and has lost a lot of weight."

"I'd like to bring people, but who can I bring?" Zhang Shuai'an shook his head, a slightly troubled look on his face. "Our company is still a bit short-staffed. When I get back, I'll definitely recruit more people."

Ling Zhijian said, "Boss, if you don't mind, my wife's younger sister can come and take care of you. She's been a good cook since she was a child, studied business administration in college, and has first-class English. She can also help you with some trivial matters."

Zhang Shuai'an frowned slightly: "Your wife's sister?"

He Jiatong replied, "It's Jiajia, Yu Sijia, the receptionist at our company. I even tried to pursue her before, but unfortunately she didn't like me."

Zhang Shuai'an only remembered that she had a pair of impressively large breasts, but he couldn't remember her name.

So she said to Ling Zhijian, "Call her up here."

At this point, Fatty Wang and the others also took their leave.

A short while later, Yu Sijia arrived at the office: "Boss, what did you call me up for?"

Zhang Shuai'an then took a serious look at her. Yu Sijia's appearance was indeed quite ordinary, with no major flaws but also no outstanding features. She bore a resemblance to Ye Zimei.

She is at least 1.68 meters tall, with good proportions that make her legs look long, and she is wearing black stockings.

Judging solely by her face, she'd probably be around a 6 out of 10; judging solely by her figure, around an 8 out of 10; but even combined, she'd only be a 6.5.

Minute.

Zhang Shuai'an asked, "Which university did you graduate from? What did you major in? How's your English?"

"I graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a degree in Business Administration," Yu Sijia answered Zhang Shuai'an's first two questions directly in standard British English.

The second one needs no further explanation.

Zhang Shuai'an asked, "Then why didn't you pursue further studies?"

"I have money now." Yu Sijia's answer was quite realistic. "I had considered studying in the UK before, but the tuition was too high, and I also offended the professor who wrote me the recommendation letter, so I gave up the idea for the time being. Now I want to earn some money for a few years before studying abroad."

"Okay." Zhang Shuai'an pointed at her and said, "I'm temporarily hiring you as my secretary for two years. If you perform well, I'll cover your tuition fees for studying abroad."

"Really?" Yu Sijia was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Boss, are you kidding me?"

Zhang Shuai'an shook his head: "I never joke."

"So, are you trying to seduce me?" Yu Sijia asked in astonishment.

Zhang Shuai'an said speechlessly, "Aren't you overthinking it? I'm surrounded by beautiful women—Cherie Chung, Rosamund Kwan, Angie Chiu—aren't they all prettier than you?"

"But I have bigger breasts than all of them," Yu Sijia said simply and directly. "That professor just wanted to take advantage of my breasts. I hit him, and that's why he withdrew his recommendation letter."

Zhang Shuai'an: "————"

After a few seconds of silence, he licked his lips and said irritably, "I'm going to the US on a business trip next Friday and I need a secretary who speaks English and can take care of my daily needs. If you're interested, come with me."

Then he added with a smile, "Of course, if you think I'm a pervert who'll take advantage of you, then you should think carefully."

"No need to think about it." Yu Sijia nodded. "Such a good opportunity, of course I'm going. Besides, boss, you're so handsome, you have a bright future. If you dare to take advantage of me, I'll get pregnant and have ten or eight sons, and squeeze all your money out of you!"

"Pfft!" Zhang Shuai'an was taking a sip of tea when he suddenly spat it out.

He wiped his mouth, pointed at Yu Sijia, and laughed, "You get the hell out of here. Get ready, get your visa sorted out, we're leaving together next Friday."
