Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

"President Ji, you're busy, but please come visit often when you have time." Yuan Hong waved goodbye to Ji Yun in the elevator with a friendly smile.

Ji Yun nodded, a little confused, wondering why he was suddenly being so friendly.

Wait for the elevator doors to close.

Ji Yun handed Wang Baoqiang's contact information to Xiao Zhao beside her.

"Go send the script to his agent. The fee is 50. Given his current popularity, we can negotiate up to 70."

Ji Yun looked at the note that Wang Baoqiang's agent's surname was "Song" and guessed that the other party was the future "top influencer" agent who would cause a sensation throughout the country.

"Okay." Xiao Zhao took the note. "What about Xu Zheng?"

"His phone number and address are listed above. I'll visit him in person; that would be more sincere, since we look almost like a scam company right now."

Ji Yun took the elevator alone to the underground parking garage.

I had just gotten into the car and fastened my seatbelt when I heard a gentle knock on the car window.

He turned his head and saw Liu Shishi standing outside the car window, smiling shyly.

She wore a black down jacket over a gray turtleneck sweater, a dignified and elegant color scheme that was both simple and stylish.

Even with such a voluptuous style of dress, her figure remained slender and upright, like an elegant swan from a fairy tale.

Ji Yun hadn't had a chance to get a good look at her upstairs, but now, under this close scrutiny, she was still strikingly beautiful, her skin practically glowing with a luminous sheen.

At this point, the "young teacher" has not yet evolved into the elegant and intellectual "married woman teacher" of the future, but she carries a lively and refreshing temperament.

When a future top female celebrity appears timidly less than a meter away, the immense visual and mental impact leaves one somewhat dazed.

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment before remembering to roll down the car window: "Is there something you need, Senior Sister?"

"Are you going to discuss a film contract? I happen to be free, and Sister Cai asked me to help you out," Liu Shishi said haltingly, clearly a child who gets nervous when lying.

Ji Yun was a little confused. Was this an undercover agent sent by Boss Cai? A honey trap?

While he is indeed very beautiful, this is a gross underestimation of his composure!

He unlocked the door, gestured with his head, and said, "Get in the car."

He wanted to see the power of the honey trap!

Liu Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a black Chanel bag, and took small steps around the car before getting inside.

The door slammed shut, and a faint scent of fresh grass wafted in, bringing a strange sense of joy.

But neither of them knew how to start the conversation, and they immediately fell into a stalemate.

"Uh, let me call Xu Zheng first."

Ji Yun changed the subject and dialed the number on the note with her phone.

A song came through the receiver; it was "Above the Moon," one of the most popular ringtones at the moment.

I waited for almost a minute, until the call automatically ended, but no one answered.

Ji Yun tried twice more, but the result was the same.

"Maybe it's out of power, and they forgot to change the batteries," Liu Shishi whispered a reminder.

Ji Yun then remembered that these days, mobile phones can not only be charged, but also have their batteries replaced; it's truly a great invention.

"Let's go straight to his house then, it's not too far from here." Ji Yun glanced at the address, it was in the JA district, about a 20-minute drive away.

"Okay." Liu Shishi nodded her little head, her hair fluttering, smooth and shiny.

Then, she obediently reached out and fastened her seatbelt, sitting quietly.

------

The BMW sped along the road.

At this time, Shanghai did not look nearly as prosperous as it would be twenty years later, and the era of large-scale infrastructure construction had not yet reached its true peak.

But a magnificent era is about to sweep in like a flood, and the international trend of Eastward rise and Westward decline is unstoppable.

The historic turning point of 2008 is comparable to 49 and 78.

The foreseeable future will be the most wonderful decade for the country and the happiest decade for its people.

The Shanghai Composite Index reached a record high of 6124.04 points a month ago, a number that has not been surpassed again in the next twenty years.

Everything seemed to be thriving, with buildings on the street getting taller and taller, and even the pedestrians on the road seemed to have a kind of high spirits.

It was noisy outside, but surprisingly quiet inside the car.

The two of them sat there without saying a word. The two of them were together.

Ji Yun could sense that Liu Shishi would occasionally peek at her through the gap in her hair, but she wouldn't say a word.

Ji Yun wasn't one to chat idly, so she simply focused on driving.

The key to the success of the blockbuster film "Lost on Journey," which is watched every year, lies in its subject matter and its two lead actors. Both are indispensable, and there are almost no substitutes on the market.

Taking down these two people is like winning half the battle.

The car drove all the way to the foot of a tall building and parked on the street.

These days, property security isn't too strict. The two followed the address and made their way into the building, taking the elevator to the 16th floor.

When they arrived at house number "1601", Ji Yun checked the address to confirm that it was correct.

He was about to knock on the door when he heard a loud "bang" from inside the house, as if something had been smashed to the ground.

"..." The two looked at each other in bewilderment, and Ji Yun's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of arguing came from inside.

"How many times has this happened? Going to clubs is one thing, but hiring young models and getting photographed is another. Do you know how sleazy you look in the photos?!"

"It's just a man's socializing, don't make a fuss."

"What?! One set of photos cost 10 yuan! This is the third time already! You only film a few movies a year!"

"What good movies are there for me right now? Don't worry about it, I'm too tired, let me sleep a little longer."

"You bastard, do you even have five minutes? What are you working for?!"

......

Ji Yun silently withdrew her hand, which was about to knock on the door.

He turned his head awkwardly, only to find that Liu Shishi had already listened with her face flushed red and her head bowed low.

"I suddenly remembered that since this is our first visit, shouldn't we buy some gifts first?"

Liu Shishi paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes!"

They exchanged a glance, and then both fled in panic.

......

Ji Yun reached the bottom of the stairs and breathed a long sigh of relief.

But then they heard Liu Shishi make the same sound.

After looking at each other, they both smiled.

The initial awkwardness between them instantly dissipated.

"Let's go, let's take a look around first." Ji Yun took the lead.

Liu Shishi obediently followed.

The two of them strolled around Shanghai in the dead of winter.

Ji Yun is 184 cm tall and walks fast; occasionally, she will slow down to wait for him.

The two chatted idly the whole way.

She told Ji Yun about the movies she had acted in and what she had found difficult to adjust to after coming to the South...

Ji Yun also talked about how she went back to study acting and how she got into the Shanghai Theatre Academy based on her looks...

Time seemed to fly by all of a sudden.

An hour later.

Ji Yun bought a basket of fruit from the fruit shop and handed it to her, then went to the tobacco and liquor store and bought a bottle of Moutai.

The two returned to the door.

This time, he didn't knock on the door immediately, but waited a while to make sure that the arguing inside had stopped.

I knocked on the door a few times.

"Coming," a woman's voice came from inside the door.

Then, the door opened from the inside.

Inside the door was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure and a mature and elegant demeanor; she looked like a ripe and juicy peach.
