……

"The director is from Peking University? And he used to be a CCTV reporter?"

Wang Yue had just clicked into Weibo when she was stunned by a series of trending topics: "Could it be that he went into the factory to secretly investigate something?"

Wang Yue quickly shook her head: "No, why would I care about that?"

"Jiang Yuan is actually playing Dongfang Yuqing! So he quit and became an actor?"

Wang Yue's mood instantly brightened.

For a fan of Touhou Project...

There's nothing more satisfying than having your favorite character played by an outstanding and fitting actor.

Although she and Yang Chaoyue had conflicts, it didn't stop her from genuinely liking Jiang Yuan.

Even though Jiang Yuan treated her coldly that day, she couldn't bear to blame him.

Instead, they felt it was Yang Chaoyue's fault that caused the misunderstanding.

Last night, she even fantasized about how Jiang Yuan and she would clear up their misunderstanding in the future.

The scene of her trying to win back her love is heartbreaking...

Instead of paying attention to the trending topics, Wang Yue went to the official account of "The Journey of Flower" to prepare to drool over the screen.

Clicking on the official account of "The Journey of Flower" revealed the nine-grid promotional photos.

Wang Yue immediately spotted Jiang Yuan's strikingly handsome photo, dressed as a scholar.

"Wow, he's so handsome! How can he be so handsome? It suits him so well!"

Wang Yue couldn't help but zoom in, scrutinizing the screen from top to bottom, thoroughly admiring it.

"Who does Zhang Danfeng think he is? Does he even deserve to play Dongfang Yuqing? He's not even worthy to carry Jiang Yuan's shoes."

After leaving the show, Wang Yue also took a jab at Zhang Danfeng, saying, "At least the Journey of Flower production team had some foresight, knowing that Dongfang couldn't be played on the street, so they found Jiang Yuan to play the role."

She completely forgot who had previously called the Hua Qiangu production team idiots.

Wang Yue was about to save the photos when she discovered something different.

"Qingshui – played by Yang Chaoyue."

The auntie smile on Wang Yue's face vanished instantly, leaving her face as black as charcoal.

"No way, does this stupid production team even know how to cast actors? They've only cast trash for the female roles."

The cast and crew of "The Journey of Flower": Left and right brain fighting each other? You're the idiot.

……

Wang Yue returned to her dormitory feeling utterly exhausted.

Everyone was talking about the same thing, making Fang Jie and the others feel awkward.

Yu Li was overjoyed: "I never expected that Chao Yue would quit her job and become a star with the director."

"I'm just an actor, I go to act."

"Anyway, the gist is that he's going to be a star someday. This morning, the people in the workshop were saying that it would be a game-changer for the foreman to become a star, and tonight it really happened."

"Tch, I think Yang Chaoyue is just sucking up to the director. Otherwise, how could a factory girl who didn't even finish junior high school become a star? She's just lucky."

Yu Li frowned: "We're all still factory girls, none of us are more noble than Chaoyue. It's not nice to talk about her like that, after all, Chaoyue came from our dormitory."

"Heh, she wouldn't consider herself part of our group."

Wang Yue spoke up at this moment, unable to resist making sarcastic remarks, which drew agreement from the others.

Upon hearing this, Yu Li fell silent and made up her mind to move dormitories.

Surprisingly, not a single person in this dorm can stand seeing others doing well.

the next day.

Yu Li deliberately lagged behind, packed her things, and prepared to find an opportunity to change dormitories.

She arrived late and entered the workshop.

Then Liu Lan let out a hearty laugh:

"What did I say? The director must be extraordinary. He's a top student from Peking University and even worked as a CCTV reporter."

"Yes, Sister Liu, now the director and Chaoyue are going to become actors. In the future, I can tell my children that I know celebrities."

One male employee scoffed, "So what if I'm a celebrity? When my kids grow up, I'll have to brag to them that I graduated from Peking University, that I'm a CCTV reporter who interviewed drug lords and people involved in armed conflicts, and that I taught them how to fasten buttons. That'll make me look good."

"What if your child is a daughter?" one of the female employees joked.

The male employee scratched his head: "Then I'll just tell her I know a celebrity. With our director's good looks, he'll definitely be a big star in the future. My daughter will be so envious of me."

The inconsistency in his statement immediately sparked laughter throughout the workshop.

"If you ask me, it still has to be Fang Mei and Wang Yue. They were arguing with me in the cafeteria yesterday, saying that Chao Yue wanted to go home and marry a scoundrel."

After laughing, Liu Lan did not forget her original intention and turned her anger towards Fang Mei and Wang Yue.

"Fang Mei is being a bit unfair. She's twice as old as Chao Yue, and she doesn't act like an elder in the dormitory. Instead of taking care of the young girl, she bullies her."

"Wang Yue is the same. Chao Yue is tall and graceful. She used to only take money and act as a middleman for unreliable goods, which scared Chao Yue."

"In their dorm, everyone except Yu Li didn't really like Chao Yue. Now look what's happened, she's about to become a star, and they've ruined all their good connections. Why wasn't Chao Yue assigned to our dorm?!"

People in the workshop were pointing and whispering about Wang Yuefangmei and the others in the dormitory.

Wang Yuefang, Mei, and the others were furious, but there were too many people.

Given that he lacked confidence in his actions, he could only respond with an awkward smile.

"Haha." Liu Lan laughed even harder when she saw this.

Although Yu Li wasn't criticized, she still felt awkward because they were roommates.

"I can't wait any longer, I'll move to the dormitory during my lunch break!" Yu Li muttered to herself.

……

The workshop was bustling with activity.

Jiang Yuan was extremely tired at that moment.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yu pulled him out of bed to prepare for registering a studio.

"Boss, what time did you go to bed last night?"

Xiao Yu acted as the driver, bringing her own car from home.

A brand new BMW X5 that was launched in February of this year.

The lowest price is over 800,000, which is much more expensive than the BBC, which has seen price reductions for more than ten years.

No wonder she's Xiao Yu, the rich second-generation heiress from a factory.

"Two o'clock, played some League of Legends." Jiang Yuan yawned.

"It wasn't that late. I slept with Xiaotian and the others last night. They were so excited they couldn't sleep and kept me watching TV until two or three in the morning."

Xiao Yu filed a complaint.

"What are you watching that's keeping you up so late?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

"It's the 'Legend of Lu Zhen' that aired last year. Those girls said they wanted to act with Zhao Liying. She's a big star, so they had to do their homework."

"oh."

Jiang Yuan hadn't watched the TV series that made Zhao Liying famous, but he didn't plan to either, since it wasn't Zhao Liying who acted in it.

He was even more curious: "Xiao Yu, why did you decide to drive an X5? Shouldn't girls prefer smaller cars?"

"My dad has one, I drove it and thought it was pretty good, so I bought one too."

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "As for small size, it depends on the person."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "That's true, it depends on the person. Mo Tong even drives a van."

"Hehe, boss, I actually wanted to give an example just now, but I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to say it, so I didn't."

The two spent the morning verifying the name, preparing materials, and registering with the business.

To open a studio, you need a place to work.

"Let's find a place to rent a room."

Jiang Yuan thought that renting a house would be fine; his personal studio didn't need to be bought.

Xiao Yu waved his hand dismissively: "Boss, why do we need to rent? I already have a place!"

Xiao Yu directly took one of her properties and used it as her registered work address.

Business registration and document review are the most time-consuming parts.

In this regard, Xiao Yu called her father again and pulled some strings.

Jiang Yuan was so embarrassed.

So, all he needs to do is become famous and a person?

By the afternoon, everything was done.

Xiao Yu clapped his hands: "It should be approved and the license obtained in a few days. Then you can sign the contract with Hua Qiangu and have them transfer part of the money first."

"Is it given to you before the shoot?"

Jiang Yuan was unfamiliar with acting since it was her first time.

"Yes, that's basically how it is. They give 30% to 50% before filming, some more halfway through filming, and the rest is settled after filming wraps up."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that the Civil Engineering Institute wasn't as sacred as the Civil Engineering Saints had described.

Payment for a construction project can be delayed for several years or even more than a decade.

Where can you find anything as exhilarating as the entertainment industry?

Sure enough, the Civil Engineering Saint is finding joy even in hardship!

On the way back.

"By the way, have you thought about what happened yesterday?"

Xiao Yu asked, "Sister Tong and the others all agree, they're just waiting for your decision."

Jiang Yuan recalled what they had talked about while driving here last night.

Xiao Yu suggested that Li Yitong and the others sign with his studio first.

Signing a new contract with the "The Journey of Flower" production team would save a lot of money.

Sister Meng and Xiao Tian agreed.

"Can."

Jiang Yuan had no objection. "We'll set the penalty for breach of contract low in the contract we sign, so they can leave whenever they want."

Jiang Yuan felt that he didn't have many resources to offer the girls.

He's not the type to strive for success.

The focus is more on the user experience than on the outcome, and resources are not demanded too much.

Resources come to him, but he still has to be selective.

If he really wanted to pursue resources and success, he might as well just break the seal on the jade pendant.

Someone else's "Grandpa, I want this."

The possible outcome is, "Even Grandpa couldn't do it."

But his motto was, "God, I want it all."

This will trigger the fate mechanism: "You can't take it all, you can't take it all at all."

But that would be too boring.

Using cheats too much in a game will make people lose interest and eventually quit.

……

Jiang Yuan was lost in thought when her phone vibrated.

There are only a few people who have not received any messages and are on silent.

He opened the message and saw the message Tian Xiwei had sent him.

Tian Xiwei: [Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan.]

Tian Xiwei: [I picked up my parents.]

Tian Xiwei: [Isn't my little sister cute? She's twelve years younger than me.]

Xiaotian also posted photos of herself picking up her parents and sister at the airport in Xiaoshan.

Li Yitong was also there.

Xiaotian's younger sister is a cute little girl, just like her, and looks about four or five years old.

Today he went to register his studio, and Xiaotian and Motong went to pick him up at the airport.

Chaoyue and Sister Meng waited for the bus to pick up Chaoyue's father.

Jiang Yuan: [I'm glad everything went smoothly. You and your sister are both adorable.]

Jiang Yuan: [Why didn't you post this in the group chat?]

Tian Xiwei: [...]

On the other end of the phone, Tian Xiwei wrinkled her nose.

Type in the input box: 【Want to share this with you as soon as possible?】

The girl seemed to think it was too sentimental, and also felt really embarrassed, so she deleted it all.

……

Jiang Yuan hadn't waited long when she saw Xiao Tian send a new message.

Tian Xiwei: [Idiot Jiang Yuan, what are you so arrogant about!]

Tian Xiwei: 【（＃￣～￣＃）】

Jiang Yuan was a little confused. Was he that arrogant?

How did Xiaotian turn into a fierce little dog?

But it doesn't matter, he has a way.

Jiang Yuan: [Are you happy?]

Tian Xiwei: [Happy! My parents were also very happy to visit for the first time!]

Tian Xiwei: 【(*^▽^*)】

See, the fierce puppy turned into a kitten in no time.

Jiang Yuan is open to both online and offline activities.

They've already figured out the trick to instantly switching between the fierce little dog and the arrogant little cat.

Jiang Yuan: [As long as you're happy. You can spend a couple more days with your parents in Hangzhou. The signing will take a few more days, no rush.]

Tian Xiwei: [My parents said they wanted to have dinner with you all, and Chaoyue also told her dad.]

Jiang Yuan: [When?]

Tian Xiwei: [Today.]

Jiang Yuan: [Aren't you going to spend a few days there?]

Tian Xiwei: [There's plenty of time later. My parents want to thank you all; otherwise, they'd be worried I'd be kidnapped while I was out alone.]

Jiang Yuan: [Okay, I've finished my business here too.]

End the chat.

Jiang Yuan soon saw that Xiao Tian had posted many photos in the "Low Mountain Stinky Water Meets Soulmate" group.

Mencius and Yang Chaoyue started to post.

Jiang Yuan smiled and didn't send a message, but a short while later she received a call from Yang Chaoyue.

Yang Chaoyue: "Brother, my dad has arrived. Sister Meng has booked a hotel for him. Xiao Tian said we should have dinner together."

Jiang Yuan: "Yes, she told me. Xiao Yu and I will be back soon."

Yang Chaoyue: "Brother, was today alright? Are you tired?"

Jiang Yuan: "It went very smoothly. Xiao Yu did most of the work. I didn't do much, so I wasn't tired."

When Xiao Yu heard himself mentioned, he said loudly to Chao Yue, "The boss is very important; nothing could be done without him."

Jiang Yuan chuckled, thinking that it made sense; his studio really couldn't function without him.

"I know a few good restaurants. I'll take you there when I get back," Xiao Yu said loudly.

"Yes, Sister Yu, I heard you," Chaoyue said.

After the voice changed, another woman said to Jiang Yuan, "It's a pity that Sister Qian has something to do back home, otherwise she could have come too."

Jiang Yuan twitched the corner of her mouth; Meng Ziyi's mother did seem to have a lot of free time.

But is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

The reason Chaoyue and Xiaotian's parents are coming is because they are minors and need their guardians' signatures.

He complained, "Isn't that unnecessary? Don't tell me Motong wants her parents to come too."

"No, Tong's parents aren't coming. Tong can handle it all by herself."

After finishing her sentence, Sister Meng chattered on, "Brother, have you seen the photos Xiaotian posted in the group chat? Her little sister is so cute!"

"I saw it, it's quite cute."

Jiang Yuan didn't want to discuss this topic any further on Chao Yue's phone.

The main reason is that Chaoyue told him she also has a younger sister.

She's about the same age as Xiaotian.

She was born after her mother started a new family, and she is her half-brother.

We're not related; we've never met.

Chaoyue was still desperate and contacted her mother to ask for a job in the factory, only to find out that her mother had given birth to another daughter.

The girl was on the factory lawn, hugging her knees, looking at the sky, and smiling as she spoke to him:

"So I have a younger sister too. She must be very cute for Mom to like her."

Jiang Yuan remembered talking about this younger sister a few years after Chao Yue became famous.

They will help; all expenses before graduation will be covered.

But I won't help without limits; I have no lifelong obligation to support my family.

She will only do her best to support her father.

Jiang didn't want to talk.

But Yang Chaoyue, who was gradually becoming more cheerful beside him, took Meng Jie's place and spoke into the receiver:

"Brother, you're so cute, you look just like Oda."

"She's a miniature version of Oda! I can't wait to pinch her little cheeks!"

Jiang Yuan smiled upon hearing this.

She doesn't seem so insecure and withdrawn anymore.

It's better to let it go.
