What gives him the right?

How could Lu Zichuan possess all of this so easily?

By what right can such a tour subtly demonstrate the vast difference between the two sides?

He recalled Lu Zichuan's casual remark about "being classmates" and the 30% commission, which now seemed like nothing more than spare change that Lu Zichuan casually used to appease a beggar!

The other party wasn't cooperating with him at all; they were giving him handouts, telling him in the most elegant way: everything about you, Xu Zhesheng, is insignificant in my eyes.

A chill that seeped into his very bones, mixed with the ignited poisonous fire of ambition, exploded violently in his chest.

He, Xu Zhesheng, a prodigy who climbed his way up from the mountains in the countryside, must never be trampled underfoot forever!

He was fed up with having to read people's faces, fed up with bowing down for resources, and fed up with having to hide even his jealousy!

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, leaving several crescent-shaped bloody marks.

He forced himself to straighten his spine, which was almost bent by invisible pressure, and stared intently at Lu Zichuan's name and the logo of Jiangxing Entertainment on the screen, his eyes surging with an almost obsessive madness.

"Assistant Wang, I'm done shopping. Thank you for your company. I'll be going now."

As he walked out of the gates of Jiangxing Entertainment, Xu Zhesheng looked up at the massive building.

He knew this was a place he would never be able to reach in his entire life.

But he never accepted his fate. Lu Zichuan was only born into a slightly better family than him. If it weren't for the support of the Lu family in Beijing, he might not have even achieved half of what he has today.

He's not like him at all.

He doesn't rely on his family; he relies on himself, and he will definitely be able to own a building that belongs to Xu Zhesheng!

......

Shen Zhiyi was discharged from the hospital after only one day; it was just a minor cold, and she could handle it.

Finish the movie as soon as possible so that you can completely sever ties with Hsu Che-sheng.

It wasn't until Thursday night that Shen Zhiyi and her colleagues worked overtime until late into the night to finally finish the movie.

A group of people sat in the screening room and watched the movie from beginning to end. Their expressions changed from initial excitement to more intriguing changes in the middle and later parts of the film.

"I feel that there is a big difference between the first half and the second half, especially Su Manman's face. The difference between the realistic style in the first half and the exquisite style in the second half makes it feel like two different movies."

"And the background and lighting..."

"Sister Zhi, weren't you the one who helped Director Xu check things out before? Why did you stop taking care of it afterward?"

The people sitting next to Shen Zhiyi were discussing in hushed tones. Yu Meng'an also frowned and leaned closer to Shen Zhiyi to ask.

Shen Zhiyi was naturally aware of the vast difference between the beginning and the end of the film. She pursed her lips. She had mentioned these details to Xu Zhesheng before, but he hadn't taken them seriously. Now that the film had turned out this way, making changes was impossible...

Her gaze fell on Xu Zhesheng and Su Manman, who were sitting at the front.

The two sat next to each other, and after watching the movie, Su Manman was so moved that she cried.

Xu Zhesheng was wiping away her tears while whispering something in her ear, making Su Manman laugh and cry at the same time, seemingly without any concern about the success of the film.

As the film's distributor, Lu Zichuan was naturally invited to participate in the screening.

He sat in the corner, surrounded by some staff members. After watching the film, they all remained silent, looking at each other. No one dared to speak before Lu Zichuan spoke.

They are all professionals, so they can naturally tell that the scenes about Su Manman in the second half of the movie were done by AI, which is a major taboo in the film industry.

With a "snap," the lights in the projection room came on.

Everyone narrowed their eyes.

Xu Zhesheng stood up, bowed to everyone, and said sincerely, "Thank you all for your hard work during this time. The film has been successfully completed, and I am quite satisfied with the current results. I wonder if anyone has any further comments, especially regarding President Lu's side..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Zichuan, his face bearing his usual arrogance.

Lu Zichuan sat with his legs crossed, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing.

At this moment, Su Manman stood up with red eyes, a few tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes. Her voice was choked with emotion but she couldn't hide her excitement: "Let me share my thoughts first. I've been following this movie the whole time, and I've seen how difficult it was from beginning to end."

"The filming was tough, but it was nothing compared to the hard work of Director Xu. His work on the set design and his guidance to us actors was immense. This film tells the story of a small-town girl's growth, and when I was filming it, I felt like I was seeing myself in it."

"I also came to Beijing step by step from a small town. From an insignificant girl who could be replaced at any time, to becoming the leading lady in Director Xu's films today, it has really not been easy, so I have a lot of feelings."

"Especially in the later stages, seeing myself becoming more and more beautiful than before made me feel like I was in another world."

"I think this is the meaning of hard work. This movie will definitely resonate with many people, and it's all thanks to everyone's efforts. I'm truly grateful to everyone!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, revealing her genuine emotions.

As she spoke, Xu Zhesheng watched her tenderly from the side, a doting smile on his lips.

Everything she said resonated with him. Although the style of the later parts was different from the earlier ones, it still conveyed the meaning he wanted to express.

Previously, Shen Zhiyi always liked to interfere with his work, but now that Su Manman is here, she has finally returned to her position as the editor. The subsequent content was filmed entirely according to his own wishes, which is something he has never been satisfied with before.

No man likes to be tied down by a woman.

After Su Manman finished speaking, he was the first to lead the applause.

He clapped, and the other employees joined in.

The sound of applause echoed throughout the screening room.

Yu Meng'an rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Is Director Xu blind? Everyone knows his message, but the later plot is really terrible... What are they trying to ignite?"

Her voice was soft and drowned out by the applause, so it couldn't possibly reach Xu Zhesheng's ears.

Shen Zhi looked at Xu Zhesheng's satisfied expression with a hint of helplessness. Oh well, she had already completed her work and obtained the director's approval, so the rest was none of her business.

Seeing that someone had started speaking, others who wanted to show off also stood up and said a few words, but they were all flattering Xu Zhesheng and were not very helpful.

At this moment, Lu Zichuan lazily sat up, looking at the group of people who were incredibly excited, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Director Xu, on another masterpiece. Don't worry, we will carry out the publicity and distribution of this film according to the normal procedures. We would also appreciate it if the lead actors could attend."

He said it calmly, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.
