Chapter 5

The sound of the elevator arriving at the floor used exclusively by the CEO rang out. Xu Mi, who was busy processing data, was startled. She glanced at the time displayed in the bottom right corner of her computer screen and stood up in confusion, heading over to greet the arrival.

“Boss, why are you back so early?”

Shouldn’t they be celebrating with a meal after getting their marriage certificate?

Before getting the certificate a few days ago, Fang Xianxing would still have Xu Mi make restaurant reservations and buy movie tickets. But now that they’ve gotten the certificate, there’s nothing?

Fang Xianxing’s steady and rhythmic steps subtly paused for a moment, and she raised her eyebrows slightly before striding directly towards her office.

Xu Mi didn’t receive an answer, but she understood not to pursue the matter. She stepped forward to open the office door for Fang Xianxing, instantly switching into work mode: “Ms. Song Longsha just left. Before leaving, she left behind a cooperative investment plan, which I have already placed on your desk.”

Fang Xianxing was taken aback. She walked to the edge of her desk and picked up the plan, not even opening it before asking, “She’s just a small-time actress. Why is she giving me a cooperative investment plan?”

“It’s about the TV series ‘Yuan Shun Empress’ that Ms. Song is currently filming. Recently, the second female lead had a scandal and withdrew from the crew, also taking two investors with her. The production is now short on funds. According to Ms. Song, the director feels she’s quite suitable and wants to have her, the fourth female lead, replace the second female lead. But now the production is short on funds, and the director wants to use the second female lead’s role to attract investment.”

Xu Mi opened the tablet in her hands, tapped the screen a few times with her fingertips, and presented it to Fang Xianxing.

“This drama follows the archaeological hotspot surrounding Wen Ru’s tomb that started five years ago. Recently, another stone tablet related to Wen Ru was discovered in Fengjie Sea, further increasing the popularity. In recent years, related novels and manga investments have had good returns. Personally, I believe that with the current lineup and popularity, as long as they finish filming, this drama will not lose money.”

“Of course, if you decide to invest, Boss, further review will be necessary.”

Wen Ru again.

Hearing about her several times a day.

Isn’t it a bit like an inescapable ghost?

Fang Xianxing took the tablet, her expression seemingly unchanged, but in reality, she felt genuine resistance in her heart.

She looked through the glamorous character posters on the tablet one by one. Her fingertips swiped back, stopping on the second female lead.

The second female lead was the one involved in the scandal.

A week ago, two male celebrities were fighting online over their ranking, and the fight escalated to involve her, arguing over who came first and who was the true love. This blew up into a big deal.

Actually, it just meant that the fans suddenly had two more brothers-in-law. They weren’t married, so it could only be considered as not being faithful enough, having a low moral bottom line, and being a bit of a player.

Unfortunately, it just so happened that the character she was playing was the recently popular Wen Ru. She was immediately met with strong opposition from a large number of people. The second female lead didn’t want this matter to ruin her career, so she consciously withdrew from the cast.

“Song Longsha really wants this second female lead role?” Fang Xianxing turned off the tablet and looked up at Xu Mi. “Didn’t she say she didn’t want help from her family?”

Xu Mi smiled slightly. “That’s why she couldn’t say it in front of you.”

Fang Xianxing suddenly realized that the reason Song Longsha had suddenly run in front of her and talked nonsense for a while was because she had something on her mind and was throwing a tantrum.

Fang Xianxing’s company had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, but money was universal after all. Spending money to support her sister was no big deal, but did Song Longsha want to play Wen Ru?

Right now, no, from now on, Fang Xianxing never wanted to hear the name Wen Ru again.

Fortunately, she wasn’t that impulsive of a person in the end.

“Give the plan to the investment department and the public relations and advertising department. Give me feedback in three days. If the amount of investment required by the production is too high, have them provide an additional reference amount. I will personally make up the rest.” Fang Xianxing directly handed the plan and tablet to Xu Mi. She had no mood to work at all right now.

After finishing her report, Xu Mi was about to leave, but she still couldn’t help but be concerned about her boss’s personal matters.

“Boss, do you need me to make a restaurant reservation for tonight? You and Mr. Xie just got married. The sky view restaurant at Cloud Watching Tower is quite suitable.”
