The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 320 The child of a great director and the first leading lady in film history: The entertainment industry is about to welcome the strongest crown prince!

……

This wasn't the first time Lu Zhiyuan had experienced the benefits of cooperating with Jing Tian.

But this time, he didn't have much hope.

After all, he has a weakness!

Gao Yuanyuan is pregnant... but Dilraba is not!

He wouldn't be surprised no matter what news broke next.

Even though he had made very thorough preparations, even the wisest can make a mistake... having another woman would be a moral failing.

If Jing Tian has this weakness against him, he won't be able to say anything!

Anyway, Jing Tian just wanted to work with him on a movie.

I won't let him do anything bad.

As for making movies, as long as the other party pays him, he can do the job very well!
As a director, his professional attitude is impeccable.

So, such a small flaw is really not a big deal for a historically great director like him!
At most, he'll end up like Zhang Yimou, getting ridiculed and losing his reputation in his later years!
wrong!

He's not even 30 yet.

One can only say that this talented man was a womanizer and made a mistake that all men make!

only……

This time, Jing Tian's reaction still surprised him somewhat.

"Brother-in-law, I had Secretary Li speak with the people at Weibo. From now on, the name Gao Yuanyuan will be placed on a special list. Any mention of her name will be subject to immediate manual review!"

"A single negative message will result in a warning, and a second offense will lead to an account suspension!"

A few days later, Jing Tian arranged to meet Lu Zhiyuan and brought him some good news.

For at least a year, Gao Yuanyuan will become an unmentionable and mysterious figure online.

No one will ever mention her again!

As for Yuankun Media, Gao Yuanyuan has started a long vacation due to health issues.

The company's CFO has temporarily taken over Gao Yuanyuan's daily work.

As for the position of "Executive Producer" for the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend," after fierce competition among various parties, the stellar Mr. Li ultimately emerged victorious.

However, in addition to Mr. Li, Mr. Ye from Wanda, Mr. Wang from Huayi Brothers, and Mr. Kang from China Film Group all sent people over.

No one except Lu Zhiyuan can get special treatment on this project!
The various forces are all checking and balancing each other.

"Tian Tian, ​​what trick are you playing now? Don't call me brother-in-law. That's a weird way to address me!"

Lu Zhiyuan was truly impressed.

Jing Tian changed her tactics every day, catching him completely off guard.

“Brother-in-law, Yuanyuan and I have become sworn sisters, and her son is my son.”

"You're the father of her son, so aren't you my brother-in-law?"

"My sister is pregnant, and my sister-in-law keeps asking my brother-in-law to meet her every few days. What else could she be up to?"

While Lu Zhiyuan was still in a daze, Jing Tian sat down next to him, put her arm around his, and leaned her head against him.

Doesn't it offer a thrilling challenge to ethics?
No matter how cunning you are, you probably never expected that I would resort to this trick!
Hey!
"Tian Tian, ​​did you not wash your hair today? It smells weird. Don't get too close to me, I can't stand the smell."

Lu Zhiyuan also had a trick up his sleeve to deal with Jing Tian.

"impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian almost jumped up on the spot, repeatedly emphasizing, "I just washed my hair this morning. Besides, I sprayed some on before I went out, how could it possibly smell?"

"It must be because it's too hot, and I was wearing a hat, so I was sweating."

Ahhhhh!
Of course, there will be a smell after sweating.

After emphasizing it for a long time, Jing Tian finally realized that what Lu Zhiyuan said was true, which shattered her goddess image.

She couldn't wait to get home and wash her hair again.

Anyway, thank you.

When Lu Zhiyuan saw Jing Tian's somewhat frantic appearance, it reminded him of the little cat he used to have, which would frantically lick its fur after being soaked in the rain.

He smiled softly.

Noticing Jing Tian glaring at him, Lu Zhiyuan realized he shouldn't have laughed.

He put away his smile and said seriously, "I will design the role of the Queen Mother of the West for you."

"You want to be a big star, that's your dream. Since I have the ability, I will definitely help you realize that dream."

"However, our relationship may never be the same again. I hope you understand this soon."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhiyuan took out his phone to pay the bill.

Jing Tian stopped him, her tone tinged with a hint of melancholy and nostalgia: "Never mind, I'll pay. I've known you for so long, when did you ever develop the habit of paying the bill?"

"Then I won't be polite to you."

Lu Zhiyuan put away his phone and ordered a jasmine green grape cream cake.

Under Jing Tian's questioning gaze, he explained, "Yuanyuan likes to eat this."

You might as well say nothing!

I'm so angry!
Jing Tian said through gritted teeth, "You're such a good brother-in-law! I believe my sister will be very happy in the future!"

"Thank you for your kind words. Goodbye."

After a while, Lu Zhiyuan got the cream cake he wanted, waved to Jing Tian, ​​and turned to leave.

Jing Tian sat in the coffee shop, finding fault with everyone.

After a while, she paid the bill and said to the waiter, "Give me one of those green grape cream cakes too!"

……

on the way back.

When Zhao Shanshan saw that Jing Tian had brought a cake, she immediately guessed what was going on and said with a smile, "Your relationship has been developing quite well lately. He even treated you to cake?"

Is it strange that my brother-in-law invited my sister-in-law to eat cake?

Jing Tian asked a question with a displeased look, then opened the cake in the car and shared a piece with Zhao Shanshan.

The cake tasted delicious.

Jing Tian felt even more aggrieved and almost cried: "I didn't expect this cake to be so delicious. He's never treated me to one before."

Zhao Shanshan, standing nearby, quietly added, "At least, I'll treat you to a meal now."

Where can I get a meal?
I bought this myself!

Jing Tian had no way to express her grievances, so she turned to Zhao Shanshan and said, "Take a look at the address on the cake and buy that coffee shop for me!"

Zhao Shanshan was already used to this situation, and said with a smile, "I understand. I'll have someone talk to them tomorrow. From now on, we'll place an order with this store every week and send them to Starlight Splendor to treat all the employees."

Jing Tian swallowed a bite of cake and added, "Send some to Yuankun Media as well. In Gao Yuanyuan's name. Let Dilraba feel the pressure!"

Zhao Shanshan gave Jing Tian a thumbs up.

Jing Tian is indeed skilled in palace intrigue.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhiyuan disliked women engaging in palace intrigue!

……

At Gao Yuanyuan's home.

Under Lu Zhiyuan's mother's watchful eye, Gao Yuanyuan's daily routine became remarkably regular.

What time do you get up every day? What do you eat every day? How many meals do you eat a day? Each meal includes various vegetables, fruits, and meats.

They are all quantitative and timed.

These kinds of nutritious meals, although nutritionally balanced, are often hard to eat.

After living like this for a while, Gao Yuanyuan was on the verge of tears.

At that moment, Lu Zhiyuan opened the door and came in carrying a jasmine green grape cream cake, making Gao Yuanyuan feel that Lu Zhiyuan was the hero who came to save her riding on auspicious clouds!

The most handsome man in the entire universe!
"Yuanyuan, my mom went downstairs to buy groceries. Eat quickly."

"Thanks husband!"

The cream cake was delicious, but the feeling of secretly doing something naughty with Lu Zhiyuan made Gao Yuanyuan's heart flutter. She felt especially sweet inside and in her mouth.

It's double the sweetness!

"Yuanyuan, I have to go out to scout locations in a couple of days. The film crew can't hold on any longer. You take good care of yourself at home and have a healthy pregnancy. I'll video call you whenever I have time."

Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan are both exceptionally good.

Lu Zhiyuan originally thought that the two of them would fight each other openly and secretly, so he did not want to have his cake and eat it too at first.

Surprisingly, after spending a year together, they hardly ever argued.

Moreover, the two of them have a particularly good understanding.

This put Lu Zhiyuan at ease.

When Dilraba noticed that he hadn't come to Gao Yuanyuan's place today, she even sent him a message to remind him what kind of cake Gao Yuanyuan liked, and asked him to buy one for her while he was there.

Actually, Lu Zhiyuan had already bought the cake when he received the text message.

However, Dilraba's concern for Gao Yuanyuan filled Lu Zhiyuan with a complex feeling, making him feel indebted to Dilraba.

"My mom's coming back soon, so I'm taking the cake scraps with me to avoid her nagging me again. You be careful too, and remember to wipe your mouth clean and rinse it."

After Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he kissed Gao Yuanyuan and then gave her a gentle hug.

This feeling of having an affair was more anticipated than being together every day, and it made Gao Yuanyuan cherish this hard-won warmth even more.

"I'll see you again tomorrow."

Lu Zhiyuan had heard that pregnant women's tempers are very unstable, but Gao Yuanyuan herself had a very gentle temper, and it seemed that she hadn't changed much after becoming pregnant.

“Honey, I’ve recently started learning to paint, since I have nothing else to do at home anyway. I want to try to experience what your life is like.”

Gao Yuanyuan is very receptive to advice.

This suggestion was given to her by Jing Tian.

Because Lu Zhiyuan likes painting, and I will also come to like the art of painting, we will have a lot to talk about and endless stories to tell.

Life is long, and two people need to be in sync.

"Then I'll come back in a couple of days to check the homework."

Lu Zhiyuan was indeed very happy, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

Goodbye, Teacher Lu.

Gao Yuanyuan playfully called out "Teacher Lu," then lingered by the door, watching Lu Zhiyuan take the elevator down.

She suddenly felt a strong sense of anticipation for tomorrow.

This kind of interaction made Gao Yuanyuan feel very safe.

In the past, she was always afraid—afraid of falling in love with a man, getting him, and then easily losing him. Now, this way of getting along makes her feel very at ease.

……

Lu Zhiyuan returned home.

Dilraba wasn't home; it seems she went out to a spa with Gulnazar, Zhang Tianai, and a few other girls.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't say anything.

Isn't this what life is like for a rich woman?
Lu Zhiyuan went to the third floor, to his studio, and began to work.

After the art style of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was determined, he began to create concept art.

First, he sketched out a rough outline of the environment and the lighting effects he needed in his mind. Then, he went to scout locations, searching for the magnificent natural landscape he desired!

Since we're going to film the Kunlun Shrine, we naturally have to go to the Kunlun Mountains!
He likes location shooting!
They wish they could capture all the most magnificent landscapes on Earth in their movies.

This is much more interesting than filming any romance movies.

……

at the same time.

Inside a private beauty salon.

Dilraba, Gulnazar, Zhang Tianai, and Yang Mi were huddled together, whispering and discussing something.

Hanikezi is there too!

She started getting beauty treatments when she was 18!
In the future, aging will definitely be exceptionally slow!

"Senior Reba, let me state my position first: I will always support you."

Although Nazha can be quite silly at times, she is very clear about one thing: she has no connection with Gao Yuanyuan whatsoever.

It would not benefit Gao Yuanyuan at all if she became the company's boss's wife.

Although Dilraba was always wary of her, she did help her earn a lot of money. Dilraba even gave her the lead role in "Mojin: The Lost Legend."

If Dilraba wants to snatch it, Gulnazar definitely has no chance!
Zhang Tianai and Yang Mi nodded repeatedly: "Dilraba, we've been best friends for so many years, we'll definitely support you."

They are in a similar situation to Gulnazar; they have no connection with Gao Yuanyuan.

Moreover, Gao Yuanyuan belongs to a different faction within the company, and they are even somewhat hostile to each other.

Gao Yuanyuan's sudden pregnancy caught them all off guard!

If Dilraba falls from grace and Gao Yuanyuan takes over, all of them will be purged!
"Honey, what about you? What are your thoughts?"

Reba knew what the three people were thinking, but she only suspected Hanikezi.

This brat has been jumping around several times, making her very worried.

“Master’s wife, my opinion is to maintain the status quo. Whether it’s Sister Tian Tian, ​​you, or President Gao, you have all been very good to me.”

"I hope this situation can continue and that things don't get out of hand. I don't want to disturb the teacher's pursuit of the best in history."

Hanikezi has only one opinion.

She likes whoever Lu Zhiyuan likes.

She's here today mainly to infiltrate Lu Zhiyuan's inner circle and see what kind of schemes these people are up to.
If things escalate, she will choose to report it immediately!

“Teacher’s wife, please don’t blame me. When I was 13, I made a vow to my teacher that we would help each other and never leave each other for the rest of our lives.”

"He will take care of me for the rest of his life, and I will take care of him in his old age and see him off when he dies."

You can change your teacher's wife as you please, but you can only have one teacher.

Hanikezi is still quite sensible.

If it weren't for Lu Zhiyuan as a teacher, who would care about these three teachers' wives?
"Little traitor!"

Dilraba didn't say anything, but Gulnazar snorted and showed a hint of disdain.

Hanikezi said nonchalantly, "Sister Nazha, I've remembered that. I'll go tell the teacher later and say you bullied me. I'll cry right in front of him. What do you think will happen?"

Naza was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening and shamelessly begged for forgiveness: "Honey, I was wrong! Please don't tell Yuan Ge. It's not easy for me to get a leading role. This might be my only chance in my life. I beg you."

Because of a single wrong word, Nazha almost knelt down before Hanikezi.

Naza set a good example for everyone.

Aside from Reba, the other girls immediately realized that they couldn't afford to mess with Hanikezi!
This is Lu Zhiyuan's most beloved apprentice.

Lu Zhiyuan has raised Hanikezi for 5 years, watching her grow from a tiny little girl to who she is today!

In fact, Lu Zhiyuan would even take time to attend the occasional parent-teacher meetings at the Beijing Dance Academy!

It is estimated that in Lu Zhiyuan's mind, Hanikezi is no different from his own daughter.

"Sister Nazha, I forgive you."

Hanikezi already knew that Nazha was a fool, so she didn't bother arguing with her.

She felt that all these people together didn't even have an IQ higher than Lu Zhiyuan's little finger, and she didn't want to waste her breath on them.

"Sister Reba, our hometowns are both in Altay. Have you ever heard the ancient fable at the foot of the Altay Mountains?"

The group huddled together and whispered among themselves, discussing for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a good solution.

Hanikezi spoke directly, attracting everyone's attention.

"What ancient fable?"

Dilraba and Gulnazar both looked over, how come we didn't know?
Hanikezi pondered for a moment and said, "The ancient fable goes like this. Once upon a time, there was a herdsman who rescued a white-bearded old man who had fallen into a coma. The old man was actually a river god."

"The river god has an enemy, an evil dragon that has taken over the pool."

"In the end, the herdsmen used their whips to help the river god defeat the evil dragon. The river god then married his daughter to him, and the Kelan River began to nourish the grassland, forming the Altay region."

This fable is called "The River God of the Cran River"!
This fable is very old and sounds a bit boring. Moreover, neither Dilraba nor Gulnazar knew why Hanikezi was telling this story.
At that moment, they all stared wide-eyed at Hanikezi.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Hanikezi slowly said, "Sister Yuanyuan is pregnant now and in an invincible state. Moreover, although Sister Yuanyuan is not competitive, she will most likely fight for the child's status."

"This is Dilraba, your biggest predicament right now!"

Everyone nodded.

Isn't this why Dilraba called everyone out to discuss countermeasures?

Gao Yuanyuan herself was not allowed to enter the Lu family's home.

However, the child definitely needs a formal status!
Now, Lu Zhiyuan's mother takes care of Gao Yuanyuan every day... If Gao Yuanyuan gives birth to a son, Lu Zhiyuan's mother will definitely not give up on this grandson!
We absolutely must fight for a legitimate status for this grandson!

“Reba’s wife, you’re just like that shepherd in the fable we just heard. You not only saved the river god, but you also want to help him fight against the evil dragon… What are you after?”

"You've done so much in this process. But what if, at the end, the river god turns his back on you and doesn't want to marry his daughter to you? Wouldn't you have suffered a huge loss?"

Hanik's two rhetorical questions left Dilraba speechless.

She let the wolf into the house, finding Gao Yuanyuan, which led to this predicament today!

"so what should I do?"

Reba had a vague feeling that something was off about Hanikezi today.

This brat, her IQ is usually about the same as Nazha's, what's wrong with her today? She's talking so confidently in front of me?

too weird!

However, Dilraba is now like someone about to fall into the water, desperately wanting to grab onto something to increase her sense of security.

"It's easy!"

Hanikezi gave Reba an idea: "Sister Reba, you can get pregnant too. We can even send out the news and make it a fait accompli."

Everyone was stunned.

What kind of crazy idea is this?

Dilraba is not pregnant. Fabricating news like this is unacceptable!

"Wait a minute!"

Reba also realized what was going on: "Honey, I understand what you're trying to say. But the problem is, I'm not pregnant."

Of course, Dilraba also wanted to send out the message!

Tell them she's pregnant!

She couldn't be happier than this.

But if someone can't give birth, they just can't give birth. How can this be considered a false rumor?
"Sister Dilraba, you've misunderstood me!"

Hanikezi shook his head: "What I mean is, considering your feelings, the teacher won't give Yuanyuan a formal title. However, if my junior brother is born, the teacher will feel guilty."

"You know very well that although the teacher appears to be as hard as iron, he is actually a very considerate person. Of course, he is only like that to the people he cares about."

"If Sister Yuanyuan gives birth to the child, and that child has no legal status... needless to say, the teacher will definitely soften her heart!"

"Not just the teacher, but if Sister Yuanyuan cries and begs you... I reckon you'll most likely agree in the end!"

After hearing this, Dilraba thought about it for a moment and had to admit that she was indeed a soft-hearted person!
In the end, it really could end up like this!

The others thought for a while, and their faces also darkened.

Is it really impossible to change this outcome?

Seeing that everyone else was silent, Hanikezi's eyes lit up and she came up with an idea: "Sister Reba, your only way to break this deadlock is to switch the baby!"

“Even though your pregnancy is fake, you can actually have a child… You can get this child from Sister Yuanyuan. Once Yuanyuan’s child becomes your child, won’t it have a legitimate status?”

"As for Sister Yuanyuan, nominally, she can be the child's godmother, just like Sister Tiantian." "Moreover, we can explain it to the teacher. We won't cause the teacher any distress. The teacher will definitely feel indebted to you because of your gentleness and thoughtfulness, and then fall madly in love with you again!"

Can this still be done?

However, for Lu Zhiyuan, there was really no difference!
They're all his children anyway!

When the time comes, we'll bring Gao Yuanyuan over to live with us, and the two of us can take care of the child together.

Does it even matter who the child's mother is?

To the outside world, just say that the child was born to Dilraba!

Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't need to go through all that trouble to give his child a proper status or anything like that.

For Dilraba, this was absolutely perfect!
There's only one challenge here, and that's figuring out how to persuade Gao Yuanyuan!

This is the simplest one!

Gao Yuanyuan is very easy to talk to... Just one sentence, for the sake of the child, and she would probably surrender instantly, and might even think that Dilraba is a really good person!
Best of both worlds!

"Honey, that's awesome!"

After thinking it over, the others immediately realized that this was an excellent idea!

Moreover, it doesn't require paying any price.

Just now, Dilraba had already prepared for the worst-case scenario of stepping down and making way for someone else.

Let Gao Yuanyuan hold the certificate temporarily, and then bring it back after she gets pregnant!
Now, this method is even better!
She doesn't even need to change her marriage certificate; she can just announce that she's pregnant. No, she doesn't even need to announce it; she can just let people spread some dubious rumors.

"Honey, I misunderstood you before. You're the only one who can be reliable when it really matters."

Reba looked at Hanikezi with gratitude.

"Master's wife, I was ignorant before, please don't blame me!"

Hanikezi and Reba shook hands, revealing their close sisterly bond.

She sighed inwardly.

With your intelligence, the teacher doesn't even need to lift a finger. His number one lackey, Brother Kun, could easily outmaneuver you all with a single idea!

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Reba thought this was a great idea, and most importantly, it was highly feasible. And the process was incredibly simple!
All we need to do is convince Gao Yuanyuan!
……

Reba left in a hurry.

Naza, Yang Mi, and Zhang Tianai, on the other hand, underwent a recuperation program at the club.

At their age, it's about time they started taking care of themselves.

In a few years, I might have to start getting rejuvenation injections!

"Nazha, you've landed the lead role in 'Mojin: The Lost Legend.' Are there any supporting actresses you could include me in?"

Yang Mi kept subtly hinting that she wanted to get a role.

Ever since he learned that her plastic surgery had damaged her facial nerves, Lu Zhiyuan has treated her like she's invisible, never actively seeking her out for any good roles.

She was unwilling to play a busty school beauty in "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

She also wants to shoot a special effects blockbuster!

"The 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' project doesn't have many characters. Yuan Ge said it's just a small project, used to practice and see if he can do a good job of directing a Chinese adventure story."

"If the response to 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' is good, he will launch the 'Great Wall' project."

"This project is the real highlight!"

Nazha revealed to Yang Mi the cast of "The Great Wall".

There are three main forces, each of which forms the basic framework of a dynasty!

In a dynasty, there are powerful ministers, queens, eunuchs, generals, maids, spies... There are countless characters in just one scene.

For directors, finding suitable roles is a major headache.

Not to mention, these characters also need to be placed in the right positions and the lighting effects need to be arranged properly.

This is an extremely complex systems engineering project!
But for actors, these are all opportunities!

"I heard that the female lead for the film 'The Great Wall' is Ms. Jing!"

Yang Mi has been in this industry for so long, and aside from everything else, she's very well-informed about insider information.

"Ah."

Naza nodded, and when she saw Yang Mi looking at her intently, she instantly realized something and chuckled foolishly, "Actually, I don't know much either."

They don't know much, but they know more than I do.

I have to ask other people for secondhand information!

Yang Mi felt particularly bad seeing how silly Nazha was, yet how much she was favored.

……

Reba hurriedly went home.

Hanikezi did not follow, but waited at the intersection for a while before getting into a dark green Aston Martin.

This is Xin Yukun's car.

After getting in the car, Xin Yukun asked directly, "Honey, how did it go? Did Reba listen to what I said?"

Hanikezi nodded and smiled, "I've taken it to heart. Besides, Sister Reba is already quite impatient."

"That's good."

Xin Yukun laughed and called Gao Yuanyuan: "President Gao, everything's going smoothly on my end. Congratulations, your child will soon have a legitimate status!"

Gao Yuanyuan was also very happy and extremely grateful: "Brother Kun, thank you! I don't care about the title myself, but the child must have a title. For this, I can even give up the title of biological mother."

"Mr. Gao, you're truly impressive!"

Xin Yukun knew then that he had not misjudged the person!

Lu Zhiyuan is quite an amazing person!

Look at the women he's found; they're all so willing to maintain family harmony and none of them want to cause him any trouble.

Even if they suffer some injustice, Gao Yuanyuan and Reba will do everything they can to maintain Lu Zhiyuan's dignity!

This kind of relationship is truly enviable!

……

Reba hurriedly arrived at Gao Yuanyuan's house.

She rushed upstairs.

However, once she arrived at Gao Yuanyuan's home, Reba suddenly calmed down.

Because Lu Zhiyuan's mother is still alive.

She couldn't utter a word for a while, so she just sat there awkwardly on the sofa.

"Honey, what's wrong? You're all sweaty. Do you want some water?"

When Lu's mother saw Reba, she called her "baby" affectionately.

She wasn't even this affectionate with Lu Zhiyuan!
This made Reba feel that Lu's mother must really like her, and even for her mother's sake, she had to maintain the family's dignity!

We can't let outsiders laugh at us!
Otherwise, Lu Zhiyuan, a historically great director, would be ridiculed, and his parents, such respectable people, would also be ridiculed.

Even she, the first leading lady in film history, can be laughed at!

Even her parents back in her hometown will be ridiculed!

"Mom, I want to discuss something with Sister Yuanyuan."

Reba felt that this matter definitely couldn't be kept from Lu Zhiyuan's mother.

When the time comes, Mom will have to persuade Lu Zhiyuan.

So, after hesitating for a moment, she mustered her courage and said, "Mom, you be a witness. That way, neither of us can go back on our word."

Lu Zhiyuan's mother asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's the matter? Why are you so serious?"

"Mom, let me talk to Yuanyuan alone for a bit first. I'll talk to you about this after we're done."

If Gao Yuanyuan doesn't agree, no matter how much I say, it's useless!
At this moment, under the questioning gaze of Lu Zhiyuan's mother, Reba pulled Gao Yuanyuan into the room.

She paused for 10 seconds before speaking, "Sister Yuanyuan, I know this might sound a bit harsh."

"However, for the sake of this family's reputation, for the sake of both of us's reputation, and for the sake of Yuan Ge's private life, so that he won't be ridiculed or gossiped about... I think we must handle this matter properly!"

So, Dilraba faked her pregnancy, then switched the baby with Gao Yuanyuan, making her the child's godmother, and they moved in together to take care of the child.

She unleashed a series of moves!

"Sister Yuanyuan, I know this is a bit unfair to you. But don't worry, this child is my own. Even if my parents ask, I will say that he is my biological child."

Dilraba thought Gao Yuanyuan disagreed, and now she was practically swearing an oath.

"Reba, thank you."

Feeling Dilraba's sincerity, Gao Yuanyuan initially tried to pretend for a while, but almost couldn't help herself and let it slip.

Fortunately, Reba was too anxious to pay much attention at the moment.

"So it's settled then?"

Gao Yuanyuan didn't object, which relieved Reba.

"Ah."

Gao Yuanyuan thought to herself that she just couldn't admit the child was hers in front of the media. But in private, the child still called her "Mom."

Even things like parent-teacher meetings were things that Dilraba had to take care of for her.

I've heard that parent-teacher conferences these days are incredibly annoying. I'm so lucky!

Thank you for your hard work, Dilraba.

Being the principal wife is no easy task!
……

After the two finished discussing, they went out and told Lu Zhiyuan's mother about their agreement!
After hearing the agreement between the two, Lu's mother was utterly dumbfounded.

Is this still possible?
However, after realizing what had happened, the mother felt that Reba was such a considerate and generous daughter-in-law.

She hugged Reba and called her "my precious daughter" repeatedly, emphasizing, "Baby, our Ayuan is so lucky to have found you as his wife!"

“Sweetie, I have a bracelet that was left to me by A Yuan’s maternal grandmother. I’ll give it to you later! It’s a family heirloom, and I was a little reluctant to part with it!”

"But now, I wish I could give you my old life!"

"You are truly my precious darling!"

"If I had given birth to you, my daughter... and if I had met a bastard like A-Yuan, I would have slapped him to death!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, then coughed lightly and said, "Mom, I'm jealous."

When Lu Zhiyuan's mother saw this, she hugged Gao Yuanyuan tightly again: "Yuanyuan, you are also my precious baby."

……

Lu Zhiyuan is drawing concept sketches at home.

He checked the time; it was already past six in the evening. No wonder he was a little hungry.

At this time, Reba would usually be back long ago, and might even come over around 5:45 to knock on the door and remind him that dinner would be served in 15 minutes!
Today, the house is unusually quiet!

"Teacher, are you hungry?"

Just then, Hanikezi gently pushed open the door, peeking out with a sly smile: "If you're hungry, how about grabbing a melon?"

"What melon are you eating?"

Lu Zhiyuan looked puzzled, put down his paintbrush, and pinched Hanikezi's nose: "Have you eaten?"

"not yet!"

Hanikezi shook his head.

"Let's go out to eat! There's a new restaurant that opened across from our apartment complex, and I haven't tried it yet."

Lu Zhiyuan assumed that Reba had gone to the company and was delayed by something.

"Ok!"

Hanikezi originally wanted to tell Lu Zhiyuan some things, but seeing that Lu Zhiyuan seemed very hungry, she decided to eat first.

It's the same as talking about it after you've eaten and drunk your fill.

……

Half an hour later.

"Honey, you're acting really strange today. Why are you looking at me like that? Tell me! Have you and Kun been doing something behind my back?"

Hanikezi is usually a bit of a scatterbrain.

However, today she was suppressing a laugh, glancing at herself from time to time, clearly with a gossipy expression.

Lu Zhiyuan instantly realized something and instinctively opened Weibo to take a look.

……

Good guy!
Of the 20 trending topics, a full 8 were related to Dilraba's pregnancy.

Of the remaining 12 entries, 5 mentioned Lu Zhiyuan!
It has to be said that these two have a huge following!

That year, the "Four Returnees" came back from South Korea, hoping to make a name for themselves, but in the face of Lu Zhiyuan and Dilraba, they were nothing.

You can't even inhale the exhaust fumes!
After all, the four of them are at most K-pop stars.

In another timeline, due to the popularity of the Korean Wave, these four people went to South Korea for a visit, which was essentially a way to "gild" their resumes.

However, in this time and space, due to Lu Zhiyuan's meteoric rise, domestic audiences simply don't care about this bullshit Korean wave!
Because, under Lu Zhiyuan's leadership, top domestic stars walk the Oscar red carpet every year and receive Oscar nominations every now and then.

Renowned worldwide.

Some people have even actually won awards.

Lu Zhiyuan is even more awesome. He's an Oscar-winning actor, a world-renowned master of art, and a top-tier director in history. He makes nothing but super commercial blockbusters that bombard the world!

"Godzilla: Monarch" just surpassed "Transformers 4" at the box office a couple of days ago to become the highest-grossing film of the year!
Even Wang Baoqiang's online traffic is higher than these four people!
The emergence of Lu Zhiyuan has led to a surge in domestic blockbuster films, significantly raising the standards of online celebrity fans!

what?
You can't even get to the Oscars, and you call yourself an international superstar? Don't be ridiculous!
what?
You don't even have an international award, and you call yourself a top influencer? Are the requirements for being a top influencer really that low now?
what?
From an idol group? Isn't that the lowest rung of the entertainment industry? Do you really think we're as ignorant as South Korea?
Korean idol groups? That's hilarious!
Have you ever heard of Keiko Kitagawa?

She's the top supporting actress in Yuan Ge's movies, and has been voted the number one female star by Japanese media for five consecutive years. Her popularity is explosive, but she only deserves to play supporting roles!
You can't even beat Keiko Kitagawa, and you call yourselves top stars?

……

In addition, Lu Zhiyuan's catchphrases have been circulating from time to time and have become popular internet memes.

When netizens encounter celebrities these days, their first comment is often, "They're okay-looking, but they seem empty-headed, have no artistic talent, and that's all they'll ever be!"

This has caused those celebrities to feel so humiliated that they have to go to night school from time to time to improve their education!
Some people are even more impressive; they go straight to get a PhD.

Who would have thought that one day, these celebrities in the entertainment industry would start competing over academic qualifications?

But for the entire online audience, this is something to be happy about. It's very positive, and the official channels are also pleased with it.

Those few Korean wave fans who returned to China went abroad for a while, thinking they would be very popular when they came back, but suddenly found that the situation in China had changed.

Therefore, although they became popular for a while because of their good looks, they never really became truly famous.

Because in this time and space, everyone starts watching the works much earlier!
This is a trend started by Liu Shishi!
Her team constantly criticizes Liu Yifei for having no representative film works, not even a single one, let alone a Hollywood blockbuster, let alone a youth film that can attract the audience's attention!
Liu Yifei is so angry she's about to explode!

After all, according to netizens' current assessment, celebrities like Liu Yifei who rely on their looks are the kind who are "good-looking but brainless, it's hard to say whether they've ever been educated, and that's about it for their lives!"

In this time and space, Lu Zhiyuan single-handedly raised the influence of the domestic entertainment industry on the world to its absolute limit!
In this situation, who would still be a fan of a popular celebrity who has returned from South Korea?

I doubt I'd even dare to say it online.

You'll really be looked down upon!

……

"You guys have used up all your intelligence on this!"

Lu Zhiyuan was initially surprised after reading the news on Weibo.

My wife is pregnant, how come I didn't know?
However, after thinking about it for a while, he instantly understood what these people were up to.

They wanted to change the news of Gao Yuanyuan's pregnancy to the news of Dilraba's pregnancy... and then, after Gao Yuanyuan gave birth, the baby would directly become Dilraba's!

The advantage of this is that Gao Yuanyuan is still single in name only and has not had children.

The child was born to Dilraba!
Essentially, the child has a legitimate identity from the moment they are born!
It has to be said that this solved a lot of his problems.

It saves a lot of trouble.

“Teacher, Reba’s wife and Gao’s wife know that you don’t like those messy things, as they will affect your goal of becoming the best in history.”

"So they are all very considerate and will help you take care of any worries."

Hanikezi thought Lu Zhiyuan was angry, feeling that they had acted first and consulted him later. They hadn't even discussed such a big matter with him, showing no respect for him and challenging his authority!

So she explained in a low voice.

"Even you, a clueless little thing, know that they are gentle and considerate. How could I not know?"

Lu Zhiyuan smiled, then seemed to realize something and looked silently at Hanikezi: "Hani, being a triple agent must be quite interesting, right?"

"hey-hey!"

Hanikezi couldn't help but give an awkward laugh.

It's incredibly interesting.

It's super interesting!
Moreover, I'm not a three-way undercover agent, I'm a four-way undercover agent!
Lu Zhiyuan didn't mind, and even asked, "So, do you have any insights or experiences to share?"

Hanikezi thought about it carefully and had a feeling about it, but due to his limited education, he couldn't put it into words.

"Take full time to savor this feeling."

"A good undercover agent must also be a good actor!"

Lu Zhiyuan gently patted Hanikezi on the shoulder.

Then he turned around and went home.

……

Go home.

Lu Zhiyuan saw that Reba was touching her belly with one hand and sticking out her waist with the other, pretending to be pregnant, and was moving her body back and forth in the living room.

She would take a few steps, then sit on the sofa for a while to rub the soles of her feet, seemingly in great distress.

Upon seeing Lu Zhiyuan return, Dilraba asked with a smile, "Honey, in the movie 'The Great Wall,' I'm going to play a pregnant woman, and I'm going to get a feel for what it's like to be pregnant beforehand."

"Was my acting just now incredibly realistic?"

Dilraba spent more than an hour observing Gao Yuanyuan at her home, and after returning, she imitated Gao Yuanyuan's actions.

"Very realistic! The acting was superb."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded, then took out some calcium tablets from his bag and placed them on the coffee table: "Your feet will hurt in the early stages of pregnancy, so you need to take calcium supplements. The props are also very important."

After he finished speaking, Lu Zhiyuan hugged Reba from behind and gently stroked the top of her head with his chin.

In this way, their heads were almost completely aligned.

It was as if our souls had come into contact.

"My Hotun, I want to have four children with you in this lifetime."

"Thank you for everything you've done for me!"

Lu Zhiyuan was determined to make "The Great Wall" a success!

Let's reveal Zhang Yimou's S-level reproductive abilities!

If this doesn't work, then he'll just keep trying to squeeze every penny out of Zhang Yimou... Anyway, the talents of other directors in the world aren't that important to Lu Zhiyuan anymore.

Because he already has more than enough talent as a director!
