Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

"Mr. Zhang, are you looking to invite me to play the female lead?"

Hearing Liu Shishi's question, Zhang Yang glanced at Yang Mi beside him and said with a smile, "Mi Mi, what do you think of me inviting Ms. Liu Shishi to play the female lead in our company's movie?"

How is it?

Of course it's not very good.

Yang Mi was furious. She could tolerate Liu Yifei, but now there was another "little Liu Yifei"! Why was she chosen as the female lead in the company's new movie investment? How could she, the top star of Xingchen, possibly save face?

Hey Beijing girl, I have my pride!

Liu Shishi glanced at Yang Mi, her brows furrowed, and she sighed, saying earnestly, "President Zhang, I think Mi Mi's action scenes are also very impressive. She's more suitable for the female lead than I am."

Yang Mi, who was initially a little unhappy, was slightly taken aback, but then felt very touched. In the entertainment industry, it's really hard to find a good friend who won't steal the lead role in a movie.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll play the female lead, and Shishi and Tangtang will play supporting roles. What do you think?"

Zhang Yang was well aware of Yang Mi's little scheme, so he waved his hand and said with a smile, "No rush, the script is still being written. Once the script is finished, if the roles are suitable, I will have the production team send audition invitations to Shishi and Tangtang."

Zhang Yang didn't linger around the three beauties from "Chinese Paladin." He had already laid the bait, and he didn't believe that Liu Shishi wouldn't tell Cai Yinong about it. As long as Cai Yinong, a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, wasn't stupid, she would definitely seize this opportunity.

After Zhang Yang left, Liu Shishi took Yang Mi's arm and said with a smile, "Mi Mi, I didn't expect Zhang Yang to be so easygoing in private. I really envy you for finding such a good boss."

What could Yang Mi say? She could only laugh it off. Tang Yan, on the other hand, thought Liu Shishi was a bit of a tease. Yang Mi had such a wonderful boss, so why didn't Liu Shishi have one too?

Your boss, Cai Yinong, is your mother's best friend. This is a relationship that many people would envy. Tang Yan is truly envious and jealous.

Not wanting the situation to become awkward, Yang Mi smiled and said, "Shishi, it's rare for you to come all the way here. How about this, I'll invite Zhang Yang, and we'll have dinner together tonight?"

Before Tang Yan could even voice her opinion, Liu Shishi's eyes lit up as she pressed, "Just the three of us?"

Yang Mi gave Tang Yan and Liu Shishi a meaningful look, and whispered a hint, "Are you suggesting we bring other people along?"

Zhang Yang is now considered a rising star in the industry, and there are naturally benefits to befriending him. The reason Yang Mi was willing to organize the gathering was because the two of them were together. Jiang Kai was after her, and she was after Zhang Yang's resources.

Previously, Zhang Yang used the movie's leading lady to seduce Liu Shishi, and she also wanted to test Zhang Yang to see how much she meant to him.

Tang Yan had already slept with Zhang Yang, so she naturally had no objection to Yang Mi's suggestion. Only Liu Shishi was a little conflicted. She wasn't a complete novice, but this opportunity was indeed very rare—it was a chance to become the female lead in a movie.

Besides, rumors are circulating in the entertainment industry that Zhang Yang has taken a liking to Liu Yifei, and Liu Shishi is known as the "Little Liu Yifei." Although it's somewhat shameful to be a substitute, being able to play the female lead in a movie means that even if she's a substitute, so what? It won't cost her anything.

And so, Liu Shishi stayed on set and even made a cameo appearance as Nuwa.

After the film crew finished work, Yang Mi went directly to Zhang Yang and told him that she wanted to invite him to dinner.

"Is it just the three of us?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang, annoyed: "Of course, why bother hiring anyone else? It's a waste of money."

"Okay then, let's go eat hot pot together later. I know a good hot pot restaurant in Hengdian. It's really your treat, that restaurant isn't cheap."

"Zhang Yang, who do you think you are? It's just a meal, I, Yang Mi, can afford to treat you."

"Okay, but don't be stingy when you pay the bill."

"Hmph, if it hurts, I'll bite you."

Watching Yang Mi leave with her head held high, Zhang Yang smiled. Yang Mi, who hadn't yet evolved into Boss Yang, was still quite adorable, especially when it came to abstract art, which put her at least ten years ahead of her peers.

After changing into their costumes, the three beauties from "Chinese Paladin" arrived at the hot pot restaurant Zhang Yang had mentioned. To be honest, after looking at the prices on the menu, Yang Mi felt a little pained, but as a girl from Beijing, she was concerned about saving face. She couldn't swallow her words, so she quickly ordered a whole bunch of ingredients.

After ordering, the four of them started chatting.

"Shishi, what brings you to Hengdian this time...?"

"I just came here to have some fun. The promotional period for 'Chinese Paladin 3' is about to begin, and I'll be very busy with announcements. Since I'm not busy now, I plan to travel around. I happened to pass by Hengdian and remembered that Mimi and Tangtang are filming here, so I came to visit the set."

Whether Liu Shishi's words were true or false is unknown, but in conversation, truth and falsehood are often intertwined.

Glancing at Yang Mi, Zhang Yang smiled and asked Tang Yan, "Tangtang, what are Chengtian's plans for you in the next few years? Will you continue to develop your career in the mainland entertainment industry, or will you focus on the Hong Kong film industry?"

"Sigh, I don't know what the company is planning to do with me. My agent, Sister Ji, said that the company wants me to work hard in the TV drama industry. Sigh, I'm so weak, I can only do what the company plans."

Zhang Yang understood what Tang Yan meant, but he didn't respond to her. Instead, he smiled and said, "Chengtian is a big company, and you are one of Chengtian's Seven Princesses. I believe that you will definitely become famous all over the country in the future."

After saying that, Zhang Yang didn't wait for Tang Yan to say anything more. He turned to Yang Mi with a smile and said, "Mi Mi, 'Swords of Legends' is your first time as a producer. If the ratings aren't bad after it airs next winter break, the company will give you a movie to test the waters!"

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, the slight displeasure that had just arisen in Yang Mi's heart immediately dissipated.

"Zhang Yang, you said it yourself, you can't go back on your word."

"Don't worry about it!"

Liu Shishi, who was silently watching Zhang Yang and Yang Mi from the side, felt a little envious and jealous. Why couldn't she have such good luck?

At this point, the waiter started serving the dishes, and Zhang Yang stopped rambling. After all, he was hungry after filming all day.

Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi also started eating.

The restaurant Zhang Yang introduced is very famous in Hengdian. Apart from the prices being a bit high, it's really perfect. Many directors and producers often come here to dine, and naturally, they also bring some beautiful female celebrities with them.

When they heard that Zhang Yang was eating here, many female celebrities couldn't help but have wicked ideas. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang basically never left the room, not even to the toilet. He just ate in the private room until he finished eating and paid the bill, and then left with the three beauties from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

When it came time to pay, Yang Mi wanted to pay, but Zhang Yang wouldn't let her pay; he naturally paid for it himself.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Zhang Yang took the three women back to the hotel. After returning to the hotel room, Zhang Yang first relieved himself, and then sent Yang Mi a text message, inviting her to come over to discuss the script.
