I'm really good at this.

The call was answered quickly.

Zhang Hong was the first to speak up: "Achuan, where have you been gallivanting off to? I'm working myself to the bone here, and you go out to play without even calling me?"

Lin Chuan glanced at the wooden stick in his father's hand and promptly lied: "How could that be, Brother Hong? I'm not that kind of person! I'm just running around doing business and building relationships with actor agencies! And I haven't used any of the studio's public funds, I'm using my own money!"

He's lying.

Lin Muqing's eyes instantly sharpened.

She could tell right away whether her brother was lying or not.

Because she had her brother's whereabouts completely under control, and judging by the timeline, her brother should have already seen their father.

How can he go out and engage in business entertainment then?

So this is clearly a lie!

Lin Muqing casually took the phone from Zhang Hong, switched it to speakerphone, and placed it on the table. She said calmly, "Are you sure you're contacting an actor's agency?"

Lin Chuan on the other end of the phone instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

What's up with my little sister here?!

However, thanks to the tacit understanding between the siblings (being punished by the demon on one side), Lin Chuan realized that Lin Muqing was covering for him!

Lin Chuan glanced at Lin Cai out of the corner of his eye and said casually, "Yeah, I just finished contacting a talent agency, and I just got home. Dad's here too, you can ask him if you don't believe me. Right, Dad?"

He desperately tried to signal to his father with his eyes.

Lin Cai understood.

The son doesn't want to reveal that he's the spy he sent to cause trouble!

So he instinctively covered up the lie for his son: "Yes, honey, A-Chuan was out all day and came back reeking of alcohol. I'm just scolding him now. But since it was for your company's business entertainment, then forget it. I'll make sure he takes a good shower and goes to bed in a bit."

"Okay, I understand. Dad, you should get some rest too."

Steady!

After hanging up the phone, the same smile appeared on the faces of the Lin family of three.

Zhang Hong was deeply moved by what he saw: "The bond between your family members is truly wonderful."

Lin Muqing: "..."

the phone is ringing.

Zhang Hong glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Oh? A-Chuan sent a list of actor agents' contact information? Okay, shall we set off then?"

Lin Muqing nodded and stood up: "Let's go."

............

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

Lin Cai only asked the question after seeing the message her son sent.

"Dad! Don't worry about me!" Lin Chuan patted his chest muscles loudly. "This time, I gave Brother Hong the contact information of Wang Chen, that young man who offended him before."

Lin Cai frowned and said, "Didn't that pretty boy offend Xiao Hong? Will this work?"

Oh, he actually doesn't have eyebrows above his eyes.

"That doesn't matter. The contact information I gave out were for some low-level actors who had been struggling for a few years without making it big, or newcomers with absolutely no acting skills."

Lin Chuan gave a thumbs up: "Dad, you know the company that asked my brother Hong to act in this movie, it's China Heavy Industry, that's a big shot in the industry. We don't even want to offend them, we're not even in the same system as them, so how can we influence them? We can only start with my brother Hong. Now that my brother Hong has made a successful TV series, naturally a lot of actors may come to him for jobs, so this matter is not very safe."

However, the shady characters Brother Hong brought in are just the second layer of insurance. Dad, I need to hurry back and be the third layer of insurance!

To avoid planting trees in the Sahara and to avoid being killed by his own sister, Lin Chuan was willing to go all out.

It's really tragic to think about. How did he, a rich second-generation heir who used to live a life of leisure and idleness, end up like this?

Lin Cai felt that her son made sense.

However, the necessary warnings will also be issued.

His bear paw delivered a devastating blow to his son's shoulder: "Achuan, you are my son, and I am your father. There is no closer relationship in the world than this. That's why I believe you."

However, once is never enough, so please don't mess this up this time.

Sending you to the Sahara to plant trees is obviously a joke, but to be fair, if you mess this up again, either I'll send you to Africa to work in our mines, or I'll cut off your food supply and you'll have to find a job yourself.

"Our Lin family doesn't need incompetent people, you understand?"

"Understood, understood." Lin Chuan nodded hurriedly.

Lin Cai was finally satisfied: "Alright, hurry back, or your sister might get suspicious if you get back late."

The father was also quite afraid of his clever daughter.

"Alright!" Lin Chuan immediately prepared to make his escape.

"Wait a minute." Lin Cai called out to his son, then took a bank card out of his pocket and handed it to him.

Lin Chuan was deeply moved: "Dad, there's no need for that, I have plenty of money."

Even so, he held onto the bank card tightly.

Lin Cai rolled his eyes: "Get lost, this is for your sister. Your sister lives a rough life with Xiao Hong every day, and she had dark circles under her eyes when she came back last time. Give this money to your sister so she can buy some fruit or something to soothe her throat."

Lin Chuan opened his mouth: "What about me?"

"I'm being kind by not cutting off your food supply right now! Get lost!"

"Okay!"

Lin Chuan left.

After a few minutes, once Lin Chuan was sure he had really left, Lin Cai took out his phone and dialed the man's number.

"Hey, rich bro? It's me, Old Lin."

"Hey, that was definitely a mistake last time, and I've already disciplined my son. This time, I'll definitely handle it!"

"Making trouble? This time it might be difficult. We don't have the channels to deal with the investors, China Heavy Industry."

"But don't worry, Brother Hao, this time we'll start with the actors. And you know what Xiao Hong's team members are like—some do mortuary work, some raise pandas, some are Taoist priests on Wudang Mountain who also draw erotic comics, some make adult films in Japan. What can this group of people accomplish?"

"Besides, Huaxia Heavy Industry, as you know, they just asked Xiao Hong to film a TV series as a promotional video. What can they promote? Would you watch an excavator fighting with a rich guy? I definitely have no interest."

Lin Cai patted his chest muscles with a loud thud: "Don't worry! You can trust me, Brother Hao!"

............

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao handed a tissue to his wife, who was watching TV with a face mask on, and said helplessly, "Honey, you've watched this four times already, don't you get tired of it?"

I don't mind if I don't get tired of it, but why do I cry every time I watch it?

Is the TV series my son makes really that good?

To be honest, it's really good, but Zhang Hao doesn't really like "Clouds Fall into the Mortal World".

He preferred his son's performance in "Bloody Youth".

"How could I possibly get tired of watching the TV series my son made?" Liu Yan took the tissue and carefully wiped the corner of her eye, also wiping away two eyelashes. "Now I'm just waiting for the Blu-ray collector's edition to come out, and I'll give a set to everyone I know."

Zhang Hao: "..."

Liu Yan tossed aside the tissue and then asked, "By the way, my son isn't giving interviews or appearing on TV shows anymore. Is he filming a new TV series recently?"

"Yeah, but I doubt you'll like it," Zhang Hao answered honestly. "I heard they took a job from China Heavy Industries to film a promotional video, something about excavators fighting or something."

Liu Yan curled her lip: "Definitely not. Our son is just an artsy young man. Would he take on a job shooting porn just for money? I don't believe it."

"That's hard to say," Zhang Hao said calmly. "Anyway, he's definitely going to fail this time. I, Old Zhang, won't even need to take it seriously; I can easily take him down."

Liu Yan chuckled coldly: "Really? I don't believe it."

Zhang Hao grew anxious, slapping his pectoral muscles so hard they throbbed: "How could you not trust me to handle things?"

Liu Yan said coldly, "I feel like I've heard that somewhere before."

She paused, then continued, "Including the last time, this is the forty-seventh time you've said something like this in over twenty years."

Naturally, the results were always the opposite.

Zhang Hao was dumbfounded: "Huh... this..."

That can't be, right?

............

A few days later, in a rented office in Hengdian.

Zhang Hong looked up at the poised and beautiful woman opposite him, then looked down at the dazzlingly long resume in her hand.

Ultimately, attention turned to the actor's salary.

That string of zeros was really glaring.

With a sigh, Zhang Hong smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we still need to consider the actor for the role. Go back and wait for news. We'll let you know when it's over."
