Huayu after the system left

.........

At the entrance of the teahouse.

The two beauties are saying their reluctant goodbyes.

At first glance, you would definitely think that the two of them have a very good relationship.

But in reality, it's quite the opposite.

at first.

The swallow, afraid of getting its blood splattered on it, did not get too close.

After realizing that there wasn't much tension between the two women, he decided to come closer and listen.

But the conversation was already coming to an end.

Yanzi only heard Liu Shishi's last words.

"Junior sister, let's stop here. Like I said, think it over carefully before making a decision."

After saying that, she walked straight out.

Wait until they are far away.

Yanzi quickly asked, "Tongtong, what's going on? It seems like you two are very close. And what decision did she ask you to make?"

Li Yitong made no attempt to hide anything.

He simply summarized the key points of their conversation.

Including one's own choices.

After hearing this, Yanzi said with a hint of exasperation, "Are you stupid? Of course you should choose the second one. While Liu Shishi doesn't want to give up her career these next two years, hurry up and have a child to get a big score with Zhou Yang's parents."

"Isn't choosing this option tantamount to admitting defeat?"

"You actually think you have a chance to win? Please, even if Zhou Yang were to give you his full support, you might not be able to reach Liu Shishi's industry status among the post-90s generation in three years, let alone rely entirely on yourself."

Li Yitong was not discouraged by these words and said with full fighting spirit, "I'm not going to admit defeat right away. I'll give it my all and even if I lose, I'll accept it wholeheartedly."

Upon hearing this, Yanzi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

have to.

This silly girl is completely led by the nose by Liu Shishi.

It must be said that the second option was truly a stroke of genius.

It seemed like a very generous offer of the optimal solution, but in reality, it pushed Li Yitong into a gamble she was destined to lose, leaving her with no choice but to accept it and call her "sister."

Thinking about these things.

Yanzi then reminded her, "You should still talk to Zhou Yang. Even if you don't ask him to help, you should at least let him know."

"No, that would be tantamount to me admitting defeat."

"Alright, I think you should just serve tea and call her 'sister' directly."

Li Yitong said with disbelief, "Sister Yan, do you have so little faith in me? Then why did you quit your job to train me specifically?"

"My goal is simply to bring you to the second tier within five years, but I've never had the ambition to reach the first tier, let alone the top."

"Shall we make some changes? What if it actually comes to fruition?"

"A person should have self-awareness."

"Even my only comrade surrendered immediately. Why is my life so miserable?"

talking.

Li Yitong even touched away non-existent tears.

Yanzi nodded. "Okay, keep up your current acting skills. Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope."

"Really?"

"Really, but I still advise you to choose the second one; that's what's best for you."

"No, I'm going to give it my all, and even if I lose, I'll accept it wholeheartedly."

Upon hearing this...

Swallow could only sigh helplessly.

So be it.

Since they can't bear to completely break off their relationship with Zhou Yang, then the other two options will ultimately lead to the same result.

It doesn't matter anymore.

On the contrary, it was themselves, the supporters of the Imperial Concubine.

Next, we will have to face such a cunning and scheming empress. It will be a close call, if not like walking on thin ice.

This is true misery.

.......

the other side.

After leaving the teahouse, Liu Shishi drove directly to Ciwen Media.

This was her main purpose in returning to Yanjing.

Never thought.

Upon arriving at the destination, I ran into an acquaintance.

Lin Gengxin.

The two soon discovered that they had come for the same reason.

Liu Shishi immediately said with a look of disgust, "If I had known you were playing the male lead, I wouldn't have taken this role."

Lin Gengxin curled his lip and retorted in heavily accented Mandarin, "Get this straight, I owe President Zhou a favor, not you."

Is there a difference?

"What? The rumors were true?"

"Tch, trying to trick me into telling me anything? You should go back and practice some more."

"No, no, I'm genuinely curious about the real relationship between you two."

"No matter what, they're just siblings."

"That's so boring."

"By the way, have you read the original book? What's it about?"

"You still haven't read the original novel?"

"Is there a problem?"

Looking at Liu Shishi's matter-of-fact attitude.

Lin Gengxin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He knew that Zhao Liying had gone to great lengths to secure this role, reportedly reading the original novel several times, but the role ultimately went to Liu Shishi, who was completely unprepared.

Where can I go to reason with this?

Ugh.

It's so great to have a younger brother who's a great writer.

Good resources are readily offered to us.

I thought of Zhou Yang.

Lin Gengxin hurriedly asked anxiously, "Is what President Zhou just posted on Weibo true?"

"Really, he never intended to play the male lead in 'Zhu Xian' from the beginning."

"Then I'd better prepare properly."

"Tch, you?"

Looking at Liu Shishi's disdainful expression.

Lin Gengxin, however, fawned over her, saying, "Poetry Master, I don't ask you to speak up for me, I just ask you not to cause trouble."

"Alright, how about lunch later?"

"I'll treat you, I'll treat you. You can pick any of the people in the capital. I'll just frown and write the character 'Lin' backwards."

"Isn't that still the character 'Lin'? It's so insincere. Oh dear, I suddenly remembered some bad things. I'll have to give my brat a good talking-to when I get back."

"Sister, please, I was wrong. I was just being clever. Please don't take it to heart."

Liu Shishi smiled and said, "Alright, just kidding. But you'd better not get your hopes up too high. After all, even I couldn't get the role of Lu Xueqi. Just imagine how strict Zhou Yang's requirements will be."

"Hey, what if I get incredibly lucky?"

"It sounds wonderful, but never mind, just tell me the story outline quickly. It would be embarrassing if I didn't know anything about the plot later."

"Dele".

that's it.

Lin Gengxin quickly recounted the general plot of "Princess Agents".

Liu Shishi listened, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding.

However, none of these were used.

After entering.

The two then parted ways.

Lin Gengxin was taken away by the other crew members and questioned to make final confirmations before signing the contract.

Liu Shishi, however, was led to Ma Zhongjun's office.

After entering.

The other party immediately produced a pre-prepared contract without mentioning anything else.

After taking it, Liu Shishi carefully looked through it, and after confirming that there were no problems, she signed her name directly.

The two then started chatting.

As we chatted, the conversation turned to Tianfeng Special Effects Company.

Ma Zhongjun sighed and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have scheduled the release date for 'The Journey of Flower' so early."

Liu Shishi smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Ma, you should be glad that 'The Journey of Flower' aired before 'The Legend of Chusen.' After all, many viewers are looking forward to fantasy films and television series. If it had aired later, Ciwen's bet would have been affected."

"Oh? Miss Liu actually knows about this?"

"I heard Zhou Yang analyze it before, it was precisely because of Ciwen's bet that you, Mr. Ma, are so meticulous about 'The Journey of Flower'."

Upon hearing this...

A glint of light flashed in Ma Zhongjun's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He then pressed his advantage and asked, "Since President Zhou is aware of Ciwen's predicament, please forgive my impertinence, but I wonder if Tianfeng Special Effects is short of funds?"

"I'm not sure, but I can ask for you, Mr. Ma."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Liu."
