Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

The next morning, Zheng Leran came to visit Xia Yichu and the others. Because Xia Yichu was there, Sister Wang bought groceries early in the morning and cooked breakfast.

"Sister Wang"

Sister Wang opened the door for Zheng Leran; it was almost nine o'clock.

"Mr. Zheng is here, please come in quickly."

Knowing that Zheng Leran and Xu Shaoyang were running a company together, Sister Wang was much more polite to Zheng Leran.

"Okay, thank you."

Zheng Leran came by himself today; he has something to discuss with Xia Yichu and the others. The others will begin training today; Zheng Leran will pay for their training at the training institution.

Their looks and foundation are good, but without professional training, their stage performances will definitely not be up to par. Later, we need to develop their personal image and positioning, and then try to release a single for Liang Qinian.

Anyway, a lot of money still needs to be invested, and just yesterday, a friend of Zheng Leran's who works as a director contacted him.

She asked him if he knew anyone who could introduce him to an actress, someone young and with an innocent look. She thought Xiao Wangshu would be a good fit, and that's why she came over to discuss it with Xia Yichu and the others.

"Sister Wang, are Boss Xu and Boss Xia still not up?"

Zheng Leran came in but didn't see them. He thought to himself that he had arrived early again. He had been so excited last night that he couldn't sleep. He couldn't wait for dawn; he was eager to get the company up and running.

Xia Yichu is a decisive person. She rented the house yesterday, and Zheng Leran admires her quick thinking.

"Yes, Miss Xia should be getting up soon."

Xia Yichu has been coming down around nine o'clock these past two days, and Sister Wang has been preparing breakfast according to the time. It's just finished cooking now.

"Alright, Sister Wang, you go ahead and do your work! I'll wait here for a bit."

"Mr. Zheng, I made some steamed buns this morning. Would you like a couple?"

"Great! Sister Wang, your cooking is amazing! Everything you make tastes better than what you buy outside."

Zheng Leran hadn't eaten yet, and what he said wasn't just flattery; everything Sister Wang made suited his taste perfectly.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go get it for you," Sister Wang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Wang."

A short while later, Sister Wang came out with a plate containing several steamed buns and two eggs. She then went back to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of fish porridge for Zheng Leran.

She noticed that Xia Yichu really liked porridge, so she specially cooked fish porridge for her this morning. She wondered if Xia Yichu would like it.

"Sister Wang, don't take too much."

Zheng Leran was worried that if she ate too much, there wouldn't be enough for Xia Yichu and the others to eat later.

"It's okay, there's still plenty of steamed buns and porridge."

At this moment, Xia Yichu came downstairs. Xu Shaoyang hadn't gotten up yet. There was nothing much to do today, so Xia Yichu didn't wake him up when she passed by the second floor.

Xu Shaoyang went to a nightclub last night; I don't know what time he'll be back. Xia Yichu didn't go with him and went to bed early.

"Mr. Zheng, why are you here so early? Is something wrong?"

Zheng Leran put down the steamed buns, stood up, and said, "Boss Xia, don't be nervous, nothing's wrong. I just have something to discuss with you and Boss Xu."

"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk."

While they were talking, Sister Wang brought out breakfast for Xia Yichu.

"Miss Xia, please try the fish porridge."

"Okay, this porridge looks delicious, it'll definitely taste good. Sister Wang, have you eaten yet?"

"You and Mr. Zheng should eat now. We've eaten."

She gets up early, but she gets hungry easily, so she ate breakfast at the market when she went to buy groceries.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Wang."

Xia Yichu sat down to prepare for dinner, and Sister Wang said, "It's no trouble at all, you guys eat, there's more in the kitchen if you're not full."

"OK"

Xia Yichu responded and buried her head in her food, while Sister Wang went to the kitchen to busy herself. After taking a bite of the porridge, Xia Yichu praised, "Sister Wang's cooking is excellent; this fish porridge is so delicious."

Zheng Leran nodded in agreement, "Yes, Sister Wang's cooking is really delicious."

After the two finished breakfast, Xia Yichu said, "Mr. Zheng, you said you had something to discuss with us. You can tell me now, as Shaoyang might not get up that early."

Zheng Leran knew that Xia Yichu was in charge; he could tell that Xu Shaoyang listened to Xia Yichu in everything.

"I have a friend who is a director and wants to find a young actress who looks innocent. I thought of Xiao Wangshu; she fits the bill perfectly in every way."

If we could get her to act in it, it would be a great publicity opportunity for our company. The problem is that one investor withdrew their funding for this film, resulting in a budget shortfall. Even the lead actress's salary isn't high.

Most importantly, his friend's previous films had received lukewarm responses, so the reason someone was still willing to invest this time was because the boss's mistress wanted to experience playing the leading lady.

After half a month of filming, the director could no longer tolerate the woman. She didn't meet his requirements to begin with, and he only accepted her for the money.

But that woman is so dramatic. She won't go in the morning, saying she can't get up. She won't go at noon, saying it's too sunny and she doesn't want to go out.

She finally agreed to go out at night, but she kept forgetting her lines, causing serious delays in filming. After shooting for half a month, not a single usable shot came out. The director couldn't take it anymore and yelled at her. She went back and complained, and the investors withdrew their funding in anger.

The director was in a terrible predicament when he thought of Zheng Leran and asked him to help find a suitable actress.

"Can Xiao Wangshu, who hasn't received professional training, handle this?"

She's a future movie queen, and Xia Yichu doesn't want her to have a dark past.

"Well, I don't know either. Maybe we should forget about it and wait until she finishes her training before looking for another opportunity."

"Okay, by the way, what was that movie called again?"

Zheng Leran thought for a moment and said, "It's called 'Letters from Amidst the Flames of War,' a love story set in the Republican era."

Xia Yichu's eyes suddenly lit up. She remembered that this movie was a hit in her past life and had won many awards. Fortunately, she asked around and found out that the female lead in her past life was just an ordinary person that the director randomly picked.

Without any professional training, she became an overnight sensation with just one movie. Unfortunately, she was plagued by scandals afterward, which ruined her acting career.

Xia Yichu felt this was a good opportunity for Xiao Wangshu to come into the public eye, and perhaps even make Xiao Wangshu famous earlier than in his previous life.

"Why don't we let Wang Shu try out for the role? If the director likes her, we can cast her and give her some experience."

Zheng Leran was somewhat surprised that Xia Yichu had changed her mind so quickly.

"Okay, I'll take her to the audition tomorrow."

"Don't wait until tomorrow, take her with you later. Opportunities don't wait, what if someone else snatches her away!"

Xia Yichu didn't know when the director had chosen her as the female lead in her previous life. It was better to finalize the matter sooner rather than later.

"It's alright, no problem. Besides this, I also wanted to talk to you about their personal image and positioning."

As Zheng Leran spoke, she took out another document from her bag.

"I made some preliminary plans based on each of their characteristics. For example, Li Yanlin has a sunny and handsome image, which is suitable for taking the youth idol route."

Zhang Zhenyu has a calm personality and a foundation in martial arts, making him a promising candidate for a kung fu star career. Liang Qinian also possesses a unique voice and has great potential for development in music.

"Okay, I'll review this information with Xu Shaoyang as soon as possible. You go and arrange Xiao Wangshu's audition."

"it is good"

Seeing how anxious Xia Yichu was about this matter, Zheng Leran stood up helplessly and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, could you also ask the director if he needs any more investment?"

The thought that this movie will be a hit makes me realize that if I invest now, I'll definitely make a fortune.

Zheng Leran was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "Boss Xia wants to invest in this movie?"

"right"

"Then I'll ask around for you."

"OK"
