To buy back her deceased mother's dowry, Wen Ran threw herself into the entertainment industry, only to find herself struggling immensely.
Thus, she sought out Shang Jingchi, who was rich...
Shang Jingchi smiled calmly, "You're right, businessmen are motivated by profit, and no businessman would take the initiative to do a losing business.
I did this today only because I admire Miss Wen's abilities, so I am willing to give up some of my interests.
I hope that when her contract expires in the future, Ms. Wen will be able to renew her contract with Tianrui."
After hearing this, Wen Ran finally felt relieved.
If it was just for contract renewal, it wouldn't be a big deal. What she feared most was Shang Jingchi talking about some things in the past.
Especially since Shang Jingchi was still wearing their wedding ring on his finger, she felt really uneasy.
"In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Wen Ran walked forward and spread the contract flat on the table, then picked up Shang Jingchi's pen, turned to the last page of the contract, and signed his name.
Shang Jingchi watched Wen Ran's movements closely, feeling secretly delighted.
After signing the contract, Wen Ran put down the pen, looked up and met Shang Jingchi's smiling gaze.
After a moment of confusion, he quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Shang. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"How did you get here? I'll drive you back." Shang Jingchi's voice came from behind.
Wen Ran turned around and said, "Don't bother Mr. Shang, Xiao Zhao is driving!"
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Zhao and quickly left the office.
It wasn't until he entered the elevator that Wen Ran completely relaxed.
Xiao Zhao raised her hand and touched her chest. "I was so scared, Sister Ran. You just said I was driving and you didn't see it. Mr. Shang looked at me like he wanted to eat me up. It was so scary."
"Ah?" Wen Ran looked puzzled. "Why is he glaring at you?"
"Maybe he wants to send you back!" Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment after saying this, and said seriously, "It seems so. Mr. Shang probably wants to send you back."
Xiao Zhao's face paled immediately. "It's over, it's over. Did I offend Mr. Shang?"
Wen Ran pointed at Xiao Zhao's head and said, "What are you imagining? He's such a busy man, how could he have the time to see us off? He's just saying polite words."
There was a beep from the elevator, indicating that it had descended to the parking lot.
Wen Ran was the first to walk out of the elevator.
Xiao Zhao trotted after him, thought for a moment, and finally said:
"Sister Ran, I still feel something is wrong. Don't you think that Mr. Shang has become very abnormal since you pretended to have lost your memory?
Not only Mr. Shang, but also Xu Yuan and the entire Shang Group are all very surprised. They seem to be more attentive to you than to Mr. Shang."
Wen Ran shrugged, "I can't figure it out either, so I just stop thinking about it.
Right now, I'm 7 and the company is 3. From now on, I'm going to work hard on my movies and make a lot of money!"
Xiao Zhao was immediately excited when she heard this, "Great, great! With Sister Yi Ran's ability, the position of Best Actress will definitely be yours in the future."
Wen Ran raised his chin, walked with a happy pace, and hummed a song.
Four days later, the crew held a start-up ceremony, and Wen Ran appeared in front of the media in casual clothes.
She gained 30 pounds and successfully caused a sensation in the media. After the ceremony, she was surrounded by the media, who rushed to interview her.
Wen Ran had no idea how to squeeze out.
"Ms. Wen deliberately gained weight for the filming of a new drama. I hope everyone will focus more on future works to be broadcast."
Fang Li grabbed the shoulders of the people on both sides and squeezed into the middle position from the outside.
She protected Wen Ran behind her and continued loudly to the media personnel, "Miss Wen still has work to do later. I hope everyone can understand."
After saying that, she pulled Wen Ran, quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and went backstage.
Everyone in the backstage was removing their makeup. Fang Li let go of her hand and looked at Wen Ran. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, there are just too many reporters, and it's a bit scary because of the crowd." Wen Ran said with a smile.
Fang Li comforted him, "Don't be afraid, they make a living from this.
We just want you to perform differently in front of the camera, so we deliberately surround you so tightly, all for the sake of attention.
Don't offend them, I'll take care of it from now on, and I can say anything unpleasant."
Fang Li spoke in a joking tone, and Wen Ran felt a warm feeling in his heart and laughed out loud.
"Director Fang, you are so humorous."
"You are my heroine. If I don't protect you, who else should I protect?" Fang Li looked at Wen Ran carefully, with strong admiration in her eyes.
"But I really didn't expect that you would gain 30 pounds for this drama. It really surprised me."
Wen Ran felt embarrassed by the compliment, "Since I accepted this script, of course I have to follow it."
Fang Li nodded in approval. "Yes, you're much more conscious than the actresses I've worked with before. Are you free tonight?"
Wen Ran took a step forward and said positively, "Yes!"
"Okay, the crew is having a dinner tonight, you can come too.
This is a good opportunity to get to know the other characters better. Only when we are familiar with each other can we work together better during filming."
Wen Ran nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Director Fang."
Fang Li casually said something else and then went about her own business.
Fang Li is only a dozen years older than Wen Ran. Whether arranging work or handling matters, she can do it quickly and effectively.
This made Wen Ran sigh, "Looks like I need to learn more from Director Fang in the future."
Wen Ran didn't wear any makeup today and was dressed casually. Her current figure wasn't suitable for a formal dress.
In the evening, Wen Ran brought Xiao Zhao to the crew's dinner place - Jingjue Club.
Wen Ran turned several corners before finding the box 6573 that Fang Li had sent him.
