Upon seeing her agent, Zhao Yuge, who had already gotten several great deals but whose position was still not secure, immediately stood up.

"Sister Weiwei."

Seeing this, agent Ji Wei pulled up a chair and supported Zhao Yuge's waist.

"Sit down, let's chat."

After Ji Wei sat down, Jing Jiu was about to introduce her when Ji Wei suddenly burst out laughing:

"Mrs. Huo, I've heard so much about you."

It seems she wasn't as cold-hearted as Jingjiu described.

Tang Li stretched out his hand:

"I apologize for disturbing you."

Ji Wei, however, directly reached out to the Jingjiu Expressway:

"Big producer, did you bring the contract?"

contract?

Jing Jiu and Tang Li looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, Jing Jiu finally reacted, hugged Tang Li, and gave her a big kiss.

"It seems someone in your family got there first."

Tang Li was still puzzled, but then she saw Jing Jiu take the contract out of his bag and hand it to Ji Wei.

Ji Wei pushed the contract in front of Zhao Yuge:

"Take a look."

Zhao Yuge was just as clueless as Tang Li.

Upon opening the contract, Zhao Yuge felt her heart pounding: "Ms. Tang, didn't your drama already have a release date set?"

"The Female General" is going to be remade.

To be precise, it's about replacing the actress for the second female lead role and reshooting the scenes.

"What happened?" Zhao Yuge could hardly believe it. One windfall after another was falling from the sky and crashing down on her head.

Ji Wei asked with a smile:

"Are you willing to take on the role of the second female lead? You've read the original novel, so you should know that the second female lead is a major villain. You currently have pretty good resources, so if you're not willing, I won't force you."

The implication is that she has already agreed.

Zhao Yuge nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, of course I'm willing!"

Realizing she might have been too unreserved, Zhao Yuge blushed and explained, "Actually, I auditioned for the role of the second female lead, but the director said my appearance limited me and I couldn't portray the ruthlessness and viciousness of the second female lead."

But actually, playing a villain requires a lot of acting skills.

Because it lacks the protagonist's halo.

Although Zhao Yuge is indifferent to worldly affairs, she also harbors a small ambition.

I hope my acting skills will be recognized.

"In that case, everyone is happy. When we came here, Tang Li kept saying that he was afraid of wronging you, after all, you are currently in the rising stage of your career and have a bright future."

The Beijing-Kowloon Railway was overjoyed.

"I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged at all," Zhao Yuge said excitedly, almost unable to speak.

She was willing to play a supporting role to Lin Yiyun before.

She is now replacing Lin Yiyun as a supporting actress to Zhou Qiao, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner.

Ultimately, she got a great deal.

Although the two sides reached an agreement, Ji Wei still defended her own:

“I just met with the director, and he has everything sorted out. Huo Shao also promised that the show will be released during the summer season. But I still want to say that Yu Ge’s fame is not as good as Lin Yiyun’s yet. Replacing her would be extremely risky for her.”

Tang Li understood what she meant.

Lin Yiyun has been famous for many years and has a huge fan base.

It's understandable that Ji Wei wants to get some protection for Zhao Yuge.

Tang Li then nodded with a smile:

"Don't worry, some people will get out of the entertainment industry before the movie is released."

With Tang Li's words, Ji Wei breathed a sigh of relief:

"Next time something happens, you two can come together. When I first saw you, I thought Young Master Huo didn't have any status at home and that his words didn't count. I thought you were here to cause trouble today."

Huo Chenyu.

He acted so quickly!

Tang Li smiled faintly and smoothed things over:

"For matters of state, listen to him; for the rest, I make the decisions."

The contract was signed smoothly.

As they left the film studio, Jingjiu kept praising Huo Chenyu in the car.

"Your husband is great. He thinks what you think and does what you do. Actions speak louder than empty promises."

"But speaking of which, Lin Yiyun is quite cunning. If she becomes a tainted celebrity, your show will have no chance of airing. No wonder your brother-in-law is hesitant to act rashly."

The lives of the wealthy are like a play; even books wouldn't dare to portray them this way.

"But I'm curious, what evidence did your brother-in-law find against Lin Yiyun? Besides the fact that you used your drama to threaten him, does Lin Yiyun have any other leverage over him?"

Seeing her curious little face, Tang Li teased her:

"Promise me you won't mention the words 'urging me to update' for three months. Once I've investigated and found out, I'll reveal the secret to you."

Three months without any prompting for an update?

"Then forget it? I can't do it. Besides, I have a feeling you'll be writing a new book soon. I've already thought of a title for it: 'I'll Be a Rich Wife in a Wealthy Family.'"

What a tacky book title!

Despite the commotion, while waiting at a red light, Jingjiu held Tang Li's hand and sighed:

“It hasn’t been easy for us along the way. I started following your book when you wrote your first book. I wanted to adapt your book into a TV series back then. The series was about to air, and then this happened.”

"Luckily you're smart and didn't get fooled by your brother-in-law. Your husband is great too. I admire the intelligence of you two."

"It's a real shame that I can't surprise you on your birthday."

Tang Li was already very content, having someone who kept saying he would mail her a kitchen knife to keep her going all the way.

“Good things come to those who wait, but I can’t have dinner with you today. My brother-in-law made a big promise to give me a gift when we first met. I guess he wanted to find something on Lin Yiyun to help me get revenge, but he didn’t expect Lin Yiyun to find his weakness instead.”

"It's amazing that she could come up with such a thing as threatening your brother-in-law with a situation where everyone's fortunes are intertwined. However, seeing how good the Huo family is to you, I'm truly happy for you."

As the vehicle started moving, Jingjiu released her hand and asked again:

"So when do you plan to make your move against Lin Yiyun?"

Tang Li sighed softly:

"No rush. I always feel that she's not that simple. A single drama can't threaten my brother-in-law, who seems carefree but is actually righteous and smart. There must be some secrets I don't know about."

When dealing with someone like Lin Yiyun, the best approach is either to stay out of it.

Once we make our move, we'll ensure she never has a chance to recover.

Jingjiu nodded:

"Then I'll take you to Young Master Huo's place? It's close to his company."

But Tang Li sent him a message, and he didn't reply.

No further response was received after replying to Huo Yancheng's message.

It's clear that the two brothers must have gotten together.

"Just drop me off at the mall up ahead. Aunt Zhen said my mother-in-law likes chestnuts from Jinlimen, so I'll bring some back for her. Jiang Mian should arrive by the time I finish queuing to buy them, and he'll come to pick me up."

In critical moments, the only man you can truly rely on is Jiang Mian.

Although the contract was signed, there was still a lot of mess to clean up in Jingjiu, so after dropping Tang Li off at the roadside, she casually urged him to finish his shift before driving away.

Upon entering the mall, Tang Li saw a long queue at Jinlimen. Just as he walked past, he heard a voice behind him:

"What a coincidence, Miss Tang."
