Qin Manshu smiled and said, "It's not that I don't care, it's just that I haven't seen anyone who interests me before."

"Are there any other people you're interested in, men or women?" Yu Jingchen poured Qin Manshu another cup of tea and continued, "I just think this subject is very interesting, and the investment is likely to yield a good return, so I haven't invested much money."

Yu Jingchen's words were brief, making no mention of Lin Chaomu.

Qin Manshu didn't need to investigate Yu Jingchen's background to know that Yu Jingchen had previously worked with several celebrities in the entertainment industry. Several people had already told Qin Manshu about Yu Jingchen's previous involvement in securing a fashion magazine cover for a celebrity. Although Yu Jingchen's case hadn't become a big deal, many people inside and outside the industry still knew about it.

He's considered lucky; some people get photographed having meals and staying at hotels with big stars after getting married.

Yu Jingchen originally thought Qin Manshu was concerned about Lin Chaomu, but he didn't expect Qin Manshu's next sentence to be: "It seems that Ye Yingying was also chosen as the female lead for this movie?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Manshu was referring to Ye Yingying.

This surprised Yu Jingchen slightly. He paused for a moment before continuing, "She's not the female lead, but she's still a very important character."

This answer piqued Qin Manshu's interest. She was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "You actually know so much about the roles she's played. You know this young lady."

"We don't really know each other, we just have a nod of acquaintance because of some past conflict with the Ye family." Yu Jingchen looked at Qin Manshu and said with a smile, "I happened to have time when she auditioned, so I went to watch. Her acting was okay, but nothing special."

"You're quite picky."

Yu Jingchen smiled and said, "But she is indeed very good-looking, a pretty young girl."

Qin Manshu's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly concealed her emotions and continued, "Do you guys like girls like this? I think my temperament is quite similar to hers, so why don't you praise me like this?"

Qin Manshu's topic seemed like a joke, yet it also seemed like she was exploring something.

"You and she are quite different."

Qin Manshu clenched her hands. "Is that so?"

“She’s the type that easily evokes a man’s protective instincts. As for you…” Yu Jingchen said with a smile, “You may not have realized it yourself, but although you try to be friendly, it’s just politeness, or you’re lowering your stance for some purpose. In the end, you still look down on others.”

"Hehe, this is the first time I've heard such a viewpoint." Qin Manshu chuckled dismissively.

Yu Jingchen also smiled: "Miss Qin, we are the same kind of people. Although we have lowered our stance, we still look down on others deep down."

“The people who are like you dislike each other the most.” Qin Manshu looked up at Yu Jingchen, as if she was going against him at every turn. But just as Yu Jingchen was about to respond to her, Qin Manshu stopped herself and said, “Isn’t there a launch ceremony or banquet for this movie recently? If it’s convenient, how about you take me along? I’m also quite interested in this kind of movie. I happen to have some money on hand, and if the script suits my taste, I’m not afraid to invest.”

Qin Manshu directly suggested going there, saying she was interested in the movie, but in reality, she was interested in Ye Yingying.

The opening ceremony for "The Wall" was held as scheduled, and a set of character photos for "The Wall" were taken before the ceremony.

After the opening ceremony, Edward released the costume photos of all the actors online. Since it's a commercial film, the higher the popularity, the better. Even before filming officially started, Edward tried his best to let everyone know about the movie. He even opened an official account to record some interesting anecdotes from the filming process.

After a busy day, Edward finally said that the investors would be treating everyone to dinner tonight, and that everyone should try to attend if they were free. Although he was being very polite, how could anyone not go to such an occasion, especially Lin Chaomu? According to Edward, Yu Jingchen would definitely be at the dinner tonight. Lin Chaomu had been feeling very attached to Yu Jingchen lately. She and Yu Jingchen had always been very affectionate, and recently, because of Yu Jingchen's crazy college application campaign, she had developed even more admiration for him. When she was envied by her old friends who were still not very popular, her admiration for Yu Jingchen would increase because of all the satisfaction she felt.

But Lin Chaomu never expected to see Qin Manshu at this dinner party.

Others might know that Yu Jingchen was getting engaged, but they might not know who he was getting engaged to. However, Lin Chaomu had known for a long time why Yu Jingchen and she had broken up. She never expected that Qin Manshu would appear at the opening banquet, especially with Yu Jingchen.

Even those unaware of the inside story, unfamiliar with the medical field, and unfamiliar with Qin Manshu, would guess from her attire and her sitting next to Yu Jingchen that Qin Manshu was probably someone not to be trifled with.

Those who knew a little about the inside story couldn't help but confirm their suspicions upon seeing this scene, and even looked at Lin Chaomu with some ill intent, secretly hoping that there would be a good show at tonight's dinner party.

Edward sensed the sudden change in atmosphere and was puzzled as to why this aunt of the Qin family suddenly expressed interest in his film and wanted to chat about it, and also to see the main actors involved. However, Edward never turned down money, and since Qin Manshu was willing to invest, he was naturally happy to see it happen. He even said with a smile, "This is a big shot in the pharmaceutical industry. You all should have a good chat. If you can get this lady's acting skills, you might have special privileges if you ever need to go to the hospital in the future."

The female lead was a good talker. Hearing the director say that, she smiled and said, "Director, that's not very nice of you. You're cursing us to go to the hospital!"

The atmosphere eased slightly, and Qin Manshu smiled and said, "I just heard about this topic and became interested. Mental illnesses have always been a very complex branch of medicine. Many people have some psychological issues to varying degrees; in fact, everyone has them, such as anxiety, allergies, and cognitive impairments in perception and sensation, etc."

She spoke in a gentle tone and had a very approachable smile, which made me feel less nervous.

The other artists took their seats, and Ye Yingying casually found a place to sit down, but Qin Manshu called out to her, "Yingying, why don't you sit next to me? I don't know if you still recognize me or if you have any impression of me. I'm your sister's friend, and I've been to the Ye family a few times before."

Without hesitation, Ye Yingying sat down next to Qin Manshu after he spoke.

Qin Manshu had been acting subtly towards her before, clearly not wanting to talk to her much, but today he suddenly called her over in such a friendly manner.
