Fu Meihua looked at Pan Yuerou excitedly, about to signal her to agree quickly, but then her expression froze.

She suddenly remembered that a while ago, a film crew had been negotiating with her friend. It was said to be a big production, and although she wasn't the lead actress, but only the second lead, the director was famous and the project had a large investment. If Pan Yuerou accepted the role, it would be a very good opportunity.

So Fu Meihua quickly asked on behalf of her friend about the investment and main creative team of the Liu Rulan production team.

After Liu Rulan gave a brief explanation of the situation, Fu Meihua's expression softened considerably.

On one hand, there's the second female lead in a big-budget production, and on the other hand, there's the lead actress in a small-budget production... Compared to that, the former project is clearly more appealing.

She felt that her friend deserved to go to a better film crew.

After a moment's thought, Pan Yuerou nodded in agreement to Liu Rulan's invitation: "Okay, I can."

"Yue Rou!"

Fu Meihua gasped, surprised that Pan Yuerou agreed so readily. She quickly winked at her, "Why don't you think about it some more?"

Pan Yuerou, however, was quite firm: "I can."

Liu Rulan glanced at Fu Meihua, but did not force her. She simply nodded and said, "Someone will come to discuss the detailed contract with you tomorrow. You can think about it again."

She then took her leave.

After Liu Rulan left, Fu Meihua said anxiously, "Yuerou, why did you agree? What about 'The Legend of Zhaohua'?"

“I owe Xiao He and the others a favor because of some things I did before,” Pan Yuerou said. “I’ve been feeling bad about it, and taking on this script is a way of making up for my mistake.”

If I take a smaller paycheck and do my best to portray the character, it will be a way of atoning for my past "blindness" in my youth.

"Well, you can't joke around with your future like that!" Fu Meihua said excitedly.

"No, don't worry, Meihua, I'm really calm." Pan Yuerou patted Fu Meihua's hand, knowing that her friend was genuinely thinking of her best interests, and her expression softened. "Actually, I also have my own considerations. Liu Rulan has always had a good eye, and this is the first investment project of their Linghui Studio, so it certainly won't be too bad."

"On the other hand, I've already looked into 'The Legend of Zhaohua.' You can tell from the name that it mainly revolves around the female lead's story. Other characters have a very small role. Even if you play the second female lead, you might not get as much screen time as the maids next to the female lead."

Moreover, the production team had conditions—once Pan Yuerou agreed to play the role, her agency contract had to be signed under the name of the entertainment company behind the production team.

Pan Yuerou hasn't graduated yet, and she doesn't really want to be tied to a contract at this time.

Therefore, the production team from Ling Hui's studio is more suitable for her.

While comforting Fu Meihua, Pan Yuerou silently resolved in her heart to work hard in the film crew.

On the other side, Xiao He was completely unaware that he had a hater (in the past tense) and was preparing to work hard to atone for his sins. After leaving the classroom, he happened to see Liu Rulan.

"How is it?" Xiao He asked immediately.

"Not bad, the success rate is high."

"That's good." Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief. "Now the crew is finally complete, and we can start filming anytime."

Liu Rulan chuckled lightly: "What? Are you worried about problems with the production crew?"

No, that's not it.

Xiao He recalled Ma Qianyou and looked up with some melancholy: "The main problem is that the crew hasn't started filming. I'm worried that this old fellow Ma Qianyou really has some kind of mystical knowledge, and our little temple can't accommodate him."

Liu Rulan: "...You think about so many things all day long."
