Chu Chen panicked on the spot, even though he had just threatened them with resignation.

But that was a foregone conclusion. They couldn't find anyone else with better popularity and acting skills to play the male lead, so they would definitely agree to his request.

But to everyone's surprise, Fu Shiyi suddenly appeared and tried to take the male lead role without saying a word.

"Director Yi, we agreed a long time ago that we would sign the contract in the next two days."

He turned down countless appearances and cleared his schedule for this film.

Now that someone else has taken my role, I'm going to suffer a huge loss.

Director Yi An looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Just now... it was indeed you who said you couldn't play the role. The investors originally preferred Shi Yi to play the role, but we had to settle for second best because he was unavailable."

Now that you say you can't act, and he's actually looking forward to playing the role, then we have no choice but to cast him.

"Director Yi, I was just saying, it's not that I really can't act," Chu Chen hurriedly explained.

Originally, I just wanted to try to get the role of Tang Shaoqi for Shen Qiu from the company, but I never expected that instead of getting it for her, I would get myself involved as well.

"The entertainment industry is never short of actors, so you'd better watch yourself," Yi An said sternly.

They use any small achievement as leverage to negotiate with him.

Chu Chen gritted his teeth, knowing that there was no hope of trying again, and glared angrily at Fu Shiyi, who was playing on his phone to the side.

"It's only because of the Fu family that you can act with impunity in this circle."

The main reason investors are interested in Shi Yi is because of the Fu Group behind him.

Fu Shiyi shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. I was just lucky to be born into this family."

Chu Chen, having lost his role as the male lead, angrily slammed the door and left.

While the others weren't paying attention, Fu Shiyi winked mischievously at Gu Weiwei.

"Damn it, Chu Chen is currently very popular. Are you deliberately trying to get criticized online?" Qiao Lin was getting fed up with his boss's arbitrary behavior.

He took on this role at the last minute, and now they have to turn down so many of his other engagements.

"With the fighting power of my billion-strong army, how could I not be able to tear him apart?" Fu Shiyi was not afraid at all.

"..." Qiao Lin was speechless.

His fans have been involved in numerous online battles, and their fighting prowess is unmatched by most celebrity fans.

The executive director was most satisfied with the current role, and immediately said so.

"Now that it's settled, we'll arrange the signing as soon as possible. We'll be taking the official photos next week, and our assistant will let you know the specific time."

While Qiao Lin was still talking to Yi An and the others, Fu Shiyi had already called Gu Weiwei and was preparing to leave.

"Qiao Lin, go back to the company by yourself. I'll take her to meet someone while I'm at it."

Gu Weiwei entered the elevator with him before saying, "Third Young Master, thank you."

"We're family, no need to be so polite." Fu Shiyi smiled brightly.

Fu Shiyi got into the car and said, "Get in, I'm going back too."

He angered his brother before, and he didn't dare to go home for several months.

Gu Weiwei got into the car, and Fu Hanzheng called her on the way back.

Did the audition go well?

"It went fairly smoothly."

"Go back and get some rest. You stayed up too late last night," Fu Hanzheng gently advised.

"Yes, I'm on my way back."

Upon hearing her tone, Fu Shiyi quickly said, "Give me the phone, give me the phone, I need to say a few words to my brother."

"Third Young Master wants to talk to you." Gu Weiwei turned on her phone's speakerphone and held it to Fu Shiyi's ear.

"Brother, let me tell you, it's a good thing I arrived in time, otherwise the role my sister-in-law auditioned for would have been snatched away."

"Also, I snatched the male lead role from you, so you don't have to worry about your sister-in-law falling in love with someone else while filming romantic scenes..."

"See? Aren't I your most cherished little darling?"

The person on the other end of the phone hung up without a second thought.

Gu Weiwei glanced at Fu Shiyi, realizing... he had come specifically to steal the male lead role.
