Chapter 70 Filming: "How about I play the male lead?"...

Jing Chen's expression was incredibly sincere: "I've auditioned every Omega actor in the country, big and small, and none of them are suitable for this role. I believe that only you are perfectly suited for this role—whether it's your image and temperament or your life experience, you are the best choice!"

"Oh." Shi Wei's reaction was indifferent.

Jing Chen looked at her, and after a while said dejectedly, "Because it's a charity project, our budget is limited... and your time is also very precious, which cannot be measured in money, but... I'm willing to offer you a little help!"

Shi Wei became interested and decided to listen to what conditions he would offer.

Jing Chen turned on his personal terminal, projecting information about several companies. He said excitedly, "The largest mining company and pharmaceutical company on Mercury Star are both our family's businesses. Our company also has a stake in the 'Hundred Medicines Project' that your brother, Mr. Shi Chuan, jointly developed with Yue Luo Xing's United Pharmaceutical Company at the end of last year. My mother has always felt that this project has great potential..."

The young man was still talking non-stop, occasionally frowning slightly. She remembered that this project didn't seem to be progressing very smoothly.

After speaking for a while, Jing Chen finally got to the point when Miss Moran tapped the table for the second time: "...However, due to the recent changes in the situation in the Fran Empire, foreign trade has been investigated more and more strictly, which has caused the procedures for this project to be delayed. Miss Shi, to be honest, I have almost found out who is behind this!"

"oh?"

"Your elder brother, Mr. Shi Chuan, and Li Huaize, the heir of the Li family, were classmates and collaborated for many years. However, since you came to Manla, Mr. Shi's cooperation with the Li family has ended. As you also know, the Li family has a very high chance of winning in this political upheaval, and their biggest competitor is the Cui family. The procedures related to this project were handled by the Cui family, and the Cui family is not targeting you—"

Shi Wei smiled nonchalantly: "The Cui family discussed cooperation with my brother, but he refused. They were worried that my brother would still support Li Huaize, so they wanted to force my brother to leave."

Back then, she was just an ordinary Omega girl in the Fran Empire who knew nothing. The most powerful person she had ever met was Eric, the son of a count. But things are different now. Even a century-old noble like Li Cui has to be wary of her, a person who is far away in Manra but can easily shake up the situation.

Li Huaize and Shi Chuan had contacted each other several times, but Shi Chuan's response was indifferent; he only said that he did not want to get involved.

However, as long as Shi Wei is by Sklag II's side, Fran's nobles will all have to be wary of him.

"I'm willing to help you solve this little problem. It's too boring for you to handle such a trivial matter yourself. Trust me, I will solve it perfectly for you," Jing Chen said confidently.

Actually, Shi Wei had asked Shi Chuan about this matter, and Shi Chuan said it didn't matter. Once the Li and Cui families had decided who would win, the project would be approved. He didn't support either of them, and no one would do anything to him.

Shi Wei felt it was unnecessary; she had plenty of ways to get the Fran government to approve these projects, but her brother didn't want her to do that.

Shi Chuan wanted her to stay away from these things.

But ever since Yi Lan stirred up such a commotion, she can't avoid these things for the rest of her life.

Shi Wei couldn't help but tease, "So if I don't make this film, will you stop helping me?"

Jing Chen was taken aback, staring blankly at her, then said dejectedly, "No! Even if you don't want to, I'd be happy to serve you!"

Shi smiled and remained silent, glancing at Miss Moran.

Jing Chen was very perceptive and made an excuse to leave.

"How old is he? Why is he working for the Omega Association?" Shi Wei asked Miss Moran.

“Not even forty yet, still a young man, but he knows how to act.” Moran observed her expression and said slowly, “Actually, I think you can agree. You’ve been too low-key in Manla. Ordinary people can’t find out anything about you. His Majesty cares about you so much, you will eventually have to step into the public eye.”

"You don't need to debut in such a melodramatic idol drama, do you?" Shi Wei sighed.

Miss Moran was amused, and after a long while, she covered her mouth and said, "Actually, I think the script is quite well written."

Shi Wei looked at her, then suddenly reached out and placed her hand on her chest, saying, "Really? How can you say that to your own conscience?"

Miss Moran herself didn't know if she had a conscience. She squeezed Shi Wei's hand back and said, "Believe me, Jing Chen is a good director. He will definitely make you an overnight sensation."

Shi Wei slowly withdrew her hand and said, "I think you should know about my situation. If I were to act in it myself, it would seem too deliberate."

Miss Moran took her fingertips; those hands were flawless and white, just like the Omega in front of her. She countered, "Is it deliberate? He's a commander, and he's personally putting on a grand show. How can His Majesty be at ease if you don't challenge him?"

Your Majesty... Your Majesty is indeed very worried.

Shi Wei said, "Let me think about it some more."

It's possible to make a public service announcement video. Asta has been making various promotional videos for many years, and she always stars in the recruitment videos for mercenaries.

She definitely needs some buzz.

After discussing it with the team, Secretary Wang agreed, saying, "If they are turning evil into entertainment, then we should turn entertainment into justice. That's not a bad idea either."

Shi Wei said slowly, "Do you also want to see me make this kind of melodramatic movie?"

Secretary Wang adjusted her glasses, her smile as gentle as ever: "How could that be?"

Shi Wei mentioned this matter to His Majesty, and sure enough, the man frowned after reading the script.

Who wrote the screenplay?

"Jing Chen." Shi Wei thought to herself that this script must have been written by that cheerful young man.

"Why does the female lead have a romantic storyline with the second male lead?" His Majesty circled a scene in red and said unhappily, "Delete it."

Shi Wei was speechless at his focus and sighed, "Is it really appropriate to make this kind of film?"

She's always been a good girl who wants to keep a low profile.

"Let's film it then." King Skrag II wasn't the type to be overly controlling of his partner. He flipped through the script and suddenly said, "How about I play the male lead?"

Shi Wei: "..."

She touched the man's forehead to make sure he didn't have a fever, and said, "That's a real waste of your talent. If you also want to have some fun, you can shoot this year's recruitment advertisement. That would fit your persona better."

His Majesty scoffed, circled another line, and said, "Then delete this part as well."

Shi Wei glanced at it; this was a kissing scene between the male and female leads.

I have nothing to say.

Judging from his appearance, if he were to play the male lead, he would probably add a lot of scenes for himself and turn the second male lead into a villainous character who does all sorts of evil.

Not long after, Shi Wei received a message from Shi Chuan.

Jing Chen was very fast, and he did an extremely good job.

Shi Wei sent a message to her brother: "Look, brother, even if I don't help you with this, countless people will be eager to do it for me."

After a long time, Shi Chuan finally replied: "You are right, I will talk to Li Huaize."

Nora Estate.

The long, dark night couldn't conceal the prosperity here; nightingales sang in the precious trees. Inside, Jing Chen casually flipped through the reports sent by his subordinates and then sent a message to his secretary: "I'll be a little late for the filming the day after tomorrow. You decide what to do. Make sure to protect that lady's safety. Remember—listen to her in everything."

A young man sitting opposite him chuckled: "Don't be so nervous. The royal guards aren't just sitting around doing nothing. This is the capital; mercenaries can't break in."

Jing Chen poured himself a glass of wine, savored it slowly, and said, "It's really strange. I can understand why Prince Similan came to join in the fun, since there have always been rumors that he likes this Miss Shi. How come Prince Cyril also agreed?"

Duke Himer, this extremely young duke, had a smile on his face that was beyond his years, and said slowly, "They are brothers, they will fight over anything."

Jing Chen asked in surprise, "You mean, His Highness Cyril also..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Himer shake his finger at him, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed and were reflected on the transparent carved window. Jing Chen heard the gentle voice of a young man not far away: "Don't talk nonsense. It is more appropriate for that young lady to be accompanied by the two princes."

Jing Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, are you aware of this?"

The blond boy didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "What kind of person do you think that young lady is?"

After thinking for a while, Jing Chen gave what he thought was the most appropriate answer: "Gentle, innocent, kind, and a little cute."

Duke Hammer asked, "You sound like an innocent, naive young girl."

Jing Chen understood his meaning and chuckled, "You can interpret it that way. Although I was also quite shocked that His Majesty had such a taste, from what I've seen so far, this young lady is quite easy to get along with."

The blond boy closed his eyes, rubbing his temples with his slender fingers, and sighed: "Many years ago, Jiang Chuge came to me, wanting my father to remarry His Majesty."

Jing Chen was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to cough and say, "No, your father??? No, why would he have such a bizarre idea?"

Himer sighed: "Because my father is the Omega with the highest concentration of Asta genes among the royal family members, Jiang Chuge believes that my father may give birth to a powerful Alpha for His Majesty..."

This is truly an outrageous idea.

Not to mention that Hermer's mother is still alive and has a decent relationship with Hermer's father, the two were a good match when they got married and passed the royal family's test, so they are not so easy to divorce.

Although there is nothing Your Majesty cannot do if you want to.

However, when His Majesty was matching all eligible Omegas in Manra, the first step was to exclude all male Omegas from the list.

Not to mention that His Majesty now has a new partner, and they seem to be getting along very well.

“Young Master Jiang has gone mad.” Jing Chen said clearly, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. From what I’ve observed these past few days, His Majesty is very fond of that young lady.”

"Of course I like her." Hermer chuckled lightly and said casually, "How could I not like the woman I finally found?"

He had to compete with his son to win the heart of the beauty.

The young duke took a sip of wine and said, “We all know that the higher the compatibility, the better the offspring will be. This is especially important in the inheritance of royal blood. His Majesty’s strong ability is also inseparable from the efforts of the previous two emperors. This Miss Shi’s compatibility with His Majesty has exceeded 70%.”

Jing Chen instantly understood what He Mo meant and said, "I understand what you mean. I will serve this Miss Shi well."

Not all nobles wanted to gamble between the two princes. The Manla royal family had a large number of members in each generation, but the number has never exceeded a thousand, because every change of the throne involved countless people.

Duke Hermer did not want his father to change course, nor did he want to get involved in the power struggle. He wanted to build a good relationship with Shi Wei.
