Chapter 164 I heard his surname is Ye, and he's the new vice president of the Yi Group.

Fang Ke was kicked out by Yes, but he had a big smile on his face.

She imagined Yes pushing her away with a tense expression, then saying breathlessly, "Go back and take a shower."

Fang Ke wanted to burst out laughing, and she also noticed that Ye Si's ears had turned red.

Was this man truly innocent, or was he just incredibly patient? With a playful expression, her mood had completely improved, and she went into her room with a smile.

The following day, Jingzhou, washed clean by thunderstorms and rain, looked brand new.

The sun rose again, and everywhere was bathed in its brilliant light.

Fang Yefan was a little surprised to receive a call from Wu Cong today and arrive at the film set early in the morning.

The show has been put on hold due to Wu Cong's insistence and willfulness. Previously, the Yi family had said they wanted to replace him.

He encountered Su Yao at the door. It was as if he hadn't seen Su Yao in a long time. Fang Yefan stood a few steps away from her, looking at the serene girl, and felt that she had become a little unfamiliar.

"Ye Fan, you've arrived too."

Su Yao was as sweet and lovely as ever. Seeing him still being affectionate, Fang Yefan's eyes softened, and he nodded to her.

Su Yao walked beside him. "I don't know why Director Wu called us here today. To be honest, I really think this script is very good. It's rare that all the resources, manpower, and materials are in place... But for some reason, Director Wu insists on having... that person act in it."

Seeing that Fang Yefan remained silent, Su Yao whispered, "Are we going to let the whole crew fall apart for Fang-jie's sake... It's really ironic, no matter how much time passes, she is still the one who can influence the whole situation the most, while I am still just a supporting character, don't you think?"

Fang Yefan stopped and frowned at her. "Yaoyao, why do you say that? Don't belittle yourself."

Su Yao looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Ye Fan, you don't need to comfort me. Actually, I've long since accepted my ordinariness. Some people are just born to be stars. No matter how hard I try, I can never catch up..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Cong flung open the door and looked at them in the hallway with a look of surprise.

"Miss Ye Fansu, what are you two standing there for? Hurry up and come in."

After saying that, he excitedly slammed the door shut.

Su Yao: "..."

Fang Yefan's attention had been diverted: "I wonder what good thing has happened to that old bastard."

Su Yao had a vague sense of unease, and she bit her lip.

Seeing this, Fang Yefan assumed she was still struggling with the issue, so he specifically said, "Yaoyao... this matter with the film crew has nothing to do with Fang Ke..."

He seemed a little unsure how to organize his thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, it was Wu Cong who insisted on having Fang Ke play the role. I've refused several times already, but Wu Cong seems to be under a spell... you know what I mean?"

“.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Su Yao's expression cautiously. He knew, of course, that Fang Ke and Su Yao had been at odds for a long time, and Fang Ke had previously caused trouble for Su Yao at every turn.

But now, when he thinks back on many things, he feels that his memory isn't so clear anymore.

Many times, he didn't actually see Fang Ke harm Su Yao with his own eyes. By the time he arrived, Su Yao had already been hurt and was crying her eyes out...

These past few days he's been constantly thinking about whether there really was some misunderstanding back then.

He didn't think Su Yao was deceiving him; he thought Su Yao might have misunderstood Fang Ke!

Judging from how Fang Ke risked her life to save people in the fire, how could she possibly be a bad person!

And that day, he was at the door of his house, and he overheard Fang Ke telling her father not to disrupt the harmony of the family and not to hurt Fang Manman's feelings...

These recent events, one after another, have made him feel ashamed. After all, he had severely reprimanded Fang Ke many times and had been outspoken on numerous occasions, unknowingly hurting Fang Ke.

As he thought about it, he felt a pang of pain in his heart and a deep sense of guilt.

But he had nowhere to vent this guilt, and even if he wanted to make amends to Fang Ke, he didn't know where to start.

Fang Ke seems to be doing very well now and doesn't need his older brother's existence at all.

He started to feel melancholy as he spoke, and he didn't even hear what Su Yao was saying in front of him.

When he came to his senses, Fang Yefan said, "Sorry, what did you just say? I was daydreaming."

Su Yao: "..."

Su Yao couldn't help but pinch her palm before forcing a smile and saying, "It's nothing. I just told Ye Fan not to misunderstand. I didn't say it was Sister Fang's problem at all. Why do you think that way?"

Fang Yefan laughed, "It's best if you think that way, Yao Yao. Actually, let me tell you, I've watched Fang Ke grow up since she was a child. She's definitely not a bad person at heart... She must have been cursed a couple of years ago, which is why she's been targeting you in every way. Actually, the culprit is Yi Mohan, hmph."

"..."

"However, she seems to have come to her senses now. After all, Yi Mohan isn't a good person either. I think she's thought things through and is completely normal now. I still hope you two can reconcile..."

Su Yao had reached her limit, chuckled, and turned to leave.

Su Yao's premonition was correct; when they arrived at the conference room, an even bigger surprise awaited them.

The conference room door was pushed open, and Fang Yefan and Su Yao glanced inside, then froze, standing motionless at the doorway.

"...Holy crap?"

After being shocked, Fang Yefan's eyes lit up with joy, "Why are you here!"

Su Yao stared intently at the woman already seated at the conference table. Fang Ke, she really had arrived.

Just as she said, some people are born to be stars. She only needs to sit down in simple and casual clothes to attract everyone's attention.

Fang Ke casually tossed her hair, revealing her delicate and aloof eyebrows and eyes. Her eyes were slightly curved, and she looked at people with a captivating charm that neutralized the domineering aura in them.

"HI~"

Fang Ke greeted the two of them warmly and without any reservations.

Fang Yefan's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't seen Fang Ke for over a week, and he felt that Fang Ke's beauty was increasing every day.

He couldn't help but repeat, "Why are you here?"

Fang Ke lazily rested her chin on her hand and smiled at them, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?"

Wu Cong quickly said, "Welcome, welcome! I'd be so happy I'd set off firecrackers if anyone didn't welcome me! I've finally been waiting for you!"

Fang Yefan and Su Yao then took their seats. Su Yao sat opposite Fang Ke, while Fang Yefan hesitated for a moment before choosing to sit on Fang Ke's side.

Su Yao's expression turned completely cold. Looking at Fang Ke, she said, "Sister Fang, has this finally shown our Director Wu's sincerity and is now ready to join the crew?"

"But director, although Sister Fang is currently very popular, she has never studied acting. Is she really capable?"

Director Wu grinned from ear to ear, "Hey, you can learn that!"

Su Yao said, "But with so many of us, things have been stalled for almost a month. If this drags on any longer, it won't be fair to the investors. Where can we find the filming environment we had a few years ago, where we could practice while filming?"

She brought up the investors in the hopes that Wu Cong would come to his senses.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Cong said, "I have already reported this to Shenhe Media's headquarters. They said that Vice President Yi has approved this matter and that my project's filming period can be extended indefinitely. There is no need to worry about funding; I just need to produce the best work."

"How is that possible!"

Su Yao almost blurted out, "You... are you talking about Vice President Yi?"

The only vice president of the Yi Group is Yi Mohan, the heir of the Yi family.

But how could Yi Mohan tolerate Wu Cong's nonsense? Su Yao was secretly alarmed. She had mentioned it to Yi Mohan a few days ago, and Yi Mohan had said that he would replace Wu Cong.

How could they possibly open such a huge back door for Wu Cong in the blink of an eye!

Wu Cong thought for a moment and recalled, "No... I heard his surname is Ye, and he is the new vice president of Yi's Group. However, because he was in charge of Shenhe Media before, he is still in charge now and is the highest-ranking person reporting to this line."

"……leaf?"

Su Yao looked as if she had been struck by lightning, and her expression grew increasingly grim as she seemed to be thinking of something.

Looking at Fang Ke's perpetually smiling face, she felt as if she were being scorned, and a surge of anger burned within her. "Isn't Sister Fang currently enjoying success in variety shows? Is she really going to sacrifice her prime earning years to film a drama?"

"Sister Su, you flatter me too much. Who would complain about having too many gigs?"

Fang Ke smiled and held up the contract in her hand. "It's too late to regret it now. I already signed with Director Wu a long time ago. The main thing is, he really moved me."

"…………"

Wu Cong excitedly grasped Fang Ke's hands, "Sister Fang, your arrival makes me feel like my drama is already halfway to success! My inspiration is flowing like crazy right now. Let's get ready and start filming today! We'll have a costume fitting this afternoon!"

Fang Yefan also smiled. He suddenly felt incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to spend some time with Fang Ke.

He was just thinking about how he hadn't had a chance to make it up to her, and now the opportunity had come! With this relationship, he was sure he could find a chance to make it up to her properly.

The newly appointed vice president of the Yi family is quite good, better than Yi Mohan.

But he still asked, feigning nonchalance, "...No more auditions?"

Wu Cong couldn't wait any longer. "No need to try, just come straight here!"
