The next day, Li Jianshan visited as usual.

It happened to be a Saturday, so Qi Yan didn't have to go to school.

Qi Yan and Li Jianshan opened the door with smiles on their faces. Li Jianshan's elite brain immediately went off the alarm bells, and he began to seriously doubt whether he had done something wrong again.

"W-What's wrong?"

Qi Yan led him to the sofa and said solemnly, "We are also moved by your sincerity. Saving people from suffering is what we practitioners should do."

She Zhang nodded vigorously from the side.

Li Jianshan doubted whether the word "cultivation" could be applied to the two of them.

"Now, please welcome our Master Jiang to help you out of your predicament."

Qi Yan and She Zhang each held down one of Li Jianshan's shoulders and raised their hands, saying, "Master Jiang, please."

Jiang Si ignored their performance and pointed the vajra-like object directly at Li Jianshan's forehead.

At that moment, Li Jianshan suspected that Jiang Si was going to kill him.

Jiang Si took a drop of blood from Li Jianshan's forehead and smeared it on the bottom of the vajra. The vajra, touched by the blood, seemed to come alive and absorbed it in no time.

Then he picked up Li Jianshan's left arm and quickly slashed it, leaving a scar on his wrist.

Li Jianshan immediately fainted and slumped onto the sofa.

Qi Yan finally felt relieved. "Master, when will he wake up?"

Li Jianshan's people may not come, but a five-star hotel chef's meal can. He wants to stay by Li Jianshan's side and discuss things with him.

She Zhang doesn't really like to eat that much.

They ran happily to the side.

Finally, some peace and quiet! I can finally play games in peace and quiet.

Jiang Si said, "About half an hour."

High-quality imitation marriage thread can have a slight impact on a person's emotional intelligence, and it takes some time to fully recover.

So poor Li Jianshan woke up to find Qi Yan staring at him.

"Hello, are you awake?" Qi Yan stretched out her little paws and waved cutely.

Li Jianshan was still somewhat dazed, and then his face became a variety of colors, displaying all sorts of hues.

Even the masters of face-changing aren't as entertaining as him.

Li Jianshan stormed out of the door and fled.

Qi Yan shouted from behind, "Hey, we still want the five-star chef service!"

The streets were crowded with pedestrians, and Li Jianshan was in a state of utter despair.

He wanted to burst into tears. Oh my god, what had he done? He, an elite CEO, had done so many stupid things for a woman!

Even if he truly loved someone, he was still being schemed against.

Thinking of his past relationship with Xiang Zhiyi, he wanted to jump into the Yangtze River to rinse his mouth.

Li Jianshan wandered aimlessly through the streets until it got dark before finally escaping home.

When Uncle Li saw him, he asked with concern, "Did things go well today?"

Li Jianshan felt very resentful.

Was it smooth sailing? It was far too smooth!

Li Jianshan waved his hand and listlessly crawled back into his bed. He was thankful he hadn't gone so far as to bring Xiang Zhiyi back to spend the night, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay in this house.

As expected, Li Jianshan did not appear again in the following days.

When Qi Yan came home from school, he began to embrace the free and unrestrained life of a rat.

She Zhang finally passed the test.

The five-star hotel still delivered three meals a day on time. Only while eating would Qi Yan remark, "Actually, Li Jianshan is a pretty good person."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "It's fine if I send you to the Li family."

She Zhang remained silent, wanting only to finish his meal quickly and start the next round.

Li Jianshan only wanted to heal his wounds in silence, but someone else was unwilling to let him.

The production of "Dust and Fate" had already received a significant investment in its early stages, with all sets and personnel in place. However, due to Xiang Zhiyi's situation, the production was halted.

It's now a certainty that Xiang Zhiyi won't be the lead actress, but the movie can't be left unreleased.

As one of the investors, Li Jianshan was invited to discuss the matter.

The only thing Li Jianshan could be thankful for was that the news of his suicide attempt had been kept under wraps. As long as Jiang Si didn't tell anyone, no one would know.

Otherwise, he would jump into the river, and even Buddha wouldn't have a say in it.

Knowing their deep affection, Director Zheng offered a weak consolation: "There are plenty of fish in the sea, Mr. Li, you don't need to take it too seriously."

Li Jianshan silently sipped his tea, truly bringing up the very thing he shouldn't have said.

He subtly changed the subject: "Have you chosen a female lead yet?"

Director Zheng sighed: "There are quite a few people interested, but there isn't a suitable one yet."

"Dust and Fate" is a big production with top-notch production values. As soon as Xiang Zhiyi got into trouble, many people in the industry started to have designs on it.

They greeted Director Zheng one by one, hoping for an extra audition opportunity.

Guan Qingchen lowered his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and said, "I do have a suitable candidate."

"Who is it?" Director Zheng and Li Jianshan asked at the same time.

"Han Yunluo".

Director Zheng didn't recognize him and frowned in confusion: "A new actor?"

Li Jianshan's expression was subtle.

Of course he knew who Han Yunluo was. He had seen Han Yunluo during the few days he was at Jiang Si's house. She was very kind and beautiful. He wouldn't comment on her acting skills, which he didn't possess. He trusted Guan Qingchen's judgment.

But she had seen his ugly side before!

Li Jianshan was once again in a state of anxiety, wondering if he could escape this world!

"Yes, he's a newcomer." Completely new, with absolutely no acting experience.

Guan Qingchen wasn't love-struck; he didn't think about promoting his future wife, but rather felt that she was truly suitable.

Besides exceptional acting skills, another type of acting is natural performance.

The casting choices for Han Yunluo and Jiang Si are actually quite similar; both are suitable and allow them to play themselves.

The female protagonist of "Dust and Fate" eventually ascends to immortality through meditation, and Han Yunluo possesses both Buddhist and divine qualities.
