Chapter 181 Moral kidnapping is useless. She won’t endure the hardship to take the civil service exam. She is not afraid that her father has a criminal record.

Xu Jin wanted to use the company to avoid jail time, but Xu's parents threatened to commit suicide.

After the guilt disappeared, the man also felt that ten months in prison was not proportional to the company worth tens of millions.

So I followed my parents' request and changed my mind.

At this moment, Yan Ning and Xi Zhi did not think highly of Xu Jin's company.

Rather than money, the two sisters would rather let the person who hurt Xinxin go to prison for reflection and reform.

After the Xu family elders had convinced their son, they turned around and morally blackmailed Yan Ning.

"Yan Ning, when you married my son, you had nothing. Over the years, you've been eating well and dressing well, leading a life that's completely different from your life in your mother's family. You've also taken away most of the property. What else are you not satisfied with?

Can't you just let my son go?

I beg you to be kind and let my poor son go. If Xinxin takes the civil service exam in the future, his biological father will have a stain. You are ruining Xinxin's bright future just because of a momentary anger.

You can't be so selfish, Yan Ning!"

Xizhi: "Haha... As expected, like sons are like mothers. You're hitting my face with all those abacus beads..."

Yan Ning: "Civil Service Exam? Madam Xu, taking the civil service exam is like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. How desperate am I to let my precious daughter go through this?

I am rich and capable, and I have a great sister. Xinxin's aunt loves her as much as I, her biological mother, do. Why should we let our child suffer?

Is it to fulfill your moral kidnapping?

Xu Jin, I told you at the beginning that you have someone else outside, and that our fate is over, so we should part ways amicably. You have to pay the price for doing something wrong. Our divorce could have been peaceful, and you would still be Xinxin's father.

But you could find any other woman, but you had to find such a disgusting thing, who has hurt my heart more than once.

Xinxin is my life. You touched her and made her sad. I don't mind a fight to the bitter end. You will go to jail. You deserve it. The one who hurt you was not me, but you yourself!"

This was the last time Yan Ning met Xu Jin, and the subsequent court trial and judgment matters were entrusted to the lawyer to handle.

She has more important things to do.

It was a rare opportunity for the two sisters to have lunch together. They really ate together, but Yan Ning also called two other people to come and eat with them.

He was a tall and thin man in his forties, with an assistant wearing glasses.

These two people looked like refugees, very sloppy and had no image at all.

"Excuse me, who is Producer Yan Ningyan?"

Xizhi ate mustard shrimp balls and pointed at Yan Ning.

"Is that Director Bi Shengli?"

Bi Shengli nodded. "It's me, Producer Yan. Hello. My assistant told me you're very interested in my movie."

Yan Ning asked the two to sit down.

Business cards were exchanged.

"I heard the investor withdrew their investment after two-thirds of the filming was completed. Why?"

Bi Shengli sighed helplessly: "The daughter of an investment businessman insisted on trying her hand at acting, but the daughter's image and acting skills are really not good at all. If I use this lady, my movie will be completely ruined.

Our team has spent three years meticulously crafting the script for this film, and we really don't want all our hard work to be ruined by a single bad omission."

When the director said this, Yan Ning and Xizhi both understood the reason.

This director is serious and responsible about his work, but the investors spend money just to let their ugly children satisfy their star addiction. This will indeed damage the director's reputation.

"What's your situation now?"

“We shot everything well according to the previous script, but when it came to the final crucial part, the investor withdrew his investment and we owed a sum of money. Later filming was also impossible due to lack of funds.

That investor has some power, and currently no one in the entire Haicheng dares to invest in my movie.

Producer Yan, with just 10 million, we can complete this film. Would you mind taking a look at our script and the first half of the film and considering it?"

Bi Shengli was humble and pleaded in a flattering manner.

Xizhi used her mobile phone to search for information about this director and was surprised to find that he didn't have any outstanding works. No wonder no one voted for him.

There is only one short film, which does not attract enough attention or exposure. However, for a five-minute short film, grassroots movie fans like Xizhi think it is pretty good.

Yan Ning: "How much money did the investors give you initially?"

Bi Shengli: "Twenty-five million. His daughter didn't get the lead role, so he withdrew his investment. We now owe this investor twenty million. Because the second female role of the capitalist's ugly child was missing, this part of the scene needs to be re-shot. The combined budget is ten million.

As for the debt we owe, we can only pay it back after the movie is released and sells well."

However, the repayment date for this debt is less than three months away, and it is still unknown whether the movie will be a hit.

Bi Shengli has been frantically trying to attract investment and build connections recently, but when he was young, he was too proud to compromise with coal bosses or bow to capitalists, so now he has no connections at all.

The actors are all new faces with no fame.

Yan Ning asked a few more questions, and after Bi Shengli answered them one by one, she said, "Let's make a decision after I have seen the first half of your film and the script. Let's eat first, and then we will go to your studio to take a look."

Bi Shengli and his assistant Zhang Wei seemed to see hope, their eyes lit up and they said yes repeatedly.

Yan Ning asked the waiter to bring two more bowls of rice, signaling them to eat without hesitation. However, these two people were really rude. They picked up the bowls and started to eat rice, one bowl in three mouthfuls. Xizhi had seen this today.

It looked like the two of them hadn't eaten for eight days, so Xizhi directly asked the waiter for a bucket of rice.

Four people ate up all the six dishes and one soup.

After dinner, the group went to a cheap rental house in the suburbs, the environment was terrible.

On the desk filled with various video equipment, Bi Shengli turned on a computer.

"Mr. Yan, please take a look at the finished film of the front part first."

Although Xizhi and Yan Ning disliked this environment, they were not so reluctant to stay and started reading the first half of the content on the computer.

This is an urban romance film with a humorous plot, but it is not a comedy in the traditional sense.

The lines can be seen to have been carefully written. Although they are young faces, they give people a very fresh feeling. The acting skills of the new actors are also very good. Unknowingly, the two sisters are attracted by the plot of the movie...

On the way back after getting the script from Bi Shengli, Xizhi asked Yan Ning.

"Sister, do you want to invest?"
