"Um."

She was about to call Fu Yishu when he called her first.

Tang Yaoyao answered the phone immediately.

Fu Yishu asked, "Yao'er, did you see Shang Jie's Weibo post?"

"Yes, I just saw it. Fourteenth Brother, is what she said true?"

Fu Yishu was silent for a while before saying, "Her name in the book circle is Shanghao Youth. At that time, I didn't have many readers, and she was one of them. She would come and open the book every day to comment and read. She accompanied me for a long time."

Tang Yaoyao did not interrupt him and waited for him to continue.

"Later, when 'If Love Is a Dream' was updated, she sat on the sofa. I could tell that she genuinely liked my book. She left a message saying that if she became a star, she would like to play the female lead in my book if she had the chance. I replied with a thank you."

Tang Yaoyao frowned slightly: "In her mind, this 'thank you' means 'agreement'."

"Actually, I never thought she would be a celebrity. At that time, I was grateful for her support and I didn't want to upset her."

Shang Jie has liked Fourteenth Brother for so many years, she can't just break off all ties.

Tang Yaoyao frowned slightly and asked, "Do you really want her to play the female lead?"

Fu Yishu said firmly, "Other books are fine, but this one is not. It has to be you. If it's not you, I won't agree to sell the copyright."

"The person who stood by you through thick and thin is the one you should never betray. Although she took advantage of your past friendship in this matter, it cannot erase her genuine affection for you."

Judging from her tone, Fu Yishu didn't seem upset by Shang Jie's long post. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm planning to make 'If Love Is a Dream' into a movie, with her as the female lead, and I'll invest in it myself. What do you think?"

"Sure, didn't she say she wanted to be the female lead in this book back then? Now, just as she wished, many web dramas adapted from novels are very popular. This is an opportunity for her, and we are grateful for her support over the years."

Fu Yishu pursed his lips: "I'll have Fourth Brother talk to him."

"No need, leave this to me. Besides, I'm the president of Chengyu Media now, and I need to film some dramas. You sell me the copyright, and I'll ask her to be the female lead, as a way of repaying her favor."

Fu Yishu did not object: "Mm."

"Then leave it to me."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Su Mei said with dissatisfaction, "She did it on purpose. The film and television project was supposed to be 'To My Beloved,' but her original wish was to be the female lead in 'If Love Is a Dream.' Now, she suddenly changes her mind. That's unethical."

Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips and said, "Alright, didn't I just say that she accompanied Fourteenth Brother through the initial ordinariness, so let's fulfill her dream. Of course, if she wants to push her luck, we'll talk about it later."

Su Mei muttered to herself, still feeling uncomfortable: "She's not the only one who's been with Fu Shisi all this time, and I haven't seen any other readers using past friendships to morally blackmail me, humph."

Tang Yaoyao knew that she was protective of her own, but as the president of Chengyu Media, Shang Jie's wish was something she could accomplish with just a flick of her finger.

There's no need to ruin things; after all, she's one of Fourteen Brother's readers.

Tang Yaoyao made the official announcement at midnight that night.
