Ye Zi paused for a moment when she saw the person opposite her take off their mask, then exclaimed in surprise:

"Brother Wu Jing, what are you doing here?"

Wu Jing smiled and called out to the people behind Ye Zi:

"Sorry everyone, I startled you. We haven't seen each other for a while, it was just a joke."

Ye Zi turned his head. He had come back from outside, and there were many people behind him, including not only the actors and guests staying here, but also people from the hotel's security system.

Because the two men suddenly attacked each other and it didn't last long, everyone just watched and didn't have time to call the police.

Seeing that it was just playful banter between friends and not a real fight, the person who was about to call the police put down their phone.

Wu Jing's companion also took off his mask, revealing himself to be his wife, and Tongtong also removed her disguise.

"Sister-in-law." x2

Sister Nan responded with a smile:

"Ye Zi, Tong Tong, hello." As she spoke, she pinched Wu Jing's waist.

Wu Jing grimaced in pain, but let his wife torment him.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the onlookers went about their business. Wu Jing was freed from his wife's grasp and hugged Ye Zi.

Ye Zi continued to ask:

"Brother Whale, what are you doing here?"

"I'm an actor, is there anything wrong with me coming to the filming base?" Wu Jing jokingly replied.

Ye Zi scratched her head and said:

"I've never heard of you working here."

Tongtong also looked puzzled. Their film crew had been working for more than a month, and she hadn't heard that Wu Jing was here.

Sister Nan rolled her eyes at Wu Jing and said:

"Keep acting. You've given yourself away. Tongtong works here, how could she not know you were here?"

Wu Jing grinned and said:

"We arrived yesterday; we have some business to discuss."

Ye Zi nodded, and then said:

"Shall we go upstairs and have a seat?"

Wu Jing thought for a moment, then said:

"Let's not go up there. Let's go out and find a place to have a drink."

“Okay,” Ye Zi immediately agreed.

The four of them went out, found a barbecue restaurant, booked a private room, ordered a bunch of food, and sat down to chat.

During their casual conversation, Ye Zi suddenly remembered that Huang Jingyu had told him that Wu Jing was currently filming abroad, but he hadn't heard anything about him returning.

"Brother Whale, I remember you were filming abroad, why are you suddenly back?"

Wu Jing paused for a moment, then laughed:

"The film crew has temporarily stopped working. I have something to take care of back here, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done."

What could make you put aside your hard work and willingly become a frequent flyer?

"Hey, this is important to me, but it's irrelevant to other people, so let's not talk about it."

Ye Zi nodded. Since Wu Jing was unwilling to talk about it, he wouldn't ask any more questions. He would just treat it as a gathering of old friends.

After chatting about everything under the sun, four cases of empty beer bottles appeared in the private room.

The next morning, when Ye Zi woke up, Tong Tong had already gone to the film set.

After getting up and eating something, Yezi strolled over to the film set again, because staying in the hotel was too boring.

Thinking of Wu Jing on the way, Ye Zi took out her phone and sent a video call to Huang Jingyu.

A yellow whale appeared on the screen, yawning, and asked:

"What are you doing?"

Ye Zi smiled and said:

“I ran into Brother Whale last night. He said he had something to do back in China, but he wouldn’t tell me. I’m asking you for details.”

"Oh, you ran into Brother Whale? I know that. The filming isn't finished yet, and we're short on funds, so Brother Whale went back to find investors."

"Not enough money? Brother Whale's last movie was a box office hit, how could he not have money?"

"It's true that the box office was a huge success, but the expenses were also high, and so much time has passed. The cost of filming abroad this time far exceeded the budget, so we didn't have enough money."

How do you know so much?

"I am the entertainment industry know-it-all. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The two chatted for a while, then the video call ended. Huang Jingyu yawned repeatedly and went back to sleep.

Others may not know, but Ye Zi does. Both of Wu Jing's films were box office hits. If you invest now, you're guaranteed to make money.

They were almost at the filming location. Ye Zi turned around and walked back. He hadn't told Tong Tong to send someone to pick him up, which saved him the trouble.

I called Wu Jing on the way.

Are you up yet?

"I'm up, getting ready to return to the capital."

"Are you back to attract investment?"

Wu Jing paused for a moment, then smiled wryly:

"You found out?"

"Where are you? I'll come find you, and we can talk about investments."

"You've struck it rich?" Wu Jing asked in surprise.

"A little money."

Wu Jing gave him an address, and Ye Zi told him to wait.

Because she strolled out, it took Ye Zi almost an hour to get to the hotel where Wu Jing was staying.

After meeting, Wu Jing smiled and said:

"Have you struck it rich lately, kid?"

Ye Zi winked and said:

"I recently went out and made a small fortune. If it had been a month earlier, I really wouldn't have been able to do it."

"Alright, how many hundred are you planning to invest?"

Ye Zi paused for a moment and said:

"You're only short a few million?"

Wu Jing smiled wryly:

"How could that be? Adding a zero would be more like it."

Then, in surprise, he said:

"Could it be that you made tens of millions in one trip?"

"Over ten million, US dollars."

Wu Jing paused for a moment and said:

"You went to rob a bank in the Bald Eagle's territory?"

“If someone is a law-abiding citizen, how could they possibly do something illegal or disorderly?”

"I didn't say you broke the law or committed any illegal acts in the country."

Ye Zi had an expression that said, "I'm a law-abiding citizen."

"What kind of job is it? Can you mentor me? If I do two trips and film a movie, I won't have to go through all the trouble of raising investment."

Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Wu Jing and said:

"Stop joking around, let's get down to business. How much funding are you short?"

"Three or four million, I guess."

"That's not much. With your status, you could just ask for it, wouldn't you?"

"US dollars," Wu Jing calmly uttered.

Ye Zi secretly calculated for a moment and said:

"That's only twenty or thirty million, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Sister Nan said:

"It's not difficult, and there are quite a few people willing to invest, but the profit sharing they want is too high, so we couldn't reach an agreement."

"So what are you planning to do next?" Ye Zi asked casually.

“Go back to the capital, mortgage your assets, and continue bidding.”

"That's too much trouble, I'll invest 40 million."

"Are you serious?" Wu Jing asked earnestly.

"Of course, I believe your film will still be a box office hit."

How much do you want?

"How much do you mean?" Ye Zi asked, puzzled.

"How much profit do you want?"

Ye Zi was embarrassed. This was his first time making an investment, and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. He knew nothing about it.

"I don't understand," Ye Zi admitted.

"You dare to invest forty million without understanding this?"

Ye Zi understood the importance of speaking eloquently and opened her mouth to say:

"It's just you; I don't get involved with anyone else."

The couple's eyes flickered, clearly showing a hint of emotion.

"Stop being so wishy-washy, sister-in-law, give me an account number and I'll transfer the money to you right now. If you need cash, I have some too, and it's in US dollars."

"US dollars are fine too, I want US dollars, so I don't have to exchange them," Wu Jing said.

"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go get the money." Ye Zi said, then got up and left.
