"Captain Fang, is it convenient for us to talk?"
"Wait a moment." Footsteps came through the receiver, and after a while, Fang Heng's voice came through again: "Sister Lu, what is it?"
Gan Tang asked, "Captain Fang, do you know the big star Lin Shuang?"
Laughter came through the microphone, his flirtatious nature unchanged: "What, is Sister Lu going to introduce me to a girlfriend?"
“Then I know.” Gan Tang said directly, “I saw a scandal about her three years ago, saying that she seduced a director to get a role and that bed photos and videos were leaked. She was so criticized that she almost left the industry, but it was later proven to be false. Could you help me look into this matter, the more detailed the better.”
Fang Heng said, feeling wronged, "Sister Lu, our relationship isn't close enough for me to be at your beck and call, is it?"
Gan Tang was blunt: "You dared to take me to your teacher's house, so what's wrong with me asking you for a favor?" Actually, she had never understood why he would take her to a private place, given his cautious nature as a professional.
Fang Heng thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "Okay, I'll check for you. But I'm busy lately, so I can't guarantee how quickly it will be done."
"Thank you!" Gan Tang reminded him, "Investigate privately, don't let anyone find out, and don't tell Mo Huaixing."
"Without Sister Lu, how would I know who he is?" Fang Heng corrected Gan Tang.
That evening, Gan Tang returned to Qinglong Bay. Now, she was less wary of Lu Zhengqian; she always felt that as long as her and Mo Huaixing's identities remained hidden, he would unconditionally tolerate her.
So, she video-chatted with Mo Huaixing in her room and told him about the message Lin Shuang had given her, asking him, "Does this affect you?"
"There are some, of course, but it's nothing serious." Mo Huaixing in the video hesitated noticeably for a moment: "How could Big Brother possibly collude with Fourth Master?"
"Who told you to offend him?" Gan Tang didn't dare mention Lin Shuang's matter, and reminded her with a smile, "So now, you have to be nice to me. No, you can only be nice to me."
Mo Huaixing laughed. However, he had no intention of letting her off the hook, and asked, "Where did you get this information?"
"It's none of your business. Besides, you haven't reported to me what you've been doing all these days." She's forced to ask Zhang Po for every piece of information; he doesn't act like a boss at all.
"be safe."
Amidst her slightly complaining, crisp voice, came his deep, admonishing tone. She had always thought he was terrible at coaxing people, but when he said these routine, polite words, they sounded exceptionally sweet, like long-lost love words, lingering and melodious, stirring a tingling sensation in her heart.
Gan Tang was immediately overwhelmed and hurriedly said, "I have something to do, I'm hanging up," before hanging up the phone.
Mo Huaixing wouldn't let it go, and asked curiously, "What's the matter so late at night?"
Gan Tang looked dejected and aggrieved: "I was helping someone find a partner."
While Mo Huaixing was still in shock, Gan Tang hung up the phone in time.
Introducing someone to a potential partner sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult—no, far more difficult than climbing to the heavens. Gan Tang racked her brains but had no clue what to do. Her only result was a noticeable increase in the amount of hair in the trash can.
Why is this so difficult?
At the Lu Group, Gan Tang pushed open the door to the general manager's office and entered.
"Why are you here again?" Fu Cheng's expression was like a mouse seeing a cat. These past few days, the girl in front of him had been sticking to him like a leech, driving him crazy.
Gan Tang peeked out and saw that he seemed to have a book tucked under his sleeve. She tried to make conversation: "What are you hiding for? Reading some dirty book?"
After saying that, Gan Tang quickly covered her mouth. She swore that she really didn't mean it, but these past few days her mind had been filled with his and Lin Shuang's lewd talk, and she slipped up.
However, what's done is done.
Fu Cheng took the script out from under his sleeve, threw it on the corner of his desk, and awkwardly corrected himself: "A TV drama script, a recent investment project, just take a look."
I'm sorry.
Could it be the script Lin Shuang has? Gan Tang peeked over again and saw the script's title: Ode to Mountains and Rivers.
When did you become interested in film and television projects?
Fu Cheng impatiently threw a folder on top to cover it: "I'm working. If Director Lu has nothing else, you can leave!"
"I have something to do!" Gan Tang pointed to the folder she was holding. "I need to report on last month's work results to the general manager."
After saying that, he unceremoniously moved a chair over and sat down opposite him.
Fu Cheng said helplessly, "Then you tell me!"
Gan Tang opened the folder and realized that she hadn't even looked at last month's work summary yet. She said awkwardly, "Why don't you wait a moment, let me go through it first?"
"No need!" Fu Cheng made a point of clearing a space for them, politely urging them to leave: "Please put it down, I'll look at it myself."
That won't do. What if we're not watching him closely enough and he runs off to find Lin Shuang?
Gan Tang closed the folder, placed it on the desktop, and asked with a smile, "When will you finish work? Let's go see a movie."
Fu Cheng couldn't hold back any longer at this suggestion, gesturing wildly back and forth, speechless as he said, "You, come with me, to see a movie?"
"Haha, it seems a bit inappropriate." Gan Tang was so embarrassed that she was practically digging her toes into the ground. Fortunately, a savior appeared at this moment, and Zhou Shan knocked on the door and entered.
"President Cheng, the producer of 'Ode to Mountains and Rivers'..."
Fu Cheng raised his hand to stop Zhou Shan, but seeing that the young lady in front of him was sitting steadily and showed no intention of leaving, he got up and left.
Gan Tang immediately stood up alertly. "Where are you going?"
"Meeting!"
“Then I’ll go too!” Gan Tang said assertively, giving an even more compelling reason: “Dad said that I’m currently in a learning state, so I can audit any project.”
Fu Cheng sat down helplessly and gave Zhou Shan a look, "You continue."
Zhou Shan understood, skipped over the characters, and got straight to the point: "The producer specifically called and asked me to ask you if it's okay to give our actress the second female lead role?"
Fu Cheng's face darkened: "Wasn't it agreed that the female lead would be the lead actress?"
Zhou Shan explained, "The producer agreed, but the director didn't. The key issue is that our people hadn't even gone for the interview yesterday. The director already didn't want to use popular celebrities, and now he's even angrier. I heard from the crew that he got into a fight with the producer on the phone, saying things like, 'It's either her or me.'"
"Why didn't you go?" But Fu Cheng didn't have time to think about it now, and said angrily, "Then change the director."
"Look at you, so capable." Gan Tang scoffed twice, casually closing the script she had taken from the table. Pointing at the director's name, she said sarcastically, "This is a big director. Do you think he's one of those small directors you can just replace whenever you want?"
At this point, Gan Tang gave a thumbs up, "If you can be replaced, congratulations! You've spent money to produce a terrible movie. No wonder there are so many terrible movies on the market; they're all made by brain-dead investors like you."
