Jiang Ran answered the phone: "Hello...who is this?"
"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and repeated, "Who is it?"
"Beep beep..."
The call was disconnected.
? ?
Jiang Ran put down her phone in frustration. Jiang Huaijing, seeing this, asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Who called?"
"I don't know, it's an unfamiliar number, maybe it was dialed by mistake."
It was late at night, and the moonlight flickered under the cover of dark clouds.
Before the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the man's tall figure was reflected on the ground, half of his body illuminated by the moonlight, while the other half disappeared into endless darkness.
The moonlight blurred his outline, but his deep, ancient eyes shone faintly in the darkness.
Looking at the number on his phone screen, the corners of his handsome lips curled up slightly.
It was already 2 a.m. when Jiang Minghui and Jiang Xinrou returned home after celebrating, but they were still full of energy from the immense joy they had experienced.
Seeing that the two of them looked radiant and had returned so late, Shen Qingwan couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why are you so happy?"
Jiang Minghui was somewhat carried away by his success. In his view, he had already achieved great success and that the Jiang family would soon be able to firmly establish itself as the industry leader.
So from now on, he no longer needs to care about the Shen family, no longer needs to pretend in front of Shen Qingwan, and can finally hold his head high.
He has already done more than enough by not kicking Shen Qingwan out.
He gave her a cold look and said disdainfully, "What's the use of telling you? You don't understand any of this."
Shen Qingwan frowned deeply: "What's wrong with me asking?"
Jiang Minghui snorted coldly, his tone even more impatient: "What's wrong with me saying something? Can't I say something to you?"
With such a joyous occasion happening today, he's gotten a bit cocky. Plus, in his excitement, he had a few drinks at the company, and now he's completely letting his guard down.
The more he looked at Shen Qingwan, the angrier he became. Every time he saw her, he was reminded of how he used to be subservient to those two old men in the Shen family, and a strong sense of humiliation welled up in his heart.
Jiang Minghui, with a cold face, shoved Shen Qingwan, who was blocking his way, and shouted, "Get out of my way, don't spoil my fun!"
Shen Qingwan stared in shock. How dare he speak to her in such a tone?
Jiang Xinrou also bypassed Shen Qingwan and quickly caught up with Jiang Minghui, her tone filled with undisguised excitement.
"Dad! You are so amazing and have such foresight! With your excellent judgment, the future of the Jiang family is bright under your leadership!"
"Hahahaha." Jiang Minghui laughed a few times and pulled Jiang Xinrou toward the study: "Come on, let's plan the celebration banquet properly."
"Dad! Shouldn't we invite all the actors to the wrap party?"
"Of course!"
"Then I'll dress up nicely tomorrow, I can't embarrass Dad!"
Jiang Minghui looked at her, his eyes filled with admiration: "My daughter is of course the most outstanding!"
"Dad is the best too!"
Jiang Xinrou couldn't help but pick up her tablet again to check the real-time data of "The First Shot," and the more she looked, the happier she became.
"Dad, look, it's already 2 a.m., and the online discussion about 'The First Shot' is still going strong!"
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon a somewhat familiar name.
"Thousands of Snowflakes"?
She then glanced at the data for "Thousands of Snowflakes" and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Dad, look! Isn't this 'Thousand Silk Snow' the one Jiang Ran mentioned before? She even said it would definitely be a huge hit this year. Hahahaha, the premiere only got 4,800 views, which isn't even as high as the trailer for our 'First Shot'. It's hilarious!"
Seeing this, Jiang Minghui glanced at the screen, his face full of disdain: "Hmph, what does that brat know? She still dares to say those things. She's just like her mother, inexplicably confident, and annoying."
"Exactly, who does she think she is? Only someone of her low social standing would think that a flop like 'Thousands of Snow' would be a hit."
Jiang Minghui leaned back leisurely on the sofa, raising his eyebrows contemptuously: "Luckily, Dad had the foresight not to listen to her and buy this kind of worthless junk."
Jiang Xinrou smiled sweetly, walked to the sofa and sat down next to Jiang Minghui, hugging his arm and saying coquettishly, "Dad, how's that promise you made to help me teach Xia Shiwen a lesson?"
"Don't worry, Dad has already made the arrangements. Just wait for the good news."
Jiang Xinrou received a satisfactory answer, and her smile deepened.
Today is truly a good day! "The First Shot" is a huge hit, and that annoying Xia Shiwen is about to get her lesson. It's so satisfying!
With the explosive popularity of "The First Shot", she will reap a lot of benefits.
She played the female lead in her youth, and her role was no less significant than that of the adult female lead. It's only because the actress playing the adult female lead is a movie star who condescended to act in a TV series that her name would be listed at the top.
Hmph! So what if Jiang Ran, that bitch, framed her and got criticized by netizens the other day?
Now that she has a hit drama in hand, can't she attract fans just by lying down?
Not to mention that after a hit drama, countless business and film and television resources will come knocking on her door. She can choose whichever she wants then.
Hahaha, Jiang Ran must be furious right now, right?
She loves seeing her looking both angry and helpless; it must be hilarious.
"Xinrou, your father has made a decision. All the promotional activities for 'The First Shot' will be done with you and the male lead."
