That afternoon, Su Qianqian returned to her apartment in the Cloud Top. Sunlight streamed lazily through the sheer curtains, spilling onto the soft carpet. She changed into a comfortable light blue sundress, barefoot, and curled up on the single sofa by the window. Although Su Qianqian had searched for information about the Gu family online, her understanding was still incomplete, so 007 was giving her a crash course. The economy and technology of this small world far surpassed her previous life. Country S was a true world superpower. These top conglomerates, led by the Gu family, had already penetrated the global industrial chain, harboring ambitious plans. Su Qianqian sighed slightly; these people standing on the clouds were truly brilliant, with long-term vision. "Being a good actress is also impressive," she muttered softly, as if encouraging herself. She wasn't as smart as them, nor did she have that ambition. For now, she just wanted to act well and walk her own path steadily. Suddenly, her phone chimed, interrupting 007's explanation. It was a formal email from Director Li Mo. [Ms. Su Qianqian, the production team of "The Chaos of War" officially invites you to play the second female lead, Lin Wan. We look forward to working with you!] Meanwhile, Director Li Mo sent her several messages after adding her on WeChat. Su Qianqian opened them: 【Qianqian, did you receive the email? The role of Lin Wan is yours.】 【However, there's something I need to tell you beforehand.】 【The crew is in a very difficult situation right now.】 【Those two scoundrels suddenly got into trouble, most of the investors ran away, the funding chain is about to break, and half the crew has fallen apart.】 【Qin Lang and Chen Jing are still hesitating.】 【I know this is very risky for newcomers, but I, Li Mo, assure you, as long as this film can be made, I'll do everything I can to make it a good film.】 【You've read the script too; it's still worth the gamble.】 After reading the messages, Su Qianqian's delicate brows furrowed slightly. In short: no money, no manpower, and public pressure. She knew better than Li Mo what had happened to those who had suddenly gotten into trouble. Not only the executive producer and assistant director, but everyone present that night hadn't escaped Gu Chengyu's purge. However, those two were particularly notorious; a simple investigation, coupled with pressure from the Gu family, would likely result in them being shot. Su Qianqian put down her phone, her face scrunched up. Acting? Of course she wanted to act. But how could she film with an empty production crew? Her gaze unconsciously swept across the bedside table, and Su Qianqian suddenly remembered something. She walked barefoot over and pulled open the bottom drawer. Inside lay a black card. The moment her fingertips touched the card, Su Qianqian's ears turned a faint red. She remembered that day in the bathroom, his wanton assault. In her rage, she hadn't held onto the card. That night, she was too exhausted to remember. The next day, when she opened her eyes, the card was on the bedside table. It contained 10 billion. The value of S country's currency was roughly the same as in her previous life; this amount was astronomical. Taking out 100 million, or even several hundred million, to invest in "The Chaos of War" would certainly be enough. But, was money alone sufficient? Su Qianqian bit her lower lip in distress. A TV series can't be made simply by throwing money at it. Investors bring more than just money; they bring connections and resources. For example, a top-notch production team, and even the connections needed to get a show approved by censors… Su Qianqian clenched the black card, her lips pouting slightly in grievance. She didn't want to worry about things she didn't like. She just wanted to focus on her role, pondering every line and every glance. As for other professional matters, she'd leave them to the professionals. Su Qianqian made up her mind, gripping the card, standing up, her bare feet stepping onto the soft carpet, first walking to the armchair to put on her slippers. Then she turned and walked towards the living room, deciding to wait for that professional to come home, and then give him a little sweet talk.
