Tang Yilan walked in with a smile.
She still wore the same all-black outfit as always: vest, leather pants, and boots. Paired with her clean and pretty face, she exuded a heroic aura.
Jiang Can felt that her complexion was much better than before.
Could it really be the magic of love?
Tang Yilan placed the documents on her desk and playfully gestured for her to proceed.
"This is the final budget for the film's production cost... In short, it's a jumble of accounts that I can't understand. Could you please take a look at it for me, Third Young Mistress, who is always discerning?"
Jiang Can reluctantly put down the half-finished cup of hot water, stretched, and returned to her desk to continue working.
Before long, she sorted out the accounts, circled a few places in red pen, and then handed the documents back to Tang Yilan.
"So fast?"
"Because I did my homework beforehand, it was relatively quick," Jiang Can said succinctly. "The areas I marked are areas where costs can be saved, and there are a few unnecessary expenses that I've already checked off for you. Your next task is to go to the finance department and have them do a special accounting for you."
"You're really something!" Tang Yilan exclaimed in admiration. "They say a good woman brings prosperity to three generations, and with a mistress like you in the Huo family, prosperity will last for more than ten generations!"
"Pfft!" Huo Zhixin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jiang Can pursed her lips and chuckled, "Director Tang, you flatter me! Oh, and there's one more thing I need to remind you. This film is aiming for awards, and the company is taking it very seriously. Director Tang, you'll have to work extra hard to ensure the actors are properly selected!"
"Yes, don't worry about that." Tang Yilan nodded. "This movie is also my hard work, so of course I have to give it my all. Speaking of the actors..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Tang Yilan said with a wry smile. "I replaced Cheng Xuerou."
Jiang Can was taken aback.
She seemed to have heard about the casting change a few days ago, but the news disappeared from the internet shortly after it appeared.
She thought it was just hearsay.
I didn't expect it to be true.
Moreover, the suppression of the news was probably the work of Yufeng Media's public relations department.
“Yilan…” Jiang Can knew that she must have felt conflicted about making this decision, after all, Cheng Xuerou was once the apple of Ye Chen’s eye.
but……
Jiang Can smiled, looking at her with a firm gaze, and said with a smile, "You did the right thing!"
"Hmm?" Tang Yilan was somewhat surprised.
“Can Can, actually I…” she explained, “I was really worried you’d scold me. We’ve already filmed more than half of the scenes, and replacing someone at this point would cause a huge loss! The company’s money doesn’t grow on trees, and I really feel guilty about this situation, but…”
“But what we’re pursuing is film quality,” Jiang Can stood up and put his hands on her shoulders. “If Cheng Xuerou really doesn’t meet our requirements, then we’d rather lose some money than let down the audience or the market!”
Tang Yilan looked at her gratefully.
“And another thing,” Jiang Can chuckled, “you don’t need to care about someone’s opinion anymore.”
Tang Yilan bit her lip and remained silent.
Jiang Can thought she had made a good move, which showed that she had let go of Ye Chen and was starting to embrace her new life.
She no longer needs to be mature and sensible, nor does she need to cater to other people's wishes.
All she has to do is be herself.
“Hey,” Jiang Can nudged her with his shoulder, “Tell me the truth, what gave you the courage to make this decision, was it…”
"It's not Nie Xin!" Tang Yilan answered first.
Jiang Can and Huo Zhixin were both stunned, then secretly laughed at the same time.
Tang Yilan blushed, looked at the two helplessly, stomped her foot, and quickly ran out.
Jiang Can chuckled and shook her head.
I wonder how things will develop in the future.
Ye Chen is excellent, but Nie Xin is equally outstanding, and he's her cousin. She really wants to cast her vote for him.
However, in Tang Yilan's heart, Ye Chen's position is probably unshakeable.
A woman will always remember her first man.
Just like her feelings for Huo Zhixing... After having Huo Zhixing, she felt that no man in the world could compare to her husband.
Jiang Can blushed slightly and quickly stopped these wild thoughts.
Just as he was about to get back to work, he suddenly noticed that Huo Zhixin was holding her phone and trembling slightly. Her delicate face was no longer warm, and she looked terrified.
"Zhi Xin?" Jiang Can rushed over. "What's wrong?"
But when she placed her hand on Huo Zhixin's shoulder, Huo Zhixin seemed to be startled and shrank back, letting out a soft cry.
Jiang Can frowned slightly.
Huo Zhixin's face turned pale, and she hesitated, clutching her phone, unsure whether to show it to her.
"Who sent the message?" Jiang Can tried to communicate with her. "Let your sister see it, okay?"
"I……"
Jiang Can decisively took the phone.
There was nothing else on the screen except for an anonymous message—
How are you? I miss you so much.
Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat!
She has received similar messages before, and more than once.
Huo Zhixin became agitated. Her voice trembled as she stammered, "It's...it's Yin Shaoqing, it must be him! Has he come back again?"
Jiang Can hugged her and gently comforted her, "Zhixin, don't be afraid. With your sister here, he won't dare to do anything to you!"
"Sister, please don't tell my brother... I'm afraid he'll scold me!"
"No, no, don't overthink it."
Jiang Can's expression darkened. He first had the driver take Huo Zhixin home, then handed over the less important matters to Manager Hao, and then called Huo Zhixing to tell him to come home immediately.
