"Yes, luckily your sister is popular," Wen Yan said with a smile. "Wanwan is a rare and wonderful friend, and I will definitely cherish our friendship!"
"Yes. She did help a lot in taking over the Fu family business this time. Without her, the acquisition wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Actually, she could have taken over the Fu family business on her own. But because you're a member of the Shen family, she gave it up. Have you told her about your plans to make a movie?"
"I haven't had a chance yet. I should talk to her when she's less busy. Why are you asking about this?"
"She really is thinking of you. Before we took down the Fu family, she suggested that after we acquired Fu's Entertainment, she hoped you could manage it. She's only cooperating with me because of you. We're benefiting from your success this time. I'll treat her to dinner later, and you can come too."
"Okay!" Wen Yan already knew from reading the novel that Jiang Wanwan was such a protective person.
Those who treat her sincerely will receive her sincere treatment in return.
"Then, brother, I won't chat with you any longer. I'll call Wanwan and see. You should get some rest too, don't overwork yourself."
"The same to you."
After ending her call with Shen Jingxiu, Wen Yan immediately dialed Jiang Wanwan's phone number.
The call was answered quickly, but it was Jiang Wanwan's assistant who spoke; she was currently filming.
Since the conversation didn't go through, Wen Yan had to give up; she had another engagement to attend.
This is also her last job recently. Although she has received many offers in the past two days, she has decided to put it off for the time being because she needs to prepare for the story of her new movie.
Since Qin Yulong was busy with company matters during this period, Wen Yan simply took a break for herself.
She initially wanted to meet with Jiang Wanwan, but Jiang Wanwan had been too busy these past few days, and they only chatted briefly on WeChat before ending the conversation.
Wen Yan simply made several trips to Xu Jie's place.
First, to find inspiration for writing scripts; second, to keep lonely elderly people company.
However, after a few times, Wen Yan realized that she was overthinking things.
She thought Xu Jie would be lonely living alone, but after these two visits, she discovered that Xu Jie was not alone.
One time was when he was playing chess with a fierce-looking man he had met once before, and the other time was when he was playing cards with his former comrades.
In short, Xu Jie's daily life was more fulfilling and interesting than she had imagined.
This also brought Wen Yan new inspiration.
She initially thought the story was full of regret and tragedy, but now she doesn't think so. She hopes the overall atmosphere of the script will lean towards a lighthearted tone.
After determining the style and basic framework, Wen Yan took out her keyboard and got to work.
However, she had only written the beginning when she received a call from Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan asked her to meet.
Since Jiang Wanwan had some free time, Wen Yan immediately agreed.
Just as I was pondering where to meet and what to eat, Jiang Wanwan on the other end of the phone said directly:
"Then I'll come to your house to find you in a bit. You said you were home today, right?"
"Yes, you...do you have something urgent to do?" Although Wen Yan welcomed Jiang Wanwan to her home, it was still a bit strange that she took the initiative to come over.
"Yes. I really have something extremely urgent. Your house is in the same direction as the international airport, and I happen to be going that way. I need to catch a flight in a bit."
"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Wen Yan instinctively felt that it couldn't be work-related.
Jiang Wanwan didn't deny it: "Yes, it's hard to explain over the phone. I'll tell you when we meet."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. How long do you expect to take?"
An hour later.
Jiang Wanwan's car stopped in front of the Shen family villa.
Her agent was driving.
She came in alone.
Seeing Wen Yan, a friend I hadn't seen in a long time, made me very happy: "Wanwan, what would you like to drink? Tea, water, coffee, or a beverage?"
"No," Jiang Wanwan seemed very anxious. "I'm not thirsty. Shall we talk in your room?"
Wen Yan nodded, but still grabbed a bottle of water and took Jiang Wanwan to her room.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Jiang Wanwan frowned slightly: "To be honest, my only relative is seriously ill, and I have to go back as soon as possible."
Jiang Wanwan had told Wen Yan about her background before, so even if she hadn't, Wen Yan would have known.
"Is it your maternal grandfather?"
Although Jiang Wanwan has not yet revealed her maternal grandfather's true identity to Wen Yan, Wen Yan already knows from novels that her maternal grandfather is the king of a certain country.
The illness of a country's king is indeed a very important matter, and with her uncles causing her so much trouble, she will likely stay there for a long time this time.
“Yes,” Jiang Wanwan nodded, “My grandfather hasn’t been feeling well lately, so I have to leave right away. Before I go, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”
"Tell me! As long as I can do it, I guarantee I'll do my best for you."
“You definitely have the ability!” Jiang Wanwan continued, “It’s a drama that I just started filming. I might be gone for several months or even longer. I don’t know exactly how long it will be.”
“The production team can’t wait for me. Of course, I can also pay compensation to break the contract, but I have a relationship with that producer, and this show is also very important to him. I’m afraid that my withdrawal will have a negative impact on his entire project.”
"The production has already started filming, and it's going to be very difficult for them to find a suitable replacement at this point. Besides, I don't think just anyone could play this role well. But I think you can, so I'd like to ask you to step in and save the day!"
