Du Yuanzhe looked at You Yingxue and Wang Lianxuan, and felt that the two were secretly connected. He said to Wei Lingling, "Don't talk to Director Zuo at the reception. It's best to avoid him."
Wei Lingling nodded: "That's what I had planned."
In the entertainment industry, anything can happen. Even those who have signed a contract can break it, let alone someone like her who hasn't signed a contract yet.
Wei Lingling glanced at his watch and asked, "Have you signed the endorsement?"
Du Yuanzhe was surprised: "You are so sharp-eyed?"
Wei Lingling smiled and said, "What a coincidence! The previous spokesperson for this watch was from our company. I heard two days ago that he did not renew his contract. Besides, when has your young master ever worn a watch of this price?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "The contract has been signed. We will take promotional photos in two days."
"That's amazing! I've been in this industry for so long, but I only have three first-tier endorsements. You're going to surpass me after just one drama."
Du Yuanzhe rolled his eyes: "Friendly reminder: we are classmates and entered the entertainment industry together."
Wei Lingling suddenly realized: "Yes, but why do I always feel like I am your senior?"
"Give yourself less credit for your elders."
Wei Lingling looked at him with a sly smile: "I remember that President Xia is older than you."
Du Yuanzhe said: "It's only a few months."
"You can call her sister, too. Has she ever let you call her that?"
"no!"
Wei Lingling gave him some advice: "If you need help from her, you can call her sister. I have a feeling it will be successful."
Du Yuanzhe glanced at her: "Have you experienced it yourself?"
He has seen a lot of interactions between the male and female protagonists.
Wei Lingling looked a little unnatural, and she coughed dryly, "This is a method anyway, you can try it later."
"No way!"
If Du Yuanzhe didn't think she was useful, Xia Ningmi would never refuse his request.
Wei Lingling said: "The face is meant to be hit."
Du Yuanzhe sneered: "That's you."
Wei Lingling glared and was about to retort, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Jiang Chelin approaching. Her brows furrowed and her good mood disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Chelin saw the change in Wei Lingling's expression, his eyes darkened, and he turned to look at Du Yuanzhe: "What are you doing here?"
Du Yuanzhe said unhappily, "Your company sent me an invitation, why are you asking me to come here?"
Jiang Chelin certainly didn't know that his subordinates had sent an invitation to Du Yuanzhe, otherwise he would have stopped it. Although the two of them hadn't had any conflicts recently, he still disliked Du Yuanzhe, and he disliked him even more when he talked and laughed with Wei Lingling but he couldn't get a smile from her.
Jiang Chelin: "Lingling, the company has decided to invest in a TV series adapted from a popular novel. I think the female lead is very suitable for you."
Wei Lingling looked at him: "So, you want me to get back together with you, and then you give me the heroine?"
Jiang Chelin shook his head: "I'm not trying to seduce you with this. I know you like acting. You've never played this kind of role before. I just thought you would like it."
Wei Lingling said: "If I want, I will go for the audition myself, and President Jiang doesn't need to worry about it."
Jiang Chelin frowned, but said nothing more.
Du Yuanzhe could see that Jiang Chelin's attitude in front of Wei Lingling had improved a lot, and the annoying dominance in him had disappeared.
He laughed secretly, some people are just mean, they don't correct themselves until they lose something.
Du Yuanzhe reminded: "Your grandfather is here."
Jiang Chelin: "I know that Wang Linxuan was afraid that I would deal with her, so she deliberately dragged Grandpa out. Grandpa might have known something, so he just told me to be more tolerant of Wang Linxuan."
If he wasn't well-mannered, he would have burst into swearing. He wished Wang Linxuan would disappear, and he still wanted him to be tolerant?
What a grandfather he is, he only knows how to cheat his grandson.
Du Yuanzhe frowned: "Why on earth does General Secretary Jiang tolerate Wang Lianxuan so much?"
Jiang Chelin looked at Wei Lingling and explained, "Grandpa was on a trip abroad before and got frightened and had a heart attack. It was Wang Linxuan who rushed him to the hospital in time and saved his life."
Du Yuanzhe's eyes narrowed.
He knew that Master Jiang had a heart disease. In the novel, Master Jiang also disliked Wei Lingling. Even after the two of them officially announced their relationship, Master Jiang still did not give up and introduced other women to Jiang Chelin.
In the end, it was Wei Lingling who saved the ill Grandpa Jiang. In recognition of her life-saving grace, Grandpa Jiang accepted Wei Lingling.
Wang Lianxuan is stealing the heroine's plot!
Not only did she become Mr. Jiang's savior, she should have also successfully robbed the heroine of some of her luck. This matter is related to whether the heroine can be recognized by Mr. Jiang, and there should be a lot of luck involved.
It really kills two birds with one stone!
Luck plundering system: Having luck is like a fish in water, and you must never let the other side succeed.
Jiang Chelin noticed that he looked strange and asked, "What did you think of?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Wang Linxuan is not such a kind person."
Jiang Chelin said: "She should have recognized Grandpa. Grandpa once went to school to look for me. But no matter what, it is a fact that she saved Grandpa. Grandpa acknowledged her life-saving grace. For now, I can only warn her."
Wei Lingling pursed her lips and said, "There's no need for you to be upset with your grandfather because of me. After all, he raised you."
Jiang Chelin's parents were a business marriage, and after successfully completing the task of continuing the family line, they completely let go and had fun on their own, traveling all over the country every year. After all, they had no worries about food and drink as they received the dividends from the family.
Jiang Chelin was thrown into the old house since he was born. He had seen his parents only a few times since he was a child. Grandpa Jiang carried all his family love.
Jiang Chelin looked at her and said, "I'm not going to commit a crime. Can I just sit there and watch Wang Linxuan do something bad to you? I promised your mother to take good care of you, and I don't want to break my promise to my aunt."
Wei Lingling's eyes flickered and she looked away.
Du Yuanzhe suddenly felt that he had become very bright, and he shrugged and walked away from the two people. He didn't want to eat dog food.
He walked to the food area, picked up some food and put it on a plate, and ate the food on the plate while looking at the people at the party.
After a while, Xu Cheng came over and picked up a plate of food like him.
Xu Cheng said: "Remember to free up some time in the second half of the year."
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "I have heard from Brother Liu, when does Director Xu plan to start filming?"
"There are a few scenes that have not yet been discussed. Let me think about it carefully before we discuss them."
He took quite a while to think over what he had heard.
No wonder this guy is so slow, setting up a scene takes a long time to consider.
Du Yuanzhe couldn't accuse him of being too serious, so he just said, "I'll wait for Director Xu's news."
Xu Cheng looked around and said with regret, "I thought I could run into your CEO Xia, but she's on a business trip. I wouldn't have come if I had known."
Du Yuanzhe's eyes darkened: "I heard that Director Xu is always surrounded by female companions."
Xu Cheng turned his head and looked at him: "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. This should be my freedom."
Du Yuanzhe said calmly: "Director Xu is not afraid of being thrown out by the company's security, so you can give it a try."
Xu Cheng touched his chin and said, "You are right. Your company is too dangerous. It is safer to go to the party."
Du Yuanzhe frowned: "What does Director Xu want to do?"
"I just want to invite President Xia to dinner."
Du Yuanzhe: "Director Xu will probably be disappointed. President Xia doesn't like people who are chaotic in private."
"Where there is a will there is a way. I'll try a few more times. What if I can impress Mr. Xia one day? It's just a matter of inviting him. It won't take much effort for me."
Du Yuanzhe really hated Xu Cheng's tone, which sounded like he was casting a net to catch fish, as if he was very popular.
After Xu Cheng finished the food on his plate, he said meaningfully, "However, this is a matter between Mr. Xia and me after all. Isn't your reaction a bit too much?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "Director Xu and I have different ideas, so I can't help but say a few more words."
Xu Cheng looked at him with a smile: "I think it's more than that."
Du Yuanzhe frowned: "Director Xu, just speak frankly."
"You have a crush on President Xia!"
“Ahem—”
Du Yuanzhe was accidentally choked by saliva.
Xu Cheng said proudly: "I guessed it right."
He patted Du Yuanzhe's shoulder and said, "I hate competing with others for women. If you were to be honest with me earlier, I wouldn't say so much."
Du Yuanzhe's eyes were complicated: "Although, I still don't like the tone of your voice."
Xu Cheng apologized very straightforwardly: "I am a person who has some talent except for making movies. Otherwise, I am just a jerk. It is really bad to say this about your crush in front of you. I apologize to you."
Du Yuanzhe was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't need to apologize to me. It's not me you're apologizing to."
Xu Cheng spread his hands: "I can't see President Xia, and I guess she doesn't want to hear my apology."
Indeed, Xia Ningmi didn't want to see Xu Cheng at all.
Xu Cheng turned around and filled another plate with food, saying, "Besides anything else, the food at the cocktail party is really delicious."
Du Yuanzhe agreed: "It is indeed delicious."
Xu Cheng is a very contradictory person, and he has known this for a long time.
The two of them were just collaborating on a movie, not making friends, so there's no need to take it too seriously.

@云苗: See how Yunmiao @硛玲玲 uses her weak shoulders to support the sky [Photo]
Three days after the anniversary reception of Huanxing Entertainment, Yunmiao’s official Weibo account announced the female lead and attached a recent photo of Wei Lingling. It only took three days from signing the contract to the official announcement, and other roles are still being cast.
No matter how you look at it, this official announcement was very hasty.
But this was Xia Ningmi's request, and the crew couldn't possibly disobey their boss's request, so after signing the contract with Wei Lingling, they immediately announced the female lead through the official Weibo account.
Wei Lingling immediately forwarded the message, and the heroine of "Yun Miao" was finally decided. Countless netizens knew that the heroine was Wei Lingling, and her fans took advantage of this wave of popularity to promote Wei Lingling's past works.
Wei Lingling is not as passive as the original owner. She has filmed many works in the past few years, and her acting skills have been improving visibly. She is no longer as immature as when she just graduated from school. At least the evaluation of having terrible acting skills cannot be applied to her.
Du Family Old House
When Wang Linxuan saw this Weibo post, she was so angry that she almost threw away all the cosmetics on her desk: "What's going on? We put so much effort, but in the end, nothing changed."
[There must be someone helping her behind the scenes. Wei Lingling must have connections that we don't know about. You must find a way to find out, otherwise we will never succeed.]
The Luck Plundering System smelled a familiar scent from this incident. It was almost certain that its old rival had also come to this world, and was probably secretly laughing at it for wasting so much luck.
It didn't tell Wang Lianxuan about this. Wang Lianxuan was just a puppet it chose. She only needed to do things according to its requirements and there was no need for her to know too much.
If it had known that its old rival was also there, it would not have rashly wasted its luck. Changing the fate of the heroine could only fool the people in this world, but not those who knew the script as well as it did.
Who is its chosen host?
This person must be found!
Wang Lianxuan could tell the seriousness of the system and said, "If you want to know who is helping Wei Lingling, you have to find out why Director Zuo agreed to let her audition. But this is an internal matter of Qianying Entertainment, and I don't have the ability to find out about Qianying Entertainment."
[Then start with the director. If the director is difficult to deal with, try to find out information from his assistant.]
The system's tone left no room for doubt, so Wang Lianxuan could only say, "I'll try my best."
The plundering system was very dissatisfied with Wang Linxuan's attitude, but it couldn't leave her now and could only tolerate her for the time being.
Flower Lake Apartment
Du Yuanzhe also saw the official announcement. He was in a good mood and asked the system: "Does this count as winning the Luck Plundering System?"
[Forget it! This is the easiest chance for it to change the heroine's fate. If it misses this opportunity, it will be very difficult for it to plunder the heroine's luck in the future.]
Du Yuanzhe smiled, finally all his efforts were not in vain.
[After this incident, it should have noticed my existence. You must be careful in the future and do not behave in a way that is obviously inconsistent with the original owner.]
Du Yuanzhe said, "I am Du Yuanzhe now. I have been in this world for a year, and everyone has adapted to the current Du Yuanzhe. In the novel, the original owner is just a tool to protect the heroine. As long as I don't suddenly go crazy and deal with Wei Lingling, it shouldn't be able to see anything."
[Having said that, it’s always better to be careful]
"I see."
Du Yuanzhe confirmed again: "According to what you said, when the Luck Plundering System has no luck to use, it will only have the foresight brought by knowing the plot, which is no different from us, right?"
[Yes, it needs to rely on Wang Lianxuan to do anything]
Du Yuanzhe: "Then we will monitor Wang Lianxuan and see if she changes in half a year."
Logically speaking, if the Luck Plundering System does not gain Luck within half a year, it will be destroyed.
But the prerequisite is that Wang Lianxuan will not agree to use her own luck to support it.
Du Yuanzhe frowned. Wang Lianxuan shouldn’t be that stupid, right?
Du Yuanzhe suddenly realized something and asked hurriedly, "If Wang Linxuan is fooled by it and agrees to give it luck, what will happen after it plunders Wang Linxuan's luck?"
Wang Lianxuan would die when her luck ran out, but the luck plundering system at that time clearly did not meet the conditions for destruction.
[It will find a new host]
Boom——
Du Yuanzhe's mind seemed to explode and his eyes were horrified.
"How could this happen?"
If it can drain the host's luck every time, can it change hosts infinitely?
Du Yuanzhe asked, "The Luck Plundering System is so powerful, how did you manage to win? Do you always lose more than you win?"
[We can't beat it, and it can't beat us either. The best result is a draw, but a draw means the fate of the protagonist won't be changed. In the end, we still win.]
Du Yuanzhe understood that the system was equivalent to occupying the home advantage. Its purpose was not to destroy the luck-plundering system, but to protect the protagonist's luck from being plundered. As long as the luck was not plundered, everything would develop according to its original plot. If the luck-plundering system could not plunder the protagonist's luck, it would be useless no matter how many hosts it changed.
Du Yuanzhe said: "So, as long as we persevere until the end of the novel, we don't have to worry about the luck plundering system?"
[Yes, it will automatically leave this world when the time comes]
