It turns out it was Fu Jingyuan's doing.
If it's him, then there's nothing surprising.
After all, there's never been anything he couldn't do if he wanted to.
Even though he has now lost the use of his legs and can only spend his days in a wheelchair, Fu San alone is no match for him.
Jiang Ruoyu gripped her chopsticks tightly, said nothing more, and also put Qin Sheng's matter out of her mind.
This kind of role isn't worth her putting too much effort into.
Jiang Ruoyu never expected that her momentary carelessness would cause her to lose face so much.
With 40 million followers on Weibo, Qin Sheng has already caught up with the popularity of some popular young actresses. Given her current popularity and public image, she doesn't need anyone to help her rise to the top tier.
Li Ying had been with Jiang Ruoyu for several years, so she naturally noticed her embarrassment. Her gaze shifted, and she immediately showed a look of self-reproach.
"If you really think about it, it's my fault as the assistant. Sister Ruoyu just returned to China. She has to select scripts and adapt to the domestic film and television demand, accompany the young master to social events, and attend various gatherings with friends. It's normal that she doesn't have time to pay attention to things online."
"It's all my fault as the assistant for not fulfilling my responsibilities."
Jiang Ruoyu came to her senses, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
It wasn't really a big deal to begin with; it was just a little awkward to say it in front of the person involved. Now that Li Ying had given her a way out, Jiang Ruoyu took the opportunity to do so.
He nodded and said, "What Actor Qin said is right. Since I'm planning to return to China to continue my career, I do need to catch up on the situation here."
With that, he picked up his bag, nodded to the Qin family again, and said goodbye with a smile: "These are my thoughts on the script. I'll leave Director Mu to Actor Qin."
Qin Zhihuai nodded casually and said, "I will help convey Miss Jiang's idea, but as you know, Director Mu is very opinionated about the works under his command, so even if I bring it up, he may not necessarily adopt it."
Jiang Ruoyu knew this, and that's why she made a point of taking the time to find Qin Zhihuai instead of going directly to Director Mu.
As an investor and long-time partner of Director Mu, Qin Zhihuai's words carry far more weight with Director Mu than hers.
Jiang Ruoyu thanked him and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, she remembered something.
He paused, glanced at Qin Sheng thoughtfully, and said, "I heard that Director Mu has auditioned nearly twenty actresses, but hasn't found his ideal candidate for 'Han Yan' yet. I think Miss Qin is quite suitable, perhaps..."
The words "Let her try" were still lingering on his lips when Qin Zhihuai coldly but politely refused, "No need."
His expression grew increasingly indifferent: "As actors, we just need to thoroughly study our roles; the rest is up to the directors and screenwriters."
These words were practically accusing Jiang Ruoyu of meddling in other people's business.
Jiang Ruoyu's expression changed slightly.
He didn't say anything more, and after glancing at Qin Sheng and Qin Zhihuai, he left.
They could also faintly hear the two talking.
Qin Sheng: "Why are you angry?"
Qin Zhihuai snorted: "Third Brother has taken on a period martial arts drama this time. Han Yan is the third female lead in the script. She is set up as the most beautiful woman in the world and the most skilled assassin in the world, with superb martial arts skills."
“I’ve read Han Yan’s script. Almost every scene is a high-altitude fight scene, suspended by wires from beginning to end. Let alone amateurs, even professional actors would find it difficult to finish all the scenes.”
"Jiang Ruoyu's mention of this clearly indicates ill intentions. Do you have a grudge against her?"
Qin Sheng: "...It's not really a feud, just a minor conflict."
Qin Zhihuai's expression turned even colder: "She herself is thinking of reducing the number of scenes involving wire work and even wants to use a stunt double, but then she wants my sister to take on such a difficult role. She really dares to say that!"
Gu Yueming was initially quite confused, but after Qin Zhihuai's analysis, she instantly understood.
Sensing that Jiang Ruoyu had ill intentions, she immediately retorted fiercely, "Reduce it? I think she should be given more screen time!"
Qin Zhihuai looked thoughtful.
He nodded, turned around, picked up his phone from the coffee table, and went to make a call.
"Director Mu, it's me, Qin Zhihuai."
"Yes, Jiang Ruoyu came to see me today. She felt that a few scenes were a bit redundant and wanted me to ask if they could be removed or simplified. Specifically, scenes five, shot six; scenes seven, shot nine; scenes twelve, shot three; and scenes fourteen, shot one. What do you think..."
"You're joking. Since I've invited you to be the director, of course it's your decision. I'm just passing on the message; I don't mean anything by it. The final decision is up to you."
"Okay...right, those few scenes that were cut before..."
"Okay, you can decide for me. As long as it achieves the desired effect, I will do my best to cooperate."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Zhihuai hung up the phone, turned around and raised his eyebrows at his mother and sister: "Successfully added a scene."
Qin Sheng... What else could Qin Sheng say? She could only silently give her third brother a thumbs up.
No wonder he's a movie star; his acting skills are truly impressive.
Jiang Ruoyu was unaware that her attempt to trick someone had backfired and she had ended up in her own trap. After getting into the car, she turned to Li Ying and asked, "Have you received a response to the invitation I asked you to send to the Fu family?"
Li Ying's face stiffened slightly, and she slowly shook her head.
Jiang Ruoyu's gaze darkened slightly: "Have you found out what Young Master Fu has been busy with lately?"
Yes, that's available.
but……
Li Ying glanced at Jiang Ruoyu cautiously, hesitating to speak.
Jiang Ruoyu's brow twitched, and she slowly said, "Speak."
Li Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I heard they're looking for someone."
He paused, then added, "A woman."
Jiang Ruoyu's body tensed up suddenly, and after a while, she slowly relaxed and whispered, "Who?"
Li Ying shook her head: "We can't find out that. As you know, Young Master Fu is always very strict with his subordinates. He doesn't want outsiders to know, so no one can find out."
Jiang Ruoyu knew this, and it was precisely because she knew that she felt increasingly uneasy.
Fu Jingyuan is indeed very strict in managing his subordinates, but there aren't many things that can make him "strict." Once he gives an order not to reveal it to outsiders, it means that he cares about that matter very much.
This indirectly shows that he cares deeply about the woman he is looking for.
So, who exactly is it?
A dark light flickered in Jiang Ruoyu's eyes, and her hand on the car door handle slowly tightened.
She couldn't wait any longer; she had to go to the Fu family to see Fu Jingyuan in person.
But how can I meet him...?
Jiang Ruoyu's eyes flickered slightly, and a stunningly beautiful face appeared in her mind.
Qin Sheng... Fu Jingheng... Fu Jingyuan...
Perhaps this is a breakthrough?
Jiang Ruoyu's mind raced, and an idea quietly surfaced in her mind.
