Jian Jing was worried about money.

She asked Fang Limin for the commission fee mainly because she was unhappy with his style of doing things and didn't want to work for nothing. But when the money was really deposited into the account, she didn't know what to do with it. She

had used the royalties before to buy real estate, and it seemed unnecessary to buy more now.

After thinking about it, she found her own fund manager and asked him to buy fund stocks for investment. Even if there was a loss, it was free money, so she didn't feel bad. If the profit was good, she would donate part of it to charity.

Perfect.

After solving the money problem, it was time to cast for Devil May Cry 2.

Just as Director Huang expected, it has now entered a stage of complete chaos.

There are many people in the industry who are optimistic about the "Devil Doctor" series. Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie. Those who come are either talented themselves, or the backstage is talented, or both.

But the casting has not started.

Director Huang has not let go of the reason of "polishing the script".

Privately, he told Jian Jing the truth: "After watching Xie Wei's performance, I really can't put up with others."

Jian Jing was silent.

Shao Meng's acting skills are already remarkable, and it is not easy to find a replacement, let alone Xie Wei after ten years of polishing. There are not many people in the industry who can compare with him.

She is a little skeptical about the second pill.

But things in the world are so unpredictable. Just when everyone finished complaining, there was a turnaround.

A 35-year-old actor contacted Director Huang and said that he was willing to consider playing the role of Devil after reading the script.

Who is such a big name?

A man who has won the Best Actor Award.

That's fine.

He is Xie Wei's senior brother. The two of them worship the same mentor and have a good relationship in the past. He also helped Xie Wei to get a few connections, but later due to health reasons, he gradually withdrew from the film and television industry and only occasionally made guest appearances in the movies of acquaintances.

Before Xie Wei committed suicide, he sent an email to this senior brother to say goodbye.

However, he was on vacation abroad at the time and was away from the Internet, so he did not get the news immediately. After seeing the email, he immediately read the play and book of Devil, and asked friends in the circle about it, and then contacted Director Huang.

Of course, the words were made very clear.

Xie Wei only mentioned to him, "If it hadn't come to this, the devil might have let me return to the public, but unfortunately, I have no way to go."

Therefore, if he is not satisfied with the script, he will not accept it, but if the script is good, he will consider it.

Director Huang was overjoyed. Changing actors in a series is a taboo. Even if the devil has the ability to change his face, it may not necessarily dispel the audience's first impression.

If there is no one with enough weight to replace Shao Meng, the show will inevitably face huge doubts.

Fei Niao has not been finalized for a long time, also to avoid public opinion in this regard.

But if it is a returning actor... there should be no big problem.

He began to catch the scriptwriting team to work on the script.

Salted fish are salty in their own way, but workaholics are always similar. Director Huang was so aggressive when he started working that he didn't even recognize Jian Jing. He even caught her several times and held script discussions for hours until she vomited.

In every meeting, there were overturned ideas and new suggestions. Because filming a TV series is not like literary creation, where you can just type on the keyboard. You have to consider how the scene is shot, how the picture is presented, and how long each episode is.

Of course, you also have to consider the investors' ideas.

Jian Jing went there twice, and the only thing she was thankful for was that she didn't have to make changes herself.

Even so, she didn't want to participate anymore. She used her privileges to only read the final draft, and then escaped from his clutches on the pretext of writing a new book.

This was not a pure lie.

She had already revised "Rose, Gold and Killer" once.

Kang Mucheng was very restrained in his suggestions for revisions. Even though there were imperfections, he tried his best to retain the hint of affection she had when she wrote it.

Jian Jing only needed to correct some logical bugs and delete some passages.

Deletion was Kang Mucheng's suggestion.

He said, "Once you write a romance novel, someone will definitely compare it with other love novels. To be honest, I don't think you can take advantage of it. Some of the readers who like you don't like romance novels, and other romance writers have their own die-hard fans. After the quarrel, you will definitely suffer."

Jian Jing has just been promoted to the ranks of millions of readers. If others can get a chance to drag her down, wouldn't they be so happy?

So, "hiding but not revealing, seeming to be right and wrong, is the most appropriate." He is quite experienced. "We don't use romance novels to promote, nor do we characterize them so much. Let the readers taste and think about it for themselves."

Jian Jing agreed with his opinion.

Moreover, after writing and leaving it alone for a while, when she went back to read the previous text, she could find that although she was restrained when writing, some of her expressions were still too obvious.

At that time, she was very upset about Xie Wei's death, and it was inevitable that there would be some moments of revealing when she projected it into her writing.

Jian Jing finally deleted all these passages and replaced them with more euphemistic descriptions, sometimes flowers, sometimes wind, or just fruits in the refrigerator.

At first glance, it seems to be just an ordinary idle writing, but if you take a closer look and read the previous text, you will know that the wind leaves traces. After

this draft was submitted, Kang Mucheng thought it was okay.

But he still called her to Jinwu and asked her to choose the illustrator.

"We won't advertise too much, but we must let readers know that you have changed this time." Kang Mucheng said, "The first impression of a book is the title and cover. I won't say much about your title, it's enough to hit the point, and the cover must be carefully selected." Jian Jing

flipped through the thick picture book in front of her.

Generally speaking, the covers of suspense books are mainly black, white, and red. People can tell what type it is from a distance when they enter the bookstore. "The Devil Doctor" is like this, no matter how it changes, it remains the same.

However, romance novels are mostly soft colors such as pink and goose yellow, as bright as spring.

Therefore, Jian Jing was a little embarrassed this time.

Too gloomy, it doesn't fit the style, too bright, and it is inevitable to be misunderstood.

It really needs to be carefully selected.

Kang Mucheng patted the album and said, "Which artist's style do you like? Let's cut in line and paint yours first."

Jian Jing couldn't help laughing and joked with him, "You are so partial, aren't you afraid that others will be unhappy?"

"I favor you, who doesn't know that?" Kang Mucheng asked the secretary to pour coffee and held her down to work, "Pick it out this afternoon, don't be lazy."

Jian Jing had no choice but to work honestly.

She didn't come to Jinwu often, and today she occupied a small meeting room. The secretary came to bring coffee and snacks, and was very attentive.

When other employees saw that Kang's confidant was like this, they couldn't help gossiping.

When Jian Jing went to the toilet, she heard people talking about her outside.

"Hey, have you heard that the little princess is here?"

"Teacher Jian? That's rare. I've been here for more than two years and I haven't seen her once."

"I just saw her in the conference room. She's very beautiful."

"What is she doing here? Isn't she here to discuss contract renewal? I heard that Morning Star has been trying to recruit her."

"Teacher Jian shouldn't leave. President Kang treats her so well."

"That's right. Do you think the rumor is true..."

There were footsteps approaching outside, and the people who were chatting stopped talking and didn't continue.

Without hearing all the gossip, Jian Jing returned to the conference room with regret and continued to look through the picture album.

Hard work pays off. After a whole afternoon of hard work, she finally found the right one.

Kang Mucheng looked at it and nodded, and immediately contacted his superiors to prepare for work.

"Can I take a vacation?" Jian Jing asked.

Kang Mucheng glanced at her and said with relief: "Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you home?"

Jian Jing looked at her watch. It was past four in the afternoon, and it was about time to find a place to arrange dinner: "No, I saw a new restaurant nearby. Let's have dinner and go back by ourselves."

Kang Mucheng didn't force it.

He was a little busy recently and couldn't take care of her for the time being, so he just said: "Call me if you have anything." Jian Jing

nodded.

He stood up, and as if he remembered something, he suddenly asked: "Has anyone contacted you recently?"

She raised her eyebrows.

Of course.

Lu Yu.

The rich young man has money and free time, and he has always been patient with people who are interested.

His figure appeared on all her social accounts.

Follow her on Weibo, and keep adding her as a friend on WeChat. If she doesn't reply, he will send text messages. Sometimes he even calls her to ask if she is free for dinner.

She said she was busy every time, but he didn't give up.

The flower delivery person from the florist came to the community every day to report, and the security guard downstairs went upstairs every day to deliver the freshest bouquets, roses, lilies, baby's breath, platycodon, lavender... in different styles.

Within a few days, everyone in the owner group knew that a rich young man was pursuing someone in the community.

Everyone was guessing who it was.

Jian Jing certainly didn't want her privacy to be discovered, so she said to the security guard who delivered the flowers: "Don't send the flowers up, give them to your girlfriend."

The security guard was surprised: "How do you know I have a girlfriend?"

Jian Jing said: "I heard you talking to her on the phone."

The young security guard laughed embarrassedly.

Lu Yu soon discovered this, and without saying a word, he changed to sending desserts.

This time, it was the cleaner's turn to benefit.

Jian Jing knew that the people in the property management office were gossipy and most of them were bribed by Lu Yu, so she didn't fill their stomachs. Instead, she gave all the desserts to the cleaner who cleaned the building.

This auntie was over 50 years old and worked quickly and diligently. Of course, she also took advantage of the owner and often went through the garbage bags to take home the usable things.

Jian Jing didn't give her anything for free. She either asked her to throw away the things or clean the doorway of the house again. After she was done, she gave the desserts to her: "Give it to your daughter."

The cleaner was naturally happy.

Lu Yu persisted in this way for half a month, but there was no effect, and he couldn't help it.

Last night, he made a special trip to wait for her at the gate of the community. She asked, "You don't even give me a chance?" Jian Jing

asked him in return, "Is Xiaorou okay?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said, "I am serious about you."

She was curious, "How serious?"

"Like Xiaoyan and Rongrong," he said, "a serious relationship."

"Isn't this what should be done?"

Jian Jing said lightly, "If you were like your uncle, I would have made you look good a long time ago." Lu Yu wondered, "My uncle?" Shouldn't he be like Xiaoyan? How could it be... He suddenly understood, his face changed drastically, and he looked at her in shock.

Jian Jing raised her lips and stabbed him again: "You two have similar aesthetic tastes. It turns out that men of all ages like twenty-year-old girls."

Lu Yu took a deep breath and said decisively: "We are different."

"That has nothing to do with me." Jian Jing said perfunctorily without sincerity, "I'm still young and want to study first."

Lu Yu hesitated.

He was twenty-seven years old, and Jian Jing would only be twenty-one after the Chinese New Year. The six-year gap was not small.

"Do you want to be friends first?" she asked again.

Being friends is of course a good progress, and Lu Yu agreed immediately. Jian

Jing went home calmly.

Even with her eyes closed, she knew why Lu Yu was interested in her. The classic lines in the domineering CEO novels have already explained the essence, which is nothing more than "Woman, you caught my attention."

Once they are different from the crowd, they will inevitably be attracted. The more alienated and resistant they are, the more they can arouse their desire to conquer. In this game, both parties will see each other's advantages, and love will gradually sprout.

Therefore, if she takes the initiative to show her goodwill, Lu Yu will lose interest and stop bothering her.

But this matter cannot be told to Kang Mucheng.

Jian Jing smiled slightly: "I'm fine."

Kang Mucheng paused and said nothing more.
