Duan Yuanqing finished reading in one breath, his eyes already shining with undisguised amazement: "I'll take this role! There shouldn't be... any other competitors, right?"
Director He chuckled on the other end of the phone: "You're a double Best Actor winner, who can beat you?"
Duan Yuanqing tapped his phone screen lightly with his fingertips, then suddenly asked Director He a question he hadn't expected: "Does her company... sign human artists?"
Director He was stunned, his mind almost not processing it: "Huh? You...you're going to recommend a newcomer to her?"
“No,” Duan Yuanqing’s voice was clear and calm, filled with seriousness, “I volunteer.”
Director He: ?!
He almost thought he had misheard. This double-award-winning actor, worth over 100 million and with top-notch resources, was actually going to a new company that hadn't even been officially listed yet?
"Yuan Qing, you...you're not joking with me, are you?"
Director He's voice changed, "Expert Xia's company hasn't even had its licenses yet, and it has absolutely no foundation or resources in the entertainment industry!"
“It’s alright,” Duan Yuanqing said calmly, but with a hint of certainty. “My own studio is already operating very well, and I have no shortage of resources in China.”
Director He still found it hard to believe: "But for someone of your level to go to a new company, it's like you're single-handedly supporting the whole company and building it up from scratch!"
Duan Yuanqing chuckled lightly, his tone filled with a do-or-die determination: "Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Only in this way can we truly repay this favor."
He paused, his voice revealing a rare enthusiasm: "Besides, don't you think this company has a very interesting future?"
"Just imagine, your future colleagues might all be fluffy little actors. How interesting would that work environment be?"
“More importantly,” he changed the subject, with a clear understanding of the world, “I rarely misjudge people. This expert Xia has a unique eye and also has the good fortune to bring prosperity to the film crew.”
"Maybe in the end, it won't be me 'supporting' the company, but the company carrying me to fly further and higher?"
If they could recruit the top actor to Expert Xia's company, Director He would be more than happy to do so: "Great! With you saying that, I'll go and strongly recommend him to Expert Xia right away!"
"It's a deal, you can't go back on your word!"

At this moment, Xia Zhining was already sitting in the car heading to the conference center.
The calculated time was more than enough, but unexpectedly, key sections of the road were congested one after another.
As the hands of her watch jumped to 3:20, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Seeing this, the bodyguard in the passenger seat calmly reassured him, "Expert Xia, don't worry. You were delayed because of solving the case; the case is more important than the meeting."
Xia Zhining smiled bitterly to herself.
My older brother, Ji Shuyun, went with Commander Song from the Southeast Provincial Department. As a police officer who officially attended the meeting, he had more things to do and was busy as soon as he got off the plane.
As a "special guest invited by all three parties," her schedule was relatively flexible.
Xia Zhining originally planned to visit the zoo in the morning, have a leisurely lunch, and attend the meeting at her own pace in the afternoon, with plenty of time to spare.
Who would have thought that a poisoning case would be uncovered by following the clues during a lunch break?
My tendency to be followed by cases wherever I go is really comparable to Conan's.
