After the two of them returned to the private room one after the other, Zhao Xinning took the initiative to speak, “Director Zhang, is the contract for the role of Begonia already signed?”

“No, it hasn’t yet.”

“I wonder if Director Zhang can consider me, I’m also really interested in this role.”

The director subconsciously glanced at Mu Beiting, a thin layer of sweat seeped from his forehead.

Even though the contract hasn’t been signed yet, everyone who was present at that moment knew that the role of Begonia had already been set for Su Xiangwan, only the contract signing was left for her to do.

However, at this moment, Zhao Xinning suddenly wanted this specific role. Things were not looking good.

This really was the moment when Yama fights, but it’s the small imps that suffer.

Screenwriter Li Qingyun frowned. “Miss Zhao… please don’t mind my bluntness, you’re not really suitable for this role. There is another supporting role in this film…”

“Screenwriter Li, I’m planning to add another 30 million to the investment for this crew. I also really want to star in this film, I’m not sure if Screenwriter Li can fulfill my wish,” Zhao Xinning gently said, her gaze seemingly sincere.

Li Qingyun was speechless for a moment. On the inside, she had already disagreed a million times for Zhao Xinning to play Begonia, this was because her temperament and image didn’t match the character all.

However, since she was Mu Beiting’s fiancee, she was really scared that if she straight up rejected her, then this film would be completely ruined.

Su Xiangwan curled up her lips, there was a flash of mockery in her eyes as she stayed silent.

The director wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Mu Beiting and cautiously said, “Mr. Mu… you see…”

After all, to him, Mu Beiting’s decision for this was the most important.

There was a saying in Haicheng, you’d rather anger the Death Lord than provoke Mu Beiting.

He didn’t want to upset the Young Master of the Mu Family over a film.

Zhao Xinning also expectantly looked at the man beside her nervously, holding her breath.

Mu Beiting, who had kept his eyes lowered this whole time, lifted them gradually. His gaze was cold, he slightly opened his lips. “The Mu Corporation will add another 100 million to this investment, but there is one requirement.”

Hearing this, the director felt his legs turn to jelly, he immediately understood his attitude.

Zhao Xinning was pleased. It seemed that his requirement was for her to star as Begonia?

Not expecting Mu Beiting to support herself, Zhao Xinning was overjoyed. She spoke softly, “Bei… Mr. Mu, you treat me so well.”

Then, she proudly glanced at Su Xiangwan, her eyes flashing with insolence: Su Xiangwan, let’s see how you will fight with me now! Remember this, this is just the beginning. Those who dare to fight me for the things I want will never have a good ending!

Su Xiangwan slightly lowered her eyes, she hid the smear of loss and disappointment behind them.

Oh well, there are good roles everywhere. She’s got the looks and the acting skills, she didn’t believe that she’ll never be able to shine one day.

“Ms. Su, my apologies. I’ll play the role of Begonia well for you.”

She had just finished speaking when a deep voice interrupted her, “I don’t think I said the role of Begonia belongs to you.”

Zhao Xinning froze, she looked up towards Mu Beiting’s malicious eyes. “Bei… Beiting…?”

“The Mu Corporation will add another 100 million to the investment. The only requirement is that the current actress for Begonia is not to be replaced,” Mu Beiting said coldly.

Everyone froze, they didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

Naturally, both the director and screenwriter were overjoyed. However, Zhao Xinning’s face went from red to white, and then from white to green.

“Beiting… I really do want to…”

Mu Beiting frowned. “Since you want to star in the movie that much, the other supporting roles would suit you.”

“Other… other supporting roles?”

“Don’t tell me, did you think that you could take advantage of your position as Mrs. Mu to bully others?”

“I… I didn’t…”

“Then this arrangement will do.”
