Fan Sheng was having a headache from Sun Yi’s noisiness. When he saw his assistant enter, he nodded and asked him to come over. At the same time, he said to Sun Yi, “I’ll increase the investment by an additional 100 million.”

Sun Yi clearly hesitated for a moment, then uphold his spirit of dedication to art and said, “That won’t do either. Do you know that a bad female lead will ruin the entire movie?”

Fan Sheng took the phone from his assistant and said, “I’ll add 200 million.”

Sun Yi straightened his neck. “No means no. No matter how much you add, it won’t work.”

The assistant leaned close to Fan Sheng’s ear and whispered, “Miss Shen just called. I’ve picked it up.”

Fan Sheng lowered his head. Seeing that the call was getting longer by the minute, he couldn’t help but rub his temples.

He sighed deeply and put the phone to his ear. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Que listened to his deep voice and her heart involuntarily beat faster. She said in a gentle voice, “I originally wanted to thank you for helping me clarify the matter with Li Weiguo…”

Fan Cheng replied, “No need to thank me. Is there anything else?”

“Yes.” Shen Que pursed her lips. “Is Director Sun Yi at your place?”

Her question was very tactful. Fan Cheng glanced at the man in front of him and replied with an “Mm”.

Shen Que pressed on, “Is he refusing to let me join his film crew?”

Fan Cheng replied, “No.”

‘No, my ass.’ Shen Que rolled her eyes. She had heard everything, alright?

Thinking about how Sun Yi could resist Fan Cheng’s money attack, Shen Que could not help but give him a thumbs up in her heart. She then asked, “Has his new female lead been decided?”

Hearing this, Fan Cheng relayed her question to Sun Yi. Sun Yi shook his head.

Shen Que then asked Fan Cheng to put her on speakerphone. Following this, a determined female voice sounded from the phone, “If the female lead hasn’t been decided yet, can you give me a chance for an interview? I believe that my performance will not disappoint Director Sun Yi.”

Hearing this, Sun Yi rubbed his chin with interest and nodded. “Sure. Come to Huansheng Entertainment at two in the afternoon tomorrow and ask for me.”

After hanging up the call, Sun Yi tilted his head and looked at Fan Cheng with a look of shock. “I didn’t expect you, a thousand-year-old iron tree, to have such good taste once it blooms.”

Fan Cheng ignored him.

Sun Yi could not help but ask, “If your little lover really passes the interview, does the 200 million investment still count?”

Fan Cheng focused on reading the documents.

Sun Yi lay on the documents on his desk and said pitifully, “100 million, 100 million is fine too…”

Fan Cheng said bluntly, “Scram.”

On the other end, Shen Que had just hung up when Mother Yuan called.

After Shen Que picked up the call, the other party immediately began to question, “Xiao Que, who were you on the phone with just now? Mom was on hold the whole time.”

Shen Que did not answer. She only asked, “Is there something you want?”

Mother Yuan cleared her throat. “Mom saw the news about your clarification and knows that you’re innocent. Come back.”

Shen Que said, “There’s no need.”

Mother Yuan said, “I called your adoptive parents and they said that you didn’t go back to theirs. Where are you now?”

Shen Que replied, “I have my own place to stay.”

Mother Yuan laughed as she said, “Oh, I know, are you with President Li? I saw his divorce announcement with Chen Xuan. He has a big business, you’ve got to hold on to him tight!”

Shen Que frowned and interrupted her nagging. “I’ve already said that I have nothing to do with President Li. What exactly do you want?”

Mother Yuan laughed awkwardly and said, “When this matter came out, the Fan Family was very angry. Your Uncle Fan personally called and said that he wanted to break off the engagement. After repeated persuasion from your father and I, they finally agreed to break off Fan Juncheng’s engagement with you and he’ll be engaged to Ranran instead.”

Shen Que asked, “So?”

“Ranran has a stable future now. We are worried that you won’t have anyone to take care of you.” When mother Yuan said this, she sobbed a few times, “Originally, my plan was that if you and President Li were dating, the news would be public by now and we can set a date on the marriage. It just so happens that your father’s company has a big business deal to discuss with President Li’s company. If you get married to him, it will be a double blessing.”

Shen Que sneered, “Well I’m sorry, your plan is about to be ruined.”

Mother Yuan hurriedly said, “It doesn’t matter if you’re not in a relationship with President Li. However, you’re already old. In a few more years, no one will want you anymore. I’m worried that you won’t be able to make a good decision on marriage living on your own. In the end, you’ll become a spinster and die at home without anyone knowing.”

“So?” Shen Que raised an eyebrow. “You want me to go back for a blind date?”

Just as she finished her sentence, Shen Que suddenly caught sight of a black shadow from the corner of her eyes. She jumped in fright and hurriedly stood up, then saw Fan Cheng’s cold face.

Mother Yuan was still chattering on the other end of the phone. Shen Que hurriedly hung up the call and stood up straight like a primary school student.

Fan Sheng changed his shoes and walked over to her.. He said expressionlessly, “Blind date?”
