Chapter 69: 046 Shen You’an Is She a Charlatan? (First Update)_3

But to give up like this, she truly couldn’t reconcile herself.

"Do you know Tianxing Real Estate?"

Ru Caiying froze for a moment. Of course she did—Tianxing Real Estate was a well-known property company in Spring City, and its boss’s surname was Zhao.

"Could it be that this newcomer has some connection to Boss Zhao?"

"A while ago, Xie Beichun had an incident, and one of the shareholders, Zhao Haotian, was elected as the new chairman of Xie Group. This President Zhao is actually the controlling power behind Tianxing Real Estate."

Tianxing Real Estate’s scale couldn’t compare to Xie Group, so Zhao Haotian was merely one of its many shareholders and had very little say. Since Xie Beichun’s incident, Xie Group has been thrown into chaos, and Zhao Haotian seized the opportunity to rise to power and gain control over Xie Group.

So, this President Zhao certainly has an impressive background, supported by powerful connections.

Of course, those who weren’t privy to the inner workings would only see the surface and wouldn’t realize the role Amos played in the matter, focusing solely on Zhao Haotian’s meteoric rise.

Zhao Heng added immediately, "Zhao Haotian has a cousin named Zhao Mingtian. He runs a film investment company that relies heavily on the Zhao family’s resources and has done quite well with it. This time, Director Cen’s new film has Zhao Mingtian as one of its investors."

No further explanation was needed from Zhao Heng; Ru Caiying understood perfectly.

"Director Cen is someone with ideals and pursuits—how could he be coerced by investors?"

Zhao Heng shook his head. "Director Cen’s films have always emphasized artistry over commercial value, which is why the box office results have been less than desirable. Without financial returns, savvy investors won’t fund them. If backing is withdrawn, Director Cen would find himself in a difficult position."

At times, even the most idealistic individuals must bow to the harsh reality.

"Am I supposed to just admit defeat then?"

"Of course not."

A cool, detached voice suddenly came from behind.

Ru Caiying instinctively turned her head to see a slender young woman stepping through the door. At first glance, she appeared incredibly delicate, her exposed skin unimaginably pale. Upon closer inspection of her features, it seemed they were shrouded in a faint mist, impossible to discern clearly.

She exuded an aura of mystique and allure.

"Who are you...?" Ru Caiying asked curiously.

Zhao Heng coughed lightly, "An’an, the company’s specially appointed... bodyguard."

Ru Caiying nodded, "Hello, An’an the bodyguard."

So fragile-looking—it was hard to imagine she was actually a bodyguard.

"An’an, do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Heng blinked his wide eyes at her.

Boss, we’re being pushed around—this must be dealt with properly!

Ru Caiying frowned. Something this significant, and President Zhao was seeking a bodyguard’s advice? Surely, President Zhao wasn’t just grasping at straws out of desperation?

Shen You’an replied faintly, "If Director Cen must bow to investors, then the solution is to replace the investors."

Ru Caiying widened her eyes, staring incredulously at the audacious young woman.

Do you think investors are some kind of interchangeable accessory? Do you even understand what you’re saying?

Ru Caiying glanced at Zhao Heng, her expression clearly questioning whether the brain of this bodyguard President Zhao had hired was working properly.

But Zhao Heng didn’t seem to regard her words as outrageous. Instead, his eyes were brimming with excitement, looking ready to take action.

Ru Caiying felt thoroughly hopeless. What kind of company had she signed with?

"Senior, thank you. If you hadn’t told me about this, I might have missed out on this role."

"Congratulations! I believe with your talent, you’ll handle this character perfectly. I won’t say more—I’ve got other matters to deal with. Talk soon."

After hanging up, the corners of Liang Ruofan’s lips curved slightly.

With the lead actress replaced by a newcomer, the male lead’s casting would probably prompt Director Cen to reconsider as well.

Sure enough, Liang Ruofan soon received a call from Director Cen’s studio, requesting him to come back for another audition.

This time, Liang Ruofan felt highly confident in his performance, but he still didn’t see any smile on Director Cen’s face.

To cast two newcomers was an enormously risky move for Director Cen. From any angle, he remained the most optimal choice.

Director Cen might not grasp such logic, but those astute investors surely did.

Director Cen merely said, "Thanks for your efforts. Please go and take a break for now."

Liang Ruofan walked out of the audition room and saw a young man sitting on a bench. The moment the man noticed him, he stood up nervously.

Liang Ruofan narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of cold hostility flashing in his gaze.

This awkward-looking young man—was he the newcomer Director Cen had selected?

Liang Ruofan sneered softly.

He, a dignified film emperor, had been deemed less than a lowly waiter. Absolutely laughable.

Pu Yutai clumsily struggled to decide where to place his trembling hands—this was Liang Ruofan, after all. The dream man of countless women, a dazzling megastar.
