After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 733 Mom's not up to the task, Juanjuan does it herself.

Cough!

The ungrateful brat's words were so shocking that Li Mingyang choked on his cigarette.

Li Mingyang coughed as he walked to the door and opened it.

A girl with long, straight black hair, wearing a white dress, stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at him with a sweet smile.

"Dad, why didn't you look for me when you came back to China?" Juanjuan asked with a pout, her smile fading.

“If you call me ‘Dad’ again, I’ll call your whole family.” Li Mingyang stared coldly at Juanjuan.

Juanjuan stared at her father… no, Director Li’s eyes.

He thought to himself, "Director Li's eyes are so beautiful, such captivating eyes! They're so charming."

"Brother, your eyes are so beautiful!" Juanjuan looked at them from left to right, liking them more and more each time.

After returning to China, Li Mingyang rarely wore sunglasses, and after joining the One-Punch Man crew, he never wore them again.

"Alright, come in. I've been waiting for you for a while. Why are you only arriving now?"

"I went to America, just got back."

Why go to America?

“Go to school! My mom said that high schools in China are not good enough for me, so she wants me to study in the US. The paperwork is already done.”

Well, this is another banana person just like their mother.

When will school start?

"Mid-October."

Li Mingyang said "oh," sat back in his boss's chair, and lit another cigarette for himself.

Juanjuan was somewhat disappointed. She had thought Li Mingyang would try to persuade her to stay, but all he said was "oh".

She was heartbroken.

"Aren't you going to try to keep me here?" Juanjuan said, her hands resting on the desk, her big, pitiful eyes wide.

"What's there to persuade me to stay? I always respect other people's decisions."

"Tch! When you fired people, you didn't respect their decisions. Many didn't want to leave, but you forced them out," Song Zuer said sarcastically.

"This little guy's got a problem, daring to talk to me like that."

"Why, can't you?"

Song Zuer straightened up, put her hands on her hips, and said in a cute but fierce way.

Juanjuan is very beautiful and outstanding.

But Li Mingyang didn't have much affection or dislike for Juanjuan, that ungrateful brat.

I have no urge to raise a younger sister.

They had no intention of taking it for themselves.

Of course, he wouldn't mind playing friendly matches, but that would have to wait until she came of age.

In her past life, Juanjuan went to study in the US, and she was a complete jerk.

He went to America to work as a Brazilian steakman.

Li Mingyang gave her such a high starting point in life, and she even became a Brazilian steakman after going abroad. She should just die.

Turtle?

Dong Mingzhu, affectionately known as "Aunt Dong," once publicly stated in the media, "I resolutely refuse to hire overseas returnees. There are spies among them, and it's impossible to tell them apart."

Although she later added, "I believe in the talent cultivated by domestic universities."

He was still being criticized by domestic media and attacked by netizens!
In the globalized market competition, overseas returnees have always been regarded as an important link for enterprises to go international.

Dong's statement sparked public outrage, with even state media criticizing her, saying that her views "do not conform to business logic and are ten years behind the times," and that only by abandoning prejudice can we embrace the real talent dividend.

After all, both Qian Xuesen and Deng Xiaoping were returned overseas students...

Veteran media personality Lao Hu jumped out and accused Aunt Dong of possibly violating the law with her remarks.

The Labor Law clearly stipulates that employment discrimination is prohibited, but Ms. Dong publicly stated that she would "never hire overseas returnees," which is actually using nationality or background as a threshold and violates the principle of equal employment.

It was also said that the words of public figures like Dong Mingzhu could influence policy direction, and the hiring practices of large enterprises could also guide the overall trend of the industry.

Therefore, he hopes that Gree can face up to this issue and dispel misunderstandings about a certain group of people through a public statement.

This not only demonstrates respect for the law but also acknowledges market diversity.

Aunt Dong is subjected to cyberbullying every year; she speaks recklessly and is disliked by many.

However, never using sea turtles is absolutely a wise saying.

Its value has been steadily increasing!
Gree suffered greatly as a result.

It's a subtle form of brainwashing. The person involved doesn't think they've done anything wrong; they even believe they're saving Dongda University and doing something great that benefits the country and its people.

If the University of Tokyo needs your help, then it's truly doomed!
Forget about the sea turtle; FBTV is fine, but we don't need flower bouquet entertainment!
Of course, the main reason is that I can't afford it...

Where can you find cheap, obedient, motivated, eager to learn, and hardworking oxen and horses?
"Director Li, I don't want to go to school in America, I want to be with you." Juanjuan took Li Mingyang's hands in her hands, squeezed them tightly, and said with tears in her eyes.

If you have peach blossom eyes, then we can talk things out.
If you don't like peach blossom eyes, don't make it so cloying.

Li Mingyang withdrew his hand and gently patted Juanjuan's head, saying, "Wherever you go, you'll always be my good little sister."

"I don't want to be the younger sister."

"Oh, you want to be treated like a slave?"

Juanjuan chuckled and said proudly, "It's not impossible!"

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes, reached out and grabbed Juanjuan's waist, pressing her against his legs, while his other hand pressed down on Juanjuan's back.

"No... my lord, please don't..."

Juanjuan kept saying no, but her face was full of smiles, and she was overjoyed inside.

Snapped!
The next moment, Juanjuan was no longer happy.

Li Mingyang spanked her butt, it hurt so much.

"Why...why did you spank me?"

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes and slapped Juanjuan's bottom repeatedly.

“You’re so young and you’re not learning anything good. I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother.”

clap clap!

"Waaah... You're bullying me, let me go... I'm going to tell my cousin that you're bullying me... You hit me!" Juanjuan kicked her legs and grabbed wildly, but even if her cousin came, she would be a fat fish on the chopping board if Li Mingyang pressed her down with his big hand.

clap clap!

Li Mingyang remained silent, continuing to slap her. He watched as Juanjuan's body tensed from the slaps, screaming and resisting more and more fiercely.

As waves of fear and pain washed over him, Li Mingyang suddenly felt a surge of exhilaration.

Happiness is built on the suffering of others!
Li Mingyang enjoyed filming more and more, but Juanjuan suffered. She took a big gulp and couldn't hold back her tears, which flowed freely.

Her fair, youthful face was streaked with pear blossoms and raindrops.

Juanjuan is so pitiful and beautiful!
Snapped!
It would have been better if Juanjuan hadn't cried; the more she cried, the harder Li Mingyang hit her.

"Brother Mingyang... please stop hitting her. I know I was wrong. Please stop hitting Juanjuan."

"What did I say wrong?" Li Mingyang raised his five fingers and said coldly.

“Brother Mingyang is an upright person, not a heretic. I will definitely study hard in the future, and not think about messy things or say messy things.”

"Well, there's more."

"What else?"

"You'd better listen to me from now on... Heh, even if I hit you and made your butt swell up, your mom will still think it's your fault."

Juanjuan blinked quickly. "You're talking nonsense."

"I'll allow you to go home and complain."

"Um... I won't say anything out of line, don't worry, Mingyang-gege. I'll say I fell down."

Snapped!
Caught off guard, Juanjuan's little bottom suffered again, and she quickly begged for mercy, "I know, I know, I'll listen to Brother Mingyang from now on... Don't hit Juanjuan anymore, it hurts so much."

Li Mingyang grinned, pinched Juanjuan by the back of her neck, and stood her up.

After being beaten for a while, Juanjuan's legs gave way and she sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Ah! My duck!"

Juanjuan howled like a wolf and screamed like a ghost, then rolled over and lay face down on the ground.

"You...you're too cruel, you've hurt Juanjuan so badly."

There was a crash!
Li Mingyang took a bottle of medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis from the drawer and tossed it to Juanjuan.

Holding the small bottle, Juanjuan's eyes lit up with a sudden idea. She said shyly, "Brother Mingyang, could you help me apply it?"

"Men and women are not allowed to be intimate."

"But you just spanked her..." Juanjuan pouted, looking unhappy.

"Okay, I'll be more careful in the future. I'll buy a steel ruler on Taobao later."

Juanjuan was startled, and her buttocks no longer hurt.

"If you can't walk anymore, I'll find someone to take you home."

"Um...this isn't a good idea, what if there are any rumors..."

Juanjuan is precocious despite her small size; she knows everything.

Li Mingyang had initially felt some pity, but it all vanished in an instant. He picked up the phone and called the front desk, asking her to take Juanjuan home.

How are the college entrance exam takers? They haven't entered any circles; they're all unpolished gems...

As Li Mingyang waved goodbye to Juanjuan, who was about to go to high school in the United States, an idea suddenly flashed into his mind.

……

Juanjuan was carried downstairs by the receptionist, got into the car, and returned home reluctantly.

When Juanjuan's mother saw how badly Juanjuan was treated, unable even to touch her bottom, she felt both heartbroken and furious. She asked her daughter who had hit her, whether it was Zhang Ruonan.

Juanjuan originally intended to pin the blame on Zhang Ruonan, but then she remembered her father... Director Li's words.

Be obedient.

While observing her mother's expression, Juanjuan shyly recounted the incident of Director Li spanking her, omitting any provocative remarks.

Snapped!
"You little brat, did your brain get squeezed in a door? How come you're just as stupid as your cousin? You have no sense at all!" Juanjuan's mother was furious at her daughter's lack of self-control and slapped Juanjuan's bottom.

Juanjuan was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She rolled around on the carpet, crying, "Mom, how could you help... an outsider? I'm your daughter!"

A hint of heartache flashed in Juanjuan's mother's eyes, but the next moment, she was furious.

She sent Juanjuan abroad to study, hoping to cultivate her into an elite returnee, so that she could eventually come back to China and curry favor with Li Mingyang.

My daughter is precocious and has no sense of propriety; how could a mother not know that?

Without listening to her daughter's complaints, Juanjuan's mother picked her up with one hand and carried her out the door like a chick, got into the car, and went to Mingyang Entertainment to apologize.

The mother and daughter arrived at Mingyang Entertainment. The receptionist was surprised, "Auntie, what brings you to the company? Juanjuan should rest and recuperate..."

"This girl has thick skin, she'll be fine."

The receptionist looked at Juanjuan, who was only about 1.5 meters tall and weighed no more than 70 kilograms... She had nothing to do with being thick-skinned.

"Then we'll go up first." After Juanjuan's mother finished speaking, she took Juanjuan's hand and walked towards the elevator.

"Director Li is busy right now. If you go up now, you might have to wait a long time. You can go to the sixth floor to rest for a while. I will let you know when Director Li is done."

Juanjuan's mother said yes, yes.

Once downstairs, he went straight to Li Mingyang's office and had his daughter knock on the door to call for help.

Juanjuan was initially furious that her mother was siding with outsiders, but her mother had a brilliant idea: she actually brought her to Director Li's house to apologize. Juanjuan immediately calmed down.

Her purpose in coming to Director Li was that she didn't want to go to school in the US!

My mom brought it to my door, that couldn't be better.

click!
The door opened, and behind it stood a tall girl with short hair, wearing a pink dress.

"Hello, please come in." The short-haired girl spoke somewhat awkwardly, stepping aside to let the two of them into the house.

Juanjuan took the lead, enduring the pain in her buttocks, and walked into the office with her back straight.

She froze as soon as she entered the office!

Uh...why are there so many people!

So many handsome men and beautiful women!
……

All the key actors in the Train to Busan crew have already arrived in Hengdian.

All the interior scenes and green screen scenes in Train to Busan were filmed in Hengdian.

After filming in Hengdian, we went to Qingdao and Dali for small-scale location shooting, and finally to Busan for large-scale location shooting.

Lee Myung-yang's resignation as director, handing over the reins of Train to Busan to Oh Ji-kyu, sent shockwaves through the entertainment industries of both China and South Korea, with all sorts of bizarre reports flooding the internet.

After all, Li Mingyang had just won the Palme d'Or for Best Director, but first refused to take on The Three-Body Problem, and then resigned from directing Train to Busan.

It shocked everyone.

Besides Li Mingyang, the media and audiences are most concerned about whether Yuan Bin will also withdraw from the show.

The discussion among Chinese and South Korean filmmakers, netizens, and media has been heated, but Won Bin, the person involved, has remained silent.

Won Bin's promise to return to acting has absolutely nothing to do with the script.

It's mainly because of Kim Sae-ron, and only secondarily because of Lee Myung-yang.

Lee Myung-yang stated that he would be the producer of Train to Busan. Except that he would not be the director, the production team would be the same as that of Shinsegae and Seoul Spring, so Won Bin had no objections.

"Old Wu, find a role for Juanjuan later," Li Mingyang said, pointing at Juanjuan.

Old Wu nodded. "How long will you live?"

"Two or three scenes, I guess."

Juanjuan was stunned. "I'm so cute, how could you let me die so quickly?"

If this were any other drama, Juanjuan would definitely disagree and would definitely cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide.

But the cast of Train to Busan was so good, with Won Bin and Choi Min-sik, that she accepted it after some internal consideration.

Juanjuan is quite the seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry; she knows that Sino-Korean co-productions are all good projects, and Li Mingyang has the most of these kinds of projects.

As for Juanjuan's mother, she's completely smitten with Won Bin and has long since become a fangirl...

When it comes to being a heartthrob for housewives, Won Bin is the king of this race!
"Old Wu, take them to visit Mingyang Entertainment and the circular building next door," Li Mingyang said, glancing at the time.

Wu Zhikui nodded and invited everyone to visit.

"Brother, aren't you coming with us?" the short-haired girl in the pink dress asked.

Juanjuan glanced at the other person indifferently, feeling extremely disdainful. "Brother" is called so affectionately, it's so cheesy.

"You guys go ahead, I'll come find you when I have time," Li Mingyang said, waving his hand.

“Brother, I recently drew a comic story and would like you to take a look at it,” Kim Sae-ron said.

Upon hearing this, Li Mingyang immediately became interested and told Jin Sae-ron to bring it over quickly.

Upon seeing this, the actors from the Train to Busan crew all smiled, proving that Director Lee's passion for animation was no joke.

Seoul Spring didn't keep a single penny; it all went into the industrialization of Korean comics. This boldness and attitude are something that even non-Koreans can't criticize.

Juanjuan stared longingly at the little bastard, then sat down next to Li Mingyang, her eyes crinkling into crescents with a fiery glint in them.

I was so angry that my butt didn't even hurt anymore.

She went straight to Li Mingyang's other side, pretended to look at the comic in Li Mingyang's hand, and said sarcastically, "It's so ugly, haha."

Kim Sae-ron's smile froze instantly, and she looked somewhat at a loss.

"This is a comic book style. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand," Li Mingyang said coldly.

Juanjuan hummed in agreement twice and smiled sweetly, indicating that she understood.

"The drawing is good, very girly, the white space is just right, and the writing skills are also very strong. I'm sure many people will like it if it's published online... However, this story is not long, and the structure is too simple. It only has the girl's imagination and a cat. There is no male protagonist and no friends." When Li Mingyang spoke to Jin Sae-ron, he had a different face, gentle and affirmative, speaking softly.

Juanjuan's eyes widened. "Ah! You're not...you're so hypocritical! You're so gentle with her, but you hit and scold me!"

"Thank you for your encouragement, brother. I will do my best!" Kim Sae-ron jumped up, clenched her fists, and said firmly.

"Please, you're all grown up, acting like a child is disgusting."

Kim Sae-ron's teasy demeanor was so infuriating that even a little anger couldn't be contained, and she unleashed a full-blown taunt.

"Why are you scolding me? What did I do to offend you? I'm thirteen years old, just a child."

"You're thirteen? You're lying!" Juanjuan's eyes widened as she looked you up and down. "You're only 1.6 meters tall, and with heels you're almost 1.7 meters! And you're telling me you're thirteen!"

"I'm not lying, I really am thirteen years old."

“Brother Mingyang, she’s lying through her teeth, aren’t you going to do anything about it? If you can’t bear to spank her, I will!” Juanjuan said, running over and raising her hand to hit the little slut.

Before she could even make a move, Li Mingyang grabbed her hand. "She's just a fast grower. She was born in 00, two years younger than you. Xiao Jin should call her 'sister'."

"Hello, sister."

Juanjuan was unconvinced and was about to attack Kim Sae-ron's squinty eyes when she heard Li Mingyang say, "This is my god-sister from Korea, Kim Sae-ron. Watch your words in the future."

Juanjuan was on the verge of tears. She also wanted to be Zhang Ruonan's god-sister. If it were Zhang Ruonan, she might be in a better position.

She was filled with resentment when a girl who was plain-looking and had no redeeming qualities except for her rapid growth spurt beat her to it!
Juanjuan's mind raced, and she was about to seize the opportunity to become a godbrother.

My mom's voice rang out, "Are you Xiaomi?"

Kim Sae-ron nodded.

"You've grown up so fast! In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big." Juanjuan's mother loved her daughter so much that she looked at Xiaomi with even more affection than she would her own daughter.

Kim Sae-ron brushed a stray hair behind her ear and glanced at her brother.

"This auntie is this older sister's mother. Auntie, it's been a long time."

"Director Li, you're getting more and more handsome and younger!" Juanjuan's mother said flatteringly.

"Let's skip the formalities. You've come here to seek justice for Juanjuan," Li Mingyang said with a smile.

"Oh, what are you saying! I'd love for someone to keep her in line. Director Li did a great job educating her! I came here specifically to thank you. Juanjuan is always so disrespectful. When I say something to her, she takes advantage of her ability to earn money and tries to sever our mother-daughter relationship... Sigh... I don't know what sins I committed in my past life."

Juanjuan's vision went black. What a terrible day!

Mom, how could you say that to me?! I'm your own daughter! Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public!
"Haha! Auntie, you're such a good mother."

……

Li Mingyang hadn't expected Juanjuan's mother to be so understanding and righteous.

Li Mingyang speaks like a ghost when he encounters a ghost, and like a human when he encounters a human.

Since Juanjuan's mother was so easy to talk to, Li Mingyang got straight to the point and suggested that Juanjuan stay in China to study instead of going to the United States.

Although she has a higher starting point now, the possibility of her turning into a Brazilian steak is very low.

But there are some.

Rather than going abroad to become a Brazilian steak, she'd rather stay by his side and be a Brazilian steak herself. Li Mingyang hasn't beaten her enough yet.

That's cool!

Good girls have their own kind of loveliness and gentleness, and they remain faithful to their partners.

Bad girls have their charm too. When you bully them, you can stand on the moral high ground and slap them, it feels so good!

“Director Li, Juanjuan is still young. I want her to go out and broaden her horizons. The higher her horizons, the greater the heights she can reach in the future…” Juanjuan’s mother said.

"Is altitude more important, or money? This is a multiple-choice question, you can only have one, you can't have both. If you choose altitude, you won't have money."

"That's not contradictory!"

"I don't want to explain; just state your choice."

Juanjuan's mother wanted to talk about money, but she was worried that she would seem too materialistic and treat her daughter like a money-making machine. She was torn.

"Brother, I'll choose the money!" Since Mom wasn't going to help, Juanjuan did it herself.
