Chapter 67, Avenging Second Sister!

"what happened?"

"Shengnan, do you know Director Kong?"

Chen Huan looked at Zhang Shengnan with suspicion, her heart pounding. Could it be that Kong Sanmin had tried to sexually harass Shengnan before?
Kong Sanmin is indeed famous, but he is also known as a pervert. He has been divorced three times and is currently single, but he is never short of young and beautiful girls around him. Many of the actresses in his plays have read the script to him in the dark.

Zhang Shengnan has a very good appearance, so it's normal that Kong Sanmin coveted her.

"I don't know him. I'm just a small-time actor, and I've never had the chance to meet Director Kong."

Zhang Shengnan quickly shook her head.

Hearing her say that, Chen Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it was really as she guessed, then the cooperation would be really difficult to handle.

"Aunt Huan, is that so?"

Zhang Xian stepped forward and briefly recounted his second sister Zhang Shengnan's ordeal.

"Is there such a thing?"

Chen Huan frowned: "Sheng Nan, don't worry, I'll definitely help you get revenge!"

"Uh, thank you, Aunt Huan."

Zhang Shengnan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately thanked him. However, she also changed her address to "Aunt Huan" like Zhang Xian had done, at least that's how you should address someone, as it shows respect.

Chen Huan, of course, noticed the change in how the siblings addressed each other. She, who had always been called Sister Huan, was quite unaccustomed to suddenly becoming Aunt Huan.

However, Chen Huan, a woman with high emotional intelligence, immediately guessed why the two had changed their way of addressing each other, which was most likely because of Zhang Dongshan.

She had met Zhang Dongshan several times and could naturally sense that he was interested in her. However, Chen Huan had been heartbroken by a scumbag in her early years and had been focused on her career all these years, so she had no intention of finding a man.

However, as she got over 40, her thoughts on not getting married and not having children changed somewhat, and she began to soften her stance, especially when she saw children.

She used to find children annoying, but now she thinks they are cute. So she didn't resist Zhang Dongshan's overtures and thought she should just let things take their course.

The three chatted for a while longer, and then Zhang Dongshan, who had finished washing up and changed into a casual suit, came out of the house.

Despite being over fifty, he looks quite young because he has been working in the music industry and has a good attitude. He gives the impression of being in his forties. Now, after being carefully dressed, he really has a manly charm, the kind of "uncle" that young girls would like.

The family walked out of the alley and onto Wenjie M8.

Zhang Xian drove, with his father and Chen Huan sitting in the second row, his second sister Zhang Shengnan in the passenger seat, and Zhang Zhaodi in the third row.

Chen Huan and Kong Sanmin had arranged to sign the contract at 1:30 pm. The family had a quick lunch and were all starving!
After dinner, the group went to Kong Sanmin's "Yixin Film and Television". He is the largest shareholder of the company and has absolute say. The company's business revolves around him.

"This must be Old Zhang's son, Xiaoxian!"

"As expected, heroes have emerged from among the young throughout history! Yesterday, Xiao Chen said that 'The Song of Ordinary People' was written by a 22-year-old, and I couldn't believe it!"

Kong Sanmin warmly shook Zhang Xian's hand. He loved "Ordinary People's Song" so much that he admired Zhang Xian as well.

"Director Kong, I've long admired your name. I've seen every one of your films."

Zhang Xian also made a polite remark.

Chen Huan and Zhang Dongshan finalized the details of the collaboration with Kong Sanmin last night, and today they're here to sign the contract.

After chatting for a while, Kong Sanmin had someone bring over the prepared contract.

"Xiaoxian, Xiaochen, take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, sign it."

Kong Sanmin handed the contracts to Zhang Xian and Chen Huan respectively.

Actually, there's not much to see in these contracts; they're all standard contracts. At most, the revenue sharing ratio might be modified based on the agreement between the two parties after the theme song is released on the music platform.

However, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Xian still asked Kong Sanmin for an electronic copy of the contract and sent it to his fourth sister, Zhang Laidi. Since there was a lawyer in the family, Zhang Xian didn't need to worry about reviewing the contract himself.

After confirming that there were no problems with the contract, both parties signed it.

"Xiaoxian, my new drama is about to start filming. I'll send you a copy of the script later. See if you can write a few songs that fit the drama. If you can, I'd like to entrust you with the entire OST for the drama."

It's clear that Kong Sanmin is very satisfied with "Ordinary People's Song," and he even planned to continue the collaboration before "Golden Years" was released and viewers' feedback was received. "I'll do my best, but with creation, no one can predict the future."

Zhang Xian couldn't give a definite answer, after all, he also relied on his father's connections for a living.

"Director Kong, speaking of your new film, I have something to tell you."

At this moment, Chen Huan chimed in: "Is your new drama called 'Beautiful Rivers and Mountains'?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Kong Sanmin looked at Chen Huan with a suspicious expression.

"That's right, Xiaoxian's second sister, Shengnan."

Chen Huan pointed to Zhang Shengnan beside her and continued, "Shengnan passed your assistant director's interview before, and it was agreed that we would hire her, but then her boyfriend..."

Chen Huan recounted Zhang Shengnan's story in one go.

"Such a thing really happens??"

Kong Sanmin was shocked and looked at Zhang Shengnan: "What are your boyfriend's and that best friend's names?"

"Tian Zhenyu, Han Qiuying."

Zhang Shengnan announced the two people's names.

"I'll handle this."

As he spoke, Kong Sanmin picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Old Wan, there are two people, one named Tian Zhenyu and the other named Han Qiuying. Have you recruited them for the film crew?"

"Director Kong, these two people do exist. Do you know them?"

"It's about to open! Post another announcement in your groups: We will never cooperate again!"

"Ah? This"

"What, you took their money?"

"No, how could that be! I'll take care of it right away!"

The other party dared not hesitate any longer and quickly agreed.

Let me know when you're done.

After saying that, Kong Sanmin hung up the phone and then said to Zhang Shengnan with a big smile, "Shengnan, all the important roles in 'Beautiful Rivers and Mountains' have been cast and contracts have been signed. If you don't mind, you can play the role of Han Qiuying. In the next drama, I will arrange a more outstanding role for you."

"No problem, thank you Director Kong!"

"I will definitely perform well!"

Zhang Shengnan quickly nodded her thanks. She really didn't expect the other party to handle things so decisively. With just one sentence, the adulterous couple lost their jobs. Not only that, but they were also blacklisted by Kong Sanmin's Yixin Film and Television!
Although Yixin Film and Television's ban does not equate to a ban on the entire entertainment industry, Kong Sanmin's influence in the film and television industry is enormous. Other industry peers are unlikely to offend him for the sake of two relatively unknown individuals, so it is highly probable that they will not use them again.

Therefore, at least in the short term, it will be difficult for the two of them to get acting roles.

"Director Kong, thank you! I will definitely put my heart into your new film!"

Zhang Xian then stated that before coming, he only wanted Kong Sanmin to kick those two out of the crew, but Kong Sanmin added another tactic.

Not only did they kick him out of the production crew, they also issued a "blacklist"!
That's giving them plenty of face!

Zhang Xian couldn't help but admire Kong Sanmin and Chen Huan's social skills. Before coming, Zhang Xian originally planned to bring up his second sister's matter with Kong Sanmin before signing the contract, but Chen Huan said no, this matter should be discussed after signing the contract, because discussing it before signing the contract would have the connotation of "threat".

If you talk about it after signing the contract, it's just a matter of personal favors. Kong Sanmin is a typical big brother type, and this kind of thing can definitely be resolved if you talk to him.

As Chen Huan predicted, Kong Sanmin resolved the matter on the spot. His approach of resolving it by phone in person was a way of doing Zhang Xian and Chen Huan a favor that both of them would remember.

It was a very small matter, but Zhang Xian saw his own shortcomings in the two of them. They were truly old foxes in the entertainment industry. He, a newcomer, was still a long way from being a match for them!
