At this moment, Wen Yao was unaware of the plans that the father and daughter were plotting.

She had just returned to Hefeng Villa when she received a call from Cheng Chen.

Logically, he should still be filming right now.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Chairman Wen, are you free for lunch tomorrow? Let's have lunch together."

Cheng Chen is not the kind of person who would hold a dinner party for no reason.

"What difficulties did you encounter during filming?"

An awkward laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, there is a point. The script is already half-filmed, but the funding is almost gone."

"But Chairman Wen, don't worry. Since filming began, the crew has been working every day. Several times we've taken the entire crew by plane to the grasslands for location shooting, which is why the funds have been used up so quickly."

Cheng Chen explained it to her again, but the money was not a problem for Wen Yao.

"It's okay. The previous investment wasn't much to begin with. I'll transfer another 100 million to the finance department. You can spend the money without worry. If it's not enough, just come to me."

Wen Yao speaks with extraordinary boldness.

Cheng Chen was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He had originally planned to personally find a high-end restaurant to treat Wen Yao to a good meal, arrange some other projects, and then talk about investment after he had convinced Wen Yao of his intentions.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Wen."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yao notified the group's finance department about the matter and transferred another 100 million yuan to the production team.

[Ding! Mission alert! The host needs to spend 5000 million on the movie "Escape from Earth". Mission time limit: 5 days.]

I had just finished notifying the finance department when I heard the system notification. The task was still to spend money for the film crew.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Does the 100 million that was just transferred count?"

[Of course not. Besides, this task needs to be completed within five days. Even if you transfer all the money to Cheng Chen, can you guarantee that Cheng Chen will spend it all within five days?]

Wen Yao suddenly realized that the money had to be used for the production team within five days, and if the money was given directly to the director, the fifty million would definitely not be used up within five days.

Wen Yao happened to have nothing else to do during this time, so she planned to go to Hengdian tomorrow to see if there was anything worth spending money on.

The filming location for "Escape from Earth" is in a county in Haicheng called Hengdian County.

That evening, Wen Yao bought two high-speed rail tickets to Hengdian County, planning to take Tang Zhen with her the next day.

After one night, I packed my bags and set off.

As soon as they got off the high-speed train, someone came to pick them up.

"Miss Wen, Miss Tang, I'm a production assistant from the film crew."

As he spoke, he took out a work badge from his bag.

"Director Cheng asked me to pick you two up. I'll take you to the filming location."

Then, he took their luggage and led the way. After they exited the station, a minivan was waiting for them.

About twenty minutes later, we arrived at the filming location.

From afar, Wen Yao spotted Xu Si'an suspended by wires. He was completely absorbed in the scene and had no idea that Wen Yao had arrived.

"Sister Tang Zhen, Chairman, what brings you here?"

Lin Xian, dressed in a theatrical costume and holding a script, approached Wen Yao and the others.

"I thought I was seeing things when I first saw you. Are you here to see Brother An?"

Lin Xian played a supporting role in this drama, but she had quite a lot of screen time.

Before setting off, the company arranged an assistant for Lin Xian. After all, it was not safe for a girl like her to come to the county to film alone. However, Lin Xian did not have much money and could not even afford to rent a nanny van. So when she was not filming, she could only sit on the small stool she brought with her.

"No, Tang Zhen and I came to check on the progress. By the way, do you have any work to do today?"

Lin Xian shook her head

"I've finished filming all my scenes today, and I'm just waiting for the crew to wrap up so I can go back to the hotel with them."

For minor actresses like Lin Xian, getting back to the hotel requires taking the crew's bus.

Wen Yao looked at her with a somewhat bitter expression.

"Why don't you and your assistant rent a car together? The company will reimburse you."

They're still our own artists, after all.

Lin Xian smiled

"It's alright, Chairman. There are many artists more experienced than me who don't even have cars."

Lin Xian wasn't pretentious at all.

"Lin Xian, since you're free today, why don't you come with us and show us around Hengdian?"

Wen Yao also wanted to find out where she could spend the money.

Lin Xian nodded, told her assistant to wait for her on set, and then left with Wen Yao and the others.

"Chairman, Hengdian is actually just an ordinary small county town with very few entertainment venues. Apart from the tourism industry being a bit developed, it's no different from other county towns."

Wen Yao became interested after hearing the words "tourism industry".

"Tourism? Then the cost of living here must be very high."

Lin Xian nodded

"It is indeed very expensive. A cup of milk tea in an unknown milk tea shop costs twenty or thirty yuan."

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the entrance of a milk tea shop. Lin Xian pointed to the milk tea shop called "Tuntun Milk Tea" and said...

"Chairman, this milk tea shop is really good. Let me treat you to some milk tea."

The milk tea shop that Lin Xian pointed to looked quite ordinary and couldn't compare to the chain milk tea shops in the city. There was an electric scooter parked in front of it, and the storefront was a roller shutter door. It seemed to be a milk tea shop run by a local resident.

"It's really delicious, better than any milk tea I've ever had in the city."

Under Lin Xian's strong recommendation, Wen Yao was tempted, and the three of them went into the milk tea shop together.

The interior of the milk tea shop has a trendy Instagram-worthy style, which is quite different from the exterior. There is also a photo corner inside the shop, and the wall is covered with photos of the owner with various celebrities.

Moreover, the interior is very spacious, and the milk tea making machines are comprehensive. There are two floors in total, with the upstairs being a resting area for customers.

"Welcome to Tun Tun Milk Tea. What would you like to order?"

Behind the bar was a middle-aged woman, with at least ten waiters standing around her.

Lin Xian volunteered to take out her phone.

"Chairman, Sister Tang Zhen, please choose whatever you like. I've tried many of the milk teas from this shop, and they all taste great. Today, it's my treat."

Wen Yao smiled.

"You haven't even started earning money since you joined the company, how can I let you treat me? Put your phone away, I'll treat you. I'll treat not only you but also the entire crew to milk tea."

Lin Xian was a little surprised. This was her first time going in, and she had never experienced treating the whole group to milk tea before.

Moreover, although she has been with the company for a long time, she has been receiving a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan and has not yet started earning money on her own.

She simply couldn't afford to hire the entire crew.
