On her way home, Fang Ruoxi opened the system panel and received the reward from "Unexpected".

【Reward Settlement】

[With the successful release of "Unexpected" (《万万意外》), achievements are unlocked: Rising Star in Film and Television, Script Column Experience +500.]

[The popularity of "Unexpected" among netizens has unlocked the achievement: Rising Star of Comedy, Script Column Experience +1000]

These two achievements directly upgraded the [Script Column] from Lv1 to Lv2.

Fang Ruoxi got a new script, "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Because "Unexpected" has not yet been filmed, the work has not been rated.

I did not receive this part of the reward.

But, enough is enough.

Fang Ruoxi opened the system and quickly browsed through "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

She's an expert in the entertainment industry.

Almost at first glance, Fang Ruoxi was certain that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would be a huge hit.

This one series alone can bring Lighthouse Entertainment exceptionally high profits.

She was confident that with just this one drama, Lighthouse would be able to establish itself in the film and television industry.

So Fang Ruoxi stayed up all night and rushed to finish "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The next morning, at 7:56 a.m., she sent the script she had just finished to Director Zhou.

Director Zhou probably hasn't gotten up yet, so he hasn't replied.

Zhang Xiaomeng has already called the makeup artist.

She looked at Fang Ruoxi, whose face looked somewhat haggard, with some concern.

"Ruoxi, did you not get enough rest?"

The Zou family is in trouble. Zou Rong has been detained in T country, and even Zhang Xiaomeng, who is usually very easygoing, is suffering from insomnia.

Fang Ruoxi came out of the bathroom and took a shower, which dispelled much of her fatigue, but there were still some dark circles under her eyes.

What I said yesterday wasn't just empty talk.

Even if Zou Jiahai Shipping goes bankrupt, she can still give Zou Rong a 'cultural and entertainment empire' in return.

Although she looked haggard, her eyes were bright and she had an indescribable drive.

"It's nothing, don't overthink it."

Fang Ruoxi sat in front of the dressing table, on which sat the invitation from the Zhang family.

The makeup artist was amazed by Fang Ruoxi's flawless natural face.

"Ms. Fang, what kind of makeup would you like?"

Fang Ruoxi glanced down at the invitation on the table, then looked at herself in the mirror, "Battle gear for going to the battlefield."

Makeup artist: "??"

Fang Ruoxi smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Kidding."

Do you know a female general?

The makeup artist nodded blankly, "That's the feeling we want, a female general about to go to the battlefield."

The makeup artist immediately perked up, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Hey! Leave it to me!"

Fang Ruoxi's face is simply a masterpiece of nature.

Even if a makeup artist intends to showcase their skills, adding a few more strokes always feels like 'gilding the lily'.

Unfortunately, despite the makeup artist's best efforts, the makeup session was only completed in about 10 minutes.

Looking at her face in the mirror—a face that could grace the cover of a top magazine without needing any Photoshop—the makeup artist awkwardly packed up her things, sighing:

"If everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry had Fang's background, we'd all be out of a job."

Zhang Xiaomeng loved hearing others praise her Ruoxi, and she would happily see them off.

But as soon as she returned, the girl's face fell again.

In her view, Fang Ruoxi was not going to the Zhang family for an appointment, but rather to attend a trap.

She was like a restless little hamster, circling around Fang Ruoxi as she picked out clothes.

"Ruoxi, are we really going?"

Fang Ruoxi took out a haute couture women's suit.

The white, haute couture fitted suit with a black, stylish lining has a neutral style that perfectly complements this slightly aggressive makeup look.

As she changed her clothes, she said, "I have to go this time."

Zhang Xiaomeng pressed for details, "Why? There's not a single good person in the Zhang family! Who knows what they're planning to do to you by calling you there!"

Fang Ruoxi straightened her clothes in front of the mirror.

The person in the mirror has cascading black hair, wears a pure white women's suit with a black lining.

Those sharply angled eyebrows altered her overly beautiful appearance, like the finishing touch that transformed a beauty into Athena in modern clothes.

"I must meet with the old lady who is in charge of the Zhang family," Fang Ruoxi said slowly, adjusting her sleeves.

Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes widened.

“Then—” Fang Ruoxi looked at herself in the mirror, and finally straightened her sleeves, and said, “Only then can we officially begin the war.”

……

One generation brings prosperity, two generations bring wealth, three generations bring prominence, four generations bring aristocratic families, and five generations bring powerful clans.

In the capital city, this statement is even more evident.

For example, the Blue Harbor where Fang Ruoxi is currently renting is a typical affluent area.

Famous celebrities and wealthy businessmen can stay here as long as they have the money.

But at the level of aristocratic families, they look down on such a 'mixed bag' place.

These families would "claim" land in the capital city.

Outside the inner city, some areas are built like royal gardens.

But there will be towering walls or imposing iron fences enclosing the stunning scenery.

In such places, there is often a sign on the gate that reads "Private Residence," reminding ordinary people that this is private property and trespassing is prohibited.

Even the most ordinary person's imagination cannot fathom the extravagant lifestyle of such people.

However, there are also people like this who deserve our respect.

Having been wealthy for five generations, they could be considered a "powerful clan" in the capital city.

The Chinese entertainment industry has a history of 396 years since the invention of the first phonograph, and the Zhang family, which started by making vinyl records, has been wealthy for five generations.

A limited-edition silver Bugatti and a black Maybach were parked downstairs.

After Fang Ruoxi went downstairs, she didn't look at the two luxury cars, but instead looked for the black Mercedes-Benz van that the company had provided for her.

The black Mercedes-Benz nanny was blocked at the very back. After Fang Ruoxi found the car, she was about to go over when she saw the headlights of the Bugatti closest to her flash.

The driver's side door opened, and a handsome man got out of the car, buttoned his suit jacket, and walked briskly and gracefully to Fang Ruoxi, blocking her way.

"Hello Ruoxi, I am Zhang Junyu."

The man calmly extended his hand, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and looked Fang Ruoxi up and down with his eyes slightly lowered.

Fang Ruoxi looked at the road blocked by the hand, and at the hand that had suddenly been extended in front of her.

"Hello."

"Is there anything else?" Fang Ruoxi had no intention of shaking hands with the Zhang family member.

If nothing had happened to the Zou family, Fang Ruoxi would have been willing to give the Zhang family some face.

But the Zhang family's despicable methods disgusted her.

Love extends to everything connected to the family; so too does hatred. Fang Ruoxi disliked the Zhang family as much as she disliked the young master of the Zhang family in front of her.

Zhang Junyu was completely unprepared for Fang Ruoxi to refuse to shake his hand.

Zhang Junyu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of interest in his eyes. Without embarrassment, he withdrew his hand, turned gracefully to open the passenger door for Fang Ruoxi, and said:

"I've come to take you to the Zhang family. How about it, talented lady, would you do me the honor?"

Fang Ruoxi said calmly, "Sorry, we have a car."

Zhang Junyu touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, tapped the car door lightly with his fingers, and said humorously, "There are only 20 of these cars in the world. Wouldn't Miss Fang like to get in and experience the scenery from up there?"

Fang Ruoxi said calmly, "Mr. Zhang is a car enthusiast and enjoys the scenery up there."

"But I'm not a car enthusiast, so in my eyes this is just a car for getting around. I'm more used to the cars I'm used to riding in."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Junyu casually slammed the car door shut and smiled enigmatically, "Miss Fang has a very strong personality, which I like very much."

Fang Ruoxi frowned slightly, losing patience to continue talking to this young master of the Zhang family.

She turned and walked toward the black Mercedes van that was being blocked at the back by the Maybach.

Zhang Xiaomeng glared at Zhang Junyu, who was smiling 'malically'.

Zhang Junyu said to Fang Ruoxi's retreating figure, "Then, shall I deign to show Miss Fang the way?"

After saying that, he got into the limited edition Bugatti and started the engine.

Fang Ruoxi got into the nanny's seat and said to the driver, "Just follow the two cars in front."

On the other side, in the luxury car, Zhang Junyu glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the person get into the 'shabby' Mercedes-Benz van, and clicked his tongue.

"A beautiful woman in a luxury car, what a pity."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a phone call came in.

He glanced at the number and answered the call.

From the car's audio system came Zhang Hanyu's seemingly casual question, "Brother, did you pick them up? How was it?"

Zhang Junyu, with one hand on the steering wheel, savored Fang Ruoxi's 'high-class face' and her indifferent attitude towards him, and smiled, "It suits my taste quite well."

Zhang Hanyu immediately retorted, "You're not my second uncle! You're the rightful heir of the Zhang family. It's fine to play around with an actress like that, but marrying her would make you a laughingstock."

Zhang Junyu said dismissively, "Once she's married, we can just let her retire from the entertainment industry and stay home to be a good wife and mother."

Zhang Hanyu: "..."
