Ruan Mianmian was skeptical, so she went to watch the playback herself, made changes based on her directing knowledge, and went back to act it out twice more before it finally passed.

He then said to Tang You, "Sister, this is a do-or-die situation for us, we have to make sure it's a good shoot."

Tang You said with a serious expression, "I really can't see any difference between these two times and the first time."

Ruan Mianmian: "..."

After a moment of silence, she continued acting.

Filming on Blue Star is generally not done in sequence, but Ruan Mianmian didn't have any co-stars, so there was no need to coordinate the time, there were no outdoor scenes, and there was no need to move around to film scenes in one go. Therefore, she filmed directly in sequence.

To save money, Ruan Mianmian did not leave the filming location during lunch and dinner. Instead, she ate the meals delivered by the lifelike robot in her room and immediately continued filming.

After dinner, she didn't go home immediately but stayed to work overtime.

A room that's available for a week, day and night, should certainly be used to its fullest potential!

Tang You could have gone back, but seeing how hard Ruan Mianmian was working, she stayed behind: "I'll suffer with you."

Ruan Mianmian shook her head frantically: "No need. If you can rest, then rest quickly. If it's enough for one person to be tired, then let's just let one person be tired." Seeing that Tang You refused to leave, she glared at her: "Go back quickly, otherwise I won't stay up with you after I finish filming."

Tang You had no choice but to turn back.

Ruan Mianmian filmed until after 10 p.m. before sneaking back to the mall to rest in the flying car she bought from Sun Qian.

Why do we say "stealthily"?

Because driving recklessly here requires a license, and currently no one has obtained one, not only will the car be impounded, but a fine will also be imposed if caught. Therefore, everyone is driving extremely carefully.

Ruan Mianmian has already sent Gu Shi to practice driving. Since there are virtual scenes similar to filming a movie, he can decide how much he learns each day. However, he is still practicing and hasn't gotten his license yet, so he is being extra careful when driving.

The next morning, before dawn, Ruan Mianmian set off again to take photos.

Around noon, the humanoid robot that delivers meals didn't arrive; instead, Professor Zhao came with three other people.

Ruan Mianmian glanced over and saw the man in the middle who looked like a peacock. It was none other than Situ Kongbo, the infamous playboy she had seen online before.

Professor Zhao stepped forward and said, "Mianmian, this is Mr. Situ. He said he wanted to invest in our TV series. We declined, but he still insisted on seeing you, so I brought him here."

Seeing Professor Zhao's helpless expression, Ruan Mianmian knew he had no choice but to bring the person over. She nodded and looked at Situ Kongbo: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Situ Kongbo has kept many female celebrities as mistresses and has also encountered many ordinary beauties on the street. He has long been skilled at flaunting his charms when he sees a beautiful woman. However, when he saw Ruan Mianmian, he forgot to speak and just stared at her blankly.

He knew from the photo that she was a great beauty, but after seeing her in person, he realized that she was not only beautiful, but also full of spirit, especially her peach blossom eyes, which were so bright and affectionate that they were like the largest and deepest lake in the universe, capable of drowning any man.

Hearing the beauty's question, he felt a flush rise to his face for some reason. He quickly composed himself and looked at Ruan Mianmian with eyes that seemed to be electrified, as if reciting an aria: "Ah, my dear Mianmian, your beauty is beyond my expectations! I have seen the most beautiful flowers in the depths of the universe, as well as the most dazzling nebulae and auroras, but I think none of them compare to you."

To save money, Ruan Mianmian had started working overtime late into the night, so she didn't have time to waste with this playboy. She immediately said, "Please state your purpose."

"Ah, beautiful lady, your boredom and indifference disappoint me." Situ Kongbo's handsome face revealed a hint of disappointment and grievance at the right moment. He used this trick to his advantage. No matter what kind of woman she was, she would always be defeated by his performance.

This time, when he performed, his eyes were fixed on Ruan Mianmian, wanting to see her back down.

However, being adept at reading people's expressions, he saw Ruan Mianmian's impatient look.

How is this going?

She was heartbroken to see how handsome I was, so why did she not only not feel sorry for me, but also look disgusted with me?

In that instant, Situ Kongbo began to doubt his own charm.

Ruan Mianmian didn't have time to play the game of "you look at me, I look at you" with him, and once again spoke with great impatience: "If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and get back to work. Excuse me."

Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was about to leave, Situ Kongbo immediately said, "Wait—I am Situ Kongbo, the investor and male lead candidate who contacted you before. I think we should talk about cooperation."

Ruan Mianmian stopped and turned around: "Is this what you're talking about? If we haven't made things clear before, then let me make it clear again. We don't plan to hire actors, nor do we plan to raise funds. Also, thank you for your support, but we really don't need it."

This was the first time Situ Kongbo had encountered such an unyielding beauty. He paused for a moment before saying, "Not only can I invest, but my Situ family also has a certain influence on major media outlets. Even if we don't, our network of connections can help us get things done. So, I don't think you should refuse me."

As he spoke, a hint of reserve and pride lingered on his handsome face.

This is the power of super-rich families; they can change the landscape with a mere wave of their hand, making them far more powerful than ordinary people can imagine.

Ruan Mianmian said calmly, "I hope there will be opportunities to collaborate when the TV series is released."

Seeing that she seemed not to understand his hint and still refused to back down, Situ Kongbo became somewhat annoyed: "You are so beautiful, you shouldn't be a fool. I believe you understand what I mean. I hope you will think carefully about how to answer me."

After speaking, he took a step back and glanced at the two people beside him.

The two men snapped out of their shock and quickly took out tables, chairs, and fruits from their storage space. They then raised a parasol and invited Situ Kongbo to sit down.

Ruan Mianmian was also annoyed. She felt that these rich men were brainless, always bursting with self-confidence, and she felt that she had no reason not to like them.

In fact, she just doesn't like it, she just hates it, she just doesn't want to be around it. How can she explain it to everyone?

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Mianmian said, "I—"

Professor Zhao suddenly spoke up: "Mianmian, why don't we discuss this matter?"

Ruan Mianmian knew that Professor Zhao had something to say to her, so she said "Excuse me" to Situ Kongbo and went to the side to talk with Professor Zhao.

Professor Zhao said in a low voice, "This Mr. Situ is essentially a shareholder of several major cinema chains and video websites. If he wants to suppress our show, it will be difficult for us to make money. In my opinion, it would be better to let them invest, and then let them use their resources to promote our show vigorously?"

Ruan Mianmian thought for a moment and asked, "What if he insists on participating?"
