The transmigrated younger sister of a powerful figure in a novel is forced to become the beloved pet

"Director, my sister has caused you trouble. There is one thing I need to make clear: I was not aware of what she did today, nor did I support it."

"Director, you don't need to make things difficult for me, and you don't need to give me face."

Yuan Si'an looked serious and spoke sincerely, and Director Liu then realized that he had misunderstood him.

Before Director Liu could speak, Yuan Si'an continued to express his opinion.

"Everyone in the crew has put in a lot of effort for this drama, wanting to make it a good show and present the best work to the audience. I feel the same way, and I know the director feels the same way too."

“I have complete faith in your judgment, and I also believe that the director can find the most suitable actress for the role of ‘Xiang Pin’ in this drama.”

Yuan Si'an spoke from the heart, sincerely and without pretense.

Director Liu listened with great enthusiasm, feeling that Yuan Si'an was his soulmate and had spoken to his heart.

This drama was created from scratch, and he polished it bit by bit, just like his child.

To be honest, he didn't fancy either Yu Qili or Yuan Niaoniao.

Putting everything else aside, the two of them are not compatible in any way, whether in appearance or temperament.

I thought that sacrificing a character would be worthwhile so that the show could proceed smoothly.

But now, after listening to Yuan Si'an's words, he has completely changed his mind.

He doesn't want to give face to either the Lan family or the Yuan family.

What do you mean by "the flaws don't overshadow the merits"? Screw that!

He doesn't allow any flaws in his dramas.

Director Liu, brimming with enthusiasm, slammed his hand on the table and declared in front of everyone, "You understand me best. I must find the most suitable person for 'Consort Xiang'."

Then, she said to the people who had just been arguing, "None of you are the 'Fragrant Concubine' I want. Go back now."

Yuan Niaoniao's face had been so ugly it looked like she could eat someone ever since Yuan Si'an spoke up and tried to distance himself from her.

The resentment on her face made what was originally a pretty face look hideous.

Yu Qili also looked pale and quickly looked at Lan Sitong, hoping that she could put in a good word for her.

Lan Sitong's face turned ashen, feeling as if her dignity had been trampled to pieces.

Seeing that Director Liu was adamant, Lan Sitong vented her anger on him and threatened him.

"Director Liu, have you thought this through? Can you bear the consequences if the entire series is brought to a standstill because of one role?"

[Tch! What else can they do besides threaten people? It's just withdrawing investment, isn't it? Go ahead and withdraw if you dare, let's see if the Lan family is willing to let go.]

I remember this show later became a huge hit. It was originally a low-budget production, but the profits from its success were considerable, making many people envious.

[It was also with this drama that the Lan family's influence in the entertainment industry began to expand, eventually becoming a dominant force.]

[Opportunities like this don't come around often. If only I had money, I would definitely find a way to get Lan Sitong to withdraw her investment, then make money myself and break into the entertainment industry.]

Yuan Yangyang's words reminded Yuan Si'an, who assessed his savings and stepped forward to express his opinion.

"Director Liu, I have put a lot of effort into this drama, and I have high hopes for it. I will invest ten million yuan first. If anyone withdraws their investment, I will make up the difference."

"You! The Yuan family is really something, just you wait!" Lan Sitong said fiercely and stormed off.

Yu Qili followed closely behind.

Yuan Niaoniao spent half a day trying to get nothing, and ran out in anger.

Director Liu was overjoyed and held Yuan Si'an's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.

They couldn't wait to finalize the investment, afraid that the opportunity would slip away.

He completely forgot about Lan Sitong, not even sparing her a glance.

Yuan Si'an was not short of money to begin with, and once he decided to invest, he didn't delay for a moment.

The two were about to sign the contract on the spot, but Yuan Yangyang stopped them.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Yuan Si'an asked curiously, but didn't think much of it, assuming she had something to say.

After all, he learned from Yuan Yangyang's inner thoughts that the drama would be a huge hit, and Yuan Yangyang had no reason to stop him from making a profitable deal.

Director Liu was quite frightened, fearing that the investment he had just secured would be ruined.

"What I meant was, could I also invest ten million? If we make money, can we do it together?"

Yuan Yangyang chuckled, looking just like a recent college graduate—naive, innocent, and rich.

Director Liu was delighted.

He quickly had someone bring over another copy of the contract.

I thought to myself, "It's so good to be young, so innocent and carefree."

No wonder there are always people exploiting college students; now I finally understand why.

He doesn't even need to swindle them; they come rushing to give him money. If he doesn't fleece you, who will?

Although he was confident in his drama, he believed that the production quality of a drama was not necessarily linked to its commercial value.

Whether the show will become a hit or make money is anyone's guess.

But young people should always be given opportunities to grow; consider it tuition.

Director Liu accepted the money without feeling guilty or burdened at all.

Yuan Yangyang held the signed contract, grinning widely, her back teeth almost showing.

Just couldn't see it.

"You like money that much?" Yuan Si'an asked.

"I love it!" Yuan Yangyang's eyes crinkled into a smile, leaving only a slit.

Of course! Who doesn't like money? How am I supposed to run away if I don't have any?

Yuan Si'an was about to transfer money to Yuan Yangyang when he heard this, and he stopped typing his password.

This money isn't something that absolutely has to be transferred.

She seems quite happy now, so there's no need to transfer any more money.

I don't want to repeat my mistakes, ending up homeless and ultimately killed by Yuan Niaoniao's henchmen.

Yuan Si'an: ...

Silently, I took out my phone and entered the complete password.

If money can bring Yangyang a sense of security, why not give it to her? He's not short of money at all.

As for running away, let's forget about it.

How silly! What if you leave home and get bullied?

He'd better stay put.

After running out, Yuan Niaoniao stopped in an open space and kicked the pebbles on the ground to vent her dissatisfaction.

"Ouch!" Wu Anran clutched her aching forehead, wincing in pain.

Yuan Niaoniao was startled, not expecting to find someone in such a remote place.

Looking up, she realized it was Wu Anran, who had been scared away by Yuan Yangyang's two words. She quickly ran over and said, "Are you alright? I didn't mean to."

"Hiss! It's nothing, it'll be fine after a while."

Wu Anran lowered his hand, and Yuan Niaoniao noticed that there was a red mark on his forehead. In just a short while, it had swelled up, indicating that the injury was quite serious.

"What should I do? You still have to film in a while, right? It's all my fault, I've dragged you into this."

Yuan Niaoniao was terrified that Yuan Si'an would find out about this, so she kept apologizing and saying nice things.

"It's okay, I understand you're in a bad mood. Just let it out." Wu Anran spoke up at the right time, showing great understanding.

Seeing that the other party did not show any aversion, Wu Anran continued.

"I was the same way before. I was clearly misunderstood, but my tongue-tied problem kicked in, and I couldn't explain myself at all. In the end, I had to run away in a panic."

"I feel ashamed of myself."
