"Did you hear that, Director Liu? Even if it's just for her wallet, Yangyang won't stand you up."

Director Liu felt relieved and was even in the mood to joke around.

"Haha, if I had known you were such a money-grubber, I wouldn't have been so worried."

The main reason was that he had assumed that Yuan Yangyang, as an investor in the production team, wouldn't stand him up since she had agreed to play the role of "Xiang Pin." That's why he dared to release the news before even signing the contract, hoping to grab a wave of attention.

But when Yuan Yangyang didn't come to sign the contract, he started to get worried and began to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

He realized he had been thinking wrong all along.

As an investor, Yuan Yangyang might not be in it for the money at all, but simply out of curiosity, because she has plenty of money and is investing for fun.

A casual investment can net tens of millions, so they must be rolling in money.

They wouldn't possibly compromise themselves for a role; they might regret it now, not want to act anymore, and have stood him up.

All morning, two little voices were fighting in Director Liu's head, neither willing to give in, leaving him exhausted and worried all morning.

Only after seeing Yuan Yangyang in person did these worries subside.

Upon entering the lounge, the first thing Director Liu did was quickly place the pre-prepared contract in front of Yuan Yangyang.

Yuan Yangyang didn't hesitate and immediately signed her name.

Seeing Director Liu let out a heavy sigh of relief, Yuan Yangyang couldn't help but find it amusing.

Is it really necessary? Does she seem like a very dishonest person?

Even if you don't trust her character, you have to trust her financial integrity!

How stupid of her to turn down such a lucrative deal that would bring her both money and fame?

Moreover, she also wanted to see how Yuan Niaoniao would react if she knew that she had easily won the role that Yuan Niaoniao had tried so hard to get.

Their expressions must be priceless; just thinking about it makes me happy.

Director Liu carefully put the contract away, which gave him the energy to gossip about others.

"Have you seen the news? The Lan family has been significantly affected by the production team withdrawing its investment this time."

Director Liu leisurely sipped his tea, looking smug and gloating—it was really annoying.

"It is said that when CEO Lan learned that it was his mother and the eldest daughter of the Lan family who withdrew their investment behind his back, his face turned green, and he even threw a huge tantrum in his office."

"Xiao Lan is just unlucky. What good is her ability if she has such a family who only hold her back?"

"He must be kicking himself now!"

Yuan Yangyang immediately became interested and listened with her eyes shining.

She said there's a lot of gossip in the entertainment industry!

It's a place teeming with hidden talents, each one keeping their abilities secret.

Director Liu knows so much about what's going on in other people's offices. Sure enough, those who can make it in the entertainment industry are no ordinary people.

She said, "That's perfect. Maybe the Lan family will come and reinvest. Director Liu should seize the opportunity and squeeze them for a fortune."

Director Liu looked radiant, gazing at Yuan Yangyang as if she were some kind of God of Wealth.

He said, "It seems you don't know, Yangyang. Our fifth young master Yuan immediately added 50 million in investment as soon as he heard that Lan's Group was withdrawing its investment. He was quick, accurate and ruthless."

"Our production team is now well-funded and doesn't need any other investors."

Director Liu stood tall and proud, exuding an imposing aura.

Yuan Yangyang always felt that the other person had the same feeling as Yang Bailao overthrowing Huang Shiren and taking over the family.

Immediately, Yuan Yangyang looked at Yuan Si'an with shining eyes, her emotions a mixture of envy and jealousy.

[Holy crap, fifty million! That's the kind of wealth a rich person should have! Compared to him, my ten million is utterly worthless.]

[Waaaaah, jealousy is making me unrecognizable! Magic mirror, magic mirror on the wall, how can I become the richest person?!]

"puff!"

"Cough cough!" Yuan Si'an coughed repeatedly, choked by the fumes. He glanced helplessly at Yuan Yangyang, stood up, and handed the prepared items to her.

"Look, don't say that Fifth Brother doesn't love you."

Another contract.

Yuan Yangyang opened it, and the more she looked, the wider her eyes widened.

This is actually a 50 million investment contract.

It turns out that the additional 50 million yuan investment that Director Liu mentioned earlier, which Yuan Si'an added to the production team, was actually made in her name.

I've heard of free lunches, but I never imagined that investments could fall from the sky.

He repeatedly checked his own name, then looked at Yuan Si'an with shining eyes.

[That's so cool!]

"Ahem!" Yuan Si'an felt a little embarrassed by the stare and tried to make amends.

"Consider this a belated gift for our last meeting."

"Hurry up and sign, or I might change my mind."

Yuan Yangyang immediately covered the contract with both hands and pressed it tightly on the table.

Leaning forward, almost wanting to lie on top of it, she said, "No, there's no way to take back what's given away. Right now, I'll be quick!"

Yuan Yangyang solemnly signed her name on the contract and looked at it over and over again.

[I can't believe my wish to the magic mirror actually came true! 555, Magic Mirror, I'll love you the most from now on!]

Yuan Si'an: ...

You little heartless one!

Wasn't this investment a gift from me? What does it have to do with the Magic Mirror?

Is it too late for him to regret it now?

Lan family.

Mr. Lan suppressed his anger, which reached its peak when he saw Mrs. Lan and Lan Sitong.

He immediately reprimanded them, "Who gave you permission to interfere in the company's affairs? You even withdrew your investment from the production team behind my back! Do you know how much trouble you've caused me!"

Immediately, his anger turned to Lan Sitong, his face filled with disappointment and frustration.

"I can tolerate your usual reckless behavior, but there has to be a limit. You keep withdrawing your investment just because of the slightest dissatisfaction. What do you take the production crew for? Your punching bag? Or a toy for playing house?!"

Neither Lan's mother nor Lan Sitong escaped it.

Lan Sitong is alright; she's used to being scolded, so it doesn't bother her.

Lan's mother was used to being pampered, and her temper became increasingly arrogant.

This was the first time she had been scolded by Mr. Lan, and in front of so many servants, she immediately felt embarrassed.

She retorted, "I am, after all, the matriarch of the Lan family. Don't I even have the right to withdraw investment from a small film crew?"

"You always have such sweet words, but you turn on me the moment it matters. I've seen through you!"

As Lan's mother spoke, she felt wronged, and she complained while shedding tears.

“This home isn’t yours alone, and Sitong and I both have a share in the company. Why can’t I interfere?”

"You're my man, isn't your job to protect me from the wind and rain? Why don't you solve the problems instead of taking your anger out on us!"

Caught off guard by the yelling, Mr. Lan felt utterly exhausted as he listened to Mrs. Lan's complaints.

He always thought that Lan's mother was gentle, kind, and warm-hearted, but he never expected that she would also have such an unreasonable side.

What he considered to be fallacies were spoken with righteous indignation by Lan's mother.

Mr. Lan felt that Mrs. Lan might not yet realize the seriousness of the matter, so he patiently explained.

Unexpectedly, instead of gaining understanding and recognition, he heard even more absurd remarks.
