You've all been reborn, who are you?

"You've been idle at home for years, how dare you lay a hand on your wife?"

Director He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I didn't mean to."

Jian Yu replied, "That was intentional."

Director He, “No, no, I was so happy that you agreed to invest in my movie that I had a few drinks yesterday. When she got home and saw that I was drunk, she got angry. I pushed her, and she bumped into the table. In her anger, she hit me. I was drunk and didn’t have any strength in my arms and legs, so I didn’t have a chance to fight back.”

Touching his face, Director He was both surprised and angry, and also felt guilty.

Jian Yu, “…” So you do know how to feel guilty?

Director He, "Ms. Jian Yu, are you sure you want to invest?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll have my team come over."

"You have a team?"

Jian Yu thought Director He was quite shabby.

Director He said, "I gathered them all together yesterday. We haven't worked together for several years, but our chemistry is definitely still there."

Jian Yu, "You were drinking with them yesterday?"

Director He nodded.

"Then let's get started! Do you have a preferred production company?"

Can I specify?

"of course can."

Director He, “I actually do have one.”

"Okay. You'll be in charge of all of this."

Director He excitedly grasped Jian Yu's hand, "The producer and planner will be here soon. You can make any requests you have. I can arrange a new role for An Ke from last time, but it's not an important one. Is that alright?"

Jian Yu said, "No need. Just do things the way you always have. Don't add any irrelevant people and ruin the film's structure."

Director He became even more excited.

In the past, when making movies, there wasn't a single investor who didn't make demands.

There are also many actors who request more scenes.

He was unwilling to compromise, which is why he was sidelined for so many years.

Unexpectedly, the first person to let him take the plunge was the youngest investor.

Director He felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He rarely hesitated, saying, "I'll try my best to stay close to the market and make money for you."

"The decision-making power is entirely yours. How you shoot it is up to you. I won't interfere."

"Okay, okay, I've already chosen the filming location. Although it's remote, the price isn't high. As for the actors, I've decided to use newcomers for all but a few specific roles, so the salaries won't cost much."

"can."

"The most expensive part of this movie is the marketing and distribution costs during its release."

"Okay. By the way, this is Lin Beichen. Could he learn screenwriting from you?"

Director He is happy to do anything as long as it doesn't interfere with his creative process.

Before the producer arrived, Director He put his sunglasses on again.

The producer was utterly astonished when he saw the horribly disfigured lower half of his face. "What happened?"

Director He said, "I was drunk yesterday and fell."

Jian Yu, Lin Beichen, and Hu Xiu all lowered their eyes at the same time, as if to cover for Director He.

The producer said, "You were really careless."

Director He said, "I drank too much, and my legs and feet felt weak and unsteady. I can't drink like that again."

The producer said, "I remember you had a good alcohol tolerance. How could you drink so much to get yourself so drunk?"

Director He smiled and said, "Please sit down, let me introduce you. This is President Jian Yu."

"Nice to meet you!"

His eyes quickly swept over Jian Yulin, Bei Chen, and Hu Xiu. "I'd heard of you guys before, but never had the chance to meet you. Seeing you today, I understand why everyone on variety shows likes you so much. You guys are so good-looking even without makeup."

Hu Xiu secretly rolled his eyes.

Jian Yu happened to see it, and he used the excuse of drinking tea to hide the smile on his face.

After a long discussion, the producers reached a preliminary consensus and then produced a contract template.

Jian Yu took it and said, "I'll go back and look into it. If there are no problems, we can make another appointment."

The producer suggested, "I'll book a private room so we can have a drink and chat."

Jian Yu stood up. "Next time!"

The producer stopped him, saying, "Next time is next time, this time is this time. How can we let you go back like this? You have to finish your meal before you leave."

Lin Beichen and Hu Xiu rarely deal with people in the business world, but they are aware of the drinking culture.

“Jian Yu, we can have a meal together. If you want to drink, let Hu Xiu do it for you. He can easily drink two jin of baijiu.”

Hu Xiu didn't want to drink with the producer at all, but he said, "Okay."

Jian Yu insisted, "Next time! I have something to do."

Producer: "What's up?"

Jianyu: "Go pick someone up."

The producer said, "Then let him come along!"

Jian Yu replied, "No, thank you."

With that said, he walked out.

Lin Beichen and Hu Xiu quickly followed.

After leaving the teahouse, Jian Yu called Huo Tingzhen, "What did you mean by what you just sent? What do you mean by asking when I'll let your brother go back to the company? Hasn't your brother been working overtime at the company all this time?"

Huo Tingzhen scratched his head. "No! My brother accompanied you to the hospital for your checkup that day and hasn't come to the company since."

"..."

Jian Yu turned around, and George subconsciously took a step back. "What's wrong?"

Where is your eldest son?

"Aren't you at the company?"

It seems they don't know.

Jian Yu called Uncle Li, but Uncle Li didn't know what was going on either.

Jian Yu found Huo Qizhen's location through his location tracking, and it turned out to be far overseas.

"Overseas?" Huo Tingzhen exclaimed. "My dad?"

"That's possible."

If it's related to Huo An, Jian Yu doesn't intend to ask any more questions.

Huo Tingzhen couldn't help but call and question him directly, "You saw Dad?"

Huo Qizhen: "Yes."

"What about others?"

"It's been sent to the island."

"Should we move him to another place?"

"It's okay, he can't escape now."

"???" Huo Tingzhen, "What if?"

"Let's leave it at that, as long as there are no 'what ifs'."

Before Huo Tingzhen could speak again, Huo Qizhen hung up the phone.

At dinner time, Huo Qizhen had a phone chat with Jian Yu on time.

Jian Yu said, "You haven't been home for several days."

Huo Qizhen said, "This project is too important. We can't be careless at all. I'll go back after I finish this in a few days."

Jian Yu didn't speak, but looked deeply into Huo Qizhen's eyes, and after a moment, said, "Hmm."

Almost at the same moment the call ended, Hu Xiu said, "Who is this person? You're so worried that you can't even eat properly."

Lin Beichen was also worried about Jian Yu, "Mr. Huo will be fine once he's done with this busy period, so don't overthink it."

"Mr. Huo?" Hu Xiu asked, "Is he your boyfriend? Did he lie to you?"

Lin Beichen held Hu Xiu down, "Don't talk nonsense."

Turning to Jian Yu, she said, "Don't be angry."

Jian Yu said, "I'm not angry, I'm worried."

Hu Xiu, "You're saying pretty much the same thing!"

Jian Yu didn't explain further. Huo An had been dealt with, but Huo Qizhen hadn't returned yet. He wondered if he had encountered some trouble.

As we left the restaurant, we could see Director He, bundled up tightly, walking side by side with the producer, who looked slightly tipsy.

Unexpectedly, they were eating next door. Jian Yu said, "Let's go!"

Just as they were about to get into the car, they suddenly heard the producer shout. Jian Yu and the others turned around and saw the producer being pushed by a woman.

The producer was already unsteady on her feet, and after being pushed, her high heels tipped, and she fell to the ground.

Director He went to help the woman, but was pushed into a flower bed by her.

"bang bang bang"

A series of slamming sounds followed by a woman's accusation, "So, you had a face full of color and you still insisted on going out? Oh, it's a date, huh?"

"..."

Good heavens, caught in the act of adultery?!
