She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Before Fang Li could ask any more questions, the other party hung up the phone.

Fang Li's drowsiness vanished instantly, and she became wide awake.

She jumped up, held the phone up to her eyes, and looked at the name of the production crew in the contact list. Only then did she realize it was real and not a scam.

But wasn't Yu Wei also vying for the lead role in this drama?

According to Tian Chen, the final decision on this role depends on Song Yuchen's attitude. Song Yuchen and Yu Wei have signed a CP (couple pairing) contract, and Yaoxing is also advocating for the role to be given to Yu Wei...

Why would he give it to her?

Fang Li couldn't understand it.

Just then, another call came in on my phone.

Fang Li picked it up and glanced at it, only to find that it was a call from Qu Fan, the company's agent.

Qu Fan is Yaoxing's most capable agent and a veteran in the entertainment industry, wielding considerable influence within the circle.

He has many artists under his management, and Fang Li is just one of them.

Normally, minor artists like Fang Li, who don't have much success, are handled by his assistant, and he rarely contacts them directly.

Thinking about the notification she had just received, Fang Li had a vague guess in her heart.

Fang Li answered: "Brother Qu."

After a couple of seconds of noise on the other end, silence returned. Qu Fan's cold, slightly impatient voice came through: "Where are you?"

Fang Li pursed her lips and truthfully replied, "I'm in Haicheng."

"Haicheng?" Qu Fan's voice suddenly rose: "How come I don't remember you having any Haicheng appearances recently? Fang Li, you've been with the company for almost three years, haven't you ever thought about why people who joined at the same time as you, or even newer employees who joined later than you, are more popular than you?"

Fang Li remained silent.

Qu Fan: "Although artists' working hours are relatively flexible, you shouldn't leave Hangzhou without even saying goodbye. I don't care what method you use, you must be back before tonight."

"Tonight is the first dinner before you start filming your new movie. Director Feng, Producer Wang, and several investors will be there. You, as the lead actress, better not let me down!"

Fang Li let him finish speaking before replying calmly, "I'm sorry, I can't come back tonight."

"What did you say?!"

"Brother Qu, perhaps you are right. I am indeed not very suitable for working in the entertainment industry. I mentioned the termination of my contract to President Lin a couple of days ago, and I will go back to the company to complete the formalities in a few days."

"So, I'll have to trouble you to find someone else to take on the role of the female lead in the new movie. I won't cause any more trouble for Brother Qu in the future. Thank you for taking care of me over the past few years."

Qu Fan was still somewhat incredulous even after the phone call ended.

He put away his phone and looked at Song Yuchen, whose face was gloomy, next to him. "What do we do now?"

Song Yuchen gripped the wine glass tightly in his hand, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing his expression, Qu Fan looked helpless: "Judging from Fang Li's tone, she seems determined this time. You asked me to help you test her, and I did. Shouldn't you give up now?"

"When will she come back?"

Qu Fan: "They said in a couple of days."

Song Yuchen turned to look at him: "Then I'll trouble Brother Qu to help me postpone it for two more days. I promised to save this role for her, and I want to ask her in person if she still wants it."

"Yu Chen, the company's message is very clear. There's still a lot of negative information about you and Yu Wei online. This role will only bring the greatest benefit to you and the company if it's given to Yu Wei. What's the point of you bearing the pressure and waiting for Fang Li to come back? What will you do if she changes her mind?"

Song Yuchen: "Don't worry, Brother Qu, I won't make things difficult for you. I... just need her to change her mind."

Over the years, although he kept her hanging on because he was worried that confirming their relationship too early would affect his career, he considered himself to have been quite generous to her.

They never skimped on gifts for holidays and festivals.

Even in a highly competitive and expensive city like Hangzhou, they still rented her a high-end apartment so she could use it.

She could distance herself from him because of Yu Wei, but she understood what the role of the female lead in the new movie meant. He didn't believe she could give up this opportunity to become a huge star and surpass Yu Wei!

-

It has to be said that Song Yuchen really doesn't understand Fang Li at all over the years.

The reason Fang Li gave up her own interests and wholeheartedly followed him into the entertainment industry was simply to follow in his footsteps and get closer to him.

Now that she doesn't even want him anymore, why would she care about a leading lady position?

Fang Li had seen enough of the chaos in the industry over the years, and Song Yuchen had no idea how much she hated it.

At this moment, Fang Li was extremely grateful that she had not completely lost herself because of Song Yuchen back then.

During her university years, she enrolled in the acting department with Song Yuchen, but at the same time, she secretly took all the courses of the broadcasting and directing major behind his back.

To this day, Song Yuchen is unaware that she had already obtained a double degree certificate from the Film Academy upon graduation.

Fang Li had already made other plans the moment she decided to come back.

Putting down her phone, Fang Li began packing the luggage she had brought back.

Several large boxes, but there were hardly any clothes inside; they were mostly boxes of different sizes.

These boxes are gifts she bought for her family over the years but never gave them to. Now that she's back, she wants to personally deliver them to each of them.

Fang Li was happily tidying up the room when Haicheng was at that moment.

Xu Fangye and Han Xi sat in the executive lounge on the top floor of the H Hotel, with two glasses of wine in front of them.

"I've almost finished taking care of things here, I'll head back this afternoon," Xu Fangye said, taking a sip of his drink.

Han Xi sat on the sofa opposite him, leaning back against the armrest, his posture more relaxed than usual.

Hearing this, she looked up from her phone and glanced at him: "I introduced you to the Xinyu Technology project. When are you going to do what you promised me?"

Xu Fangye was speechless: "I'll take care of it when we get back, okay?"

"But let me make this clear beforehand: if my sister finds out the truth and causes trouble for me, I'll put all the blame on you. Don't expect me to take the fall for this."

"As long as it succeeds, you won't have to bear the consequences."

"That's enough."

Han Xi didn't say anything more.

After a moment of silence, Xu Fangye suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, there's something else I forgot!"

He looked at Han Xi, stood up, propped himself up on his knees, and leaned closer, saying, "Lend me your branch's legal counsel."

"What do you want to do?"

"Fang Li wants to terminate the contract, but I'm too lazy to go. I'll send my legal team to handle it."

Upon hearing this, Han Xi tossed aside his phone, stood up, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I understand. I will inform the legal department."

"Okay, then I won't worry about it. Just let me know how much the penalty is, and I'll transfer it to your account. After all, it's my sister's business, and I feel bad about always taking advantage of you."

Xu Fangye deliberately distanced himself from Han Xi, speaking casually, and Han Xi indeed raised his eyes and gave him a deep look.

Xu Fangye looked away and drank, refusing to look at him.

I thought to myself, "You're such a closet pervert, always putting on a serious act in front of others. I wonder how long you can keep this up."

A thousand-year-old tortoise has been boiled down to a soft-shelled turtle; let it be.
