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

Wang Mingxia clenched her hands, too afraid to speak.

After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "What do we do now? The Zhang family just said that they want to see 300,000 yuan in cash at the wedding tomorrow, or they'll call off the wedding on the spot. We've used all our money to buy a house for Tao Tao, where are we going to come up with that much money all at once!"

"If you can't come up with the money, can't you find a way?"

Wang Mingxia choked up, wanting to say something but holding back when she looked into the old man's stern eyes.

After a while, the old man calmed down and made a decision. He turned to Wen Shiming beside him and said, "Go and call the Zhang family. We agree to the 300,000 yuan dowry, but we can't raise that much money right now. If we can, we will definitely make up for it after the wedding. If not, we will postpone the wedding until we have the money."

-

On the bus back to the city.

Zhou Yufan drove, while Fang Li and Wen Yang sat in the back seat.

The atmosphere inside the car was tense. Since getting in, Wen Yang had been leaning against the window, staring at the receding street scene outside without saying a word.

Fang Li and Zhou Yufan exchanged a glance in the rearview mirror.

Not long after, Zhou Yufan spoke up: "Every family has its own problems. If you need any help, just say so. Fang Li and I are here."

Fang Li paused for a moment, then said, "We don't know about your family situation, but we do know about you, Yangyang. Just remember that no matter what happens, your senior and I will always be your strongest support. We'll always be there for you whenever you ask."

The only response from the two remained silence.

I do not know how long it has been.

The street scene outside the window gradually became bustling. The car exited the elevated road and entered the city. Only then did a suppressed sob suddenly break out in the quiet car.

......

Wen Tao's marriage ultimately did not take place.

The Zhang family is taking a very firm stance: they'll only get married when the 300,000 yuan dowry is ready.

The Wen family sent out so many invitations, and the hotel and banquet were all booked, but in the end, all of it went down the drain because the bride's family suddenly changed their minds.

Zhou Yufan said that the Wen family called Wen Yang for a whole day and night.

Wen Yang simply tossed her phone into the living room and didn't answer any of the calls.

Later, Wen Yang called a distant relative to ask what was going on, and heard that Old Master Wen had taken advantage of the relatives' visit to the wedding to borrow money from others.

As a result, everyone made excuses to stay, and in the end, it seems that less than 30,000 yuan was borrowed.

Whether it was because he felt embarrassed or because he was angry about his grandson's matter, Grandpa Wen fell ill.

He was admitted to the hospital the next day and is said to still be unconscious.

When Fang Li received Wen Yang's call, she was still hiding at Zhou Yufan's house.

The Wen family is now searching everywhere for her whereabouts, and they've been calling the company's landline non-stop.

Wen Yang was severely scolded by her company leader and told not to go back to the company.

Wen Yang said she felt that Zhou Yufan, the fake leader, had hit the nail on the head this time, and she was afraid she was really going to lose her job.

Fang Li didn't know what to say.

No one can do anything about having family members like that.

All I could do was offer her a few words of comfort, saying that if she ever lost her job, Liyun's doors would always be open to her.

Let's talk about pear blossoms again.

None of the scripts submitted received a response. Although several directors and producers expressed interest, they all became vague and evasive when it came to signing contracts.

It's obvious that everyone thinks Liyun is a newly established small studio.

He's good at maneuvering, but he's clearly not qualified for cooperation.

Fang Li was quite annoyed by the mercenary nature of these people in the industry, but then she thought that every industry is like this nowadays. Starting a business is inherently difficult, and the fruits of success that are easily obtained are not cherished.

Fortunately, the people in the studio did not lose heart; in fact, they were determined to overcome any setbacks.

For several days in a row, everyone voluntarily worked overtime to work on their scripts. Ji Tiantian and her team even selected many excellent works from various platforms in just a few days.

After reviewing the list, Fang Li and Zhou Yufan provided a list. Neither of them even appeared in person; Ji Tiantian handled the negotiations with the various platforms directly.

They acquired the copyrights to nearly thirty works for less than one million.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Li Yun, who has been living off her savings ever since she became a wife.

-

this day.

Fang Li had just finished get off work and left the company to go home.

Before she even reached the car, a black Bentley suddenly cut in front of her, blocking her way.

The sturdy wheels were only a foot away from her.

Fang Li quickly pulled her toes back and took a step back.

Once she stood still, her slender eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the black car parked in front of her.

The next moment, the Bentley's window slowly rolled down.

back seat.

A beautiful face, yet with a hint of aggression, was revealed.

"Miss Xu?"

The woman wore light makeup, and through the car window, it was clear that she was wearing a white Korean-style suit with a champagne-colored top underneath. Her long hair was neatly pinned up at the back of her head, and her entire outfit was very elegant, except for her full lips, which were painted a bright red.

Although she was sitting in the car, her pale eyes showed no sign of looking up.

He glanced at Fang Li, his eyes filled with indifference.

Fang Li frowned slightly, her lips pursed: "Yes, who are you? Do you need something from me?"

She admitted it.

The woman seemed to only have a slight smile on her lips. Without getting out of the car, she said through the window, "I'm Sheng Qianrui. Would it be convenient for us to chat?"

Sheng Qianrui?

Fang Li's brow twitched slightly, but her face remained expressionless.

The surname Sheng is quite rare.

In this vast capital city, the only family she knew with the surname Sheng was that one.

Wen Yang said that compared to the Han family, who entered the business world halfway through their careers, the Sheng family was the real business giant in the capital.

Not only that.

The Sheng family started their business during the Qing Dynasty. Over the years, the national situation has fluctuated, but each head of the Sheng family has been good at assessing the situation and has managed to preserve the family's wealth amidst the wave of reforms, thus maintaining the reputation of the powerful family to this day.

If it weren't for Han Xi, a business prodigy from the Han family, the top position in the capital would have belonged to the Sheng family.

So, she's a member of the Sheng family?

Fang Li: "I don't know Miss Sheng."

The implication was that we had nothing to talk about.

However, Sheng Qianrui would not let her off so easily.

The fact that she was able to appear here and stop her so accurately shows that she had done her homework before coming. She knew her and knew that she must have something to ask her.

Sheng Qianrui seemed to have anticipated Fang Li's response.

Hearing this, he wasn't angry.

She smiled and said, "My father and Han Xi are close friends despite their age difference. He thinks highly of Han Xi. The Han family and the Sheng family are about to collaborate on a major project. I wonder if Han Xi has mentioned it to you?"

"......"

"That's true. Han Xi is a workaholic. He's completely clueless when it comes to women. He can just stop contacting his childhood friends from the compound without warning. No wonder you don't know."

Fang Li remained silent.

Sheng Qianrui's words seemed like casual conversation, but every sentence subtly revealed the relationship between her and Han Xi.

They shared a common childhood and came from equally matched family backgrounds.

Her father and Han Xi still have a good relationship. In fact, her statement that her father thinks highly of Han Xi might be an expression of his opinion of his future son-in-law.

Fang Li is not stupid.

These words seem unrelated, but their intention is quite clear.

She's being provocative.

Although she doesn't know Sheng Qianrui well, she knows a lot about the countless second female lead roles.

She laughed, "Okay, where shall we talk?"
