The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: The Warm Sunshine, Can Heal All Unhealed Wounds

Director Wen frowned, his heart stirred.

God knows how much he wanted to keep Jiang Leyi, especially after enduring the arrogance from Su Ran who brought in funding for the crew; he missed the ambitious and hardworking Jiang Leyi even more.

But Mr. Bo had said that this investment was because of Su Ran; they had to do whatever she wanted.

Although it was not uncommon for Golden Masters to support female stars in the entertainment industry, this was the first time Bao Yan had promoted someone like this.

"But Mr. Bo, he..."

Jiang Nanshu saw his indecisive look and knew what he was worried about. freewebnøvel.com

She couldn’t help but laugh: "Director Wen, you’re an experienced director. Which of your dramas hasn’t been successful? Not investing in you would be their loss. Even if you lose the Bao Family, there are so many powerful families in the Beijing Circle; no one would think they have too much money. Moreover..." Jiang Nanshu narrowed her eyes slightly: "I bet Bao Yan won’t withdraw the investment because Su Ran needs this drama."

Director Wen sighed. Although he personally wasn’t afraid, he had devoted so many years to studying art and still feared that Bao Yan could make the capitalists stop investing in his drama.

But Jiang Nanshu was right; talent and hard work shouldn’t be buried, and he should give Jiang Leyi a chance.

So he nodded solemnly: "I promise you, even if the funding is withdrawn, it doesn’t matter. I will pull in new investors. I’ve been preparing this drama for three years; I must go through with it regardless."

Then he said to Jiang Nanshu: "Make sure to come, don’t stand me up."

It’s just a role as a martial arts director and drawing a few paintings, not too difficult a task.

Jiang Nanshu tapped her head, and Director Wen left with satisfaction.

He had snatched someone ahead of Zhong Kai; yes, it felt pretty good.

Xu Xi ran over excitedly, holding a bunch of sunflowers: "Jiangjiang, congratulations on the smooth performance. That performance was really great. I really liked it."

The bouquet of sunflowers was stuffed into Jiang Nanshu’s hands; she looked up to meet Xu Xi’s small face and Xu Xingwan’s helpless expression.

The smile on her lips was light: "Thank you, this is the first time I’ve ever received flowers in my life."

Xu Xi’s smile was radiant: "Why be so formal with us...?" Her eyes filled with bewilderment: "Jiangjiang, just now, that man surnamed Zhong, some dean, took your painting away. The principal respectfully saw him off. Is he really that dean from the Hua Country Calligraphy Association? Why would he condescend to attend this evening event?"

Jiang Nanshu shrugged: "I don’t know him; maybe he knows Old Man Wen?"

Xu Xi: "..."

To you, every major director becomes an old man.

Xu Xingwan, smiling, said: "Your performance was really unexpected, giving me a whole new understanding of you. Everyone outside is busy inquiring about you; they didn’t even have time to watch Su Ran’s performance."

Jiang Nanshu had guessed as much.

That’s why she specifically requested her act to be scheduled before Su Ran’s; as long as she attracted enough attention, she could draw Director Wen away, and naturally, he wouldn’t have time to watch Su Ran’s act.

Her gaze turned to Xu Xingwan, baring a set of big white teeth as she smiled: "I just heard from Director Wen that Su Ran brought in funding for the crew, with the investor being Bao Yan. Is your brother always so generous to everyone?"

Xu Xingwan’s smile receded instantly; she was never concerned with Bao Yan’s work matters because she disliked him.

But hearing about him strongly promoting another woman made her stomach churn with nausea.

Her face tensed: "He’s not my brother; I have nothing to do with him. One day, I will leave this damned place."

After saying this, seeming to recall something unhappy, she walked away first.

Xu Xi looked concerned: "What’s wrong with Wanwan? Didn’t her brother let her come back to study?"

As someone with the plot-twisting privilege of knowing the storyline, Jiang Nanshu found it difficult to suppress her thoughts while munching on the metaphorical popcorn.
