Shen Shichuan laughed like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank: “Just joking, testing your Chinese proficiency.”

Director Zhang explained, “It’s not a stretch to say you’re a true gentleman. CEO Shen is simply suggesting that you should swiftly steal the beauty’s heart.’ The comment cheered up Cui Chenghao.

He couldn’t help but walk over to Shen Shichuan, patting his shoulder, “Brother-in-law, I will work hard to win Manbing’s heart as soon as possible.”

Shen Shichuan’s face darkened again.

Finally, Xia Yangyang realized what it felt like to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

The dinner went smoothly.

There was lively conversation and laughter.

Even though Director Zhang was rumored to be a tough high-profile figure.

But he was actually a funny and humorous person in private.

He often cracked jokes that had everyone laughing heartily.

And when the subject turned to movies, he would talk non-stop, unable to stop himself.

After a few rounds of drinks, the door to the private room suddenly opened.

Two familiar figures appeared at the entrance.

Xia Yangyang was slightly stunned.

It was actually Liu Ruyan and Xia Weiwei.

Liu Ruyan held a cup of wine in her hand and walked straight in, “I heard Director Zhang is here, I must toast him. The first film I acted in was directed by him.”

Director Zhang was also very happy to see Liu Ruyan, “Ruyan, it’s been a long time. Your retirement was a great loss to the entertainment industry, come, let’s have a drink.”

Xia Yangyang did not expect Liu Ruyan and Director Zhang to be so familiar with each other.

After Liu Ruyan toasted, she said, “I just heard you were here as I was passing by the corridor. My daughter Yangyang will be shooting your new film soon. Please, take good care of her.”

Liu Ruyan was very active in the industry, she had a good relationship with almost all directors and producers.

She also managed most of the matters at Stardust over the years.

Everyone gave her a bit of face.

And naturally, they understood the situation of the Xia family.

Liu Ruyan is Xia Yangyang’s stepmother.

Director Zhang said, “I really like this child, Yangyang. I’ve seen a bit of her TV show, she’s a promising young talent. You can rest assured with her in my hands.”

Liu Ruyan poured another glass herself and toasted Director Zhang.

At this moment, she made a face at Xia Weiwei.

Xia Weiwei quickly stepped forward, “Director Zhang, I am Xia Weiwei. You are the director I admire the most. It’s such a joy to meet you in person. Let me toast you.”

Xia Weiwei had just graduated from high school and was studying in an acting school.

She was not famous in the industry yet.

Director Zhang did not know who she was.

Then, Liu Ruyan began to introduce, “This is my daughter, Xia Weiwei, now a first-year student at Kyoto Film School. You’ve always been her idol. She insisted on meeting you today when she heard you were here. This child is just so much in awe of you.”

Director Zhang was a bit drunk and felt pleased being praised by Liu Ruyan’s soft and sweet voice.

He looked at Xia Weiwei, “The up-and-coming stars of the entertainment industry, eh. Your Xia family is bound to rule this circle in the future.”

“You give her too much credit” Liu Ruyan laughed, “Director Zhang, actually there’s one thing. My daughter loves acting very much, especially since her sister is acting in your movie, she’s been so envious. She wants to play a small role in your movie too. Do you think there’s a role suitable for her, so that she can hone her acting skills?”

Director Zhang’s brow furrowed slightly.

Everyone in the room knew that Liu Ruyan wasn’t there just for the drinks today.

She was there to secure a role for her own daughter.
