"No one is more suited than you to play this role. You're the best candidate, and the only person I want. Anyone else would merely be settling, and I don't want to settle."
The more Li Yuanzhao spoke, the more excited he became. By the end, his gaze at Su Qiao had become dazzling, filled with the same obsessive madness as a scientist who had just discovered some great invention.
In a word, he seemed a little neurotic.
"If you're unwilling, then this drama will never have the chance to appear on the big screen or give everyone the chance to see it."
The corner of Su Qiao's mouth twitched.
Was this really a director? Why did he look more like a mad scientist?
"You're putting so much pressure on me with all that praise."
She was almost starting to feel carried away despite her usually steadfast temperament, thinking she was the star of tomorrow and would soon become a Film Empress-level figure.
Li Yuanzhao realized what he was doing and quickly reined in his emotions, making himself look more normal.
"Ahem, Miss Su, please don't misunderstand. I absolutely don't mean to morally blackmail or pressure you. I merely wanted to tell you about my determination and my decision."
Su Qiao scratched her head, somewhat unsure what to do.
She had originally planned to finish all her missions, then set up a street stall and become a happy-go-lucky slacker, muddling through life and waiting to die. Could it be that she would now have to make occasional guest appearances as an actress?
But the man before her seemed quite determined. If she refused, he might not even film her script.
*Why not just agree? After you take down Yu Aiwei and the others, you won't have anything to do anyway.
