Cui Ming never expected this turn of events.
President Zhou. President Zhou, are you serious?!
Or are you still drunk from fake alcohol last night and haven't sobered up yet?
Aren't you Zhou Bapi?! How could you bear to pluck all those Feathers from your body?
Cui Ming carefully examined the contract, fearing it might be another shady deal with hidden tricks.
But no, the contract was very clean, and the resources and conditions offered were very attractive.
He glanced at President Zhou repeatedly, as if he'd seen a ghost. Could it be that even Zhou Bapi had stumbled upon some kind of inexplicable romance, becoming so infatuated that he couldn't tell east from west?
"Yes, President Zhou, you make very decisive decisions. I believe the company will reach even greater heights in the future," Cui Ming said.
President Zhou chuckled twice and waved for him to leave quickly.
Going up one floor, or even a hundred floors, has nothing to do with him anymore! Seven Shadows Entertainment has been acquired by the Si Group! They all have to serve Jiang Nuo.
President Zhou worried that he lost a lot of hair.
Providing resources is a minor issue; the real problem is how to appease those young actresses he's keeping in the company. Those little devils are all incredibly difficult to please, and if they're not fed enough resources, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause!
No, we have to strike first and take care of them quickly.

After being a couch potato at home for almost ten days, Jiang Nuo finally joined the crew.
All pre-production work for the film " The Brocade Rivers and Mountains " has been completed, and all that's left is for the actors to join the crew.
Under Cui Ming's influence these past few days, Jiang Nuo already knew that she had become much more popular, but it wasn't until filming started today that Jiang Nuo truly felt it.
Half of the cast and crew had watched that variety show. Many of the actors, whose faces Jiang Nuo recognized but whose names Jiang Nuo couldn't recall, openly admitted to being his fans and even wanted to follow each other on Weibo.
Many expressed their desire to see Jiang Nuo perform a live demonstration of starting a fire with talismans.
Jiang Nuo: "..."
I'm waiting here.
Even the director joined in the fun, making no attempt to stop them, and even had Jiang Nuo stand at the very front during the incense burning before filming began.
Jiang Nuo, on the other hand, was not at all shy. After burning incense, she took out two talismans to cleanse the filming location.
When activating the burning talisman with Spiritual Power, he unexpectedly sensed an unusual residual power.
Jiang Nuo's eyes, which were full of smiles, instantly turned cold, but she didn't show it on her face, subtly sweeping her gaze over everyone present.
However, this power is fleeting, and the carrier must have only had brief contact with the object or person containing this power.
As the talisman ignited, everyone present could clearly feel a jolt of energy and a sudden enlightenment.
Jiang Nuo was the only one who couldn't smile.
He was surprised to find that this power was no weaker than that of the super bosses he encountered in dungeons.
And it actually exists in the real world.
" Nuonuo, what's wrong?" Si Yan noticed and leaned closer to ask.
"It's nothing, just encountered some evil spirits."
Jiang Nuo hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled again, patted Si Yan's head, and whispered in his ear, "Don't use your Spiritual Power during this time. Tell me if you feel unwell."
Si Yan's special constitution is a great tonic for any kind of ghost, and Jiang Nuo is worried that he will be discovered by the holder of that mysterious power.
"Good."

The first scene filmed was a youthful scene between Si Yan, who played Xuanyuan Li, and the young general Juechen.
At that time, they were not yet at odds, and they trusted each other completely, sharing everything and going to school and practicing martial arts together.
Under the soft moonlight, the white pear blossoms swayed in the breeze. In the courtyard, two people sat facing each other, drinking and playing chess around a table, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
The young general had not yet experienced the tragedy of his father's murder. The young man was full of vigor and high spirits, and the wine made him drunk, causing him to have two streaks of red stains on his face.
Just then, a few petals were blown down by the evening breeze and landed on Juechen young general's shoulder. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether the flower was whiter or the youthful, handsome face was pinker.
Why is Your Highness not speaking tonight?
Juechen propped his face up with his hands, tilted his head to look at the Crown Prince who was silently drinking, and his voice, tinged with drunkenness, was softer than usual.
Xuanyuan Li his head back and took another sip of wine, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as he admired the silver moon in the sky, his clear voice filled with even more melancholy.
"Father sent my third brother to deal with the floods in Jiangnan. Does that mean... he doesn't trust me?"
If he had been directly assigned the task, that would have been fine, but he and his third brother jointly submitted a memorial and volunteered to go in court.
The emperor's final choice was none other than his third brother.
Xuanyuan Li had not forgotten the look in his father's eyes when he went to court today—so indifferent and nonchalant.
"What use is the Crown Prince? He's nothing more than a shield for his favored son."
Xuanyuan Li threw down his wine glass, lowered his eyes, and mocked himself.
"Your Highness, please don't be sad."
Juechen stood up, swaying slightly as he drew his sword. "Let me show you how to wield a sword!"
Having said that, he moved with the wind, and with a nimble flick of his wrist, he created a beautiful sword flower in the air.
The young general, dressed in a blue robe, had his hair styled high and flowing in the night wind. His sword moved like a dragon, and his figure was agile and nimble.
Xuanyuan Li leaned against the tree, the boy's figure reflected in his eyes, and a smile inexplicably arose. His lips, as warm as jade, curved up like warm snow melting in spring.
He rose gracefully, and as he finished his Juechen dance, he raised his hand to brush away the petals from his shoulder, but the tip of his nose caught a lingering scent of pear blossoms.
"Is Your Highness happy?" Juechen asked, her eyes curving upwards, shining brighter than the moon in the sky in Si Yan's eyes.
"If you personally perform a sword dance to amuse me, I'll naturally be happy."
"Click! This one's approved!"
The director waved his hand to pop the inexplicable pink bubbles, and was quite satisfied with the effect he had achieved.
"Ten-minute break!"
Several staff members around them exchanged glances, unable to contain their excitement.
That's outrageous! They're practically killing each other with their shamelessness!
It's cloyingly sweet! So sweet it's bubbly!
They really are a couple!
Jiang Nuo led Si Yan to the side, and the two assistants quickly put cotton-padded coats on them and blew small electric heaters at them.
Winter is almost here, and although the crew has installed a heater, they haven't turned it on yet to achieve the desired filming effect.
"Are you cold? Here, let me warm you up."
Jiang Nuo wasn't afraid of the cold. She took the electric heater from the assistant, sat on Si Yan's soft chair, and rubbed Si Yan's back.
To avoid wrinkling his costume, Si Yan found a small stool, sat down next to Jiang Nuo, and nestled on his lap to keep warm.
" Nuonuo's acting skills have improved a lot compared to before."
Si Yan watched Jiang Nuo's previous acting roles and TV dramas and gave her her opinion.
Jiang Nuo touched the tip of her nose and coughed lightly. "It was an accident, all an accident. It was just a sudden enlightenment."
"Oh."
Si Yan responded, though it was unclear whether she believed him or not, and pulled Jiang Nuo's warm hand over her face.
The two assistants exchanged a glance, silently looked away, and then simultaneously burped.
Staff members watching: Sweet! So sweet!
If this were to leak out by accident, the CP fans would be making a huge fuss for three days and three nights!
But what's wrong with you, Best Actor Si?!
Does it have to be this delicate? Where's the commanding aura you had when you played the crown prince?!
So the rumors about the domineering top male lead and the delicate movie star female lead are true, right?
"Next scene is starting! Jiang Nuo, hurry up!"
"Break time is over," the director announced through a megaphone.
