Hua Ruyi laughed and said, "It's nothing much, just added a few more passionate scenes and a bit more suggestive language than what you suggested earlier."
Chen Mingzhang: "..."
"You're playing with fire, kid. When Jian Zhou sees the official script and realizes you tricked him, he'll definitely kill you."
Hua Ruyi was unconcerned, saying, "He volunteered to be the male lead, I didn't force him. As for why the official script doesn't have these scenes, the reason is simple: the General Administration wouldn't approve it, and there's nothing I can do!"
Listen to how he speaks, truly shameless and yet feigning innocence!
Chen Mingzhang: "..."
"Alright, if this works out, I'll owe you one. I'll treat you to a meal another day. I'm going to sign the contract now, talk to you later."
Hua Ruyi hung up the phone, took the prepared contract, and drove towards the Huiyao Film and Television Building.
Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Chen Mingzhang didn't immediately put his phone away. Instead, he made another call.
After two rings, the call was connected, and a deep, clear male voice responded, "How is that matter progressing?"
Chen Mingzhang replied with a hint of nervousness, "It's done. Hua Ruyi has already sent the contract over."
"Good, that's all that matters."
"Mr. Jian, I don't understand, why did you go to such great lengths?" Chen Mingzhang was perplexed.
The 'Mr. Jian' he referred to was none other than Jian Zhou's elder brother, Jian Fan.
"There are some things he doesn't need to know. Everyone has their own life, and even family members should ideally not interfere too much. If he hadn't been so unhappy for the past few months, and wouldn't say why when asked, I wouldn't have bothered with all this."
Jian Fan appeared as cold as ice, indifferent to everything except Jiang Yushuang.
But only those who truly knew him understood that he was outwardly cold but inwardly warm, deeply caring for his loved ones.
He wouldn't say anything, wouldn't outwardly do anything, but behind the scenes, he went to great lengths, doing more than anyone else.
"I understand. Jian Zhou's issue stems from Jiang Ling. Only the one who tied the bell can untie it. So you want to use the drama 'The Double Saints of the Great Tang' to create an opportunity for them."
Chen Mingzhang, being a renowned director of idol dramas, understood the intricacies of young love and Jian Fan's intentions.
Jian Fan responded with a soft "Mm," "Only the one who tied the bell can untie it. If they can't grasp this opportunity, it means they are fated to be apart, and it's better to end it early than to cause mutual suffering."
As they had discussed most of what needed to be said, Chen Mingzhang knew Jian Fan was busy and was about to politely end the call.
Suddenly, a loud "Ah!" came from the other end of the phone, followed by an exasperated voice, "You little brat, I was trying to coax you to sleep, and with so many people in the house, you ignored everyone else and peed on me. How many times has this happened? Are you doing it on purpose?"
Chen Mingzhang was instantly petrified.
Good heavens, was this still the ice prince, Jian Fan, that he knew?
He quickly hung up, fearing that if Jian Fan realized his ice-cold image had been compromised, he might retaliate.
Frightened, Chen Mingzhang immediately pressed the end call button.
Jian Family Villa.
The elder master Jian, who had just been peed on, was furious, his face as dark as a pot's bottom.
He pointed at the chubby little face of the toddler and unleashed a torrent of complaints.
The toddler wailed loudly, immediately drawing the attention of Jian's mother, who lived next door and was now a grandmother.
Seeing her eldest grandson crying so hard, Jian's mother was instantly enraged.
