The Crazy Son-In-Law

After some sighs about the tight schedule and tasks at hand, Xiao Shun nodded at Mo Yibai, indicating that she need not feel troubled and should cooperate to complete Tan Haohan’s advertising tasks.

“Xiao Shun, I…” Mo Yibai began, feeling uneasy. She wanted to say something, but at that moment, she couldn’t find the words to express her guilt.

Today, apart from her own efforts and some luck, Xiao Shun, her mentor, had also helped her a great deal. If it wasn’t for him, as she had mentioned not long ago, she might still be an unknown struggling artist. She wouldn’t have the countless fans and influence she had today.

At the same time, Mo Yibai reproached herself inwardly. Why hadn’t she noticed any clues in the contract Tan Haohan had handed to her earlier? If she had, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

“You don’t have to blame yourself. I understand your difficulties. This hundred million dollar contract with Tan Haohan will probably give you another round of hot search. You can’t miss out on this stroke of luck!” Xiao Shun comforted Mo Yibai, indicating that she shouldn’t worry.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Then he continued, “Besides, I have no intention of handing my people over to competitors.”

“My people?” Mo Yibai murmured Xiao Shun’s words and blushed slightly, feeling a complex surge of emotions in her heart.

Xiao Shun didn’t even notice the ambiguity in his words, and casually said, “Of course, you’ve signed a contract with me. Aren’t we on the same side?”

Hearing this, the initial joy on Mo Yibai’s face was replaced by a hint of disappointment. She thought to herself, “It seems I’ve read too much into it!”

Just as she was in a daze, Xiao Shun confidently said, “Anyway, your next task is to shoot your advertisement. As for how to terminate your contract with Tan Haohan, leave it to me to handle!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Yibai immediately composed herself and said seriously, “Are you sure you can find flaws in the product within a few days?”

“It’s all about human effort!” Xiao Shun smirked, “Tan Haohan can come up with a health product in a few days. Do you think there would be no issues with it?”

“You’re still as confident in yourself as ever,” Mo Yibai looked at Xiao Shun affectionately, her eyes revealing an intriguing expression.

“Have you been captivated by my strong self-confidence? Hurry up and praise me to make me happy!” Xiao Shun proudly raised an eyebrow.

Mo Yibai couldn’t help but chuckle at Xiao Shun’s shameless boasting. She held a great fondness for this man, not merely out of gratitude, but with a deeper sense of admiration.

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Xiao Shun asked, “By the way, you mentioned on the phone that you wanted to discuss something with me. What’s the matter?”

“Have you heard of Zhang Jizhong?” Mo Yibai countered.

“I don’t know him!” Xiao Shun shook his head.

Mo Yibai was speechless. She couldn’t believe that in this age of advanced technology, there could still be someone like Xiao Shun who didn’t know Zhang Jizhong. He probably hadn’t even seen “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber”!

“No, I’m asking you about something. Why are you bringing him up to me?” Faced with Mo Yibai’s teasing smile, Xiao Shun was not pleased.

“He wants me to audition for the role of Huang Rong in ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes.’ But his reputation isn’t good, some even say he likes to engage in certain unspoken rules. So, I want you to accompany me to the audition,” Mo Yibai said, full of concern.

“Unspoken rules?” Xiao Shun’s expression turned grim. He detested those who used their positions to demand privileges. Plus, he considered Mo Yibai a friend and couldn’t allow this Zhang guy to take advantage of her.

While he thought this, Xiao Shun couldn’t understand why Mo Yibai would still insist on auditioning despite knowing about the director’s reputation.

“Why don’t you just decline the audition invitation?” he asked.

Mo Yibai shook her head helplessly and explained, “Zhang Jizhong has an extensive network in the industry. It’s said that he has a deep connection with the senior leadership of the Broadcasting and Television Bureau. If I offend him, I might not even get a chance to appear in public in the future.”

“Is it that serious?” Xiao Shun was surprised.

In theory, Mo Yibai was currently a leading figure in the country, with an influence that seemed to be extending beyond Asia. Even so, the fact that this Zhang Jizhong, with his ability to blacklist people, was still influential, caught him off guard.

Damn, wanting to take advantage of my friend, he needs to ask if I agree!

Thinking fiercely, Xiao Shun quickly asked, “When is the audition?”

“Next week, in Beiyang City. Coincidentally, there’s also a charity event organized by a major celebrity there, so the big beard [Zhang Jizhong] has scheduled the audition right after that.”

“It seems the big beard is quite good at timing. On that day, he’ll probably be quite busy, with so many beautiful women to interview!” Xiao Shun chuckled lightly, deliberately emphasizing the words “busy” and “interview.”

Damn, being a director is great. Playing around with those high and mighty stars, he must feel great!

What he didn’t know was that Zhang Jizhong had been able to thrive in the film industry for so long not just because of his unparalleled network or his absurd plotlines, but because of the powerful family backing him-the prestigious Zhang family, one of the four major influential families in the capital.

Thanks to this background, even if the films he directed were ridiculous, hordes of people would still come to praise his work.

Good connections make things easier, and money can control celebrities.

Everyone understands this principle!

“It’s a good thing it’s not in the next few days. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have time to go with you. But next week, my matters should be sorted out,” Xiao Shun said casually. Even if he knew about the big beard’s true identity, he wouldn’t be worried.

It’s just a damn director, I don’t believe I can’t deal with him!

Upon hearing Xiao Shun’s agreement to accompany her to the audition, Mo Yibai felt much more at ease. She couldn’t afford to decline the audition invitation from the big beard if she wanted to continue thriving in the industry.
