Chapter 493: Chapter 493: The Miraculous Massage

"Sorry, I’m the type to speak frankly. I don’t like to beat around the bush, so I’ll just say it, President Chen, you definitely have talent in business, no doubt about it, but when it comes to directing and filmmaking, have you really asked yourself if you understand? Do you have any works?"

Shen Junlan hoped Chen Wei would understand this point, what kind of person should say what kind of things, one shouldn’t overstep.

Doing so wouldn’t impress anyone; it would only reveal ignorance.

"Miss Junlan..." Seeing the atmosphere becoming more and more tense, Liu Meng, caught in the middle, expressed her discomfort.

Just as she was about to say something, Shen Junlan interrupted her, "I’ll repeat what I’ve always said, if one of the top three directors from Great Xia doesn’t take part in the production of ’Dominating the World’, then I will withdraw the authorization. According to the contract, I don’t need to pay you a cent."

Chen Wei didn’t rush to answer. His gaze turned to a book on the coffee table, noticeably worn from use, with a bookmark at the one-third mark.

The book was wrinkled heavily, clearly having been read many times over.

A book that Shen Junlan valued so much was certainly worth a lot, entitled "Inspiration for Creativity".

Chen Wei wasn’t familiar with this book, but it wasn’t hard to conclude that Shen Junlan seemed to be suffering from the pain of inspiration exhaustion.

No wonder her complexion looked so poor and her temper was so irritable.

She seemed like a gas canister ready to ignite and explode at any moment.

"Miss Shen, you’re having trouble finding inspiration for your writing lately, aren’t you?" Chen Wei asked, following the topic.

"What does that have to do with you? We’re talking about the script right now!" Chen Wei’s words not only didn’t change anything, they even lowered Shen Junlan’s impression of him further.

"I know of a treatment method that might help you find your inspiration," he said.

After hearing Chen Wei say this, Shen Junlan closed the mouth that she had just opened, swallowed her words back down, and the angry expression on her face receded slightly. Clearly intrigued by Chen Wei’s statement, she asked, "Are you a doctor?"

"I don’t have a license, but you can absolutely trust me. Even if I fail, you won’t lose anything, right?" Chen Wei countered.

"..." Shen Junlan didn’t rush to respond.

After giving it some thought, she nodded in agreement, "Alright, then have a try."

If Chen Wei really could do it, Shen Junlan wasn’t opposed to the idea of stepping back.

She despised her current state, from loving writing to becoming agitated and uncomfortable at the mere thought of picking up a pen, almost wishing to smash everything in frustration, becoming very irritable.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Chen Wei approaching her, Shen Junlan widened her eyes warily and asked.

"Of course, I’m going to treat you. I’m not a deity; I can’t perform the treatment from thin air," Chen Wei responded with a wry smile.

He thought to himself that this woman was perhaps too wary.

"Oh," Shen Junlan uttered, finally lowering her arms.

She was curious to see what method Chen Wei would use to cure her.

Half a year ago, Shen Junlan had already listened to a friend’s suggestion and gone to see a psychologist, but it proved useless.

The psychologist, besides prescribing her a pile of outrageously expensive and ineffective medicine, only told her to focus on self-regulation.

The last time, Shen Junlan couldn’t help but retort, "If I could self-regulate, why would I come to you?"

After that, Shen Junlan never went back to the psychological clinic.

Going there only added to her stress.

In half a year, she went from writing ten short stories a year to barely managing a hundred words in six months, in the eyes of others, a fallen genius whose talents had dried up.

Chen Wei moved behind Shen Junlan, placed his hands on her head, and began to massage.

"Is this what you call treatment?" Shen Junlan was convinced that Chen Wei was joking with her.

How could a problem that she hadn’t been able to solve with so many methods be cured just by some simple massage?

"Yes," Chen Wei nodded affirmatively, "the reason you are suffering from a creative block is largely due to anxiety and pressure. As long as you can alleviate this mood, you can be cured."

"What you said is exactly the same as that useless psychologist," Shen Junlan didn’t mind Chen Wei misunderstanding her meaning.

After finding out about Chen Wei’s method of treatment, Shen Junlan had no hope for him.

If not for considering that she might cooperate with JM Entertainment in the future, Shen Junlan would have definitely kicked him out right away, not wanting to waste her own time.

Unconsciously,

By the time Shen Junlan opened her eyes again, she woke up suddenly and sat up.

She looked out the window; it was still daytime. She couldn’t believe that she had actually fallen asleep!

For the past six months, Shen Junlan had been suffering from severe insomnia due to stress and could only fall asleep with the help of medication.

She never expected that Chen Wei’s massage would allow her to fall asleep successfully without any medication.

Did she not know better than anyone if she had taken something similar?

"How long did I sleep?" Shen Junlan asked Chen Wei, who was still massaging her temples.

"Only ten minutes," Chen Wei replied.

"Ten minutes! How is that possible! I clearly felt like I had slept for an entire day!" Shen Junlan couldn’t believe it.

"Miss Junlan, it’s true. You only slept for ten minutes; you can check the date if you don’t believe me—it’s still 11:05 in the morning," Liu Meng took out her phone, opened the clock app, and proved it for Chen Wei.

"Incredible, it’s just so unbelievable, how did you manage to do that?" Shen Junlan exclaimed.

"I just massaged you to relieve your anxiety," Chen Wei said lightly.

But Shen Junlan was more aware than anyone how difficult it was to achieve such a thing.

This guy, he’s really not simple!

Shen Junlan had never felt as good as she did at this moment, her thoughts flowing like a bubbling spring.

Now, she would definitely be able to write a great piece!

Shen Junlan was even beginning to be eager to start writing!

But she hesitated to interrupt Chen Wei’s treatment process.

Now, to say she regarded Chen Wei as a deity wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

"That... I’m sorry, I apologize for underestimating you before," Shen Junlan was always one to admit her mistakes and stand straight for a scolding.

"It’s nothing, don’t worry about it; by the way, about that Dominating the World matter..." Chen Wei found the right opportunity to bring it up.

"Do whatever you want with it, I won’t interfere anymore." People who accept favors from others are obliged to them. Shen Junlan wouldn’t dare to resist Chen Wei.

What if he refused to treat her again?

"Really? Thank you so much, Miss Junlan!" Liu Meng said with a beaming smile.

She thought to herself that her little junior brother was indeed incredible; he had smoothly resolved even such a difficult opponent.

...

Several minutes later,

Chen Wei released his hands and said, "Alright."

"Could we exchange contact information? In case I get a headache again, I might need to trouble you," Shen Junlan looked at Chen Wei eagerly, worried she would be rejected.

Nowhere to be seen was her previously aloof attitude.
