Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Would You Like to Be the Leading Lady?
"Sure, no problem. Your condition indeed won’t be resolved with just one massage session. You should get out more, breathe some fresh air. That will help with the recovery," Chen Wei reminded.
"Okay! I understand! I will definitely remember your words."
Seeing Shen Junlan so obediently nodding in front of Chen Wei like an exemplary student, Liu Meng started to wonder if she was hallucinating.
Was this really the Shen Junlan she knew?
However, Liu Meng had to admit that Chen Wei indeed had a gift. After the massage, one could clearly see Shen Junlan’s complexion improve at a visible pace, her whole aura transforming, no longer showing a defeated demeanor.
After exchanging contact information and seeing that Chen Wei was about to leave, Shen Junlan hurriedly spoke up, "The two of you have helped me so much; I should at least treat you to lunch."
"Maybe next time; we have another appointment," Chen Wei declined politely.
"Okay." Shen Junlan didn’t insist, as she felt a strong urge to write at that moment.
After seeing off Chen Wei, Shen Junlan went to the restroom to freshen up, determined to start writing in her best state.
But the moment she entered the bathroom, Shen Junlan froze.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she found it unbelievable.
She cupped her cheeks with her hands, hardly able to believe that the vibrant person in the mirror was truly herself.
Although the dark circles were still there, they were significantly less pronounced, no longer making her look like a walking corpse.
"He really is incredible!" Shen Junlan couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
Unfortunately, Chen Wei was unaware of her comment.
At that moment, he was already in Liu Meng’s car, driving away from the villa.
In the car, Liu Meng glanced at Chen Wei, "You’re quite impressive, managing to deal with such a difficult person. I’m curious; is there any problem in this world that you can’t solve?"
"Yes, giving birth," Chen Wei replied.
"..." Hearing this answer, Liu Meng found herself unable to retort.
"By the way," changing the subject, "which director are you thinking of for ’Dominating the World’?"
"How about me?"
"Stop joking, I’m serious!" Liu Meng said irritably.
But then, she hit the brakes and pulled over, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I’ve been free recently with nothing much to do," Chen Wei nodded affirmatively.
"Even though you’re capable, directing is a completely different field—it’s very complicated. Are you sure you want to take it on? Even with your favor from Shen Junlan, I don’t think she’d easily agree," Liu Meng restarted the car, sharing her honest thoughts.
"How will I know if I don’t try?" Chen Wei challenged.
"..." Liu Meng pursed her lips, "Fine, have it your way. It’s your company, after all. You’ll be the one losing money, not me."
"Can I lose more than what Senior Sister has made for me?" Chen Wei half-jokingly asked.
"Since you know Senior Sister has made you a lot of money, you better treat me well in the future, or I might switch jobs and stop making money for you one day," Liu Meng said, though she was actually quite pleased on the inside.
"Alright, alright, I’ll erect a shrine for you at home and worship it like an ancestor."
"You wish I was dead," Liu Meng said, not amused, glaring at him, "Do you really want me dead that badly?"
"I never said that."
"I can’t be bothered with you," Liu Meng huffed.
She focused on driving back to the film studio.
Parking the car at the entrance, she called Liang Xiaoqi.
Liang Xiaoqi received the call and rushed out from the film city within five minutes, even taking the time to change her clothes, but her hairstyle remained unchanged.
However, this maid hairstyle didn’t look out of place in the big city at all; it carried a vintage charm.
"Sorry for making you wait," Liang Xiaoqi opened the car door and got in.
"No worries, look how flustered you are, it’s not a big deal," Liu Meng said with a bit of amusement.
Liang Xiaoqi let out a sheepish laugh and didn’t say much.
After making sure she was settled, Liu Meng started the car and drove towards the restaurant.
Chen Wei took this opportunity to turn around and ask Liang Xiaoqi, "Do you have any other arrangements besides this maid role?"
"No, I’ve only accepted this one role for now," Liang Xiaoqi shook her head, not quite understanding the purpose of Chen Wei’s question.
This kid, he couldn’t possibly be thinking...
As the senior sister who had grown up with Chen Wei since childhood, Liu Meng had already realized what Chen Wei intended to say next.
"You know about ’Dominating the World’, right?" Chen Wei asked.
"Of course I know! It’s been making a lot of buzz lately. Rumor has it that it’s being personally produced by Guo Quanyou, one of the top three directors of Great Xia," Liang Xiaoqi said somewhat bashfully, "I personally really love the ’Dominating the World’ novel and have read it several times."
"Guo Quanyou got fired by me, now, I’m the one directing that series."
"What?" Liang Xiaoqi was stunned.
For a moment, she didn’t know which fact was more shocking.
Guo Quanyou, one of the top three directors of Great Xia, got fired by Chen Wei?
He was going to personally direct ’Dominating the World’?
"How about it? Don’t you think his idea is too crazy and absurd?" Seeing the range of expressions on Liang Xiaoqi’s face through the rearview mirror, Liu Meng couldn’t help but ask.
"Actually, not really, I am quite looking forward to seeing what ’Dominating the World’ will look like under President Chen. To be honest, judging from the clips they released before, although technically impressive, I always feel that they have modified the plot too much, losing the original appeal," Liang Xiaoqi spoke her true thoughts.
Most importantly, she was willing to look forward to what Chen Wei would do.
Well, Liu Meng felt her question was wasted.
Just looking at Liang Xiaoqi’s gaze, it was clear she was unconditionally biased towards Chen Wei.
Whom to blame? Blame herself for her little junior brother being too charming?
Yet even she herself was caught up in it, how could she have the heart to lecture Liang Xiaoqi.
"In fact, I plan to have you as the lead actress, what do you think? Want to give it a try?" Chen Wei asked, astonishingly.
Of course, the only one surprised was Liang Xiaoqi.
Liu Meng had guessed that he would say that.
"Ah! The lead actress? I, I’m afraid I’m not qualified," Liang Xiaoqi said in a panic.
"I read the novel on my way here, and to be honest, I can’t think of anyone more suitable for the lead actress than you. You don’t need to feel too much pressure," Chen Wei said. "If you don’t want to, then don’t, I won’t force you."
Liang Xiaoqi didn’t absorb the latter half of Chen Wei’s words at all.
In her ears, "I can’t think of anyone more suitable for the lead actress than you" echoed repeatedly.
"President Chen, do you really think I can do it?" After a while, Liang Xiaoqi clasped her fists to her chest and mustered the courage to ask.
"Of course," Chen Wei affirmed, without any hesitation.
"But I’m worried..." Liang Xiaoqi started to say, then hesitated.
"Worried about what? I dared to kick Guo Quanyou out of the game and step in myself, what is there for you to fear? I’ll be the one carrying the biggest burden."
