Chapter 917: 916. I am the leader, what I say goes.
Su Chejun chuckled, carelessly finishing the last two bites of his rice, before pulling out several brand-new work passes from his backpack.
“Here you go, these are temporary tour passes for Cloudscape Pharma’s dicinal plant cultivation base, stamped with the official seal. You just need to fill in your nas.”
The senior, who was about to enter his fourth year, had a strong sense of overall planning. He had reserved a few spots when signing up for the club, just in case of any last-minute changes to the team.
Sure enough, they ca in handy now.
The three girls looked at the work passes on the table upon hearing this, and indeed noticed the brand-new badges bore a highly conspicuous red seal, and not just any seal but that of Cloudscape Group.
Wow! What a grand gesture.
Cheng Ranran was so delighted she almost jumped on the spot, “Oh yeah~~”
Ye Xiaohui quickly grabbed two badges, “President, then we won’t be shy.”
“Why be shy? I’ll need you junior sisters to help coordinate work later on. I’ll treat you to a al in Yun Province as thanks!”
“Oh~~~ so we have additional work?”
The two shared a aningful look, staring across until they made the almost-into-society young man blush red.

While Cheng Ranran and her companions were lost in the pleasures of Yun Province, Tang Shu got the first few episodes of the script for “You Smile 3.”
Wenxin Screenwriter, following the sa efficient style as before, crafted each episode with tight dialogue and scene changes; the fast pace of a weekly drama also ant higher demands for the actors to get into character.
At the sa ti, this idol drama, now in its third season, inevitably introduced new characters.
[Chen Xin]: “Does Director Liu an that we’re missing three key roles for this series?”
[Director Liu Sijun]: “Yes, we’re starting filming in a few days, and two of the roles appear right in the first episode. Do you have any recomndations?”
On the phone, the WeChat group nad “You Smile Family” had already entered ergency help mode.
[Wenxin – Screenwriter]: “The male lead’s sister will return to the country in the first episode—okay, this setting is a bit cliché, but it’s important—she’s a standard glamorous beauty. I think Geng Qiuqiu is a good fit.”
[Director Liu Sijun]: “Hold it! Geng Qiuqiu is a top-tier actress, we don’t have that big of a budget. I advise you to drop this dangerous idea.”
[Wenxin – Screenwriter]: “???Stingy man!”
[Chen Xin]: “Stingy 1”
Others joined in for fun, copying and pasting below.
When Tang Shu saw the 99 unread ssages in the group, the crew had already ridiculed the director from head to toe and ruled out all the popular glamorous beauties in the circle.
No way around it, the production is short on money QAQ.
Geng Qiuqiu was indeed expensive, her worth laid out clear, most productions really couldn’t afford her.
Tang Shu pondered for a while, looking at the working corporate woman across from her.
“Sister Luo, how much of the investnt in ‘You Smile 3’ is held by Starshine dia?”
“21%, which currently makes us one of the four major investors. Why do you ask?”
“I rember in the first season, it was 72%, and Starshine had absolute say.”
“Indeed, but as ‘You Smile’ beca more popular, Starshine couldn’t keep eating the whole cake forever. We had to sacrifice so profit for peace. We can’t be targeted by those big players.”
The entertainnt industry is a huge dye vat. Not only are there rules among actors and stars, but even entertainnt companies have their codes. The rapid growth of Starshine dia had far exceeded the expectations of the industry giants. It was important to keep a low profile on so issues that were not worth stirring up conflicts.
This was part of the long-term developnt strategy formulated by Luo Lin.
After Tang Shu understood the situation, she resolutely gave up on the idea of spending money to hire soone. As for personal connections… it’s better not to use them unless necessary, considering Geng Qiuqiu also has a talent agency backing her.
“Is Sister Tong free lately?”
“I’ve arranged for her a TV series and a movie role. Do you have any good roles to recomnd?”
Luo Lin straightened her posture, her deanor completely shifting away from work, and looked at her boss with eager anticipation.
She was all too familiar with this type of conversation; under normal circumstances, sothing good was bound to happen. Maybe this ti the opportunity would fall into Tong Tong’s lap?
Indeed, her intuition was correct. Tang Shu had indeed sent Tong Tong’s profile to Director Liu Sijun, with four words noted after a video:
[Good value for money]
The now 2 million-fan strong beauty, Tong Tong, had made a na for herself with “Easy Rule Jianghu 2”, rapidly rising to fa in less than a month since the movie’s release, breaking Tang Shu’s previous records.
This was a strikingly beautiful actress with not just proficient acting skills, but also a powerful appearance and figure, winning the public’s favor was just a matter of ti.
Sure enough, Director Liu and Scriptwriter Wen were over the moon after reviewing her profile.
[Wenxin – Screenwriter]: “Oh my, she is the returnee elite I had in mind, elegant, endlessly charming, with a variety of manners, confident and unconstrained!”
[Director Liu Sijun]: “Alright, she’s the one!”
Tang Shu exited the group chat with a smile.

“Okay, we’ve arrived at the airport.”
A black business van stopped at the entrance of Imperial Capital Airport, with Tang Shu, fully prepared, standing at one side, opposite a tall figure who was holding a pink suitcase.
This kind of scene, witnessed by the bystanders, easily led them to one conclusion.
“Oh look, that couple is saying goodbye!”
“That man is so handso——just wonder if the girl is pretty? She certainly has a great figure!”
“Eh~~ they’re about to part and yet aren’t taking off their masks, aren’t the handso guy and beautiful lady going to share a farewell kiss?”
Jing Yu tightened his grip on the suitcase handle as he heard the whispers nearby.
“Are you sure it’s a ticket for returning after five days?”
“Yes, the ticket is already bought, it’s for the flight at 1 PM on the 28th.”
“I’ll co to pick you up then.”
“But won’t you have to work at that ti?”
“I’m the leader, what I say goes.”
Jing Yu unilaterally confird the itinerary for five days later, completely ignoring the driver’s increasingly strange looks as he proceeded, one hand pulling the suitcase, the other grabbing Tang Shu’s hand.
“Let’s go, I’ll walk you in.”
Warm big hands enveloping delicate smaller ones, Tang Shu was startled by his gesture, her gaze inadvertently shifted to the person beside her, just to see Jing Yu, who usually had a gentle deanor, appearing stern and impassive, his lips firmly pressed together.
He clearly looked very displeased.
“I’m only going ho for five days…”
It’s sumr vacation now, and isn’t it perfectly normal for a student to go ho? Why does this big boss seem so dejected?
The confused Tang Shu didn’t realize that their tightly clasped hands were their first intimate contact since their reconciliation, her thoughts already drifting back to last night.
