The next day, Wan went to Director Zhao to discuss the plot, but she unexpectedly bumped into Wang Ying at Director Zhao's place again.

"Brother Zhao, could she be the female lead of this movie?"

Wang Ying asked in disbelief when she saw Xiao Wan.

"That's right, Miss He is the main character of this movie. Her temperament is more suitable."

Director Zhao said without even looking at Wang Ying.

"Director Zhao, Miss Wang."

Because it was their second meeting, Little Wan called Wang Ying 'Miss' politely.

That night, Zhao Kai was discussing the start of the movie with the crew when he received a call from the Star King.

Although Zhao Kai had a premonition when he saw Wang Ying, he didn't expect her to act so quickly. Director Wen had actually told him that he hoped Wang Ying would be the main character.

"Director Wen, although Miss Wang is very popular, she is not suitable to be the female lead. The movie we are filming is a play by an ancient costume court, not a play by an idol."

Zhao Kai rejected Director Wen seriously. He was the same as Wan'er back then.

When he signed the contract with the Star King, he also had a rule: he must like the script and the actors should be chosen by him. He never thought that Director Wen would make such excessive demands for Wang Ying.

"Old Zhao, I believe in your ability. In addition to Wang Ying's popularity, this movie will sell a lot. However, if you use a new player, it will be very hard to predict."

On the other end of the phone, Star King's Vice President Wen Jingchen looked a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Wang Ying was lying on his chest. Zhao Kai's words were clearly not giving him any face as the boss.

"Director Wen, it's precisely because I'm the director that I'm responsible for this movie, so I adhere to my principles. If Miss Wang wants to participate, I can only say that I have to find a suitable role for her to play, but as for the main character, I can only say that I'm sorry."

Zhao Kai heard the woman's coquettish voice on the phone and his face turned even darker. Although he was not face-to-face with his, he could imagine that the woman was using a beauty trap in order to get this role.

To be honest, he somewhat hated female artists like them. However, he also knew that it wasn't their fault. If he really wanted to be wrong, then it would be those men. Men like Wen Jingchen.

Although Zhao Kai was the director, the one who paid for it was the boss. Neither side was willing to back down. In the end, Wen Jingchen gave in and said that he wanted to meet the female lead chosen by Zhao Kai.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Kai was especially furious. Although he was not a famous director from his own country, he had the greatest potential.

Although he did not shoot many movies and had only finished three so far, all of them were for show.

He had only signed the contract with the Star King a month ago, and he didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation in his first movie. How could he not be annoyed?

Wen Jingchen had reserved the time for tomorrow night, so how was he supposed to explain it to He Wan?

Although it was difficult and embarrassing to speak, they were all workers, so they had to endure. That day, it was too late, so he knew that Xiao Wan had a child so he didn't make a call.

At noon the next day, Little Wan received a call from Director Zhao that surprised her. Hearing his hesitation, she became even more puzzled.

In fact, she wasn't an idiot. Although Director Zhao kept saying that there were no unwritten rules, she had been mentally prepared since meeting Wang Ying yesterday.

She didn't care if she played the role of the main character. In any case, the contract was signed, and at least all of the 20 scenes she had acted in these five years were secondary. She didn't have any objections as long as the money was given to her.

"Director Zhao, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Seeing Zhao Kai on the other end of the phone constantly creaking and whining as if he had some sort of unspeakable addiction, Little Wan immediately said calmly.

"Miss He, I don't know. You know Wang Ying …"

Zhao Kai originally wanted to say that Wang Ying was now the Star King's vice president's woman, but he felt that her words were too gossipy and did not fit her identity. Hence, he hesitated.

"Director Zhao, is it that Wang Ying will be the star of this movie?"

Hearing Yue Kai mention Wang Ying, Little Wan immediately understood.

"Yes, that's not it either, it's just that …"

"Director Zhao, no need to make things difficult for me. Whether I play the role of the main character or not, I don't really care. No matter what role I play, I will take it seriously. Since this is what the authorities mean, I'll just change my role!"

Wan'er didn't hesitate at all. Instead, she comforted Director Zhao and told him not to take it to heart.

"Little Wan, that's not exactly what the higher-ups are saying. Vice President Wen said that he would like to see the main character, you, tonight."

Zhao Kai felt embarrassed, and he even felt that he had broken his promise in front of Little Wan.

Even though Wan'er didn't want to go, since the higher-ups wanted her to go, she could just change her.

However, upon considering Zhao Kai's predicament and the assistance Zhao Kai had given her, she decided to proceed forward.

Zhao Kai felt very embarrassed, so he offered to receive her, and he did not refuse.

At five o'clock, Zhao Kai arrived at Wan's residence. When he arrived, Wan'er was feeding the children.

"Director Zhao, please take a seat. I'll feed the child some rice paste."

"No problem, it's still early. I'll stay a while."

Zhao Kai sat down on the sofa and observed the interior of the room. Although the room was not big, it was tightly-knit and tidy. The furniture was also very simple and clean.

"Little Wan, this is your first time here. I forgot to bring a present for my child. I'll definitely make it up to you next time."

Zhao Kai walked over, looked at the little friend who was grinning at him and said while rubbing his head.

"There's no need to be so particular."

Little Wan's face was slightly red, and she was slightly embarrassed.

"Sister Wang, I'll leave An An to you. I'm going out tonight, so I might be a bit late. You can coax him to sleep first."

After feeding the child, Wan'er handed the small bowl to the nanny.

"Alright, go ahead. Child, don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Sister Wang put the bowl on the table and picked up the child.

"Your son is very beautiful and very cute."

Zhao Kai felt a little envious as he looked at the baby waving at Wan.

"Hmm, unfortunately, I don't have much time to accompany him. I always feel that I owe him."

As Wan'er spoke, she went into her room and changed into a pure colored dress.

"In the future, when he grows up, he will understand. You work so hard, all for his sake. In this world, mother is the greatest, mother's love the most selfless."

Wan was silent. Zhao Kai's words reminded her of her mother. All these years, if it wasn't for her, her mother wouldn't have stayed in the hospital so late.

All the way to the hotel, there was a suffocating atmosphere in the car. Zhao Kai felt bad about it, and since Wan'er didn't say anything, it wasn't good for him to say anything.

When the two of them arrived at the hotel, Wen Jingchen hadn't arrived yet. They sat there for about half an hour before Wang Ying arrived late with a man on his arm.

Although Wan'er had already thought of it, she still felt angry when she saw Wang Ying.

"Vice President Wen, Miss Wang."

Zhao Kai really didn't look like he was going to get up. However, the other party was his boss, so he had no choice but to get up.

Little Wan also stood up and greeted the two people who entered together with Zhao Kai.

"This must be Miss He. Hello, Miss He. I'm Wen Jingchen."

Wen Jingchen stretched out his hand to the little Wan. A man like Wen Jingchen would usually be able to see the essence of a woman with a single glance, but looking at this woman called He Wan, he felt a little lost.

From her information, she should still be a student, but her cold eyes made people feel guilty for no reason, like she was a judge.

With just a glance, he understood why Zhao Kai insisted on using her.

He had also seen the script. When the two of them compared notes, she was indeed more suited to act the unlucky princess.

Since the two men had already made up their minds, this meal was purely for the sake of eating. There was no longer any need to say anything else.

However, as Little Wan looked at this man, she felt a little puzzled.

In his memory, the man from that night looked similar to this man, so he felt a little uneasy.

As if her choice of acting was wrong, she was a little afraid.

"Boss Wen …"

While eating, there was someone who didn't know what was going on. Wang Ying shook Wen Jingchen's arm and said in a coquettish voice.

"Zhao Kai, can you arrange a suitable role for Miss Wang in the movie?"

Wen Jingchen felt a bit helpless. Women were always this greedy. They always liked to use their own bodies as bargaining chips and as a weapon.

He wasn't tired of her yet, so he could bear it for the time being, and when he got tired of her that day, she was nothing.

"I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee that every episode will have its share."

Zhao Kai said bluntly.

Although Wang Ying was very popular, but she also liked to play the big card. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to serve this' Crown Princess Consort '.

"Jing Chen, don't you want to play a supporting role …"

Hearing this, Wang Ying's face turned green. This meant that she was still a supporting role. She didn't want to play a supporting role, especially since the main character was a new player. She didn't want to be a green leaf.

Looking at the cold and indifferent Little Wan, Wang Ying shook Wen Jingchen vigorously. He wanted to flaunt his identity as the 'Crown Prince's consort', but he also wanted to test his place in Wen Jingchen's heart.

"Xiao Ying, you have to believe in Director Zhao. He is the director. Whatever role you think is suitable for you, you have to play. Plus, actors have to play different roles and try different things to improve."

Wen Jingchen lightly patted Wang Ying's arm. Although it sounded like she was trying to persuade her, it was a warning.

Although he was the boss, it was impossible for the boss to use the benefits of the company to please a woman, not to mention that he had a dad on top of him.

Although this meal was a delicacy, no one knew if there was someone who could really enjoy it.

This meal was like a romantic scene between Vice President Wen and his female companion. Zhao Kai was worried that Wan'er would feel awkward, so he looked at her from time to time. However, he discovered that she was still very graceful and calmly tasting the delicacies.

Afterwards, Wang Ying seemed to be a bit angry and actually said that she was not feeling well and wanted to leave first.

"Director Wen, my stomach is aching. I'll take my leave first."

Seeing that acting coquettishly would not work, Wang Ying stood up and put on the temper of a young miss.

"Really? Then you should take a taxi back first. I still have something to do tonight."

Although Wen Jingchen's expression didn't change, his eyes looked at Wang Ying warningly.

When Wang Ying saw this, she clenched her teeth and stomped her seven inch high heels.

"Miss He, I heard from Director Zhao that your comprehension ability is extremely high. I wonder what kind of unique insight you have towards this movie?"

After Wang Ying left, Wen Jingchen immediately put on a standard smile and said to Xiao Wan.

Little Wan put down her chopsticks and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. She slowly explained her understanding of the situation and her views.

Wen Jingchen had originally only been looking for a random topic to talk about, but he hadn't thought that Little Wan would have such a thorough understanding of the character.

At the side, the more Zhao Kai listened, the bigger the smile on his face grew.

He had a premonition that the play would be popular.

He was looking forward to it. He believed in his eyes, and he also believed in this script.

Perhaps this movie would be able to achieve both him and Little Wan.

Zhao Kai knew that Wan's family still had other children waiting to be fed, so he looked at his watch and at around 9 PM, he asked to send her home.

"Director Zhao, you wouldn't have any selfish thoughts towards this movie, right?"

Wen Jingchen half-jokingly said when he saw Zhao Kai's enthusiasm.
