81 I’ll Do It

Rong Hua laid on the ground like a dead man. However, the people around him did not look at him. The director sat in his seat and ate as if nothing had happened.

The producer was a little anxious. He walked over to Xi Wan and said, “Mrs. Su, Mr. Rong is an investor of our production team. Please be gracious and let him off. If you get him drunk, he won’t be able to sign the contract later.”

Xi Wan looked at the producer in surprise and asked, “It’s already the opening ceremony now but you haven’t signed the contract yet?”

The producer was embarrassed and said, “This is Mr. Rong’s own request. He said that this would make it more ritualistic. That’s why we’ll leave the signing of the contract until the opening ceremony, and we’ll sign the contract in front of all the reporters.”

“You’re really tolerant to agree to his request. What if he suddenly goes back on his word during the opening ceremony and refuses to sign the contract? Are you guys going to continue filming this television series then?” Xi Wan said, “This guy doesn’t look like a reliable person at first glance. What I just said might happen. You should also pay attention in the future and don’t collaborate with such people anymore.”

“Yes, you’re right. Mrs. Su, you’ve taught me a valuable lesson.” The producer nodded and bowed, admitting his mistake. “But he’s our only investor now so he’ll have to show up at the opening ceremony later. Therefore, I hope you’ll be gracious and let him go.”

“I’ve already said so much just now and you still want him to be an investor? But there’s no benefit for you to collaborate with him.” Xi Wan shrugged. “Well, how about this? How much do you need to invest in your production? I’ll invest.”

“He’s currently the one we can find… What? You said you’re going to invest in our production?” The producer’s eyes widened in shock.

The director’s hand that had been eating finally stopped.

The system shouted: [What are you doing? This isn’t your mission, so you don’t have to do it.]

Xi Wan turned a deaf ear and continued to say to the producer, “Do you need a lot of money for this production? A few hundred million? Or a few billion?”

The system’s screen turned gray. It knew that Xi Wan would never listen to it.

“No! It’s just that I didn’t expect Mrs. Su to actually invest in our production team!” The producer was so touched that he almost burst into tears.

The director finally got up and walked to Xi Wan. He asked, “Mrs. Su, do you mean what you say?”

He still did not seem to believe it.

Xi Wan met the director’s gaze and said, “Do I look like I’m joking? I even brought people here to make your investor drink like this for my actress’s sake today. I was just too excited. Since that’s the case, I’ll definitely make it up to you.”

The director and the producer felt as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky. They were so happy that they were suddenly at a loss for what to do. How was this a compensation? This was clearly a surprise!

“I wonder if you have a contract? Let me have a look at it. I’ll sign it if there’s no problem. ” Xi Wan said.

The producer’s eyes lit up and he immediately found the contract that he was going to sign with Mr. Rong. Xi W looked at the contract carefully and said, “No problem, I’ll just sign it.”

After signing the agreement, Xi Wan became the investor of the production. She poured a glass of wine for herself and the director, then clinked their glasses and said, “Happy collaboration!”

This happened in a flash. When Rong Hua’s consciousness was a little clearer, he got up from the ground and said, “Mrs. Su, this wine is good, but I can’t drink it alone. You have to drink it too.”

Xi Wan did not want to hear this old hooligan speak, so she waved her hand and instructed the bodyguards, “Drag him out and throw him in the backyard. Let him sober up on his own.”

Rong Hua, who was in a daze, was lifted up by the bodyguards and thrown into the backyard.

“Now that the most troubling matter has been resolved, all that is left is just to eat. There’s no need to think about anything else.” Xi Wan smiled again.

[I thought you were here to save the damsel in distress. I didn’t expect you to become the investor of this production team! Doesn’t that mean you’ve indirectly become the female protagonist’s immediate boss?]

Xi Wan paused for a moment before she reacted and said, “I’m already the female protagonist’s boss.”

[Aren’t you doing this because of that? Why do you want to invest then?]

Xi Wan said seriously, “Because I have money. I have a lot of money so I can invest whenever I want.”

The system replied: [Thank you, I don’t want to hear these words ever again.]
