My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 593: The Consequences of Being Late 1

The financial director explained again, "Previously, Mr. Xiaoxi collaborated with Diyang on a project, which was said to be a screenplay pending activation that had a lot of money invested in it. Now, for the time being, it can’t be withdrawn;

Even if it could be withdrawn, it would put Huanya at a disadvantage, harming our future credibility, so I do not recommend taking such a measure."

This piece of news was as good as none.

Going head-to-head with Diyang was not something Zhao Shuqin wanted to consider just yet. After all, Bo Yan’s identity was still under question, and she needed to think carefully about how to act.

She couldn’t afford to take this risk.

Xi Nian’s shares were now firmly in her grasp. She had a great chance of succeeding at Huanya, but how to properly wrest control of Huanya from the elder was something that needed careful consideration.

With Zhao Shuqin steering Huanya, Xi Gu comfortably focused on rooting himself in the "Miss Rose" crew, and with Xi Nian’s incident, although the ownership of "City of Temptation" was held tightly by him, it did not prevent him from trying his best to thwart "City of Temptation."

The progress of "Miss Rose" steadily moved forward, and Catherine’s agent also informed her that there were significant internal problems at Huanya. After finishing "Miss Rose" and receiving the remaining payment, it was not worth mingling with Huanya under the current circumstances.

Seeing Xi Gu, who came to supervise the set every day, with his cool and aloof demeanor, Catherine looked down on him with some disdain, "You don’t need to say this, I’m well aware. Have you contacted Yan?"

Seeing that Catherine was still not giving up, her agent repeated Nick’s words, "Catherine, you should know what your brother means."

Catherine raised an eyebrow, "Are you my brother’s man or mine?"

The agent helplessly replied, "Catherine, this is not M country. If you really offend Bo Yan, I’m afraid he won’t spare anyone a glance."

Catherine snorted coldly, "He is a man who looks at the big picture, he won’t be that blind, your worry is superfluous."

The agent: "..."

For a whole week, despite the media trying in many ways, no one could ascertain Xi Nian’s exact situation. Reporters from various hospitals and media tried to check through their own channels.

However, many hospitals weren’t places they could stake out successfully as they wished.

For example, the hospitals under the Si Family and some politically affiliated hospitals, they could neither stake out nor dare to.

Bo Yan kept up with all these developments. Every other day, he would visit Xi Nian’s hospital room to exchange opinions. Xi Nian, having collaborated with Bo Yan several times, was extremely proficient.

He lay in the hospital room, incredibly at ease. Bo Yan pushed open the door, saw his relaxed demeanor, and frowned, "You seem to be in good spirits."

"Not entirely bad," Xi Nian said. "I found some clues from the past and was about to invite you over to take a look together. I didn’t expect that thinking of you would make you appear, a good omen."

"Purpose."

Xi Nian, "Huanya, all three of us brothers deeply despise it. In fact, whatever Huanya ends up becoming, we don’t care; our main goal is to avenge our parents. Now that I have found my sister, some of my plans need to be accelerated. Drawing the snake out of the hole is the best method."

Bo Yan’s deep gaze shifted, "You plan to use Yuran as bait? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it."

"Not Yuran. Yuran has nothing to do with Fu Yuran now. Even if she went, it wouldn’t actually be of use; I wouldn’t be so ignorant not to know that."

"Then what do you mean?"

"If you have a chance, bring Qiuyan here. I have some things I want to discuss with her."

Bo Yan understood Xi Nian’s plan almost immediately and watched him impassively, "Aren’t you worried that Yuran will ignore you afterwards?"

Xi Nian, "I am one hundred percent confident that nothing will happen to Qiuyan. In fact, someone will take her place; she just needs to appear briefly, just show her face."

"Let’s hear it."

It was three hours after Bo Yan left Xi Nian’s hospital room, he instructed his assigned person, "Be careful watching over him."

"Yes, Seventh Master."

...

After "City of Temptation" was handed over to Bo Yan to operate, Bo Yan entrusted this important task to Yuran, since it was her comeback work, and no one would be more dedicated than her. Thus, Yuran began clocking in and out of work at Diyang.

She spent every day in the post-production editing room at Diyang, discussing with the editors and supervising the process.

Seeing that it was almost time for Zhizhi to start kindergarten, they simply sent Zhizhi to the Imperial Inscription Platform.

Bo Yan’s mother and the retired Grand Commander Bo took care of Zhizhi.

At the Diyang side, Bo Yan had designated people specifically for Yuran’s use, who reported the progress of "Miss Rose" daily on time.

Through the reports, everything was proceeding smoothly; Catherine’s acting was indeed good, and Yuran was fortunate to have seen two clips.

Although Catherine had some discrepancies in understanding the era, there was no deviation in her characterization. After the director’s demands and guidance, her acting had significantly improved in quality.

Yuran couldn’t deny this.

She was a strong opponent.

At noon, Gui Yu and Annan came to visit the set together. Yuran saw the two arriving together and was slightly surprised, "Did you two run into each other outside?"

"Yes."

"No."

Annan and Gui Yu gave different answers, and Yuran looked puzzled. Annan glanced sideways at Gui Yu, her eyes almost spitting fire, while Gui Yu didn’t care and shrugged, "Did I say anything wrong?

Didn’t you meet me downstairs and we came up together?"

With the two rhetorical questions, Annan instantly shut up, glaring at Gui Yu hatefully without speaking.

Yuran raised her eyebrows, eating the fruits they had brought, and dismissed Gui Yu, "Director Gui, I’ve supervised quite a bit and edited quite a lot. You might want to check the quality."

"The technical staff at Diyang shouldn’t be too bad, right?" Gui Yu said unsurely.

Yuran just smiled silently, "You should verify it yourself, Director Gui. I’ll chat with Annan, if you don’t mind."

The clear intention to send him away was stated openly, leaving no choice but to go.

Gui Yu nodded and walked away.

...

As soon as Gui Yu left, Yuran didn’t touch the fruits anymore, her eyes smiling as she looked at Annan, "What exactly is going on between you and Gui Yu? You wouldn’t be getting together with Gui Yu because of the promise I made back then, would you?"

"Do I lack that little money?" Annan bristled, "It’s not like that."

"So, you mean there really is something between you two?"

Annan was at a loss for words, feeling somewhat aggrieved by Yuran’s probing, "Yuran, I’m your friend, are you setting a trap for me too?"

"Just be honest, if there’s nothing going on? Just tell me, what’s your relationship now?"

Annan touched her forehead, "Fire-pack friend?"

Pff...

Yuran stared at Annan’s slightly embarrassed face and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "That’s fresh, really avant-garde."

Yuran, "Enough about him, seeing that the release date of ’City of Temptation’ is approaching and the progress on ’Miss Rose’ is also steadily moving forward, haven’t you made any plans?"
