Chapter 27: 26. Sign a combination contract

Xu Cheng’s attitude towards Luo Lin was undoubtedly excellent.

Now that Tang Shu had signed the contract for “Heroes in Troubled Times” today, her future in Xie Yunqing’s films was bound to catch fire.

He always took seriously anyone the director took a fancy to, especially when it was the only person who got the role without an audition.

This was the keen eye he had developed over his years in the entertainment industry.

“Here’s the thing…”

In just a few words, Luo Lin explained what had happened, essentially to prove that Mu Ziwei had been present at the film audition during the variety show recording.

After listening, Xu Cheng pondered for a while, “This issue isn’t too difficult to resolve, but our crew isn’t supposed to leak audition information about the actors, at least not publicly.”

Upon hearing this, Sister Luo understood his implication.

Officially it might not be possible, but the information…that could still be provided.

After all, Tang Shu was now part of the crew, so how could she join with a dark scandal hanging over her head?

“I understand, please rest assured, Assistant Xu, this will not cause any trouble for the crew.”

Upon hearing this, a deep smile formed in Xu Cheng’s eyes.

“Very well, I’ll send the information you need to your email later.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Assistant Xu.”

The two shook hands and exchanged understanding smiles, reaching a private consensus.

That night, Sister Luo handed over the information Xu Cheng sent her to the company’s assistant.

“Since Wang Zheng wants to use the media’s big Vs to throw this dirty water on Tang Shu’s head, why don’t we splash it back?”

“Does Sister Luo mean… to reveal some of the information to a few big Vs nonchalantly, staying out of it ourselves, letting them handle it?”

“Exactly, Tang Shu originally didn’t have enough popularity to catch these big Vs’ attention, but Mu Ziwei just wouldn’t clarify it to her fans. Do you think those big Vs could stay indifferent to the chance of slapping a top actress in the face?”

“No, that would be a perfect opportunity to gain followers and attention!”

Xiao Li’s eyes sparkled over the phone; with this, their company needn’t lift a finger.

After all, even if an artist personally got into a fight, it could still look rather unsightly.

They were a high-standard entertainment company; they certainly couldn’t waste their energy on such trivial matters!

The enthusiastic assistant harnessed his thinking and decisively took over the follow-up of the issue.

“Don’t worry, Sister Luo, leave it to me. I guarantee it’ll be handled perfectly, and by tomorrow, Tang Shu will be cleared from this dirty water.”

“Good, I’ll leave the rest to you, I’m boarding now.”

After meticulously explaining, Luo Lin rushed back to Yun Province overnight.

***

Yun Province, an ancient village.

That very night, after a warm reception from the villagers, everyone had the most lavish dinner of the past three days.

After dinner, Yin Dong gathered everyone in the hall for a meeting.

“Let’s all share our thoughts on how we can help the villagers get rich.”

“Okay, I’ll start…”

Once everyone had expressed their opinions with much discussion, half an hour had passed.

Among those present, Best Actor Lin was holding the notes he wrote today, which included all the handmade products of the villagers and everyone’s recent suggestions.

Before long, a local brought over a pot of fine tea, along with a set of tea utensils.

Lin Yi received the tea and gave the elder a gentle smile, placing the items in front of everyone.

Shen Xianglin glanced at it and asked, “Big Brother Lin, did you arrange this?”

“Yes, I took a walk outside the village this afternoon and noticed many tea gardens nearby, so I inquired about them. It turns out that every family here has more than ten acres of tea gardens, so I got some tea leaves from the locals that they produced.”

Lin Yi poured a cup for each person, the boiling water streaming finely from the spout of the teapot, instantly filling the room with fragrance.

“What’s this smell, it’s really nice!”

“Yeah, Big Brother Lin, do you know what kind of tea this is?”

The people seated were from the entertainment industry, and most did not have the habit of drinking tea regularly, only sensing the rich fragrance emanating from their teacups.

Everyone picked up the cup in front of them and brought it to their nose to smell.

Zeng Xiumin looked disdainfully at the teacup for a moment, but since everyone else was appraising it, she reluctantly steeled herself to take a sip.

When Lin Yi smelled the aroma, a look of surprise also flashed in his eyes, and the crow’s feet at the corner of his eyes seemed to crinkle with delight.

“Does anyone know what kind of tea this is?”

Tang Shu took a light sip and said, “Smooth and sweet aftertaste, rich in flavor, it’s white tea.”

“Right! I didn’t expect Tangtang to be so knowledgeable. This is indeed white tea, and it’s a matured tea that the locals have kept for three years.”

Upon hearing it have been kept for three years, Zeng Xiumin almost threw the teacup in her hand away.

“Three years?! Can it still be drunk? Isn’t it spoiled?!”

Lin Yi glanced at her, withdrew his gaze, and said indifferently, “White tea is known as ‘one-year tea, three-year treasure, and seven-year miraculous medicine.’ The older it is stored, the superior the taste becomes.”

Excited by the words, Shen Xianglin said, “This place is secluded, and the Program Team also mentioned they don’t go out often. If every household has about ten acres of tea gardens, that means they all have many aged teas!”

“Yes, the tea is so mellow, and the villagers have a large stock of it, it’s all treasure indeed!”

Lin Yi smiled and scanned the eyes of everyone present, deliberately ignoring Zeng Xiumin.

“So, how about we help the villagers sell this white tea?”

“That’s a good idea, but at the moment the tea is not yet packaged, and besides, we are not clear about how much stock the villagers have, so we probably can’t proceed in the next two days.”

Everyone naturally didn’t want to sell these fine teas casually.

After all, these were the villagers’ most precious possessions over many years, and only by making the first sale go well could they solve the annual tea sales problem for the villagers in the future.

After consulting with the Program Team, everyone unanimously decided to officially launch the white tea on the day the program aired.

And during this phase, they would have the packaging, business license, authentication, and everything else prepared for the white tea.

“Whoa~~~, so the ultimate problem is solved just like that?”

“Yes, it’s solved!”

“It’s Best Actor Lin who has the vision. A casual stroll and he spots such treasures, otherwise, we would still be struggling.”

Lin Yi merely smiled without speaking, knowing full well the Program Team’s tactics. If this ancient village didn’t have anything substantial to offer, how could they air the show?

No doubt Director Lin had a plan in mind already.

It wasn’t just him who thought this way; even Tang Shu felt there was something fishy about the whole thing.

But…

Her gaze passed through the wooden window to the Exquisite Plant bathed in the moonlight outside, her eyes lighting up with a hint of mirth.

This trip wasn’t in vain, was it?
