Zhang Zhang nodded in agreement. “This script is melodramatic, but the director is Wang Shen! Are you really not going to compete for the role?”

Shi Lu was speechless. “Wang Shen is directing such a lousy script? Looks like his taste in choosing scripts is average. The Golden Magnolia Best Director Award is also very lousy. Why do you insist on starring in his drama?”

Zhang Zhang was rendered speechless by this young master’s words. “Please, I know that you’re just in for the experience and don’t care about this bit of fame, but can you not speak nonsense? Moreover, the really outstanding aspect about this script is the character and growth of the male and female leads. The female lead is decisive and definitely doesn’t drag things out. Moreover, her martial arts skills are off the charts. She’s the perfect female lead!”

The more Shi Lu listened to the description of the female lead, the more familiarity he felt. Wasn’t this his sister-in-law’s persona? With his sister-in-law’s authority, the three rebels in their family were every bedient to her.

Moreover, Shi Lu had heard about his sister-in-law whipping Tan Zhao and Shi Bin. He was also afraid of her belt and was afraid that it would hit him one day.

At the thought of that belt, Shi Lu felt so afraid that goosebumps appeared on his body. He quickly shook his head to get this matter out of his mind.

“Now that you mention it, I’m suddenly interested in this script again.” Shi Lu smiled with interest.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to Wang Shen, so you can talk to the director directly.”

With that, Zhang Zhang stood up and curled her finger at Shi Lu.

Shi Lu finished the wine in his glass in one gulp and placed it on the chair before following Zhang Zhang.

Before he could take two steps, an attendant stopped him and stuffed a room card into his hand. “Mr. Shi, your sister-in-law instructed me to look for you. She said that she was a little drunk and is resting in her room for a while. When you’re done, you should go pick her up.”

After Shi Lu took the black and gold VIP room card, he became a little worried. He remembered that his sister-in-law didn’t like to drink the cocktails here, so she probably wouldn’t drink it. Moreover, with her alcohol tolerance, how could she get drunk so easily?

However, he then remembered that his sister-in-law had been with Mu Zhou when she left just now. This was only the second time she had met Mu Zhou, so they didn’t know each other very well. What if Mu Zhou had drugged his sister-in-law…

Shi Lu didn’t dare to think further. He hurriedly told Zhang Zhang that she had something on and ran towards the elevator. He didn’t even have time to pay attention to Zhang Zhang.

On the other side, Yuan Shu had just finished listening to Mu Zhou tell her about the script. She felt that this story was familiar, but it also seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mystery that made people unable to see it clearly.

She asked, “What’s the ending?”

Mu Zhou replied, “The female lead got married to the top scorer of the martial arts subject.”

Yuan Shu was puzzled. “The female lead and the humanities top scorer were so deeply entangled before. Why did she choose to marry the martial arts top scorer?”

Mu Zhou looked at Yuan Shu calmly. “Yes, I’m also curious as to why she chose him…”

Mu Zhou’s eyes were filled with disappointment. For a moment, Yuan Shu seemed to have the illusion that she heard Mu Zhou playing “Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix” again, and that sense of vicissitude appeared in Mu Zhou’s eyes again.

Yuan Shu stared at him in a daze, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end, she stopped.

Mu Zhou suddenly smiled gently once again. The faint smile on his lips was like the sun finally shining through layers of the dark clouds.

“Yuan Shu, since you’re so curious, why don’t we look for the director? I really think you’re very suitable for this female lead role.”

Yuan Shu wanted to say that she didn’t know how to act at all, but she was very interested in this story and couldn’t help but want to experience what it was like to be an actress.

Yuan Shu and Mu Zhou walked towards the most lively place in the banquet hall.

The ioo-meter-long crystal chandelier in the banquet hall emitted a gentle light, enveloping this luxurious place. Wang Shen was naturally the focus of everyone’s attention and was surrounded by people as they discussed the next movie.

Naturally, everyone wanted to participate in this new movie filmed by the most popular director.

At this moment, Wang Shen was chatting with Lin Feng and Lin Feng’s manager. It seemed like they were also discussing this script.

When Wang Shen saw Mu Zhou, he stopped talking to them. Instead, he smiled and shook the cocktail in his hand at Mu Zhou..
