Chapter 2167: Chapter 2166: You’re Still the Impressive One
“I also want to try. I see Ziyi acting so well, but unfortunately, I have no opportunity and can only do odd jobs.”
At this point, a trace of disappointment flashed in Zhang Minghui’s eyes, and he quickly added, “Aunt, if your script needs a child, don’t write that kid too pretty, write it a bit uglier, so I can play it.”
“Is this how you define yourself?” Wen Jin chuckled, unable to hold back.
Zhang Minghui laughed self-deprecatingly, “I know my own weight, I can’t play roles like Ziyi, I can play uglier and sillier roles.”
Jing Xiaocha glanced at Zhang Minghui with a smile, “You’re being too modest, even though you aren’t as handsome as Ziyi, you’re not ugly either. If you have dreams in this area, there will surely be opportunities.”
“Your aunt is right, you will definitely have a chance.”
“Ziyi also said so, he even said he’d tell the director to add a role like a bookboy for me.”
While saying this, Zhang Minghui’s eyes were sparkling with three parts excitement, two parts anticipation, and one part bashfulness.

After breakfast, Wen Jin insisted on taking Jing Xiaocha to Star Summer Film and Television Company.
The reason Jing Xiaocha couldn’t accompany Zhang Minghui to the set was because she received a call from Star Summer Film and Television before going downstairs.
They asked her to attend a meeting to discuss the selection of actors, shooting schedules, and other matters.
Originally, Jing Xiaocha also wanted to go to the company to submit her completed script to Jin Yunchang for review and make any necessary revisions.
But Jing Xiaocha didn’t want to trouble Wen Jin and politely declined, “Brother Wen, you don’t have to take me, I’ll let Uncle Wang take me, you should go to work.”
With the holidays approaching, there’s definitely a lot to handle right now.
Jing Xiaocha didn’t want to waste Wen Jin’s time or appear overly delicate by having him personally escort her.
“Didn’t I say, you have to get used to this in the future?”
“But it’s out of your way.”
Jing Xiaocha understood what Wen Jin meant; he had told her before to get used to his kindness.
Wen Jin shook his head with a smile, “It’s not out of the way. I’m the boss; I can get there a bit later. Let’s go, otherwise, you’ll be late.”
Unable to refuse Wen Jin’s thoughtfulness, Jing Xiaocha had to comply.
Sitting in the passenger seat, even before Wen Jin could fasten the seatbelt for her, Jing Xiaocha had already done it herself.
Because last night, the relationship between the two became more subtle and closer.
Jing Xiaocha felt a bit uneasy, but Wen Jin was calm, as if he had already assumed the role.
Seeing Jing Xiaocha so quiet, Wen Jin found topics to chat about with her on the way, and they happened to run into Jin Zheyu at Star Summer Film and Television.
Seeing Jing Xiaocha get out of Wen Jin’s car, Jin Zheyu’s expression darkened, and he resisted the urge to come over and greet her, heading towards the company instead.
“Call me when you’re done, and I’ll pick you up.”
Wen Jin’s gaze moved from the departing Jin Zheyu to Jing Xiaocha outside the car, and he said kindly.
Jing Xiaocha waved to Wen Jin, “Brother Wen, I’ll take a taxi home later.”
“Call me.”
Wen Jin’s voice was soft, but the tone was dominantly assertive.
Jing Xiaocha hesitated slightly, then nodded gently, “Alright, I’ll call you later.”
“If you run into Jin Fengjiao, don’t be polite.”
After the scandal last time, the Zheng family and the Jin family fell out, making it impossible for Zheng Shirui to show up here again.
However, Wen Jin remembered that Jin Fengjiao was still not fond of Xiaocha.
“I understand, Brother Wen.”
“Go on in,” Wen Jin smiled slightly and said softly.
Watching Jing Xiaocha enter the company’s revolving door, Wen Jin started the car and drove away.
As soon as he reached the pharmaceutical factory, Wen Jin received a call from Mo Xiuchen.
Mo Xiuchen’s cheerful voice came through the line, “Ah Jin, I have good news for you.”
Wen Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, walked to the desk, sat down, and casually asked, “What good news?”
“Didn’t I mention last time, there must be unspeakable secrets between Jin Yunchang and Zheng Liangzhu? After a few days of investigation by Qing Feng and Qing Yang, there’s now some clues and signs.”
A trace of surprise flashed across Wen Jin’s face, “That fast? Do they really have an unspeakable secret between them? But haven’t they fallen out now?”
Because of Jin Zheyu exposing Zheng Shirui’s scandal, Jin Yunchang also opposed Zheng Shirui marrying into the Jin family.
And Zheng Liangzhu resented Jin Zheyu for ruining his daughter’s reputation.
It’s said that Zheng Liangzhu initially planned to invest heavily in film and television, but now the two have turned against each other, and he not only stopped investing but also withdrew previous funds.
Wen Jin thought that Jin Yunchang personally calling Xiaocha today was not just about discussing scripts and filming.
That old fox Jin Yunchang naturally knows who’s behind Jing Xiaocha.
“Yeah, they’ve fallen out, but both are still keeping the previous secret, I suppose neither of them dares to let it out.”
Mo Xiuchen’s voice held a trace of sarcasm, “Zheng Shirui’s case is about to go to court, right? Will Xiaocha attend?”
“She will. Last time, she already repaid Jin Zheyu’s favor, there’s no reason to keep getting hurt by Zheng Shirui without fighting back.”
Though kind, Jing Xiaocha is no fool to be bullied.
“That’s good. Even if Xiaocha keeps backing down, the Zheng family won’t be grateful. Conversely, Zheng Liangzhu still resents you and Xiaocha. Be cautious, and let Xiaocha be careful too.”
“Did you receive some news?”
Wen Jin, recently busy with factory matters, hadn’t paid much attention to Zheng Liangzhu’s movements.
“Yes, I did get some news. Do you remember Uncle Ming? He told Ah Mu that Zheng Liangzhu seemed to find his people but was rejected.”
If Mo Xiuchen hadn’t brought it up, Wen Jin would have genuinely forgotten.
But with this reminder, Wen Jin recalled that Uncle Ming is Ah Mu’s friend, who had been quite helpful when Ranran was in danger.
