I Transmigrated As A Villain's Mother

As soon as Lu Gan entered, Qian Wu stood up in surprise. “Lu Gan?”

“Yes. It’s me,” Lu Gan replied.

Qian Wu silently looked at Song Ci. This was her friend? An employee was friends with the boss? Even though it was only an employee contract, there was no way the boss was just an attendant. Was it all a cover? Was this meeting not just to sign a contract with him? Did she know that Lu Gan was personally going to appear?

Qian Wu’s had a look of disdain on his face, but in his heart, he was overjoyed. The corners of his mouth turned upward, slightly smug. He was a genius! In order to successfully sign him, even the boss of Sunshine Media, Lu Xin, had personally come to see him. As expected of a young and talented director. Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Lu Gan, who was standing. “Are you done?”

Lu Qian nodded again. “Yes.”

“You really are a man of few words,” Qian Wu commented. “What’s wrong? Couldn’t wait to see how good I was after knowing that your company wanted to sign me? When did you become so unreserved?”

Lu Gan felt that Qian Wu was not only overthinking but a little talkative too. “I’m just here to send Song Ci off.”

Qian Wu did not believe Lu Gan’s words. Why would Lu Gan, a favored son of the heavens, lower his status for a small star like Song Ci? He was definitely here to accept him, the talented director! He knew that as long as he persevered, his talent as a director would not be lost! However, even if Lu Gan thought highly of him, he still had to say what was on his mind. “I’m going to say this first. I won’t lower my standards just because you’re the boss and are here personally.”

“As you wish.” Lu Gan decided not to speak.

Qian Wu then turned to Song Ci and consoled her. “Don’t feel pressured. Lu Gan came mainly to test me. I understand that this has nothing to do with you.”

Song Ci was speechless. “Oh… Um, you really are considerate, Director Qian Wu.”

“That’s just the way I am. I’ve always taken care of people,” Qian Wu replied without modesty.

Sitting beside them, Shi Mingyu, who had not said a word, silently held his forehead. He quietly tugged Qian Wu’s clothes and whispered, “CEO Lu and Song Ci have known each other for a long time. CEO Lu even came to visit Song Ci on set before. They… are very good friends. Shut up…” He had a feeling that something was going on between the two. However, without the people involved clarifying anything, he could not say anything directly. Moreover, this world was harsh on female stars. If it were a man who had a good relationship with the boss, everyone would say that they were brothers. If it were a woman… That would mean she was being kept as a mistress and had unspoken rules.

Qian Wu was confused. How could someone like Lu Gan have a good relationship with Song Ci? He rarely went home in the past year. While he did not know much about Lu Gan, that did not mean he had not heard rumors. Lu Gan was famous for being arrogant and domineering.

Shi Mingyu facepalmed again. He no longer wanted to talk to Qian Wu, a man with no emotional intelligence.

Qian Wu looked at Shi Mingyu’s helpless expression and once again looked at Song Ci with suspicion. This time, he seemed to have noticed something, his gaze immediately becoming subtle.

Song Ci smiled and pulled out a chair. She sat down and handed the contract over. “Let’s take a look at the contract first.”

Qian Wu took it and looked at it for a long time. Finally, he looked at Lu Gan and Song Ci. “Once I sign the contract, when will Sunshine Media give me the funds and start filming?”

“That will depend on your request. If it’s fast, we can start by this fall and winter,” Song Ci explained.

Qian Wu had obviously thought this through before he came. He immediately said, “I’ll be quick. I’ll look for a sponsor in the next two months, and it’ll be done around October. As for the cast, I’ll accept priority auditions for the cast from Sunshine Media. However, if the audition doesn’t go well, I won’t compromise. Of course, you’re an exception. I already have a level of understanding of your acting skills. The fact that you’re the female lead won’t change.”

“Sure.” Song Ci had no objections to this.

Seeing this, Qian Wu began listing out the many conditions for the movie, with Song Ci agreeing to most of them. Only then was Qian Wu satisfied. He took out the contract he had prepared. This time, it was a contract for his movie. “Then I’ll have to trouble CEO Lu to sign it.” He had wanted Song Ci to sign it, but since the boss was here, he would let Lu Gan sign it.
