Chapter 1538: Meeting

Nan Jiaojiao managed to score a breakfast at the Mo Family’s place, and when she left, Bo Yanching drove her away. She couldn’t stop thinking about Mo Tingshen’s family chef, having tasted it once and realized Mo Tingshen truly knew how to enjoy life. After Bo Yanching found out, he took her to freeload a meal every now and then.

Early in the morning, she was actually dragged out for a run. As they ran, the path veered off a bit, so Bo Yanching called Mo Tingshen and asked him to send a car to pick them up for breakfast.

Mo Tingshen was quite frustrated, his sleep-in plans dashed. With Nan Jiaojiao there, he couldn’t lose his temper or show any displeasure, lest the sensitive little girl overthink it. After providing good food and drink, he still had to have the kitchen pack some pastries, sending her off with a good mood.

After going back and changing clothes, Nan Jiaojiao arrived at the company and ran into Shen Bin in the elevator, who pulled her into a meeting.

In the meeting room, Su Miaotong was also there.

“Master Su?”

Su Miaotong smiled, “I went to find Director Qin, I’m joining this project too. From now on, I’ll be working with you. Let’s exchange some initial ideas.”

Nan Jiaojiao was quite happy inside. She knew Su Miaotong was concerned about her, having pushed off several clients’ deals.

Actually, working alongside Shen Bin made her a bit uneasy.

Nan Jiaojiao pulled out a chair and first invited Shen Bin to sit. She still had to maintain the posture of a junior in public, and the other party politely thanked her. Nan Jiaojiao nodded in response and then took a roundabout route to sit next to Su Miaotong.

Shen Bin subtly glanced down and smiled, “I’ve got the general idea. This film aims to win awards, and it’s a remake of a Republic-era drama from over twenty years ago. The female lead is the top performer at a brothel, and the male lead is a playboy. Most of their emotional exchanges happen in the brothel. The man’s family opposes and tags the woman as a spy. Later, the leading couple’s resistance fails, and under feudal oppression, they both die. However, the outcome flips; the playboy is afraid to die, switching out the poison in advance, and sells the female lead’s body to an enemy nation for experimentation. The female lead was incredibly popular at the time, making her ‘spy’ label, something she wanted to get rid of all her life, cemented by her beloved, leaving her uneasy even in death. In the end, the male lead regrets it, and after his family’s decline, lives the rest of his life in a heartbreak and misery.”

Su Miaotong flipped through the documents, “I’ve read the script too. Since it’s a remake, we’ll only be making some subtle changes. Director Chen is always strict about keeping scripts secret. He probably trusts us, giving us the whole script, which I’ve just collected from Director Qin.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s mouth twitched.

Elder Chen, that old fox, how could he be trusting?

It’s just that he’s aware of her presence here; the script is intentionally shown to her.

It’s not from being overly unconcerned about leaks. Everyone involved in the project has signed confidentiality agreements, and anyone tempted to chat indiscriminately must consider the bunch of zeros after the breach penalty.

“What’s up, Jiaojiao?” Su Miaotong just happened to notice Nan Jiaojiao’s unusual expression.

She thought about it and understood, “Oh right, you’ve worked with Director Chen before, do you have any insights to share with us?”

Nan Jiaojiao was a bit startled. Was she that bad at hiding her expression?

But it’s also not surprising; there are just three people in the meeting room.

Shen Bin’s gaze also landed on her, smiling as he asked, “Indeed, Jiaojiao share with us. We’ll all be colleagues on the same project, sharing victories and defeats.”

“This—why not ask President Pei?”

“President Pei is so busy; it’s uncertain if he’s even at the company today. Jiaojiao, whatever you know, just tell us frankly, don’t worry too much.”
