Kangwang quickly pulled the silly child over sneakily and whispered, “Nephew, come sit with me.”

Zhang Jian blinked his eyes in confusion, then came to a sudden realization. He thanked Kangwang and whispered, “Uncle, you’re really thoughtful. You must be afraid that there will be rumors if I sit with Jiang Xun, right?”

Kangwang was speechless.

Young man, with your EQ, I’m afraid you won’t be in any rumors or be in a scandal for a while.

When Mufeng returned to the living room, Shuidong called out to him, “Come and sit down and have some tea and rest.”

Mufeng saw that there was still an empty seat beside Jiang Xun, so he sat down quietly.

“Director Chen, when are you planning to start a new drama?” Shuidong refilled Mufeng’s cup with tea and asked Zilong.

“I’m currently preparing a series related to the anti-social personality.” Zilong couldn’t help but look at Jiang Xun.

Deng Xu even recommended Jiang Xun to him, saying that he could let Jiang Xun try out the role of the murderer with an anti-social personality in the new series.

This murderer wasn’t the main character. The main character was a righteous middle-aged police officer.

However, the murderer was a serial killer. In addition to the plot, she had an important role in the series.

She was definitely not a small supporting role.

He did not expect Deng Xu to recommend Jiang Xun to play such an important role.

To be honest, he did not trust Jiang Xun’s acting skills.

Even though Jiang Xun had already acted in Deng Xu’s play, it was only a small supporting role with a few scenes.

She occasionally had a wonderful performance or two, but that did not mean anything.

The murderer’s scenes were very important and challenging.

In the entertainment industry, he had yet to find an actor who could fully interpret the role, let alone Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun might be good, but could she compare to those experienced and outstanding actors?

Among so many actors, he had yet to find a suitable person. How could Jiang Xun be suitable?

The reason why he hadn’t turned on the camera was because he couldn’t find an actor who could play this murderer with an anti-social personality well.

Therefore, he definitely wouldn’t casually find Jiang Xun to play this role that he valued so much.

“Speaking of which, I was just about to hand you and Kangwang a book,” Zilong said to Shuidong. “You two can take a look and see if you’re interested in it later.”

Shuidong and Kangwang naturally agreed. Kangwang patted Zhang Jian on the shoulder. “Director Chen, if there are suitable roles in it, you should also think about our eldest nephew.”

“Definitely.” Zilong smiled and nodded. “The main reason is that the age of the main character in this show doesn’t match Little Zhang’s. I definitely can’t Let Little Zhang play a supporting role.”

“No, as long as the role is outstanding, I don’t care if it’s the main character or a supporting role.” Zhang Jian hurriedly said, “I’ve always been more concerned about the challenging nature of the role.”

“You said it yourself. Then I’ll really show you the script.” Zilong smiled and said.

“Of course!”

After everyone chatted for a while, Jiang Xun finally asked, “What are we going to do today? When the director introduced this program to me, he said that we’re going to do farm work.”

“Yo!” Shuidong was surprised. “You know what our program is about? I thought Director Hou tricked you into coming. Director Chen and Jingshen were tricked by Director Hou into coming.”

Jingshen held his forehead, “Director Hou told me that this program is a slow life program on a rural vacation. When you come, you don’t have to do anything. If the weather is bad, you can lie in the house. If the weather is good, you can bask in the sun and drink tea outside. If you have nothing to do, you can stroll around the village to look for inspiration for writing. Anyway, it sounds like a vacation in paradise. I didn’t expect that when I came in the morning, the Zhangs would take me to walk around the fields. They told me that we had to pull out all the weeds in the fields…”

“It’s 11 o’clock now. Let’s have a simple lunch. After lunch, we’ll be divided into two groups. One group will go to the fields to clear the weeds, and the other group will go to the mountains behind to dig for spring bamboo shoots,” Shuidong said. “After we come back, we’ll prepare dinner together.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“What did they say about the ingredients? Can we buy them ourselves?” Mufeng asked.

“We are earning money by digging up bamboo shoots and weeding,” Zhang Jian explained. “The bamboo shoots and the fields belong to our hometown. Our hometown will give us food stamps based on our work. Then, we will use the food stamps to find the program team to exchange for money. After exchanging the money, we can go to the nearby town to buy the ingredients. Today’s first episode isn’t too bad. The guests are allowed to bring their own ingredients, so we brought some over. After today’s work, we’ll go to our fellow villagers to exchange for food tickets. Otherwise, there won’t be any food tomorrow.”
