Chapter 982


    "Alright, then you have to promise me that you''ll be tricked by me for the rest of your life. I won''t


    even ept it if it''s one less month, day, or second!" Liang Xinran said solemnly.


    "Yes." Gu Jingyuan lowered his head and reached out to hold the back of her head. He pulled her in


    his direction and lowered his head to kiss her heavily.


    ***


    After the results of the trial came out, there was also news on the Inte.


    The voices that were scolding the Li family and Gu Jingyuan finally subsided and turned to scold the


    Yue family.


    Some people also went to scold Shi Jin.


    However, Shi Jin did not have a close rtionship with the Yue family. Everyone knew that she only


    returned to the Yue familyter, so these curses made no sense.


    Moreover, the entire Imperial Capital knew that Old Madam Yue was famous for doting on Yue


    Ling''s family. Her rtionship with Yue Feng''s family had always been very distant. She had also


    lived with Yue Ling''s family for a long time. Previously, she had even caused a hugemotion


    because she wanted Shi Jin''s kidney.


    Therefore, the small-scale noise could no longer affect Shi Jin and Liang Xinran.


    Liang Xinran''s new television drama also began to be


    inquired by various tforms and television stations.


    The producer, Mr. Wu, did not know if he should be happy or sad. This television drama had almost


    died a premature death previously. Fortunately, thanks to Shi Jin, they were able to continue filming


    it.


    Now that many families wanted to buy the rights, he had no choice but to refuse.


    When Gu Jingyuan learned that Shi Jin had spent a lot of money on this television drama, he asked


    her out for a meeting.


    When Shi Jin arrived, Gu Jingyuan had already ordered a cup of her usual coffee.


    "Big Brother, why are you looking for me so urgently?"


    "On Xinran''s side, you bought her show for twice the price. I''ll make up the money. After all, you


    spent it because of me."


    Shi Jin took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Brother, why didn''t you see that I''m a businesswoman


    first? I bought this drama only because I invested in it in advance."


    "But I can''t let you suffer a loss."


    "Compared to the others, I know what''s going on with you, and I know that Xinran''s acting will be


    recognized. In other words, I know myself that this show is bound to make money. Even if I buy it for


    twice the price, I''ll still make a profit. That''s my most obvious advantage as a businesswoman—to


    understand what others don''t know." Shi Jin smiled. "Doesn''t the feedback from the market now


    make that clear?"

    Gu Jingyuanughed involuntarily. "Then it seems that I''ve underestimated your business acumen."


    "When this show is on and we make money, I''ll treat you and Xinran to a meal," Shi Jin said with a


    smile. "Don''t snatch this business from me."


    "Okay, then I''ll wait for the TV show to start. I''ll wait for your treat."


    Shi Jin lifted her coffee to clink sses with him. "May this business venture go well."


    "It will go smoothly." Gu Jingyuan touched her cup.


    ■k-k-k


    Within days, the new show began to attract investors to air.


    The effect of the recruitment was not bad. After the broadcast, because of the quality, and because


    everyone felt very rxed when filming, the effect was quite good.


    Although it was not a big hit, it was a very good show. This was of great help to Liang Xinran''s


    career. Soon, more scripts came knocking on her door.


    As the series became popr, many actors in the series also gained poprity and traffic. As a


    result, they received a lot of attention and also received many subsequent script invitations.


    Come to think of it, the people who''d left in the first ce were probably regretting it now. They''d


    thought the show wouldn''t air, but it had gone much more smoothly than the resources they''d


    chosenter, and the results had been better.


    Naturally, Shi Jin''s double investment was not in vain.


    Time TV thus reaped more actual benefits and poprity than expected.


    As a result, Time TV quickly prepared to go public.


    Shi Jin flipped through the various required information while Fu Xiuyuan sat at the side and took


    the information for review.


    After watching for a while, he looked up and realized that Shi Jin was no longer there.


    He tilted his head to look out the window. The floor-to-ceiling window reflected Shi Jin''s figure in the


    back garden. She was walking around, picking flowers and leaves.


    Fu Xiuyuan smiled and lowered his head to continue reading.


    A momentter, a sweet scent reached him.


    He looked up again. Shi Jin was holding a fresh cup of tea and cing it in front of him.


    "Try it. It''s my newly brewed tea leaves with freshly bloomed jasmine."


    Fu Xiuyuan picked it up and took two or three sips before putting down the teacup. "Sweet and


    fragrant. Very nice."


    "Well, drink more then." Shi Jin sat down again.


    ***


    Time TV''s listing went very smoothly.


    Within a few days, it was officially approved and put on the market.


    After Time TV went public, Shi Jin chose a more behind-the-scenes approach.


    "I heard that you don''t take scripts casually now. Those directors are all sighing that it''s a pity," Yao


    Jiahong said. "My phone is about to explode with calls from them recently."


    "There are quite a number of female artistes on the market. Ourpany should hurry up and


    nurture them. Even if I take on three or four dramas or movies a year, I won''t be able to finish so


    many scripts on the market."


    "Yeah, so we''ll just have to train more new people," Yao Jiahong said with a smile. "So what''s your


    schedule these days?"


    "I''ve got a new script with a director to shoot. Why don''t you sort it out for me these days?"


    Fu Xiuyuan walked over and Yao Jiahong stood up to greet him before leaving.


    Shi Jin greeted him with a smile. "I won''t be joining the production team for the next six months. I''ll


    probably handle a script with the team. I''ll have a lot of time for you in the future."


    "Choosing more behind-the-scenes work. Do you like it yourself, or is it because you want to spend


    more time with me?"


    "It''s both." Shi Jin smiled at him. "It''s not a conflict, is it?"


    Fu Xiuyuan looked down. "I''m afraid you''ll give up a lot of your dreams for me. That''s not what I


    want to see."


    "No. I''ll love myself more before I love you. All dreams can be coordinated for life, but not


    compromised."


    Fu Xiuyuan said solemnly, "That''s what I''m happy to see."


    He and Shi Jin hugged and kissed. Their minds and lives began to synchronize more, and there


    would be more parts of them that merged.

    Ji Hanxue''s office.


    Shi Jin sat across from him and watched him read thest page of the script.


    "Good, good." Ji Hanxue pped his hands and said, "The concept and content of this story are


    very good. The meaning is deep. I like it very much."


    "Thank you, Director Ji."


    "Shi Jin, you''re finally willing to cooperate with me for once. I''ve waited for a long time." Ji Hanxue''s


    face was filled with relief.


    "I''ve been looking forward to working with Director Ji for a long time."
