Chapter 866 New drama

Huo Zhizhou agreed.

In addition, they asked him if he needed a computer expert, and he could introduce him to one.

Qin Mo said he wanted to.

Huo Zhizhou pushed Si Ning to him, letting him talk to him by himself.

The next few days.

Qin Mo was going through a very difficult time.

He couldn't ask Lin Tan, nor could he speed up his life; all he could do was wait for Friday night to arrive.

As for Lin Tan...

She has been living a very peaceful life these past few days.

The company approved her request to move, although it was only to the apartment above hers, but she was already very satisfied. She moved again after filming the commercial on Wednesday.

After everything is placed in an orderly manner.

A surge of emotions welled up within her.

She moved twice in just one week.

If possible, she hopes to hold out until the company buys her a larger apartment.

A few buzzing sounds.

Lin Tan's phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Qin Jiangye calling, she answered without hesitation: "Boss."

"Your audition is next Wednesday?" Qin Jiangye asked knowingly.

Lin Tan: "Yes."

Qin Jiangye still spoke in that drawn-out tone: "Come to my office at five o'clock on Friday afternoon. I have dinner with Lao Ning, so you can come with me."

Lin Tan paused.

Somewhat unexpected.

"good."

She actually wanted to ask Director Ning if he never accepted these kinds of dinner invitations.

If the dinner invitation is for a role, it might actually make Director Ning more strict during the audition.

But she didn't say anything.

The boss must have his reasons for making this arrangement.

Friday arrived quickly for her. After finishing her work and handing it over, she went to the restaurant with Qin Jiangye.

But what she never expected was...

You will see Huo Sinian after arriving at the restaurant.

Fortunately, he walked ahead of another man into the private room and didn't see her.

"Looking at Huo Sinian?" Qin Jiangye noticed the change in her expression.

Lin Tan lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Qin Jiangye walked slowly with her down the corridor: "These past few days, there's been a lot of buzz in the industry about your relationship. Some people say Huo Sinian has a lot of responsibility, while others say he has no taste. What about you?"

"What?" Lin Tan didn't react.

"What do you think about him spreading rumors about your relationship?" Qin Jiangye asked.

"Spreading rumors is illegal," Lin Tan said calmly to Qin Jiangye, adding, "If these rumors affect the company's interests, the company can deal with them as it sees fit."

Qin Jiangye smiled, put one hand in his pocket, and led her to the private room where Director Ning was.

I just went in.

Director Ning then pretended to be angry and said a few words to Qin Jiangye.

Qin Jiangye retorted shamelessly.

After a while, they met again.

The two had already sat down and started drinking.

As for Lin Tan, she was completely free after greeting everyone inside.

Unlike other dinner parties, dining with Director Ning doesn't require following the usual drinking etiquette. He simply enjoys chatting with Qin Jiangye, exchanging playful insults, and then, as an elder, inquiring about Qin Jiangye's marriage prospects.

"You're so old and still not married, doesn't Mr. Qin urge you?" Director Ning and Qin Jiangye were just saying whatever came to mind.

"Instead of talking about these things, why don't you talk about your new drama?" Qin Jiangye glanced at Lin Tan as he spoke before finishing his sentence, "Are you going to give the second female lead role to Lin Tan from our company or not?"

Director Ning is very principled: "We don't talk about business over meals."

Qin Jiangye: "Didn't you start the conversation?"

Director Ning: "I'm just concerned about you."

Qin Jiangye: "I did it so you wouldn't have to worry about me."

"You little rascal." Director Ning clinked glasses with him, looking like he knew everything. "Don't think I don't know you're here to gather information, but you should know my rules."

"I understand," Qin Jiangye said.

Director Ning: "Then don't ask."

Qin Jiangye stroked his cup and spoke slowly and deliberately: "I don't want to ask, but Director Zhao offered Lin Tan the role of the female lead a couple of days ago. What do you think I should do, accept or reject?"

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan looked completely bewildered.

When did this happen?

Director Ning glanced to the side and saw her completely unaware expression, and believed it almost instantly.

After all, there are some things that the company knows before the artist does.

"What script?" Director Ning asked.

"Trade secret." Qin Jiangye smiled. "I can't tell you."

Director Ning: "You brat."

Qin Jiangye: "Didn't you teach me this?"

Director Ning wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason to do so.

Lin Tan was quite surprised by this.

During audition discussions, telling the director that other directors are vying for the role will likely provoke resentment from many, especially big-name directors who never lack talent.

But neither the boss nor Director Ning showed any sign of being angry.

“If you can’t secure a role here, I’ll have Jin Yue give Lin Tan the role that Director Zhao is casting.” Qin Jiangye knew that Director Ning and Director Zhao often competed for actors, so he said this specifically. “I can tell whether an uncertain role or a role that can be signed immediately is more important.”

"My subject matter is excellent," Director Ning emphasized.

"Director Zhao's subject matter is also good," Qin Jiangye said. "It will be very popular with women after it airs."

Director Ning: "?"

What exactly is the subject matter?

"Hey." Qin Jiangye opened his chat interface and showed it to Director Ning. "Look how sincere they are. They even sent a message to ask how you've thought it over."

Director Ning was somewhat conflicted.

He glanced at Lin Tan, then at the message from Director Zhao, and finally relented: "Okay."

Qin Jiangye's lips curled slightly.

Director Ning: "Have Jin Yue and Lin Tan come in to discuss their salaries and sign contracts."

Qin Jiangye: "Are you sure?"

Director Ning: "You've pushed me to this point, how could I not be sure?"

He wouldn't have agreed so readily to anyone else.

But Lin Tan believed that she was suitable for the role in the new drama. After all, the months he spent with her on set had shown him her potential and versatility.

“You said it yourself,” Qin Jiangye said. “If you try to fool people, none of your films will be hits.”

Director Ning: "..."

Director Ning glared at him through gritted teeth: "You have such a mouth."

Qin Jiangye didn't care.

Just then.

His phone rang.

He answered the phone as he always had, and remained silent for a while, not knowing what was said on the other end. After about thirty seconds, he finally spoke: "Where is he?"

Is it serious?

"knew."

He calmly said a few words.

Even without being anxious, Lin Tan and Director Ning could tell that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Director Ning asked.

"Qin Mo was in a car accident downstairs at my company. I have to go and handle it." Qin Jiangye tapped his phone a few times as he spoke, his gaze falling on Lin Tan. "You talk to Director Ning about the new film, and go with Jin Yue to sign the contract on Monday."

Lin Tan's hands were clasped together, and she uttered a single, hesitant, and difficult word: "Okay..."

"I'm leaving." Qin Jiangye stood up, raised his hand and patted Director Ning on the shoulder. "Eat and drink well, put it on my tab."

Director Ning did not stop him.

But it was Lin Tan.

She felt cold and out of sorts as soon as she heard that Qin Mo had been in a car accident.

Seeing that the only person in the know was about to leave, she couldn't help but call out to him, "Boss."

Qin Jiangye glanced sideways.

Lin Tan suppressed her emotions and tried her best to remain calm: "Was the car accident serious?"
