The meeting place was set at the teahouse. When Meng Yuan and Yu Qingzhu were led into the private room, there were already three people sitting inside.

Seeing someone coming in, the man in the hat sitting in the middle stood up first and greeted:

"Is this Miss Meng and your agent Ms. Yu? Hello, I'm Mo Xi, the director of the movie Marriage First, Love Later. You can just call me Director Mo."

"This is assistant director Li Lin, and this is screenwriter Han Xiang."

After introducing himself, Mo Xi introduced the people sitting on both sides of him.

"Hello Director Mo, hello Assistant Director Li, hello Screenwriter Han." Meng Yuan greeted the people opposite him one by one.

"Don't stand, come and sit down." Mo Xi smiled and asked Meng Yuan and Yu Qingzhu to sit down, then he got straight to the point:

"This meeting is mainly for us to have an in-depth discussion about this film project. On the one hand, we want to understand your intentions, and on the other hand, we also want to see if Miss Meng is suitable for this role."

"In this movie, there is a role of the president's assistant. She doesn't have many scenes, but she needs to show her professional rationality in the early stage and her madness in the later stage when she is blinded by love. It is a role with great contrast."

"We have been looking for this role for a long time. We have been looking for a long time in the entertainment industry, but we couldn't find anyone who could play the professional and rational role in the early stage. Later, we wanted to find an amateur who had actually worked as a president's assistant to play it, but firstly, this role requires extremely high appearance, and there are few amateurs who meet the requirements. Secondly, it is difficult for amateurs to play the madness in the later stage."

"It just so happens that someone in the project team watched the show "Nine to Six" that Miss Meng participated in some time ago and recommended you to us. Your appearance is very consistent with our imagination of this role. At the same time, we also watched your performance in the show carefully, especially your performance during the week of internship in the president's office. We think you are very suitable for our role, so we handed you the script and hope that we can have a chance to work together."

"Director Mo, you are so polite. We are so lucky to have your favor. Director Mo's films have always been both well-received and famous. It is our honor to have the opportunity to work with you."

Yu Qingzhu took over Mo Xi's words and expressed their sincerity.

"Meng Yuan and I have read the movie script you brought over before. Meng Yuan is also very interested in this character and has written a biography of the character, thoroughly analyzing the character's mental journey."

"During this period, I also enrolled Meng Yuan in an acting class, and tried my best to help her improve her acting skills."

"I watched the commercial that Miss Meng filmed with Mr. Shen before, and her performance was really good." Mo Xi waved his hand to interrupt Yu Qingzhu, "Since we are talking about this, why don't you try acting first, Miss Meng, and let us see?"

"Okay Director Mo, which part should I perform?" Meng Yuan asked, standing up.

"Your agent just said that you read the script carefully and wrote a short biography of the character, which means you must have done enough preparation. Just pick a paragraph at random."

Meng Yuan nodded in agreement, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, quickly found her state, and began her performance.

When Yu Qingzhu called her yesterday, he specifically reminded her that there would definitely be an audition today, and asked Meng Yuan to prepare early.

This is truly an open-book exam.

Sure enough, after Meng Yuan's performance, the three people opposite her had undisguised satisfaction on their faces.

Once the roles are decided, the next step is to determine the time for contract signing and the specific shooting time so that the schedule can be arranged in advance.

Everything went so smoothly that Meng Yuan was a little dazed on the way back. It was really hard to get used to the fact that her career as a villain was developing so smoothly.

After returning home, Meng Yuan told Lu Yanli about her concerns. Lu Yanli just smiled and hugged Meng Yuan in his arms to comfort her:

"Just go and pursue your dream in the entertainment industry. If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame!"

Many times, the words we say may have bad effects but not good ones.

On the day the contract was signed, Director Mo said that it was fate that brought everyone together this time, and to celebrate, he invited all the creative team and performers to have dinner together in the evening.

Mo Xi was very generous and directly paid for a high-end restaurant which was usually open only to VIP members. He also invited the artist's team to go and get to know each other.

On the way there, Meng Yuan sent a message to Lu Yanli:

[My: I am going to have dinner with the film crew tonight, so I won’t be going back for dinner.]

[Lu: That’s perfect. I have a social event tonight and will be home late.]

[My: It’s been a while since I heard you say you were going to socialize]

Before transmigrating into the book, Lu Yanli had to travel on business and attend social events due to his position. After transmigrating into the book, he transformed himself into a domineering CEO, and gained more freedom and freedom to do as he pleases at work.

Ever since they met, as long as Meng Yuan stayed at home, Lu Yanli would go home from get off work on time almost every day to cook for Meng Yuan.

Now that he heard the word "socializing" from Lu Yanli's mouth after a long time, Meng Yuan became curious instead.

[My: Who is so honorable that he could invite our President Lu to come personally? ]

[Lu: Come to think of it, this person has some connection with us. He is Bai Lian’s father, Mr. Meng from the Meng Group.]

[My: Do you still have a cooperative relationship with Mengshi? ]

[Lu: It was a loss-making business done by the original owner. I guess it was done to please the heroine at the time.]

[Lu: I didn’t want to get involved at first, but the other party came to me and said he wanted to discuss the matter. The implication was that he wanted to make up for the shortfall.]

[Lu: I wanted to ask Zhao Xing to come forward, but he insisted on treating me to a meal as a token of his gratitude for my assistance to the Meng family when they were in trouble.]

[Lu: The other party is very persistent and I can’t push him away. I have no choice but to run.]

【My: Remember to drink less alcohol】

【Lu: I know, you too】

[Lu: Come back early, call me if you have anything]

When Meng Yuan finished talking to Lu Yanli, put away her phone and looked out the window, she realized that the car had left the city center without her noticing.

"Sister Yu, where is the dining place? Why do I feel like I'm getting further and further away?" Meng Yuan felt something was wrong.

Yu Qingzhu, who was sitting next to him, patted the back of Meng Yuan's hand and said, "Rich people like quiet places. Don't worry, they won't take you away and sell you off. There are so many people here, and I'm here with you."

"Besides, Director Mo is also a well-known director in China. He has a good reputation in the industry. We are just having a meal together. This is a part of every shoot. Don't think too much about it."

With her agent by her side, Meng Yuan felt a little more at ease.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the staff in charge of ushering us said that because there were too many people and they couldn't all sit together, so all the main creators and performers were arranged to stay on the second floor, and the staff of the actor team were on the first floor.

Before going upstairs, Yu Qingzhu pulled Meng Yuan aside and told him, "You should toast later, but don't drink too much. We are just minor characters anyway, so don't try too hard. If you have any problems, call me. I'll be downstairs."

Meng Yuan nodded and went up to the second floor with the staff.

Unlike the lively and casual open hall on the first floor, the second floor is composed of private rooms. Two people in security uniforms are standing at the entrance of the stairs.

Seeing Meng Yuan's gaze lingering on the two for a while, the staff member took the initiative to explain:

"All our guests are either rich or noble, so in order to ensure their safety, we have security guards."

Meng Yuan nodded and continued walking forward. The private room was at the back.

When Meng Yuan was about to reach the door, he was stopped by the staff guarding the door:

"Hello, please cooperate with the security check and hand in your cell phone."
