Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Fifty Handsome Men

After Mu Ran woke up, she had a hearty breakfast as instructed by Xiao Yu’an. She sent him a photo of her sandwich before driving her sports car straight to Dan Heng Entertainment Company.

The receptionist immediately informed President Feng upon seeing Mu Ran.

Feng Qikuo happened to be in the office and let Mu Ran come up.

Mu Ran took the elevator to the top floor, pulled out the chair in front of her desk, and sat down, “When can I sign with Mao Ziyang?”

“Hold on, just these next couple of days. I was feeling a bit unwell last night. Did your brother say something unpleasant to you? I’m sorry.” Feng Qikuo had overheard what Mu Dixin said.

At that moment, she gave him a smack on the shoulder and told him not to speak if he couldn’t say anything nice.

Seriously.

“That’s his fault, why are you apologizing? It’s not important. Have you been overworking yourself lately?” Mu Ran furrowed her eyebrows, though she wished her sister-in-law could hurry up.

But health comes first!

“I’ve just been flying back and forth between several cities, feeling a bit dizzy, but it’s nothing serious,” explained Feng Qikuo.

“That’s fine, just speed things up. I’ll be off now,” Mu Ran stood up and left, heading to her own office.

Feng Qikuo wanted to say something but stopped.

Couldn’t she talk about anything else? Every time she comes and goes in such a hurry.

Alas.

Better settle things with Mao Ziyang’s company quickly.

Mu Ran’s studio isn’t in the city center; it’s located in a slightly out-of-the-way office building where she rents two floors.

That’s sufficient for her studio.

Her office is particularly large.

She can have tea and work there.

There’s even an exclusive rest area, typical for a CEO.

Mu Ran sat in the boss chair.

Just as she settled in, Jiao Yuyao knocked on the door and walked in, “Is the lead actress confirmed?”

“Almost, have you arranged a meeting with Lin Wen Yu?”

“I did. Lin Wen Yu is quite easy to talk to, but his agent is hesitant. I still need to tug a little. I’m planning to give them three days. After three days, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll just replace him.”

Mu Ran had hinted to him that the lead actress must be Mao Ziyang, but the male lead was not definite.

So Jiao Yuyao thought, if Lin Wen Yu could act in Mu Ran’s film, it would definitely be a favor.

If his agent is ungrateful, then forget it. As an idol, he doesn’t really have much acting skill anyway.

Unlike Mao Ziyang, who despite having a lot of scandals and lacking a significant representative work, you can still see from various videos that she does a good job portraying her roles, making her an actress with actual acting skills.

Otherwise, even as a controversial figure, if Mao Ziyang didn’t have what it takes, no one would bother to bash her.

“You’re right, three days is enough. By the way, I’ll be joining a variety show in a few days. You should check out major colleges for handsome guys, at least fifty, with a classical vibe and a good build,” Mu Ran expressed her request. “They should have some acting skills; otherwise, I’d have to guide them through every single action, which is annoying.”

“So many?!”

Jiao Yuyao was a bit shocked.

“Is it a lot? I think it’s fine. I even find it insufficient,” Mu Ran opened her computer to send him an email. “Here’s a list of some supporting actors I’ve invited, along with the script. You can arrange for the assistant director to audition the small roles, and for those with more screen time, I’ll decide after my variety show is done filming.”

“Alright.”

Jiao Yuyao went to make arrangements.

Mu Ran continued working until it was time for Xiao Jin to finish his classes. She drove to pick him up from school and brought along Mao Xiaomiao.

All the way, Mu Ran was pondering.

Where would there be space at home for her to stay? Once she got home, she simply went out to buy a foldable small bed and had the furniture store deliver it, finally satisfied.

“Xiao Miao, let’s go buy a skateboard,” Chu Xijin, who had planned to meet Mao Xiaomiao today, wanted to follow her and learn skateboarding.

“Okay!”

Mao Xiaomiao nodded.

Chu Xijin went to tell Mu Ran, “Auntie, I’m going out with Xiao Miao, bye-bye.”

“Bye-bye.” Mu Ran instructed the bodyguard to follow them, and reminded Xiao Jin, “Ask Xiao Miao what snacks she likes, and buy more of them.”

“Okay.” Chu Xijin glanced at the bodyguard.

He looked quite tall and sturdy.

But if something happened, who knows whether he would protect them, or they would have to protect themselves.

After playing outside until they were sweaty, Mu Ran was working at home. When it was time to eat, the two kids had obediently taken their baths.

“Was it fun?” Mu Ran asked tentatively.

Chu Xijin nodded, his eyes sparkling, “Very interesting, I managed to do a few small tricks today.”

Mao Xiaomiao couldn’t help but praise, “Xiao Jin is the most talented student I’ve taught; on the first day, he chose the traditional skateboard and trained to a level comparable to mine after a week of practicing.”

“Is that so? Xiao Jin is amazing,” Mu Ran complimented.

Chu Xijin smiled bashfully.

Mu Ran always found everyone playing skateboard cool.

But she never thought about trying it herself.

How painful it would be to fall!

“Xiao Miao, have you ever fallen before?”

“Of course, I’ve had two fractures, once on my arm and once on my leg,” Mao Xiaomiao still had bruises on her legs.

She not only skateboards daily.

She also does parkour.

Occasionally, she practices street dance.

The daily amount of exercise is substantial and tiring, but she really enjoys it, that feeling of constantly pushing the physical limits is particularly awesome.

“Truly impressive,” Mu Ran sincerely admired.

Even sports inept people would be in awe when seeing someone can run 800 meters quickly.

“It’s okay,” Mao Xiaomiao was a little embarrassed being admired by Sister Mu Ran, and reciprocated the praise, “Sister, your directing is great.”

Mu Ran nodded, “Yes.”

Not a hint of modesty.

Chu Xijin smiled brightly, eyes curved in delight.

While eating his favorite egg custard, Chu Xijin thought of his plan and asked his aunt, “Auntie, do you need investors?”

“I don’t!” Mu Ran replied.

A major reason her films received both criticism and praise is her refusal to allow capital interference. She films her movies with her own money.

She simply dislikes being bossed around.

And placing people in her work!!!

Having one person included this time was already making her brain ache.

“Oh.” Chu Xijin was disappointed.

Originally, he wanted to invest in his aunt’s movie, having heard the return rates were high.

Since it’s not possible, so be it.

After the meal, Chu Xijin dragged Mao Xiaomiao to watch the news broadcast.

Mao Xiaomiao was horrified, “Do you watch this every day?”

“Yeah, it’s really interesting. You can find out about a lot of major national events.”

“I…”

Mao Xiaomiao opened and closed her mouth several times.

She really wanted to say that she’s only five, why does she need to know about so many national events?

But seeing how serious Xiao Jin was, Mao Xiaomiao could only sit and watch with him. Never mind knowing if any national events happened, she couldn’t even comprehend most things she watched.

Reporting on people’s livelihood is one thing, but when they report on two heads of state meeting or changes in policy, she felt like she was going crazy!

“I want to call my aunt.”

“Not watching?” Chu Xijin looked at her with clear, expectant eyes.

Mao Xiaomiao sat back down.

Determined to bear with it.

Mu Ran secretly laughed behind their backs.
