Chapter 67: Chapter 67: You Dog!

Mao Ziyang lowered her head.

She was really happy to get such an opportunity, and very excited that Director Mu could trust her.

Recently, she had been watching horror movies whenever she had free time, trying to immerse herself in that atmosphere, and to observe the acting techniques of film actors.

She was also looking forward to signing the contract.

Becoming the leading actress in Director Mu’s film.

But when this opportunity actually arose, she found herself filled with doubt and worry.

What if netizens mocked her for playing the lead in Director Mu’s movie? What if the film didn’t turn out well? What if she ruined Director Mu’s reputation?

“What if… just in case, this movie doesn’t do well because I didn’t act well enough?”

“If you want to act, then act. If you don’t want to, I won’t try to convince you. The contract is right in front of you, and your company’s lawyer has looked it over. There are no traps. I’ll give you half an hour. If you want to sign, sign it; if not, I’ll find someone else!”

Mu Ran left the meeting room.

Leaving Mao Ziyang trembling.

It seemed like Director Mu was angry. What should she do?

Jiao Yuyao comforted her: “It’s okay, just think it over. This is a rare opportunity, even if the horror film isn’t released. Just because you played the lead in Director Mu’s film, you’ll have many good acting opportunities later on, understand?”

“I know!”

Mao Ziyang was in the entertainment industry.

She naturally knew the weight of being Director Mu’s leading lady.

But she was afraid.

Jiao Yuyao also left, leaving just her in the meeting room.

Mao Ziyang was so nervous that her heart rate became irregular. She kept flipping through the contract, her fingers trembling slightly.

Deep down, she felt unworthy!

She was a controversial figure in the entertainment industry, often accused of using her looks to advance.

If she were to star as the movie’s lead, people definitely wouldn’t accept it!

However…

This was definitely a turning point in her career. If she acted in it and received even one compliment from Director Mu, she would be secure in the entertainment industry, as long as she didn’t break the law.

But if she didn’t perform well…

Mao Ziyang was internally conflicted.

Meanwhile, on the top floor, Mu Ran was browsing the fridge in her sister-in-law’s office, taking out the only snack, “You really don’t keep much here.”

“I usually don’t have time to eat. Many things spoil when left too long, so I just don’t buy them. If you come often, I’ll stock up for you.”

“No need, I won’t be visiting much.”

Mu Ran lay on the couch, munching on chips that tasted a bit strange. She checked the date.

Fortunately, it was still fresh.

It was just a flavor she hadn’t tried before.

“So, how’s your go-to leading actress?”

“She’s a bit burdened mentally. She’s been in the industry for quite some time and been slandered many times, yet she’s still so naive. It baffles me,” Mu Ran complained.

“Fear of slander, not everyone is as thick-skinned as you.” Feng Qikuo once worried about her sister-in-law’s mental state.

At that time, she faced backlash all over the internet, with all sorts of rumors.

Anyone else would probably get depressed.

But she handled it incredibly well!

Her heart seemed to be made of steel. She kept doing what she needed, without missing a beat.

“Thick-skinned? I just don’t care. They’re not people I care about. If they choose to waste time on me, it simply proves how charismatic I am. Plus, in today’s world, attention equals money. I work in the entertainment industry, so I can utilize any form of attention to earn money, as long as what’s said isn’t true or illegal,” Mu Ran commented while eating chips.

Feng Qikuo nodded slightly, “Makes sense.”

But not everyone can have such a mindset.

Feng Qikuo saw her eat the chips dry and had an assistant pour her a glass of juice.

“Wow.” Mu Ran sat up delightedly to drink the juice.

She truly felt that her sister-in-law was human, but her brother was a dog. Humans and dogs shouldn’t date.

Sipping the sweet juice, Mu Ran asked her, “Do you think Mao Ziyang will sign?”

“She definitely will. She’s naive, not stupid.”

“I bet she won’t.”

“Hmm?” Feng Qikuo raised an eyebrow.

“Wanna bet?”

“What about?”

“If I win, you have to call my brother a dog. If you win, I’ll call my brother a dog,” Mu Ran proposed.

Feng Qikuo: “…”

“So your brother gets punished either way, huh?”

“Exactly. Are you in?”

“Sure!” Feng Qikuo laughed, finding this quite fun.

So Feng Qikuo followed her downstairs to wait for the result.

Mao Ziyang decided to take the role!

“Decided?” Mu Ran asked.

“Yes!” Mao Ziyang nodded firmly.

“What made you decide?” Mu Ran pulled out a chair to sit and asked curiously.

Mao Ziyang bit her lip, “Maybe I’m selfish and don’t want to miss out on this project. Director Mu, you’re an outstanding director, and being guided by you in acting will definitely improve me a lot. I’ll try my best. If I don’t do well, I can compensate financially!”

“No need. I don’t want you to leave yourself any way out. The payment will be according to the usual. Sign it. Tomorrow we’re filming a variety show. Once that’s done, I’ll send you the script, and you can go over it carefully, and also practice some martial arts,” Mu Ran instructed.

Mao Ziyang nodded, “Okay!”

Mu Ran left the follow-up to Jiao Yuyao. She then went with her sister-in-law to another meeting room, dialed her brother Mu Dixin, as soon as she heard him say hello, she cursed, “You dog!”

Without waiting for a reply.

Mu Ran immediately hung up.

Feeling extremely satisfied!

Feng Qikuo leaned against the conference table, laughing so hard she couldn’t straighten up, “You’re truly vengeful!”

“Hmph!” Mu Ran raised her chin and left. In the elevator, when she saw Mu Dixin’s call, she hung up and quickly blocked his WeChat.

Everything was so perfect.

That’s what he gets for scolding her!

He deserves it.

Mu Dixin actually guessed that she was taking revenge. What a spiteful person!!!

So he decided to complain.

Unexpectedly, his wife called him, just as he was about to badmouth Mu Ran.

He heard Feng Qikuo say, “You dog.”

Click. She hung up.

Feng Qikuo covered her face and laughed in the meeting room.

Mu Dixin was utterly bewildered.

What happened to his wife?

He called her, hesitantly asking, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, just wanted to scold you.”

“Why?” Mu Dixin felt wronged, he hadn’t done anything.

“Nothing much, you’re really good, keep up the work, and good luck,” Feng Qikuo couldn’t stop laughing. Sometimes scolding felt quite satisfying.

Mu Dixin was so wronged.

Getting scolded by his sister was one thing, she had always been a bit off.

But why did his wife also scold him?

“Did you find someone new and stopped loving me?”

Feng Qikuo instantly sobered up. If she started arguing about feelings, she’d never get any work done that morning, “Impossible, I love you the most. I need to get back to work, bye.”

Mu Dixin: “…”

“Oh.”
