Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Old fox!

Lu Guan cursed Ma Dongyang several times in his heart. In fact, when Ma Dongyang first entered the industry, he was still a fairly honest director, but he couldn't withstand the bombardment of top actresses and quickly fell into their tender trap.

It was also due to Ma Dongyang's pattern of making films that were critically panned but scored big at the box office that made Lu Guan have mixed feelings about his old classmate, both fond and resentful.

"Give you a week to choose a suitable actor for the character, otherwise if Mountains and Waters Corporation's newly acquired company loses money right off the bat, will you take the blame or will I when President Song points fingers?!"

Lu Guan slammed the documents he was holding onto the table.

Ma Dongyang jumped in fright, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about inviting President Song to join our film's casting?"

"Do you think a big shot like President Song has time to deal with these trivial matters?!"

Lu Guan wished he could point at Ma Dongyang's forehead and curse some sense into the damned fool. It didn't matter to him if he wanted to ruin his own future, but I've already been warned once by President Song about my CEO position, and now he's making it look like I'm incompetent, isn't this harming me?

"If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, then, Director Lu, what do you propose we do!"

Oh! This damned fool actually dares to lose his temper!

Lu Guan roared furiously, "If I knew what to do, why would I need you! If you don't want to take on this film, then you might as well switch projects now!"

Hearing this, Ma Dongyang's flame of hope was doused with a bucket of cold water.

He knew all too well how much the company had invested in this film, and moreover, a film adapted from a well-known IP would surely have high attendance and critical acclaim. As a director always ready to fight his way back, he couldn't miss out on this opportunity!

"Director Lu, what do you think about this plan? I'll prepare a list of actors for you, and you could casually mention it to President Song while reporting on work. If President Song thinks any of the actors are good, we can just go with them!"

This rotten idea gave Lu Guan pause, but on second thought, it had very high feasibility.

He nodded in agreement, and once Ma Dongyang left, Lu Guan tapped his fingers on the table, contemplating. After this incident, he definitely had to demote this Ma surname. Continuing in this manner, the reputation of Sky Entertainment would be ruined.

After leaving, Ma Dongyang included several women he had vacationed with on the list.

When Lu Guan saw the list, he almost flipped the table. Damn it, Ma Dongyang was courting death!!!

Out of ten names on the list, seven were bedmates. Even if he was planting his people, he couldn't be this blatant about it!

If that's the case, then don't blame me for reporting you to President Song when the time comes!

After crafting his words, Lu Guan cleared his throat and made a call to Song Yun.

At that time, Song Yun was sitting at home, sweetly watching a movie with Ye Qingqing, when a phone call came in, shattering the lovely atmosphere.

Song Yun frowned slightly as he glanced at the caller ID, thinking if this CEO of Sky Entertainment didn't have something important, just wait and see how I'll deal with you later!

"President Song, hello, I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

Lu Guan's choice of words and tone were very sincere.

Song Yun hummed noncommittally without continuing.

"It's like this, Sky Entertainment is preparing a new film with a substantial investment. Shangguan Fu was originally cast as the second female lead, but due to misconduct, she has been dropped by the company, and we're having trouble finding a new actress in such short notice. Ma Dongyang has drafted a list, and I'd like to run it by you first."

This statement was skillfully constructed, not only keeping himself completely out of the incident but also surreptitiously setting up Ma Dongyang. As soon as Song Yun realized that the list of candidates was padded, the first fire would surely be lit under that damned fool's ass!

"Send it to my email."

"Okay, Director Song, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Guan revealed a smile full of profound meaning and quickly sent Director Ma's list to Song Yun's email.

"Who was it?" Ye Qingqing asked curiously.

"Lu Guan," Song Yun said as he opened his email, "Mountains and Waters Corporation acquired Sky Entertainment, right? One of their films is in trouble because of Shangguan Fu's absence. Lu Guan wants me to help screen the new actors."

"Let me have a look!"

This novel had been adapted into a film, and for an original novel fan like Ye Qingqing, of course, she hoped that the adaptation would match the character setting.

When she saw the ten names on the list, her brows couldn't help but furrow.

"Is this what they call a rigorous selection?" Ye Qingqing said disdainfully, "Among these, there are eight people who have been involved in scandals, hotel scandals nonetheless, and the male lead in seven of those scandals is that Director Ma!"

Song Yun's eyes narrowed when he heard this; the waters here were not shallow.

"Send the list back, tell them to choose again!" Ye Qingqing said to Song Yun in a coquettish tone, "Honey, this novel is so good, if they ruin the adaptation, not only will they lose money, but they will also break the heart of your most beloved woman~"

"Send it back, send it back!"

Song Yun admitted he was quite helpless; he simply couldn't resist his wife's beauty trick, but wasn't that the normal reaction of a man!!!

"By the way, honey, when we went to see great-aunt, she told me, doesn't our cousin, the daughter of our eldest aunt, have a degree from Central Academy of Drama? Why not let our cousin give it a try?"

Ye Qingqing's words reminded Song Yun, that's right! How did he forget about Xiao Wan? Why not keep the benefits within the family? If Xiao Wan really had acting skills, he wouldn't mind giving her a hand at all.

So Song Yun quickly called Lu Guan, saying that he had tentatively settled on a candidate, and would make the final decision later.

Lu Guan was overjoyed when he heard this; finally, he didn't have to take the blame!

Song Yun then called his aunt to explain the situation. After hearing it, his aunt said with relief, "You little guy have finally made something of yourself, turning into such a big shot. Just wait, let me discuss it with your cousin when she gets back. I'll get back to you in half an hour."

After hanging up, the aunt made several calls to Xiao Wan before her daughter finally answered.

"Mom, I'm on set, what's up?"

Xiao Wan asked in a low voice.

"Come back quickly, your Brother Song Yun has arranged for you to be the second female lead in a film!"

Hearing this news, Xiao Wan was so excited she almost fainted.

After facing rejection all day, she was close to giving up, but unexpectedly, after her brother Song Yun made it big, he also had such deep connections in the entertainment industry!

She dared not hope for anything like the main or second female lead, even if Brother Song Yun ended up saying it was just an extra role, she would be willing.

Xiao Wan quickly took a taxi home, her heart filled with nervousness as she made a video call to Song Yun.

The call was answered, and the face of a beautiful woman appeared on the screen; if Xiao Wan hadn't confirmed repeatedly that she hadn't dialed the wrong number, she might have thought her cousin's phone was lost.

"Hello there, I'm Song Yun's wife, you must be cousin Xiao Wan~" Ye Qingqing said with a beaming smile, loving everything associated with Song Yun's family, especially since after getting the rundown from the great-aunt, she knew that the Song Family wasn't one to do such petty things, devoid of any such nonsense.
