“Sister, I think we should wait till the second season to invest. We should start gathering funds so that we will have enough funds to invest by then,” Xu Mingjing said.

At this moment, she didn’t dare to say anything about arranging for Yuan Keqing to join the group.

She believed that it wouldn’t be too late to talk about it when the time came for them to invest.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingzhen’s cold laughter suddenly sounded out, “Mingjing, you’re really calculative. The first season hasn’t been filmed yet, so nobody knows how it will perform. If it ends up performing poorly and the second season gets canceled, you won’t lose anything. If the results are good, there will be a second season. Based on the results of the first season, just the advertising campaign alone will result in at least some attention. If you invest in the second season, regardless of whether the season itself is good or not, with the first season as the foundation, it will be a sure-win deal.”

“Why aren’t you supporting your nephew when he needs it the most? You’re just trying to get some benefits during the second season, investing in a sure-win deal while also getting Yuan Keqing into the production team as an investor.”

Every word Xu Mingzhen said matched Xu Mingjing’s thoughts.

Tan Wenci smiled slightly. Xu Mingzhen was indeed Xu Mingjing’s biological sister. She knew her sister like the back of her hand.

Ever since she was young, Xu Mingjing had always had her own little thoughts.

It wasn’t that Xu Mingzhen couldn’t tell whether she should help or not. It was just that Xu Mingjing was her sister.

In reality, Xu Mingzhen knew Xu Mingjing very well.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Mingjing revealed something at this moment. Xu Mingzhen knew what Xu Mingjing meant with this single gesture.

“You scrounge up all the best deals and hide far away when there are risks to be taken. The Earth isn’t revolving around your family. This is unacceptable!” Xu Mingzhen directly scolded Xu Mingjing, “Let me tell you if there is going to be a second season, your family’s investments are not needed! Don’t even think about using your little tricks. Yuan Keqing can forget about joining my son’s production team!”

Given Yuan Keqing’s character, she probably won’t know how to do anything on Tan Quan Qi’s production team.

Xu Mingzhen wouldn’t cause trouble for Tan Quan Qi.

Other siblings supported and helped each other.

Here, however, Old Madam Xu had to treat her four children differently. Even the sons who received so-called preferential treatment were only so when compared to Tan Mo.

As for Xu Mingjing, she was very scheming.

She was only seeking to gain benefits from the Yuan family and had never thought of helping her elder sister.

She wasn’t asking much of Old Madam Xu and Xu Mingjing, but she wasn’t a fool either. She knew that they were just trying to gain as much as they could from her.

Xu Mingjing was so angry that her lips were trembling. She could not speak clearly because of this, “Sister, you… How can you say that? This is not something that will make things difficult for you. Our family is also willing to invest. Why do you have to cut off Keqing’s career? She is also your niece!”

“I just don’t want her to join my son’s production team. She can choose to join other teams. How did I cut off her career?” Xu Mingzhen sneered angrily, “I just don’t want you to invest in the show as well. How much money can you fork out? A couple million? This is barely a drop in the bucket when it comes to filming. My family doesn’t need investments of negligible value!”

“If you want to invest, go invest in other people’s dramas. Stop trying to take advantage of Jingqi,” Xu Mingzhen said coldly.

“If I really wanted to cut off Yuan Keqing’s career, I could’ve banned her!”

But Xu Mingzhen wasn’t unable to bring herself to do this.

Whether it was Tan Quan or Tan Mo, their relationship with director Hou and director Liu was extremely good.

So many actors were fighting to act in those two’s scenes. Even if Yuan Keqing fought for it, she wouldn’t be able to get it.

And based on the network of the two directors in the industry, it was just a matter of saying a word.

Yuan Keqing was an unknown actress. The competition in this industry was so strong. There were many people who didn’t need her.

Of course, if Tan Quan and Tan Mo felt that it was inappropriate to trouble director Hou and director Liu because of this matter, wouldn’t Wei Zhiqian still be there?

There was no need to be polite with Wei Zhiqian.

In any case, if Wei Zhiqian could ruin Yuan Keqing’s college entrance exam, he could also ruin Yuan Keqing’s career.

Xu Mingjing thought disdainfully, if Xu Mingzhen really had this ability, would Tan Quan worry about not having enough money to film?

She knew that Tan Guqi had a famous teacher and seemed to have a good relationship with the other director Liu.

But just because of this little relationship, he was threatening to ban Yuan Keqing in the entertainment industry. It was a little too much!

Besides, why were those two so easy to talk to? Just because Xu Mingzhen wanted to ban someone, did the two of them do it?

Xu Mingzhen was too thick-skinned!

Xu Mingzhen sneered, “You don’t have to believe me. You can come and bother me again. When you see the result, don’t come and regret it!”

Xu Mingjing hesitated for a long time before saying, “Sister, when did we two sisters become like this?”

Xu Mingzhen thought to herself that it was because she had allowed Yuan Keqing to feed on Tan Mo. .

In fact, according to Xu Mingzhen, as long as there was no conflict with her children, she would not be stingy with Yuan Keqing.

However, Yuan Keqing wanted to snatch everything from Tan Mo. .

Xu Mingjing only pretended to stop her. After apologizing, Yuan Keqing would snatch whatever she wanted.

How could Xu Mingzhen tolerate this.

However, Xu Mingzhen was too lazy to talk to Xu Mingjing about this.

It wasn’t that Xu Mingjing didn’t know, she just didn’t listen.

Why did Xu Mingzhen waste her breath on her.

Instead, she heard Xu Mingjing say aggrievedly, “I called you this time because I hadn’t contacted you for a long time and wanted to talk to you. If I didn’t contact you, you wouldn’t take the initiative to contact me either. In the past, you would always ask me how I was doing and ask me about various situations.”

“Yes, I would always ask you.” Xu Mingzhen muttered a few words in disappointment. She felt that it was extremely boring.

“I still have something to do. Let’s talk about it another day.” Xu Mingzhen did not want to say anything more to Xu Mingjing.

She understood Xu Mingjing’s thoughts.

The more she understood, the colder her heart became.

And Xu Mingjing never cared about what she said.

Without waiting for Xu Mingjing to say anything else, Xu Mingzhen hung up the phone.

“She kept asking me why I didn’t care about her. She didn’t ask me how she was doing. She said Yuan Keqing is my niece. Why didn’t she help her?” Xu Mingzhen said angrily to the conversation, “It’s funny that she just called. I thought she knew Momo won the competition and came here to congratulate him.”

“It turns out that it was a coincidence that she called today.” Xu Mingzhen sneered, “Even the two elders of the Wei family, Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan, as the family head and wife of the Wei family, although they are close to Momo, they are not related by blood. Yet, they are so devoted to Momo.”

“As Momo’s biological aunt, Xu Mingjing knows nothing about this.. I’m afraid she doesn’t even know that Momo participated in the math competition.”
