“I’ll go shower right away.” Shi Jin was bewitched by his deep voice. The corners of her cold eyes were stained red.
“Together?”
It was a question, but one that left no room for doubt. He reached out and held her close to him.
His arms were long and muscular, his fingers locked around her waist. He could almost grip her entire waist with one hand.

After the actors for “Phoenix Tree” was re-selected, the filming process gradually sped up.
Xiao Ming and Jian Liang’s acting and personality seemed to have been tailored for this movie. After two days of working together, they seemed to have become the characters in the movie, which made Liang Han very satisfied.
He had written the script himself. No one knew better than him what he wanted to achieve.
Today, they finished work in half the time allotted.
“Let’s take a break this afternoon.” Liang Han waved his hand, and the entire venue was in an uproar.

“Xiao Ming and Jian Liang can’t go yet. You have to record the song,” Liang Han said to the two of them.
They already knew about the plans and were not surprised. They smiled and said, “I know. We’re just waiting for Shi Jin to bring us to the recording studio.”
“Record them well. Both songs work well. They won’t be used in the movie, but they’ll add a lot to your publicity.”
The two of them naturally understood this.
Shi Jin finished removing her makeup and walked over with her bag. She had changed into a white shirt and fitted jeans. She looked stunning.
The three of them went to the recording studio together.
After Shi Jin gave them a brief introduction, they started recording.
Xiao Ming and Jian Liang had been practicing at home for a while. It was their first time recording, so they were still a little rusty. However, they slowly found the trick.
The recording went smoothly.

Under Zeng Guangzhi’s operation, “Ask the Devil” also began filming officially.
After learning that Liang Han had chosen two unknown actors, he quickly reported to Qin Fanya.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Fanya’s tone was not enthusiastic. “I don’t care who they choose. The result I want is very simple. This project must be popular, understand?”
Her name was damaged in Hong Kong, and many of her projects could not be advanced. The number of investors who used to revolve around her, and her friends, had been much fewer recently.
Falling from a height was one of the most unbearable things in life.
It would have been fine if she hadn’t stood at the peak, but no one understood the disappointment of falling back after standing high.
She desperately needed a successful project now, an opportunity to return to everyone’s attention.
If not for Old Master Qin’s serious illness, she would have come to the capital to personally supervise this project.
Hearing her say this, Zeng Guangzhi was also under a lot of pressure.
It was difficult to say with certainty that any project would succeed.
There were so many television dramas and movies on the market every year, and they were one in a million. Most of the rest were ordinary, and were broadcast in silence to earn some money.
Qin Fanya’s current requirements were a little too high.
Perhaps sensing Zeng Guangzhi’s speechlessness, Qin Fanya then said, “How much budget do you want? Just tell me and submit a report. I have plenty of money. I can give you as much money as you need.”
“Alright, I understand, Miss Qin,” Zeng Guangzhi said in relief.
As long as he had money, things would be much easier.

At night:
Shi Jin tapped a game on her phone.
Mobile games would gradually replace online games in a few years and become one of the most popular entertainment activities to kill time.
However, it was not that popular yet. Although all the major companies had their eyes on this market, the configuration of cell phones and traffic could not support this entertainment method to enter the public eye.
Shi Jin was only able to run this game because she had the latest cell phone produced overseas.
She was playing when she saw the contents of WeChat.
She clicked on it. It was from the record producer.
“This is the finished product from Xiao Ming and Jian Liang. It has already been processed in post-production. Shi Jin, see if there’s anything else you want to change.”
Shi Jin clicked the play button.
The first song was Xiao Ming’s “No Grandeur”. His voice was quite suitable for this song. A colder voice was more suitable for this song.
The second song was Jian Liang’s “Knowing Autumn.” It had a very ancient vibe. It used a passage from a famous poet, but the rest of the lyrics were written by Shi Jin herself.
The former was wild and free, while the latter was quite sentimental about life.
“I don’t think there’s anything else to change. That’ll do,” Shi Jin replied.
“Alright, then I’ll do a final post-production recording. By the way, Shi Jin, these two songs are the most touching songs I’ve ever recorded. Can I play a 15-second clip on my Weibo?”
The record producer carefully sent a voice message.
Shi Jin understood that the record producer really liked these two songs and also wanted to advertise his own recording studio to attract business.
In this industry, this was really normal.
She clicked on the voice message and replied, “Fifteen seconds is fine.”
“Thank you, thank you.”
After exiting WeChat, Shi Jin continued playing games. She had only been in contact with games for a short period of time and found them quite interesting, so she downloaded one.
“Is this so interesting?” Fu Xiuyuan sat at the side and dealt with official matters. He had wanted to wait for her to take a shower with him, but then he saw that she lowered her head and was immersed in the game, the stray hair on her forehead covering her eyelids. She was obedient and innocent. His words that originally contained a hint of jealousy turned into an indulgent sigh.
Shi Jin held out the phone. “Why don’t you try it? It’ll be fun.”
“Mm.” Fu Xiuyuan picked it up and glanced at it. “Recently, our branch is also developing mobile games and has invested a lot. Seeing that you’re playing so happily, I suddenly feel that the prospects of this industry are even better.”
“What kind of game did you develop?”
“It’s a card game. It hasn’t been named yet. The investment budget is huge at the moment,” Fu Xiuyuan said simply.
Shi Jin knew that he rarely managed these specific matters of the company, but he still understood them very well.
She nodded. “Card game, huh? Good. Very good.”
In the future, it would occupy the front end of the entire industry. The initial investment was indeed huge, but once it rose, almost all the subsequent income would be real money, and the subsequent maintenance funds would be negligible.
“If you want to play, I’ll get them to give you a beta version.”
“Sure.” Shi Jin immediately agreed.
Fu Xiuyuan reached out with his slender fingers and rubbed the top of her head. “Then who’s gonna spend time with me?”
His aloofness was replaced by grievance at this moment, like a pitiful dog who wanted a hug. His innocent and bright eyes looked pitifully at her.
