Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 619: Chapter 619 Getting Scolded Every Day (3/5)

He Yiran had heard from Mei Mengzhen that Ji Chengnan had bought quite a few things on the Xiyuan APP, but several days had passed, and the goods should have already arrived.

Mei Mengzhen actually hadn’t paid much attention to this, until Fan Tianyu immediately responded upon hearing this, "They’ve arrived, they were delivered with the same batch of goods that we received and were carried up together, Director An bought more, Ji Chengnan didn’t buy much."

Mei Mengzhen nodded and said, "Right, I know the order I placed for him. Since he hasn’t dined at Xiyuan before, it’s quite normal for him to want to try a little bit first to see if the items are good."

Although Ji Chengnan didn’t buy large quantities of each product, he did buy a variety of items, so naturally, several large boxes were shipped, indicating his curiosity to try them out.

They were a lively group to begin with, and now reunited after a brief separation, they had even more to talk about gathered around the dining table, chattering away merrily. The two bottles of wine they had while eating and drinking were clearly not enough, and Fan Tianyu decided to go upstairs again to bring down two more bottles.

Just as Fan Tianyu mentioned An Fang and Ji Chengnan, he ran into these two in the elevator. However, their expressions were clearly not very pleasant, looking at An Fang’s face, contorted in anger, and Ji Chengnan’s tired visage, Fan Tianyu thought for a long time and decided it was still more polite to greet them, "Hello."

An Fang really didn’t feel like talking to anyone at that moment, but seeing that it was Fan Tianyu, An Fang still managed a forced smile and greeted, "Hello, President Fan, aren’t you with Zhenzhen?"

"A friend came, the same few people we met last time at dinner. We are all having a meal together in the restaurant. We’re short on wine so I came down to get two more bottles. But you are..."

An Fang waved his hand dismissively, obviously not wanting to talk about it, so Fan Tianyu closed his mouth.

This restaurant was different from other hotels. Perhaps to make it convenient for nearby tourists to dine, the restaurant wasn’t located on the top floor but rather on a lower floor.

The group went upstairs with the elevator and walked down after reaching the designated floor.

Actually, Fan Tianyu and An Fang were staying on the same floor. The hotel had uniform standards, and to make things convenient, the film crew had booked both this floor and the one below so everyone could stay close by and easily communicate.

Watching An Fang and Ji Chengnan enter their rooms, Fan Tianyu thought for a moment and decided to bring them two bottles of wine along with his own.

Fan Tianyu knocked on An Fang’s door, and An Fang opened it almost immediately. Seeing it was Fan Tianyu, An Fang asked with some confusion, "President Fan, did you need something?"

"Nothing much. This wine is from Xiyuan, I brought two bottles for you to try."

Fan Tianyu handed over the two bottles and then asked, "Do you know which room Mr. Ji is staying in? I’ve also prepared two bottles for him."

Ji Chengnan, hearing his name, rushed out and said, "I’m here."

Fan Tianyu handed over the other two bottles, "I don’t know if you drink, but Xiyuan’s wine tastes good. You can try it. I won’t disturb you any longer and will head down now."

After saying his piece, Fan Tianyu went downstairs with his own two bottles.

Closing the room door, An Fang pondered with frustration, "The more I think about it, the angrier I get. If it weren’t for a lack of money, I wouldn’t tolerate him."

Ji Chengnan didn’t share the same view, "With the way the filming is going, even if we put up with it now, there’ll be big problems once the movie is released. It’s easy to spot the weaknesses throughout the film, and if the shooting results aren’t good, even if he’s the only one with issues, the follow-up troubles won’t be minor."

Ji Chengnan knew the difficulty An Fang was facing, so he had also invested a bit in the film. However, it was like a drop in the bucket, since Ren Li’s investor had a major stake in the film. "It would be great if someone else could invest that much money instead."

After finishing speaking, An Fang glanced at the Xiyuan wine and suddenly brightened up, "What if I ask Xiyuan to invest in us? Zhenzhen generates millions from a single order. She certainly has more than just me as a client, and the He family’s young lady wouldn’t let her company not make money, naturally, they’ll cultivate clients, they surely aren’t short of money. If we could get Xiyuan’s sponsorship, we could kick him out right away. Without him, I feel I could live a few more years."

"Leaving aside whether Xiyuan would invest, what if you get rid of him and he retaliates from behind?"

An Fang waved his hand dismissively, "I’ve been in this circle for so many years, and I know these things. He’s been in the industry for just a few years and is already so full of himself. Ren Li won’t last long; he might just fizzle out before my movie even premieres."

The Entertainment Circle is just like that, countless people arise and fall overnight. Having seen much of this, Ji Chengnan naturally didn’t dispute An Fang’s point; but how to secure sponsorship from Xiyuan?

An Fang pondered, "Director Fan said that Zhenzhen is dining with friends today, making it inconvenient. Maybe tomorrow, but I can’t, there’s a night scene tomorrow, and Zhenzhen has to prepare two looks." That meant Mei Mengzhen would only be free the day after tomorrow. "We’ll see how it goes tomorrow. That’s the schedule, and it’s not certain if we’ll need the other look."

Although Ji Chengnan got along alright with An Fang, he truly wasn’t in a position to comment on these matters and could only nod, choosing not to say anything more.

Having formed a plan, An Fang felt much better. He had his assistant buy some dishes and started drinking with the bottle of Xiyuan’s Red Wine, "I don’t think I’ve told you before, but Xiyuan’s red wine is really good."

Ji Chengnan said, "You’ve mentioned it, I remember you saying it last time. I also bought a few bottles, but I haven’t tried them yet."

"Then you must try it properly. The wine is truly excellent."

...

Back in the restaurant, Fan Tianyu shared the recent events with Mei Mengzhen, who naturally didn’t mind. However, concerning the mood of An Fang and Ji Chengnan, Huang Jing suggested, "Maybe it’s because of Ren Li."

Upon hearing this name, there was no need for details, Mei Mengzhen understood immediately. However, the name Ren Li was indeed very familiar. Wang Qiuhe said, "Ren Li, isn’t that the singer Ren Li? Sister Zhenzhen, I really like him. Have you met him? Are you going to act with him?"

"Yes."

Mei Mengzhen instinctively resisted the name, and He Yiran immediately noticed, asking, "What about this person, is there a problem?"

Yan Keke explained, "He looks alright, but he has an awful temper and his acting is poor. We heard that he gets scolded every day during the three days Zhenzhen learned etiquette. Didn’t they start shooting yesterday? We watched on the spot and were flabbergasted. It took a whole morning without a scene being completed successfully."

He Yiran’s logic was simple, "If he’s not good, just replace him. It’s a movie, not a TV series."
