Huanyu Tower.

By the window, a man stood tall and upright; his deep-set eyes, proud and distant, gazed at the tall buildings outside the window.

Earlier, the board of directors had a heated argument over the female lead role for the ‘The Green Apple’ movie.

The female lead had already been decided internally. The nationwide audition was just a publicity stunt as a warm-up to the eventual release.

Lin Fengtian was absent from the board meeting, yet he made his stance clear over the phone.

He expressed his support for Yun Shishi, a newbie with superior qualities, and wanted her to play the lead role.

All the investors and producers were thoroughly upset by this and unanimously voted against it.

The role had already been set for Lu Jingtian. How could an unknown newbie come out of nowhere and enchant Lin Fengtian into selecting her?

When Lin Fengtian heard that Lu Jingtian had been selected internally, he announced his decision not to direct the show unless the female lead was Yun Shishi. The art film he wanted to direct had been reduced to shambles, and that antagonized him into making such a bold declaration.

The lead director’s threat to resign from production stunned the collective directors, and they proceeded to apologize and ask for his forgiveness.

This might be a good script, but, without Lin Fengtian, this film would be nothing.

The movie would lose half its appeal without him.

Hence, the meeting ended badly.

Lu Jingtian was also present during Yun Shishi’s audition. That breathtaking scene was still vivid in her mind, which made her all the more jealous and envious.

That Yun Shishi successfully portrayed the innocence and beauty of Yin Xiachun with her near-perfect acting. Lu Jingtian was initially satisfied with her performance at the audition, but when she saw Yun Shishi’s, she knew she could have done better.

The crying scene she had performed at the audition was overly exaggerated.

“Hmph! She is so opportunistic!” Lu Jingtian commented resentfully. Looking imploringly at Mu Yazhe, she whined, “Brother Mu, you’ll let Jingtian have this role, won’t you?”

Mu Yazhe glanced briefly at her without a word.

She held tightly onto his arm with much coyness. “Brother Mu, Jingtian really likes this novel. It is Jingtian’s biggest dream to act the character of Yin Xiachun! It is Jingtian’s little wish, so you’ll agree, right?”

Mu Yazhe deftly removed his arm from her embrace. In a calm and cool voice, he said, “Jingtian, I give in to you because that’s what your grandpa wants. You know very well that I’m impartial when it comes to business. This may be an investment by Huanyu, but I don’t interfere with role selection.”

“Brother Mu…” Her face turned red. This was the first time he had refused her.

She knew that the role selection was decided by directors, but this was hardly the case in the current entertainment industry!

It was normal for a director to have limited power over the selection of actors and actresses. Even for acclaimed directors like Lin Fengtian, they had to take into consideration the investors’ requirements. Huanyu Entertainment was the biggest investor in this film, so the company would have its fair share of deciding power.

Mu Yazhe returned to his desk and coolly said, “You are not a child anymore. You can’t get your way all the time.”

“Brother Mu!”

“Go,” he commanded impatiently.

Lu Jingtian knew not to test his patience and dared not insist. She moodily took her leave.

Not long after, Aaron knocked on door and walked into the office.

“Director Mu.”

Mu Yazhe leaned on the office seat; his eyes on Aaron were sharp and penetrating.

For some reason, his penetrating gaze greatly disturbed Aaron!
