The Aftermath of Divorcing the Wealthy Man chapter 7

Su Lingwei tapped the documents on the table with her fingers. A slight smile appeared on her face, which had been somewhat serious before. It was unclear if Assistant Zhang had misread her, but he seemed to think that there was a hint of secret joy in Su Lingwei’s smile.

Joy?

Assistant Zhang was startled by this thought. Was there something worth being happy about now?

“Do you know this director? Has he made any dramas before?” Su Lingwei pointed to the name on the script and asked.

“Han Zhiguo?” Assistant Zhang tried hard to search in his mind, but in the end, he found no information about the name “Han Zhiguo.” He furrowed his brow slightly and shook his head. “I don’t know him, I don’t have any impression.”

Su Lingwei quickly took out her phone and searched for “Director Han Zhiguo,” but in the end, she only found a campus short film called “Those Years That Touched Our Hearts” and nothing else.

At this point, based on her memories from her past life, Su Lingwei could almost conclude that before filming “Overnight Riches”, Han Zhiguo, the director, was indeed an unknown small director who didn’t even have any notable works.

However, Su Lingwei clearly remembered that in her previous life, Yufeng Entertainment had invested in the film “Overnight Riches” directed by Han Zhiguo. With an investment of less than 35 million, it grossed over 1.35 billion, which was a very impressive result.

Yufeng Entertainment made a fortune with this film, and Han Zhiguo, the director, also rose to fame, becoming a well-known comedy director in the country. He then went on to film three more films in the same series, all of which were very profitable, with increasing box office numbers.

Looking at the script in front of her, Su Lingwei couldn’t help but sigh. It turns out that Han Zhiguo had once submitted the script for “Overnight Riches” to Jiahe Entertainment, hoping that they would invest in it.

Unfortunately, Jiahe Entertainment missed this opportunity and did not invest in him, nor did they earn as much money. Instead, Yufeng Entertainment seized the opportunity, and from then on, Jiahe Entertainment gradually began to decline.

In this life, Su Lingwei didn’t want to miss this opportunity again.

Since Yufeng Entertainment had schemed to take away Director Sun and his team from her, as well as the high-quality project they had been preparing for months, she would take the initiative to secure the film “Overnight Riches,” which had been a huge success for Yufeng Entertainment in her previous life. It was a matter of give and take, with neither party owing the other anything.

“Assistant Zhang, quickly contact Director Han Zhiguo and ask him to come to the company today.” The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be. To avoid unnecessary complications, Su Lingwei wanted to meet with Director Han Zhiguo today and finalize the investment in “Overnight Riches.”

The Red Star Community, located in the suburbs and close to the industrial park, has gradually become a residential gathering place for migrant workers due to its low rent.

Han Zhiguo, not a local of Rongcheng, lived in the Red Star Community with his good friend Xu Dingjun after graduating from college because he was short of money and shared the same dream of performing arts.

Han Zhiguo woke up after ten in the morning. He and Xu Dingjun worked at the bar last night and didn’t return home to rest until after three in the morning.

At this time, a familiar ringtone sounded from his phone. Han Zhiguo reached out and picked up the phone lying on the bed, seeing that it was an unfamiliar number.

Han Zhiguo’s first reaction was that it might be a scam call, so he didn’t immediately answer it.

“Who’s calling?” Xu Dingjun heard the phone ring and saw Han Zhiguo holding the phone but not answering it, couldn’t help asking.

“I don’t know, it’s an unknown number.” Han Zhiguo replied.

“Then answer it. How would you know who’s calling if you don’t answer?” Xu Dingjun’s handsome and straightforward face matched his direct personality.

The phone had already rung once. If it rang for more than ten seconds, it would hang up automatically. Han Zhiguo followed Xu Dingjun’s advice and answered the call.

“Hello.”

“Is this Director Han Zhiguo? I’m from Jiahe Entertainment Company.” A gentle and polite male voice came from the phone, addressing Han Zhiguo as director.

When Han Zhiguo heard that it was from Jiahe Entertainment Company, he felt a sudden joy in his heart, but he restrained himself, not letting the sudden joy cloud his judgment, and calmly said, “I am Han Zhiguo. What can I do for you?”

“Well,” Assistant Zhang said on the phone, “our company’s Assistant General Manager Ms. Su saw the movie script you submitted, and she is very interested in ‘Overnight Riches.’ She hopes to have a face-to-face meeting with you. Are you available today? She really hopes to meet you.”

“Are you really from Jiahe Entertainment Company?” Han Zhiguo seemed incredulous. After all, there were too many fake companies pretending to be entertainment companies nowadays.

He had submitted the script for “Overnight Riches” several months ago and had not been contacted by any company. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, Jiahe Entertainment Company, a well-known company in the industry, actually called him and said they wanted to have a meeting with him. This made him both surprised and suspicious.

What if it’s fake? What if he’s being deceived?

Just like last time, someone called him saying they could invest in his script, asking him to come for an interview. But when he went, he found out the other party was a smooth-talking scammer who boasted about the company’s size and how much money they could invest in his movie. In the end, after saying all that, they asked him to pay five thousand yuan as an entry fee to join the company. He wouldn’t be fooled into falling for that.
