Rebirth: Back to before the tragedy

An hour later, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the film and television city.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw producer Zhang Ben, smiling and welcoming me warmly.

"Mr. Chi, it's a great honor for you to attend the opening ceremony of this TV series!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuange, who was standing aside, was stunned and looked at Chi Morong in confusion.

"So you didn't just come here to see me off, you were originally going to attend the opening ceremony?"

Chi Morong looked at her, but before she could answer, Zhang Ben smiled and took over the conversation.

"Mr. Chi is the biggest investor in our drama, so he has to attend the opening ceremony!"

Before he finished speaking, he received a sharp look from Mr. Chi. Zhang Ben's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Jiang Yuange on the side heard this and his eyes widened, looking at Chi Morong in surprise.

This sudden news caught her completely off guard. Her eyes swept back and forth between Chi Morong and Zhang Ben several times, and a sense of speculation gradually arose in her heart.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and blurted out,

"So, I got the leading female role because you invested in this drama. I brought money into the production?"

The sudden discovery of this fact made her unable to accept it all of a sudden.

After all, she was naive. Before this, she always thought that she caught the producer's eye because of her external advantages and got the leading female role.

But looking at the expressions on Zhang Ben and Chi Morong's faces, that was not the case. She was able to get the leading female role entirely because Chi Morong invested in the drama, and he invested because she was going to play the role.

How could things turn out like this? She had been working hard, hoping to one day completely get rid of Chi Morong. When she got the leading female role in this big production, she thought she was one step closer to her goal. But now the facts tell her that this leading female role was bought for her by Chi Morong.

Just as the atmosphere between the few people here was heavy, a woman's voice came from not far away,

"Jiang Yuange."

Jiang Yuange was lost in thought when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

Looking up, she saw a tall, beautiful woman walking towards her quickly.

"Chu Feiyao?"

Jiang Yuange looked at the woman in front of him in surprise and hesitantly called out a name.

Seeing the other party's surprised face, Chu Feiyao pouted her lips in anger and said dissatisfiedly,

"Why, you don't recognize me after not seeing me for half a year?"

Jiang Yuange quickly explained,

"It's really you. You've become more and more beautiful. I can hardly recognize you."

Chu Feiyao lifted the hair that fell by her ear, threw her a coquettish look, and said coquettishly,

"Thanks for the compliment, but I think so too."

Seeing her actions, Jiang Yuange just smiled, but Lin Jie, who was a few steps away, frowned. She glanced at Mr. Chi beside Jiang Yuange and found that Mr. Chi's eyes were not on Chu Feiyao, so she felt relieved.

Seeing that Jiang Yuange was no longer worried about his investment, Chi Morong felt inexplicably relieved.

Zhang Ben wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled more flatteringly, and lowered his voice unconsciously:

"Mr. Chi, Ms. Jiang, the opening ceremony is ready, and we are just waiting for you two."

He would definitely treat the young lady in front of him as his ancestor in the future, and he once again raised Jiang Yuange's status in his heart.

Jiang Yuange knew that people in the entertainment industry always attached great importance to this opening ceremony, and even had some superstition about it, so she adjusted her mindset and said to Zhang Ben with a smile,

"Then let's go there quickly."

Chi Morong nodded to Zhang Ben, naturally took Jiang Yuange's hand, and walked towards the opening ceremony together.

Jiang Yuange lowered his eyes and looked at the big hand holding his, feeling a little hesitant.

She knew that if she attended the opening ceremony with Chi Morong, she would definitely be labeled as a "resourceful person".

Although this is true, she does not want the outside world to see her this way. She hopes to be recognized by her own strength and hard work, rather than relying on the help of others.

Thinking of this, her steps forward became a little heavy.

"what happened?"

Chi Morong sensed something strange about the person next to him, so he stopped and asked softly.

Jiang Yuange looked up at him and said in a low voice,

"Chi Morong, if I say that I don't want the people in the crew to know about our relationship, would you think I'm being pretentious?"

She got such a huge benefit and was the beneficiary, but she didn't want others to know that she relied on a man. Even she herself felt that she was both powerful and independent.

Chi Morong frowned slightly, turned around and faced Jiang Yuange, looked into her eyes seriously and said,

"I understand your thoughts. At work, you hope that everyone can see your true strength instead of being prejudiced against you because of our relationship."

But the purpose of his coming here today was to assert his sovereignty, so that the people in the crew would not be blind and have improper thoughts about her. How could they agree to her request at this time?

"But have you ever thought about it? With your status as the leading actress in such a big production, how would other people feel about it? Since you can't stop other people from speculating, why not show it openly?"

Chi Morong kneaded the woman's soft, boneless hands and explained patiently.

Given Chi Morong's personality, he would never have said so much in the past, but in order to achieve his goal and declare his sovereignty to everyone, he had to be patient.

The drama is expected to take eight months to shoot, during which time he has to prepare for the wedding and deal with his father's secret tactics. He doesn't have much time to visit her on the set, so he has to be fully prepared.

Jiang Yuange looked at Chi Morong's expression and knew that what he said made sense. He also realized that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. He stopped hesitating and obediently let the man lead him forward.

As they approached, the people who were waiting there all looked at them.

They naturally know the producer, but it is rare to be greeted by the producer personally and with a flattering look on his face.

Those who think quickly have already guessed that the visitor must be an investor, the major financial backer of this drama.

"This is our investor Mr. Chi, and this is the leading female character in the play, Jiang Yuange."

Zhang Ben’s subsequent introduction also confirmed everyone’s guess.

Everyone is present and the opening ceremony officially begins.

Jiang Yuange did not miss the gazes that were cast upon her. She told herself in her heart that since things had developed to this point, she must learn to accept it and learn to face these gazes calmly.

So when he met everyone's gazes, Jiang Yuange smiled back.
