The husband I got is actually the heir to a wealthy family

Mu Ningxi suddenly made this decision, leaving Li Sha at a loss for words. After thinking for a few seconds, Li Sha began to persuade him:

"Director Mu, Director Zeng probably did that for the sake of his box office. After all, the artists currently signed by our Huo's are all newcomers and may not necessarily drive the box office."

"But Mu Yanyan is different. With her joining, at least we can guarantee that the box office won't be too bad."

Hearing Li Sha say this, Mu Ningxi snorted and said, "Why, even you think that Director Zeng is not wrong to disregard the cooperation agreement and choose the role privately?"

"That's not what I meant. I'm just speaking the truth. Besides, Mu Yanyan has Leng's family behind her. In the entertainment industry, she can usually get any role she wants."

Seeing that Mu Ningxi was slightly angry at her, Li Sha hurriedly explained. In the end, Li Sha had to bring up the Leng family in order to make Mu Ningxi change her mind.

After all, the status of the Leng family in the capital cannot be underestimated, and Li Sha does not want the Leng family and the Huo family to become enemies because of this incident.

Seeing that Li Sha's statement was exactly the same as Chen Honggang's, and that she repeatedly emphasized that the financial backer behind Mu Yanyan was the Leng Group, Mu Ningxi felt even more unhappy.

In Mu Ningxi's words, the capable ones always come to the fore. It is obvious that Cheng Jingjing's performance is better than Mu Yanyan's, so why can't she get the leading role in this drama?

Mu Ningxi, who always treats people fairly, cannot tolerate such shady manipulation happening under her nose.

"With the Leng family backing her up, does Mu Yanyan want to be able to do whatever she wants in the entertainment industry without anyone daring to stop her?" Mu Ningxi asked Li Sha.

Hearing the sarcasm in Mu Ningxi's words, Li Sha opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

"Lisa, go tell Director Zeng to follow our previous contract. All the characters in his new drama must be signed by artists under Huo's contract. Otherwise, there will be no cooperation, and we, Huo's, will withdraw all investment in his new drama."

After Mu Ningxi finished speaking, looking at Li Sha's somewhat embarrassed expression, Mu Ningxi added: "Just tell him directly that this is what I mean. If he has any questions, he can come to me directly."

"Director Mu, if Director Zeng asks me who I'd like to arrange to be the female lead, how should I answer?" Li Sha had no idea who would be the female lead. Thinking of the questions that Director Zeng might ask, Li Sha asked Mu Ningxi for advice.

Mu Ningxi pondered for a few seconds and responded, "If he asks, just tell him and I will naturally find a satisfactory candidate for you."

Mu Ningxi just took a quick look and did not see the contract signed by Cheng Jingjing. In order not to alert the enemy, Mu Ningxi did not mention Cheng Jingjing to Li Sha for the time being.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Seeing that Mu Ningxi would not change her mind, Li Sha nodded and walked out of the office.

After watching Li Sha leave, Mu Ningxi closed the door of her office and walked out.

Walking downstairs, Mu Ningxi was about to take a taxi when she heard someone whispering, "Ningxi, you haven't left yet?"

Mu Ningxi turned around and saw Cheng Jingjing standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

Mu Ningxi shook her head and said frankly: "I just talked to them about something and was about to take a taxi back to the company."

"I'll take you there." When Cheng Jingjing heard that Mu Ningxi wanted to take a taxi, she took the initiative to ask.

Mu Ningxi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. She nodded in agreement and followed Cheng Jingjing to where she parked her car.

At this critical juncture, Mu Ningxi did not want to be caught by others, saying that she refused Mu Yanyan to be the heroine of the play because she was actually making room for Cheng Jingjing.

"My cousin is really something. He didn't even say he would buy you a car." After getting in the car, Cheng Jingjing stood up for Mu Ningxi.

Thinking of the limited edition Maserati that Huo Beichen had spent a lot of money to buy for her, Mu Ningxi quickly defended Huo Beichen:

"He bought me a car. When I came here today, I was with my colleagues, so I didn't drive my own car."

"Ning Xi, you are so protective of your cousin. It seems that your relationship has made great progress in recent times. So, when will you give birth to a little nephew for me?"

Seeing Mu Ningxi defending Huo Beichen like this, Cheng Jingjing joked.

"I won't have a child so early." Hearing Cheng Jingjing say this, Mu Ningxi responded embarrassedly.

She and Huo Beichen haven't even started dating yet, so how could she consider having children?

"If you are not anxious, then someone else will be. I heard that my uncle and aunt already know about my cousin's marriage. They may come back soon and torture my cousin to extract a confession."

"Given my aunt's love for children, she will definitely urge you to have a baby after knowing that you are married."

Cheng Jingjing smiled and told Mu Ningxi everything she knew.

"I know about this. I was there when your aunt called." Mu Ningxi said calmly, recalling the scene when Huo Beichen received a call from Huo's mother.

"How is it? Did my aunt force you to have a baby?" Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, Cheng Jingjing asked hurriedly.

Mu Ningxi shook her head slightly and did not respond.

Mu Ningxi had already sensed that Huo's mother was dissatisfied with her. Under such circumstances, how could Huo's mother still urge her and Huo Beichen to have a baby?

But this was a problem that needed to be resolved between her and Huo Beichen, and Mu Ningxi didn't want to tell Cheng Jingjing, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"By the way, how is Zihao these days? I've been busy and haven't visited him for a long time." Mu Ningxi didn't want Cheng Jingjing to continue this slightly heavy topic, so she changed the subject.

"That little brat has become more lively and cheerful since he started school. Ning Xi, just focus on your own things and don't worry about him."

Hearing that Mu Ningxi felt very guilty about not being able to go see Zheng Zihao, Cheng Jingjing comforted her.

Mu Ningxi nodded and then moved on to the next topic: "Jingjing, you came here today, have you decided to sign a contract with Huo's?"

Hearing Mu Ningxi's question, Cheng Jingjing, who was driving, turned around and smiled apologetically at her, saying, "I came here today to get the leading role in Director Zeng's play. As for signing with Huo's, I haven't thought about it yet."

After a pause, Cheng Jingjing continued, "But looking at the situation today, I am no longer eligible to be the heroine of that play. After all, with Mu Yanyan's connections, how could Director Zeng offend her and give the heroine to me?"

"Things haven't reached the final decision yet, Jingjing, you need to have more confidence in yourself." Not wanting to use this play to control Cheng Jingjing and make her sign a contract with Huo's against her will, Mu Ningxi could only give her a brief reminder.

"Ning Xi, don't comfort me. I've already seen Mu Yanyan and Director Zeng go to the room privately to discuss cooperation. How could it be that it hasn't been finalized yet?"

Giving a bitter smile to Mu Ningxi, Cheng Jingjing told her what she had seen before.

Normally, Cheng Jingjing could leave after the audition and just had to go back and wait for Director Zeng's reply.

She didn't leave because she wanted to see if the heroine of the play had already been decided and today's audition was just a formality.

When she saw Mu Yanyan and her group walk into the meeting room, Cheng Jingjing completely gave up. She knew that she had no hope anymore for this drama.

Seeing Cheng Jingjing's straightforward words, Mu Ningxi thought for a moment and asked back, "Jingjing, have you ever thought about why we at Huo's select artists in collaboration with those directors?"

"You mean, your Huo Group has cooperated with the directors present today?" Smart Cheng Jingjing reacted a little after hearing Mu Ningxi's question.

"I can't tell you the specifics for now. All I can say now is that I will do my best to help you get the leading actress in that play."

"Of course, all of this is based on your good acting skills. If you don't have this ability, I won't make such a decision because of the relationship between you and me."

Mu Ningxi didn't want to reveal to Cheng Jingjing the specific details of the collaboration with those directors.

"Ning Xi, thank you." Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, Cheng Jingjing responded gratefully.

"Jingjing, I really hope you can come to Huo's. Don't worry, I'm here and your cousin won't give you a hard time." Knowing that Cheng Jingjing must become a contracted artist of Huo's before this role can belong to her, Mu Ningxi directly expressed her thoughts.

In order to dispel Cheng Jingjing's concerns, Mu Ningxi assured her that Huo Beichen would not interfere in this matter.

Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, Cheng Jingjing nodded and responded: "Well, I will think about this matter carefully and give you a reply as soon as possible."

"How have you been getting along with Zhao Yu recently?" After finishing the business, Mu Ningxi became concerned about Cheng Jingjing's relationship issues.

"That's it, Ningxi. To thank you for your help, I want to repay you well." When Cheng Jingjing heard Mu Ningxi mention Zhao Yu, she quickly changed the subject.
