Chen Xuan called out once, then drove to the airport.

Yang Leshan didn't forget to mock, "Wanxi, don't get your hopes up too high, or else you'll be more disappointed later."

"With someone like Chen Xuan, can he really invite a good director? I won't believe it even if you beat me to death!"

Lin Wanxi didn't say much, "Let's see how it goes later, even if it's really a newcomer director, as long as the skill level is there, that's fine."

Hehe!

Yang Leshan sneered, "This sort of thing is proportional! A newcomer director is called 'newcomer' for a reason — lack of experience and something missing."

"Truly skilled newcomer directors are as rare as hen's teeth! Chen Xuan doesn't have that sort of luck, like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!"

"Besides, he even boasted about helping for free, which is even more unbelievable."

Lin Wanxi sighed helplessly, "Now we can only wait for the person to arrive, there's no other good way."

...

On the other side, Chen Xuan drove to the airport and waited outside.

Soon, Li Jieming came out from the airport, walking with a slight limp on his left leg.

The sequela from having his left leg broken last time.

"Mr. Chen, sorry to keep you waiting." Li Jieming hurriedly approached, with a flattering smile on his face.

Chen Xuan nodded, "Let's go to the company with me, I'll treat your leg injury later."

"Okay, I'm at Mr. Chen's disposal." Li Jieming followed Chen Xuan into the car with a cheerful smile.

Returned to New Moon Entertainment Company.

Chen Xuan entered the office, "Wanxi, I've brought the person over."

Li Jieming limped into the office, smiling and greeting, "Hello, Miss Lin."

Huff! Huff!

Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan gasped sharply, never expecting the person to be the famed Director Li from the Beijing Circle.

He's won countless domestic awards and once received the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival!

A truly top-tier director!

"Director Li, I didn't expect it to be you, sorry for not welcoming you from afar, my apologies."

Lin Wanxi quickly stood up to greet him, full of warmth and a smile.

Had she known it was Director Li coming, she would have personally accompanied Chen Xuan to the airport to welcome him.

Yang Leshan was still immersed in shock, unable to come back to her senses.

Li Jieming smiled politely, "Miss Lin, you're too kind, Mr. Chen has shown confidence in me, giving me this opportunity."

"I will do my utmost to help Miss Lin film this short drama well."

"Director Li, please don't say that, it makes me feel overwhelmed."

Lin Wanxi was full of excitement and smiled, "Chen Xuan, make sure to arrange a good hotel for Director Li, we can't neglect such an esteemed guest."

"Don't worry about me, any hotel will do." Li Jieming waved with a smile.

Chen Xuan softly said, "I've already arranged the hotel, I'll have Jin Jiu take Director Li there."

"Director Li, please go to the hotel room first, I'll come over later."

"Alright, alright, then I'll go first." Li Jieming got up, smiling as he walked out.

Lin Wanxi looked at Chen Xuan with astonishment in her eyes, "I didn't expect you'd bring Director Li here, with such high status, how did you invite him?"

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, "Do you remember Huang Xian'Er?"

Lin Wanxi paused for a moment, then recalled, "Ah, I see! No wonder Director Li is being so polite and even helping for free."

"Because of that matter, you have leverage over him!"

Chen Xuan just smiled without explaining deliberately, turned to look at Yang Leshan with an amused smile, "What do you think of Director Li's status?"

Yang Leshan's face didn't look good, she huffed lightly, "I see now, you're holding something over his head, using it as an opportunity to coerce!"

"Getting him here through manipulation isn't true skill."

Hehe!

Chen Xuan scoffed with disdain, "No matter the method, the person is here, so you lost."

"Hurry up, call me 'good brother' three times."

"Chen Xuan, you..." Yang Leshan was trembling with anger, she truly couldn't bring herself to say it, it was too humiliating.

"Want to renege?" Chen Xuan laughed contemptuously, "It's not that easy, a bet's a bet, call me quickly, I'm waiting."

Lin Wanxi shook her head slightly, "Chen Xuan, is it necessary to be so serious? It's just a joke, don't hold onto it so tightly."

Chen Xuan looked calm, "Wanxi, it's not that I insist on arguing with her."

"These past few days, she's targeted me at every turn, either mocking or belittling, I'm not that magnanimous."

"Yang Leshan, fulfill your promise! This is humiliation you brought upon yourself, you can't blame anyone else."

Yang Leshan was both anxious and angry, filled with grievance, completely in a bind by Chen Xuan...
