Names mentioned in this chapter (which can also be found in the glossary ):
-云舒( yún shū)- Yun Shu, the female lead

Fang Ling arranged a meeting with Fu Ran at a cafe near the film set.
Fang Ling and Fu Ran met privately not for anything else but for the script written by Yun Shu.
With Fang Ling’s current status, it was impossible not to send in the script she fancied. Her family even owned a film and television company, but she finally chose to pass it to Fu Ran.
There would still be a separate layer if she sent it using her hands. Regardless of how she helped Yun Shu, it would not change the fact that Yun Shu was still just a fledgling scriptwriter. She wouldn’t have much say. At any time, bullshit things might occur. Hence, it was better to pass it to Fu Ran.
Who would care about his wife’s affairs if he doesn’t do so?
Fang Ling’s original intention was to visit Fu Ran’s film and television company. However, since Fu Ran was here, she did not bother to make another trip and directly arranged a meeting with him.
Once they met, Fang Ling got right to the point and showed the script written by Yun Shu to Fu Ran.
When Fu Ran saw the script, he remained silent.
Fang Ling felt a little pressurised and sensed that Fu Ran’s mood was not very pleasant. With her experience of writing so many romantic stories, he should be a little angry; angry that Yun Shu didn’t tell him about this nor give him the script directly. Fang Ling summed up her courage and explained, “Shu’er doesn’t have much confidence in herself.”
“Is that so?” Fu Ran did not deny it.
Fang Ling felt the pressure intensifying, and she was even slightly breathless. She braced herself to say, “The script she wrote is really good. I hope it won’t be overlooked.”
But Fu Ran suddenly asked a question unrelated to the current subject, “You and Shu Shu are very close?”
Fang Ling was unsure, but he did not dare to not answer this big boss’s question. She replied, “We talk a lot.”
Fu Ran’s lips moved imperceptibly as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he gave up, took a sip of coffee and then said, “Thank you for taking care of her all this time.”
“No, you don’t have to thank me. She and I are friends.”
Fu Ran said, “Don’t worry about the script. I will make arrangements as soon as possible.”
Fang Ling let out a sigh of relief. Then, she saw Fu Ran also stand up and subconsciously did the same.
Fu Ran said, “I still have some business to attend to in my company. I’ll leave first. I appreciate your willingness to inform me about it, and please take care of Shu Shu.”
“I will.”
Fang Ling’s and Fu Ran’s meeting ended with Fu Ran leaving first. Fang Ling looked at the man’s departing back and felt that Fu Ran’s mood was even worse.
— Oh, she didn’t do a bad thing with good intentions, did she?
……
Fang Ling returned to the set. After much hesitation, she still chose to confess with Yun Shu.
Yun Shu was first stunned and then a little angry.
Fang Ling persuaded her, “You have been in the circle for so long, and you should be very clear that not using your personal connections is a very wasteful thing, let alone how useful Fu Ran is. Don’t tell me you don’t know who he specifically acquired a film and television company for.”
Yun Shu, “….”
She really did not know.
Yun Shu asked doubtfully, “What do you mean by that? Didn’t Fu Ran intend to enter the entertainment industry?”
Fang Ling rolled her eyes and said, “The Fu family is not very fond of the entertainment industry. They have rarely ventured into the entertainment industry before. If not for love this time, why would Fu Ran specifically acquire a film and television company and specifically spend money to hire someone to write the script?”
Yun Shu asked in surprise, “These scripts are recently written?”
Fang Ling replied, “Not really. Some of them are good scripts that the writers can’t sell out indiscriminately, so they have a huge stockpile. These are not easy to buy with money.” Fang Ling added after much deliberation, “Fu Ran had a requirement when accepting these scripts.”
“What requirement?”
“There must be an outstanding female character in the script.”
