355: The Han Family

The Han Family

"Mr. Han... I'm afraid that won't do! We've been filming for half a month already. If we switch the female lead now, it'll waste a lot of time." The director said with difficulty. Furthermore, there was no telling if the newbie had a good acting skill or not. Mr. Han was the investor, but the director had to consider the ratings first.2

Han Shang's expression changed immediately. He said impatiently, "Do what I say. I am the investor, no? The filming has started for only half a month. That's not that long."

Han Shang was the second son of the Han Family and the president of Jing Nan Entertainment. Due to his good looks, he was sent into the entertainment industry by his family. Han Shang was always surrounded by fluff news, but he was shrewd and capable. 

However, what caught Mo Li's attention was not Han Shang but the man behind him... Mo Li felt like she had seen him before. Even though he usually didn't wear a pair of glasses, Mo Li thought he looked very familiar.

"Right, my little brother is going to join the budgeting team. You should get to know him."

That man... it is Han Xu! Mo Li adjusted her mask so that the man would not recognize her. 

"I can allow her to join the crew but if her acting skill is not up to par, even if she is Director Han's people, she can't be the female lead." A male voice said. Mo Li turned around to see another familiar face, and he was the model, Jin Chuan.

"Mr. Director, Brother Chuan, nice to meet you, I am Li Min. How about I try out for the role of Fu Jinying now? Cough, cough..."

"What's wrong? I knew Pearl River is still too cold for you." From the concern Han Shang showed Li Min, they seemed to share an unusual relationship.

"It's nothing. I was too excited yesterday night because Mr. Han said he would bring me to the set. Brother Chuan, I didn't have a good night's sleep yesterday, so my performance won't be as good as I hoped. Therefore..."

"Therefore, you can skip the audition and go back to rest! If your physical condition could impact your audition, then you better go home to rest. Your health is most important." Jin Chuan said, but internally he just wanted to chase this unknown woman away. He had invested in this movie, and the film would be the masterpiece that would propel him from a model to a serious actor. He would not allow any random person to ruin it.

"Erm... It's not that... I can still do my best."

Han Shang patted Jin Chuan's shoulders and laughed, "Haha, the kid is only joking with you. Our top model's time is very precious, there is no way he could wait for you to recover and come back to audition. Am I right?"

Han Shang's intention was clear. Since the boss had said that, what else could Jin Chuan do but sigh helplessly? "Yes, I was just joking. Go prepare your lines then."

"Okay, thank you for giving me a chance, Brother Chuan."

Jin Chuan glanced at Han Shang, "Is she really going to be fine?"

"Don't worry. You'll see that Li Min is the right choice for the female lead."

Mo Li's heart was heavy. If she was to borrow an analogy, the Han Family was like a royal court. Elder Han was the king and his sons were the princes. However, only one prince would ascend to be the king.

Elder Han didn't know how to pick his heir in the original plot, so he gave them different tests.

His proudest was his eldest son, Han Xia, who managed all the Han Family's businesses; Han Shang had the cleverest mind so he handled everything related to PR like Nan Jing Entertainment and all the nightclubs.

His third and fourth sons all had something to manage, but Han Xu got nothing. Elder Han only had Han Xu assist his older brothers.

Mo Li sighed. In the original book, after Han Xu returned to the Han Family, he entered the royal court. Realizing the unfair treatment, Han Xu became corrupted started to twist and he plotted to slowly destroy his older brothers. When the Han Family realized what he was doing, it was already too late.

When the illegitimate son stood before Elder Han with the blood of his older brothers on his hands, Elder Han only had one thing to say, "You have passed my test... You are my most suitable heir." Before everyone, Elder Han passed the family to Han Xu, and Han Xu inherited everything.

However, after Han Xu took over the family, he turned against Elder Han. The man tortured his father. Before his death, Elder Han still believed Han Xu bore a grudge against him. He demanded to know the truth from Han Xu before he died but Han Xu merely shrugged and smiled.

So it has already started?

Mo Li tried her best to turn her attention elsewhere. After all, what happened to the Han Family had nothing to do with her. She was not the original Mo Li and she couldn't care less about what Han Xu did.

Suddenly a wail interrupted Mo Li's thoughts.
