 "This... this is actually real! How is it possible?" Hu Yiyao stared into the mirror at a self that looked nearly ten years younger, so excited he was almost in tears.
 The scars from the car accident years ago had completely faded away, and his slightly lackluster, enlarged pores now brimmed with collagen; the face in the mirror was almost as if he were back in college.
 More importantly, Hu Yiyao clearly felt changes in some functions of his body. Due to long periods of filming without proper rest or exercise, he’d developed migraine headaches and other ailments, but he was sure he’d never felt this relaxed before!

 Hu Yiyao had hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to swallow that mysterious black pill, but it turned out he’d gambled right!
 The confidence and charisma of his youth seemed to have returned to him. With his years of evolving roles and improved acting skills, Hu Yiyao felt fully confident he could master any role.
 Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Wang Cong’s number, "Hello, Principal Wang? About the thing you asked me last time, I’ve thought it over..."
 ...
 The affairs of the Xiang family father and son seemed like a mere interlude. With Hua Qiyu’s intervention, naturally, they did not dare to trouble Fang Jueyu anymore, and as for Xiang You’s two companies, they ended up as nothing but tuition fees.
 Hua Qiyu sat alone in a corner elegantly sipping wine, gazing absentmindedly at the starry sky outside.
 "Whose call was it?" Fang Jueyu noticed the change in Wang Cong’s expression, a look more pained than if he’d eaten dung.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> "It was Hu Yiyao... he said he’d take the role for this film." Thinking of their previous bet on him dressing in drag to sing a song, Wang Cong felt like the sky was falling. There was no way he could ever do such a thing, but Fang Jueyu had left a recording. If that traitor posted it online, Wang Cong might be bombarded with tags for three days and nights.
 Fang Jueyu wasn’t surprised at all; he just thought Hu Yiyao’s speed was a bit fast. He had expected Hu Yiyao to hesitate for a night or two, but it seemed the allure of regaining youth was even greater than Fang Jueyu had imagined.
 "Did you already know he’d call me?" Seeing Fang Jueyu’s calm demeanor, Wang Cong suddenly felt he’d been played; surely, Fang Jueyu had whispered something crucial in Hu Yiyao’s ear to persuade him.
 "Obviously, if I wasn’t confident, would I have made such a big bet with you?" Fang Jueyu replied, "I’m just waiting to see you dress in drag, hahaha!"
 "Can I back out?" Wang Cong asked, pained.
 "Then perform a headstand while eating instant noodles, and drink all the soup too—that’ll work!"
 "You’re ruthless!" Wang Cong flipped him the middle finger.
 Xiang Lingyue was in the middle of delivering this gathering’s speech on stage, but he seemed somewhat distracted, glancing repeatedly at Fang Jueyu and Hua Qiyu.
 Artists from the three major companies and some other media companies began inquiring about the backgrounds of Fang Jueyu and Hua Qiyu. Though they got no results, Xiang Lingyue’s attitude said it all!
 After wrapping up the long speech, the banquet officially began, but Xiang Lingyue and his son seemed to have lost all interest in staying. Instead, the chairmen of the two other entertainment giants eagerly approached Fang Jueyu, trying to cozy up.
 Midway through the banquet, Fang Jueyu’s pants pocket was already a bit bulging, full of small notes from various female stars. Fang Jueyu could guarantee that if he were willing, every room would have a beautifully prepared woman waiting for him.
 Not just Fang Jueyu, even Wang Cong was receiving similar treatment. He delightedly recalled everyone’s face. But he was just one person; there was no way he could visit all those rooms in one night, right? Even a body of iron couldn’t withstand such a campaign!
 "Ancient emperors likely didn’t receive this much attention," Fang Jueyu casually crumpled the notes into a ball and tossed it in the trash. Those women were destined to be disappointed tonight.
 "Ah, wasting gifts from heaven!" Wang Cong shook his head regretfully at the sight. "Dude, are you sure you’re up to it?"
 "Do you want to dress in drag and sing?" Fang Jueyu gave him a threatening look.
 "No, no, no, you didn’t hear anything I just said!" As soon as he heard this, Wang Cong chickened out. "By the way, I’ve arranged for us to meet with the candidates we’ve shortlisted for the roles at ten. Join me later!"
 "Sure!" Fang Jueyu agreed without a second thought. He really didn’t like this kind of environment.
 Having eaten well, Fang Jueyu and Wang Cong headed straight to a private meeting room in the hotel, where several people were already waiting.
 "Is that Lin Ruohan?" Fang Jueyu’s gaze was instantly captured by the actress in the black dress.
 He remembered when Lin Ruohan first collaborated with Hu Yiyao, she was only seventeen, and now, after over a decade, she seemed unchanged. Her original innocence was now tinged with allure, but her spiritual energy only grew stronger with each passing day.

 "Mr. Fang!" Hu Yiyao hadn’t brought his agent. Without mentioning the black pill that Fang Jueyu had given him, even if Fang Jueyu didn’t offer him a dollar for this film, he’d have no qualms whatsoever.
 "It seems Mr. Hu is quite satisfied with my offering." Fang Jueyu gave him a knowing look.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Besides Hu Yiyao and Lin Ruohan, there were five or six others, selected for roles including Nalan Yanran, Yao Chen, Little Medical Immortal, and Medusa, as well as the director position. They had all brought their agents, making this a very formal meeting.
 "Thank you all for taking the time to discuss this collaboration with us," as the initiator of the film project, Wang Cong took the role of host, "I’ve already discussed the purpose of this meeting with your agents, so if you have any questions or requests, feel free to speak up."
 "I have a question!" The most whimsical girl raised her hand. Her name was Zhou Mengnan, a petite but mischievous and lovable girl who debuted as a child star and had acted in many projects; she was also the top choice for the role of Little Medical Immortal.
 "Go ahead!" Wang Cong smiled slightly, already bracing himself for all kinds of weird questions.
 "Fantasy-themed films in Huaxia have a poor reputation recently; I want to know why Principal Wang would invest so much in a project without guarantees?"
 "Good question," Wang Cong had considered this issue, "First, I’m quite fond of this novel’s IP. Secondly, I want to create a fantasy film that everyone acknowledges. That’s why I’ve invited a Hollywood special effects team and Director Jiang Chao. I’m confident."
 "Aren’t you afraid of losing money?" Li Ziqi asked with her sultry, magnetic voice. In terms of looks, figure, and aura, the role of Medusa seemed tailor-made for her. "According to your casting and requirements, the investment needs to be at least several billion, right?"
 "Several billion?" Wang Cong chuckled inwardly; add a couple of zeros, and that might be closer!
 However, Fang Jueyu’s plan was not something he intended to reveal just yet. "Originally, that was indeed a concern, but now I have a partner who isn’t afraid of losing money."
 "Whether we lose money or not doesn’t matter; what matters is that our payment remains untouched," Lin Ruohan’s agent said coolly.
 "Alright, let’s discuss compensation first," Fang Jueyu said, "Name your price, and I won’t haggle!"
