The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 807 - 806. This scene seems familiar...

Tang Shu sighed inwardly at the cleverness and felt a sense of meeting her match. This feeling didn’t annoy her; instead, there was a growing eagerness bubbling up within her.

"Alright, it’s my fault. So, dear Xiao Ye Zi, what are your thoughts now?"

Despite appearing like a well-behaved top student who never causes trouble at a prestigious school, Ye Xiaohui’s thoughts were clearly more meticulous than the average person’s, enabling her to easily apply her logic to analyze the situation.

Furthermore, the fact that she could become friends with the erratic Cheng Ranran and get along for almost twenty years also reflected a slight mischief in her heart.

Tang Shu swore that Ye Xiaohui was more difficult to handle than any of the Damo heiresses she had encountered before.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the girl across from her revealed an amused smile:

"Of course... it means joining us in the lab to process the herbs and completing all the papers!"

Tang Shu’s eyes widened in shock.

Complete all the papers? What a massive undertaking!

"You really are a little witch..."

One could foresee that life for the next week would be utterly devoid of daylight.

"Eh? I’ve never heard that nickname before, but thank you for the compliment."

Tang Shu couldn’t believe it, "How on earth did you hear a compliment in that?"

"Your expression of shock mixed with admiration."

"..." She was only shocked, no admiration, thanks.

Cheng Ranran quickly took her seat with her sweet and sour ribs and took a content sip of her milk oatmeal porridge.

"What are you guys talking about, it seems so joyful?"

Tang Shu weakly twitched the corner of her mouth. So, Ran Bao, where exactly do you see the joy? It’s clearly one person being coerced and the other passively accepting!

Before she could respond, Ye Xiaohui with a smiling face said ahead of her, "Xiao Shu said she will join us in completing the experiments and the papers, how about that, looking forward to it?"

"Ah? Shushu, don’t you have work to do?"

Knowing that seeing her three times a week was already considered quite frequent.

"...Not too busy with work recently?"

"Oh~~ that’s also true, besides ’You Smile 2’, you don’t seem to have any other shooting tasks."

Cheng Ranran had her own logic in considering things and perfectly dodged the real thoughts of the two friends.

"But it’s great that you can help us finish the paper, although it’s a bit difficult to complete this massive writing task, we can certainly divide and cooperate... all thanks to that damn ’Giving and Taking’!"

"Pft—"

Ye Xiaohui, who was looking down at her meal, managed to hide the laughter in her eyes.

Tang Shu stiffened and looked away.

However, in an instant, she heard the endless grievances of her classmates discussing around her.

She: "..."

***

After finishing yet another paper comparing different herb processing methods, Tang Shu felt her ten fingers were nearly stiff.

Cheng Ranran put down the herbology textbook dense with notes, her eyes already resembling someone smelling a fragrance.

"Ah ah ah ah— When will the days end when the brain can keep up but not the typing speed!"

QAQ, why can’t her computer type by itself?

With red-framed glasses on, Ye Xiaohui lifted her head from a pile of data and gave her an annoyed glance.

"Compared to others, our dorm’s progress is already extraordinary, okay? Based on my understanding, other people’s papers aren’t even one-third done. These past few days, having Xiao Shu’s help has been a godsend, so just be secretly pleased."

"But I’ve been too busy to watch dramas for three days..."

"Don’t mind her, Xiao Shu. Help me check this step, where exactly did it go wrong? Why does it feel different from the video?"

"The prescription is fine, but the thickness of the Red Ginseng slices isn’t enough, resulting in the medicine losing its potency too quickly during decoction, affecting the final outcome."

"Is that so?"

"I’ll do it once, just watch."

In front of the large wooden red table, a pair of slender fingers skillfully manipulated a ten-centimeter-long piece of Red Ginseng, with the sharp blade slicing down as if leaving a lingering shadow.

Cheng Ranran caught this scene out of the corner of her eye, and an odd feeling surged in her heart.

"Eh? Why does this scene feel familiar?"

It seemed like she had seen it somewhere, but couldn’t remember.

Ye Xiaohui observed while muttering to herself, of course, it was familiar. If those hands were to wear a pair of PVC gloves, they would be exactly like the ones in the video!

By the way, with Ran Bao’s always offline intelligence, how did she manage to get into this university and still score high on every test?

At dusk, after greeting her two friends, Tang Shu left the traditional Chinese medicine lab. By then, the familiar black Volkswagen was already waiting at the school gate.

"Tiantian, take me to Starshine Media."

"Okay, Boss."

Yang Tiantian expertly started the Volkswagen and headed towards Starshine Media. In less than half an hour, she saw Luo Lin bustling about in the office.

"Did you call me here for something?"

"Director Zhang and Director Qi have sent over a few good scripts. Have a look and see if you’re interested. If all is well, we’ll start shooting in February next year."

Recently swamped Luo Lin accurately plucked out two scripts from a pile of folders and tossed them to her, then immediately returned to her work.

Tang Shu took the scripts and looked them over seriously. After being laid back for half a year, she indeed needed to take on a few roles to kick-start work mode.

"I remember ’Easy Rule Jianghu 2’ is also scheduled for post-year shooting, right?"

"Yes, the shooting period for this movie is only a month, and Director Qi’s side has already sent over the script, you can take it with you later."

Luo Lin picked up a cream-filled biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth, washing it down with a sip of coffee for a boost.

"Okay, maybe... you could hire a couple more people?"

Their own agent was already busy to the point of working while eating. Suddenly feeling a bit guilty, Tang - Boss - Shu strangely felt she had been too idle lately.

"I’m already doing that; I really do need two assistants, it’s been way too busy lately."

Since attending the Cloudscape Group’s annual meeting, all of Starshine Media’s artists have been busy, with Jiang Yan alone landing two Female Lead No.2 roles and three supporting female roles. The others also had significant gains.

Thinking of this, Luo Lin thanked those few invitations once more.

"By the way,"

She took a moment to look up at Tang Shu, "There’s a national drama awards ceremony at the beginning of January. The ’Corridor Pavilion’ crew has been invited, and the character Lu Xiangtong has entered the competition for Best Female Supporting Actress."

"So soon?"

"Not really soon, the awards ceremony takes place every year in early January. Given ’Corridor Pavilion’s’ huge success and persistent popularity, it’s bound to be one of this year’s biggest winners in national dramas."
