Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

After everyone had a good laugh, Ye Ningsuan invited Zhao Zhi into Ye Fei's office (which used to be Cheng Hui's, and now that the new general manager hadn't been appointed yet, Ye Fei was using it temporarily).

Ye Fei followed them in.

"Ms. Zhao, welcome aboard!"

As soon as they entered, Ye Fei greeted her politely.

Though she was a veteran in the industry, Ye Fei was the boss, so Zhao Zhi didn't act superior. She smiled and shook Ye Fei's hand, saying, "We're all colleagues now. Mr. Ye, you can just call me by my first name. Calling me 'Ms. Zhao' makes it seem so formal."

"Uh..."

Ye Fei hesitated for a moment. Given Zhao Zhi's age, she could easily be his grandmother.

Calling her by her first name felt awkward. But calling her " Ms. Zhao" like everyone else seemed inappropriate too. Ye Ningsuan seemed quite familiar with her and called her by her first name. If he did the same, it would mess up the generational hierarchy.

"I've known Zhao Zhi for a long time, so Ye Fei, you can just call her Auntie Zhao," Ye Ningsuan said, seemingly trying to bridge the gap between Ye Fei and Zhao Zhi.

"Sure, Auntie Zhao, please have a seat," Ye Fei said with a smile.

Zhao Zhi, as Ye Ningsuan had said, was an old acquaintance and didn't feel constrained. She casually sat down on the sofa and asked Ye Ningsuan, "Ningsuan, there's no one else here. Can you tell me the real reason you asked me to come? I've read the script for your Miss Situ. It's brilliant.

Even with all new faces, it's bound to be a hit. Whether I join or not won't make much difference. And if you're looking for a celebrity effect, I'm not the right choice. I haven't been in front of the camera for years. I'm not even sure if anyone would recognize me now."

Ye Ningsuan didn't speak but smiled and looked at Ye Fei. Ye Fei said, "Auntie Zhao, you're mistaken. We didn't ask you here for any celebrity effect. Besides, no one could ever forget you. In terms of acting, with your guidance, our company's actors will definitely reach a new level."

"So, Ye Fei, are you planning to use all new talent?" Zhao Zhi asked. Since Ye Ningsuan had already made her relationship with Ye Fei seem closer, she didn't hesitate and called him by his first name, just like Ye Ningsuan did.

"Not entirely," Ye Fei shook his head. "But mostly, I want to use new talent. I'll only consider those who truly have acting skills to join my company."

"Do you think the current actors have no talent?" Zhao Zhi asked with interest.

Ye Fei scoffed, "Is there even a need to say it? Look at these actors now. They just try to look cool or act cute, or they imitate Stephen Chow's nonsense comedy. If they could do it as well as Chow, that would be one thing, but they don't have his talent. They're all so fake it makes you want to throw up. They just use scandals to grab attention. That's why we want you, Auntie Zhao, to guide us. I don't want the actors from my company to turn out like that."@@novelbin@@

"These are just some ways to increase popularity," Zhao Zhi smiled, a bit embarrassed. "Actually, I've done the same thing in the past."

"That's why I want to change the current state of the Longguo film and television industry and make it truly bright," Ye Fei said.

"Not a place where people can become famous overnight just by sleeping with someone! I want to make Longguo's artistic endeavors the center of the world."

Zhao Zhi was taken aback. She never expected that this overly young president would have such an ambitious goal. But could he really achieve it?

Just as Zhao Zhi thought Ye Fei was just spouting some youthful bravado, Ye Ningsuan said earnestly, "I believe you can definitely do it."

Hearing Ye Ningsuan's words, Zhao Zhi was even more surprised. She could tell that Ye Ningsuan wasn't just saying this to make Ye Fei happy. She genuinely had absolute confidence in him.

Zhao Zhi had great admiration for Ye Ningsuan, who was over a decade younger than herself. Ye Ningsuan's fame wasn't just well-known in Wang Hai City; even in the distant Xiang City, almost everyone in the business world would give a thumbs-up when mentioning Ye Ningsuan, the controller of the Ye family.

And yet, such a prominent figure had faith in Ye Fei's ability to achieve what seemed like an impossible goal.

What unique qualities did this young man possess to earn Ye Ningsuan's confidence?

At this moment, Zhao Zhi felt a girlish curiosity towards Ye Fei. She was also secretly excited because, for artists like herself who had built their careers on real talent, the current entertainment industry was truly disappointing.

If Ye Fei could really do what he said, it would be an absolute breakthrough, and she felt extremely proud to be involved from the very beginning.

As Zhao Zhi was feeling excited inside, there was a knock on the office door.

Then Situ Ying walked in and said, "President, Mr. Ye, the first half of our first movie, 'Fairy Flight,' has been preliminarily completed. We're planning to do a trial screening to see the effect. Would you like to join us?"

This movie, which was essentially a one-woman show by Xu Weier, was ultimately given the rather ordinary name "Fairy Flight" by Situ Ying. She also revealed another talent besides screenwriting—directing.

No one expected that this usually shy girl would change her personality completely when working, becoming very decisive and flawless in her directing skills.

"Oh, it's done so quickly?" Ye Fei stood up in surprise and said, "We definitely need to take a look."

Ye Ningsuan also smiled and said, "Yeah, let's all go and see it. It's a good opportunity for Zhao Zhi to give some guidance."

"I wouldn't dare to give guidance. I'll just observe," Zhao Zhi said with a smile. She had read Situ Ying's script and wouldn't underestimate this talented young person.

The four of them walked to the company's screening room and found that most of the staff had already arrived. Xu Weier and her mother were sitting in the front row, looking very excited because this was her first movie and the beginning of her dream. She was finally going to showcase it in front of everyone. How could she not be thrilled?

The four of them sat down next to Mu Ling and her daughter. Situ Ying gave some instructions, and the movie started immediately.

At the beginning, it was a bizarre world with only one person in it—Xu Weier, dressed in a white palace gown, who played the role of the little fairy, Dieyi. Ye Fei suddenly noticed that Xu Weier, in this outfit, seemed much gentler. His heart couldn't help but race a bit, even though he hadn't thought much of her before.

Then, the story slowly unfolded. The little fairy Dieyi, driven by curiosity, accidentally fell into the mortal world during an experiment and experienced a series of events there.

The story was very simple. From the beginning to the middle, it was almost entirely acted by Xu Weier.

The extras were all company employees. But this simple story captivated everyone. Whether it was the enchanting fantasy world or the adorable little fairy, it was something no one who watched it would ever forget.
