Chapter 67: , Venting Anger for the Second Sister!

"What's wrong?"

"Shengnan, do you know Director Kong?"

Chen Huan looked at Zhang Shengnan with a suspicious expression, her heart drumming in secret; could Kong Sanmin have been trying to solicit sexual favors from Shengnan earlier?

It was true that Kong Sanmin was famous, but his reputation as a lecher was also well-known; he had been divorced three times, and although he was currently single, he was never without young, beautiful girls around him, and many of the actresses in his dramas had "read the glowing scripts" with him at night.

Since Zhang Shengnan had excellent physical features, it would be normal for Kong Sanmin to covet her.

"I don't know him. I'm just a small-time actress; I haven't had the opportunity to know Director Kong."

Zhang Shengnan hurriedly shook her head.

Hearing her say this, Chen Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; if things were really as she had guessed, the cooperation would have been truly difficult to handle.

"Aunt Huan, it is like this..." This book is first published on Tian Tian Kan Xiao Shuo, which is super easy to use, ttks. tw, providing you with an error-free and non-disordered reading experience at any time.

Zhang Xian stepped forward and briefly recounted the encounter his second sister, Zhang Shengnan, had experienced.

"There's actually such a thing?"

Chen Huan furrowed her brows: "Shengnan, don't worry, Auntie will definitely help you vent your anger!"

"Uh, thank you, Auntie Huan."

Zhang Shengnan was not being pretentious and thanked her immediately, though she followed Zhang Xian's lead and changed the form of address to "Auntie Huan"; at the very least, she had to call her that in front of her to show respect.

Chen Huan naturally noticed the change in how the siblings addressed her; having always been called Sister Huan, she felt quite unaccustomed to suddenly becoming Auntie Huan.

However, as a woman of high emotional intelligence, Chen Huan immediately guessed why the two had changed their address; this was likely because of Zhang Dongshan.

She had been in contact with Zhang Dongshan several times and could naturally sense that he was interested in her, but Chen Huan had been deeply hurt by a scumbag in her early years and had focused entirely on her career all these years, having no intention of finding a man at all.

However, as she passed the age of 40, her thoughts on not marrying or having children had changed somewhat, and her heart began to soften, especially when she saw small children.

She used to find children annoying, but now she felt they were very cute, so facing Zhang Dongshan's proactive overtures, she didn't resist, thinking it best to let nature take its course.

The three chatted for a while longer, and after washing up and changing into a casual suit, Zhang Dongshan walked out of the room.

Don't look at the fact that he was over fifty; because he had always worked in the music industry and had a relatively good mindset, he looked quite young, giving people the impression that he was in his forties. Now, after careful grooming, he really had a masculine charm, the kind of "uncle" type that young girls would like.

The "family" walked out of the alley and got into the Wenjie M8.

Zhang Xian drove, letting his father and Chen Huan sit in the second row, second sister Zhang Shengnan sat in the passenger seat, and Zhang Zhaodi sat in the third row.

The signing time Chen Huan and Kong Sanmin had agreed upon was 1:30 PM, so the family had a simple lunch; they were all hungry!

After eating, the group went to Kong Sanmin's "Yixin Film and Television"; he was the company's largest shareholder and possessed absolute say, and this company's business was centered around him.

"This must be Old Zhang's son, Xiaoxian!"

"Truly, heroes have emerged from the youth since ancient times! When Little Chen said yesterday that 'Mortal Song' was written by a 22-year-old, I didn't dare believe it!"

Kong Sanmin shook Zhang Xian's hand very enthusiastically; he loved "Mortal Song" too much, and thus appreciated Zhang Xian by extension.

"Director Kong, I've long admired your name; I've watched every one of your dramas."

Zhang Xian also offered a polite remark.

The details of the cooperation had already been discussed by Chen Huan and Zhang Dongshan with Kong Sanmin last night, and today was just to sign the contract.

After the group chatted for a few moments, Kong Sanmin had someone bring over the prepared contract.

"Xiaoxian, Little Chen, take a look at the contract; if there are no problems, just sign it."

Kong Sanmin handed the contract to Zhang Xian and Chen Huan respectively.

In fact, there was nothing to look at in this kind of contract; they were all standard contracts, at most modifying the revenue-sharing ratio after the theme song was launched on music platforms based on the results of their discussion.

But for the sake of caution, Zhang Xian still asked Kong Sanmin for an electronic version of the contract to send to his fourth sister, Zhang Laidi; there was a lawyer in the family, so Zhang Xian didn't need to worry about reviewing contracts himself.

After confirming there were no issues with the contract, both parties signed it.

"Xiaoxian, my new drama is about to start filming. Later, I'll send you a copy of the script; see if you can write a few songs that fit the drama. If you can, I'd like to hand over the entire OST for the drama to you."

It was clear that Kong Sanmin was indeed very satisfied with "Mortal Song," so much so that he was ready to continue cooperating before even waiting for "Golden Years" to launch and see the audience's feedback.

"I'll do my best, but creation is something no one can guarantee."

Zhang Xian couldn't give a definite answer; after all, he was also relying on his "cheat-code father" to get by.

"Director Kong, speaking of your new drama, I have something to tell you."

At this moment, Chen Huan took over the conversation: "Your new drama is called 'Splendid Rivers and Mountains', right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Kong Sanmin looked at Chen Huan with a suspicious expression.

"It's like this, Xiaoxian's second sister, Shengnan."

Chen Huan pointed to Zhang Shengnan, who was standing to the side, and continued: "Previously, Shengnan passed your assistant director's audition, and it was already agreed that they would use her, but then her boyfriend..."

Chen Huan directly recounted Zhang Shengnan's situation.

"There's such a thing??"

Kong Sanmin was greatly shocked and looked at Zhang Shengnan: "What are the names of your boyfriend and that girlfriend?"

"Tian Zhenyu, Han Qiuying."

Zhang Shengnan reported the two people's names.

"I'll handle this matter."

As Kong Sanmin spoke, he took his phone and dialed a number: "Old Wan, there are two people, one named Tian Zhenyu and one named Han Qiuying; did you recruit them to the crew?"

"Director Kong, there are indeed these two people. Do you know them?"

"Fire them immediately! Post an announcement in all those groups of yours: never to cooperate again!"

"Ah? This..."

"What, did you take someone's money?"

"No, how could that be! I'll go handle it right away!"

The person on the other end didn't dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly agreed.

"Let me know once you've finished handling it."

After saying this, Kong Sanmin hung up the phone, then said to Zhang Shengnan with a face full of smiles: "Shengnan, the important roles for *Splendid Mountains and Rivers* have all been set, and the contracts have been signed. If you don't mind, you can play Han Qiuying's role. For the next production, I'll arrange a more prominent role for you."

"I don't mind, thank you Director Kong!"

"I will definitely act well!"

Zhang Shengnan hurriedly nodded in thanks; she truly hadn't expected the other party to handle it so decisively—with a single sentence, that pair of dogs was out of a job, and not only that, they were also blacklisted by Kong Sanmin's Yixin Film and Television!

Although a blacklist from Yixin Film and Television didn't equal a blacklist from the entire entertainment industry, Kong Sanmin's influence in the film and television circle was immense; other peers wouldn't offend him for the sake of two nobodies, so in all likelihood, they wouldn't use them either.

Therefore, at least in the short term, it would be very difficult for the two of them to get any acting roles.

"Director Kong, thank you, I will definitely put my heart into your new production!"

Zhang Xian followed up with his own stance; before coming, he had only wanted Kong Sanmin to kick those two out of the crew, but Kong Sanmin had ended up raising the stakes.

Not only did he kick the people out of the crew, he even issued a "blacklist order"!

This face was given in full!

And Zhang Xian couldn't help but marvel at the social maneuvering of Kong Sanmin and Chen Huan; before coming, Zhang Xian had originally intended to bring up his second sister's matter to Kong Sanmin before signing the contract, but Chen Huan said no, this matter had to be brought up after signing, because bringing it up before signing would carry the implication of a "threat."

If it were brought up after signing, it would be a matter of personal favors, and Kong Sanmin was a typical big-brother type; as long as one spoke to him about this kind of thing, it would certainly be resolved.

The result was just as Chen Huan had predicted: Kong Sanmin resolved the matter on the spot, and his attitude of making the phone call to resolve it right in front of them was selling a favor to Zhang Xian and Chen Huan—a favor both of them had to remember.

It was a very small matter, but Zhang Xian saw his own shortcomings through the two of them; they were worthy of being old foxes in the entertainment industry, and a small newcomer like him was still a hundred thousand eight thousand miles behind!
