Translation: Speaking of that, Jiang Heng suddenly recalled that it seems Sammo Hung collaborated with Li Lianjie on a western—"Huang Feihong: The Lion of the West Region".

"Ah, don't say...!" Da Tian Tian quickly reached out to cover Jiang Heng's mouth.

Translation: Recently she happened upon a domineering CEO novel; Da Tian Tian read it obsessively, but after putting it down and thinking of her and Jiang Heng, she inevitably felt a bit shy, because the novel's CEO pales in comparison to Jiang Heng.

"Okay, then I want to reincarnate as a spider!"

Translation: "Fine, then I want to reincarnate as a spider!"

……

Translation: "……" (ellipsis). We need to keep as is? Probably just "……".

She made up her face as it was when they first met, fearing Bajie wouldn't recognize her, but now Bajie simply doesn't dare to acknowledge her. He's seen the fate of the Bull Demon King—family ruined, wife and children scattered. He knows that if he ever acknowledges Zhuzhu'er, his family will meet the same fate as the Bull Demon King's.

Translation: She applied the makeup from when they first met, fearing Zhu Bajie wouldn't recognize her, but the current Zhu Bajie simply dare not acknowledge her.

Thus line: She applied the makeup from when they first met, fearing Bajie wouldn't recognize her, but the current Bajie simply dare not acknowledge her. He has seen the fate of the Bull Demon King—family ruined, wife and children scattered. He knows that once he acknowledges Zizhu'er, his family will surely meet the same end as the Bull Demon King's family....

The nickname Bajie should be used, as it is a habitual nickname. The title translates to Marshal Tianpeng.

Translation: After the story ended, Da Tian Tian was tearful, "Too moving, Zizhu'er and Bajie are so pitiful, big brother, why do you have to tell such a sad story, waa waa!"

Translation: "Then, let Yingbao play Zizhu'er, okay?"

Jiang Heng blinked, "How did you think of her?"

Translation: Jiang Heng blinked, "How did you think of her?"

"She's my sister, besides, she sometimes looks shy; playing the little maid who admires Marshal Tianpeng would definitely be fitting!"

Translation: "She's my sister, besides, she sometimes looks shy and timid, playing a little maid who admires Marshal Tianpeng would definitely be fitting!"

Translation: Jiang Heng laughed and cried, thinking to himself, "Are you praising her, or praising her!" But anyway, Zhao Liying's shy and timid appearance is really endearing.

After recalling Yingbao's several classic images in his mind, Jiang Heng suddenly thought of the classic domineering CEO drama Shanshan Comes to Eat, which definitely needs to be made! The next day, Jiang Heng went to the company, ordered someone to summon Li Xiaoping, and asked whether her company had purchased the rights to a novel titled Shanshan Comes to Eat.

Translation: After recalling Yingbao's several classic images in his mind, Jiang Heng suddenly thought of the classic domineering CEO drama "Shanshan Lai Chi", it's necessary to produce it!

Li Xiaoping certainly didn't remember this; she hurriedly had someone check, and the copyright department quickly replied that they had bought it.

Translation: Li Xiaoping certainly didn't remember this, she hurriedly had someone check; the copyright department quickly replied that they had indeed purchased it.

Translation: After all, Jiang Heng had earlier instructed them to buy more film and television adaptation rights for online novels, especially female-oriented ones, which are easier to adapt than male-oriented ones.

Translation: Besides, the company's budget is ample, copyright fees aren't high, and over the years they've actually stockpiled a large amount.

Jiang Heng said directly, "Adapt this book into a TV drama, cast Zhao Liying as the female lead, and the male lead—well, you can pick that yourself!"

Jiang Heng also didn't bother much, thinking it was probably not Zhang Han, and they were not people who love Faction: Outstanding Rising Film Company.

Li Xiaoping went as called, feeling moved inside, Director Jiang, what inspiration did he receive again? How did he suddenly give Zhao Liying an extra TV series? However, what could make him personally instruct, it seems this novel has some highlights! At the same time as ordering someone to contact Zhao Liying, she also got the manuscript of the novel.

The novel 'Shanshan Comes to Eat' had already started serialization on the website in 2007, and only began publication in September 2011.

So what the company has now is merely the printed manuscript, not a physical publication.
