Chapter 48 – I Want to Film (Part One)

After finally squeezing onto the bus during the crowded morning rush hour, Ye Yunxi took a deep breath and pushed her way to the back, finding a spot to stand firmly.

Huh? The two people in the front seats looked like Dad and his assistant.

Ye Yunxi leaned forward slightly—it was indeed her father.

What were they talking about?

She instinctively leaned closer.

“Director Ye, what should we do? It’s so hard to get the Money back.”

Zhang Yu had been working as Ye Junpo’s assistant for three years. Even when salaries couldn’t be paid, he never left because he genuinely loved this industry.

But the current situation looked grim—it seemed Director Ye had been sabotaged.

“Those people are despicable! The movie hasn’t even started filming—why can’t they refund the Money?”

Zhang Yu’s eyes reddened. After struggling all this time to finally have everything ready—funds secured—yet the movie still couldn’t be made!

It was infuriating.

“It’s alright, I’ll think of something.”

Ye Junpo actually comforted Zhang Yu instead, but Ye Yunxi knew there were no solutions left.

Just as she suspected—her father had been set up, so recovering the Money was impossible.

“Every time I think about it, I get so angry! I really want to beat them up!”

Zhang Yu gnashed his teeth while Ye Junpo could only pat his shoulder.

“My stop’s here. Don’t do anything rash—I’ll figure something out!”

Waving goodbye, Ye Junpo squeezed off the bus. Seeing the seat beside Zhang Yu empty, Ye Yunxi moved over and sat down.

“Brother Zhang!”

Still troubled by the situation, Zhang Yu looked up to see Ye Yunxi sitting beside him.

“Huh? Miss… Miss Ye?”

He had some impression of Ye Junpo’s two children, but hadn’t this younger daughter changed quite a bit over the years?

“Dad just called me. He asked you to give me the List of people refusing to return the Money.”

Ye Yunxi curled her lips slightly.

“Ah?”

Give it to you?

“But Director Ye already knows…”

“My dad wants to keep a record.”

“I see.”

Zhang Yu didn’t overthink it, pulling out a printed paper detailing where the Money had been spent, along with addresses and contact information.

“Here, keep it safe—don’t lose it!”

“Mm, don’t worry!”

Ye Yunxi smiled sweetly, her face glowing with such vitality that Zhang Yu momentarily stared in daze.

Had Miss Ye always been this pretty??

Truly, a girl changes dramatically as she grows up!

“By the way, why can’t the movie be filmed anymore?”

“We had the Script finalized, which is why your father started preparations. When the funds finally came through and everything was ready, the scriptwriter disappeared.”

“Disappeared?”

“Yeah!” Zhang Yu gritted his teeth. “Someone definitely sabotaged us! With no script, all the booked artists started making excuses not to come. No script, no actors—there’s just no way to film under these conditions!”

Zhang Yu vented his frustrations.

So that’s what happened.

Ye Yunxi frowned.

[Ding! Task triggered: Movie Launch. Help Ye Junpo overcome obstacles to start filming. Reward: Prestige +10,000, Stamina +10!]

The 10,000 Prestige wasn’t particularly valuable—she could earn that quickly—but this Stamina…

Ye Yunxi narrowed her eyes. After three days of training, her Stamina was still only at 1, only rising to 2 when she was full!

Getting 10 points at once would be quite useful!

“Ah, I’ve reached my school. Bye, Brother Zhang!”

“Okay, take care!”

Ye Yunxi waved and hopped off the bus.The problem lies with the script and the actors, so as long as these two are handled properly, it’ll be fine.

Ye Yunxi curled the corner of her lips, her smile unrestrained.
