Quick Transmigration: The Host is Forced to Love!

119: Chapter 119 The Disabled CEO’s Benefactor 16It wasn’t until Fu Jinghan’s figure disappeared into the office that Manager Wang Fang seemed to relax.

She tilted her head slightly and walked toward Lu Zhan, a warm smile appearing on her face, her eyes full of curiosity as she asked.

”Lu Zhan, are you and President Fu together? Which one of you is the top and which is the bottom?”

Lu Zhan’s face turned red instantly. He gave Manager Wang Fang a reproachful look and said helplessly.

”Manager Wang Fang, it’s been three years. I didn’t expect you to still be so shocking in your speech; your gossiping heart remains exactly the same as before.”

Manager Wang Fang didn’t mind, raised an eyebrow, and continued to tease.

”You don’t understand. Gossip is a woman’s nature. Just satisfy my curiosity and elaborate a bit.”

Lu Zhan remained unmoved, pressed his lips together slightly, and slowly pulled out his phone with his right hand.

Right in front of Manager Wang Fang, he nimbly tapped the screen, opened the contact list interface, then looked up at Manager Wang Fang and said slowly.

”Manager Wang Fang, since you’re so curious, how about I call Brother Han and ask him if he wants me to tell you.”

After speaking, his fingers moved slightly, making a motion to dial.

Manager Wang Fang’s expression turned panicked in an instant, her eyes widening.

She rushed forward in a hurry, grabbed Lu Zhan’s hand, and hurriedly turned off the phone screen with her other hand, saying urgently.

”No need, I was just joking. Let’s go to my place and look at the scripts instead.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhan’s expression was cool, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. He gently shook off Manager Wang Fang’s hand, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and then he turned and walked out.

Looking at Lu Zhan’s behavior, Manager Wang Fang was speechless. She shook her head helplessly and muttered.

”Why, after three years, has Lu Zhan’s temperament not changed in the slightest? He only knows how to scare me with President Fu.”

Complaining was one thing, but Manager Wang Fang still hurried to follow.

As a top-tier manager, Manager Wang Fang held a high position at Xingsheng Entertainment.

Moreover, as a trusted aide to President Fu, her office was located in the same area as the senior executives who had greeted them downstairs earlier.

When Lu Zhan and Manager Wang Fang arrived, they were holding a meeting in the conference room.

When they saw Lu Zhan, they immediately stopped, walked up to him one after another, and greeted him with enthusiasm and a touch of sycophancy.

Vice President Chen had already solemnly and clearly relayed President Fu’s words during the meeting. Having heard that, how could anyone dare to be the least bit negligent? This was the future lady of the house.

Lu Zhan’s expression was cool. He nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then said in a cold yet polite tone.

”Everyone, there’s no need for this. I don’t want this matter to be known to everyone yet. Go back to your work; don’t worry about me.”

Seeing that Lu Zhan’s attitude didn’t seem fake, the crowd promised not to spread rumors and then left.

Lu Zhan then walked into Manager Wang Fang’s office with her.

He was composed, casually found a comfortable spot to sit, leaned back slightly, and stretched his legs out naturally.

Manager Wang Fang hurried to the desk, bent down, took the scripts the company had recently invested in, and placed them gently on the table in front of Lu Zhan.

”Lu Zhan, take a look at these scripts first and see if there are any you’re interested in.”

Manager Wang Fang sat to the side and said with a smile.

Lu Zhan nodded slightly, picked up the script with his slender fingers, and began to flip through it slowly.

His expression was serious and focused, his brows furrowing slightly from time to time, then smoothing out again, his eyes flashing with the light of contemplation.

After a while, Lu Zhan finished looking through the last one, frowned slightly, and said softly.

”Manager Wang Fang, I’m not very satisfied with these scripts. Most of them are either modern idol dramas or historical idol dramas.”

”They lack challenge and originality. Are there any others?”

Manager Wang Fang knew Lu Zhan’s temperament well; she knew that once he made a decision, no one could change his mind.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes. She pursed her lips and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.

”Lu Zhan, the great director, Director Xu, is currently preparing to film a suspense drama.”

”The male lead is our company’s Best Actor Zhou Bin, and the female lead is the rising starlet Tang Ling. Other roles haven’t been decided yet. They say there will be an open casting call in three days. Are you interested?”

As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Lu Zhan, observing his reaction.

A flash of thought quickly crossed Lu Zhan’s eyes. He naturally knew of Director Xu.

He wrote his own scripts and directed them himself, producing only one work every two or three years, and every single one was considered a classic.

A sense of excitement couldn’t help but rise in Lu Zhan’s heart, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

”Manager Wang Fang, Director Xu’s work, and a suspense genre at that—this sounds quite good.”

The corners of Lu Zhan’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Manager Wang Fang smiled, nodded repeatedly, and said with a look of agreement.

”Yes, Lu Zhan. Director Xu’s ability is obvious to all. Being able to participate in his drama will be of great benefit to your future development.”

”If you’re interested, I’ll go to Zhou Bin right now and get the script for you to look at.”

”If there’s a role you’re interested in, while the casting hasn’t been finalized yet, I’ll contact Director Xu in advance and set a time for us to go audition.”

Lu Zhan’s expression was cool, but his eyes flashed with the light of confidence. He tilted his head slightly, and a rebellious smile curled the corners of his mouth.

”Sure, I still have some confidence in myself.”

He looked as if he already had victory in his grasp.

Hearing this, Manager Wang Fang nodded gently and then walked out with hurried steps.

Lu Zhan felt his throat was a bit dry, so he got up and walked to the water dispenser, pouring himself a cup of warm water.

He tilted his head slightly and took a few sips, and the dryness in his throat was immediately relieved.

He then walked back to the sofa, leaned back lazily, and waited for Manager Wang Fang to return.

After a short while, Manager Wang Fang’s hurried figure appeared at the door.

Her brows were slightly furrowed as she walked quickly to Lu Zhan and handed him the document bag she was holding.

”Lu Zhan, Director Xu’s confidentiality work is as excellent as ever. The more detailed script hasn’t been revealed yet, and even Zhou Bin only has this outline.”

After hearing this, Lu Zhan shrugged indifferently, a look of unconcern on his face, thinking to himself that an outline was enough.

He then reached out to take the document bag, opened it elegantly, took out the few thin sheets of paper, and began to read them carefully.

The more Lu Zhan read, the more satisfied he felt. He was truly a renowned great director; even just this outline was already so captivating.

The plot told the story of a gruesome serial murder case.

The victims were all tortured to death in an extremely cruel manner, and next to each corpse, the word ”Judgment” was written in blood.

Later, after a long period of investigation and interviews, it was discovered that the only commonality among these victims was that they had all committed extremely violent acts while they were alive.

At first, everyone took it for granted that it was just one person committing the crimes.

But later, as the investigation deepened, they were shocked to realize that it was an organization called ”Judgment,” which had nine members, each named from one to nine.

And the code name Nine was both a symbol of the ultimate and the leader of this organization.
