“Fan Qing! Fan Qing!”
Before Second Young Master Jin even arrived, his voice had already come.
Fan Qing didn’t even need to look up.
He felt a sudden gust of wind blow in at the door.
Could it be said… Second Young Master was truly a whirlwind of a man?
Fan Qing: “What?”
“You even ask what? The company is making a film? Why didn’t you tell me!”
Jin Yi barreled in, almost losing control of his momentum.
Luckily, a hand appeared in time from behind to grab his collar.
Caught by his collar at the back of the neck, Jin Yi barely stopped.
“Second Young Master, be careful,” the head bodyguard muttered.
Jin Yi waved him off.
“Isn’t it fine with you here?”
What’s there to fear?
And!
That wasn’t the main point!
Jin Yi’s eyes went wide, staring at Fan Qing.
Tsk, he still preferred Second Young Master to be that unpredictable, whirlwind type outside.
Fan Qing let out a small sigh, then nodded.
“Yeah, that’s true. What’s up?”
Could Second Young Master have an objection?
Fan Qing couldn’t help but study Jin Yi’s expression.
The next second, he saw a flash of excitement cross Jin Yi’s face.
Fan Qing: ?
Something’s off, right?
It’s just a company making a film—why is he excited?
Damn! The company is really making a film?
Seeing Fan Qing nod, Jin Yi immediately got pumped.
He leaned in slightly and whispered excitedly,
“I heard you want Lao Nie as the male lead?”
“While that’s indeed the case, I’m more curious—where did you hear that?”
He didn’t remember leaking anything…
Fan Qing frowned.
“Hehe, didn’t I just go chat with Lao Nie today?”
Jin Yi waved his hand dismissively.
“That’s not important!”
Fan Qing: ?
Then what is important?
Jin Yi’s face was all bright and excited. He tried to lower his voice, though it didn’t really lower at all.
“Here’s the thing—I heard you decided to personally invest?”
What exactly was Second Young Master trying to say?
Fan Qing raised an eyebrow. “Uh-huh, that’s right. What about it?”
“What about it?”
Fan Qing actually asked what about it?
Jin Yi’s grin stretched impossibly wide.
“You actually ask what about it?”
He couldn’t help but chuckle.
“And, you two are really going all out, huh? Tell me honestly—did you originally want to collaborate with me for this day?”
Fearing Fan Qing might not get it, he added quickly:
“You know… the… ‘behind-the-scenes’ stuff?”
In an instant, Fan Qing’s expression turned subtle.
Not because of anything else, but…
Why did Jin Yi’s thought process line up exactly with the script Nie Luo held?
You guys…
Forget it.
Fan Qing dismissed the fleeting thought.
He gave a small smile.
“So what if it did?”
…Damn, lost.
Seeing Fan Qing’s utterly unflinching expression, Jin Yi quietly tutted.
Damn it—Fan Qing still had the thickest skin.
“Hmph hmph.”
Jin Yi felt a bit resentful, but suddenly got energized again.
“So, when’s the filming? Can I come to the set and watch?”
There was no way he’d let this pass!
If he personally went to the set, he was sure he could catch Fan Qing ‘behind the scenes’ with Lao Nie!
He absolutely wouldn’t lose out!
This was a show he couldn’t miss!
“Filming?”
Fan Qing glanced at him. “About six months from now.”
Jin Yi froze.
His expression cracked.
“Si… six months?”
“What, otherwise? Second Young Master, do you think setting up a whole crew and preparing a movie takes no time?”
Fan Qing retorted.
Don’t think he couldn’t tell—Jin Yi’s face just now clearly showed he was thinking something improper.
How did Fan Qing notice? Don’t ask. The answer is obvious: Jin Yi’s expression was too blatant.
“That’s still too long! Can’t it be a month? Six months is way too long!”
Jin Yi muttered. After six months, would he even remember to go?
Fan Qing shrugged.
“Can’t be helped. Right now, we only have the screenwriter and male lead. Even if I wanted to go faster, I can’t find enough people in one month.”
He wasn’t lying—just stating facts.
Tenghuang hadn’t accomplished much in this area before; finding suitable personnel overnight? Impossible.
“No, I’ll figure it out! Six months is way too long!”
He absolutely wouldn’t wait half a year!
With that, Jin Yi spun on his heel and ran off.
An hour later.
Jin Si lifted his head from behind Tang Sheng, his tone lazy with a hint of annoyance.
“What’s he here for?”
Coming to disturb his private time with Ah Sheng?
This annoying little brother really should just be tossed aside, right?
Tang Sheng exhaled in relief.
He shook the person off himself and signaled the assistant at the door.
“Please let Second Young Master in.”
Jin Si protested.
“Why let him in?”
Tang Sheng slowly turned, his eyes full of disdain.
Why? Hope some perverts could be a little self-aware, okay?
Jin Si met his gaze.
…Tch, fine.
“Then let Second Young Master in.”
Jin Yi stormed in, all wind and fire.
The moment he entered, he couldn’t help but start loudly babbling.
“Bro, why did you stop me at the door? Am I not your favorite little brother? Why do I have to report before entering your office?”
Jin Si, who had been ripped off and bored out of his mind, replied.
“Why? Because I don’t want you to suddenly barge in and see things you shouldn’t while I’m… occupied with Ah Sheng.”
Jin Yi froze.
…Damn!
When it comes to being a pervert and thick-skinned, his brother wins, no contest.
Jin Yi sent a sympathetic glance toward Sheng Ge.
“Brother, thank you for descending from the heavens to deal with this pervert! By the way… how did you even pick this one?”
Tang Sheng slowly closed his eyes.
He felt there were things he could choose to completely ignore.
After a few whiny complaints, Jin Yi finally excitedly spoke again.
“Bro, you have money on hand lately? I want to buy a company—one that can prepare to shoot a movie in a month!”
Exactly!
Of course, when Jin Yi said he’d “figure something out,” he meant having his brother do it. Who else in the world could be more useful than his brother? Absolutely no one!
Jin Yi’s face was full of expectation.
Jin Yi’s entire being radiated expectation.
Three minutes later, the assistant looked at him apologetically.
“Second Young Master, I’m sorry. I still have work to handle, so I can only see you this far.”
She kept her sweet smile and added,
“Also, Mr. Jin hopes that you won’t appear at the company for the next six months. What do you think?”
What do you think? Humph! His goal was achieved anyway, and the next six months were full of things to play with!
Jin Yi happily turned to leave.
Yay~
Yay~
Filming a movie~
Getting up close to the gossip with Lao Nie and Fan Qing, ehehe~
Here I come~
The assistant watched him walk away, her smile slowly splitting.
She gave a slightly admiring look at that familiar figure.
Back at her seat, she couldn’t help but comment to a colleague,
“Honestly, sometimes I realize that where you’re born really does set such different starting points.”
Her colleague looked puzzled but replied,
“That’s true. Like us compared to Second Young Master—he was born with no worries and gets a million each month, while we… have a million-dollar mortgage on our backs.”
The assistant smiled faintly, though what she was really thinking was:
No, she meant Second Young Master’s face—his audacity is really something.
“People? Company? What people and what co—”
Fan Qing’s fingers froze on his phone.
Because he saw Jin Yi storm into the office.
Not only that, but Jin Yi wore that proud, gleeful expression…
Fan Qing felt he understood.
He slowly put down his phone.
“…You asked Big Brother for people and a company?”
Jin Yi chuckled mischievously.
“Let’s just say—think one month until filming starts, can we make it?”
He couldn’t help but gloat a little.
“Hehehe, you should thank me! Without me, it’d be six months before you could do… you know, with Lao Nie. Now it only takes a month! Just one month!”
Tsk, how can someone be this selfless in the world?
Jin Yi couldn’t help but praise himself.
He really is the perfect little helper!
Fan Qing kept a neutral expression.
Then his expression cracked.
Fan Qing’s face twisted in a rare moment of rage.
“Do you even know how much work Tenghuang has? And now you want Big Brother to buy a company and dump it into my hands? Pat, pat, pat… just taking over a company alone takes a month!”
“Eh eh eh! A gentleman uses words, not hands!”
Startled, Jin Yi bolted.
Fan Qing, rarely this angry, chased him around the office in chaos.
He wanted to shoot the movie, yes, but he also wanted it easy, with time to visit the set and prepare a private resting room for Lao Nie… and do certain things there.
Not to juggle an entire company on top of everything else!
Yet no matter how mad Fan Qing got…
It was already done.
Jin Si, to get rid of Jin Yi, bought the company decisively.
With things set like this, what else could be done?
Fan Qing gritted his teeth and worked extra half a month.
During that time, the wind-like free spirit Second Young Master was forced to work overtime alongside him.
What surprised Fan Qing a bit was that Jin Yi actually showed some talent here!
Though still clueless about managing a company, he showed some vision for company growth.
A few of his ideas were even pretty decent.
Fan Qing immediately shared this “friendly” news with Jin Si.
Jin Si’s thoughts aligned surprisingly well with his—Fan Qing handles the movie, the company side? Let Jin Yi feel his way across the river.
Unaware of the storm ahead, Second Young Master had recently become obsessed with another task:
Casting actors.
Yes.
Thanks to him, the company had already entered the casting phase.
Thanks to Fan Qing’s overtime efforts, the pre-production work for the movie was completely done!
The male lead was already decided—Lao Nie.
But the rest?
Fan Qing gave Jin Yi the freedom to pick suitable actors within the company.
If none were suitable, then look externally.
After all, the initial purpose of making this movie was to nurture the company’s actors.
Jin Yi was thrilled.
Casting actors? He could do that!
So much fun!
He nearly burst with excitement and launched a full-scale casting campaign.
Then…
Because it was so overwhelming, somehow the story leaked outside and got distorted.
Within two days, a new rumor quietly climbed the trending topics:
#Tenghuang Jin Second Young Master Behind-the-Scenes Casting#
The moment Fan Qing saw the news, he couldn’t help it.
He sent it to Jin Si.
Jin Si quickly replied with a string of ellipses.
After a moment, Jin Si slowly responded,
“Forget what we talked about earlier. Focus more on the company side, okay?”
