After breakfast, Lin Fan arrived at the filming set.
The male lead from yesterday had become completely honest after being warned by him and no longer engaged in any small tricks.
Two scenes were filmed consecutively in the morning, and both went very smoothly.
Mi Mi waved at Lin Fan from a distance, bouncing and jumping with excitement.
The director, being observant, walked over with a bottle of mineral water. "Doctor Lin, amazing! You've won over Mi Mi so quickly. You must put in a good word for me in the future. I'm counting on you!"
Lin Fan waved his hand. "I don't know anything about your line of work, haha."
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Uh, Director, I wanted to ask, could you add a character to this show?"
The director looked troubled. "That you'll have to ask President Qian. After all, he's the investor. You might see me as the director, but in front of the investor, I'm just a nobody!"
He looked up and happened to see President Qian walking over unsteadily, carrying a bottle of wine.
"Add it. Agree to whatever he asks. I'm convinced."
President Qian patted the director's shoulder and left dejectedly.
The director immediately smiled. "Does Doctor Lin also want to have a taste of being an actor? I'll revise the script right away and arrange a role for you!"
Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. "It's not for me, it's for a female classmate of mine. She's also studying acting, but her resources are not good, and she's been playing bit parts all these years."
"No problem, no problem. What kind of role would you like to arrange for her?" the director asked.
Lin Fan scratched his head. "How about this, I'll call her and have her come over. You can communicate directly."
Saying that, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Shanshan's number.
When Lin Shanshan learned that Mi Mi was the female lead, she immediately took a taxi over.
She understood that this was a chance for Lin Fan to help her turn her career around, and she absolutely could not miss it!
Lin Shanshan had dressed up before coming.
A simple floral princess dress, paired with a delicate face.
Although her figure was not as voluptuous as Mi Mi's, her proportions were excellent.
Especially her appearance; standing next to Mi Mi, she was not much inferior.
The two women had their own unique charm!
Lin Shanshan was passionate, with lively eyes and a hint of arrogance.
Mi Mi was pure, always giving off a goddess vibe.
"Xiao Fan, Director, hello."
Lin Shanshan was a little nervous, twisting the hem of her clothes, looking very cute.
Mi Mi was displeased. "Director, what do you mean by this?"
The director was caught in a dilemma and looked at Lin Fan with a wry smile.
Lin Fan stepped forward and said, "Uh, Shanshan is my high school classmate, and she's also studying acting. I spoke to the director, and he agreed to add a role for her in this show to try out."
Mi Mi felt very uncomfortable but didn't say anything.
Lin Fan gave an awkward smile. "I hope you'll support each other in the future and avoid any petty conflicts. Thank you."
"Hmph."
Mi Mi let out a delicate snort and looked Lin Shanshan up and down.
Although she had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, she had rarely seen actresses as beautiful as Lin Shanshan.
"What if I don't agree?"
Mi Mi asked tentatively.
Lin Fan whispered into her ear, a threat in his voice, "Then don't come looking for me anymore."
Mi Mi stuck out her tongue. "You're so mean, always bullying me!"
She turned to the director. "It just so happens that I have some ideas about this script. I don't think it's good for the ending to be a dream. Audiences are tired of that. If we arrange for a major villain to be involved, and all this was a setup by this villain, the effect might be even better."
The three of them sat down and began to discuss the script.
It was finally decided that Lin Shanshan would play this major villain.
She was the female lead's sister, and out of greed for the family fortune, she committed a series of bad deeds.
Although not a good character, the villain had a lot of screen time and was very important.
Because she would play the role of the second female lead in the early stages, accompanying the female lead and others on their adventures, she would only turn villainous later.
"Xiao Fan, thank you! Sister Mi Mi, thank you!"
Lin Shanshan was so grateful she was in tears, and she was overjoyed!
After years of playing bit parts without gaining fame, she had finally landed a supporting role with a seven-figure salary!
She was now incredibly glad that her decision to pursue Lin Fan at the reunion was absolutely correct!
Filming resumed as usual in the afternoon. Lin Fan, finding it boring, returned to his clinic.
President Qian, thoroughly drunk, was clamoring to cut off the three thousand strands of worldly worries on his head and go to the Mountain God Temple to meditate with Xu Zixin.
The driver, with no other choice, put him in the car and quickly drove away from Luofeng Village.
This place was truly unnerving!
As the sun began to set, another guest arrived at Luofeng Village.
Toot toot toot...
A tractor was pulling a cart full of dry hay down a rural dirt road.
Sitting atop the tall pile of dry grass was an old man with an immortal demeanor.
His hair and beard were all white, his long beard almost reaching his chest.
He wore a white Tang suit, looking like a rich man no matter how you looked at him, yet he was being jolted up and down by the tractor, his beard flying.
"Old man, this is Xiao Fan's clinic. Please be careful when you get down."
The tractor stopped in front of Xiao Fan's clinic, and the driver carefully helped the old man down.
"My back!"
After his feet touched the ground, the old man clutched his lower back with one hand, his face contorted in pain.
He glanced back at the pitted rural dirt road. "When I get back, I'll find someone to do some construction work and fix this broken road."
"That would be great. I was just wondering where to find a wealthy person to help out."
Lin Fan walked out with a smile. "Old Liu, you look at least ten years younger after a few days."
He invited Liu Qinghui into the courtyard, and they sat by a square table, making a pot of tea.
"This small village can't compare to your mansion, and we don't have good tea. Please make do with it."
Liu Qinghui waved his hand. "I've endured all sorts of hardships when I was a soldier fighting wars. I think this tea tastes delicious!"
Lin Fan took a sip of tea and looked at Liu Qinghui's face.
Superficially, he did look a few years younger.
His body seemed a bit stronger than when Lin Fan had last seen him.
However, a dark aura lingered between his brows, more severe than before.
"Xiao Fan, you haven't come to see me these past few days. I have no other choice but to come to you."
Liu Qinghui recounted his recent condition.
Being attended to by different beautiful women every day had made his life colorful.
However, the illness within him remained a constant threat, pricking at his heart like a needle.
Just last night, this hidden ailment had flared up.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his bones chilled to the marrow!
"This condition lasted for an hour, and then I felt like I had fallen into a furnace, my whole body burning."
Liu Qinghui was terrified, fearing for his life, so he had come early in the morning.
He didn't want his identity or his hidden illness to be known, so he disguised himself as an ordinary person and hitched a ride on a tractor carrying dry hay.
