Si Ming couldn’t help but defend himself. “If my parents hadn’t forced me to marry you, do you think you could have married me?! You were the one who didn’t hesitate to throw yourself at me and insisted on marrying me. I just didn’t want my parents to be sad, so 1 agreed to not have any relationship with Qin Zhen and finally married you!”

Si Cheng didn’t want to listen anymore and interrupted, “Stop arguing. Things have already come to this. Let’s think of a way to resolve the company’s image first.”

With that, Si Cheng turned around and returned to his room.

Si Cheng was caught off guard by the betrayal of his good friend, his father’s affair, and the fact that his illegitimate siblings had already entered the company. However, it also made him realize that his position as the heir was not as stable as he had imagined.

Currently, he seemed to be alone. Si Qin was in charge of the administrative department while Si Lin was in charge of the finance department. Both of them were in departments with real power. Although his father said that they would not be a threat to him, how could he allow others to sleep soundly on his bed?

What’s more, as long as the siblings had power, he did not know when his position as the CEO could change. Therefore, the most important thing now was not only to stabilize the stock price, but also to think of ways to obtain more support, strengthen his position, and chase them out of the company.

Si Cheng could tell the situation he was in. Li Mei also began to guide Tan Ming at home and think about their motive for doing this. “Can you see the purpose of your father and brother’s move now?”

Tan Ming tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, “He wants Si Cheng to be exhausted from running around and be unable to take care of himself. In order to ensure that he won’t be kicked off, the simplest solution is through a business marriage! This way, he has to divorce me first.”

When Li Mei heard Tan Ming’s a.n.a.lysis, her eyes lit up and she raised her thumb. “My daughter is smart! Si Cheng should be coming to discuss the procedures with you soon.”

Tan Ming was also very happy when she heard this news. “After waiting for so long, we can finally settle this!”

Now that things had developed, all that was left was to wait.

Tan Ming worked step by step. During this period, she even accepted two advertis.e.m.e.nts that Andrew had recommended her for. Although they were not luxury goods, the advertis.e.m.e.nts for the fast-selling products were more down-to-earth and had a wide audience. It was beneficial for Tan Ming’s popularity to expand in the early stages. It was also good for her to show her face on television.

Every month, her master would come to Sea City from Jingdu City for four to five days to teach her lessons, so Tan Ming’s life was fulfilling and blissful.

During the days when she did not join the production team, she did not have to go to work on the weekends. Every morning, Tan Ming would go to the surrounding park to jog and train her physical fitness. However, there was an additional person there today.

Ever since Si Cheng was busy dealing with his illegitimate siblings, the people who had their eyes on Jiang Huai had left. Coincidentally, he had not been filming for the past few days, so he simply returned to Sea City to visit his parents and sister and play with his little nephew and niece.

The two of them set off a little late today. It was almost 9:30am by the time they finished running. The siblings panted heavily and took deep breaths. After catching their breath, they found a stone bench to sit on and planned to rest before going home.

“Sigh, I’ve talked to more than ten investors. I’m already in despair.”

“We’ll persevere. I believe that there will definitely be investors who are willing to not use mainstream celebrities!”

“An Xin, this script is actually very good. If it weren’t for the fact that I have to be the male lead, I believe you will be able to get an investment soon. 1 don’t want to hold you back. Don’t mention me in the future. It’s pretty good for me to be in a supporting role. Gold will always end up shining.”

“Feng Bin, the two of us wrote this script together. It’s tailor-made for you! If it weren’t for you acting as the male lead, I wouldn’t have directed this. I couldn’t get an investment. At most, I’ll go back and be an a.s.sistant director. We can save money together.”

“What a.s.sistant director! You had all the ideas, picked the big shots, but they took all the fame! You don’t have to care about me. If there’s a chance to get an investment, you can film first! We can’t both waste our time in this pit. At least one of us would have gotten out.”

Jiang Huai and Tan Ming had no intention of eavesdropping. However, the soundproofing of the green belt was not good, and the other party’s voice became more and more agitated as he spoke. The two of them heard it all.

Tan Ming felt a little awkward and was about to pull Jiang Huai to another place when Jiang Huai suddenly had a new idea. He discussed it with Tan Ming in a low voice.. After confirming it, he stood up and shouted to the other side of the green belt, “h.e.l.lo, are you looking for investments to film a television drama now?”
