After signing the contract, Lianyi was told to join the crew within a week. In order to coordinate the schedules of the male and female lead, the early stage would focus on filming the two of them. As an important female supporting role, Lianyi was naturally the first to join the crew.

After Lianyi hung up the phone, she started packing her luggage. This time she was going to the Ruan family's territory, and she didn't want to make herself too tired, so she contacted Anli and Anwen. After making sure that Liu Ziying had not taken a new job, she invited both of them at once to be responsible for the trivial matters and safety during her filming.

Of course, before hiring the two, Lianyi also briefly explained her situation and circumstances. As for whether the two were willing, it was up to them to decide.

An Li and An Wen obviously prefer challenging work. After listening to Lian Yi's story, they readily agreed. After all, the price Lian Yi offered was twice that of her peers, so they had no reason to refuse. Moreover, they also believed in Lian Yi's character. After packing their luggage, they rushed to Lian Yi's residence to meet up the next day.

The three of them got on the car arranged by the crew and officially joined the group. Three days later, almost all the actors had arrived. After meeting, they began to read the script. Everyone talked about their understanding of the role, conducted horizontal communication, and then tried to figure out the role again according to the director's requirements.

The official shooting started two days later. On the day of shooting, there were scenes for Ripples. The location was the real estate branch of the Ruan Group. The whole building was the shooting location of the crew. The company's employees automatically acted as passers-by and background boards. They only needed to focus on their own work.

Lianyi met the man who appeared in the first audition here. He was currently communicating with the director team. Lianyi had already put on her makeup, as she and the male lead would have a scene today.

The male protagonist Yuan Lihui is the nephew of Yuan Minsi, played by Lian Yi. He is the heir who is being focused on by the Yuan family. Yuan Lihui himself is also very hardworking and has received the best education. He majored in economics when he studied abroad and was ready to take over the Yuan family after returning.

But he was still young after all, and he wanted to carry out reforms after entering the company. His series of actions touched the interests of the old-school people, and undercurrents began to surge in the company, and disagreements arose.

As her aunt, Yuan Minsi opposed her nephew's radical reforms. Although she agreed with Yuan Lihui's plan for the company's future development, she did not agree with the methods he used.

This scene is about Yuan Minsi inviting his nephew to his office, expressing his views and hoping that Li Hui would not be too radical.

This scene was filmed in the office of a vice president of the Ruan Group. After the scene was set up, Lianyi looked around, familiarized herself with the environment, and told the director that she was ready.

At the director's signal, the clapper board player clashed in front of the camera lens and then started shooting.

Lianyi was looking through the documents in her hand at this time, frowning slightly. After signing the document, she raised her right hand to look at the watch on her wrist, and then closed the document.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door. Before Lianyi could speak, the door was opened. Yuan Lihui, wearing a neat gray suit, walked towards Lianyi with a smile on his face.

"Aunt, are you looking for me?"

Lian Yi's expression remained unchanged, and she just corrected him:

"Call me Vice President Yuan in the company."

"Yes, Vice President Yuan, may I ask what you want from me?"

Although Yuan Lihui called him the vice president, his attitude was still very casual. He pulled out the chair opposite Lianyi's desk and sat down with a smile.

Lian Yi shook her head helplessly, then clicked on the internal phone and said:

"Linda, bring in two cups of coffee, one instant and one pour-over black coffee."

When Yuan Lihui heard what his aunt said, his mouth twitched and he said:
"Vice President Gu Yuan, I don't want to drink instant coffee."

Lian Yi leaned back in his chair and said calmly:
"Black coffee is for you."

"Auntie, you know I hate black coffee the most."

Yuan Lihui's face was wrinkled.

"Didn't you rely on black coffee to survive when you were studying abroad? How could you not like it?"

Ripple asked with raised eyebrows.

"I was forced to do that. There was a second choice. Why would I drink something so bitter and poisonous?"

Yuan Lihui wailed. "Yeah, when given a choice, you tend to choose what you like and can accept, and the same goes for those old guys."

Lianyi changed the subject and turned to the main topic of this meeting.

Yuan Lihui straightened his face, put away his previous casualness, sat up straight, and lowered his eyes to consider what Lianyi said.

At this time, Linda knocked on the door and came in, placed two cups of coffee in front of the two of them, and then quietly retreated.

Lianyi took a sip of the instant coffee in front of her and said to herself:

"I also like hand-brewed coffee, but it's too troublesome. I like this three-in-one instant coffee, which has milk and sugar. It meets my need for refreshment and suits my taste. It's also very easy to brew, and only requires hot water.

You like hand-brewed coffee, but if you want to brew coffee that suits your taste, the coffee beans, water temperature, and brewing method are very particular. The procedures and steps are very important, and you also need patience. Do you think you can do it now?"

Yuan Lihui was very sure that his aunt was not just talking about coffee, but was implicitly referring to the reforms he was carrying out in the marketing department.

He thought for a moment and said:
“Hand-brewed coffee is time-consuming, so I try to use new techniques to improve efficiency, so that my aunt can also drink hand-brewed coffee in the future while meeting her own requirements.”

Lian Yi nodded after hearing this and said:

"I support your attempt. After all, success is not achieved overnight. It requires a process and repeated attempts. However, there are also some requirements for how to preserve the coffee beans imported from South Africa after they arrive in China. Otherwise, the taste of the coffee beans will be easily affected. You need to know how to adapt to local conditions."

"What does Auntie mean?"

Yuan Lihui wanted to hear his aunt's opinion.

"Slow down and you'll be fine. Don't be too radical. If you create too many conflicts at the same time, it will be hard for you to handle them. After all, two fists can't beat four hands."

Lianyi pointed out.

"Aunt, I understand. I will make some adjustments to the work of the marketing department. I will appease those old guys first."

"Just say this in front of me, don't say it in front of them. You should respect your predecessors. They have made great contributions to the development of Yuanshi.

Although their ideas are not keeping up with the development of the times, you can’t say that their opinions are necessarily wrong.”

"I see!"

"I am old too. When you take the helm, I will become the old guy you call me!"

Ripple said with a smile.

But Yuan Lihui felt a chill down his spine for no reason, and immediately said flatteringly:
"Aunt, what are you talking about? You are always so young and beautiful."

"Card!"

After the director called for a stop, Lianyi and the male lead opposite her stopped speaking and turned to look at the director, indicating that something was wrong.

Director Tang said with a smile:

"This performance is good, the expressions are full and the emotions are on point. Let's take one more take to protect it. Remember the emotions just now and just continue acting accordingly."

After Director Tang finished speaking, he immediately began to adjust the camera position, while the makeup artist stepped forward to touch up Lian Yi and the male lead's makeup. (End of this chapter)
