Marriage as a Game

Chapter 93 Are you sure that person is in Bai Ye tonight?
The preparation meeting for the new play was held in the conference room of the Arts and Culture Group.

Due to weather reasons, Yao Ran's flight was delayed, and when they arrived, the meeting had already begun.

The script being prepared this time is the fantasy novel "Fei Yuntian" which Yao Ran completed half a year ago.

After she came in, she sat quietly in the last row.

The copyright of the novel has been fully represented by the Arts and Culture Group, which is preparing to film it into a long-form TV series. The screenwriters are also two well-known veterans in the industry who have won numerous awards.

In previous short dramas, Yao Ran didn’t need to appear at all. The reason he appeared this time was because this fantasy novel attracted too much attention.

In the past month, discussions have begun on the Internet. Many netizens said that if an excellent novel like this is not filmed in the style of the original, they will abandon the show and no longer believe in the domestic film and television adaptation market.

Such remarks are common at all times, but this time they are particularly serious.

Half a month ago, three waves of netizens visited the Art and Culture Group, hoping that the author of the novel could follow up with the filming.

This kind of thing rarely happens.

Therefore, this preparatory conference is given great importance.

Investors, director teams, and senior executives of the arts and culture group all attended the meeting and went through every level of scrutiny from casting to script requirements.

Another difficulty is the investment issue.

Yao Ran didn't quite understand these issues, but when it came to the script, she was willing to cooperate.

However, this time she also requested that the copyright fee be increased by one point.

She needs the money so much!
The meeting lasted the entire afternoon and ended in the evening.

Yuan Hua, the old director of the Arts and Culture Company, suggested inviting Yao Ran to dinner, saying that an investor had just returned and might be able to attract a big sponsor.

"Then this TV series will be able to be promoted directly to S-grade!"

Yao Ran has been running back and forth these days and really has no energy left. Besides, what does attracting investment have to do with her?

She politely declined.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan. I haven't seen my family for a long time. I missed them so much that I had to go back for dinner anyway."

Watching Yao Ran leave, Yuan Hua put away the smile on his face.

The assistant said indignantly, "What's so great about that? You dare to refute Mr. Yuan's face!"

Yuan Hua averted his gaze and straightened the collar of his shirt.

"What can't be refuted? Now we rely on her writing to make a living, she will not be afraid of anything." Then he asked: "Are you sure that person is in Bai Ye tonight?"

The assistant immediately straightened up and said, "Sure! The first thing he did when he came back was to hang out with his friends. This has never changed over the years."

Yuan Hua nodded, and looked in the direction where Yao Ran left with regret.

"It would definitely be the icing on the cake if I could go!"

The young assistant naturally knew what the boss meant. Although opposite sexes repelled each other, she had to admit that the girl named Yao Ran was indeed pretty.

She had just spoken at the meeting, and even though the investment CEOs clearly disagreed with her opinion at the beginning, they didn't raise any objections. Moreover, their eyes were full of gold!
After coming out of the Arts and Culture Group, Yao Ran was just about to take a taxi home when a Volkswagen sedan stopped in front of her.

The car window was rolled down, revealing Yao Dimai's tanned face.

"From a distance it looked like you. It really is you! When did you come back?"

Yao Ran opened the passenger door and got in.

While fastening his seat belt, he looked at Yao Dimai and then smiled naively.

"Can we pretend to be more like him?"

"Haha! You figured it out? Let's go! The old lady has already made eight calls!"

We rarely saw each other in recent years, and my grandmother talked about her a lot.

Yao Ran pursed his lips and said nothing more.

The Volkswagen drove slowly, soon turned into the main road and headed northeast.

"How long will you stay this time?" Yao Dimai asked.

"It depends on the progress of the TV series shooting." Yao Ran was not sure either.

It takes at least half a year to shoot a TV series.

The two chatted about some irrelevant topics and soon entered the second phase of Meiyu Hua Ting.

This residential complex was completed three years ago, and the community environment is very good. The current average price is over 60,000 yuan. Zheng Juanjuan often shows off her good taste in choosing residential complexes.

The car drove into the underground garage, and from a distance we saw a couple, one adult and two children, waiting at the stairs.

"Why did you come back?"

The person speaking is Ge Xiaoshu, Yao Dimai's wife.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Yao Ran got out of the car and greeted Ge Xiaoshu first, then took a look at her bulging belly. "It's been a few months, why hasn't anyone given me any news?"

"It's been more than six months. You've been so busy. How can I bother you with such a small matter?"

"Adding a new member to our Yao family is no small matter!"

As he spoke, Yao Ran set his sights on the two little kids on his left and right.

"elder sister!"

"elder sister!"

Although there was shyness in their pretty eyes, the two little kids still took the initiative to greet Yao Ran.

Yao Ran squatted down and hugged the two delicate twin siblings.

"Dian Dian, Didi, do you miss your sister?"

Four years ago, Yao Chun gave birth to twins. Yao Ran came back twice and met her twice, but the children were still young at the time and might not have recognized her.

"I think so!" The two little guys nodded at the same time.

Yao Dimai parked the car and several people got into the elevator.

Grandma and Yao Yuan and his wife lived on the first floor, and they quickly entered the house.

After entering, I naturally complained a lot, but more of it was missing you.

"Xixi is getting more and more beautiful!" Zheng Juanjuan praised sincerely.

The family had dinner at home, and Yao Chun was about to go back to the city creation villa area to ask Yao Ran for his opinion.

"I'll stay with my grandma today, and I'll go get my luggage tomorrow."

Yao Chun also missed her daughter, but she didn't mind spending some time there, so she took the twins home by car.

After Yao Chun and the two children left, Yao Dimai and Ge Xiaoshu also went upstairs. Their new home was at 2201, and it was very convenient to go up by elevator.

When there were only four people left at home, Yao Ran asked about his grandmother's health.

"Hey! You're old, so you'll have good times and bad times. Fortunately, your mother can help out, so your uncle and aunt don't have to work so hard."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Yao Yuan had an early shift tomorrow, so he went to wash up and go to bed. Zheng Juanjuan moved to a new home and stayed at home to take care of her grandmother. She didn't go to work. She planned to go to the morning market tomorrow to buy some seafood.

"I'm going to sleep first. I'll get up early tomorrow and buy Xixi some of her favorite seafood."

When grandma came out of the bedroom after getting oxygen, she saw Yao Ran still holding the computer and writing something.

Over the years, the child still looks as thin as before and seems to be even less talkative.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Yao Ran has his own separate room here.

"I need to finish a manuscript tomorrow. It will only take another hour."

Yao Ran helped her grandmother sit down and handed her half a cup of warm water.

"Excuse me for disturbing you. I'm going to my room to write." Yao Ran was about to get the computer but was stopped by his grandmother.

"Not really. I took a nap in the afternoon, so I didn't sleep that much at night."

Seeing that her grandmother had nothing else to do, Yao Ran sat back and continued writing.

About half an hour later, she sent the finished manuscript to the editor's email address.

When I turned off the computer, I heard my grandmother say, "I heard from your mother that you make a lot of money writing online articles, but that's the limit. You're 24 years old this year, and you don't plan to go to graduate school anymore. It's time to consider finding a boyfriend. When you start a family, I can rest in peace!"

Yao Ran stood up from his seat, sat next to his grandmother, and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Grandma always says depressing things, I don't like to hear them!
I am still young and want to work hard for a few more years. Besides, having a boyfriend is not as easy as picking up a guy on the street!

Please take good care of yourself. When Diandian and Didi grow up, they will still need your care!"

　Mr. Shang: I’m just a man picked up from the street!
