Shi Heng frowned. “But if the Ji family is directly the investor, then this becomes complicated. Bai Xixue wouldn’t go for the lead female role, so why would she compete with you for the third female lead?”

Jiang Sui looked at him. “Do you think her team is just idle? That’s all money spent by Ji Sicheng, tailor-made for Bai Xixue. Of course, they’ll analyze which role in the script benefits her the most.”

“Besides, this role has fewer scenes and helps solidify her public image.”

Jiang Sui smiled slightly, “That way, the official narrative becomes: ‘Because she was lazy to act, she chose the role with the least screen time, yet unexpectedly skyrocketed in popularity.’”

Shi Heng was enlightened by Jiang Sui’s words. “You make so much sense. I didn’t even realize it myself!”

“So, what do we do now? Do we pressure Director Lin to finalize and announce the role, or wait and see first?” Shi Heng consulted Jiang Sui.

“Wait and see first,” she said with a smile. “No rush.”

But Shi Heng was still worried. “But if the investor is the Ji family…”

Jiang Sui replied calmly, “He has money, do I not?”

Shi Heng: “...”

Damn, having money really means having confidence!

Yet, he gradually felt that compared to him, Jiang Sui seemed more like the decisive manager.

He got a little emotional.

No, no matter what, Jiang Sui was the one who spent money to bring him in. She genuinely valued him and believed in him. He was her only choice; he had to have worth!

As a top manager, he must arrange everything perfectly for Jiang Sui as an artist to honor her sincere efforts in recruiting him.

“Sui Sui! I’m here, I’m here!” Yi Miaomiao came in excitedly from the door, carrying a large fish tank!

Jiang Sui heard the voice and walked over. “Why are you so slow?”

Yi Miaomiao had just come down with Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai went to run errands, while Miaomiao went to fetch something.

“Why are you carrying such a big fish tank?” Shi Heng asked, puzzled. “And how does a girl have so much strength?”

Yi Miaomiao put down the tank and stared intently at the few koi swimming inside, her mouth moving silently.

“Jiang Sui said she bought a few koi and asked me to bring them downstairs.” Although she was speaking to Shi Heng, her eyes were fixed on the fish.

Jiang Sui lightly tapped her little head and whispered, “Don’t get any ideas. I bought you a few boxes of canned food—that’s enough for you.”

Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, her whole face smiling like a little cat.

“Jiang Sui is the best, meow~”

She knew she hadn’t chosen the wrong boss!

Jiang Sui carefully adjusted the fish tank; the koi swam around happily.

She reached her hand into the water; the koi immediately gathered around, swimming joyfully.

“When will the decorator arrive?” Jiang Sui asked.

Miaomiao replied, “Three o’clock this afternoon.”

Jiang Sui nodded.

Having koi alone isn’t enough; the layout must change as well.

Moreover, koi must be kept in flowing water, so the office needs to be renovated.

Only then will the company’s fortune and energy prosper accordingly.

“Why are you raising koi?” Shi Heng asked curiously.

Jiang Sui smiled faintly. “Don’t you know? Koi symbolize good fortune.”

Shi Heng understood.

Jiang Sui carried a bit of a mystic master’s aura.

So—following her is surely a path to wealth!

In the co-pilot seat, Yi Miaomiao munched on canned food while reporting to Jiang Sui.

“When Jiang Lai left, I thought to myself: I have to get this done well so she won’t be disappointed in me. Then I wondered: why does she trust me so much… Could she like me? No, no, no, that’s impossible. She’s a big star! Why would she like me? Right… she must only appreciate my ability. Whatever, what am I even thinking? I should just focus on my own duties… I…”

“Stop right there.” Jiang Sui interrupted Miaomiao’s chatter interspersed with the sound of canned food being eaten.
