Cheng Che was puzzled. “Director Pan, you put a lot of thought into the casting so why wouldn’t I agree? Since you know the manager, working together would be easier, right? It doesn’t matter if the actress is a newcomer. As long as you think the actress is suitable, then it’s fine. Why would I have any objection?”

Pan Hao was slightly stunned by Cheng Che’s reply. Then, he replied, “P-president Cheng, you’re an investor. You have a say in the casting. I thought… I thought…”

“Director Pan, don’t tell me you think I have a girlfriend, and I want to make her the lead actress?” Cheng Che asked. When he saw the sheepish expression on Pan Hao’s face, he laughed. Then, he explained, “Director Pan, my girlfriend is a doctor. She’s a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. If you’re unsure about medical facts, you can consult her. However, if it’s acting, then you can forget it. She has no interest in acting.”

Cheng Che’s expression turned serious as he continued to say, “Director Pan, you come highly recommended by my sister-in-law, Song Ning. I’ve watched all your works and studied them in detail. I have no doubts about your ability. All you need to do is select the scripts that you think have potential, and I’ll give you my opinion. However, you have more experience so you don’t have to base your decision on my opinions. As for the casting of actors, I’ll leave it up to you since you have more experience. I won’t interfere. I don’t want you to be affected by unnecessary matters that will affect the quality of your work. Rest assured.”

Pan Hao was so moved by these words, he had the urge to cry. He wiped his face and said, “President Cheng, thank you! I-I will make sure the movie is good. I won’t let you down!”

Cheng Che smiled and said to lighten the atmosphere,?“There’s no need for you to be so moved. I’m just a businessman who doesn’t lack money. Although I seem reasonable, it depends on economic benefits as well. It’s best if the movie becomes a blockbuster, I’d be able to profit from it. If I lose money, I’ll be upset as well…”

Pan Hai said, slightly embarrassed, “But… The genre of our movie isn’t the explosive kind…”

Cheng Che nodded. “I know, but I like it. My grandmother likes it as well.”

This is an example of how money could not buy people’s hearts. Instead, Cheng Che’s consideration had won over Pan Hao. After listening to Cheng Che’s words, Pan Hao’s fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

Cheng Che smiled. “Focus on the movie, Director Pan. Don’t worry about matters unrelated to the movie. I won’t interfere unnecessarily.”

“Alright! I promise to work hard!” Pan Hao said excitedly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cheng Che smiled and shook his head as he watched Pan Hao leave. Pan Hao was quite famous because he was highly talented. However, it was difficult for Pan Hao to grow even more famous because he was too focused on creating a perfect movie and did not understand the ways of the world. If Pan Hao was tactful, Pan Hao would have told that he had found a good actor and invited him to have a look. However, Pan Hao was really direct and came looking for him to inform him of the matter immediately. Nevertheless, he did not mind Pan Hao’s straightforward personality.

Pan Hao was naturally nervous since Cheng Che was an investor and had the right to call the shots. Hence, he was very touched when Cheng Che said that he trusted him and would not interfere unnecessarily.

Cheng Che believed if he cooperated with Pan Hao a few more times and gave Pan Hao creative control, Pan Hao would never leave his company for the rest of his life. After all, his trust would show Pan Hao that Pan Hao was valued.

Once again, Cheng Che realized how important the principles his grandmother and his brother had taught him were. He could not help thinking about his grandmother at this moment and began to miss her. Hence, he wasted no time in bringing his phone out to start a video call.. At this moment, he realized that he felt strange if he did not listen to his grandmother’s nagging after a few days.
