Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 819 - 817: That Girl Is a Treasure (Part 2)

So, Zhang Ziweng can only secretly pray that Si Han would like this script and fall in love with the female lead in the film; only then would she possibly take on this role.

Si Han took the script home without telling anyone, she only told Le Tong and Ji Rui that she went out for a simple meal with Zhang Ziweng to catch up.

Such things have happened before, therefore, her parents didn’t suspect anything, nor did Da Bao who was far away in M City.

Nuonuo spent three days thoroughly reading the script, besides being moved, she was immensely shocked by the strong and resilient personality of the film’s female lead.

From the storyline perspective, this script is definitely a tragedy.

But from the perspective of the female lead’s character and the narrative technique used, it’s a film filled with positive energy about love and redemption.

The female lead is a sixteen-year-old sophomore in high school, living in a moderately prosperous family, she originally had a happy and fulfilling life. Unexpectedly, a car accident changed her life. Her parents protected her during the accident, her father became a vegetative state, and her mother was paraplegic. Even with medical insurance and compensation, the once happy family turned into a crumbling mess.

Although she only suffered some minor injuries in the accident, she resolutely took on the burden of caring for her parents. Her schoolwork was already heavy, coupled with caring for her parents, she was physically and mentally exhausted. Just as she was about to buckle under the heavy burden, the perpetrator of the accident, a wealthy young man, appeared at her doorstep.

He said he was willing to help care for her parents and was willing to care for her until she had the ability to live independently.

The girl hated this young man immensely and immediately chased him away with a broom. But the young man was determined to seek forgiveness, sitting with a lunchbox at the girl’s door every day after work. The girl called the police, but the police refused to file a case, stating that this person hadn’t caused any harm or threat to the girl. In this way, the young man persisted for more than a month, eventually, the girl had no choice but to let him in.

The mother hated this young man even more, often hitting and scolding him. However, slowly, perhaps truly tired, or thinking about her young daughter having to bear the heavy burden of caring for both her and her husband, she accepted, though indifferently, the young man’s offer to help care for them.

Initially, neither the girl nor her mother had a good attitude toward this young man. Moreover, they thought this action of caring as atonement was merely his whim, and he would soon change his mind and back off.

However, contrary to the mother and daughter’s expectations, this young man’s actions of caring for their family continued for years. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Until the female lead graduated from college, he was still consistently helping care for her parents along with the female lead. Years of companionship and mutual support not only fostered familial bonds akin to those between siblings between the male and female leads, but also, gradually, some other strange emotions seemed to emerge, and the film concluded amidst this ambiguous emotional atmosphere, leaving viewers with endless imaginations and hope.

There is no denying that the story is very captivating, with extremely tight control over the pace and climax of the plot. It’s easy to imagine that turning it into a movie would certainly result in a film that would move and provoke deep thinking in audiences.

After reading the last line, Nuonuo’s gaze lingered on the words [TheEnd] for a long time. She didn’t know how much time had passed before she reluctantly closed the script, and for a moment, she even thought she was the female lead in the script, stuck in complex emotions, unable to break free for some time.

There is no denying Zhang Ziweng made a bold move, but it worked!

Because after reading the script, Nuonuo was determined to take the role in this film. As for the pay or other concerns, she didn’t care at all, as long as it didn’t affect her studies.

But how would she persuade her parents and Brother Dabao?

For this reason, Nuonuo pondered deeply for almost a week but still couldn’t think of a good solution.

With summer vacation already half over, in a blink, it was August. Zhang Ziweng mentioned that Director Sun could wait until the end of the holiday, meaning, if Nuonuo hadn’t persuaded her family in a month, they would move on to find someone else.

Nuonuo felt anxious, but she knew clearly that to persuade her family, traditional methods would absolutely not work.

Therefore, before coming up with a foolproof method, she would never mention this to her family.

But sometimes, man proposes, God disposes. Before Nuonuo figured out how to speak up, Le Tong and Ji Rui discovered this.

At the beginning of August, Ji Rui attended entertainment tycoon Jing Shen’s sixtieth birthday banquet together with Le Tong.

Before the banquet began, the host arranged a cocktail party to greet the guests. Director Sun, whom Zhang Ziweng mentioned, entered the party venue. The very first thing was naturally to look for tonight’s main character, Jing Shen. When he saw the two people standing beside the birthday star, his eyes lit up.

"Mr. Ji, Mrs. Ji, hello!" Director Sun quickly stepped forward to greet Ji Rui and his wife before turning to congratulate Jing Shen.

Jing Shen didn’t mind. After all, although he was an entertainment tycoon and a big shot in the industry, when it came to financial power and influence, he was quite a distance away from Ji Rui.

Ji Rui and Le Tong naturally continued chatting with Director Sun and Jing Shen. It must be said that Director Sun’s eyes lit up upon seeing the Ji couple was not because of Si Han.

Because he didn’t even know that model Si Han was Ji Rui’s daughter, Ji Sihan. It’s just that he had once sought investment from Ji Rui before, but Ji Rui naturally declined since he wasn’t interested in the film industry, so the investment matter eventually came to nothing.

But, these directors are brilliant people, and won’t ruin relationships over a failed business deal. Seeing Ji Rui and Le Tong standing before Jing Shen, it was evidently clear that he was keen to network.

"Mr. Ji, I’m currently preparing a new film. The script is good, a literary film, though the investment is low, the box office should not be bad. Mr. Ji, are you interested in testing the waters?"

Director Sun, standing before him, though not approaching him for the first time for sponsorship, Ji Rui had heard that Director Sun’s films were quality guaranteed, box office guaranteed. In Ji Rui’s eyes, investing in a literary film was like ordinary folks buying a cabbage from the market — quite casual. Therefore, internally, he didn’t immediately refuse.

However, having managed the Ji Family for so many years, Ji Rui always performed prudent and careful investment and decision-making, never making battles unprepared. Without having done any analysis, he would not reveal his thoughts easily.

"Director Sun, we have never been involved in the film and entertainment industry and don’t want to take risks abruptly."

Director Sun raised his glass and clinked it with Ji Rui’s, boldly downing the drink in one go.

"Mr. Ji, rest assured, I plan to have Si Han, who is endorsed by the XX brand of fashion, play the female lead in this film; she’s an absolute treasure and will definitely make the film a big hit!"
