He quickly took it out and saw that it was his assistant, Little Luo. Cheng Hao quickly answered the call.

“How is it? What did Ring City say? Zi Yi went over personally. He should have gotten the role, right?”

Cheng Hao was naturally full of confidence. Recently, they had been getting closer to Yi Jie from Ring City. Previously, Yi Jie had agreed to his request and planned to reconsider the casting of ‘That Year of Youth’. Therefore, he still believed in the strength of their relationship.

Yi Jie had to give them some respect. Besides, with Mu Ziyi’s help, this matter was almost certainly in their favor!

“President Cheng, I’ve just confirmed the news. The official Weibo account of ‘That Year of Youth’ has just released a poster. The casting has been confirmed. The male lead is Xiao Yisheng, and the female lead is…”

At this point, Little Luo suddenly paused.

“So fast? As expected of the efficiency of Ring City. The female lead is Qianwei, right?”

Cheng Hao heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. His tone was also filled with confidence.

“No, President Cheng…”

The assistant on the other end hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and whispering, “The female lead isn’t Miss Lou… but… Huo Jiarong… President Yi from Ring City hasn’t seen President Mu. I heard that he’s already gone on a business trip, so…”

“Huo Jiarong? Impossible!”

Upon hearing this news, Cheng Hao was indeed shocked. His face was filled with disbelief!

“It’s true, President Cheng. We were too slow. When President Mu rushed over, the officials had already posted a poster. It should have just been confirmed because I checked and found that they had also just decided. It was very sudden! Ring City’s actions were really unbelievably fast! Originally, there was still plenty of time for this movie, and they were very careful in choosing the role. Such a sudden announcement surprised everyone!”

When Little Luo said that, Cheng Hao also sensed that something was fishy…

Lou Qianwei could naturally sense something from Cheng Hao’s words and expressions. Her face instantly turned pale, and her hands subconsciously tightened around her blanket. Her eyes were filled with disbelief!

How was this possible?

Ming Qianye and Huo Jiarong had caused such a scene. At that time, glass shards flew everywhere and even Yi Jie was scratched. Not only did Huo Jiarong not show him any respect, but she also did not cooperate at all. Moreover, on account of Mu Ziyi and Cheng Hao, how could Yi Jiarong give the role of the female lead to Huo Jiarong?

How was this possible?

How could Mu Ziyi and Cheng Hao not be able to secure the role?

What exactly went wrong?

Lou Qianwei doubted her own ears. Yang Li also sensed something was amiss and was stunned.

“That’s impossible. I’ll call Ziyi and ask what’s going on!”

Cheng Hao could not bear to see Lou Qianwei’s pale face in a daze, so he immediately called Mu Ziyi.

Mu Ziyi’s line was busy…

Cheng Hao opened Ring City’s official Weibo account in disbelief. Indeed, there was an official announcement.

“Qianwei…”

Cheng Hao looked at Lou Qianwei and said in a daze.

Lou Qianwei tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her stiff face. Her smile was even harder to look at than her crying. She shook her head, and her tone was still very gentle and understanding. “It’s alright… This role… was originally hers. We… might still be… However, thank you and Ziyi for everything you’ve done for me. I’ll remember your good deeds… Thank you…”

There was a slight tremble in her voice when she said the last few words. It made one’s heart ache.

“I’m sorry, Qianwei… I’ll ask clearly what’s going on… President Yi had already agreed, but he suddenly changed his mind. This is unusual…”

As Cheng Hao spoke, he immediately called Yi Jie.

He called a few times in a row, but Yi Jie did not pick up. However, just as Cheng Hao was feeling a little exasperated, Yi Jie’s secretary called.

“Mr. Cheng, this is the decision of the company’s higher-ups. As you know, President Yi doesn’t have the final say in Ring City alone. We won’t do business with your Cheng Corporation and the Mu family anymore. This is the result of President Yi’s careful consideration.”

Cheng Hao exploded with anger when he heard this. His face darkened as he asked coldly, “Why? You have to give me a reason!”

“We also want to know the reason, but this is what the higher-ups want. We’re only in charge of conveying the message. I advise you to restrain yourselves carefully. Don’t provoke anyone you shouldn’t. This is what our President Yi asked me to convey to you and President Mu.”

With that, the person on the other end hung up.

Cheng Hao was still at a loss and could not react!

Provoking someone he shouldn’t have?

Who?

Ming Qianye?

Impossible!

Huo Jiarong?

After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Hao thought of the Huo family that Huo Jiarong was from…

It was true that the Huo Family was a wealthy family, but the Huo Family did not approve of Huo Jiarong’s career choice. Moreover, Huo Jiarong was not a child that the Huo Family valued. The Huo Family had deep connections. They would not step in for Huo Jiarong, right?

However, if it wasn’t the Huo Family, how could they explain the current situation?

Cheng Hao was furious, especially when he saw Lou Qianwei’s pale face and dazed expression…

…

Huo Jiarong was completely dumbfounded!

When Chen Lin told her about the official announcement, she still felt that this was a dream.

This was too unbelievable!

She hurriedly informed her to go over for styling, took a few makeup photos, and made a poster. Then, it was posted just like that?

Wasn’t this too hasty?

“Sister Rong, this situation is too beautiful! Why did Ring City take action so quickly?”

Chen Lin took a long time to recover. She looked very excited.

Huo Jiarong looked at the message on her phone. Ming Qianye’s cold and elegant face quickly flashed across her mind, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes. She immediately turned to Chen Lin and said, “It’s a good thing. Go out and prepare first…”

“Alright, Sister Rong. I’ll go and hand it over to them now.”

Chen Lin left with a happy expression.

Huo Jiarong only reached for her phone to call Ming Qianye when she heard the sound of footsteps leaving.

At this moment, on G University’s basketball court.

Ming Qianye had just finished a basketball game.

Dressed in a white jersey and drenched in sweat, she was wiping her sweat with a towel. When she saw Huo Jiarong’s call, she picked it up.

“Hello? Qianye… it’s me, it’s about the role in Ring City… was it your doing?”

Although Huo Jiarong asked this question, her tone was firm.

Ming Qianye was also stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered what she had told Shen Tinglan before…

She did not expect him to do it so quickly!

However, the Devil had always been very particular about efficiency, so this move of his wasn’t strange.

“Mm, it’s good that I didn’t ruin your career. Do your best,”

Ming Qianye replied indifferently.
