• Chapter 92: Guidance on the Script Amazing! Xiao Ran couldn’t help but praise Liu Zhenwei’s script. Truly, he was indeed Hong Kong’s most enigmatic director after Xu Keji—capable of creating such a script at the very beginning of the gambling film genre. Watching Xiao Ran’s unpredictable expression, Liu Zhenwei grew increasingly uneasy. He had always thought the script was good, but seeing the face of this renowned top screenwriter in Hong Kong, it was clear it wasn’t as good as he had imagined. What does a person need most? It’s not money, love, or family ties—it’s confidence. Money, love, and family are all sources of this confidence. Xiao Ran liked to praise his subordinates to give them enough confidence. Of course, as a director, he couldn’t give others much confidence, but as a screenwriter—given that almost everyone recognized him as Hong Kong’s number one screenwriter—such recognition from a “god’s hand” was undoubtedly a source of great pride. “A good script!” After pondering for a while, Xiao Ran snapped back to reality and exclaimed. This approval immediately excited Liu Zhenwei. After taking a sip of his ice milk tea, which the ice had already melted in, Xiao Ran said, “Your script has a great concept and an excellent theme. To think so deeply at this time shows you have real talent! But…” Liu Zhenwei, who had been overjoyed by the praise, immediately grew nervous upon hearing “but.” Xiao Ran stirred his straw, thinking whether to adapt the script directly for the screen or turn it into a comedy version. After hesitating for a moment, recalling how Stephen Chow became famous in this way, he stopped hesitating. He stopped stirring his straw and said casually, “Under normal circumstances, I would definitely give you this script. But now, I want to promote someone—a talented comedian.” Liu Zhenwei was extremely smart and immediately understood Xiao Ran’s meaning. He asked cautiously, with a hint of concern, “Boss, do you mean turning it into a comedy? That might be… a loss!” A loss! Xiao Ran sighed, silently completing the unspoken words. Now he understood why film companies always liked to produce mediocre films—most famously, *Crazy Magic* made to promote a girl group. He was in the same situation, except Emperor Entertainment Group didn’t have his vision. “It’s indeed a pity, but I’m sure that actor will become famous!” After pondering for a while, Xiao Ran realized there was room for compromise. The key was whether the director could balance comedy with a profound theme. “Actually, you don’t need to feel regretful. This theme can be applied to other scripts. The most important thing is that we can find a compromise—something that’s both entertaining and artistic!” “Huh?” Liu Zhenwei was stunned. Xiao Ran’s demands were absurdly high; he certainly didn’t think he could handle them. “Boss, isn’t this too difficult?” “Too difficult?” Xiao Ran was surprised. He didn’t think it was difficult. But after careful consideration, he realized it was indeed a very challenging task.

• Chapter 232: Receiving a Precious Son Not long after the movie was released, while Xiao Ran was planning “Jurassic Park,” Li Ka-shing took the initiative to contact him. Li Ka-shing wanted to collaborate with Xiao Ran on a project worth about 20 billion pounds. Unsure of handling it alone, he decided to involve Xiao Ran and several other infrastructure companies. Chengji Infrastructure clearly needed some landmark projects to prove itself, and it had long wanted to secure that project, so an agreement was reached quickly. Later, Li Ka-shing asked Xiao Ran if he wanted to attend the full-month celebration at the Ho family’s home. That’s when Xiao Ran remembered that Ho Ying-dong’s eldest son had recently had a son, and of course, a grand banquet would be held. The Ho family had even sent him an invitation. Xiao Han learned of this news soon and insisted on going with Xiao Ran. With no other choice, he took her along. The Ho family’s home was bustling—large and crowded, with endless congratulations. Lin Qingxia, of course, was chatting with the other elite ladies, while Xiao Ran discussed business with Ho Ying-dong and Li Ka-shing. When Ho’s eldest son’s wife, the 1987 Miss Hong Kong winner and one of the most beautiful contestants, came out holding her newborn son, Xiao Ran noticed a fond look in Lin Qingxia’s eyes and felt moved. Going over to the child with Ho Ying-dong, Xiao Ran saw a chubby, pink-faced baby, sucking on his thumb, with big eyes staring in wonder at the strangers around him—utterly adorable. Yet in Xiao Ran’s eyes, it wasn’t as cute as he had imagined. He simply watched his wife’s expression quietly. Lin Qingxia was glowing with joy, playing with the baby and unable to resist holding him. Seeing this, Ho Ying-dong burst into laughter and said, “Since Mrs. Xiao likes children so much, why don’t you have one of your own? With both of your talents, your child would surely be smart and beautiful.” Lin Qingxia’s expression changed slightly before she forced a smile and said, “He’s currently very busy with his career, so we’re not having children for now. We’ll think about it in the future!” Xiao Ran couldn’t miss the look in his wife’s eyes. At that moment, he was also stunned. It was hard to describe the emotion rising in his heart. He was now wavering about having children. In fact, he had already been wavering, but he had been too busy with work to bring it up. As they were leaving, with Sun Yang driving, Xiao Ran suddenly shouted for him to stop. Then, pretending to be casual, he looked at Lin Qingxia and said, “Qingxia, if you really don’t want children, tell me. I think I can give you an answer!” Lin Qingxia hesitated. Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t want children, but she didn’t want to put Xiao Ran in a difficult position. Nor did she want to deceive him anymore—she found it exhausting. And it was clear that Xiao Ran was asking seriously this time; she couldn’t give him an answer.
