"Mr. Lao'er, how the Anderson Family produces films is not something for you to dictate," Sa Li retorted, jaw clenched in defiance as she still decided to stand by Jiang Chen.

Caught in a dilemma, Sa Li turned to look at Jiang Chen by her side, biting her teeth, yet she still supported Jiang Chen.

"This... Miss Sa Li, I'm just offering a suggestion, and with such a huge loss, are you sure you don't need to discuss it with your family? That's three billion we're talking about?" Lao'er squinted his eyes, staring straight into Sa Li's.

He couldn't understand why Sa Li was being so polite to Jiang Chen and wanted to test how far she would go for him!

At that moment, Sa Li's eyes lost some of their resolve; if Jiang Chen could really cure her grandfather's illness, then thirty billion, let alone three billion, would not be an issue. Her grandfather was the pillar of the family. But at present, it was only a possibility, merely her own expectation. If the treatment failed and they lost three billion, her position in the family would also become rather pessimistic!

"Three billion?" Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment before turning to look at Sa Li.

With hesitant eyes, Sa Li nodded, "This film is a grand Demonic Path movie that combines mythologies from the East and West, and the total investment has already exceeded ten billion!"

"No wonder!" Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

No wonder the lead actress is a foreigner, the second female lead is from Yan Country, and the roles of the first and second lead can be swapped. There's virtually no significant difference between the two roles in this film; it just comes down to who gets more screen time after the editing.

The combination of Eastern and Western mythologies is all about who ends up with the grander and more prominent scenes!

Having understood the reason, Jiang Chen did not say anything further and quietly observed Sa Li.

Sa Li was stunned, she had thought that Jiang Chen would be shocked by the three billion figure, but it seemed he was merely curious and dropped the subject, leaving her somewhat at a loss!

Jiang Chen's attitude clearly indicated that he was waiting for her decision, but she found herself unable to make such a decision now!

"What's going on?"

As Sa Li struggled with her thoughts, a commanding voice rang out, and everyone turned their heads in unison.

A middle-aged man walked out from the crew's rest area, supporting an elderly man, with a senior doctor in a white coat following them.

"Dad, Grandpa!" Sa Li called out, quickly taking over the elder from the middle-aged man.

"Uncle Kai Ya, Grandpa Te'er Si!" Lao'er also greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Kai Ya, please talk some sense into Miss Sa Li; she's acting recklessly, disregarding the interests of the family!"

"Mr. Kai Ya, Miss Sa Li has been misled, insisting on protecting that damned Yè Yùwǎn. You must make a decision for us!"

As soon as Fu Lake and Li Sha saw the arrival of Kai Ya's group, they rushed over, pleading desperately.

"Uncle Kai Ya, Sa Li really isn't acting properly here. This could cause a heavy loss for the Anderson Family. That's three billion in funds!" Lao'er added softly.

"What's going on?" Kai Ya frowned and turned to look at Sa Li.

In a low voice, Sa Li explained the situation and then pointed at Jiang Chen, saying meaningfully, "This Mr. Jiang is an excellent practitioner of traditional medicine. I invited him here to treat my grandfather's illness."

"Traditional medicine?!"

"Is it traditional medicine?!"

"He's just a doctor?!"

"And here I thought he was some young master from a first-class family!"

Sa Li's words elicited murmurs from the crew as they looked at Jiang Chen with astounded gazes.

"Miss Sa Li, you must have been deceived, right? What's so great about traditional medicine? They're just some crude medical methods after all. To treat Grandpa Te'er Si's illness, we still need modern medicine!" Hearing this, Lao'er looked at Jiang Chen with disdain and sneered.

Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he turned to look at Sa Li.

"Miss Sa Li, traditional medicine really doesn't have much capability, you've truly been fooled!"

A middle-aged doctor beside him looked at Jiang Chen with disdain: "Besides, to excel in traditional medicine requires years of accumulation. But look at this young man, how could he possibly be a master of medical skills? It's obvious that he's a fraud!"

Sa Li frowned, about to say something, when Kai Ya spoke in a deep voice, "Sa Li, stop this nonsense!"

Turning to Jiang Chen, Kai Ya said coldly, "Sir, you've committed assault in my Anderson Family's film crew. Although there was a reason, you must still accept punishment!"

"Punishment? And what punishment would you like to impose?" Jiang Chen asked, his expression unreadable.

"The punishment is to have Ye Yuwan complete this movie for us without pay!" Kai Ya's eyes shifted, and he pointed a finger at Ye Yuwan.

"You're dreaming!" Jiang Chen glanced at Kai Ya indifferently, then turned to Ye Yuwan and said gently, "Yu Wan, let's go. This crappy movie isn't worth filming!"

"Okay!" Ye Yuwan nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen took Ye Yuwan's hand and began to walk towards the exit of the studio.

"Stop!"

A thunderous shout came, and Kai Ya, with a somber face, said, "This isn't a place where you can come and go as you please! You want to leave? Did you ask if Ye Yuwan's company would agree? If you just walk away like this, her company will have to pay a penalty fee!"

"Penalty fee?!" Jiang Chen chuckled coldly, "After all the grievance Yu Wan has suffered, and you still expect a penalty fee? That's really fucking hilarious!"

"The Anderson Family, is it?" Jiang Chen glanced at Sa Li, then turned to Kai Ya, "I didn't want to make a big deal out of this for Sa Li's sake, but if your Anderson Family wants to play, I, Jiang Chen and Jiuzhou Group, will accompany you to the end!"

"Jiang Chen? You are the Chairman of Jiuzhou Group, Jiang Chen?!" Kai Ya's expression changed dramatically as he exclaimed.

"What? He's the Chairman of Jiuzhou Group?!"

"No wonder! No wonder he's not afraid of the Anderson Family. Jiuzhou Group is an international corporation on the same level as the Anderson Family!"

"The Chairman of Jiuzhou Group is so young!"

"After offending their Chairman's woman, I'm afraid the Anderson Family's cooperation with Jiuzhou Group might be at risk!"

The surrounding crowd let out exclamations one after another.

"Mr. Jiang, you…" Sa Li was stunned, looking at Jiang Chen with amazement.

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, "Miss Sa Li, I expect a satisfactory answer for the wrongs done to Yu Wan today, otherwise, the Anderson Family will be blacklisted by Jiuzhou Group."

"Is Mr. Jiang threatening our Anderson Family?" Kai Ya's expression turned cold, "Mr. Jiang, don't think your Jiuzhou Group is so impressive. My Anderson Family is not something you can push around easily!"

"Would you like to try?" Jiang Chen smiled coldly, staring straight at Kai Ya.

Kai Ya's complexion stiffened, hesitating in his demeanor.

The reason Jiang Chen was so confident was that before coming to the Northern Confederation, he had contacted Sun Yue. He intended to help Zhu Zhengkun financially. When Sun Yue heard it was about financing, she mentioned a recent substantial investment with the Anderson Family, which included a massive cooperation between Jiuzhou and the Anderson Family!

"Mr. Jiang, you've made a very unwise decision. If you dare touch the Anderson Family, our Xi'er Family will not stand by and watch!" Lao'er Xi'er spoke up coldly.

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen smiled coldly.

"Yes, I am a member of the Xi'er Family, one of the First-Class Families of the Northern Confederation, Lao'er Xi'er." Lao'er held his head high, chest out, looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lao'er with disdain and curved his lips, making a phone call.
