95: Tan Palace Villa

The afternoon passed.

Cao Lang typed on the keyboard for five hours straight without stopping.

Such endurance!

Rare in the world!

This talent is unprecedented and unparalleled!

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would truly be hard to believe!

Cao Lang once again conquered all the actors and the director present!

"Alright, Director Zheng, keep filming. I'll write the rest for you in a few days."

Cao Lang stretched, cracked his fingers, and still felt full of vigor!

The golden kidney is terrifyingly powerful!

This stamina is incredible!

"Sure thing, sure thing. Don't worry, CEO Cao! I'll definitely do my best to film your masterpiece!"

Zheng Yi was won over by Cao Lang. As a workaholic, he immediately began preparing for the next filming session.

Ye Wanqing sat listlessly at her workstation, watching her old movies.

Since signing with Xingyao Media, she hadn't encountered a suitable script.

"Wanqing, hurry to the studio! CEO Cao has arranged a role for you!" Assistant Xiao Li's voice couldn't hide her excitement. She was the assistant Xingyao Media had assigned to Ye Wanqing, and she hadn't expected to get a role so soon.

"Really?" There was a hint of disbelief in Ye Wanqing's eyes.

Having been blacklisted for years, set up by capital, and banned by the entire entertainment industry, she never imagined she would see the day she could act again!

"Of course it's true! I heard CEO Cao added the role specifically for you at the last minute!"

Xiao Li's words were filled with admiration. Cao Lang was practically the face of Xingyao Media now! Every time she opened TikTok, it was full of clips of him!

Ye Wanqing followed Assistant Xiao Li quickly to the studio, her high heels clicking sharply on the floor.

The moment she pushed open the door, the entire studio seemed to fall silent for a few seconds.

Ye Wanqing was tall, about 1.7 meters, wearing a cream-colored knit sweater and a black pencil skirt that outlined her perfect curves.

Her features were as exquisite as a meticulously carved work of art, especially those eyes—clear as water and breathtakingly beautiful!

As expected, a star's aura was much stronger than that of a typical Internet Celebrity!

Even though Ye Wanqing hadn't acted for a long time, her natural aura completely overshadowed the other short drama actors.

Wang Tangtang watched from the side, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She knew Ye Wanqing's talent and beauty. With such a woman joining the cast, she might not even be able to keep up in their scenes together!

The gap in skill was quite large!

Wang Tangtang secretly resolved that once she got back, she would practice her lines and acting skills tirelessly!

After all, she was an amateur. Being promoted by Cao Lang was already a huge blessing; if she couldn't handle this immense fortune, she would never forgive herself!

Xue Ziqi and Xu Yizhen also exchanged a look, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes—with Ye Wanqing joining the cast, the pressure on them was too great!

This was the intimidating presence of a professional actor!

Ye Wanqing walked straight to Cao Lang, her voice slightly trembling with excitement. "CEO Cao, did you really arrange a role for me?"

Cao Lang smiled slightly without saying a word.

Director Zheng stepped forward and explained to Ye Wanqing, "It's true. CEO Cao just created a role for you on the spot! You missed a miracle in literary history. CEO Cao wrote a 100,000-word script right here. It's simply unheard of!"

Zheng Yi was practically becoming Cao Lang's fanboy, taking every opportunity to praise him!

Ye Wanqing gave Cao Lang a deep look and whispered a thank you.

Cao Lang said nothing. Ye Wanqing had always been somewhat aloof; if he wanted to get closer to her, he had to start with professional matters.

Adding a role for her was also just to unlock the system's rewards as quickly as possible.

The system was too powerful, and Cao Lang had benefited greatly from it!

He remembered the last function unlocked was the lottery feature.

Cao Lang still had three unused lottery chances. While studying the system's functions, he felt a sudden impulse to try his luck.

With a thought from Cao Lang, the number 3 for lottery chances in the top right changed to 2, turning into a beam of light that entered the wheel, which began to spin rapidly.

After a while, the pointer stopped on a small house-shaped icon.

[Congratulations to the Host for winning a Tan Palace villa. The property deed has been issued. Please check to receive it!]

Suddenly, a small red book slipped from his chest, hit the ground with a thud, and fell open.

Zheng Yi was quick-eyed and nimble-handed; he bent down, picked it up, and handed it to Cao Lang. "CEO Cao, you dropped something."

When he saw the words on the red book clearly, he was completely stunned.

"Tan Palace Villa... Property deed? Construction area: 1,500 square meters..."

Zheng Yi's voice trembled slightly.

When the people around heard those words, they instantly fell silent.

Tan Palace was the most elite villa area in Magic City, where a single house easily cost seven or eight hundred million!

An ordinary wealthy person couldn't afford to live there!

One had to be at least a financial tycoon or a CEO of a Fortune 500 company to afford it!

Shock flashed in Ye Wanqing's eyes. Having lived in Magic City for so long, she naturally knew what Tan Palace represented.

The Celestial Beings living there were completely disconnected from ordinary society; they were all people with both power and wealth.

It was said that movie queens and top starlets of the entertainment industry had been invited to Host wild parties for a Tan Palace owner.

When they came out, every one of them walked strangely, heaven knows what they had experienced!

The old master of the Qin Group also had a property there, though it was said he rarely stayed in it.

Wang Tangtang's mouth hung open slightly. She thought Cao Lang was rich enough already, but she hadn't expected his wealth to far exceed her imagination.

Xue Ziqi and Xu Yizhen looked at each other, both seeing deep shock in the other's eyes.

They had seen many wealthy people in this circle, but a Tan Palace owner was truly an existence at the tip of the pyramid—someone they had never met!

Cao Lang calmly took the property deed and stuffed it back into his pocket, as if what he had dropped was just an ordinary business card.

"It's getting late. Why don't we all go to my place and gather together?" Cao Lang's tone was relaxed and casual, as if he were inviting friends to his small apartment for tea.

Zheng Yi swallowed hard. He had originally wanted to continue working, but how could he dare refuse Cao Lang's invitation?

"O-okay, CEO Cao. I'll arrange for everyone to wrap up now."

Cao Lang walked over to Wang Tangtang and said, "Bring Duo Duo along too. Let me see my precious daughter."

Wang Tangtang's heart raced as she nodded shyly.

A villa in Tan Palace... she never even dreamed she would one day step into such a place.

Xue Ziqi and Xu Yizhen quietly began touching up their makeup. Opportunities like this didn't come every day!

Neither of them had managed to talk to Cao Lang yet. Being invited tonight, they definitely had to put on a good performance!

Cao Lang walked to Ye Wanqing's side and said, "Wanqing, come with us. I'll explain your character's role to you."

Ye Wanqing looked at the mysterious man before her. He was practically her savior; she had no right to refuse at all!

Soon, the group left the studio in a grand procession.

Cao Lang got into the private car where Zhang Shuo was waiting and, with Wang Tangtang and Ye Wanqing inside, drove toward the Tan Palace villa.
