“The second step is to plan the content for our first episode of ‘The Sisters’. I will be in charge of that. The third step will be for Sis Peach. We need your filming techniques and pieces of equipment.”

Tao Zhiyao posed an “OK” gesture, “No problem.”

“The fourth step will be for the actresses. Xiaoru and Liu Man, you have to be ready at any moment. Expect me to call you any day for the filming of a video.”

“Haha, that’s no problem at all. It’s summer break, after all, and I have nothing to do,” Li Xiaoru rubbed her palms together as if she could see the cash rolling in right in front of her eyes right now.

Although Liu Man was not the type of person that “had nothing to do”, she still had the time to film some videos.

Sun Weiwei was already experienced since she made “Happy Guo Guo” popular, so she could organize so many tasks and have a clear mind of who should do what. Everyone knew exactly what they needed to do. Although she didn’t have the best looks, her entire body glowed with a temperament that belonged to leaders. Everyone was obedient and followed her orders.

Liu Man had to exclaim that Sun Weiwei was an outstanding girl. He Qisi was blind and did not have good taste. Luckily, he did not like Sun Weiwei back; she deserved someone better to care for her.

The few friends discussed details for another few moments before they each left to do what they were responsible for.

In the evening, Yu Zhan picked Liu Man up so they could go get dinner together. They had already promised each other in the morning.

“After the meal, I still have to go back to work. My clinic hasn’t opened for a few days, and the customers are going to protest,” Yu Zhan smiled helplessly.

Liu Man saw the fatigue in his eyes and said, worried, “Since you are so busy, you didn’t have to come here.”

“How is that fine? I promised you to have dinner together, and I cannot forget our deal. It’s only half an hour of driving, anyway. Besides, I’ve been so busy with work, and you have to permit me to allow myself some rest.”

Liu Man could understand his implications. He felt it was very relaxing to spend time with her. She felt so, too. She felt satisfied and happy whenever she was with Yu Zhan.

Yu Zhan caught a glance of Liu Man’s subconscious chuckles with her head lowered.

“What are you laughing at?” He could help but curl up the corner of his lips, too.

“This afternoon, I invited all my friends over. We thought of a new idea to earn money,” Liu Man told Yu Zhan their plan of creating the group for “The Sisters”.

Yu Zhan also felt Sun Weiwei’s thought was very good. However, this meant Liu Man was going to get busy again, “The few of you are all the active kind. You just can’t stop and take a rest.”

“Which is why there’s a saying, ‘things are classified into different types, and people get together with people who are similar to them’,” Liu Man glanced at him, “Besides, you, yourself, are a busy man, too! Because you are doing what you like to do, you don’t feel tired at all even when you are exhausted.”

Yu Zhan burst into laughter, “When your ‘The Sisters’ group gets signed up, I will become your first fan.”

“Oh, right. How is Ye Ziliang’s documentary planning? When does he plan on starting to let you help him?”

“I don’t know for sure. He hasn’t called me again.”

Ye Ziliang had been staying at home for the past three days, writing the script.

Documentaries also needed scripts. The script was the spirit of the entire documentary since it decided the fundamental direction the documentary would be heading in.

Until now, the script was finished.

The first thing Ye Ziliang did after he got out of his house again was to drive to Yu Zhan’s pet clinic. At that time, it was already 10 p.m, and Yu Zhan was alone in the pet clinic, tidying up.

Ye Ziliang came in excitedly, saying he wanted to treat Yu Zhan to midnight snacks.

Yu Zhan laughed and accepted his invitation.

Seeing how enthusiastic and excited Ye Ziliang was, Yu Zhan recalled Liu Man’s expression when she spoke of “The Sisters”. They were both the “active” type.

The duo came to the Shaxian restaurant.

Lu Lingling, seeing Yu Zhan, was extremely happy.

“Bro, you haven’t been here in a long time. What do you want to eat?”

“Two plates of dumplings and two bottles of beer. I’m paying for the bill!” Ye Ziliang said resolutely.

“Okay!”

Sitting beside the road during summer and each drinking a bottle of beer in a joyful mood was the most enjoyable thing for men.

Yu Zhan was not constrained either. He sat on the old, almost-broken plastic stool with Ye Ziliang. Cars roared as they passed the two of them at times.

“Looks like you’re feeling very happy today,” Yu Zhan said.

“Mhm. My script is already done, and I came to find you for that,” Ye Ziliang told Yu Zhan all his thoughts, “I told you that you will be my documentary’s main character, but now, I plan to introduce you and your pet clinic from the perspective of Paul. Do you agree to lend me Paul?”

Author’s Note: In one of the s, it was mentioned that when Yu Zhan was busy, he always put Paul on the second floor of the pet clinic. Ye Ziliang has seen and teased Paul before. He knew Paul had an opposite personality from other Alaska. He was extremely obedient and was fitting for acting in a film!

Yu Zhan felt it wasn’t some requirement that was over the bounds, “Of course, I agree.”

“Awesome! You are my most supportive friend!” Ye Ziliang raised his cup, “Here’s to you!”

Yu Zhan bumped his glasses against Ye Ziliang’s, and they each drank a huge mouthful of beer before eating a few more dumplings. They were the most delicious thing in the world.

The wine was acting up, now. After Ye Ziliang got excited, he now started feeling sorrowful, “There is now a huge problem laying in front of me. Aiya, our boss is so hard to talk to. He told us he won’t be providing any help, and he really isn’t giving us any support.”

Ye Ziliang complained, “He said that it’s an internet documentary anyways, and it wouldn’t need much funding. It didn’t need to have delicate production; as long as the topic was interesting and attracted popularity, it would be fine. Hehe, no need for delicate production. It still needs to be produced. I’m not Superman, so I’m not good at everything. He only gave us one month in total. Where can I go find an entire production team? When I manage to find one, everything will be over.”

“Then, I will need to find others to cooperate with, videographers, make-up artists, sound artists, technology management, editors… There are so many things that need me to pay so much money. I’m feeling very exhausted and concerned.”

“The other three who are competing against me have already started filming, so I am way, way behind. They are different from me; they have connections inside the television department and can find the staff inside the division for help. I’m just a neophyte, and I’ve been studying in England before. I don’t have any connections or friends here. If I go beg people, they won’t even bother to acknowledge me.”

Ye Ziliang felt he was very useless as he said these words, “Do I really have to go beg my brother again? He’s already very busy himself, so I don’t want to trouble him too much.”

Yu Zhan had been listening to Ye Ziliang’s complaints seriously. He remembered that, two days ago, Liu Man had said they were just organizing their new group, “The Sisters”. This team would fit all of Ye Ziliang’s requirements.
