Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 93 Lily’s Ex-Husband

After several rounds of actor auditions, Catherine, with the consent of Wang Jian and Lehman, decided on the candidates for the four major roles.

The financially struggling 27-year-old actress Naomi Watts got her wish to become the first "Mary Sue".

The handsome Miller was chosen by Catherine to play the Vice Prison Warden.

In the show, he’s willing to commit crimes for the female lead and wants to kill the Prison Warden.

Wang Jian preferred to call this character, the biggest sycophant...

The remaining roles of the Prison Warden and the female prison tyrant were introduced by Catherine.

One of them is Neil Harris, a Broadway actor who came here to repay a favor.

As the biggest star of the "Prison Break" series, he will appear in CBS’s promotional videos.

Of course, he looks quite handsome in a uniform.

The other is Jessica Chastain, an 18-year-old girl who is a bit taller, with the same blond hair and blue eyes. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Most importantly, the image of an 18-year-old beauty cornering a 27-year-old beauty is quite exciting to think about...

All four, except for Neil, were unknown actors at this moment.

Therefore, they were all paid the minimum salary.

This ensured that more money could be spent on filming.

After the main casting was completed, the crew began to start the preparatory work for the early stages.

Wang Jian and Lehman, both amateurs, watched Catherine command the staff with efficiency while idly chatting away.

Suddenly, Wang Jian’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and heard Lily’s incoherent voice on the line.

"Little Gene has been hospitalized; the school just called."

"Don’t panic; what’s the exact situation?" Wang Jian asked.

"The school said that Little Gene suddenly had severe stomach pain and is now in New York City Hospital."

"What’s the specific reason?" Wang Jian asked while gesturing to Lehman and hurriedly walked out.

"I’m not sure; I’m rushing there right now," Lily said, trying to calm down. "Can you come and accompany me?"

"I’ll be right there," Wang Jian instructed. "Be careful on the way. Little Gene is usually so healthy; it shouldn’t be a serious problem."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jian drove hurriedly towards the hospital.

Watching Wang Jian’s departing figure, Lehman frowned.

As co-producers, it didn’t make sense for this young author to leave, and yet he had to stay here, right?

Let’s see what he’s up to; if the reason is good, I don’t have to stick around and watch the filming of this garbage script.

So, Lehman instructed the financial staff: "I’m going to see what’s happened; keep an eye on the financial expenditures here."

With that, he also left the production office.

About twenty minutes later, at New York City Hospital, Wang Jian saw red-haired Lynn accompanying Lily.

Lily’s face was tear-streaked, and her blond hair was listlessly hanging behind her head.

"What’s the situation?" Wang Jian asked.

"Acute appendicitis," Lynn looked at Wang Jian. "It’s not a big problem."

At that moment, two more people came over.

One of them was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, and the other was a seductive young girl.

The middle-aged man walked over quickly when he saw Lily and sternly scolded her: "As a mother, you can’t even take care of your child properly."

"And yet you have the nerve to take such high alimony?"

Before Lily could respond, the seductive girl beside the middle-aged man laughed and pointed at Wang Jian.

"Must be using the alimony to keep a toy boy, huh?"

"Look at that little boy holding your ex-wife’s hand, such intimacy. Really, your ex-wife is something else."

Wang Jian was about to speak when Lynn retorted, "You have the gall to criticize Lily? After the divorce, other than paying alimony, how often have you even looked at Gene?"

"When he was having his birthday party, you went on vacation? Ha, what a great father you are."

The middle-aged man’s gaze constantly shifted between Lily, Wang Jian, and Lynn.

Finally, he said bitterly, "Without money, what can you offer Gene with your salary?"

"This communal hospital room?"

Pointing at Wang Jian, he turned to Lily and roared, "If you’re so capable, why don’t you get your little lover to pay to upgrade Gene’s room to a semi-private one?"

"Cough, cough." Wang Jian, caught in the crossfire, felt he couldn’t stand it anymore.

Thus, he pulled out his checkbook and asked the nurse, who was preparing to mediate, "Where do I go to arrange for a room upgrade?"

"Front desk," the nurse said as she saw the argument stop and then turned to leave.

The middle-aged man sneered when he saw Wang Jian take out his checkbook, "Young man, writing a blank check is illegal."

Wang Jian shrugged, paying no mind to him and walked towards the hospital’s front desk.

The Seductive Girl said to Lily’s ex-husband, "Wow, your ex-wife landed herself a rich man. I told you she wasn’t ordinary."

"Bullshit rich man." The middle-aged man pointed at Lily, "The cost for upgrading the room will come out of next month’s alimony."

"Getting a young one is one thing, but getting a swindler on top of it..."

Without waiting for Lily’s reaction, he pulled the Seductive Girl and also headed towards the hospital’s front desk.

But once they reached the front desk, they were surprised to find Wang Jian’s check had been accepted by the hospital.

The Seductive Girl glanced at Wang Jian and whispered to Lily’s ex-husband, "Maybe he really is a wealthy man."

Though Lily’s ex-husband was also somewhat shocked, he stubbornly said, "At most he’s middle-class. Look at what he’s wearing, his shoes?"

"As a middle-income lawyer, I’m dressed more decently than he is."

At that moment, Lehman finally arrived, though belatedly.

He rushed over to see what excuse Wang Jian would come up with to avoid a producer’s job.

"Wang, why are you at the hospital? Feeling unwell?" Lehman asked, while pondering whether he should also "properly" get sick.

"No, it’s a child who is ill." Wang Jian shook his head, "I want to upgrade from a communal ward to a semi-private one."

"Oh." Lehman shook his head disappointedly, then nonchalantly took out a card, "Use mine, this hospital is controlled by the asset management division of Goldman Sachs."

"Goldman Sachs partners can enjoy the top treatments here."

"Uh," Wang Jian shook his head, "Let’s not. I am not an employee of Goldman Sachs, nor is this child."

But Lehman wouldn’t take no for an answer; he finally had an opportunity to flaunt the privileges afforded to Goldman Sachs employees in all aspects.

"It’s okay. As long as the website is fully controlled, the original management can also enjoy these privileges."

"For now, we just need to make a record at the law firm handling private affairs for Goldman Sachs partners," Lehman said, smiling and shaking his phone.

"These humble lawyers will take care of everything for us."

Wang Jian looked at Lehman and shook his head speechlessly.

Truly showboating.

But suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing filled his ears.

"Aha, what a coincidence," Lehman started laughing, "The lawyer who handles my private affairs is also here."

Wang Jian looked up to see Lehman walking towards Lily’s ex-husband.

PS: Hospitals held by the asset management divisions of behemoths like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley might surprise you with their numbers.

And partners of Goldman Sachs, known as the crown of Wall Street...
