Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Forget it, I believe it is just a cheap role after all. Since you’ve put in a lot of effort to secure it, I’ll hand it over to you! Better ones are waiting for me!” Fang Nuan had slept with the producer several times just to secure the role. So, she thought that Luoluo did the same.
Fang Nuan felt a little better upon thinking about this. She put on her big sunglasses and left with the sound of her high heels clicking behind her.
Fang Nuan and her assistant had just gotten into the company van when her phone started ringing non-stop. Firstly, the call came from her home, asking Fang Nuan if she had offended anyone in particular. Then, calls regarding the celebrity endorsements she had accepted came in as well. All of the endorsements had been canceled.
“How did this happen?” Fang Nuan was on the verge of a breakdown. It was not just her acting career at stake, but her family was also was being attacked financially.
The main reason she could be so arrogant was because of her family’s money. Now, she did not dare to imagine how she would survive in the entertainment industry without the financial support of her family.
On the day of the variety show, Fang Nuan thought that Susu had left her for Luoluo, so she thought of ways to destroy Luoluo’s clothes. She did not expect Du Jiuyuan to always have something up her sleeve, so she did not cause any harm on that day by destroying Luoluo’s clothes.
Du Jiuyuan was the one who told Luoluo about this matter. Luoluo would never let anyone cross her, so she decided to punish Fang Nuan. However, she didn’t do all of this alone. Ji Jingchen had a hand in it as well.
“Trash! All of you are trash! What should I do now?” Fang Nuan grabbed her assistant’s ear and asked rudely as if he was the culprit who had caused her to end up this way.
“Boss… Did you offend someone in particular?” The assistant was helpless. He didn’t resist and continued to carry on his duties with all his heart.
Fang Nuan thought about Luoluo’s debut history. She was no different from her. Her debut was the pinnacle of her career. It seemed like there must be someone supporting Luoluo from behind.
“What should I do now?” Fang Nuan felt that her assistant was still useful. She let go of his ear and softened her tone.
The assistant said, “Didn’t you just buy Ji Jingchen’s phone number? Call him! As long as you can convince him to help you, you won’t have to worry about your future.”
This suggestion made sense, but they would never have thought that Ji Jingchen was personally involved in this matter as well.
Luoluo flew around the studio like a butterfly before sitting down. Susu knocked on the door and entered. She brought in some tea and was just about to leave when Du Jiuyuan stopped her.
“This is your salary that you were supposed to get from Fang Nuan.” Du Jiuyuan wrapped some cash in an envelope and handed it to Susu.
Susu was initially feeling a little uncomfortable, but when she thought about the prospect of regularly meeting Fang Nuan who had frequently insulted her in the future, she felt a little sad. She finally understood what Du Jiuyuan meant.
“Thank you, Boss, but there’s no need for this.” Susu did not take the envelope.
“This is what you deserve. The price she paid for Ji Jingchen’s number was very high. She won’t come here again in the future,” Du Jiuyuan said slowly as she stuffed the envelope into Susu’s hand.
Susu was a little confused. “Why won’t she come again?”
“You don’t need to know about these things. You just need to know that you deserve this money. Besides, I don’t have plenty of employees in the studio right now. When He Lili and I head out to style up our clients, I’ll leave this place to you. After a while, I’ll set up a media account and hand it over to you,” Du Jiuyuan did not explain, instead, she told Susu about her work arrangements.
Du Jiuyuan had taken a liking to Fang Nuan’s new assistant today because even though he was scolded vehemently, he did not have any complaints. His attitude and temper were beyond reproach.
Du Jiuyuan had also heard what the assistant said when he stopped Fang Nuan from attacking Luoluo. It proved that he was a meticulous and conscientious person.
“Thank you, Sister Jiuyuan. I will work hard and do my job well,” Susu promised while patting her chest. Working with a boss like this was a great blessing in her life.
Du Jiuyuan’s lips curled up into a beautiful arc. She glanced at Susu. Susu was quite perceptive. She took the salary that she had just received and left.
Just as the office door closed, Luoluo seemed to have changed into a different person. She pouted and looked cute. “Yuanyuan, you’re such a nice person. I wonder why Ji Jingchen blindly chose to divorce you?”
Luoluo thought that if she were a man, she would definitely not let go of Du Jiuyuan’s hand and would never divorce her no matter what.
“Why do you say so?” Du Jiuyuan said.
Luoluo felt that there was nothing wrong with her question. She paused for a moment before saying, “I’m not a man, but if I were, I would definitely chase after you.”
Du Jiuyuan said, “No thank you! I don’t want to be the next target of Ling Jin.”
