The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant

Chapter 77: 077: Double Standards

Director Xu of the Artist Department was someone who was known for being extremely strict, especially when it came to artists who were still rising.

Therefore, Jing Qian’s sudden appearance was just her asking for trouble. Everyone around was just waiting to see what would happen to her.

“Qianqian, why were you so late?”

Although she had been mercilessly played last night by Jing Qian, Una realised what was most important to her now after thinking about it the entire night.

Men were useless and women could only count on themselves.

Plus, today was an extremely important day. As soon as the agreement was made that Qin Yi was the first male lead and Jing Lu was second female lead, she would be able to get commissions from three different companies.

However, ever since Qin Yi got caught yesterday morning, Jing Qian had blocked his number. No matter how much Qin Yi tried calling her, Jing Qian wouldn’t budge.

Una was finally aware of the catastrophic impact Qin Yi’s derailment might bring to their future.

If Jing Qian had completely given up on Qin Yi because of this matter, they would never be able to get any resources from the Zhan family.

When she realized that her smooth road ahead had instantly turned muddy, and there may even be a possibility of it being a dead road, Una became worried. Therefore, she changed from her usual arrogant ways and looked at Jing Qian, who walked in like a breeze during spring, and with a thick face, made up an excuse for her lateness.

“Why do you look so pale today? Are you sick?”

“Sister Una, look at Jing Qian’s rosy cheeks. Why would you say that she looks pale? Why do I feel that she looks so good that she couldn’t be any better?”

The person who spoke up was called Yang Yinli, a dancer who was also the leader of a girl group known as the Aurora Girls.

They weren’t close. From the few memories that she had, she remembered that the only time that they were together was in a show called ‘Dancing Youth.’

However, they weren’t even from the same company before this. About a month ago, she got married into the Zhan family, and with their help, she ended her contract with Zhongze Entertainment. Then, she ended up being an artist at Zhongbo Entertainment.

After thinking about it for a while, she didn’t remember how and why she had offended this lady.

Just when the machine got fully loaded with bullets and was in ‘roasting’ mode, Director Xu Yan from the Artist Department spoke up instead.

“You were sick, but still decided to come to the company despite feeling uncomfortable. That is something commendable. There’s another important project meeting that you have to attend after this, so please be prepared.”

Everyone else was surprised.

F**k! Could the double standards be any more obvious?

Just a while back, Yang Yinli was only late by two minutes, but she had ended up with a fine and a huge lecture from Xu Yan. Yet, when Jing Qian was about half an hour late, this devil let it go so easily. Not only did he not scream at her, he even complimented her.

Anyone with a good pair of eyes would be able to see that there was nothing wrong with Jing Qian, it was just an excuse that Una gave!

Seeing that Xu Yan had already helped her with the ‘roast,’ Jing Qian stopped herself from roasting Yang Yinli herself. She glanced at her, then walked away with her head held high.

With regards to unimportant people, the only reason why she would talk to her was because Jing Qian hated being provoked or challenged. However, since someone else had already done it for her, there was no need for her to waste her time with these people.

“Qianqian, Director Xu had already arranged an office for you, which is just like a suite. From now on, we will have our own personal office. Come, I’ll show you your new office.”

Una’s behavior today was extremely nice, and there were also hints of a truce.

She never said anything about the pictures that Jing Qian had sent last night, which caused chaos within her family.
