Chapter 6 - Having a Secret Affair is Not Acceptable
“So, that scumbag Lu Zongye is trying to set me up again?” Jiang Yuning suddenly thought of what her former agent had told her over the phone previously. Lu Zongye wanted to set her up and use her scandal to divert the public’s attention away from his upcoming engagement to the famous actress, Huo Yuxi.
“What do you plan to do then?”
“I will make an appointment and go for it,” Jiang Yuning replied coolly. “But brother, I would like to bring a paparazzo with me and I want him to be equipped with a miniature camera.”
“Why would you want to do that? Aren’t you going to be his second sister-in-law soon?” Ku Jie asked sarcastically.
“Lu Jingzhi and I are having a secret affair. Don’t you know that a secret affair is not acceptable?” Jiang Yuning said as she rolled her eyes. If she wanted it to sound good, she could say that she was his sister-in-law, but truthfully, she was just a mistress that Lu Jingzhi was secretly having an affair with.
“At least you still know that what you are doing is not acceptable. Little Ning, it is not too late to back out of it now—”
“No, it is already too late,” Jiang Yuning replied in a serious tone. “Brother, hurry up and find me a paparazzi that would not stand out. I need to bring him with me along to the appointment. Let’s see what that scumbag Lu Zongye is up to this time.”
“It is your good fortune that you are able to be sacrificed for Zongye and me.” After she had spoken, Huo Yuxi turned around to look at the chairman. “Miss Jiang, as long as you promise to give us some good material, I assure you that I will offer you a contract of employment with Zhen Yang Media. After all, you know for yourself that there is no company who would be willing to sign you now, Jiang Yuning.”
“What kind of material are you expecting?” Jiang Yuning asked as soon as she heard the chairman’s words.
“Maybe you—you can spend the night with a dark-skinned man, or maybe you can do something else that would draw a lot of attention to yourself,” Huo Yuxi said as she looked at Jiang Yuning. “This is probably your only way out this time. If you do what we ask you to, at least you would still able to live your own life. However, if you refuse to compromise and give in to our request, then I suppose you understand what would happen to you once you have incurred Zongye’s wrath.”
“Alright then, give me the contract,” Jiang Yuning said eagerly. She quickly took a pen and began writing, ‘go screw yourself’ on the contract. “Take it.”
