Chapter 87 - What do you think?
Zhan Yihe asked in a stern tone, “Although Jing Qian’s matters are entirely decided by Una, does that mean that even if Una decided to sell off Jing Qian, you would still help her? The private agreement that they had, was it notarised? If it wasn’t, then it’s deemed invalid. Why would she have the right to decide for Jing Qian?”
When Una heard what was said, she turned pale.
Jing Qian had been an extremely obedient girl before this and was Qin Yi’s puppet. Therefore, she didn’t even bother doing anything more than necessary. As for the agreement, it was only made to scare this little girl since Jing Qian was gullible and she didn’t know anything about these.
Who knew that Jing Qian had turned into a completely different person because of the affair?
As a manager, she clearly knew that the private agreement that she had with Jing Qian was completely unequal. However, Jing Qian had been so obedient before this that she never expected that it would cause any problems.
But at this point, it was brought up by Zhan Yihe.
Director He was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat all over and said, “Yes, yes. I did not do my best regarding this matter. I should have asked Jing Qian personally.
“But back then, Una said that ‘Mirror World’ was a drama that had two first male leads and it would be better if we used the well-known actor, Yunxiang, along with Qin Yi, who is a rising idol. It would make the drama even more attractive. Even if our company invested millions into this show, we would be able to gain more profit this way. However, Jing Qian was just a new artist. In order to prevent getting hated by the fans and to not ruin the show, she recommended a substitute.”
“Una is the aunt of Qin Yi, the new rising artist, which is why she hopes that he would be able to play the first male lead. As for the second female lead, it would be played by Jing Qian’s younger sister, which is also related to Jing Qian. Therefore, Huanrui raised a proposal that they would agree to this if we gave them the first female lead and we would give up on 20% of our investment in this show.
“Una said that Jing Qian had an agreement with her where she would be allowed to make the final call. So, I immediately came to an agreement with Huanrui.
“Director Yi, the main problem here is that Jing Qian is still a new artist and I don’t know her that well yet. Is it possible for us to just forget about this?”
Director He turned to Jing Qian and made a 90 degree bow. He apologised to her and said, “Jing Qian, it’s true that the Operating Department did not deal with this in the right way. I promise that I will change from now on! I hope that you’ll be able to forgive the mistakes that I’ve made.”
Una quickly followed after. “Qianqian, I’m really sorry regarding this matter. But, you were the one who promised Qin Yi before this and even your parents. I assumed that because you had been so filial to them, so I immediately agreed to put Jing Lu as the second female lead when they called. Huanrui Entertainment is one of the top three companies in the entertainment industry, on par with Zhongbo even. Since we’ve already come to an agreement with Huanqui regarding this matter, why don’t we just forget about this? I promise to get you a better role in the future. What do you think?”
“You assumed?” Jing Qian sneered at Una. “Hmmmm, what should I do then? The thing that you assumed was not what I wanted. If you can’t return the role of the first female lead to me, then you better start preparing the money for the compensation!”
Una had already been ‘attacked’ by Jing Qian so many times this morning that she could no longer put on a fake smile. Her face was incredibly ugly at this point.
Jing Qian turned and looked at Director He. “How many years have you been working as the Vice Director? Did you turn into a garbage bin because you’ve been eating sh*t all this while? Is it that you didn’t think of contacting me directly, or that you couldn’t even bother? Did you really think that it wouldn’t be a big deal if you bullied me? I’m just a new artist in the eyes of the ‘great’ Director He. So, as long as everyone else is happy, it wouldn’t matter even if you offended me. You thought that it was still a good deal after all.”
Jing Qian suddenly turned and asked Zhan Yihe, who had been silent throughout the entire scene, “Director Yi, what do you think?”
