Chapter 396 - 388: I Wouldnât Want Your Desperate Advances Even If You Paid Me!
Chen Xixi didnât trust a single punctuation mark.
Just by Zheng Heâs nature, a job would be enough to send him off?
Impossible, if Zheng He didnât extort a large sum from Xu Nianying, he wouldnât deserve to be called Zheng He!
Chen Xixi didnât say much, after all, she disdained getting down and dirty with Zheng He.
She definitely didnât want to be dragged down by Zheng He when he went after Xu Nianyingâs sewing machine.
She just occasionally dropped hints here and there, the rest was up to what Zheng He could achieve on his own.
Chen Xixi said, "Okay, once I finish the contract Iâve recently signed, Iâll consider retiring from the industry."
If everything goes smoothly with the investments and the new company is on track, she wouldnât need to work from dawn till dusk every day. Wouldnât it be more profitable to be the boss?
Zheng He couldnât close his mouth with joy: "Sure, sure, sure! Then Iâll wait for you to retire!"
This one hundred million seemed too easy to earn!
As long as Chen Xixi retired, he could go to Xu Nianying to claim credit, saying that Chen Xixi had been forced out of the industry by him with leverage in his hands, and the credit would be all his!
Money in hand, without offending either side!
It was so easy that he even felt like doing more work for Xu Nianying, otherwise, he wouldnât feel secure about the money he had obtained!
Zheng He happily hung up the phone, already planning out the one hundred million.
With this small goal, he would start a company!
If Chen Xixi could start one, so could he!
He couldnât lose to Chen Xixi; he too wanted to be a big boss!
...
The supporting actress role Chen Xixi played this time was the one Hu Yun had gotten through her stepfather, but after Hu Yunâs incident, the company passed the role to her.
It was a marriage-themed drama, and as the supporting actress, what Chen Xixi needed to do was to eliminate all obstacles for the leading lady, acting as the wealthiest and smartest best friend the heroine could have.
Then, as the heroine got pregnant and ran, she, the supporting actress, had to take care of the child for the heroine.
Next came the most crucial moment, the appearance of the heavyweight Guest, the sugar daddy of the drama, Beile Baby Products.
During the shoot, all the baby products that Chen Xixi bought for the child were Beile brand, and she even had a segment for an advertisement.
If she had been watching a drama in the past, she would have ranted about an ad break like this, claiming that she paid for VIP to skip ads, but then they put the advertisement in the drama itself?
Utterly malicious!
So unsightly!
But now! She was getting paid for the advertisement, she could even say a whole episodeâs worth of advertising in the drama!
Thatâs right, she knew how to adapt to circumstances!
Thereâs no problem that money canât solve; if there is, then itâs because thereâs not enough money!
But just as she had memorized her advertising lines, the actress playing the third female lead approached her: "Stop memorizing, the director just said that Iâll be reciting the ad lines in this part."
The actress playing the third female lead was a short-haired girl, who, in the drama, had a tight three-way friendship with her and the leading lady.
The short-haired girl is Wu Jingjing, an artist under Tianyu, quite a proud girl, not very approachable at a glance, and indeed, sheâs quite difficult to contact in reality.
Chen Xixi was sitting on a stool, holding the advertisement script in her hand, looking up to meet Wu Jingjingâs gaze.
Wu Jingjing looked down at her with a haughty face: "Did you hear what I just said?"
Chen Xixi frowned slightly: "Iâve memorized the script already."
Although the script wasnât long, switching people suddenly was annoying, and itâs not like she had wrecked the scene.
Wasnât this clearly snatching her job?
Wu Jingjing snorted coldly, with a hint of mockery in her laughter: "Memorizing it is useless, itâs me whoâs taking over now, Iâm just here to inform you."
After speaking, Wu Jingjing turned around and left.
Chen Xixi watched Wu Jingjingâs retreating figure, unable to resist complaining: "Sheâs so pretentious."
The agent Li Jia whispered: "Donât mess with her, sheâs Tianyu Mediaâs darling, an actress that Tianyu Media is heavily promoting, with a powerful background!"
"Why donât they let their darling play the lead role?"
"Thatâs because theyâre afraid the netizens wonât buy it, right? So, theyâre taking it step by step," said Li Jia, "The sponsor deciding who to feature in the advertisements shows who has traffic, who has commercial value. Her snatching our ad script this time is probably to boost her own commercial value."
Chen Xixi only cared about money: "With this situation, I should be able to ask Beile for a breach of contract fee, right?"
"Weâre definitely asking for that, but the penalty fee is nothing compared to being valued by the sponsor, in the end, weâre still at a loss. But thereâs nothing we can do; if the sponsor wants to change people, we donât have a say, after all, they are the ones paying."
Chen Xixi looked at the advertisement script in her hand, "Now that you mention it, the penalty fee suddenly doesnât seem so appealing."
She felt like she had lost a significant wealth.
Li Jia sighed and offered her advice with years of experience in the entertainment industry: "This kind of thing is too common in the entertainment industry. Not just in our industry, even in ordinary jobs, when a good opportunity arises, everyone wants to fight for it, and at that time, it depends on who has a stronger background.
Iâm not trying to not help you, if it were someone else, I might still be able to use some connections to try, but with Wu Jingjing, I really canât do anything, Tianyu is only second to Nanxing in the entertainment industry, and Wu Jingjingâs connections are tougher than ours..."
Chen Xixi understood, she lifted her hand to pat Li Jiaâs shoulder, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips: "No worries! We donât rely on connections, we rely on talent!"
She had connections too, but she felt that for such a small matter, it wasnât worth involving her boyfriend, who should be used at critical moments to have a major impact!
Then, she continued to ask: "Where is the person in charge from Beile?"
They were supposed to film a scene today where they buy products in a mother and baby store, so the Beile Group would definitely send someone over.
Li Jia pointed to the mother and baby store across the street, "Over there in the store, theyâre confirming the placement of the products to be featured on camera."
As soon as Li Jia finished speaking, Chen Xixi got up and walked towards the entrance of the store marked Beile Mother and Baby Store.
Upon entering the store, she saw Wu Jingjing and the director also there, discussing with the person in charge from Beile how to move, how to showcase the products in the TV show for better publicity.
Wu Jingjing wrapped her arms around her chest, chin lifted as she said, "Get me another salesperson, I donât want to act with him; he canât even introduce the products properly, affecting my filming time, and he even touched my arm just now, I seriously suspect he wanted to take advantage of the situation."
Chen Xixi followed Wu Jingjingâs gaze and squinted her eyes, realizing who Wu Jingjing was complaining about, the salesperson who couldnât explain the products and wanted to take the opportunity to be sleazy.
Wasnât that Wan Chen!
Hearing Wu Jingjingâs words, Wan Chen couldnât help but laugh in anger, he had been clean for twenty-five years, and now his reputation was being ruined by some ordinary-looking girl!
Wan Chen: "I touched your arm? If it werenât for you almost knocking over the promotion products in our store when you entered, would I have reached out to you? Besides, that was me protecting our employeeâs work achievements. What taking advantage of you? I wouldnât be keen even if you were offering yourself to me!"
Wu Jingjing laughed too, her mocking eyes swept over Wan Chenâs body; other than his face and figure, he was nothing much.
She said with contempt: "You? Wearing a mother and baby store sales apron, you look like a sissy, and your monthly wage isnât even enough to buy me a bag. Do you think anyone would believe what youâre saying? To make me offer myself to you, you should also first look in the mirror to see if you are capable of that. Youâd better work hard for a few more lifetimes!"
Just by Zheng Heâs nature, a job would be enough to send him off?
Impossible, if Zheng He didnât extort a large sum from Xu Nianying, he wouldnât deserve to be called Zheng He!
Chen Xixi didnât say much, after all, she disdained getting down and dirty with Zheng He.
