After Boss Jia returned, he received a call from Zhou Lang. “President Su said that we won’t be working together this time.”
With that, he was about to hang up.
He was only calling to inform Boss Jia, not to discuss.
Boss Jia panicked. “Special a.s.sistant Zhou, please tell me what’s going on. If there’s a problem, can we fix it?”
Although he was a big shot in the investment world, his project also needed higher-level investment. Su Zhuoqian was a resource that he had fought to the death for a long time. They had been interacting for so long, and he really couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to cooperate.
“This is what President Su wants. There’s no need to fix anything. Goodbye, Boss Jia,” Zhou Lang said indifferently.
Obviously, to Su Zhuoqian, Boss Jia’s project was dispensable. It did not matter if he invested in it or not.
However, to Boss Jia, it was not easy to find a partner like Su Zhuoqian.
He recalled trying to force Weiyang to drink a gla.s.s of white wine. He already had a vague guess in his heart.
Regardless of whether Su Zhuoqian liked Qiao Weiyang or if his drinking behavior was too lowly in his eyes, he had already left an indelible impression on Su Zhuoqian.
Boss Jia regretted it so much that he wished he had not attended that gathering.
However, now that things had come to this and Su Zhuoqian had already rejected him, it was impossible to salvage the situation.
On Zhao Xinshu’s side, with the support of Boss Jia, she was in the limelight for a while.
The director informed her to dub the movie that had just completed filming.
Zhao Xinshu and her manager came over together.
When she was dubbing, she realized that her scenes were ridiculously few.
During filming, she didn’t realize anything was wrong. But when she was dubbing, she realized she only had a few words.
“What’s going on?” Zhao Xinshu was very angry. She questioned the dubbing director, “Where are all my scenes?”
The dubbing director shook his head. “I don’t know either. When I received the files, there were only this many scenes. I can only suggest that you ask the executive director.”
Zhao Xinshu asked her manager to call the executive director to ask.
The executive director was also very good at beating about the bush. “Xinshu, this was the investors’ idea. I can’t do anything about it. You know as well that I’m just a worker.”
Zhao Xinshu had no choice but to call Boss Jia. She cried, “Boss Jia, can you help me look for the director? The scenes I shot this time were almost all erased…”
Boss Jia’s own investment was gone. How could he care about her?
Moreover, after he got his hands on her, he realized that she was only so-so, especially compared to Qiao Weiyang. He had long lost interest in her looks.
“I can’t deal with this kind of thing, so don’t bother me anymore. I’m already very annoyed. If you can solve it, then solve it yourself. If you can’t, then forget it. Anyway, you’ve already gotten your remuneration. Why do you care if you have many scenes?”
“But Boss Jia…”
“I’m busy. Don’t call me anymore.”
Zhao Xinshu held her phone, dumbfounded. Boss Jia’s disdain for her was obvious, but she had no idea what she had done wrong to receive such treatment and end up like this!
Hadn’t everything been fine before?
…
After Qiao Weiyang finished dubbing the movie, she rested for a while and was about to move on to her second schedule for the day..
It was an entertainment variety show called ‘I Am an Actor.’ It starred many artists from various levels until the champion was chosen in the finals. It was a very good platform to show the audience their acting skills.
What Qiao Weiyang had to do was design clothes for the actors and use her popularity to help this show.
This was a win-win situation for her and the program.
At this moment, she was looking at the program information and the actors’ information. She tried her best to memorize everything so that she could be prepared.
When she saw one of the actresses, she specially picked out her photo.
When Tao Huan saw this, she smiled and said, “This actress is quite pretty. She’s so obedient. It’s just that there are very few opportunities for her to appear in the early stages of the show.”
“Xinyue… Her name sounds a little familiar,” Qiao Weiyang said.
“Yes, I’m familiar with her. She only showed her face a few times in the early stages, but she already gained a lot of fans. She’s incredibly cute. I’m about to start adoring her like a mom to her child,” Tao Huan said sincerely.
Qiao Weiyang knocked her head. “How old are you? Why would you act like a mom?”
“That’s different. I just want to be a mom when I see cute and loving people. For example, I’m Xinyue’s mom fan and your girlfriend fan.”
Qiao Weiyang couldn’t stop laughing. She took a photo of Xinyue and sent it to Su Zhuoqian. “Come, take a look at this young lady.”
Su Zhuoqian: “…”
Qiao Weiyang: “Her name is Xinyue. Her eyes are a little similar to yours. The name Xinyue is also very familiar, right?”
Su Zhuoqian said, “It’s indeed my sister. Back then, she wanted to enter the entertainment industry but was suppressed by our family. She persisted until she finished university and came out of the family. Currently, she’s already filmed two dramas, but they haven’t been aired yet. This time, she entered the entertainment industry without the protection of anyone in our family. She doesn’t want anyone to interfere for her, so…”
Qiao Weiyang could already imagine his helpless expression.
She replied, “You mean that even if I join this program, I don’t have to care about her at all?”
Su Zhuoqian said, “As long as it doesn’t involve her being physically harmed, you don’t have to care about her. She wants to work hard on her own, and Mom and Dad think that it’s a good thing. If she can make it, it means that she’s hardworking and talented. This is a path that suits her. If she can’t make it, she can still go home.”
Qiao Weiyang: “I understand.”
Her two dramas had not been aired yet. It was no wonder that she was partic.i.p.ating in this show, but she had been tricked by the editing even though she managed to garner some attention. She did not have many scenes added up.
Qiao Weiyang shook her head. Just like everyone who had just entered the workplace, the early struggles were all difficult.
She picked up the photo again and took a look. The young lady in the photo was full of youth. When she smiled, her eyes curved slightly. She was sweet and pure like a little sweetheart. Just looking at her made Qiao Weiyang feel good.
No wonder there was the concept of mom fans.
The next day, Qiao Weiyang went to the set of I Am an Actor to meet everyone.
The show was already in its second half. There were still seven actors left. Other than Xinyue, there were six others. There was no lack of popular female celebrities, veteran actors who wanted to return to the public eye, and some actors who had not found an opportunity to showcase themselves.
After seeing Qiao Weiyang, everyone was quite polite to her, the new Best Actress.
“h.e.l.lo, my name is Zhang Xi,” a woman said. She had a few a.s.sistants beside her and looked very imposing.
Qiao Weiyang recognized her. Zhang Xi was currently starring in more than ten big investment dramas. She was the female lead in all of them, so the broadcast effect was not bad.
