CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 388: I WOULDN’T WANT YOUR DESPERATE ADVANCES EVEN IF YOU PAID ME!

Chen Xixi didn’t trust a single punctuation mark.

Just by Zheng He’s nature, a job would be enough to send him off?

Impossible, if Zheng He didn’t extort a large sum from Xu Nianying, he wouldn’t deserve to be called Zheng He!

Chen Xixi didn’t say much, after all, she disdained getting down and dirty with Zheng He.

She definitely didn’t want to be dragged down by Zheng He when he went after Xu Nianying’s 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 I’ve recently signed, I’ll consider retiring from the industry."

If everything goes smoothly with the investments and the new company is on track, she wouldn’t need to work from dawn till dusk every day. Wouldn’t it be more profitable to be the boss?

Zheng He couldn’t close his mouth with joy: "Sure, sure, sure! Then I’ll 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 wouldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 Yun’s 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 episode’s worth of advertising in the drama!

That’s right, she knew how to adapt to circumstances!

There’s no problem that money can’t solve; if there is, then it’s because there’s 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 I’ll 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, she’s 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 Jingjing’s gaze.

Wu Jingjing looked down at her with a haughty face: "Did you hear what I just said?"

Chen Xixi frowned slightly: "I’ve memorized the script already."

Although the script wasn’t long, switching people suddenly was annoying, and it’s not like she had wrecked the scene.

Wasn’t this clearly snatching her job?

Wu Jingjing snorted coldly, with a hint of mockery in her laughter: "Memorizing it is useless, it’s me who’s taking over now, I’m just here to inform you."

After speaking, Wu Jingjing turned around and left.

Chen Xixi watched Wu Jingjing’s retreating figure, unable to resist complaining: "She’s so pretentious."

The agent Li Jia whispered: "Don’t mess with her, she’s Tianyu Media’s darling, an actress that Tianyu Media is heavily promoting, with a powerful background!"

"Why don’t they let their darling play the lead role?"

"That’s because they’re afraid the netizens won’t buy it, right? So, they’re 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?"

"We’re definitely asking for that, but the penalty fee is nothing compared to being valued by the sponsor, in the end, we’re still at a loss. But there’s nothing we can do; if the sponsor wants to change people, we don’t 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 doesn’t 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.

I’m 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 can’t do anything, Tianyu is only second to Nanxing in the entertainment industry, and Wu Jingjing’s connections are tougher than ours..."

Chen Xixi understood, she lifted her hand to pat Li Jia’s shoulder, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips: "No worries! We don’t rely on connections, we rely on talent!"

She had connections too, but she felt that for such a small matter, it wasn’t 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, they’re 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 don’t want to act with him; he can’t 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 Jingjing’s gaze and squinted her eyes, realizing who Wu Jingjing was complaining about, the salesperson who couldn’t explain the products and wanted to take the opportunity to be sleazy.

Wasn’t that Wan Chen!

Hearing Wu Jingjing’s words, Wan Chen couldn’t 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 weren’t 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 employee’s work achievements. What taking advantage of you? I wouldn’t be keen even if you were offering yourself to me!"

Wu Jingjing laughed too, her mocking eyes swept over Wan Chen’s 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 isn’t even enough to buy me a bag. Do you think anyone would believe what you’re saying? To make me offer myself to you, you should also first look in the mirror to see if you are capable of that. You’d better work hard for a few more lifetimes!"
