Director Li said, looking troubled, "Everyone knows Yuanqi Entertainnt is a powerhouse for TV dramas, so when they sent over the *Qing Qing Wo Wo* project, they only gave us two slots. Kang Naixin had already reserved them. If you give a slot to Shen Zhiyao now, Miss Kang will be furious..."
Kang Naixin had always ruled the roost at Yuanqi Entertainnt, treating the company like her own family’s business.
Recently, her and Zhou Ye’s reputations had taken a hit. They couldn’t land any acting roles at all, so they set their sights on variety shows.
She had searched for a long ti, and only *Qing Qing Wo Wo* was a good match for her status.
If she perford well, Kang Naixin could win back a wave of public appeal.
That’s why Kang Naixin had reserved the slots long ago.
Director Li was just about to submit the artists’ nas when Jin Fan parachuted in with Shen Zhiyao.
Jin Fan asked, "Who’s in charge of Yuanqi Entertainnt now?"
Director Li kept his head down and answered ekly, "You... you are."
"Hmph, as long as you know!" Without another word, Jin Fan started a video conference and made a formal announcent: From this day forward, all matters at Yuanqi Entertainnt would be handled by Jin Fan.
Just then, Kang Naixin burst through the door. "Uncle! You have to do sothing about Jin Fan! He..."
But she didn’t see Jin Huai Zhong. She saw Jin Fan.
Kang Naixin’s brow tightened. "What are you doing here? I heard Mr. Jin was back. Tell him to co see !"
"Mr. Jin? Are you referring to ?" Jin Fan said, crossing his legs, as smug as soone who’d just struck it rich. "To be honest, my dad has already handed Yuanqi Entertainnt over to . Kang Naixin, I’m your boss now. From now on, you’d better show so respect when you talk to , got it? Director Li, how many years is her contract for?"
Director Li answered, "She signed a twenty-year contract."
Kang Naixin had also signed a special contract, but it only stipulated that the company wouldn’t take a commission from her earnings; it made no guarantees about resources.
’Back then,’ Kang Naixin thought, ’it’s my aunt’s family business anyway. If I want sothing, wouldn’t a single word from my aunt be enough?’
But now, with Jin Fan as the boss, things were different.
She hurriedly pulled out her phone to call Kang Lin.
Jin Fan leaned in and said with a wicked grin, "Didn’t you know? Kang Lin and Jin Huai Zhong got divorced. She probably won’t have the face to use this phone number anymore!"
"Oh, and another thing! That variety show, *Qing Qing Wo Wo*? I’ve already decided to send soone else."
Jin Fan glanced sideways at Shen Zhiyao and said snidely, "From now on, Miss Shen will be the rising starlet Yuanqi Entertainnt is putting all its weight behind! This show, *Qing Qing Wo Wo*, will be our starlet’s stage debut!"
Jin Fan’s tone shifted. "As for you, Kang Naixin, you’ll either be shelved or you’ll be playing bit parts. What happens to your career depends entirely on my mood! Oh, right. Those endorsent deals you lost? You’ll be covering the damages yourself. As for the penalty fees and all that, you can pay them on your own!"
Fuming, Kang Naixin gritted her teeth and pulled out her phone to call Jin Huai Zhong.
’My uncle has always looked out for . He would never stand by and watch Jin Fan bully like this.’
But at that mont, Jin Huai Zhong’s tone was terrifyingly cold. "Since Yuanqi Entertainnt has been handed over to Jin Fan, you’ll be under his managent from now on. Also, your aunt and I are divorced. We are no longer related, so don’t call ’Uncle’ anymore!"
With that, Jin Huai Zhong hung up.
Kang Naixin was instantly dumbfounded.
Zhou Ye also felt like the sky was falling. He originally thought he had successfully latched onto a Huang Tai Nu, but now he realized Kang Naixin could barely save herself.
"Xiao Fan!" Kang Naixin’s expression instantly switched to a fawning smile. "Xiao Fan, even if my aunt and your father are divorced, we’re still cousins! Think about how good your big sister was to you when you were little! You can’t let a little misunderstanding with soone else ruin the relationship between us."
Zhou Ye quickly chid in, "That’s right! That’s right! Look how good your sister is to you! She even talks about you in her dreams every night. The past is in the past. For old tis’ sake, please forgive Nai Xin."
Jin Fan was amused by their bowing and scraping. His eyes darted around as a wicked idea suddenly struck him.
"Alright then, I’ll give you one more chance!"
Jin Fan sized up Zhou Ye with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.
Recently, Zhou Ye and Kang Naixin had been getting very close. Everyone in the company knew they were having an affair.
But everyone at the company was afraid of Kang Naixin’s status, so no one ever dared to say it out loud.
Jin Fan was heard saying, "However, there’s only one slot left for the variety show *Qing Qing Wo Wo*. Who on earth should I give it to?"
Jin Fan’s gaze shifted back and forth between Zhou Ye and Kang Naixin. "You two originally planned to go together, but now that I’ve given one of the slots to Miss Shen, there’s only one left. How do you plan to divide it?"
Kang Naixin used to look down on variety shows. But ever since the incident where she bullied a colleague ca to light, she couldn’t get any acting roles, her endorsent deals were all canceled one after another, and she had endless fines to pay.
If she didn’t use a variety show to make a coback soon, she might really be crushed by Yuanqi Entertainnt for good.
Kang Naixin imdiately snatched the invitation from the show’s production team out of Jin Fan’s hand and looked at Zhou Ye with contempt. "He’s just a pet I keep. He can only go on the show if I let him~"
"Since I’m in a bit of a tight spot myself right now, this ticket to the show should just go to !" Kang Naixin said, covering her face with a coy smile.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Ye snatched the invitation into his own hands and said, "Let go!"
Kang Naixin stared coldly at Zhou Ye. "What? The dog I keep wants to fight for resources?"
Zhou Ye grabbed Kang Naixin’s hand and said in an almost pleading tone, "Nai Xin, I haven’t had any work for months. In a few more months, my career will be over! But you’re different. You’re Mr. Jin’s sister. You’ll definitely have countless resources in the future."
Jin Fan said, "You two are drowning in scandals right now. If you can’t clean up your images, you won’t get any resources in the future! And that includes Kang Naixin."
The variety show was their only chance.
Kang Naixin knew Jin Fan was deliberately trying to ss with her, but at this point, she had no choice but to fight for it.
So, she imdiately started fighting with Zhou Ye over it.
Jin Fan said dismissively, "If you two are going to fight, take it outside. I’m in no mood to watch this drama of you two fighting over resources!"
Before leaving, Zhou Ye took a long, deep look at Shen Zhiyao.
Shen Zhiyao was sitting there in a light blue qipao, sipping her milk tea. The midday sun was just right, spilling over her, adding a touch of brightness to her normally cool and aloof face.
A single glance made Zhou Ye’s heart pound uncontrollably. For a mont, he actually regretted breaking up with Shen Zhiyao.
After the two left, Jin Fan made several more cups of milk tea for Shen Zhiyao. "Great-Grandmother, wasn’t my coback against them just now so satisfying?"
"Are you talking about Zhou Ye?"
Jin Fan nodded. "He used and abandoned you back then, only to end up with that old, ugly Kang Naixin. I get angry just thinking about it! Since they’re in cahoots, I’m going to drive a wedge between them and make them turn on each other!"
"A re Zhou Ye isn’t worthy of my anger." Shen Zhiyao took a few more sips of milk tea, her tone flat, as if Zhou Ye were nothing more than an ant beneath her feet.
Jin Fan had expected praise from Shen Zhiyao, but she showed no reaction at all, and he felt a little disappointed for a mont.
Shen Zhiyao gave Jin Fan a faint smile. "However, I do appreciate the sentint!"
Jin Fan’s mood brightened again. "Great-Grandmother, why don’t you do a reading and see if they’ll actually co to blows over this resource?"
