Chapter 357: 357 hasn’t gotten the marriage certificate yet.
Moreover, Sun Ling knew that regardless of whether the bosses and Yan Shixiu were married or not, their interactions would hardly change.
“Boss, it’s truly not easy for you to be back with Yan Shixiu, to get to know and affirm each other again. You’ve both experienced a parting through death; no one else needs to ddle or give their input. As long as you’re happy, that’s good. I also believe Yan Shixiu values you more than himself.”
“Wu wu, Boss…”
As Sun Ling spoke, she couldn’t help but beco emotional and threw herself into Shi Lan’s arms.
At this mont, Yan Shixiu, without lifting his head, said, “Isn’t it a bit too much to poach my partner right in front of ?”
“Yan Shixiu, you being able to win back the boss—isn’t my contribution huge?” Sun Ling was not afraid of him at all.
“I’ll double your salary again, can you let go of my wife now?”
“We’re not married yet.”
…
Elsewhere, Xiao Yue, accompanied by Binbin, had changed their flight that had left Moscow last night, so at this mont, they had already arrived at Yancheng International Airport.
After disembarking, Binbin didn’t even go ho but went straight to the company to complain to Yan Ziqing, sitting in Yan Ziqing’s office and crying for half an hour.
Yan Ziqing ignored her. After she had cried enough, she handed her a tissue, saying, “Do you even look like an artist anymore?”
“Yan Shixiu, you didn’t see the grievances I’ve suffered these past two days. Do you know how badly An Lan bullied ? Yue, tell Yan Shixiu.”
Xiao Yue had initially planned, upon returning to the country, to discuss resigning with Yan Ziqing right away.
Because he was very clear that whether it was Binbin or Yan Ziqing, neither could eventually match An Lan. But now, he thought about sticking around to see how exactly An Lan would step by step subdue Yan Ziqing.
Therefore, he went with the flow, intentionally exacerbating the conflict between Binbin and An Lan in front of Yan Ziqing.
“An Lan has sohow managed to convince everyone that she’s very capable, but I know she’s a barely graduated eighteenth-tier artist. If not for her cunning sches, how could she possibly win everyone to her side?”
“I suspect that even her claim of speaking ten foreign languages is just a staged act.”
“Yan Shixiu, An Lan has entirely overshadowed the company, it can’t be ignored any longer. This ti Binbin was bullied by her to an outrageous extent, utterly powerless to respond. If you don’t teach her a lesson now, she will definitely beco lawless in the future.”
Binbin nodded all the way through, completely agreeing.
After listening, Yan Ziqing indeed dismissed it, saying, “She thinks she can compete with ? She shouldn’t overestimate herself just because she luckily defeated the Qu Family brothers and thinks she can beat too. Binbin, you don’t need to waste more ti on An Lan. On the TV station’s side, I’ve already arranged everything, the post-production editing will not be in her favor. You just go and compete.”
“Also, Xiao Yue, since you are An Lan’s broker, there’s sothing else I need to instruct you about.”
Yan Ziqing inford Xiao Yue about the planned audition for “Jade Swallow Hairpin” that she and Han Hao had arranged.
“The audition is at two o’clock this afternoon. An Lan could never make it back in ti. You bring another newcor, and when you et Director Li, just say An Lan looks down on such low-budget productions. She wants to star in big features, then play a double act to introduce the other artist to Director Li.”
After listening, Xiao Yue imdiately agreed, “I know what to do, rest assured, Yan Shixiu.”
An Lan didn’t even have the privilege of knowing about this issue that would offend the film industry’s director.
Xiao Yue thought to himself, Yan Ziqing really is ruthless.
He went ahead with the plan, but he also sent a ssage to Shi Lan, as a warning.
Xiao Yue didn’t know why he was so determined to take An Lan’s side; he just felt that even if one day he faced bankruptcy, he wouldn’t end up in a miserable situation.
Shi Lan hoped An Lan would see his ssage sooner and not let Yan Ziqing’s sche succeed.
But in reality, with more than ten hours of flight ti, how could she possibly catch up?
When the two left Yan Ziqing’s office, Binbin was even more smug, patting Xiao Yue on the shoulder and saying, “Brother Yue, I really owe you one for vouching for in front of Boss Yan. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. I’ll beco famous very soon, and then I’ll ruthlessly trample An Lan underfoot.”
“You’re tired, go ho and rest,” Xiao Yue said indifferently.
“I really didn’t expect Boss Yan to dislike her so much. Wait till she cos back; she’ll see.”
Xiao Yue didn’t want to waste any more ti on Binbin, and he instantly understood why Shi Lan didn’t waste ti on Binbin either, because such people never recognized their faults.
To others, their earnest efforts were just a process of accumulating grievances.
She would never admit her own mistakes; the fault always lay with others.
“Alright, I have things to handle this afternoon. You can head back on your own.”
“I’ll be waiting to watch the drama unfold.” Binbin still hadn’t realized Xiao Yue’s disgust and left cheerfully.
Xiao Yue watched her get into the car, then glanced down at the ti.
Now, less than four hours were left until the “Jade Swallow Hairpin” audition.
…
At 2 p.m., Xiao Yue brought another actor from their company to the building where the “Jade Swallow Hairpin” crew was located for the audition.
This girl was a new artist signed by Yan Ziqing, just graduated from film school, with a pure and charming appearance and the quiet, reserved type who spoke little.
Throughout the journey, aside from reading the script, she didn’t interact much with Xiao Yue.
After arriving at the building, Xiao Yue first checked in with the crew staff: “I am the broker for artist An Lan.”
“Has An Lan arrived yet?” asked the staff mber in charge of scheduling.
“She’s on her way, should be here soon.”
“Alright then, I’ll arrange for her now.” Because Director Xu had instructed that when An Lan arrives, he wanted to audition her personally.
Director Xu liked Shi Lan’s deanor, thus he was keen on casting her for the second female lead, but he also wanted to see her acting skills firsthand.
By then, the “Jade Swallow Hairpin” audition had already reached its halfway mark.
After assigning Xiao Yue a number, the staff directed him to the waiting area to wait for his number to be called.
“Tell An Lan to hurry as much as possible. There aren’t many artists this afternoon, and it will soon be her turn. Director Xu dislikes tardiness,” the staff mber reminded Xiao Yue.
“I understand, thank you,” Xiao Yue thanked the person and then looked at his watch. His heart gradually sank, for he knew An Lan wouldn’t make it in ti.
The audition work of the crew was proceeding systematically, and forty minutes later, it was An Lan’s turn, but she hadn’t arrived yet.
The staff called out twice, then ca over and asked, “What’s happening with An Lan?”
Xiao Yue stood up from the waiting area and told him, “I am An Lan’s broker. Could I et Director Xu, please? I won’t take much of his ti, just one minute.”
