"Mr. Wang, as long as you help me deal with Yan Jinyi, I will definitely be devoted to you," Cheng Ruoxue said in a dainty and gentle voice, which was extremely pleasant to his ears.
Wang Jianhang smiled lewdly and said, "Baby, shall we get cozy with each other tonight?"
Although there was a look of disgust in Cheng Ruoxue's eyes, she was still smiling.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to know that she might lose her backer, Huo Zihang, at any time. Hence, she had been keeping Wang Jianhang on the hook and tempting him.
Wang Jianhang was the live-in son-in-law of the Han Family who had married the daughter of the Han Family for the sake of a promising career.
On the surface, he was a good husband but actually...
Hmph!
'I have to look for a better backer sooner or later.'

Yan Jinyi did not expect the slap that she had given Cheng Ruoxue at the press conference would bring her some job opportunities.
A local reputable skincare brand had offered her an endorsement deal for their products.
Yan Jinyi did not have a personal manager. The manager who was in charge of her was also handling more than twenty other newbies who were all more famous than Yan Jinyi.
"The first time I saw you, I thought it was a pity that you were not in the entertainment industry since you've got such a pretty face. However, I didn't expect that you'd still be in the doldrums three years after joining the entertainment industry. Great, now you've become famous because of violence," the middle-aged woman said as she patted Yan Jinyi's shoulder. "You've come to the end of your suffering. Although the endorsement fees are not high for this brand, it's a good opportunity for you to advance to the next level..."
Looking at the woman in front of her, Yan Jinyi couldn't be bothered to even smile at her.
That woman's name was Li Hua, and she was a mercenary person.
Based on the original owner's memory, she knew that that woman had created plenty of trouble for her in the past, and this time, she probably had a sudden and drastic change in attitude because she had seen Huo Zihang's Weibo post.
"How much will I be paid for the endorsement?"
In the past, Yan Jinyi would never ask about her remuneration. Hence, Li Hua was slightly stunned and the look in her eyes became a little guilty when she gazed at Yan Jinyi.
She covered her lips and coughed, and began to feign ignorance. "It'll definitely be at least tens of thousands of yuan. Well, you know very well that the company has invested a lot in you in the past three years. The company will not do business that brings us losses. Now that you have the ability to make money, you must first repay the company."
'Repay the company?'
"We'll follow the contract then. I shall receive 150,000 yuan as remuneration. A single cent less and I'll see you in court."
Yan Jinyi immediately cut Li Hua off and glanced at her coldly.
150,000 yuan may be considered peanuts to other celebrities but not to her!
She was in need of money!
She was still waiting to rebuild her turf!
Li Hua's expression changed and she stared at Yan Jinyi with a frown. Just as she was about to chide her, Yan Jinyi suddenly stood up to leave the meeting room without even turning around.
Staring at Yan Jinyi's back, she secretly clenched her fists.
'It seems that Yan Jinyi has really changed.'
'What a joke. The total remuneration offered is only 150,000 yuan. If I give her everything, what am I going to get?'
'Does she really think she can throw her weight around and put on airs just because she has gotten into the good books of Third Young Master Huo?'
After Yan Jinyi was long gone, Li Hua picked up her cell phone to dial a number quickly.
The call was only connected a long time later.
"I'm Li Hua, I agree to work with you... That woman is so unruly, it'd be good to teach her a lesson."
'Wouldn't it be better to let Yan Jinyi star in an adult film after the matter is completed?'
Yan Jinyi finally got to enjoy a few days of peace. However, the wayward Huo Zihang soon got involved in a scandal again.
There were news of Huo Zihang and a young model photographed behaving intimately with each other at entertainment joints.
Some of the tabloids began using Yan Jinyi as a topic for their content, stating that the true meaning of Huo Zihang's Weibo post was that he didn't fancy her and hoped that she would have the self-awareness to know that.
