'That's quite silly.'
"Both of you are from TG entertainment, there should be a chance for you to work together in the future, right?"
Before Yao Xin answered, Yan Jinyi grabbed the microphone and asked, "Aren't we working together now?"
The host wanted to lay a trap for Yan Jinyi several times but she often managed to retort and shut him up.
This time, Yao Xin was planning to insult Yan Jinyi and steal the limelight but in the end, she failed to get any advantages because Yan Jinyi wouldn't fall for her trick. Besides, Yan Jinyi was straightforward and unafraid of offending others either.
After the filming ended, Yao Xin threw her cell phone onto the couch furiously and exclaimed, "Yan Jinyi is too annoying. I'll make sure she doesn't have a place in the entertainment industry as long as I'm around!"
"She has Huo Zihang as her backer now, of course she'd be all cocky and smug. You're younger than her and your level of education is higher too. You're quite pretty yourself, if you can make Huo Zihang take a liking to you..." said the manager who didn't state things too explicitly.
Yao Xin's eyes flickered and she thought, 'Yes, as long as Huo Zihang takes a fancy to me, it'll only be a matter of time before Yan Jinyi gets kicked out of TG Entertainment.'
Yan Jinyi felt that she was prone to being pestered by lunatics.
After leaving the television broadcasting station, she was about to call Tan Sangsang to ask her out for a meal but she received a call from a stranger's number.
She picked it up in frustration and was just about to speak when a familiar female voice came from the other end of the line.
"You're Yan Jinyi, right? I'm Zhuang Heng's mother, Zhuang Lijuan."
'Zhuang Lijuan? That woman loathes me, why did she call me?'
"Get straight to the point."
Hearing her impatient and unfriendly tone, Zhuang Lijuan lost her cool. "What's with that attitude of yours? You're just a girl from the countryside with a humble background. It's your honor that my son likes you. If you still want to continue working in the entertainment industry, come to this address immediately."
After saying that, Zhuang Lijuan hung up immediately.
Yan Jinyi glared at her phone screen. 'Damn it, yet another lunatic.'
Zhuang Lijuan asked to meet her at an upscale Western restaurant which many famous celebrities liked patronizing.
When Yan Jinyi arrived, she saw Zhuang Lijuan who was seated elegantly and having some tea.
Perhaps because she was a professional dancer, Zhuang Lijuan was in great shape and her skin was in excellent condition too. Those who didn't know her would have definitely thought that she was the wife of a rich man.
When she saw Yan Jinyi, Zhuang Lijuan gestured for her to take a seat with a look of displeasure.
Zhuang Lijuan said sarcastically, "Miss Yan, you're really something. After seducing my son, you went on to seduce Tang Qing. I heard that you have an affair with Huo Zihang too, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be tarnished?"
Yan Jinyi placed a hand on the table and knocked her fingertips against it before saying self-righteously, "I'm charming and attractive, why should I be scared?"
'I have lots of suitors in this country, as well as in the era I came from. Mind you, I'm the leader of Black Clouds Fortress.'
"How shameless of you, Miss Yan." As she spoke, Zhuang Lijuan pulled out a card from her bag and slid it towards Yan Jinyi. "The password is 888888, and there's a million yuan stored in that card. As long as you leave Zhuang Heng and think of a way to make him give up on you, the money will be yours to keep."
Zhuang Lijuan was already waiting to see Yan Jinyi wiping her tears and pretending to be hopelessly devoted to her son.
In the end, Yan Jinyi merely looked at the card in disdain and gibed, "Are the rich so miserly nowadays? Madam Zhuang, have you never read romance novels that revolve around the theme of overbearing CEOs?"
Zhuang Lijuan squinted and said with a threatening gaze, "What do you mean by that?"
"It's a cliche thing in novels for overbearing CEOs to have stereotypically vicious mothers who would give the female protagonists 5 million yuan to make them leave their sons. You're offering me only a million yuan, do you take me for a beggar?"
