"Be honest, which agency did you sign with? How could they just snatch your role like that?"
Qin Miaomiao’s eyes widened, her breathing quickened:
"Xingyao, I’ve been under contract with them for three years."
The subsidiary company under Chu Yunhao’s agency, always managed by Su Moli!
Back then, before she died, Su Moli always groveled in her presence, calling her ’sister’ every chance she got, pretending to be pitiful. She had arranged a job for her, not realizing Su Moli had long been secretly involved with Chu Yunhao behind her back.
Playing her for a fool.
The world is truly small. Who would have thought that Jiaojiao had signed with Xingyao?
Jiaojiao complained at this moment: "You wouldn’t believe it—our boss used to be the mistress of the big boss. Now the boss’s wife has come to our company, but the mistress is dead. I bet the wife doesn’t know a thing. Her personality, though, is nothing like a wife—more like the mistress instead. Giving reckless orders—the whole company is a mess. I’ve been thinking about terminating my contract."
"How much is the termination fee?"
Qin Miaomiao asked again, "Don’t you want to terminate your contract?"
"I bet it’d cost over a million."
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head: "No, that’s not a small sum. Besides, even if I terminate the contract, I’ve got nowhere to go. Three years in the industry, and I’ve got nothing to show for it. A lot of the girls in the company are forced to accompany clients. Last time, if it hadn’t been for you, I’d probably have fallen into that pit of wolves too."
Qin Miaomiao frowned: "Are you saying the company is forcing artists to accompany clients?"
Chu Yunhao is actually tolerating such filth in his own company?
Qin Miaomiao suddenly took her hand, her expression serious:
"Jiaojiao, I’ll help you terminate the contract. You know our company is working with Lu Qing’s group on a series of film projects. Would you consider signing with me instead?"
Xu Jiaojiao thought hard about it. Staying at Xingyao would only mean she’d eventually be coerced into accompanying those sleazy men. Following Miaomiao might still hold a glimmer of hope.
"But that termination fee... over a million..."
"I’ll cover it. But, you have to do one thing for me."
She leaned close to Jiaojiao’s ear and murmured. Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened as she stared at her: "Are you really going to do that?"
"If you’re worried about safety, I’ll arrange for several undercover bodyguards to protect you when the time comes."
Xu Jiaojiao bit her lip, nodding resolutely: "Alright, I’ll do it! Not just for myself, but to help those other girls too."
A prestigious entertainment agency, and it had sunk so low to trading girls for resources. Su Moli’s tactics really were as vile as ever.
Since that’s the case, then she might as well start dealing with them here.
Xu Jiaojiao’s hand rested on her shoulder, leaning in close. With a slight turn, her lips grazed Miaomiao’s cheek.
While they were chatting, Xu Jiaojiao felt herself liking Miaomiao more and more. Compared to the past, she seemed so much better now.
Her skin even looked prettier—smooth and fair, tempting enough to kiss. Thinking this, Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t resist and planted a little kiss on her cheek:
"From now on, I’m counting on you, darling. You have to take care of me!"
That word ’alright’ had barely left her lips when her arm was pulled tight. She was spun around sharply, crashing into a broad chest—her nose... smacking hard against it. Ouch, it hurt.
Damn it, which jerk dared to pull her like that?
She raised her head—Lu... Lu Qing?
