After Becoming Widowed, I Inherited a Billion-Dollar Fortune

To protect her billion-dollar fortune, the newly widowed Su Jin is forced to get married again.

After the wedding, the two agreed not to interfere with each other and not to affect each other...

Chapter 22 Zheng Lin is stopped, and takes an unconventional approach

Upon hearing this, Su Jin picked out a light blue cheongsam from the clothes rack, went into the dressing room to change, and then came out.

The light lip color perfectly complements the light blue cheongsam.

Then she let her hair down, casually tied it up, inserted a white jade hairpin, and walked out gracefully.

“You have no chance of getting the role yourself. You have no connections and no resources. Who would let you play the lead role?” Seeing how outstanding she looked, Gao Wei deliberately belittled her worth. “At most, you’ll get a supporting role. It’s a blessing from heaven that you’re playing one.”

Su Jin stopped in her tracks.

The words "supporting actress" directly touched a nerve with her.

Before she could speak, Wang Keyi behind her immediately defended her, saying, "It doesn't matter how big or small the role is. She can play a supporting role, and she can play the lead role in the future, but no one will want to watch you play a corpse."

Su Jin chuckled. This little brother was very blunt, but what he said about Gao Wei really hit the nail on the head.

“If an agent can’t act, she can do it herself. She wouldn’t be desperately signing new people. Asking Sister Gao Wei to play a corpse is making things difficult for her.” Su Jin turned to look at Gao Wei’s liver-colored face. “It’s Wang Keyi who can’t speak properly, spouting off the truth for no reason.”

Gao Wei clenched her knuckles and said forcefully, "You're just talking big. You'll regret it if you don't get elected."

After the two left the chairman's lounge, Wang Keyi immediately took out his phone again and cautiously asked, "This is our second meeting today. Can I... add you on WeChat?"

After asking the question, he looked at her with sincere eyes and said, "Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to send you the demo of my new song. Last time, thanks to you, you still chose to sign me at the last minute. To me, you are my benefactor, and I want you to see every bit of progress I make."

"Oh, why don't you sing it for me now?"

Wang Keyi nodded obediently: "Mm."

The TV series "Floating World, Gentle Breeze, Dream" itself has a touch of tragedy from the Republican era. The accompanying OST is called "A Dream," which is also very poignant and melancholic. The lyrics fully express the hardships and unwavering commitment of the male and female protagonists' love.

Wang Keyi's voice has a slightly husky quality, which is a perfect match for the song.

After listening, Su Jin suddenly became even more eager for the story of the TV series, as if she had really seen a woman from the Republican era with a touch of fantasy.

Su Jin: "This song is really nice, a dream, a dream of wealth and glory."

"I wrote both the lyrics and the music myself, and I spent a long time reflecting on it. My manager was urging me, so I went to record the song." Although he said that, the young man was still a little reluctant to leave, looking at Su Jin with lingering affection.

He waved goodbye to Su Jin, but didn't lower his hand, his smile warm.

Wang Keyi gripped his phone tightly, watching the woman wave goodbye and walk away. He then showed a hint of disappointment, lowered his head, and entered the elevator.

Wang Keyi murmured, "Sister still doesn't recognize me? Has she forgotten me?"

He knew that nothing could be rushed and that there would be time for his sister to recognize him later.

At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor, the security guard was holding a photo and comparing it to the man's appearance.

After comparing the two times, he held the riot baton horizontally to block the way, saying, "Young Master Zheng, you can't come in."

Zheng Lin: "......"

“It’s not my fault,” the security guard said. “I was just following orders from above. I had no choice. Young Master Zheng, please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Assistant Gao: "Boss, why don't you apologize to the boss's wife?"

Zheng Lin gave him a sharp look, and Assistant Gao's legs went weak with fear, terrified of having his salary docked.

Assistant Gao: "How about I apologize to the boss's wife for you?"

Zheng Lin: "How much salary did you receive last month?"

"Huh? I don't remember either."

"This month's reduction is halved; once they've learned to speak, we'll add it back."

Assistant Gao almost cried, "..."

Assistant Wang just said that the boss gave him a raise.

Why are there such huge differences in bosses within the same company?! I really want to switch bosses with Assistant Wang!

Unable to get in, Zheng Lin had no choice but to seek another way out, resorting to unconventional methods.

Looking around, he immediately focused on a few junior employees carrying cardboard boxes, who were walking out with resentful expressions.

"Why did they suddenly fire us for no reason? What big company is this? I won't come back even if they beg me."

"Oh, could it be that woman in the elevator who snitched on us? Did she see our employee ID badges?"

"Her? How could she have such great abilities?"

After seeing them come out, Zheng Lin reached out and asked Assistant Gao to take out his business card.

He stepped forward and handed his business card to the junior employees. "Hello, I am a lawyer from Zheng Lin Law Firm. I just heard that you seem to have been dismissed without cause. You can tell me what happened, and I can help you."

They took the business card and glanced at it. "Zheng Lin, I know him, I know him, that undefeated lawyer Zheng. My God, are you really willing to help us?"

Assistant Gao suddenly felt that these people were so naive. The boss was Young Master Zheng, and the position of lawyer was just a hobby for the boss in his spare time.

Zheng Lin adjusted his glasses and smiled, "Of course."

If they were allowed to file a lawsuit, Su Jin would have no choice but to contact him personally.

This mere door can't stop anything at all.

He couldn't get in, so he didn't force his way in; he just waited for her to come out and find him.

At that moment, Su Jinlian sneezed three times in the conference room on the tenth floor.

Assistant Wang asked with concern, "Chairman Su, are you alright? Have you caught a cold recently? I'll go buy some medicine."

"It's okay, no need to go." Su Jin put one hand on her hip and rubbed her nose. "It's probably someone talking about me, and it's the kind of thing with bad intentions."

Assistant Wang said, "This is the script you requested."

"Um."

"Are you really sure you want to re-enter the entertainment industry?" Assistant Wang's eyes were full of admiration when he saw Su Jin.

"From now on, if any outsiders see me, just call me Miss Su. Chairman Su, please disappear for now." Su Jin beckoned to Assistant Wang, "Come here, I need to talk to you. You'll be right there in a minute..."

After listening to Su Jin's words, Assistant Wang nodded, "Okay, I will do my best."

Ten minutes later, the director and producer arrived and immediately shook hands with Su Jin.

"Chairman Su, I've heard so much about you."

"I've always heard that seeing is believing. Ms. Su is really beautiful, even more beautiful than those actors. If Ms. Su were to act, she would definitely become famous."

Assistant Wang said from the side, "You've got it wrong. This is Miss Su. Chairman Su isn't here today; she's on vacation."

"Ms. Su...?" Director Li and the producer exchanged glances, somewhat unaware of the situation.

"I'm Chairman Su's cousin. My cousin asked me to come here for an audition." Su Jin instantly switched into cousin mode, revealing a bewildered and flustered look in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Director Li knew he couldn't afford to offend the young woman in front of him. "There are quite a few female characters in our production, and I think your image is excellent, perfectly matching our casting requirements. You don't need to audition; I'll give you a role right away. What do you think, Ms. Su?"
