Chapter 14 The National Film Emperor's Girlfriend is a Black-and-Red Actress 14 (Added)

Lin Meiyin felt excited all over.

"That's great, then I can stand on the screen with a clean conscience from now on."

She was truly prepared to fight the company to the death. She knew that even if she escaped this ordeal today, something even more terrible awaited her.

She might suddenly disappear, and the entertainment industry will never know her again.

But things are different now. Xingyao has collapsed, its top executives have been arrested, and her scandals have been completely cleared.

A bright future awaits her.

Ji Huaizhi smiled as he looked at her happy face.

Lin Meiyin met his eyes and her heart stirred. The feeling of something breaking through the soil made her understand her own feelings.

She wanted to stand beside him with an innocent and pure heart.

"Ding-a-ling~"

Ji Huaizhi got up to open the door, and Lin Meiyin also hurriedly stood up.

Chen Fei wasn't surprised to see the woman behind Brother Ji: "Things have calmed down outside. Sister Meixin told me to come early."

Ji Huaizhi turned to Lin Meiyin and said, "Go with her. She will take you back."

Lin Meiyin came over and bowed deeply to Ji Huaizhi: "Teacher Ji, thank you."

Ji Huaizhi: "..."

Chen Fei: "Pfft~"

"You're welcome. I'll introduce you to a lawyer regarding the contract with Xingyao. I'm sure you can terminate it smoothly." Although the company has collapsed, she is still an artist under Xingyao.

Lin Meiyin stood up, waving her hand in surprise, "That's not what I meant..."

Good heavens, does Teacher Ji think I'm asking him for help?

Lin Meiyin didn't want to trouble Teacher Ji; she owed him too much and wouldn't be able to repay him.

"I also had my own selfish motives."

The man's words stunned Lin Meiyin, her eyes sparkling.

"I think you have great potential, and I'd like to sign you with Starway." Ji Huaizhi said this while taking a deep breath.

Chen Fei was speechless at Brother Ji's antics.

Where did the serious Brother Ji from before go?

Her words just now were clearly easy to misunderstand, judging from the way she looked at Lin Meiyin.

Tsk tsk.

The little white rabbit that just escaped from the tiger's mouth encountered the cunning big bad wolf.

“Star... Star Path?” Lin Meiyin asked in surprise.

"Yes, go back and rest first. Chen Fei will talk to you in the car. We'll take things one step at a time."

Chen Fei greeted Lin Meiyin with a smile.

After they left, Ji Huaizhi lazily walked to the French windows.

"Hello?"

"Why are you calling? Thanks to you, I'm swamped with work right now." The man on the phone sounded annoyed.

"I just wanted to ask about the progress on your end," Ji Huaizhi said, unconcerned by his attitude.

"Do you still care whether I live or die? You almost ruined my plans because of your heroic rescue of the damsel in distress!" The man on the phone was Ji Huaizhi's cousin, Ji Jiang.

He was the person in charge of the Xingyao case in the previous life, along with the original owner.

Ji Huaizhi had prepared evidence in advance and exposed Xingyao's dirty deeds ahead of time.

Let Lin Meiyin leave that place with a clear conscience.

Liao Meixin looked at the newly printed contract and noticed that the contract signed with Lin Meiyin was grade A.

"They really are protecting her."

"Sister Liao, what did you say?"

Liao Meixin shook her head: "It's nothing, there are some loopholes in this contract, let's revise it and reprint it."

"Okay, where do you want me to change it?"

Liao Meixin raised an eyebrow: "Add one more clause: no dating for five years."

"Sister Liao, I remember that this clause wasn't in the Grade A contract, was it?" the staff member asked while making the changes.

"Yes, but they're at the prime of their lives right now, so we don't want dating to affect their careers." Liao Meixin smiled, which made the staff feel a little strange.

However, I still changed it according to her request.

Liao Meixin raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Lin Meiyin, wearing a mask and sunglasses, arrived at Xingtu and was led into Liao Meixin's office.

"Please come in."

Looking up, he saw Lin Meiyin and stood up: "You've arrived? Come and sit down."

After chatting with her for a while, Liao Meixin expressed that she was very satisfied with her.

She is also very career-oriented.

"Take a look at this contract." Liao Meixin handed her the contract.

I got up to get some water so she could look at it slowly.

Lin Meiyin looked at the contract and found that it was completely different from the contracts she had signed before.

No wonder his career path is so well-regarded by most celebrities.

“Sister Meixin, I’m willing to sign,” Lin Meiyin said excitedly.

Liao Meixin pushed the water she had just filled towards her: "Have you read some of the terms and conditions?"

"I've read it. I'm very satisfied with the contract."

Hearing her say that, Liao Meixin pointed to a clause in the contract: "Do you have any objections to this clause?"

Lin Meiyin looked down at the sign that said she couldn't date for five years: "No objection."

She knew that most celebrities had this rule.

She knew that many celebrities fell in love, got married, and had children soon after becoming famous. After that, she began to forbid any of them from dating.

She didn't see anything wrong with it, because her contract with Star Glory also included this clause.

The image of Teacher Ji simply appeared in my mind.

“That’s good. I like artists who are career-minded.” Liao Meixin gave her one contract and put the other one in her drawer.

"I heard that things have been sorted out at Xingyao, right?" Seeing her nod, he continued, "Then you should adjust your mindset first. You acted in Director Li's movie before, and it should be released soon."

"Take advantage of this exposure opportunity and let me see if there are any suitable roles or shows for you."

Lin Meiyin suddenly realized the difference between Star Glory and Star Path.

"Thank you, Sister Meixin."

Liao Meixin waved her hand, indicating that she could leave.

After everyone left, I replied to Ji Huaizhi and showed him the contract I had just seen.

Thinking about Ji Huaizhi's serious expression when he saw the contract makes me laugh.

The work phone rang, and Liao Meixin answered, "Hello?"

"Is it signed?" A woman's gentle voice came through the receiver: "Send her documents over so I can take a look."

"Yes, Mr. Ji."

Ji Huaizhu watched the variety show "Treasure Countryside". Although her younger brother's presence in the show was not insignificant, she noticed that he was guiding the audience to pay attention to Lin Meiyin.

He clicked his tongue as he looked at the woman in the video who wasn't wearing any makeup.

The cycad has actually bloomed.

"Knock knock".

"Enter."

Liao Meixin handed Lin Meiyin's information to her: "President Ji, this is Lin Meiyin's information, including her family situation."

Ji Huaizhu nodded. Good, she's more perceptive than her own assistant.

My brother's friends are really useful, while the people around me are all misfits.

"Okay, you can go now."

Lin Meiyin's information is fairly standard; none of the negative information circulating online is included in it.

On the contrary, she is a very talented girl.

Despite their family's financial difficulties, it's truly remarkable that they've managed to cultivate such a multi-talented individual in her.

I worked part-time throughout college, and it was only after being taken to work as an extra that I decided I wanted to become a star because stars earn a lot of money.

Overall, the girl is quite nice.

There was another knock on the door, and the assistant came in with coffee: "Mr. Ji, your coffee."

Ji Huaizhu took a sip, then frowned and looked up at her smiling assistant: "Is it that funny? What's with that expression?"

"Also, I hired you as my assistant to help me with tasks, not to make coffee." Ji Huaizhu's voice was cold, and when she was serious, her features resembled those of Ji Huaizhi.

The assistant looked flustered: "Mr. Ji... I just... wanted to handle your affairs personally."

Ji Huaizhu raised an eyebrow at him, leaning back in her office chair: "Doing it all yourself?"

The assistant clenched his fists, as if gathering his courage to say something.

Ji Huaizhu waved his hand to interrupt him: "Go down and settle your wages at the finance department."

The assistant was stunned.

I never expected to be fired.

"Mr. Ji...please give me another chance." The assistant panicked, "I promise I won't have any other ideas."

Seeing her impatient eyes, the assistant hesitated.

He had no choice but to slink away from the office.

He pressed the phone beside him: "Hello, HR Director?"

"Give me a new assistant, someone quick-witted."

After signing the contract, Lin Meiyin sent a message to Ji Huaizhi.

Considering how much he had helped her, she could only express her gratitude verbally, so she sent him a message inviting him to dinner the next day.

She didn't have an assistant, so she had to choose where she ate herself, opting for a private restaurant with good privacy.

After getting dressed up, I went to the flower and bird market.

Everyone knows that Actor Ji loves growing flowers.

Seeing the dazzling array of flowers, she didn't know how to choose.

However, she knew that choosing the more expensive one was definitely the right thing to do.

"These orchids are beautiful," Lin Meiyin said, looking at the orchid in the shopkeeper's hand.

The shop owner explained, "This is the Lotus Petal Eternal Beauty Lotus. Its leaves are thick and solid, its flowers are pure and clean, and its petals are white, smooth, and elegant."

How much does this potted plant cost?

"This number." The boss extended his index finger, clenched his fist, and made an eight-shaped gesture.

Lin Meiyin's eyes darkened: "108?"

The shop owner nodded, then looked her over a few more times: "You don't seem to know much about orchids."

"Are you giving it away?"

Lin Meiyin nodded, surprised that the orchid was so expensive.

The boss nodded: "I only told you so much because I saw that you were dressed in a very elegant manner and looked like a rich young lady."

"You don't seem to know anything about flowers."

Lin Mei-yin nodded and said, "I really don't know anything about orchids; I gave them to someone else."

“He loves flowers. I saw that he has many varieties of flowers on his social media, including orchids. But I didn’t expect this flower to be priced like this, because there are many varieties of orchids in the mountains of my hometown.”

"Don't even think about going back to your hometown to dig it up, that's illegal," the boss said solemnly. "It's a nationally protected plant."

Lin Meiyin nodded: "I see."

The shop owner frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Find out what kind of flowers he usually grows, and I'll recommend some. What if he doesn't know anything about orchids? Buying them would be a waste."

Lin Meiyin stood to the side and flipped through it.

The boss looked at the picture and felt a pang of sympathy, so he quickly returned the phone to her.

"Girl, I'm not watching anymore. Your friend is no ordinary person."

Lin Meiyin understood.

Ji Huaizhi was a benefactor to her, but also an unspeakable secret in her heart.

Looking up at the orchid in the shopkeeper's hand, she asked, "Anything else?"

"Even better than this one."

Based on the boss's recommendation, Lin Meiyin chose another pot.

"This seedling is called Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum, known as the King of Lotus Petal Orchids, and this one of mine is a robust three-headed seedling with flowers."

"The blooming flowers combine beauty, butterflies, wonder, and color."

Lin Meiyin didn't understand orchids.

But she knew that when giving a gift, it should touch the heart.

"Boss, I want this."

The shopkeeper was stunned. He had only meant to introduce the plant to her, but she immediately asked for 2.4 million yuan: "This pot of golden sand chrysanthemums is worth 2.4 million yuan."

"Are you sure?" he asked doubtfully.

"Confirm, swipe card." Lin Meiyin held the card between her two hands.

The shopkeeper beamed with delight: "You have a good eye! Let me tell you, this orchid is sure to hit the spot for that person. You'll definitely be able to get what you asked him to do."

“I didn’t ask him for a favor; he helped me a lot, and I’m just thanking him,” Lin Meiyin said.

And from now on, whenever he sees this orchid, he will think of me.

This was also a selfish reason of hers.

The orchids were graceful, and Lin Meiyin's gaze was filled with emotion.

Looking at Ji Huaizhi across from her through the orchid, she smiled and said, "You've helped me so much, and I've never had a chance to thank you."

"I know you like flowers, but I don't know if you like orchids."

Lin Meiyin's voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

Ji Huaizhi's fingertip touched the orchid's stamen: "Golden Sand Chrysanthemum?"

"Yes, the boss said that's its name."

Ji Huaizhi smiled and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Hearing his words, Lin Meiyin was especially happy.

~

When Ji Huaizhi returned home with the flowers, he found someone inside.

Ji Huaizhu was wearing a loose bathrobe, her hair was wrapped in a towel, and her face was flushed and still damp: "You're back? Where have you been?"

Ji Huaizhi looked at her expressionlessly: "How did you get in?"

"You logged in by entering a password." Ji Huaizhu blinked. "The password you set is too simple. You could just enter it randomly and get in."

She picked up the face mask from the table, shook it off, and then applied it to her fair and tender face.

He sighed comfortably, "That girl is quite pretty."

Ji Huaizhi paused in placing the orchid, but remained silent.

Ji Huaizhu sat casually on the sofa with a mischievous grin: "Does she know you're interested in her? Although many people like you, your personality doesn't seem like the kind that attracts young girls."

"You're being long-winded."

Ji Huaizhu pouted: "Boring."

After Lin Meiyin had rested, Liao Meixin introduced her to a singing and dancing teacher.

There was also a teacher who taught acting.

It was a three-month closed-door teaching program.

They said they'd see how things go after these three months.

Lin Meiyin nodded obediently.

Liao Meixin looked up: "Aren't you afraid that if you come out again in three months, you won't have any buzz anymore?"

Lin Meiyin pursed her lips: "I believe in Starway. Since they signed me, they certainly won't let me be tarnished."

"And Meixin, you have experience."

"I'm right to trust you."

Liao Meixin smiled upon hearing her words.

"You don't believe me, you believe Actor Ji, right?"

Upon hearing her words, Lin Meiyin suddenly became a little nervous: "No..."

"Don't worry," Liao Meixin continued, "The Xingyao incident is still developing. Although the trending topics have been suppressed, there's no guarantee that there won't be further trouble."

"Go lay low for the next three months and learn as much as you can."

"You became famous in the entertainment industry through controversy, and you are so recognizable that netizens will not forget you."

"At that time, we can also gain some sympathy."

Lin Meiyin nodded; she knew it.
