Chapter 15 Mr. Fu's Heartbreak No wonder the boss was interested in Jiang Shunian...

Because the person in the photo is Jiang Shunian.

The age, height, and weight all match up, and even the experience of leaving the entertainment industry four years ago due to being subjected to unspoken rules is very similar. The appearance and portrait are also 70% similar.

Individually, you might notice the difference, but when you compare the photo with the portrait, you'll realize that it's definitely the same person.

The assistant realized that it was no wonder the boss was interested in Jiang Shunian; it turned out that it was all about him all along.

What a destined plot!

So here's the question: Jiang Shunian already has a child, does their boss still have a chance?

The assistant, holding the photo, made a video call to Fu Yanli.

Fu Yanli had already returned home and changed into a black silk loungewear set. The soft fabric perfectly outlined his strong physique. He was extremely handsome, with high brow bones and deep-set eyes, but what was even more attractive was his pair of eyes, which were as dark as ink yet shone with golden light, mysterious and noble.

In the group's private employee chat group, discussions about President Fu's eyes have been ongoing for a long time.

However, the assistant had seen it all before and was quite calm. He reported the investigation results to Fu Yanli, and mentioned that the opportunity to discover Jiang Shunian was that he participated in a parent-child variety show. He emphasized the word "parent-child" in the show, hoping that his boss could understand that he had his eye on a husband.

Fu Yanli naturally understood his assistant's meaning. He looked down at Jiang Shunian on the screen. The young man had gentle features and clear eyes. He was the kind of person he wanted to get to know the moment he saw him.

He was now certain that Jiang Shunian was the person who had spent the night with him four years ago, but fate had other plans, as Jiang Shunian was already pregnant.

That night, although Jiang Shunian was initially resistant, she later began to respond to him—perhaps it was the effect of the drugs.

That chaotic night, it's hard to say who was right and who was wrong. Moreover, Jiang Shunian was willing to leave secretly while injured, which shows that she didn't want to have anything to do with him. So at this moment, he shouldn't appear in front of her again and cause her trouble.

Fu Yanli was silent for a moment before replying, "I understand. Let's leave it at that."

The assistant had been with Fu's company for three years and always knew that his boss had someone in his heart and had been trying every means to find her. He felt that his boss was definitely a perfect match, lacking nothing in terms of looks, figure, and wealth, and more importantly, he was morally upright and devoted to his relationship. He sighed inwardly, thinking that perhaps God thought Fu Yanli was too perfect and had to give him a setback.

Of course, this thought was soon dismissed; President Fu was indeed a favorite of fate.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanli walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dazzling lights and bustling traffic outside, his expression forlorn.

He had originally wanted to check on Jiang Shunian through variety show videos; he seemed to be doing quite well, appearing on popular shows. But he didn't want to see the child, so he ultimately didn't do anything.

The next day, Fu Yanli had completely adjusted his mood and instructed his assistant to contact Jiang Shunian's current agency to provide him with some resources, but not to reveal anything.

The assistant once again exclaimed how good Mr. Fu was, and then quickly contacted Shi Xu to get things done.

Pei Qingyi quickly received the news that it was Time Media that offered the opportunity, handing over several scripts, including both movies and TV series, all featuring collaborations with renowned directors. These were undoubtedly top-tier resources that people in the industry would fight tooth and nail to secure.

Moreover, the attitude given was that Jiang Shunian could choose any role, and even the male lead could be chosen.

Pei Qingyi frowned, looking very puzzled. Why was he feeding Jiang Shunian so many resources?

He certainly didn't simply think that Shi Xu appreciated Jiang Shunian's acting skills. If that were the case, why did he refuse to cooperate in the first place?

Therefore, there is only one possibility: a high-ranking member of the Fu family behind the scenes has taken a liking to Jiang Shunian.

It's no wonder Pei Qingyi thought that way; such things are commonplace in the entertainment industry.

Pei Qingyi had already investigated Jiang Shunian's past experiences quite thoroughly, except for the big shot who had taken a liking to Jiang Shunian back then. This was because it had been a long time, and the other party must have been extremely wealthy and powerful, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to force Jiang Shunian to leave the entertainment industry.

So, is he from the Fu family? He saw Jiang Shunian's comeback, so he's trying to pull off this underhanded tactic again?

Pei Qingyi immediately became alert.

He comes from the prestigious Pei family, although not the main branch. The Pei family has always been united, and when he started his own agency, the Pei family provided a lot of support. For example, the Pei family was one of the investors in the variety show "Baby Travel Plan," which gave him a guest spot.

Therefore, his artists absolutely do not need to sell themselves to find resources.

Therefore, Pei Qingyi made a direct call to Shi Xu's general manager and said bluntly, "If it requires Jiang Shunian to do something excessive, then I'm sorry I cannot agree."

The general manager of Shixu was the one who regretted it the most. How could he have imagined that Jiang Shunian had such a background? He had tried to figure out Fu Yanli's intentions and refused to sign him, but the other party went to Huazhen. If he wanted to send resources, he would have to get past Pei Qingyi!

If they had signed Jiang Shunian back then, no one would have noticed any compensation they wanted now.

But it was too late for regrets now. He could only give a bitter smile: "President Pei, you've misunderstood. Shixu is indeed sincerely interested in cooperating with Teacher Jiang without any strings attached. We can sign a contract. If we breach the contract, President Pei can determine the compensation ratio. How about that?"

Pei Qingyi couldn't understand why Shi Xu was being so humble; perhaps their boss had lost his mind.

These resources are indeed very good. If there were no strings attached, Jiang Shunian would definitely become a sensation with his abilities. He cannot blindly refuse them; he needs to consult Jiang Shunian's opinion.

Therefore, he compromised: "Okay, let me ask Jiang Shunian first."

Although he hadn't had much contact with Jiang Shunian, he always felt that Jiang wouldn't agree.

Sure enough, Jiang Shunian's first reaction after learning that Shi Xu was feeding him resources was to repeat the same mistake. It wasn't that Jiang Shunian was narcissistic; he had already experienced it before.

At the time, his agent also tried to get him to attend a drinking party under the pretext of having excellent resources, but he flatly refused.

This situation is so similar.

“President Pei, I won’t do those things.” Jiang Shunian let Nuonuo play with the Rubik’s Cube by herself and went to the bedroom to answer the phone. “I just want to rely on my own efforts. These resources are too much for me to achieve right now.”

Although he was short of money and wanted to earn more for Nuonuo, he also had to set a good example for Nuonuo.

Pei Qingyi thought to himself that he had guessed correctly, but he still explained that there were no additional conditions on the timeline side.

Jiang Shunian still refused, saying he would never accept a reward without merit.

However, after refusing, Jiang Shunian was worried that Pei Qingyi would think he was ungrateful. Fortunately, Pei Qingyi spoke up: "Then I will refuse for you. Our Huazhen's resources are no worse than his. You should take good care of Nuonuo first."

Jiang Shunian felt a warm current surge in his heart and replied, "Thank you, President Pei."

If he had encountered a different management company back then, he probably wouldn't have been forced to leave the industry and wasted the best four years of his life.

But similarly, he won't have Nono either.

Who can distinguish between misfortune and fortune? Jiang Shunian only knows that he will seize the moment.

After Pei Qingyi refused again, General Manager Shixu replied to his assistant with a long face, feeling that his position as general manager was in jeopardy.

The assistant reluctantly reported the situation to Fu Yanli, emphasizing that Jiang Shunian himself firmly refused. Fu Yanli was somewhat surprised, but he appreciated Jiang Shunian's character even more.

"Let Shixu keep an eye on things. We can cooperate with Jiang Shunian again when there's a suitable opportunity in the future."

"Yes, Mr. Fu."

This incident didn't affect Jiang Shunian much, but Yu Yanchen did call him on video.

"Shu Nian, do you know what kind of drama President Pei asked me to film? It's a military-themed one, but the director made us train for two months first!" Yu Yanchen had gotten a bit tanned, and his teeth were dazzlingly white when he smiled.

He showed off the results of his training in front of the camera; his already well-developed muscles taut out a powerful shape when he exerted himself.

Jiang Shunian laughed and said, "You've practiced very well."

"Yes, and the character I play is a top soldier!" Yu Yanchen's eyes shone brightly despite his exhaustion. "Brother, I can finally film a TV series on a major network! Hahaha, thank you, President Pei! May President Pei live a long and healthy life!"

Jiang Shunian recalled his previous conversation with Pei Qingyi and wholeheartedly agreed: "Long live President Pei!"

Yu Yanchen burst into laughter.

After chatting for a while, Yu Yanchen was called away to continue training, while Jiang Shunian continued reading the script that Zhao Yuanzhou had given him earlier.

Although this drama is an ancient costume romance, it is an S+ level project of the platform. Although Jiang Shunian's popularity soared because of "Baby Travel Plan", his foundation is still too shallow, so he can only audition for the third male lead.

The third male lead is an orphan whom the female lead once helped. He secretly loves her but knows he is not good enough for her, so he can only hide his feelings. Later, when the female lead is framed, he secretly changes into her clothes to distract the pursuers and dies after being pierced by a thousand arrows.

If the audition is successful, Jiang Shunian will have to take on the challenge of dressing in women's clothing.

Jiang Shunian didn't have too many thoughts about it. After all, it was all for the purpose of creating a character, and the character design was quite good. Although he couldn't see the detailed script and could only see a simple character biography, Jiang Shunian really wanted to take on the challenge.

Therefore, Jiang Shunian has been watching how other actors portray these kinds of roles and has also applied to Zhao Yuanzhou for acting classes.

President Pei, who is known as "Long Live," directly invited a professor to give him three hours of lessons every week.

The recording of the fourth episode is about to begin. Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo are well-prepared and ready to go.

But when they arrived at the filming location, the village chief announced something: "Children, today we have a mystery guest. Complete the tasks he assigns to earn points, which can be exchanged for ingredients. The child with the highest score will receive a deluxe gift package from the mystery guest!"

Jiang Shunian's expression softened slightly, but his right eyelid kept twitching, giving him a bad feeling.

When the mystery guest appeared, Jiang Shunian's face instantly turned gloomy!
