When Qingping Entertainment contacted Jian Xiaojun, she had already been unemployed for more than a month.

After being plagiarized once again, Jian Xiaojun angrily left Guanjun Century and embarked on another long road of fighting for her rights. But this time, lawyer Xue Zhao clearly told Jian Xiaojun that she had no way to protect her rights regarding Guanjun Century's plagiarism.

The reason is simple: Jian Xiaojun's entire creative process took place on Guanjun Century's computer. There were no traces of her creative process anywhere else.

The only evidence available was a portion of the outline Jian Xiaojun had written in QQ chats—having been fooled once before, Jian Xiaojun was somewhat more wary than before. Every evening after work, she would use the brief communication time to recall what she had written that day, briefly recount it in a QQ chat, and send it to her alternate account. But these small fragments were clearly insufficient as evidence in court.

The lawsuit against Tianding Entertainment is also progressing very slowly. Copyright lawsuits often take three or four years, which is common in the industry. Jian Xiaojun can't possibly starve for those three or four years. When Qingping Entertainment approached her, this screenwriter who had written two or three scripts was selling hot and sour noodles in the underground city's food street.

And so, Jian Xiaojun, reeking of hot and sour noodles, visited Qingping Entertainment.

Jian Xiaojun was extremely agitated, and nearly fainted several times during the conversation. Shang Yechu also noticed that although Jian Xiaojun ate the snack gift bag she had brought, she didn't drink any water.

It's impossible not to feel thirsty after eating too much of those dried meat, dried fruit, and the like. Shang Yechu carefully observed Jian Xiaojun's mouth; her lips were already chapped and peeling, and she kept licking them as she spoke, clearly very thirsty. If that's the case, why doesn't she drink water?

Although Shang Yechu didn't understand physiology, she was still somewhat observant and didn't ask the question herself.

Given Jian Xiaojun's current physical and mental condition, it was clear that she couldn't discuss work with her anymore. Shang Yechu asked her assistant to settle Jian Xiaojun in, and also sent a few people from her own assistant and bodyguard teams to take care of her, instructing Jian Xiaojun to rest well. After doing all this, she called her assistants over to inquire about Jian Xiaojun's refusal to drink water.

She hadn't expected to get any information from the assistant, but to her surprise, an assistant surnamed Liu kept winking at Shang Yechu for a long time, as if he knew some inside information.

Shang Yechu understood and dismissed the other assistants, leaving only Assistant Liu behind.

When Qingping Entertainment contacted Jian Xiaojun, the renowned screenwriter was still selling hot and sour noodles and sleeping in a basement in another province. Assistant Liu was one of the people who went to greet her. She was older, had a kind appearance, and had spent more time with Jian Xiaojun, so she knew a little bit of the inside story.

After hearing what Assistant Liu said, Shang Yechu realized that there was such a sad story behind Jian Xiaojun's dislike of drinking water.

Because she was always watched when she went to the restroom, and because of her heavy daily writing workload, Jian Xiaojun tried to minimize her trips to the toilet. In layman's terms, she held her urine.

Holding in urine is nothing; who hasn't done it during their school days? But Jian Xiaojun's health has changed. Due to a weakened immune system and insufficient water intake, she developed a urinary tract infection after holding it in for several months!

This kind of thing is indeed embarrassing for a little girl, no wonder Jian Xiaojun didn't mention it in the chat.

Shang Ye was initially relieved that she had some sense. If she had rashly asked the question earlier, how would Jian Xiaojun have fared?

Assistant Liu sat down next to Shang Yechu and kept rambling on, "When I was helping her pack her luggage, I saw Relinqing and Fosfomycin Sodium. These are for treating urinary tract infections!"

"Sister Liu knows quite a lot." Shang Yechu forced a smile.

Assistant Liu exclaimed, "When I was pregnant, I also had urinary incontinence and a urinary tract infection, and I ate these very things! But Xiaojun is only in her early twenties, where is she going to give birth? She must have been holding her urine for so long. Sigh, poor little brat, when my son grows up, I will never let him become a screenwriter."

Assistant Liu is usually very talkative, so when Shang Yechu goes out to film or go on business trips, he is the least willing to take her along, because he often hears her talking so much that he gets calloused.

This time, Shang Yechu, unusually, didn't flee. Instead, she listened quietly to Assistant Liu's rambling: the hardships of pregnancy and childbirth, the anxieties of maternity leave. She was terrified that a new person would replace her. Later, when she returned to the company, she was indeed replaced. Fortunately, she was capable and hardworking, and through her outstanding personal abilities, she managed to earn a place beside Shang Yechu. President Ji truly had a keen eye for talent, promoting capable people based solely on ability, not other factors. Those restless types in the company weren't as experienced or as steady as her. Shang Yechu often travels far and wide for filming; she shouldn't only bring Lu Ji and his assistants, but should also bring her along—she was far more thoughtful than Lu Ji and the others…

Shang Yechu listened quietly as a woman recounted the pain of childbirth, the anxieties about her career, the impatience of others, and her personal struggles.

The image of another woman flashed through her mind, and this time, besides pain, jealousy, and resentment, there was even more pity and heartache. How had she endured all of this? That Cao guy might be by her side, but she didn't love him; seeing him would probably only make her feel disgusted. The thought of her suffering while also having to tolerate a man she had no interest in made Shang Yechu feel even more sorry for her.

Assistant Liu was speaking at length without being interrupted, which was quite rare. Just as he was getting into it, he suddenly saw Shang Yechu looking at him with affectionate eyes, which made his hair stand on end.

Good heavens! Assistant Liu, being Shang Yechu's confidante, naturally knew some of the inside story. What was with that look from the second boss? She—she, Old Liu, was a married woman!

Fortunately, the situation that Assistant Liu had imagined did not occur. Shang Yechu sighed, leaned closer to Assistant Liu, and whispered a few words of advice.

"These are my personal phone number and WeChat secondary account," Shang Yechu said, then sent the two numbers to Assistant Liu. "Contact me if you need anything."

Since Jian Xiaojun was ashamed to mention it, Shang Yechu didn't press the matter. She simply pretended not to know anything about it.

Asking Assistant Liu to take care of Jian Xiaojun is currently the most suitable solution. After all, she has experienced urinary tract infections herself and has a motherly demeanor, which might make Jian Xiaojun more comfortable. There's less shame in sharing with fellow patients.

Although Assistant Liu is talkative, she only talks a lot about her own affairs; she keeps her mouth shut about other people's business. Otherwise, Shang Yechu wouldn't have kept her working by his side.

Assistant Liu was overjoyed upon receiving the order. Shang Yechu's team was incredibly competitive, with so many people that everyone was scrambling to get a chance to appear before her. Because of her talkative nature, Assistant Liu had always been avoided by Shang Yechu, making her feel quite insecure within the team.

Now, the second boss has actually entrusted her with such an important matter, which clearly shows that he values ​​her, Lao Liu!

Everyone at Qingping Entertainment knows they're short of good screenwriters. Every month, CEO Ji flies into a rage over the rubbish submitted by the screenwriting team. Now, the second boss has actually asked her to take care of a newly recruited screenwriter, who's supposedly even won an award… Assistant Liu seems to see herself reaching the pinnacle of her career, trampling everyone on the team.

The thought that other colleagues in the team might not even be remembered by the second boss, while he could contact the second boss via a private phone with just a flick of his finger, filled Assistant Liu with joy. He went off happily, beaming with delight.
