After entering the room, Wen Ran changed into pajamas and washed her face. When she looked in the mirror, she found that her eyes were swollen.
Xiao Zhao took out two bottles of soda from the refrigerator, wrapped them in a towel, asked Wen Ran to sit in the living room, and helped her apply the water to her eyes.
She asked worriedly, "Sister Ran, did you... have a conflict with Mr. Shang?"
Xiao Zhao has been with Wen Ran for more than a year and has some understanding of her.
Wen Ran usually keeps to himself and doesn't have many friends. Apart from work, the person he interacts with the most on a daily basis is Shang Jingchi.
If Xiao Zhao were asked to guess, she wouldn't be able to come up with any other possibilities.
Wen Ran nodded and told him that Shang Jingchi had replaced her as the leading actress.
As for what happened in the company, Wen Ran didn't say anything more.
When Xiao Zhao heard this, she was so angry that she started swearing.
"Fuck! This is too much!"
"This show is so important to me, and I'm already halfway through filming. Now I don't know what to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ran suddenly thought of his agent.
I thought: Maybe the company can help her.
He quickly said to Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, give me your phone. I'll call my agent."
"good."
Xiao Zhao put the soda away, found his cell phone and handed it to Wen Ran.
Wen Ran dialed Yu Fangfang's number. The person on the other end didn't say anything after the call was connected. Wen Ran spoke first, "Fangfang, this is Wen Ran."
Wen Ran could clearly hear the heavy breathing coming out of Yu Fangfang's nostrils. After waiting for a while, she still didn't speak.
Wen Ran had no choice but to say again: "Fangfang, I..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Fangfang.
"Sister Ran, you really are my sister! You ruined a good hand of cards. I'm really impressed by you."
Yu Fangfang had a loud voice, and Wen Ran could tell from her tone that she was very angry.
Wen Ran put the phone to her ear, and now her whole head was buzzing with the vibration.
"Tell me how you offended the producer? A good drama was already halfway through filming. How capable do you have to make the producer replace you without any regard for anything? I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I've never seen anyone as capable as you!"
When Yu Fangfang spoke, her mouth was like a gun, fast and loud.
The dissatisfaction with Wen Ran was even deeper than the Yangtze River behind the apartment.
After all, the entire company hopes that Wen Ran's drama will achieve good results.
With an S-level production and a role alongside the best actor, even if it's a dog, it will be a hit when it's aired.
Wen Ran, on the other hand, was about to get the cake when she kicked it away.
Now the company has no hope.
The entertainment company that Wen Ran works for is a small, unknown company in the entertainment industry, with only eight artists in total.
Especially now that entertainment companies are in a fierce competition, and the eight female artists in their company are less famous than each other, the company is now almost unable to sustain itself.
When the company boss received the news that the producer wanted to replace the person, he was so angry that he didn't go to work for many days and was completely disappointed.
"You've seen it now!" Wen Ran replied in a low voice.
Yu Fangfang instantly exploded, "Wen Ran! Do you still want to be in the entertainment industry?"
Wen Ran straightened his back and said, "Of course I do. I'll tell you the truth! I didn't offend the producer. It was the crew's investors who didn't want me to play the leading female role anymore, so they replaced me."
"Wen Ran, you're amazing! You even dare to mess with investors. I advise you to stop filming and become an investor. Then you can do whatever you want."
Yu Fangfang's words seemed to take eighteen turns and sound sarcastic.
"I didn't offend the investors." Wen Ran explained.
Yu Fangfang snorted, "Then why did he replace you?"
Wen Ran thought about it and finally said, "Personal reasons."
Yu Fangfang became even more annoyed, and the volume that had just been lowered was raised again.
"Personal reasons? Why are you calling me if you don't need to deal with the personal reasons immediately?
Do you really think the company has the guts to offend investors on your behalf? Can't you be smarter and learn to say nice things? What good will it do you to offend investors?"
Yu Fangfang said everything in one breath, and her anger seemed to burn through the screen to Wen Ran's face.
Wen Ran was about to reply when the phone beeped.
Yu Fangfang has hung up.
Wen Ran angrily and helplessly returned the phone to Xiao Zhao, "This Yu Fangfang is like she's eaten dynamite. She's even angrier than me."
Wen Ran took off the towel wrapped in the soda on the table, unscrewed the soda, tilted his head back and took a few sips. Only then did he feel better.
Xiao Zhao then opened the other bottle and drank with Wen Ran.
"Sister Ran, why did you choose to join Tianrui? I don't think this company can help you in any way." Xiao Zhao asked while drinking.
Xiao Zhao heard everything that was said on the phone clearly because Yu Fangfang's voice was so loud.
"When I entered the entertainment industry, I knew nothing and just signed the contract. I had no idea it was so complicated, and the contract was for five years."
Wen Ran shook his head and sighed, regretting his decision.
Xiao Zhao patted Wen Ran's shoulder and smiled to encourage her, "Sister Ran, don't be discouraged. If this drama doesn't work out, we can make the next one. I will always be with you. I don't believe we can't become popular."
Xiao Zhao held his head high and chest out, like a vanguard soldier who refused to give up on the battlefield.
Wen Ran was amused by her appearance, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated.
Xiao Zhao has been following her since last year. The two have only known each other for a short time, but they have experienced a lot together.
The relationship is no longer that of a leader and subordinate at the beginning.
Wen Ran took the soda and quickly drank half of it. After enjoying it, he tilted his head and asked, "Xiao Zhao, do you know why I must enter the entertainment industry?"
Although he was drinking soda, Wen Ran looked lazy and drunk.
Xiao Zhao shook her head. Wen Ran had never told her this.
Wen Ran pointed in the direction of the balcony and motioned Xiao Zhao to go with him.
The two walked to the balcony, where the sun was shining brightly.
Looking ahead, there is a big river, and behind the river are a group of mountains.
Wen Ran pointed at one of the mountains and suddenly raised his voice and said, "I want to make money, a lot of money, one hundred million, and then take that mountain back!"
"ah?"
Xiao Zhao took two steps back, her mouth so surprised that she could fit a duck egg.
Wen Ran turned his head and gave Xiao Zhao a determined smile, "Xiao Zhao, I can do it, right?"
Xiao Zhao nodded with a stiff neck, still unable to accept Wen Ran's lofty goals.
Which girl earns money to buy a mountain?
Is Wen Ran drunk?
But they really only drank soda.
An autumn breeze blew by, and Wenran's hair was blown up by the wind. She casually placed her arms on the railing, looked at the distant mountains, and spoke slowly.
"That mountain was my mother's dowry. After my mother passed away, my heartless father sold it. He kept it a secret from me, and I only found out later."
As he spoke, a hint of sadness appeared in Wen Ran's eyes.
