First of all, she was slandered.
Secondly, even if Bai Qingchi was hit, so what? In the previous life, Bai Qingchi and Zhao Xichen worked together to push her into the sea. Even if Bai Qingchi's hands were broken, it would be justified.
“I don’t need your apology. I just need you to go back to the manor,” Zheng Lin said coldly.
This morning, Zheng Lin received a threat from his grandfather: if he didn't coax Su Jin back within a month, his grandfather would jump into the river and make him bear the blame for being an unfilial son.
Zheng Lin certainly didn't believe the old man would jump into the river, but all morning, no matter what he was doing, the old man would come over and talk to him about it, repeating over and over which river he was about to jump into. It made it impossible for him to do anything.
He couldn't imagine being harassed like this by the old man every day afterward.
Su Jin clenched her small fists. "I'm not going back. I'll stay at my own home just fine."
"So, do you agree? If you do, the lawyer's letter will be withdrawn immediately."
"No, I have one more condition."
"speak."
Sometimes, even when you're at a disadvantage, you can turn the tide.
Su Jin gave a fawning smile, "Give me an advance on some of the inheritance. As long as the inheritance is in place, everything is negotiable."
"No."
"mean!"
Zheng Lin: "Whatever you need, Assistant Gao can buy it for you."
Su Jin gave him a fake smile, "Then there's nothing to talk about. Goodbye."
In the following days, Su Jin couldn't contact Zheng Lin at all; he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Su Jin took her assistant Gao with her everywhere she went, and always had Gao hold Zheng Lin's card and pay for everything behind her back.
Driven by a bit of revenge, he bought several yachts and also purchased two valuable diamonds.
She also bought some strange and unusual things, such as the world's first recorded speech, which she bought for ten million.
The voice had a slight regional accent, and it only said one sentence: "Hey, have you eaten?"
So every day before eating, she would listen to "the first audio recording in world history," and she took pictures of this seemingly useless thing, feeling proud of it.
When Assistant Gao reported this to Zheng Lin, Zheng Lin's expression must have been extremely distorted.
Just thinking about it made Su Jin overjoyed. She thought to herself: Hahaha, so you won't give me an inheritance, then I'll squander your money and make you feel the pinch.
In the study, Zheng Lin turned a page of his book and answered the phone.
Assistant Gao's voice came through: "Boss, the boss's wife recently bought a lot of things. Should I send you the list?"
"No need. Let her buy it."
"I've already spent 300 million, and now I visit auction houses every day."
"Let her buy it, no matter how much it costs. As long as the money isn't spent on the Su Group, she doesn't need to tell me."
After hanging up the phone, Assistant Gao on the other end realized that the boss was afraid that his wife would run away, so he hadn't given her any inheritance, and the money hadn't been wasted on her.
But if I don't say it directly, will the landlady understand?
Given that he hasn't shown up at all and is playing hard to get, the landlady probably wouldn't understand.
After finishing her volunteer work, Su Jin sat in the chairman's office to eat.
Assistant Wang glanced at the important matters in the record and tentatively asked, "Well... Young Master Zheng is sick, should we go and visit him?"
"You're sick, but you're not dead, right? If you're not dead, that goes without saying."
Assistant Wang: "......"
Assistant Wang turned to leave, and Assistant Gao immediately asked him, "What did you say?"
Assistant Wang shook his head helplessly, "Perhaps having your boss pretend to be dead would still give you a chance."
So, in the afternoon, Su Jin received the news that Zheng Lin had a terminal illness.
She looked at Assistant Gao and was stunned for a moment: "You're going to die? You were perfectly fine just a few days ago. How could you have a terminal illness? You're lying to me."
Assistant Gao: "It happened so suddenly, that's why the boss hasn't come to see you these past few days. He's afraid you'll be sad for him if you find out."
"No, he can't die. He absolutely can't die." Su Jin became anxious. If he died, wouldn't Zhao Xichen's inheritance become Zheng's Group's? Then she wouldn't be able to get that inheritance.
Assistant Gao was very gratified. The boss's wife really did have feelings for the boss. Upon hearing such bad news, she was like an ant on a hot pan. If this wasn't love, what was it?
It can't be a debt that's already been incurred.
Before visiting Zheng Lin, Su Jin bought two bags of ingredients, intending to have the maid make soup for her and then deliver it to Zheng Lin. She thought this might move Zheng Lin, and perhaps the inheritance would be given to her immediately.
As soon as I stepped out of the mall, I ran into agent Gao Wei.
Gao Wei felt lucky today. He had been thinking about signing a girl who looked just like Bai Qingchi, but she was indifferent and only wanted to sign with Wudu Entertainment. Seeing her going out to buy groceries, he guessed it was a dead end.
If we can sign her at a low price, she can replace Bai Qingchi in that drama, and we won't have to pay the breach of contract penalty.
"Oh, little girl, it's you again."
Gao Wei, pulling Su Jin along, laughed heartily: "You're here to buy groceries? Look how bad your life is. Why don't you sign a contract with me, earn more money, and if you do well in the future, you can hire a housekeeper to cook for you. You won't need to buy groceries and cook for yourself anymore."
Su Jin quickly distanced herself from her; Gao Wei looked like a human trafficker.
It's not surprising. Gao Wei had signed many young women before, paying them below market price and pocketing all the money.
Bai Qingchi had a wealthy backer and a fan base, so Gao Wei didn't dare to act recklessly.
"I think I made it very clear that day that I had no intention of signing a contract."
"Heh." Gao Wei sneered disdainfully.
His eyes scanned her clothes with a sharp gaze, and he couldn't tell which roadside stall she was wearing that had bought the cheap clothes.
"If you don't sign with me, how much do you earn a month? Do you even make four thousand yuan?"
Su Jin: "?"
She also noticed what Gao Wei was looking at—her clothes.
This outfit was specially prepared for my volunteer work this morning; I was looking for something affordable and approachable.
Su Jin answered truthfully, "I don't have a job." Since no one pays her a salary, it's the same as not having a job. The chairman position is just a trivial one.
When Gao Wei heard that this person was unemployed, he felt that the success rate was even higher.
Originally, he was thinking of signing her for four thousand yuan, but now he had no worries at all and directly cut the price down to one thousand: "It's better if you don't have a job, and you don't have to quit. Three thousand a month, sign me. I happen to have a leading role in a drama, and you can start filming immediately after signing. I guarantee you'll be a superstar in less than three years."
The entertainment industry was no stranger to Su Jin; she used to be a nobody actress. Agents like this, who make grand promises and seem to have a bright future, are actually just playing with people's fools.
Su Jin didn't want to expose her directly, "She has no experience, so she probably can't act it out."
These young actors are all good actors in real life, but their acting skills aren't necessarily as good on screen. Su Jin is the same.
Gao Wei didn't realize that Su Jin was acting for her. She just thought the girl was too young and inexperienced, and it was normal for her to bend over for a mere three thousand yuan.
Gao Wei reassured her, "It's okay, acting isn't that complicated."
Su Jin replied with little interest: "Sorry, I'm still not interested."
"Young lady, don't be ungrateful. This opportunity is something others would be eager to have. Look how many people want this kind of opportunity every day, and I still won't give it to them."
