Nighttime, inside a hospital ward.
Exhausted, Jiang Xue returned to the ward. Looking at the petite figure lying on the hospital bed, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
She knelt down, half-kneeling beside the hospital bed: "Baby... Mommy will definitely save you..."
Just then, she noticed a figure standing at the door of the ward.
She wiped away her tears, opened the door, and looked surprised to see the person standing outside.
Jiang Ran smiled at her: "Can we talk?"
Jiang Xue was filled with doubt. She glanced back at the person on the hospital bed and nodded to her.
The two arrived at the end of the hospital corridor, and Jiang Xue spoke first: "You shouldn't have come to see me, should you?"
She is Jiang Xinrou's agent. Jiang Xinrou and Jiang Ran have always been at odds. What could she possibly want from her?
Seeing that she was so direct, Jiang Ran didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Then I'll be blunt, I want to poach you, do you want to consider it?"
"Wh...what?" Jiang Xue's eyes widened in shock, completely unexpected that Jiang Ran would say such a thing.
She...she actually wanted to dig herself out?
Is it fake? Could there be some kind of conspiracy?
"You must be wondering why I would recruit an agent who has been dismissed by major companies?"
"Why...why?"
"It's very simple. The purpose I'm using you for is the same as Jiang Minghui's purpose. You've been dismissed by major entertainment companies, so you can only do your best to do the work I assign you. Compared to others, you are obviously more useful."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue laughed self-deprecatingly: "So that's how it is... Then what's the difference between the job you're giving me and my current job? Why should I give up my current job to work for you? If you're just playing me, then I won't even be able to keep this only job."
“The treatment I offer you will naturally be better than what Jiang Minghui offers.” Jiang Ran still smiled. “I can give you three times your current monthly salary, and your job will only involve managing artists; you won’t have to do those tea-serving and water-pouring tasks anymore.”
Jiang Xue was somewhat moved; three times the salary...
She turned her head to look at the ward, hesitating in her heart.
She desperately needs money right now, but the salary Jiang Minghui pays her is the lowest in the industry, which is simply not enough to cover the high medical expenses.
But she had no choice. Years ago, she made a mistake that caused huge losses to the company, which led to her being expelled from the entire industry and no one was willing to hire her anymore.
Even if Jiang Xinrou is difficult to please, she can only continue to be subservient. This is the only job she can hold onto. If she loses even this job, her child will be beyond saving.
What Jiang Ran said now was very tempting to her, but she was somewhat skeptical of her words.
Jiang Ran and Jiang Xinrou have always been at odds. She knows very well how much Jiang Xinrou hates Jiang Ran. What if she is just playing with her words?
If she can't find a job here and offends Jiang Xinrou there, what will happen to her child if she loses her only job?
Jiang Ran noticed her concerns and thought for a moment before saying, "I know it's hard for you to believe me. If you're worried, we can sign a contract first. If I breach the contract, you can sue me."
Jiang Xue was somewhat tempted, after all, it was three times the salary...
With three times the salary, saving for two years would be enough to cover the child's surgery costs.
Can...
Just as she was hesitating, she received a call from Jiang Xinrou.
As soon as I answered the phone, I was bombarded with a barrage of insults.
"Where the hell have you been?!"
"I asked you for leave yesterday... I need to come to the hospital today to take care of the baby..."
"He's not dead, why are you taking leave?! Don't you know there's so much going on right now? Haven't you seen how bad my reputation is online? Aren't you going to hurry up and think of a solution..."
Jiang Xue listened in silence, took a deep breath, and hung up the phone.
She sighed heavily and looked at Jiang Ran with a determined gaze.
I promise you.
For so many years, she was treated worse than a dog by Jiang Xinrou's side.
She'd had enough! She was a human being too!
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, took out a card from her bag and stuffed it into her hand: "Then come to sign the contract tomorrow. Consider this a gift. Let's get the child's surgery done first."
Jiang Xue's eyes widened in disbelief, her pupils trembling with shock.
She looked down at the card in her palm, and large tears slid down her cheeks, landing on the back of her hand.
She sniffed and knelt down.
"Thanks..."
Jiang Xue was so grateful that she didn't know what to say; only the word "thank you" could express everything.
Her child fell ill last year and needed 500,000 yuan for surgery.
Five hundred thousand is just a drop in the ocean for people in the entertainment industry, but it's an astronomical sum for her.
She once begged Jiang Xinrou to lend her 500,000 yuan for her child's surgery, but was met with ridicule in return.
She originally thought it would take another two years to raise enough money for the surgery, but she never expected Jiang Ran to be willing to lend her a helping hand.
The sooner the child can have surgery, the sooner her suffering will end; she will always remember this kindness!
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Come to this address to sign the contract tomorrow," Jiang Ran said, giving her the address of Jiang Huaijing Company.
"Okay! Thank you..."
As Jiang Ran walked out of the hospital, she looked up at the sky; the moon was completely hidden behind dark clouds.
With a slight smile, she sent the message to Jiang Huaijing.
There's a reason why she was so determined to poach Jiang Xinrou's agent.
Firstly, as she just said, Jiang Xue was dismissed by all companies in the entertainment industry, and in order to survive, she had no choice but to work desperately for herself.
Secondly, because she is Jiang Xinrou's agent, she knows all of Jiang Xinrou's plans and resources for the coming year, making it easier for her to snatch them away.
Thirdly, because in her previous life, Jiang Xinrou's role as the female lead in the hit drama "Asking About Love" was secured by Jiang Xue.
In the initial casting for "Asking About Love", Jiang Xinrou was only a supporting actress. It was Jiang Xue who helped her go from a supporting actress to the lead actress.
She was willing to risk everything for her child's medical expenses. In her previous life, she was rejected by producers hundreds of times, and she drank until she had a stomach hemorrhage before she finally helped Jiang Xinrou secure the lead role in the drama "Asking About Love".
That was an exceptionally well-developed character. If the character hadn't been so outstanding, Jiang Xinrou's acting skills might not have made her a star.
In this life, she will absolutely not allow Jiang Xinrou to come into contact with "Asking About Love", and she will not give her any chance to become famous!
The next afternoon, Jiang Xue arrived at Jiang Huaijing's office as promised.
Jiang Ran sat down on the sofa, raised an eyebrow at her, and asked, "How did the surgery go?"
Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Ran with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Ms. Jiang. The surgery was completed this morning. The doctor said it went very smoothly and I will recover quickly with proper care."
"Okay, then take a look at the contract first, but don't sign it yet."
Jiang Xue looked at her with some confusion: "Hmm? Why?"
"Before signing, I need you to do something for me, in the name of Jiang Xinrou's agent."
Jiang Xue was puzzled for a second, then immediately understood and smiled knowingly.
"Okay, I understand. I will definitely handle this matter to your satisfaction."
