After returning home, Qin Yuanyao began planning to terminate her contract with Yu Xin and her agency.
Her contract still has more than two years left. If she were to terminate it now, Yu Xin and her agency would definitely not let her go and would certainly make her pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.
She plans to terminate the contract by suing Yu Xin and her agency for infringing on her right to reputation.
Therefore, she needs to collect relevant evidence, including that Yu Xin and her agency disregarded her personal wishes and used her to create hype with other artists, causing her to be criticized by the entire internet, as well as accusations that she acted like a diva on set and bullied extras, etc.
The recording of her conversation with Yu Xin yesterday should serve as evidence.
However, this one piece of evidence is clearly not enough. It is possible that neither Yu Xin nor her agency will admit it and may even turn around and accuse her.
She needs to gather more evidence!
As Qin Yuanyao pondered, she wrote down the evidence she needed to collect in her notebook.
Chi Nao sent her a WeChat voice message.
"Sister Qin, did you go to the audition today? How did it go?" Chi Nao's sweet and soft voice came from the other end of the phone, which brightened Qin Yuanyao's gloomy mood a lot.
Qin Yuanyao told Chi Naozi that she was going to audition today.
But she didn't expect that Chi Cheese would specifically send a voice message to ask her.
Qin Yuanyao hesitated for a few seconds, then told the truth, "It's not very good. I guess I'm not destined for that drama."
Pool cheese is not surprising.
This result is the same as what my mother said ten years later.
What she was more concerned about was...
"Has something bad happened?"
She was terrified that something bad had happened, that her mother had been bullied.
Qin Yuanyao was taken aback by her question.
Something bad?
What bad thing happened?
She was asked to leave before she even finished her audition. Does that count?
"Uh... it's alright, the production team wasn't very satisfied with my audition."
Chi Cheese frowned in confusion.
Is this the bad thing that Mom was talking about ten years later?
Chi Cheese didn't quite understand, but she had a vague feeling that it might not be true.
She scratched her head, completely bewildered, and decided to comfort her mother first.
"I've watched Sister Qin's TV dramas. Sister Qin's acting skills are very good. I'm sure there will be more dramas for you to act in in the future."
Chi Cheese spoke with such conviction that it made Qin Yuanyao's mood even brighter.
She felt she didn't need comforting, so this wasn't the first time it had happened; she was already used to it.
But she had to admit that Chi Nao's sweet and innocent words comforted her.
Perhaps that's the charm of the little dumpling.
"Sister Qin, do you remember you promised to teach me to write?" Chi Nao asked.
Qin Yuanyao quickly remembered that she had indeed promised Chi Naozi that on the show.
She thought Chi Nai was just saying it casually, but she never expected that Chi Nai remembered it so clearly.
"I remember."
"Are you free to teach me to write today?" Chi Nao asked.
Qin Yuanyao looked at the notebook in her hand.
Anyway, collecting evidence isn't something that can be done in a day or two, so let's start by teaching Chi Cheese to write.
Yes, there is.
Chi Nai's sweet little voice became noticeably excited, "Sister Qin, where are you? I'm coming to find you. Will you teach me to write?"
Just as Qin Yuanyao was about to say "okay," Yu Xin called her.
"Cheese, wait a minute, I need to take this call."
After Qin Yuanyao finished speaking with Chi Nao, she answered the phone call from Yu Xin.
Before answering the call, she pressed the record button as usual.
"Mr. Liao, the investor of 'Luckily I Met You,' just contacted me. He is very interested in your audition and would like to invite you to dinner tonight to talk about the role you auditioned for."
Qin Yuanyao was stunned after hearing Yu Xin's words.
Are the investors very interested in her audition?
But their actions this morning clearly didn't seem like they were very interested in her audition.
She remembered that the thin, short, middle-aged man with glasses sitting next to the director was Mr. Liao, the investor.
When the director and producer interrupted her and gave their opinions, Ms. Liao remained silent throughout.
Was he very interested in her audition at the time?
"Sister Xin, didn't President Liao tell you? I didn't finish my audition this morning, and the director made me leave. He also said he hates people like me who would do anything to become famous, and that he won't let people like me audition again."
Yu Xin laughed dismissively, "Do you think the director or the investors are more powerful in a drama? You're not some famous director, so how can you have any say in front of the investors?"
Qin Yuanyao did not speak.
"Didn't you say your goal is to become an actor, and that you want to go further and longer as an actor? Now an opportunity is right in front of you, don't you want to seize it?"
"Just a meal?" Qin Yuanyao asked incredulously.
"Yes, that's what Mr. Liao told me. I'll send you the restaurant address in a bit. Not everyone can get the investors' favor, so you'd better seize this opportunity." After Yu Xin finished speaking, she hung up the phone and sent the address.
She repeatedly emphasized in her voice message that Qin Yuanyao should not be late and should not leave a bad impression on the investors.
The address Yu Xin sent was for a very famous star-rated hotel.
Qin Yuanyao hesitated for a moment, then decided to go and take a look.
But if she has to go to a dinner party that evening, she won't have time to teach Chi Cheese to write; she has to prepare.
"Cheese, I'm sorry, something came up and I can't teach you to write today. I'll teach you another day, okay?" Qin Yuanyao sent a voice message to Chi Cheese.
"Okay." Chi Nao wasn't bothered at all. "Sister Qin, what's up?"
"I'm going out for dinner tonight to talk about the role I auditioned for today."
Upon hearing this, alarm bells went off in Chi Nao's mind.
She knew her mother ultimately didn't get the role. So why did she still take her mother out to dinner to discuss the character?
Could it be that the bad thing Mom was talking about was actually referring to eating?
"Sister Qin, where are you going to eat?" Chi Nao asked crisply.
"Xinghai Hotel," Qin Yuanyao told her the hotel's name.
"Sister Qin, you go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you with the cheese."
After ending her voice chat with Qin Yuanyao, Chi Nao sent a voice message to Chi Baiyi.
"Dad, I want to go to Xinghai Hotel for dinner tonight. Will you take me?"
...
Although Yu Xinqian repeatedly told her not to be late, Qin Yuanyao still deliberately arrived more than ten minutes late.
She stood in front of the private room at the Xinghai Hotel, making a final check to ensure the hidden camera and recording equipment were working properly before knocking on the door. Only after receiving permission from the person inside did she push the door open and go in.
As soon as she opened the door and saw the scene inside, Qin Yuanyao's heart sank.
Yu Xin, you really didn't disappoint me. You made me even more determined to terminate my contract with you.
