340: A stubborn person will never be sweet if he forces it.
Xu Yao went straight to the point. Wen Yiyi didn't expect her to ask about this. Xu Yao didn't seem to care much about it in Teacher Li's office that day.
——Humph, you are really pretending not to care!
Wen Yiyi was already embarrassed to ask Xu Yao for help. When she heard Xu Yao question her lying, she curled her lips:
"I donated the money to get Teacher Li's praise. If Gu Jun doesn't want to repay the favor, that's fine, but you, my ex-wife, actually forced me to say that I didn't donate the money. Fine, if thinking this way makes you two happy, then just pretend the money wasn't donated by me!"
Xu Yao chuckled. "We've known each other since we were kids. How could I not know what kind of personality you have? I used to think I shouldn't think too badly of you. Your petty thoughts might just be directed at me, but Teacher Li said it wasn't you who donated the money. I believe Teacher Li wouldn't lie."
"I can't lie either!"
Wen Yiyi reacted violently as if someone had stepped on her tail: "Why can't I do a good deed for once? Has Teacher Li never lied in his life?"
Wen Yiyi originally wanted to say that Xu Qinghua was not a good person either.
What good person would lose his fortune?
What good person would commit suicide by jumping into the sea after owing 300 million in debt and leaving the mess to his wife and daughter!
Wen Yiyi only endured the complaints because she needed Xu Yao's help.
"If you want to reconcile with Gu Jun, then do so. Do you have to use my achievements as a stepping stone to reconcile?"
Wen Yiyi muttered softly.
Xu Yao certainly didn't want to reconcile with Gu Jun.
Ever since she last met Fu Hong's lover, Mr. An, Xu Yao often dreams of Xu Qinghua.
She wanted to know everything about Xu Qinghua's life.
How could a man who treats his wife and daughter well and has a successful career suddenly become addicted to gambling?
Xu Yao's heart was also wavering.
She needed to prove how good Xu Qinghua was in other ways, and to maintain his shaky image as a father. Especially when Xu Yao worked more than ten hours a day, she needed this kind of mental support to convince herself that it was worth it to work so hard to earn money to help Xu Qinghua pay off his debts.
"You go."
Xu Yao stood up and said, "When you figure it out, come find me again."
"you--"
Wen Yiyi wanted to say something, but Xu Yao left her in the lounge. Wen Yiyi was so angry that she wanted to pound the table.
After sulking for a while, Wen Yiyi had no choice but to leave.
Wen Yiyi called Wen Zhicheng after going downstairs: "Xu Yao doesn't want to help at all. She called me over just to humiliate me!"
Wen Zhicheng was actually mentally prepared.
If he really wanted to help, he could just go find Xu Yao. The fact that he had to see Wen Yiyi meant he didn't want to help.
Wen Zhicheng held back his anger and asked Wen Yiyi about the meeting.
Hearing that Xu Yao asked about the donation, Wen Zhicheng was a little nervous: "What did you say?"
“I said the donor is me!”
Wen Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, from now on, no matter who asks you, you must answer like this."
Wen Zhicheng had previously been a bit skeptical about Wen Yiyi's donation, but his last meeting with Teacher Li had confirmed that it wasn't Wen Yiyi who had donated. But now that things had come to this, he had to insist it was Wen Yiyi.
With Gu Jun's personality, who knows how he will retaliate after finding out that Wen Yiyi lied about the donation!
Wen Zhicheng no longer seeks to gain any benefits from Gu Jun through this matter, he just wants to avoid being hated and retaliated by Gu Jun.
Anyway, the other party involved, Xu Qinghua, is already dead, and as long as Wen Yiyi doesn't change her words, she and Teacher Li will each have their own version of the story, and Gu Jun can only ignore it for the time being.
"I'm not stupid."
Wen Yiyi didn't want to continue discussing the donation and skipped the topic directly: "Dad, what should we do now? If Xu Yao doesn't agree, Dream Maker won't accept my custom order. I...or, you can talk to Aunt Lin again?"
Wen Yiyi knew that the person Xu Yao cared about most was Lin Meixian.
If Lin Meixian asked Xu Yao to help her, Xu Yao would definitely agree.
Wen Zhicheng thought about it but didn't agree: "A forced melon is not sweet. Even if you use your Aunt Lin to pressure Xu Yao into agreeing, it's useless for Dream Maker to agree to customize a short play for you. Any part that is not done with enough care will affect your traffic!"
Wen Yiyi was unhappy, "Dad, you don't dare to ask Aunt Lin for help?"
Wen Zhicheng really didn't dare.
Lin Meixian is now tied up with Wen Zhicheng's business. Wen Zhicheng lacks cash flow because he has invested all his money. The more projects Lin Meixian introduces to Wen Zhicheng, the more say she has in front of Wen Zhicheng... Lin Meixian has already refused to help Wen Yiyi shoot a short drama once. If she knew that Wen Zhicheng bypassed her and found Xu Yao, Lin Meixian would be very angry!
If the short drama turns out to be of poor quality and Lin Meixian gets angry, Wen Zhicheng will be caught in a dilemma.
Wen Yiyi also knows that things are different now. Wen Zhicheng relies on Lin Meixian. Wen Yiyi has to be polite and call her "Auntie Lin" in person, and she can no longer call Lin Meixian a vixen behind her back. Wen Zhicheng will be angry if he hears that.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do now?"
Wen Yiyi didn't mean to complain, she was really anxious.
Xu Yao slapped her twice and woke her up. She really wants to pursue her career now.
But the more she tried to achieve results, the less effective it became. The number of followers on her account was even worse than when she had just casually updated it before.
Wen Yiyi used to laugh at Xu Yao's attempts to become an internet celebrity, but now that it's her turn to become one, she's discovered it's not so easy. Xu Yao had no support when she started her own media, but Wen Yiyi was paid a lot of money to run it. If she still can't make it work, then isn't the gap between her and Xu Yao's abilities huge?
This is a fact that Wen Yiyi is absolutely unwilling to admit.
She felt that she had entered this industry too late.
People like Xu Yao who entered the industry a few years ago have taken the lead and now everything goes smoothly for them.
Xu Yao not only became an internet celebrity to promote products, but also became a shareholder of a short drama company. Many of her "Dream-Making" short dramas became popular. Wen Yiyi didn't even dare to think about how much money Xu Yao had made.
At the current rate, Xu Yao will be able to pay off the debts owed by Xu Qinghua soon, right?
After paying off the debt, Xu Yao is still a big internet celebrity who earns hundreds of millions of yuan a year, earning more than some big companies alone.
Once she thought about it carefully, the feeling of suffocation was about to overwhelm Wen Yiyi. She was getting further and further away from Xu Yao. Could she really catch up with her?
"Dad, please help me think of a solution. Only you can help me!"
Wen Yiyi urged again.
Wen Zhicheng pondered, "Let's find another short play company. This time, choose the script carefully. If you really don't know how to choose, go to the rankings on those literary websites and look for books one by one. I heard that many short plays are adapted from online novels. If you choose a novel that is already very popular, the effect after adapting it into a short play should be good!"
It seems that this is the only way.
Wen Zhicheng has already prepared himself mentally for the possibility that two more of Wen Yiyi's short dramas will fail.
I only have this one daughter, so I have to spend the money I should!
