Jiaci Entertainment Company is located in the most prosperous area of the port city.
As soon as Wen Jiaojiao entered the company, someone was waiting for her. Li Xue stepped forward and greeted her warmly:
"Ms. Jiang, I'll be your assistant from now on. I'll take you to see Sister Wang now."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Jiaojiao, and after she left, they all started whispering among themselves.
"Is this the illegitimate daughter? She's actually quite pretty."
"What good is being pretty? Madam Jiang has already spoken to Sister Wang. She's going to suffer later."
"Did you know that Assistant Li specifically came to inform her this morning that she is not allowed to take on any intimate scenes?"
This shows that President Jiang cares about her. The entire company belongs to President Jiang; isn't it obvious which side she's on?
"The emperor is far away, and President Chiang is usually so busy; how could he possibly have the reach of Madame Chiang?"
Moreover, since Chiang Ci is still in the company, they will definitely side with Madam Chiang.
For a time, the entire Jiaci Company was divided into two factions: those who sided with Jiang Peitian treated Wen Jiaojiao with the same politeness and respect as Li Xue, while those who sided with Qi Meijing spoke coldly and rudely to her.
Inside the office, Wang Jia sat at her desk, answering the phone with an extremely polite tone:
"Hello? Is there something the boss wants to tell me?"
Li Zhu's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"An important person is coming over; be prepared to greet them."
"Okay, don't worry, everything will be arranged properly here."
Wang Jia chuckled and replied. After hanging up the phone, she happened to see Wen Jiaojiao walk in.
Her expression changed swiftly; she quickly suppressed her smile and nonchalantly tossed the script aside, saying:
"This TV series is invested by the company. You will play the villainous third female lead. You should practice your acting skills with Wang Ling and the others first. Filming will officially begin in a few days."
Li Xue eagerly stepped forward and picked up the script:
"Thank you, Sister Wang."
Wen Jiaojiao noticed her displeasure but didn't pay it any mind. Li Xue flipped through the script and, after walking a short distance out the door, whispered:
"Young Miss, it looks like the villainous third female lead in this script is going to get beaten up quite a bit."
If you don't want to act, just mention it to Mr. Jiang. I think the female lead suits your temperament and image quite well.
Knowing Jiang Peitian's attitude, Wen Jiaojiao naturally didn't want to rely on him. She said with relief:
"No need. These days, when I get beaten up in acting, it's just fake, not that serious. Besides, I'm already playing the third female lead right away, so I'm very satisfied."
Li Xue, holding the script, followed behind and said:
"You're the daughter of the Jiang family, the whole company belongs to your family, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Many people around Li Xue looked at her with envy and disdain. This position was very easy to rise to the top, but also easy to be sidelined by Qi Meijing.
I'm just an imposter, and I don't even know what their purpose is.
Wen Jiaojiao was lost in thought when suddenly, Wang Jia walked up behind her. Without even glancing at Wen Jiaojiao, she went straight to the door and gave the order:
"A few people, come and clean this place up, and prepare some tea. Someone important is coming over later."
Hearing the noise, everyone craned their necks to look outside, discussing, "Who is it? What a big commotion!"
"That's right, Sister Wang is the company's top agent. Even the biggest stars don't get this kind of treatment."
"Could it be that Madam came here specifically to teach that person a lesson?"
"Yes, that's possible."
As everyone talked, they craned their necks toward the door, trying to catch a glimpse of the exciting news.
Wen Jiaojiao immediately lost her gossipy mind and said:
"Is there a side door? I don't really want to squeeze out from here."
Li Xue led her toward the side door, saying helplessly:
"You were already so arrogant with just an unacknowledged illegitimate daughter, what do you have to be afraid of?"
The car stopped at the company entrance, and Wen Zhaoye got out, just in time to see Wen Jiaojiao turn and leave.
He paused, his mind instantly filled with all the promises he had made to her:
Just look at her like this.
Those around, seeing a face they'd never seen before, were even more curious. Wang Jia stepped forward, her attitude extremely polite:
"Hello, I'm Wang Jia. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do for you."
Wen Zhaoye only looked away after Wen Jiaojiao's figure disappeared around the corner, glancing at her once more.
"I'm here to find someone."
Li Zhu stood behind Wen Zhaoye and spoke up for him:
"Looking for our young lady."
After the two walked in, Wang Jia suddenly realized and said:
"Oh, you're the young lady's friend, right? But Jiang Ci hasn't arrived today yet. How about I call her and ask where she is? Would you like to come over?"
Wen Zhaoye sat on the sofa and explained:
"No, I don't know her. I'm here to find Jiaojiao."
Jiaojiao?
Jiang Jiaojiao?
Wang Jiayi understood, and the smile on her face froze instantly, but Li Zhu didn't dare to show any anger and said in a gentle voice:
What is your relationship with her?
Wen Zhaoye paused for two seconds, realizing that no form of address was suitable for the two of them, and lowered his gaze, saying:
"Someone I know very well."
Wang Jia immediately felt relieved:
"She went to the film studio. Do you want me to take you there?"
Li Zhu stood up: "No need, I'll take him."
The film and television base is divided into east and west sections. The east section is used for filming period dramas, while the west section features contemporary landscapes.
Wen Jiaojiao and Li Xue walked in, and everyone looked over at the same time. Wen Jiaojiao came up to Wang Ling and said:
"Hello, Sister Wang asked you to show me around."
Wang Ling sat on a recliner under the shed, glanced sideways, and said with a slightly arrogant air:
"You're Jiang Jiaojiao?"
Wen Jiaojiao: "..."
Damn, judging from his expression, he's the difficult type.
Wang Ling stood up casually:
"How about we try the middle section of Chapter Three?"
Wen Jiaojiao quickly took the script and glanced at it. She saw that the script described Li Yun slapping Liu Caishan hard.
She exclaimed in surprise, "They're already acting out a scene of getting beaten up right off the bat? Isn't that a bit too fast?"
Wang Ling took the coffee her assistant handed her, took a small sip, and said:
"If it doesn't work, then forget it. But don't blame me if you don't know how to use the right amount of force when you actually turn it on that day."
Even if it's just a rehearsal today, it won't stop you from being ruthless the other day.
The people here are so hard to get along with.
Wen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, knowing the principle that one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof, and remained silent.
The two were talking, completely unaware that Wen Zhaoye was approaching from behind them.
He stood there, staring blankly at Wen Jiaojiao not far away, and said to the man beside him:
Why does everyone treat her this way?
Li Zhu dared not mention Jiang Peitian's indulgence and Qi Meijing's suppression at all, and said:
"People in the entertainment industry who are somewhat famous tend to be arrogant, so it's not appropriate for the boss to directly intervene in such a small matter."
Wen Zhaoye: "..."
This seems like a good idea.
Only by suffering can they be less resistant to being with me.
