"Xiaojun!" Shang Yechu felt a pang of pain in her heart, and couldn't help but tighten her grip on Jian Xiaojun's hand slightly. Jian Xiaojun was young, healthy, optimistic, and exceptionally talented. If even she couldn't endure such difficult times, how did Yang Huanyi manage those two years? —Pah! A line from an old drama flashed through Shang Yechu's mind: "If you die one day, you'll die a worthless death."
Shang Yechu shook his head and expelled the despicable Yang Huanyi from the country.
Jian Xiaojun mistakenly thought that Shang Yechu was heartbroken for her, so she couldn't help but shake her head. She was immediately moved and grabbed Shang Yechu's hand tightly: "Yechu, you and President Ji are both good people."
Shang Yechu's face flushed, feeling quite uncomfortable with this heavy accusation. She forced a smile and asked, "And then? Where did you go?"
Jian Xiaojun lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to go home. I'm thinking of going to work in another city. Just then, I came across an announcement from Guanjun Century recruiting screenwriters..."
Shang Yechu's brow twitched. Could Jian Xiaojun have fallen for his tricks again?
If Jian Xiaojun falls for it again, Shang Yechu will truly feel ashamed of the industry she's in. A promising young girl, a talented writer who penned "The Mute Woman" at twenty, has entered the entertainment industry and yet she's been repeatedly deceived. Is this some kind of northern Myanmar? How come there are so many shameless thieves everywhere? Even thieves know not to rob the same place twice!
It seems like our domestic entertainment industry is really doomed.
Jian Xiaojun glanced timidly at Shang Yechu, then lowered her head again: "I was thinking, who knows when a lawsuit will go on. I spoke out on Weibo before, accusing Tianding Entertainment of stealing scripts, but there were only two or three reposts and comments, it didn't make a splash at all. Would it be better if I spoke out after I became a famous screenwriter?"
"The thought of this possibility gives me renewed motivation. Imagine becoming a renowned screenwriter like Zheng Bohan, blasting Tianding Entertainment on Weibo, slapping them so hard their faces are swollen. One post gets hundreds of thousands of reposts, and netizens join me in cursing them..."
Jian Xiaojun's voice trailed off: "I know, being fooled by Tianding Entertainment once and still trusting Guanjun Century shows a lack of learning from past mistakes. But I think, how many bad people are there in the world?"
Shang Yechu couldn't help but want to interject: "We're all in the same circle, we're all birds of a feather." But Jian Xiaojun looked very sad, so she held back.
"Besides, this announcement was for recruiting screenwriters, not a script competition. The scripts are all in my head; no one can steal them. It seemed much more reliable than the competition from Tianding Entertainment. In the end, I still went."
"The success of 'The Mute Woman' alone wasn't enough, so I also included the stolen copy of 'The Edge of Justice' in my resume. In short, a lot of things happened in between, but I was selected and even signed a contract with Guanjun Century."
Suddenly, Shang Yechu felt a chill on the back of her hand. She looked down and saw that it was Jian Xiaojun's tears falling on her.
Jian Xiaojun began to sob softly, tears and snot dripping onto Shang Yechu's wrists, the back of his hands, and his sleeves. Suddenly, she lunged forward and hugged Shang Yechu tightly, wailing:
"I sold my words...for a pittance..."
