Jiang mentioned some things about the Lu family. However, even though she did not mention anything specific, Shen Yichen already understood the situation.
“You made the right decision.” Shen Yichen replied as he leaned against his work desk. “As for Vera, she probably has her own considerations. Moreover, haven’t you made the preparation to lose her ever since a long time ago? Haven’t you already been preparing for this day ever since she began doing some agency work for the film emperor, Xiao Chennan?”
“But I do not want us to leave just like that.”
Vera was not the kind of person who would abandon her just because she wanted to retreat out of anger. She knew that Vera must have had a reason for acting this way but even the film emperor, Xiao Chennan did not know the reason at all.
“Then, the both of you should have a good chat later.”
Jiang Yuning nodded slightly. When Vera entered the door, Shen Yichen picked up some documents as he prepared to head out to make a report to Gu Pingsheng.
As soon as he left the office, the atmosphere in the office was very quiet and silent.
“Did Director Shen tell you about it yet? I am preparing to take a new artiste under my wing.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yuning nodded slightly before she said, “I will also be busy after joining the crew in a few days’ time. Moreover, I will not have a lot of activities going on after my movie. It is only right for you to find someone else to train and guide.”
Vera could not help but chuckle after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words. This was because she felt that Empress Jiang was really too calm and sensible. At this time, she should be questioning her and asking her why she could just change and make such an outrageous decision in a few days.
“Director Shen will arrange another better and more capable agent for you…”
“No need. I have the young paparazzo to help assist me,” Jiang Yuning rejected directly. “Vera, to the public, you will always be my exclusive agent. Of course, you have always been with me throughout all my ups and downs. You were also there to witness all my glorious moments. Since the situation has ended up like this, you should not block this road directly. You will always have a chance to work things out with me.”
“We do not have to be enemies just because of work, right?”
Vera held her hands tightly together at this time. She was obviously trying to keep her emotions under control.
“I do not understand why you can make our relationship so tense and awkward in just one day. And perhaps, you will not understand why I am choosing to semi-retire and back out from the spotlight just like this. However, I have no choice but to converge and do what I can because of the Lu family. As for you, it does not matter if you want me to tell you what to do or not because I will never stop you from doing what you want to. Some things can be easily resolved if we would just open up and talk about it. No matter what the outcome is, I hope that we will not end up as enemies.”
After she was done speaking, Jiang Yuning turned around as she prepared to leave Shen Yichen’s office.
She finally saw a whole different side of Vera. It seemed as though Vera also had her own temper and she could also get angry.
At this time, Vera suddenly spoke up. “Some time ago, Brother Chennan’s family came to speak to me. They did not try to break up my relationship with him but there was contempt in their words and I knew that they disliked my career. However, because you were the artiste under my care, I had the confidence. I had the confidence because you were a top-notch artiste and that gave me the right to speak up for myself. When you suddenly told me that you were going to retreat from the spotlight, I found it really difficult to accept that fact. That is the reason…”
“That is why you have to re-train and take another new artiste under your win to prove your own abilities and skills.” Jiang Yuning completed Vera’s sentence for her. “I have never once doubted in your ability, Vera but are you sure that you want to prove yourself because of someone so irrelevant? What kind of relatives are you talking about? Did his mother express her opinions of you?”
Vera did not reply.
“Actually, I know that you have already been planning to leave. This is because everyone is always saying that I can form a company on my own. Therefore, no matter what happens, no one remembers what you have done and no one gives you any credit for anything at all.”
“That is probably why the other party’s remarks are etched so deeply in your heart and mind.”
“It does not matter what happens anyway. Even if you really decide to take another new artiste under your wing, to the public, you will always be my exclusive agent.”
Jiang Yuning knew that she had to let go so that Vera would be able to grow and flourish.
