Yan Qingsi patted Yue Tingfeng on the chest and said, “I’ll thank you once you’re done helping me, boss.”
“You better make sure it comes with an extremely special gift.”
Yan Qingsi’s smile was as sly as her eyes were mischievous. “No problem boss. You satisfy my wishes, and I’ll satisfy your wildest dreams.”
Yue Tingfeng’s heart fluttered with excitement. “Okay sure, but… you must guarantee that you won’t have any scandals or rumors with any other movie star.”
“Well, that’s out of my control. I can only guarantee that I won’t go looking for scandals, but I have no control over what the other media outlets want to say.”
Yue Tingfeng wrapped his arm around her waist and said, “That you don’t have to worry. If anyone dares to spread any rumors about you, I will gladly shut them down.”
Yan Qingsi rolled her eyes and replied, “You’re rich, you can do whatever you want.”
“Jin Xuechu fed you fruits yesterday.”
“What about it? You want to feed me too?”
“Why yes, I had my men buy a truckload of dragonfruits. They’re waiting outside just for you.”
Yan Qingsi, “….”
…
After Yue Tingfeng left, Yan Qingsi called up Miss Mai and gave her a proper scolding. However, amid all the dressing-down, Yan Qingsi actually felt a comforting warmth.
Miss Mai filled in an amount of one yuan because she did not want to betray Yan Qingsi on an emotional level. She did not want to stand to gain anything from the forced betrayal. That was the only way she could think of in that critical moment.
The fact that Miss Mai was willing to go through all that for her was already commendable in itself.
That night when the two of them met, Yan Qingsi passed the check over to Miss Mai. Miss Mai hugged the check in joy for over half an hour, salivating over the sheer amount of money written on it. However, in the end, she still put it down and spoke rationally. “Qingsi, I can’t take this money. No, don’t fret and hear me out first. If I wanted the money, I would’ve already filled in the amount yesterday, but if I really did do that, I would’ve truly betrayed you. This kind of betrayal is never-ending. If there’s a first, there would be a second, and a third. If someone came in next time with a higher offer than Yue Tingfeng—someone even more powerful—would I have to sell you out again too?”
Yan Qingsi was touched. She proceeded to explain, “But I got this for you.”
“I know, but I really can’t take this. I’m a manager so I must have my integrity. I asked for one yuan, so that is my price. This money is yours, not mine. Anyway, even though I only earned one yuan, I am in no way at a loss. With the Yue Company as our backer, this whole entertainment industry is our oyster. There’ll no doubt be countless resources and sponsorship flowing in soon enough. This is a golden hen, my dear!”
“Miss Mai, thank you for everything.” Yan Qingsi was not angry that the studio was sold to the Yue Company. She understood that to go far in the industry, they had to have a substantive backer on their side, and the Yue Company is undoubtedly one of the most solid backers you can get.
Yan Qingsi never even dared to dream that Miss Mai could achieve such a feat.
In this materialistic and dog-eat-dog world that they live in, to stay loyal and not betray someone—even in such trying circumstances—it is a fairy tale in itself.
Miss Mai heaved a long sigh before saying, “I, too, feel it’s a pity to let go of such a sum of money. So Qingsi, you must tame this thief, Yue Tingfeng. You must make him love you like no other. You must help me get my payback.”
“You still worry about that? Taming him is only a matter of time.”
“I trust you can do it. Go get ’em, you vixen!”
After sending Miss Mai off, Yan Qingsi quickly changed and headed out the door.
She had been busy with her shooting schedule for the past few days that it had delayed her plans with Tang Yuyao. Her plans were almost coming to fruition, and there can be no more delays.
She wants to use the unborn child in Tang Yuyao to unleash a bloodbath upon the Yan family.
The Yan family have been having it good for far too long.
