Yuan Lai felt that the atmosphere at the table tonight was very strange — Xu Ye would look at Jiang Yu when he was free, while Li Yue would pick on Jiang Yu from time to time.
Yuan Lai actually wanted to speak up for Jiang Yu, but she secretly pulled him back, hinting for him not to say anything more.
Yuan Lai did not understand, but this was after all someone else’s matter, so he could only eat in silence.
Until the end of the meal, Yuan Lai didn’t open his mouth to liven up the atmosphere.
“Thank you for your hospitality.” Jiang Yu smiled and patted Yuan Lai’s shoulder. “If there’s a chance next time, I’ll definitely treat you back.”
“No need. This is what I should do as a junior.” Yuan Lai smiled, but he didn’t reject Jiang Yu’s intentions.
Jiang Yu was just about to laugh and tease Yuan Lai a little, “What do you mean junior isn’t a junior? Since we’re filming together, then we’re friends. It’s normal for friends to treat each other back.”
“Ah… Yes, yes.” For some reason, Yuan Lai didn’t dare to speak to Li Yue.
“Yuan Lai, you seem to be afraid of me?” Li Yue looked at Yuan Lai with amusement.
But before Yuan Lai could reply, Li Yue received a call from the advertiser.
Sister He pulled Li Yue to the side, she handed the phone to her. “Look at the mess you’ve caused after being willful! I’ve already received a scolding just to plead for you! But the advertiser is very angry and thinks that you’re acting like a big shot!”
“What’s wrong with them? Didn’t you explain it clearly?” Li Yue was a little impatient.
“I’ve said it clearly enough, but what’s the use? They didn’t listen to my explanation at all. What can I do?!” Sister He was also very angry. She felt that Li Yue’s actions were completely irresponsible.
The ringtone of the phone kept ringing, causing Li Yue to become more and more impatient. She directly hung up the phone.
“Are you crazy?!” Sister He exclaimed, “You even dare to hang up on an advertiser?!”
“What’s the big deal?” Li Yue rubbed her hair in annoyance. “So what if I hung up…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the advertiser called again.
Sister He was worried that Li Yue would hang up again, so she answered the call before she could.
“Hello? CEO Xiang, it’s me, it’s me, I’m Li Yue’s manager,” Sister He said to the person opposite her in a fawning manner. “Li Yue, she’s beside me right now. Let her answer the phone. Okay, okay.”
Sister He passed the phone to Li Yue. “CEO Xiang wants you to answer the phone personally.”
Li Yue took the phone and tried her best to soften her tone. “Hello, I’m Li Yue.”
CEO Xiang heard Li Yue’s voice on the other end of the phone, his voice immediately turned cold. “Li Yue, do you still think you’re the movie queen? You rejected our collaboration for no reason and didn’t even want to explain yourself. Instead, you want your own manager to explain? Li Yue, you really know how to act like a big shot.”
When Li Yue heard this, she was so angry that she laughed. “What are you saying? I didn’t explain myself because I had something to do, so I could only ask my manager. How did it become me acting like a big shot? I, Li Yue, have been in the entertainment industry for so many years. If I really acted like a big shot, would I still be able to get to where I am today?”
CEO Xiang was also furious. “Li Yue! Don’t go overboard with your words! Do you still think you’re the movie queen?!”
Li Yue was hit where it hurt, her voice couldn’t help but raise an octave. “What do you mean? Just because I’m not the movie queen now doesn’t mean that I won’t be one in the future! It’s just that Jiang Yu took advantage of me this time. How do you know that I’m not the movie queen this year?”
CEO Xiang was so angry at Li Yue that he couldn’t say a word. Although he was also angry, he felt that Li Yue’s words made sense.
As a junior who had just entered the entertainment industry, Jiang Yu was able to win the movie queen award this time. Although her strength played a part, it was mostly due to her luck.
After all, with Li Yue at the front, how could Jiang Yu possibly win the movie queen award so smoothly?
Although CEO Xiang agreed with Li Yue’s words, it didn’t mean that he could forgive Li Yue for rejecting the collaboration with him.
“Li Yue, regardless of whether you can win the movie queen award back this year or not, even if you have absolute confidence in yourself, this isn’t an excuse for you to casually cancel the collaboration with me!”
“How annoying.” Li Yue cursed in a low voice and threw the phone to Sister He. “I’ve already said what I should have said. The rest is not under my control.”
“Li Yue!” Sister He shouted.
But Li Yue had already left without looking back.
Sister He had no choice but to pick up the phone and obediently endure CEO Xiang’s anger.
