After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Director Zhang and Xiao Yi were staying in the same hotel. He walked out of his room and knocked on Xiao Yi's door, but the person who came out was Xiao Yi's assistant Yang Chunlian.

Director Zhang looked at the sleepy Yang Chunlian and asked, "Chunlian, is Xiao Yi still not awake?"

Yang Chunlian rubbed his eyes to make himself look more awake, but facing Director Zhang's question, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Director Zhang, Brother Xiao is not here."

Director Zhang asked in confusion: "He's not here, where did he go?"

Yang Chunlian said quickly: "Director Zhang, Brother Xiao is in this hotel, but you have to wait a moment. I will call Brother Xiao."

Director Zhang looked at Yang Chunlian who was in an embarrassment, and wondered if Xiao Yi had picked up the bad habits of some people in this circle and went out to find girls or gamble. Otherwise, it didn't make sense why Xiao Yi was not in his room?

Yang Chunlian returned to the guest bedroom, found his cell phone, and called Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi felt the vibration of his phone, turned around and looked at Li Jiawei sleeping soundly, then quietly got up, walked to the living room, and said, "Chunlian, what's up?"

Yang Chunlian looked outside and whispered, "Brother Xiao, Director Zhang is here to see you."

Xiao Yi knew why Director Zhang came to see him, it was nothing more than yesterday's matter, so he said: "Okay, I know, you can bring Director Zhang over."

Yang Chunlian asked quietly, "Is it okay for Miss Li to be here?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Jiawei is my girlfriend, what can be the problem? Don't think too much, just bring Director Zhang here."

Yang Chunlian said: "Okay, then I will take Director Zhang there now."

Xiao Yi hung up the phone, changed into casual clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then he heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Yi opened the door and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, please come in!"

Director Zhang looked at a lady's backpack on the sofa in the living room, then looked at Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, you can't learn the bad habits in the circle and ruin others!"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you're worrying too much. This is the room my girlfriend booked."

Director Zhang looked at Xiao Yi and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say yesterday that she wasn't in Shanghai?"

Xiao Yi said: "She arrived last night and gave me a surprise."

After hearing Xiao Yi's answer, Director Zhang finally let go of his worries and asked curiously, "I really want to see what kind of girl can capture your heart?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "She and I will treat you to lunch today, so you can meet her."

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, are you sure? You won't change it?"

Xiao Yi's eyes showed deep happiness and affection, and he said, "No change, she is the one for me in this life."

Director Zhang knew Xiao Yi's situation, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good to settle down. You've been hanging out in the crew these years without a place to stay. It's good to have a little home of your own now. You'll have a place to go back to when you're done with your work."

Xiao Yi poured Director Zhang a glass of warm water and placed it in front of him: "You didn't get much rest yesterday, did you?"

Director Zhang sighed, picked up the water cup and drank half of it before saying, "Oh, it's really difficult!"

Xiao Yi said apologetically: "It's all my fault."

Director Zhang waved his hands and said, "It's not your problem. Marriage and love are originally free, how can you force a couple to marry? It's just that Producer Wang is using his power to pressure us. He knows that we can't do anything to him, but he can strangle us."

Xiao Yi looked at the worried look on Director Zhang's face and asked, "What should we do now? Do you have any ideas?"

Director Zhang said, "When he left yesterday, he asked me to choose between two options. He said if I could apologize publicly, he would forgive me. If I didn't apologize, he would ask Universal Pictures to withdraw its investment. Although we can find other capital to fill the gap with the money withdrawn by Universal Pictures, I am afraid that he will cause trouble for me in future publicity and scheduling. By then, we will really have no way out."

Xiao Yi turned the water cup in his hand. He already knew what Director Zhang was thinking, but he looked up at Director Zhang and asked, "What do you mean?"

Director Zhang looked at Xiao Yi, and said in a somewhat tangled but earnest manner: "Xiao Yi, in this circle, you don't have a background, and it's not easy to get to this point. Sometimes, taking a step back can save you a lot of trouble."

Then, Director Zhang looked at Xiao Yi's face and continued, "Moreover, it is undeniable that Universal Pictures is an existence that cannot be ignored in the circle. In recent years, they have been involved in many large investments in the circle. Now many celebrities in the circle have some relationship with them. It is easy for them to create a star, but it is even easier to destroy a star. Listen to my advice, bow your head when you should. If you don't participate in this project, there are plenty of stars waiting to take over this project."

Xiao Yi looked at Director Zhang and said, "You want me to publicly apologize to Producer Wang?"

Director Zhang didn't look Xiao Yi in the eye and said, "Apologizing is one thing. Why don't you go meet her niece and accompany that little girl, just like meeting a fan."

Xiao Yi sneered and said, "Director Zhang, I'm afraid I can't do what you ask. My girlfriend is still here!"

Director Zhang said, "Xiao Yi, I admire you very much. You have both fame and acting skills, so why can't you adapt? Do you really have to ruin your own career?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Director Zhang, it was not my intention to get to this point. I just want to act well and do my job well, but I cannot accept anything beyond work."

Director Zhang was already furious when he saw Xiao Yi's words were so irresistible. He stood up and said, "Xiao Yi, if you say that, I can only ask someone else to reshoot your scenes. Besides, after what happened this time, do you think anyone will want to work with you in the future? Capital is cold. By then, Universal Pictures won't have to ban you. The industry will have already banned you. Why are you so stubborn?"

Xiao Yi looked at Director Zhang's flushed face, which was obviously due to anger. He stood up and said, "Director Zhang, thank you for your concern. If we can't cooperate this time, let's wait for next time."

Director Zhang sneered: "Do you think there is another way..."

While Director Zhang was talking, Li Jiawei came out of the bedroom in her pajamas, rubbing her eyes, and yelled, "Xiao Yi, I'm so hungry..."

But before she could finish her words, she saw two people in the living room. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Hello, Director Zhang," and immediately ran back into the bedroom.

Xiao Yi looked at Li Jiawei's fleeing figure, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Director Zhang: "Please sit down first, I'll go take a look."

Director Zhang waved his hand and said, "Go!"

It’s not that Director Zhang doesn’t want to leave now, but he still wants to persuade Xiao Yi. Now that he sees Xiao Yi’s girlfriend, maybe he can persuade her to help Xiao Yi with his thoughts.

He wasn't worried that she would say no because no woman wants her boyfriend to lose his job.
