Yan Zi thought she had lost the opportunity to participate in the filming of "Once Upon a Time in Haicheng" and was almost about to sign a small-budget web drama, but in the middle of the night she received a call from the casting director asking her to go for another interview the next morning.
She has encountered this situation before, usually when a selected actress quits temporarily, and she has another chance as a substitute.Who knew that after going there, the assistant director directly gave her a line from the female number three and asked her to prepare for half an hour.
This role does not have many roles but has outstanding characteristics, and it is easy to be remembered. It is actually this role that Yan Zi caught in the first glance.However, this kind of role is generally reserved for popular stars who "have resources" but don't have much schedule. She honestly went to interview the second female role.
Yan Zi practiced repeatedly in the corridor with her lines, and suddenly found that the surroundings were very deserted, and she seemed to be the only one here today.
Could it be that the back door was specially opened for her?Yan Zi was quickly amused by her brain hole, where did she have such a big face, let's hurry up and get ready.
Xu Zhiyao indeed negotiated a good price for Yan Zi's "bringing capital into the group". The first and second girls have already been booked, and each has capital to back it up.Only the third female is actually still competing with each other. Jiang Yan doesn't know how to evaluate the value of the role, but she believes in Xu Zhiyao's professional vision.
"This role doesn't have many roles, but the character design is strong, and it can overwhelm the second female lead in minutes. The price of 1000 million is actually not bad."
Jiang Yan only thought about it for 2 minutes on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I have no problem with the price. But can you guarantee that Sister Zi will get it?"
"The investor has no objections, just ask her to come for another interview at that time. In fact, I saw her interview with the female second last time, and the basic level is still there."
Before Yan Zi got married and retired from the industry, she was Xiaohua who was on the rise. She had potential but her acting skills were immature.After so many years of interruption, I have neglected to study and practice, and only the basic skills are left.
However, 1000 million is enough to protect the capital for the failure of this role. If the filming effect is not good, just cut a little more. The crew is very skilled in this kind of thing.
Now that Xu Zhiyao had considered everything, Jiang Yan naturally let her deal with it at ease.There are only two conditions, one is to ensure that Yan Zi can enter the group smoothly, and the other is not to tell others, especially Yan Zi.
So, everyone knew that Yan Zi had found a backer, but no one knew who the backer was.
When Xia Chenxu saw her coming out of the set, he wanted to ridicule her.After all, she has not yet divorced on the one hand, and she is covered by the "new benefactor" on the other, so the connection is really seamless.
But when Yan Zi sat in front of him, his first reaction was shock.Yan Zi suddenly became beautiful again, it can be said that her face was radiant, and she was more mature and strong than when they were in love a few years ago.
Putting aside their current disputes, Xia Chenxu admitted that he would still be moved by Yan Zi's charm at this moment.But he didn't admit that this was a proof of his new life, but he was even more disdainful: "With a new goal, I really know how to dress myself up."
"If you still can't get rid of your habit of speaking out, I don't mind asking lawyer He to send you a lawyer's letter."
Xia Chenxu didn't expect that she was getting tougher, and he didn't want to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point: "Make an appointment to formally go through the formalities. All the terms in the divorce agreement are void, I will give you 500 million, and divorce as soon as possible."
Yan Zi didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, but it's a good thing he was willing to give in.It's just that 500 million is far from the 8000 million that He Youran insisted on.
"I need to discuss it with my lawyer." Yan Zi left without giving Xia Chenxu another chance.
Now the initiative to divorce is in her hands.But based on her understanding of Xia Chenxu, if this person is willing to take the initiative to suffer, there must be greater benefits to be gained.She carefully recalled all the memories of these years, and suddenly remembered that time when Xia Chenxu leaked the truth.
The more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel, even a little scary.Yan Zi hesitated for a while, but decided to call Xia Yining.
"Ningning, I'm not sure if it's true, but I think it's better for you to be vigilant."
Yan Zi made such a call to her nervously, Xia Yining also took it very seriously: "Say it."
"Your second brother came to see me today, voluntarily gave up all the previous terms, and was willing to give me 500 million to go through the divorce procedures as soon as possible. I think he must be in a hurry to grab more important things..." Yan Ziyu The speed slowed down, as if she was recalling and deliberating. Once she said this, it would definitely affect the relationship between the two brothers and sisters.
"What is it?"
Yan Zi thought of the support and encouragement Xia Yining's mother and daughter gave these days. Without them, she might not have the courage to persevere.
"He once said that he wanted to compete with his elder brother for the inheritance."
Xia Yining frowned: "Uncle said before that most of the shares will be handed over to eldest brother, and he may not succeed in grabbing them."
"So he might want to take it from you."
Yan Zi finally said it, and her mind went blank for a moment.But after she finished speaking, she felt relieved instead.
Xia Yining was silent for a while, then calmly confirmed: "Is it true?"
"He didn't say that explicitly, but once we had a quarrel, he slipped his mouth when he was excited. We were talking about you and Jiang Yan at the time, so I think it should be as I understood it."
"Me and Jiang Yan?"
Ever since they hooked their hands outside the small theater that day, Xia Yining and Jiang Yan had a tacit understanding.The smiles in their eyes are deeper than before when they eat together or when they come home from get off work. Some words have not been said yet, but Xia Yining feels that they understand each other.
Just like now, she would instinctively be more sensitive to such topics.
Speaking of that, Yan Zi said guiltily: "In the beginning, everyone looked down on you, especially Xiao Jiang. I also thought that Xiao Jiang would be less popular than me when she came here." The more she talked, the more she felt uncomfortable. I'm sorry, but I still reluctantly said, "After getting in touch with her, I found out that she is actually a very nice person, but Chen Xu didn't think so. He still had the old view that Jiang Yan was incompetent, and he had ulterior motives for you and coveted Xia's property."
After Yan Zi finished recounting the situation that day, Xia Yining was very angry: "Why does he care so much!"
"Anyway, Ning Ning, you should be more cautious. I always feel that his appearance last time is not quite right, and there is a kind of ruthlessness."
Xia Yining replied: "I see, sister Zi, you concentrate on filming, and I will take care of the family and company affairs."
After all, Yan Zi has been his pillow for many years, so she must know Xia Chenxu better than others.Since she reminded her specially, Xia Yining naturally wouldn't be careless.
**
Taking advantage of the opportunity of delivering the medicine, Xia Chenxu installed wiretapping and listening devices in Xia Langxing's room. Through his several conversations with Xia Langyan and Yin Ran, and adding the key word Yongnian, he slowly found clues.
When he used this hint to test Xia Langxing, he got only one sentence: You bastard!
Xia Chenxu restrained his disappointment and anger, and looked coldly at his coughing father: "I just want you to look at me more and give me a chance to prove myself and compete fairly with Big Brother. Why don't you ever consider it? Is it because I am small, am I doomed to get nothing?"
"It's because you are too greedy, you want too much! You have your share in the family property, and you still want to miss your elder brother. How dare you blame me for being partial?"
The hope in Xia Chenxu's heart was extinguished, and his face was full of gloom: "So you took it for granted that you made false accounts and blamed your brother for bribing officials. Is this the same logic?"
Xia Langxing raised his hand and wanted to hit him, but he couldn't do it: "If you dare to say something nonsense, I will tell you to get out of Xia's house immediately!"
Xia Chenxu laughed even more unrestrainedly: "The Xia family, which seems to have a lot of glory, turned out to rely on this method to develop and grow in the past. If this news gets out, will the Xia family stand still or will it crumble?"
Xia Langxing's face was flushed, and he stared at him utterly speechless. In fact, he knew the answer very well, since Xia Langyan came to negotiate with him.
"My request is very simple, I want what I deserve. Of course, if you are willing to hand over the company to me, I will definitely protect it."
Xia Chenxu said the word "protection" very loudly.It fell into Xia Langxing's ears, but it was very ironic.
**
Xia Yining had already started to be wary of Xia Chenxu, and paid more attention to his actions in the company.It was precisely because of the increased attention that she discovered that Xia Chenxu did not give up after the Ministry of Commerce's plan to invest in catering was rejected last time.
She told Jiang Yan about this, and the two gathered at the desk in Xia Yining's room to discuss.
"Can you be sure that the latest plans of the Ministry of Commerce are shells?"
Xia Yining shook his head: "I'm not absolutely sure, but it doesn't look right."
"If you want to call out the contract, you need to verify all the above suppliers."
In the office, Jiang Yan looks like she is taking care of the elderly in advance, but she is familiar with many processes.When Xia Yining found something was wrong, Jiang Yan was the first person who thought of discussing it.
"But I went to apply for access, there is no suitable reason."
Jiang Yan thought of a way: "How about I try?"
Xia Yining looked at her suspiciously: "You?"
Jiang Yanke has nothing to do with the Ministry of Commerce.
"In the cooperation projects just now, I have a little impression of the names of two partners. The office purchased a large number of high-consumption office supplies the year before last, and they seem to be suppliers."
The year before last... At that time, Jiang Yan hadn't joined the company at all, and the purchasing matter must have been in charge of the former director.
"Do you remember this?"
Jiang Yan smiled: "It's okay to be idle, I dug out all the previous contracts and took a look."
No matter how boring it is, it's okay to read the contract, but I still remember the name of the supplier.Xia Yining had to change his view of Jiang Yan again. Not only did he have a good personality, but he might not be so "unpursuant" at work.
"I'll find out the contract tomorrow. If I'm sure it's from these two companies, I'll find a reason for the internal review."
It's easy to find a reason, and Xia Yining felt that it was feasible when he heard it.He was at a loss just now, but now he suddenly realized.
Jiang Yan reached out and stroked her eyebrows twice, making a spell-casting motion.
This made Xia Yining startled for a moment, then a little embarrassed, pretending to be calm and asking, "What are you doing?"
"Let you raise your eyebrows."
Xia Yining reacted, her heart was slightly sweet, but her face refused to show it, she still pretended not to understand: "I'm afraid your spells were learned casually by the side of the road, and they probably won't be effective."
"I don't think so. You're smiling pretty nicely now."
She has encountered this situation before, usually when a selected actress quits temporarily, and she has another chance as a substitute.Who knew that after going there, the assistant director directly gave her a line from the female number three and asked her to prepare for half an hour.
