Chapter 39: 39: Every Step a Trap_l

Perhaps he hadn’t expected me to penetrate Mina’s defenses so quickly.

I was directly led by the nanny to the second-floor hall.

Niina, dressed in a silk robe and clutching a noble Persian cat, looked at me with extreme impatience.

“You said earlier that Director Zhou agreed to give me the lead female role in ‘Palace 2’? ‘

“Exactly! But the condition is, Miss Mina, you have to sign a three-year contract with our Zhenyi Company.”

Only then did Mina invite me to sit down, her eyes on me, always filled with great confusion.

“What’s your relationship with Director Zhou?”

“That’s none of your business!”

“Then why should I believe you?”

“You can now call Director Zhou to verify my identity.”

Naturally, Mina wouldn’t easily trust me. As expected, she immediately called Director Zhou for confirmation.

In fact, I had done quite a bit of groundwork to achieve this goal.

Though Mina has endorsed many international products in the past few years, she has not achieved anything significant on the screen. Her most successful film was still five years ago.

This was mainly due to fierce competition in the film industry, and the fact that female stars have a very short shelf-life – new talents are always cropping up.

She fears that as time goes by, her popularity will fade and she’ll be phased out. Therefore, she is very eager for an opportunity to be a part of a popular film to return to her peak.

‘Palace’, heavily promoted by famous directors, was a hit costume drama from last year, which is currently preparating for a sequel, ‘Palace 2′, and is in the process of selecting the female lead.

Although Mina is very interested in being part of this drama, unfortunately, due to her age, she didn’t even get the chance to audition.

The olive branch I extended has become her lifeline.

Indeed, after receiving affirmation from one of the staff of Director Zhou, she was overjoyed.

She immediately ordered the maid to bring me the best tea.

The original indifference had become extremely cordial, and she sat down next to me, asking softly,

“Miss Song, what’s your relationship with Director Zhou?”

As for my real relationship with Director Zhou, of course, I wouldn’t tell her.

My response was vague.

“Just the relationship between a man and a woman, some things can’t be put out there!”

Mina smiled mysteriously,

“l see! We’re all adults here! When can I audition?”

I took out the contract in my hand, “Just sign here, and I will arrange for your audition right away!’

“What if I don’t pass the audition?”

“Miss Mina, being Zhenyi Companys spokesperson isn’t for free! Whatever Heaven’s Pride offers you, we will match! Regardless, you’re making a profit.

The only difference is that by working with us, you get a chance to audition. Oh, and this isn’t just any audition. This could be your key to crowning glory. If you don’t want it, so be it.”

I would not linger or dawdle, I knew in these matters if I were to back down, she would take advantage.

Besides, the authority that I could get from Zhou was only so much.

Mina swiftly signed the document.

I swiftly excused myself and left.

As I approached the parking lot, Ding Yinuo caught up with me,

“How was it? It feels terrible to be rejected, doesn’t it?”

I didn’t even stop, just kept walking,

“Indeed, it’s truly heart-wrenching!’

“Hehe, 1 told you! You didn’t heed my advice and insisted on going ahead…”

Ding Yinuo appeared quite smug.

After taking a phone call, however, his face fell.

While 1, in the meantime, had already hailed a taxi. After hanging up, Ding Yinuo intercepted me,

“How did you do it?”

“Ding Yinuo! You can’t beat me at business strategy games!”

After saying tins, 1 got Into the taxi, closed the door, and waved goodbye to him.

Ding Yinuo stood frozen in place, staring at me blankly, looking as though he had seen something terrifying.

I didn’t bother dealing with him anymore. After arranging the documents, I reported back to the company.

The smoothness of the progress surprised even myself.

At noon, Jian Jing was going to choose a wedding dress. I went with Wenya to accompany her.

While Jian Jing was trying on wedding dresses, Wenya and I sat with milk tea in hand.

1 casually asked Wenya about her negotiations with Gu Yuanzhou.

Wenya took out a new phone…

“That crafty fox, Gu Yuanzhou! He didn’t believe I deleted the video and even took my phone away.”

“You agreed to give it to him?”

“Humph! Of course, I wasn’t willing. Even though that old phone was really due for a replacement. It’s an indignity!’

“Then why did you still agree?”

“I had no choice! He said if I didn’t change phones, he wouldn’t drop the charge. I couldn’t beat him. Whatever, let’s let it be. At least I took a clean swipe at him. That’s something!’

Wenya heaved a long sigh, but she seemed pretty satisfied with her new phone.

A few more things were then discussed, including how Gu Yuanzhou requested I sign Mina.

“Didn’t you just meet Director Zhou once at the fashion week? I know the suit he was wearing was designed by you, but your bond seems deeper?” “You understand me very well! In fact, I made a deal with him!”

“What deal? You didn’t sell yourself or anything, right?”

“Nonsense, what are you thinking?”

I did indeed make a secret deal with Director Zhou, one that needed to be completed within three days…

I wanted to chat more with Wenya, but Jian Jing, who was trying on her wedding dress, suddenly crumbled into tears after receiving a phone call.

I quickly left my tea and ran over,

“What’s wrong, Jing? Who’s bullying you?”

“Yeah, who dares to bully Jing? I’ve got a fist as big as a sandpot!’

Wenya brandished her fist.

Jian Jing managed a smile through her tears before bitterly saying,

“It was Yu JiaHangJiahangs mother… We agreed on the betrothal gift and dowry. Now, she suddenly wants the deed of our house in her name! Otherwise, she won’t give the promised dowry!’

“What? That house was bought with your family’s money, what right does she have to do that?”

“She says JiaHangJiahangs nephew needs to move into the city for school next year, and must have a house…”

“She’s obviously exploiting you at the last minute to force you to comply!’ Wenya was furious.

Jian Jing, her eyes red, told us she had been dating her boyfriend for many years but due to her age, she was worried about delaying childbirth.

However, if she transferred the house to her mother-in-law’s name, she was worried about losing the house in case of a divorce.

1 calmly provided Jian Jing with a solution.

Only then did Jian Jing calm down a bit.

In the afternoon, I returned to the company.

Originally, 1 wanted to tell Gu Yuanzhou about the successful signing of the contract.

To my surprise, before I could even enter, I saw Ye Mengyan enter the office ahead of me..
