Mr. Ji, stop spoiling me, your wife is on the hot search again

If Xia Qingqian had to resort to unspoken rules just to make money, she would never compromise. This was also the reason why she had ended up like this after so many years of debut. Sister Manni once said to her in a disappointed tone, "Your good looks and acting skills are really wasted. If you had a little more ambition, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Anyway, call her aloof or pretentious, she just doesn't want to have dinner with those so-called sponsors who have yellow teeth, bald spots, beer bellies, and are the same age as her father, and say hypocritical words just for a role. She would rather not have that role.

Her agent, Yang Manni, is called Sister Manni by everyone. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She is actually a very nice person and will not force her artists. At the beginning, she was asked to do it a few times, but she was not willing to go every time. Later, no one mentioned such things to her. In the end, she naturally had fewer and fewer resources.

Moreover, the less movies you have to shoot and the less popular you are, the more marginalized you will be in the company.

However, it is no wonder that everyone wants to squeeze into this circle. Even for a little-known person like her, although she has been an 18th-tier minion in these years of filming, she has saved some money because she spends little.

Her goal is to save enough money to buy a house in the city when she returns to her hometown and live with her parents. Every time she sees the balance in her bank card, she looks like a money-grubber, very happy, and feels that she is getting closer and closer to her goal.

When Xia Qingqian was half asleep, she was awakened by the urgent ringing of her cell phone. She closed her eyes and reached out her hand to feel around, finally finding the phone under the pillow. She answered the call in a daze, "Hello~ Who is this?" Her voice was a little hoarse because she was still sleepy.

Xia Qingqian was lying on the small bed in her apartment. After the call was connected, she heard her agent Yang Manni's crisp and clear questioning voice coming from the phone. Xia Qingqian was immediately startled and completely awake. She opened her eyes instantly, turned over and climbed up to sit.

"Where are you now? Apartment? Still sleeping?"

Yang Manni is a typical strong woman, the kind who has worked her way up from the bottom step by step. She works like a desperate man and is very decisive and efficient in doing things.

Xia Qingqian usually listened to her agent except for socializing and eating. Hearing Yang Manni's anxious voice, she immediately replied, "Sister Manni, what's wrong? I'm in the apartment."

"When did you get home last night?" Yang Manni asked seriously. She had something to do yesterday so she went home not long after the dinner started.

Xia Qingqian's heart skipped a beat. Did Sister Manni know what happened last night? She replied with a guilty conscience, "She came back just when it was almost over..."

"Nothing happened at the banquet yesterday, right?" Yang Manni asked.

"No...no, nothing happened." Xia Qingqian felt even more guilty, but what happened last night must not be known to anyone, no one.

She clearly felt the person on the other end of the phone heaved a sigh of relief, so she asked cautiously, "Sister Manny, is...something wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. It's just that President Ji's assistant came to see me and said that President Ji asked you to go to his office. I don't know what the situation is. You should come to the company as soon as possible." Yang Manni said quickly on the other end of the phone. It seemed that someone was looking for her. Xia Qingqian heard that she was already talking to someone else on the phone.

"Come to the company as soon as possible, we'll talk when you get here." Yang Manni gave this instruction and hung up the phone.

Xia Qingqian sat on the bed in a daze, her brain seemed to have frozen and stopped thinking. Only four words remained, "Mr. Ji is looking for her..."

Did he know it was her? She was dead, she was definitely dead...

Xia Qingqian got up from the bed with the mood of going to the grave, and washed and changed clothes slowly, as if this could delay the time of going to the execution ground. It was already two hours later when she arrived at the company, and there was less than half an hour left before she would get off work. She thought, I don't need to go to see Mr. Ji today, and the longer I can delay, the better.

She didn't have her own lounge at the company, so she went directly to her agent's office to find Yang Manni. From the glass door, she could see the scene in the office. Yang Manni was on the phone. Xia Qingqian raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, then pushed it open and walked in.

The moment she pushed the door open, Yang Manni looked up and saw Xia Qingqian wearing a white sportswear, with slightly curly chestnut hair casually scattered behind her, and a sweet smile on her face. She was stunned for a moment, this girl is really beautiful, after so many years in the circle, she still looks like a harmless little white rabbit.

Yang Manni raised her chin at her and continued to talk on the phone. Xia Qingqian walked towards the single sofa in the office, sat down and leaned back casually on the sofa, very casual.

After a while, Yang Manni hung up the phone and walked towards her, scolding her as she walked, "Look at the time yourself, does it take two hours to get a taxi here?"

Xia Qingqian stuck out her tongue at her mischievously and said, "Hey, Sister Manny, girls are slower when they go out. You know that. What's more, I'm a female artist, so it takes me even longer to go out." Xia Qingqian smiled ingratiatingly. She would never admit that she came slowly on purpose.

Yang Manni cast a look of undisguised disdain on Xia Qingqian's face, who was wearing sportswear and without makeup. It was obvious that she didn't believe what she said. This girl just relied on her youth and good skin and didn't even bother to put on makeup before going out. She had already told her that it was President Ji who was looking for her.

"Don't joke with me. Tell me, how are you related to President Ji?" She didn't believe that their President Ji would want to see Xia Qingqian for no reason.

Xia Qingqian rubbed her nose. She couldn't tell Sister Manni that she had slept with President Ji. This... really couldn't be said...

Yang Manni looked at Xia Qingqian's hesitation and suddenly became anxious. "Hurry up and tell me. I'll think of a solution for you."

Xia Qingqian made up her mind, "I accidentally spilled red wine on Mr. Ji last night, and he...he said...said..."

"My dear aunt, what did Mr. Ji say? Can you please tell me all of it in one breath?" Yang Manni couldn't stand this impatience any more.

"He asked me to pay him one million yuan in compensation. He might as well just rob someone. He asked for one million yuan for a suit with some red wine. One million yuan can buy him enough to dry-clean his suits for a lifetime. I have never seen a boss haggling with an employee like this..."
