Chapter 181 – “Have him add one more zero to the amount.” (3)
“I am going to have to turn it down. I’m just an 18th tier actor. I’m not good enough for a production of this size,” said Jiang DeXian coldly.
The agent was shocked beyond words. “Wait a minute…”
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Jiang DeXian’s mind was made up. He had no intention of changing his mind. His contract with ______ was up and the company couldn’t even force him to take the job even if they wanted to.
There was nothing they could do except to watch him leave.
***
Fang JunRong, naturally, had caught wind of this as well. As she had Jiang DeXian followed her around, many had mistaken their relationships and, as such, many related his latest development back to her.
Forever Night? She was pretty sure she had not heard of this movie in her previous life.
Theoretically speaking, with such a big investment, even if she didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment circle, she should have heard of it before. Meaning that, this production did not exist in her previous life? Could this be part of the butterfly effect of her rebirth?
When Jiang DeXian came in to work, she teased him, “Forever Night huh? A work by a famed director and very highly sought after. You sure you won’t regret for turning it down?”
From many people’s perspective, never mind about being the male lead, even a supporting role would be considered as very lucky to have. Yet the once 18th-tier little actor Jiang DeXian had turned it down without any hesitation. That was surely jaw dropping to most.
As her assistance, even with the extra income as her date, he would be making at most hundreds of thousand yuan a month. That well below what a popular star would make.
Jiang DeXian sounded very decisive. “Zhang ZhiYang was the one behind Director Ji. The two of them are very close. He had even taken one of Director Ji’s daughter born out of the wedlock as his adopted daughter.”
Zhang ZhiYang?
Fang JunRong frowned a little. Was that part of Zhang ZhiYang’s plan to get to her? She had no idea about the relationship between Zhang ZhiYang and Director Ji.
She glanced over at Jiang DeXian and was surprised that he even knew that. She would think that was quite a secret even in his circle.
In her previous life, Zhang ZhiYang met Jiang YaGe at a banquet and the two of them hit it off immediately and he finally taken Jiang YaGe as his adopted daughter. It looked like he had not been in contact with Jiang YaGe yet in this life time and had turned to kiss up to Fang JunRong.
Fang JunRong, on the other hand, did not afford him that opportunity. In her previous life, Zhang ZhiYang was already married by now. The woman was high in status as well, a Second Generation Star of sort. In this lifetime, though, Zhang ZhiYang was still single. Could that also have something to do with her?
His fondness of taking on adopted daughter stayed though.
Looking at Jiang DeXian, she said, “If that plan had foiled, I’m sure he’ll try something else. Just watch out for it.”
She was very confident in Jiang DeXian’s ability to react to any unforeseeable circumstances.
To Fang JunRong’s surprise, Zhang ZhiYang’s next move could be so crude and simple – just throw money at him.
She received a text from Jiang DeXian one night.
[Zhang ZhiYang offered me 5 million yuan to leave you.]
Fang JunRong was testing the effect of her Hair Growing Cream at the time. She just came out of a shower and had applied the Hair Growing Cream on her hair and scalp before she wrapped them up with a warm towel.
Her lips twitched when she saw the content of the text.
Do not tell her that Zhang ZhiYang did all those because he wanted to pursue her. She was pretty but hardly so pretty that Zhang ZhiYang would have fallen in love with her on first sight among all of the other pretty women surrounding him.
Instead of her beauty, it was more like what she possessed that he was after.
She replied back to him quickly. “Have him add one more 0.”
Did he really think he could get rid of someone for mere 50 million yuan?
