After My Divorce I Picked Up the Richest Boss in the World

Chapter 57: Dissuading

Yu Wan’s hand gripped the bedsheet as she sank into a whirlpool of conflict. She seemed to be a little shaken as she asked,”… How much money can you give me?”

“Double the amount you signed the contract! How about that? I only think of you as a friend and that’s why I’m offering this!”

Yin Yue could not wait to transfer the money on the spot and urge her.

Yu Wan bit her lips and was about to nod when she saw Jiang Zhi push open the ward door. She said coldly, “Who’s your friend? Put away that bit of cheap and despicable money. Yu Wan doesn’t need it!”

Yin Yue was furious that Jiang Zhi had ruined her plan.

“What right do you have to stand up for her?”

Yu Wan avoided her gaze like a child who had done something wrong. “Sister Jiang, I…”

Jiang Zhi patted her hand gently. “Don’t worry.”

When Yin Yue saw the interaction between them, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red. “Hmph! Yu Wan, you should have seen the entertainment news, right?”

“I used to be an artiste from Star Glory. Speaking of which, Jiang Zhi used to be the boss! But what happened to me?

“I haven’t acted in any blockbuster movies or TV series in years! My income is almost zero, and I barely make a living by filming some commercials. When I wanted to terminate my contract, Jiang Zhi bit me hard and demanded that I compensate her with five million yuan! My youth has been wasted these past few years, and I even lost money!

“You treat her as your manager, and she treats you as a cash cow!

“She will only delay your future!”

Yin Yue poured out all her complaints, and all the blame was placed on Jiang Zhi!

Jiang Zhi poured Yu Wan a cup of warm water, raised her eyes, and said in a cold voice, “You can’t film because your acting skills aren’t good. Your eyes are dull, and your movements are stiff. You can’t even memorize the most basic of lines. The director sent you back! Do you blame that on the company?

“Before you blame someone, think about what you did wrong! Don’t act like the whole world owes you…”

“You!” Yin Yue was angry, but she could not come up with any reply.

Yu Wan believed in Jiang Zhi’s character, but after all, she was short of money. The balance in her heart wavered and she timidly opened her mouth, “Sister Jiang, I really need a lot of money. You know the cost of my mother’s hospitalization and surgery! Now there are additional expenses. I don’t have any savings at all.

“The hospital said that Mom’s subsequent recuperation expenses would also be a lot…”

Yu Wan’s tears fell on her rough hands. In order to make up for her family’s expenses, she had done many menial jobs and odd jobs. It was not easy for her to find a dream that she was willing to give everything for, but she could not resist the pressure of reality.

Seeing that she was in a difficult position, Jiang Zhi did not want to force her to make any decisions. She only moved a stool to sit beside her, peeled an orange, and handed it to her.

“Do you want to continue acting?

“Acting is a career that you love. If you want to persevere, I can pay for her hospitalization and surgery fees for you first…

“But it’s not for free. It’s a loan. You need to write me an IOU.”

Jiang Zhi looked up at Yin Yue’s impatient expression and pointed out her intentions straightforwardly. “You took her money. Although it was for nothing, it can be considered that Yin Yue buying out your acting career, missing out on ‘Beacon’, missing out on Director Zheng, leaving for some reason…

“You may never get the chance to act again in this lifetime!

“You know what kind of comments the artistes in the industry can make when they step on each other for roles, especially for rookies like you who don’t have a foundation.”

Jiang Zhi analyzed the situation in front of her for Yu Wan.

Just then, her phone rang. The paparazzi shots of Cheng Yi at the grasslands to visit her had been circulating. Star Glory had quickly risen to the top search rankings, and it was a hot topic among the netizens.

Jiang Zhi placed the lit-up screen in front of Yu Wan and said softly, “As you can see, the situation at the company is improving. Stay here. I promise you that within three years, I will promote you to the position of an A-list female celebrity in the country. You will receive countless awards, fame, and wealth.”

Yu Wan longed to be able to make a name for herself with her own ability!

She was a woman with tenacity and ambition. Unfortunately, her living environments restricted Yu Wan’s actions and development.

Jiang Zhi’s appearance was no different from a savior pulling her out of the abyss. It gave her a ray of light and guided her to find the right direction!

Yu Wan made a decision. She bit on the extremely sweet orange, and two tears fell from her watery eyes.

“Sister Jiang, I will continue to act with you! I will listen to everything you say!”

Yin Yue was so angry that she went crazy. She tried to stand up, but a gut-wrenching pain came from her broken leg that was in a cast, forcing her to fall into the wheelchair, “Do you believe her? She will only give you a blank check! She has never cared about her artistes and you want to be the best actress under her hand?

“You must be dreaming! You will definitely regret your stupid choice today!”

Yin Yue left angrily.

Jiang Zhi smiled at Yu Wan and asked, “Don’t worry about her. What do you want to eat tonight? Lu Mian and I will go buy…”

Lu Mian came in from outside the door and leaned against the door frame. He raised his eyebrows at Yu Wan as a greeting.
