Chapter 1985: Lu Xiaoxiao’s Contract Was Canceled
Soldiers and police officers worked hard to ensure that the people could lead normal lives.
“They like to show off,” Jiang Yao said. “That soldier said that Shao Fucheng has been coughing for several days. He didn’t even go to the infirmary when he came back last night. He even insisted on working, just like you.”
“We’re not the same.”
Lu Xingzhi scoffed disdainfully. “I have a wife to care for me. He’s an unmarried man. How can you compare me to him?”
“Why are you that proud about this?”
Lu Xingzhi’s behavior angered Jiang Yao. She laughed.
“Why not?”
Lu Xingzhi asked, “I have a wife who cares for me. Of course, I’m not the same as him. I had a fever, and you noticed it last night. After you took care of me the whole night, I felt much better in the morning. He didn’t have a wife. That’s why he almost died from the illness if the soldier didn’t take him to the infirmary.”
Well, that made sense.
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at him and did not want to continue the nonsense with him.
Just as she was about to get up, Jiang Yao’s phone rang.
It was Lu Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Yao remembered that Lu Xingzhi probably had not had time to deal with Lu Xiaoxiao’s matter because he had been busy with the army for the past few days.
“Jiang Yao, is my brother with you? Why can’t I get through to his phone?” Lu Xiaoxiao quickly asked, “It’s been raining here recently. He is not out on a mission, is he?”
“The rainwater damaged his phone. It’s broken and hasn’t been repaired yet.
We’re in the army base now.” Jiang Yao did not tell Lu Xiaoxiao about Lu
Xingzhi’s fever because if Lu Xiaoxiao knew, the elders would know as well. With Lu Xingzhi’s temper, he would not want a small matter to cause his family to worry about him.
“That’s good. Then I won’t worry about him.” Lu Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief. “I thought he went on a mission. I only heard about the impact of last year’s rainy season in Nanjiang City. I was afraid of that.”
“You’re still in Nanjiang City? You haven’t returned to Jindo City?” Jiang Yao was surprised. “I thought you would go back after staying in Nanjiang City for one day.”
After all, Lu Xiaoxiao was not so free anymore. She was tied up with work.
“I did want to go back to Jindo City, but there’s no rush now.” Lu Xiaoxiao sounded helpless. “The company kicked me out. They found a random reason to cancel my contract. Zhou Hailan used her connections to pressure someone into that decision. No company wants to sign me now. After all, she’s a big star, and I’m a rookie. I can’t win over her, can I?”
“Does Zhou Hailan think she can turn the world upside down?”
Jiang Yao was furious. “Your brother has been busy with the army these past few days. When he’s free, he’ll avenge you.”
“It’s nothing.”
Lu Xiaoxiao was not anxious at all. “Sister Yuqing’s company will find another famous female star to be the spokesperson. I’ll get another project as a supporting character. When the time comes, the company will sign me again. At least I’ll be able to gain some popularity along the way. Brother Jiang Lei said that he has recently inspected a few film studios. He’ll invest in one when he finds a satisfactory studio. He’ll let me join his projects when that happens, so I don’t have to audition for other people.”
Most of the crew would always be polite toward the actors due to the gap in their statuses. Lu Xiaoxiao was a talent that could be molded. In addition, she was amiable and hardworking. Jiang Lei felt that Lu Xiaoxiao would not have a hard time if she joined a project because of his connections..
