Chapter 433: Chapter 434 Revenge (1)
Soon, it was ten o’clock at night, the time for doctors and nurses to do rounds. However, Xue Feifei still remained in her place, unmoved. Even when the nurse came for the ward checking, she even asked, “Can I stay the night? I want to accompany my friend.”
As soon as Xue Feifei finished her request, she received a call from her agent. The agent had been ignoring her for a while, treating her as if she didn’t exist. To her surprise, she was getting a call at this hour— what could they possibly want? Were they asking her to move out of the company’s dormitory ahead of schedule?
However, upon answering the call, she was dumbfounded. Her agent, excitedly, told her, “Feifei, come over quickly. There’s an assistant director here who greatly appreciates your acting and hopes you can appear in a TV show.”
Xue Feifei frowned slightly. Had this news arrived yesterday, she would have been over the moon. But now, she had some doubts.
Firstly, she was on the verge of separating from the agency, would they really be so kind as to refer her to such potential opportunities?
Furthermore, how much influence an assistant director holds in casting decisions was questionable. If even the director couldn’t guarantee her a role, let alone an assistant one!
What was even more suspicious was, why would they want to discuss collaboration at such a late hour? It all sounded so unreliable.
“Manager Zhang, can you tell me where and with whom this meeting will take place, what is the name of the assistant director, and which TV show they’re considering me for?”
Manager Zhang on the other end quickly provided all the details. She even proclaimed, “This drama is a big IP and is set to be broadcast on a major network! Although it’s just the third female lead role, the character is quite well developed. I think it could be a hit.”
Having several artists under her management, why would Manager Zhang favor someone like her who was about to leave the agency? Xue Feifei still had doubts. Not wanting to voice her suspicions directly, she merely pointed out, “But I am in another city at the moment. I’m afraid I can’t make it back tonight.”
“No way.” Manager Zhang became impatient, “The assistant director has made it clear he wants to see you tonight. Even if you have to drive all the way back, you must! Don’t be scared! There are only us and the assistant director and a site coordinator on their side. If anything feels wrong, don’t sign the contract. But now, you must come over here. Otherwise, move out of the company’s dormitory tomorrow!”
Having heard the threat, Lu Weixi hastily urged her, “Focus on your work. I’m fine, you should go.”
Xue Feifei had no choice but to agree. Ending the call, she showed a worried look, “But you alone…”
Lu Weixi shook her head indifferently, “Don’t worry, I’m grown. For my mother’s sake, I will take even better care of myself.”
Xue Feifei nodded, “Then, if there’s anything, call me right away.”
Lu Weixi responded with a hum. She added with a smile, “The same goes for you, tell me as soon as you get the role.”
“Ok.” After Xue Feifei left, Qin Zhiyou finally had the opportunity to maneuver several chairs and sit next to Lu Weixi.
Lu Weixi felt it and tried to move away, but Qin Zhiyou swiftly held her hand.
She wanted to struggle, but being up all day and night without sleep or food, she didn’t have an ounce of strength left. When Qin Zhiyou moved his arm to pull her towards him, Lu Weixi became even more exasperated. Turning back, she furiously shouted, “Qin Zhiyou, let me go!”
Qin Zhiyou raised a finger to his lips and made a “shh,” gesture. “Keep your voice down, you’ll disturb others. And don’t wake up our mom.”
As soon as Lu Weixi heard him, she stopped in her tracks. Qin Zhiyou took advantage of this moment and drew her into his arms.
