Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Chapter 1393 - 1393 The Loss Outweighs The Gain

1393 The Loss Outweighs The Gain

Although Dong Jie was vague, the meaning behind his words was very clear. Jian Yiyi was very smart and knew what Dong Jie meant.

He Jiayi started filming when she was five or six years old. She had been involved in the television and movie circles, but because of her limited image, she had been acting as the female supporting role. Over the years, she had been nominated for the Star Award for the Best Supporting Actress seven times, but she always returned in failure.

The company behind He Jiayi was Kaiyue Entertainment, one of the largest companies in the entertainment circle. If she didn’t win this time, it would definitely cause Kaiyue’s higher-ups to be dissatisfied. If Kaiyue banned the Star Award in a fit of anger, it would be impossible to invite Kaiyue’s big shots in the future.

Moreover, although He Jiayi was not yet thirty years old, she was already a senior in the entertainment circle. She had been filming for twenty years and had been nominated for the Star Award seven times. This time, even if it was a consolation award, it should be her turn.

!!

As a newcomer, Jian Yiyi could only admit that she was unlucky. If He Jiayi didn’t get nominated this year, this trophy would undoubtedly be Jian Yiyi’s.

This was the fate of the entertainment circle. The right time, place, and people were all necessary. This time, Jian Yiyi was unlucky.

“But I don’t know if I can still win the Star Award in the future since I missed this opportunity,” Jian Yiyi cried.

She understood the logic, but she was unwilling.

The Star Award was different from other awards. Some people worked hard their entire lives but could not be nominated once. Jian Yiyi was afraid that this would be the first and last time she would be nominated.

“Silly Yiyi, you’re so outstanding. Of course, you’ll have a chance to be nominated in the future.” Dong Jie raised his hand to stroke her head and said gently, “Your starting point is very high. You were nominated for the Star Award for your debut work. There are a lot of good scripts for you to choose from now. As long as you work hard, you’ll win this award in the future. At that time, you won’t be a supporting actress anymore. You’ll win the Best Actress Award!”

“Really? Brother Jie, you believe in me?” Jian Yiyi looked at Dong Jie with tears in her eyes.

Dong Jie nodded. “Of course I do. You should believe in yourself too.”

Hearing Dong Jie’s words, Jian Yiyi was in a much better mood. She was indeed unlucky this time, but just as Dong Jie had said, her starting point was high enough that she was qualified to choose good scripts. She would have a chance in the future.

“Alright, the company’s celebration banquet is starting soon. I have to go over. Don’t go since you’re crying so much. Go home and rest first,” Dong Jie said.

Jian Yiyi wiped her eyes and nodded. “Thank you, Brother Jie. I’m fine.”

The next day, the Star Awards ceremony occupied the headlines .

Other than Xia Qinghuan winning the Best Actress Award for both the Galaxy Award and Star Award, which became the headline on the front page, the topic of the female supporting role also became a headline.

The best supporting actress? Did she deserve it or were there other intentions?!

He Jiayi was nominated seven times and finally won the Best Supporting Actress Award, but fans suspected it was the jury’s consolation award to her!

Awesome!!! Jian Yiyi and Du Wei were nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award just to make way for the senior!

Magazines with such titles covered the sky. Most of the crowd felt indignant for Jian Yiyi.

All of this was not without reason. As a top manager who had been in the entertainment circle for many years, Dong Jie naturally wouldn’t sit idle when He Jiayi snatched the trophy that should have belonged to Jian Yiyi.

In just one night, he used all the connections he could to point at He Jiayi and win a lot of sympathy and favorability for Jian Yiyi.

When Jian Yiyi saw this, her gloomy mood was swept away. She thought to herself, ‘As expected of Brother Jie. He can use anything as a bargaining chip to turn the situation around.’

Although He Jiayi won an award, she lost the public’s reputation. The gains did not make up for the losses.

As the weaker party, Jian Yiyi naturally became the target of everyone’s heartache after being sacrificed by the Star Award. Her popularity with passersby increased by almost a million fans overnight. She was also the female celebrity with the highest increase in fans that day.

Some people got what they wanted but lost even more.

Some people thought they had lost what they wanted, but they obtained more.

“This Dong Jie is quite capable.”

Jian Changsheng sipped his coffee and flipped through the entertainment weekly this morning. He couldn’t help but praise.

Ever since Jian Yiyi entered the entertainment circle, Jian Changsheng, who never read entertainment magazines, started to read entertainment news. He watched how his daughter became famous step by step.

Jian Changsheng naturally understood his daughter’s manager. He had seen him a few times, and he always gave him a calm and capable feeling.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he did not show mercy.

Qiao Shuyi, who was sitting at the side, only smiled when she heard this. “No matter what, he’s doing this for Yiyi. The awards party last night was a topic that everyone paid attention to. He seized the opportunity to create a discussion for Yiyi. As her manager, he’s already very responsible.”

Jian Changsheng nodded. “That’s good too. We don’t have to comfort her. I think her mood improved when she saw this.”

Jian Changsheng put the magazine on the table and stood up. “I have to go to South City to see the construction progress. I’ll have dinner with Lu Youcai tonight to discuss something. You don’t have to wait for me.”

“Alright, I’ll go to Dad and Mom’s place to see Yichen tonight,” Qiao Shuyi said.

Jian Changsheng went out in a suit. However, he didn’t drive all the way to South City. Instead, he went to a coffee shop in the city center.

In the coffee shop, a refined man in glasses was already waiting there.

“Mr. Jian.”

When the other party saw Jian Changsheng, he stood up to greet him. Jian Changsheng nodded slightly and asked, “Any progress?”

The man shook his head. “I found nothing useful. When your daughter went abroad, she took an international flight to Peru. Other than this line, I couldn’t find anything else.”

“You mean after she landed in Peru, she disappeared?” Jian Changsheng frowned in disbelief.

The man nodded. “You could say that.”

Jian Changsheng was speechless. He only found out about Xiao Ai’s sudden departure later. However, he knew that Meizi wouldn’t tell her some things, and Xiao Yu treated him as an enemy, so he could only find someone to help investigate.

Although he knew he couldn’t do anything, even if he found out about Xiao Ai, he still wanted to know where his daughter was.

However, now, the best detective in Baiyun City told him this result, making him worry about his daughter.
