An Nuan took a taxi to Xinghui Entertainment Company. As soon as she got out, she saw Shuo Shuo anxiously glancing around.
When Shuo Shuo saw her, she quickly rushed over, grabbed her, and pulled her inside.
An Nuan was baffled. "What's wrong, Shuo Shuo?"
"Don't ask, just come in with me first!"
Lan Shuo Shuo was not only her agent but also a close friend. Naturally, she was worried for An Nuan and always considered her best interests. So, An Nuan didn't ask any more questions and followed Shuo Shuo to the general manager's office.
Shuo Shuo stopped outside the door, took a deep breath, and knocked.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Three knocks, but no one answered.
Shuo Shuo knocked three more times, harder. Just as she was about to call out, An Nuan raised a hand and pressed down on Shuo Shuo's arm. "Stop knocking. Ye Meiqi isn't here."
"How do you know?" Lan Shuo Shuo turned to look at An Nuan's calm demeanor, her own heart already bubbling with anxiety.
"Are you telling me you haven't heard a single thing? You've been shelved by the company, don't you know?" Shuo Shuo had just gotten the news herself, which was why she'd called An Nuan without explaining anything, hoping they could find a solution. But looking at An Nuan, she seemed completely unfazed.
"I know. Ye Meiqi told me herself yesterday."
"What?" Lan Shuo Shuo asked incredulously. "How is that possible? Didn't Ye Meiqi always have high hopes for you? She was the one who said she'd strongly promote you before. How could she just... when you were finally ready to make a splash—"
"She wasn't keen on me; she had her sights set on Xiao Ruoyu. But before she could even negotiate with me, I stumbled upon the two of them fooling around in bed. Mortified and furious, she simply decided to blacklist me!" An Nuan said this very lightly, even finding it amusing to recall Xiao Ruoyu's panicked expression from earlier.
But Shuo Shuo, at this moment, was staring at An Nuan with wide eyes, the expression on her face nothing short of horror.
"You mean... they were having an affair, and you caught them in the act?" The latter half of her sentence was practically screamed.
An Nuan quickly clapped a hand over Shuo Shuo's mouth. "Lower your voice! Aren't we miserable enough already?" She hadn't expected Ye Meiqi to act so quickly. What she said yesterday, she put into action today. This meant Xiao Ruoyu had made her very satisfied, so satisfied she couldn't bear to let him go.
"So what are you going to do? If the company won't promote you and won't terminate your contract... Don't forget, you signed a ten-year contract! After ten years, you'll be over thirty, no longer a young girl. Or... why don't you just go sleep with our big boss!"
"Big boss?" An Nuan looked at Shuo Shuo, bewildered. "What big boss? Isn't this Xinghui Company owned by Ye Meiqi's family?"
"It's her family's, yes, but the major shareholder and chairman isn't from the Ye family!" Lan Shuo Shuo pursed her lips, patting An Nuan's shoulder dismissively. "As long as you can hook up with the big boss, we two sisters can rise to prominence like phoenixes. Then would we still be afraid of that Ye Meiqi? By then, you won't even want that scumbag Xiao Ruoyu anymore. What a piece of garbage! I knew he wasn't a good person from the start, but you just wouldn't listen to me, rushing in headfirst like a heated razor. Now look, you've been fooled, haven't you!"
Lan Shuo Shuo's scolding was tinged with impatience, her face a picture of exasperated disappointment. She was truly both angry and heartbroken for An Nuan. She and An Nuan had come here right after graduation. An Nuan pursued an artist's path, while she became an agent. Shuo Shuo had seen clearly, from beginning to end, how hard Nuan Nuan worked, and even more so, how much she sacrificed for that scumbag. In the end, not only was the scumbag ungrateful, but he also cheated. She truly wanted to go over and smash Xiao Ruoyu's head open to see what was inside, and then dig out his heart and liver to see if they were black.
Scumbag! Shuo Shuo vehemently cursed him in her heart. An Nuan hugged Shuo Shuo. "I know you mean well for me, but Shuo Shuo, you also need to consider the reality of the situation. Do you think the big boss would be interested in someone like me?"
Shuo Shuo looked An Nuan up and down a few times, then finally said with disappointment, "Pretty enough, but lacking in allure. Forget it. Let's think of something more realistic!"
As she spoke, the two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
Just as they were about to leave, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and Ye Meiqi and Xiao Ruoyu emerged from inside together. Ye Meiqi swept a glance at An Nuan and said in a sneering tone, "So you're here. Coincidentally, I have a supporting female role for you. Consider it a reward for just now telling me about his past disgraces!"
