Chapter 9 (2/2)
Yun Nan found Fang Xi in the middle room on the second floor. Fang Xi led her by the hand and showed her around. “This is your office! Do you like it? I’ve set up everything; you can move in any time.”
Yun Nan smiled and hugged her. “Thanks for your hard work, thank you!”
“Now that we’re free for the next few days, let’s polish up your script,” Fang Xi got straight down to business.
Yun Nan looked at Fang Xi calmly and told her, “Fang Xi, there’s been a change; I quit the Yun Corporation. I plan to produce the film
‘4:30 PM
‘ myself. What do you think?”
Fang Xi’s eyes widened in surprise, which quickly turned into delight. “Really? Are you serious? You really quit the Yun Corporation?”
Yun Nan nodded and imparted, “And I took the script ‘
4:30 PM
‘ with me. However, there’ll be trouble ahead. Be prepared to take over at any time. The Yun Corporation might retaliate and turn public opinion against us so we need to be ready for a PR fight.”
Fang Xi clapped her hands and said, “No biggie, it’ll be a piece of cake! What’s important is that you’re free from your family! That’s wonderful news! We must eat something good to celebrate.”
Yun Nan laughingly joked, “Is eating a good meal the only way to express our joy?”
“Of course, food is the topmost priority of life!” Fang Xi said proudly.
Yun Nan then proceeded to tell her about her conflict with the Yun family though she didn’t mention her marriage with Shi Nian.
Fang Xi was well-informed of Yun Nan’s family situation, so she wasn’t surprised at the news.
She also had something to share with Yun Nan. “I was just about to tell you. Last year, you applied for the New Director’s Award and got shortlisted, but you didn’t win. The truth was, you didn’t lose; you were removed. After you got nominated, Yun Zhang replaced you with another director from his company. But in the end, that director didn’t receive the award.”
“I had dinner with members from the Film Director’s Association the day before yesterday, and they still felt it was a pity you withdrew from nomination. They said that if you didn’t quit, you would have won last year’s New Director’s Award.”
Yun Nan was stunned, and then she realized that Yun Zhang must have listened to Yun Liu and replaced her.
When Yun Nan participated in the award competition last year, Yun Liu wanted to act in her second movie, but Yun Nan rejected her because there was no role suitable for Yun Liu. She wasn’t targeting Yun Liu; she was merely stating facts.
Although Yun Liu had formal training, her acting skills were poor.
Yun Nan didn’t expect she would secretly screw her over in such a way. That woman is on a whole new level of vindictiveness!
