453 Another Ally (2/2)

Although she had lost one Lu Qiyuan, she received so tenfold of love and care.

”That's right. However, even though I'm ready to act, I can probably join the crew two days late. Zhuoli is sick and I'm worried about him, so I wish to wait until he's better. I will get back to work only after he is well in two or three days,” Lu Man said, explicitly mentioning her problem.

”No problem, I'll decide on this on behalf of Ji Cheng,” Sun Yiwu said.

Lu Man had agreed right away without any conditions. So, how could a small request of joining the shoot two days late be a problem?

”Ok, then please give me Director Ji's phone number, I'll contact him.”

”How can I let you contact him? You have helped him a great deal this time, he must be the one to contact you first,” Sun Yiwu said, ”Just wait, I'll have him contact you.”

”Alright.” Lu Man agreed and hung up the phone.

While Lu Man was on the phone with Sun Yiwu, Lu Qi had also just ended a phone call with Ji Cheng.

Feeling a little conflicted, Lu Qi asked Xia Qingyang, ”Mom, is this really going to be alright?”

Since Lu Qi stopped getting any offers to star in shows, Lu Qiyuan had fired Lu Qi's original manager, despising the fact that the manager kept getting paid without doing any work, not being able to find even a single gig or job for Lu Qi.

Since then, Xia Qingyang had taken on the role of being Lu Qi's manager.

Xia Qingyang felt that this job was a piece of cake. Wasn't it just finding jobs for Lu Qi, raising their conditions to the other party, negotiating with them in order to get the maximum benefit for Lu Qi?

She found herself to be excellent at doing such things.

It was just like back in the past when she used to go to the market and bargain with the grocery sellers.

Who wouldn't know how to do it? Why should they even bother paying to a manager?

She felt that it was honestly a right move to fire that previous manager of Lu Qi.

Xia Qingyang blew on the nail polish she had just applied. ”Why not? He's about to start shooting tomorrow. If you don't join the crew, he can't film his movie either. Extending one day is just wasting one day's worth of money. Ji Cheng finally started directing a film after much effort, he doesn't have much investment, so he can't afford this. As long as he wishes for everything to sail smoothly, he will have to agree to your conditions. Just sit and watch, Mom guarantees you that you will leap straight to become an A-list star. This is our golden opportunity to make a comeback.”
