Chapter 257 - Really Have to Admit that You are Damn Lucky! (1/2)
“Alright then, although I still hope that you can help me figure out if An Yiqing has any other ulterior motives.” Even though Jiang Yuning agreed to lend a helping hand to An Yiqing, this did not mean that she had already let go of her cautions against An Yiqing.
“I will verify the situation for you,” Vera replied as she nodded her head.
Vera did not know why but she felt as though Jiang Yuning’s dislike for An Yiqing was very obvious and apparent. Was it simply because of An Yiqing’s agent?
In fact, Jiang Yuning did not dislike her because of her agent. It was simply because Jiang Yuning could not describe the feeling that she had when she interacted with An Yiqing. It was not as simple as a mere like or dislike for the person, although An Yiqing’s agent was clearly not a simple person. Who would know what kind of person An Yiqing would eventually turn out to be, since she was placed under the care and influence of this kind of person?
Jiang Yuning and Vera arrived at Guangying Media early the next day as promised.
However, An Yiqing and her agent did not show up that day because they had already left to attend another audition.
“An Yiqing has asked me to pass you a message. She says that this matter is between her and Hua Xin and she does not want to involve you in their squabble. She has also asked me to thank you for everything,” Shen Yichen said as soon as he saw Jiang Yuning walking into his office. “So, you don’t have to take this matter to heart. I will try to arrange some resources for An Yiqing in future to compensate her.”
“I want to know more about Hua Xin’s background,” Jiang Yuning suddenly said as she looked at Shen Yichen.
“She has already been signed for a very long time and has already accumulated a lot of interest under Guangying Media. She used to top all the charts in her glory days, but after that, she got married and had a child before she eventually filed for a divorce. By that time, she had already missed out on the prime and most important years in her career. That is why she is trying to regain all the power and fame that she has lost in the past. She is just jealous that you are so popular nowadays,” Shen Yichen started explaining. “She has also gotten involved with a magnate recently but I do not know much about the man or their relationship.”
“I see. Alright then. Director Shen, I really do not want to implicate any innocent people in this matter between Hua Xin and myself. Therefore, if you can think of any ways to help An Yiqing, please do not hesitate to do so.”
“I wanted to transfer some of your variety show resources over to her but there is no way for me to do that. The production team has designated you and only you as their preference and there is no other way to do it,” Shen Yichen replied as he shrugged.
Jiang Yuning was very widely recognized in the entertainment industry nowadays, especially in variety shows and endorsement activities. Therefore, many people had already come knocking on the door to invite her to participate in their variety programs or activities and they refused to acknowledge anyone else but Jiang Yuning because they felt that she was irreplaceable. They were even willing to wait for Jiang Yuning’s schedule to clear up so that they would have the opportunity to work with her.
“I do not mind helping her or giving her any resources but at this time, I think that it is best if you do not link us both together. That would be the best way to protect her,” Jiang Yuning replied. “I can also provide her with financial support behind the scenes but not out in the open. If Hua Xin finds out that I am on close terms with An Yiqing and that I am trying to help her carve out her career path, then Hua Xin would definitely bully her more often.”
“I understand what you mean,” Shen Yichen replied as he nodded.
What they meant was that the more they reacted to what Hua Xin was doing, the more she would feel as though she had already succeeded. At that time, she would definitely do even more bad things to hurt An Yiqing.
However, if it seemed as though Jiang Yuning was turning a blind eye to whatever Hua Xin was doing to An Yiqing, then Hua Xin would probably get bored of it and just stop whatever she was doing.
“Just let me know if there is anything you need help with. As you know, I have some money nowadays…”
Shen Yichen sneered before he replied, “Do you think that I would hesitate to ask you?”
Jiang Yuning smiled before she left Guangying Media with Vera.
“Have you made concessions regarding An Yiqing?”
Jiang Yuning shook her head before she replied, “I still cannot explain to you what I feel about An Yiqing. In the past, when I first met you, I could tell from the beginning that you are kind even though you were trying to harm me at the start…but with An Yiqing…I am not so sure. Anyway, Vera, I believe that there is no need to implicate any innocent people in this matter. Therefore, if I could, I will do anything I can to help her.”
Vera agreed with Jiang Yuning immediately. “I think that you are making the right decision. We do not need to stand out and make everything public. There is no need to complicate things any further.”
“Alright then, please ask my brother to do a thorough background check on Hua Xin just in case. It is better for us to be well-prepared for whatever comes our way.”
“Stop stressing yourself out with all this negativity. I will tell you some good news now. is already scheduled to be broadcasted in mid-November. I believe that they are aiming to grab some of the awards at the end of the year. The role that you played in the drama should be able to accumulate some good points and reputation for you.”
“I am really looking forward to it!” After all, Jiang Yuning really worked hard for that drama and it was only natural for her to be eager for the public to finally meet Lin Ping’er.
Later that afternoon, Vera accompanied Jiang Yuning to her music lessons.
She realized that Jiang Yuning had some musical talents and she had a really good voice. After the lesson, she asked Jiang Yuning: “So, is the song that you wrote for the second young master Lu complete already?”
