After Jiang Cheng turned and left.
Reba immediately lowered her voice and asked Yang Mi, "Sister Mi, did I cause trouble for the Company? I was just standing there; I didn't even take the initiative to greet them. I don't know how it ended up like this..."
Looking at the worried Reba, Yang Mi helplessly patted her shoulder to comfort her. "This isn't on you. Blame it on your bad luck. This circle is just like that; capital is always at the very top of the food chain. As long as you are still an actress, you will encounter similar things again."
Hearing this, Reba couldn't help but bite her lip, asking full of grievance, "Then what should I do now?"
Yang Mi sighed and said, "Unless you quit this circle, otherwise, if you want to avoid this kind of thing, you either pray for enough good luck or speak with true ability. Look at those standing in high positions; which one of them doesn't have some background and connections behind them?"
Reba thought for a moment and asked, still somewhat puzzled, "But Sister Mi, didn't you also reach your current position through your own hard work?"
Yang Mi shook her head with a bitter smile. "Me? I suppose so, but at least seventy percent of it was luck. Think about it, why did I come back to work immediately after giving birth? If I had rested for a few more years before making a comeback, the market situation would have probably been very different by then. Where would I even have a place to stand? I'm doing okay now, with my shares in Company as a gimmick, so I don't lack resources. But what about you? There are too many beautiful women in this circle; it doesn't lack one of you."
"Does one really have to find a backer just to get a role? I haven't even had a real relationship yet..." she murmured to herself.
Yang Mi couldn't help but sneer at those words. "Silly girl, do you think true love is that easy to find? Back then, I also naively thought I had married for love, but what was the result? Look at him now; in the blink of an eye, he's getting cozy with other actresses, 'discussing scripts' together. It sounds nice to call it a script, but who knows what they're doing in the room? You're well aware of these things too."
After Yang Mi finished speaking, Reba's mouth moved as she said, "Sister Mi, I'm sorry for bringing up your painful memories."
Yang Mi waved her hand. "The divorce is already final, so it's not exactly painful. Back then, for his sake, I chose to get married and have a child at the peak of my career. But what did he ever give me? Aside from those few hypocritical and cold 'I love you's' on the phone screen, everything else I had to fight for myself. Do you really want such an ethereal love too?"
"But... where am I supposed to find a so-called backer?"
"Isn't he right in front of you? I don't believe he simply finds Feng Gan unpleasant to the eye. However, the current situation is still hard to say. Let's first see if he really has the ability to help you settle the trouble with Feng Gan before making a conclusion."
Seeing Jiang Cheng finish his conversation with Yang Mi and the others, Wang Congcong, who was standing to the side, also stepped forward to follow him.
He walked up to Jiang Cheng and asked, "How do you plan to handle the matter with Feng Gan?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng unhurriedly picked up a glass of red wine from the table, took a light sip, and reached out to signal Su Wan, who was not far away, to come over.
Then he looked at Wang Congcong and asked back, "What do you mean, how to handle it?"
Given Jiang Cheng's usual style of doing things, Wang Congcong knew very well that Feng Gan certainly wouldn't have a good outcome this time.
So he stopped beating around the bush and said directly to Jiang Cheng, "If you want to deal with him, count me in."
Seeing Wang Congcong say this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
"You have a grudge against him?"
Seeing Su Wan walk over, Wang Congcong didn't deny it.
"Last year, Company poached a high-level executive surnamed Gao from our Company. My dad was very angry. At that time, Feng Gan happened to film the movie 'Pan Jinlian,' so our Company Cinemas reduced the number of screenings for him, causing their box office to shrink. Then Feng Gan wrote a long, sarcastic post on Social Media Platform to my dad, trying to incite public indignation to increase their movie's box office. To put it bluntly, he was just playing the victim to the public."
After Wang Congcong finished speaking, Su Wan's expression on the side was slightly strange.
Because she had also followed this matter at the time.
Both sides had engaged in a fierce argument on Social Media Platform.
But it had to be admitted that although Wang Congcong's replies at the time were direct and tough.
In comparison, Feng Gan, being a director by trade, was still superior when it came to glibness and being passive-aggressive.
Seeing Wang Congcong launch a barrage of criticism at Feng Gan, Jiang Cheng patted his shoulder. "Wasn't that film starring a certain Bing?"
Wang Congcong nodded and said, "That's right, it's that rotten movie with twisted values. The box office was also disastrous. Even if our Company hadn't reduced his screenings, it would have been a flop."
At the mention of Feng Gan's go-to female star, Jiang Cheng immediately thought of an excellent breakthrough point.
"Let's chat on wechat. This investment meeting is quite boring. Do you want to leave together? I'm heading out first."
Hearing this, Wang Congcong glanced at Su Wan, then raised his eyebrows at Jiang Cheng. "You go ahead, you go ahead. I'm going to chat with Big Honey for a bit longer."
Seeing Wang Congcong walk toward Big Honey, Su Wan said in a slightly sour tone, "Do you men all like Big Honey?"
Jiang Cheng stopped in his tracks upon hearing this. "If I don't like big chests, do I like flat chests?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng's evasive answer, Su Wan's face turned red. "I was talking about Sister Mi."
"So, is there something wrong with my answer? Haven't you ever thought about why you're called Da Wanyin?"
Teased by Jiang Cheng like this, although Su Wan's face became even hotter, she asked as if possessed, "Then do you think mine are bigger or hers?"
This sudden question from Su Wan made Jiang Cheng stop in his tracks, looking at her full chest with a face full of surprise.
At this moment, the guide specifically serving VIPs by the elevator had already thoughtfully pressed the elevator button for them.
Seeing this, Su Wan hesitated for a moment before reaching out and gently taking Jiang Cheng's arm, urging him with a bit of embarrassment, "Let's go quickly, the elevator is here."
Since there was a third person in the elevator, Su Wan withdrew her hand and put it behind her back.
Seeing Su Wan's sudden action, Jiang Cheng was surprised but also accepted it very calmly.
He thought it was just a small, accidental interlude, but who knew that as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Su Wan asked again, "You haven't answered my question yet."
This question was indeed difficult for Jiang Cheng to answer; after all, he hadn't scanned Yang Mi's various values just now.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng looked at Su Wan's profile again.
[Name: Su Wan]
[Age: 19]
[Height: 165 cm]
[Beauty: 94]
[Figure: 96]
[Privacy: 0]
[favorability value: 92]
Looking at it this way, he couldn't help but be even more surprised.
He had actually put Su Wan's proud figure at the back of his mind.
Su Wan's figure score was actually on par with Zhou Ying's.
After all, it had been so long, and it was only that time when he was drunk in Chengdu that Su Wan had walked into the wrong room, allowing him to feel it once while half-asleep.
Recalling it carefully, although the room was pitch black at the time, the softness and fullness buried under his cheek were so real.
Not just the figure, but even the favorability value surprised Jiang Cheng immensely.
A favorability of 92 meant she had no defenses against Jiang Cheng and was completely in a state where she could be handled however he pleased.
