Chapter 245: That Was Life
“That’s right,” Only then did Li Changqing thought about it. “Things are like this,” he turned over to Yi Ling. “Yi Ling, you might need to bring another newbie. It was good that you brought Yan Huan. Hence I plan to give you another assignment. Do you have any opinions about it?”
“No, no.” How could she have any opinions about it? She gripped her fingers on her knees but she was incredibly happy. This was the first time somebody told her that she could bring an artiste. This proved that she has some fame.
“That is good.” Li Changqing smiled. He seemed to be in a good mood too.
“Also,” He placed his gaze back on Yan Huan.
“I have found a personal assistant for you. She will help you manage everything from now on. She is incredibly professional and has quite a lot of working experience.”
Assistant? Yan Huan thought of Luo Lin. She had told her that she would let her be her personal assistant but they haven’t contacted each other in a really long time. Perhaps she had already found other jobs. As for the company assigning her a personal assistant, she was fine with it. The company wants to make money too and wouldn’t harm her. She had no opinions with it so long as it wasn’t someone hard to get along with.
She was indeed incredibly shock when she saw her new assistant.
“It is you!”
“Yes, it is me.” Luo Lin laughed. She was dressed professionally, smart and capable.
“I have already nulled my contract with my former company before coming to Yuelun. Mrs. Fang, I will be you personal assistant from today onwards. Hope we have a good working experience.”
She extended a hand to Yan Huan as she formally introduced herself. What was in the past was in the past and what’s now is now. She had a new identity now and was no longer Xiao Rongrong’s manager.
“Hi.” Yan Huan also shook Luo Lin’s hand. Honestly, she was winning by gaining an assistant like Luo Lin. Her fame now was nowhere near Xiao Rongrong and she had only entered the entertainment industry not long. However, Luo Lin was a veteran and already had some name. She had many connections and knew many directors and scriptwriters. She had been in the industry for many years and naturally, she knew the ins and outs of the industry way better than Yi Ling.
Yan Huan felt her luck meter exploding having an assistant like her.
The two of them shook hands. From today onwards, they were on the same boat. Their lives do not exactly depend on each other but whatever benefits that come their way, they would share it together. If one benefits, the other benefits too. If one loses out, the other one loses out too.
The door opened as Yi Ling walked in. Her face was incredibly black.
“What happened?” Yan Huan looked back. “Who angered you?”
“You will know in a while.” Yi Ling tugged at her lips. She felt her smile becoming incredibly fake and ugly.
No, she wasn’t smiling. Her muscles were twitching.
In a while. Yan Huan and Luo Lin looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea what was wrong with Yi Ling. Not long after, not only was Yi Ling’s face black, so was Yan Huan’s. Yi ling was mad while Yan Huan was troubled.
She stared expressionlessly at the mild-mannered looking man in front of her.
Could this be fate? She took a look at Yi Ling again and saw her face scrunched up in disgust. She looked as if she had eaten a fly. No, not a fly. Half a worm. Yes, and it was different from the one in the past.
The first impression had sucked and it wasn’t easy for her to change her impression. Hence, Yi Ling was still safe. Yan Huan didn’t understand how Ding Ming ended up in Yuelun’s office. And at the end of the day, Yi Ling has to be the one to bring him.
She stared into Ding Ming’s eyes for a long time. Ding Ming only gave a dry smile; he gave off a boy-next-door look but there was more within that pair of eyes.
There was no innocence but craftiness. There was a lack of sincerity, and a lot of plotting.
He was much darker than what his appearance led people to believe. He had a black heart.
Yan Huan went to find Li Changqing first to see if he could kick Ding Ming away and hand him to someone else.
Li Changqing lightly tapped the table with his knuckles.
“Yan Huan, this is the company’s decision. Unless there is a real valid reason, I cannot approve it. Even though when we signed a contract, the company promised to give you the greatest freedom. There still needs to be rules in a company. If your reason is valid, I will pass them over to the upper management. If it isn’t, then I really cannot do it.”
Yan Huan understood it. But what could she say? Could she say that Ding Ming caused Yi Ling to commit suicide and led her to lose Yi Ling with no friends and family from then on?
Whoever heard that would think she was crazy.
Moreover, there was that thing that happened between her and Ding Ming at the set of Palace Imperial Concubine. She couldn’t spew her mouth on that she that wasn’t an appropriate reason too.
“So there is no way?” Yan Huan felt a sense of forcefulness again. When she was more independent, she was going to soar alone. Just like what Li Changqing had said: She had freedom but after all, she needed to follow the rules of the company.
“Yes there is,” Li Changqing smiled, “you can let the person backing you say something?”
Yan Huan furrowed her brow as she understood who he was referring to.
Lu Yi?
It was just that she wasn’t about to drag Lu Yi into something like this. Lu Yi said he would protect her but she couldn’t be so thick-skinned to get him to help with everything. Even though she knew that if she were to say something, that guy wouldn’t refuse her.
But things weren’t at that stage yet and she didn’t want to owe him too much. She had no money to send back and could only do so with her blood. How much blood does she have?
As for that Ding Ming, a cold smile appeared on her face.
Actually it wasn’t a bad thing to have him close to them. She wanted to see how he ends himself.
Yi Ling’s new artist was Ding Ming and she had an incredibly bad impression of him, the worst of the worst. Whether it was saying that she looked like a man, or saying that her breasts were too small, or the other disgusting things that he had, she was repulsed whenever you remembered these things.
But a good thing was that Ding Ming had no fame now and he was just rolling around in the industry now. There were no suitable roles for him and to be honest, he was just following Yan Huan. Yan Huan’s fame was steadily increasing while Ding Ming had nothing. Hence, he needed to make use of someone’s fame to get others to notice him.
He had chosen Yan Huan in the end. He also probably could tell =that Yan Huan would make a name for herself. He had definitely heard about the person backing her also and hence, was even more determined to follow Yan Huan until he could strike it out on his own.
