Chapter 83: 083: You lost your memory

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Was it true that she was originally supposed to be the first female lead of the show?!

If this was true and it was her manager who partnered up with someone else and messed things up, no matter who it was, they would have definitely caused a scene.

When she saw Una’s face turn awful and continued warning her with eyes, Jing Qian’s emotion of wanting to beat the dog in the water as the winner should dominate the world started growing out of control.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Tell us, in front of everyone in this room, as my manager, have you taken my benefit into consideration? Why did you conspire with someone else in order to take away my role?”

“Qianqian, I already told you that you lost your memory.”

“So I lost my memory, and now you get the right to conspire with an outsider and harm the interest of your artist. By doing this, does this count as a violation of our contract?”

The look on Una’s face was ugly beyond any words could describe.

She finally knew why Jing Qian had been compliant the day before after learning the news that there was a change in cast; she had been waiting for an opportunity today.

Jing Qian wanted everyone to know that Una had harmed the interest of her own artist and had violated their contract. If she wanted to end the contract between them and if Una mentioned the private agreement that they had, Jing Qian would be able to sue her in court.

Una felt that Jing Qian had really tripped her, and she fell really badly.

As she had no other choice, Una was forced to say, “You’re right, I had foreseen your benefits in this matter, but you were the one who agreed to leave these matters to me. It was something that we promised. We even wrote it in the contract.”

“The reason why we wrote it into the contract was because I trusted you. But what about you? You used the trust that I had in you and gave the opportunity to someone else. Even if we had an agreement before this, does it mention that I would not be allowed to question you if you did something to harm me? Or does it say that even if you sold me to someone else, I would still be counting your fortunes?”

Una was speechless.

Jing Qian was holding on to the matter and Una finally experienced how it felt to be put in a tough spot.

“Regarding this matter, I didn’t think it through. I’m sorry, Qianqian.”

“I don’t want your apology. If apologizing is useful, why would we still need the police?”

“But the decision had already been made…. Why don’t we just let it go for now? I promise to discuss all my decisions in the future with you before making them.” Una has already placed herself at her lowest.

“Decided? Who is it that made the decision? You? Were you the one who invested in the show, giving you the right to decide? I can let go of this, but you better discuss with me before making any other decision. As for now, you should go and hunt for a good first female lead role for me. I’ll give you one week’s time. If you fail to do so, you’ll have to compensate me with 1 billion yuan.”

“1 billion?!” Una’s eyes widened. “You’re just a newcomer and the most that anyone would pay you for an episode would be 800,000. A drama with 35 episodes would only give you 28 million, and yet you’re asking me for 1 billion?”

“Of course, how else would it be a compensation then?” Jing Qian replied with a smile on her face. “I may be a newcomer, but the amount of money that I get from each episode shouldn’t be decided by you. I have a contract with Zhongbo and they are willing to pay me 3 million each episode. With 35 episodes, I’ll be able to get 1 billion in total. Your actions have not only cost me 1 billion, but you have also caused me to lose the chance of becoming famous, along with the endless possibilities that I would have because of this. Therefore, if I don’t ask you for 1 billion, who should I get it from then?”

When everyone heard what she said, they couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

3 million each episode?

That’s the amount of an well-established first female lead.

What kind of relationship did Jing Qian have with Zhongbo?


Chapter 84: 084: Don’t you dare!

“Jing Qian, don’t you dare! Don’t think that I wouldn’t expose what you did.” Una fumed with rage.

“Expose me?” Jing Qian laughed. “You’re talking as if I’ve done something shameful. Did I find myself a ‘sugar-daddy’ or make myself a mistress? You can say whatever you want as long as it is the truth. There’s nothing that I’m afraid of letting everyone else know. Therefore, if you have any bad sh*t that you want to expose about me, go ahead. There is a possibility that I will let go of this 1 billion compensation if it is explosive enough.”

The only reason why the Zhan family had not announced Jing Qian’s identity was that they had accepted the condition that the previous owner suggested and the only reason why she decided to hide her identity was because she was still in love with Qin Yi. Her plan was that once she got the fame and fortune, she would get back together with Qin Yi and she could pretend that she had never gotten married.

However, Jing Qian was no longer the previous owner. She didn’t feel pressured about letting everyone know about her identity. She even felt that once everyone else in this room found out who she was, they would be extremely respectful towards her and would even try to flatter her.

There was nothing that Una could do about the fuming rage inside her and she suddenly felt useless.

She felt that the Jing Qian now was out of control and there was no way that she could put her under her thumb.

Director He’s face was also awful-looking as well.

This was because they had already settled things with the crew and would be making the official announcement tomorrow. However, the third female lead decided to not comply and was asking for the first female lead role.

He was the one that settled the matter, which meant that he had already taken in all the benefits from making it work.

Now that Jing Qian was making a scene, Una’s suffering was a trivial matter; the important thing here was that he may also be in deep sh*t because of this.

“Enough. I don’t care what is happening between the both of you, but I will only listen to what Una said. Since you have already authorised her regarding this matter and you didn’t even bother asking her about it, you are the one who should bear the consequences if anything happens. The official announcement will be made tomorrow. It’s already too late for any changes now even if you want to be the first female lead. We will discuss this later on. As for you and Una, the both of you should settle it amongst yourself.”

“Huh? You only listen to Una when you’re the Vice Director of the Operating Department of Zhongbo? Who is she? Your mother? You only listen to her but not your company? Do you think that you’ll be off the hook just because of the crap that you just said? Or is it because Zhongbo has given you the right to ignore the company and to only follow Una’s orders?”

Then, she stood up and continued. “I think that there’s no need for me to be here for the meeting. You guys should go on ahead without me.”

With that, she walked out of the conference room.

Director He’s face turned dark.

He was aware that Jing Qian may have some sort of support; otherwise, the director wouldn’t have personally told him to take extra care of her. If Jing Qian were to look for the director now, what would happen to him if the director insisted on investigating this matter? Wouldn’t they find out about the benefits that he had gotten from this?”

“Jing Qian, stop!”

Director He panicked and shouted at Jing Qian as he rushed after her.

Una got so scared that she ran out as well.

As soon as she stepped out of the conference room, she realized that this would be useless. Then, she called Qin Yi and asked him for help.

Qin Yi became anxious as well. He was worried that his first male lead role would go missing. Therefore, he immediately used another number and called Jing Qian.

Jing Qian saw the call and answered but as soon. as she heard the anxious tone, she immediately ended the call.
