Chapter 144: Do I Seem Gullible?

“Hmph, it is said that Lin Chenggong is Tao Wei’s junior. Tao Wei was the one who brought Lin Chenggong into the industry.”

Everyone knows about the dirty business of the entertainment industry. They simply didn’t want to expose it.

Personal benefits and interests were the focus of the social circle of the entertainment industry, and most people would try not to offend others as far as possible.

“It’s just a film. Anyway, everyone knows what your status is like. How can Yan Jinyi surpass you? Just take it as a lesson learned. From now on, we won’t work with Lin Chenggong anymore.”

Liu Ran was still feeling very reluctant and indignant. Back then, she had turned Tao Wei down because of his poor reputation.

Her manager cursed, “Who knew that Yan Jinyi would have such incredible tricks? We’d better lay low for the time being. Sooner or later, we’ll have a chance to teach her a lesson.”

“That’s all we can do.”

There were still people who gave Yan Jinyi flak, but there were more praises than criticism.

‘Female Fortress Leader’ was getting more and more popular and in half a year’s time, the box office sales had already broken the national record and become the fourth best-selling film in the nation.

On the other hand, the ratings of ‘Islander’ were getting lower and lower, and Tao Wei’s team consecutively revealed all of Lin Chenggong’s despicable misdeeds in the past, causing Lin Chenggong’s reputation to be tarnished.

Old Mr. Huo’s birthday was round the corner and Yan Jinyi was staring at the invitation list when she received an unexpected call from Lin Chenggong.

“Jinyi, we had a misunderstanding, let’s bury the hatchet. l’m preparing for a new film and I think you’re a suitable candidate for the female lead. I’ll be offering you 60 million yuan to play the role. The Tang Corporation is investing in it. Look…”

Staring at the string of unfamiliar numbers on her cellphone, Yan Jinyi thought, ‘Lin Chenggong called me to ask me to star in his film?’

‘There must be something fishy about this, unless the sun is rising from the West.’

“What makes you think I’ll take on the role? Is your film that good?”

Time seemed to have frozen and Yan Jinyi could sense that Lin Chenggong’s breathing had obviously become heavier.

“I am sincere in wanting to invite you to take on this role. Why don’t you come and meet me and take a look at the script? If you like it, we’ll proceed with the discussion. How does that sound?”

“I’ll need 1,000 yuan for travel expenses that are to be reimbursed.”

Lin Chenggong inhaled sharply.

‘1,000 yuan for travel expenses?’

‘Why can’t you take a domestic flight?’

“Why? Director Lin, can’t bear to spend that tiny amount?” Yan Jinyi looked up and continued, “Forget it then.”

Just as she was about to hang up, Lin Chenggong hurriedly tried to stop her. “No, no, once you arrive, I’ll transfer it to you on the spot. How about that?”

“My bank account number is my mobile number. Director Lin, you’re affluent. Transfer the money to me first.”

Yan Jinyi was really a money-grubber.

In less than five minutes, Yan Jinyi received the payment transfer from Lin Chenggong. In high spirits, she hummed a tune and began to pack her bags and doll herself up.

When she went downstairs, she saw Huo Zihang, Huo Qingyuan, and Zhang Guoquan discussing something important with their heads held close to each other.

Seeing that Yan Jinyi had deliberately dressed up, he couldn’t help but ask, “We were discussing about Grandpa’s birthday banquet. Where are you headed to?”

Holding the hem of her ankle-length skirt in one hand and carrying her purse in the other, Yan Jinyi said with a vibrant smile, “Someone paid me to beat him up.”

Huo Zihang and the other two thought that they had heard her wrongly.

Which psychopath would pay someone to beat them up?

To make things worse, the person was Yan Jinyi!

With a worried look, Huo Qingyuan asked, “Second Sister-in-law, did you receive a scam call? There are so many con artists nowadays, you have to be careful!”

Yan Jinyi said with raised brows, “Do I seem that gullible?”

Huo Qingyuan shook her head vigorously.

“I’m in a good mood today. Oh, right, Huo Zihang, remember to tell the PR department that Lin Chenggong tried to pull some underhanded tricks with me, but I bashed him instead.”
