Chapter 130: I…Got Rich Overnight!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Yuning did not know how she eventually walked out of Xiya Hotel. When she first stepped into Xiya Hotel, she was just a regular poor person. However, as she walked out of the hotel, she was suddenly one of the major shareholders of the global chain hotel. She could not believe that she actually owned 7% Xiya Hotel’s shares now.

Her father had to accompany Auntie Yun Xuan to seek treatment abroad to repay her kindness.

In fact, Jiang Yuning understood why he had to do that.

She was only a little upset as she had to be separated from her father again when they had just reunited a few days ago.

Fortunately, she managed to take a picture with her father before she left. Although her father refused to reveal his face, Jiang Yuning was already satisfied that she was able to take that picture with him.

At this time, one of the TV stations was having their production meeting to discuss their plans and to review the artistes that had been invited to participate in the next episode of <Hilarious Artistes>.

As soon as the director saw the words ‘Jiang Yuning’, he immediately frowned before asking, “Jiang Yuning? What is going on here? There are so many famous artistes lining up to appear on our show. Why have you chosen an actress like her instead?”

“Director, this is a request from Guangying Media. We have a contractual agreement with Guangying Media. As Guangying Media is one of our gold sponsors, they have the right to request for their artiste to appear on our show five times a year,” the program producer quickly informed the director.

“Is Guangying Media trying to be funny with me? Do they know how established and popular our program is? How could they expect me to allow a blacklisted actress such as Jiang Yuning to participate in our program? She has no special talents, she has no work to represent her right now, and she is full of scandals! There is absolutely no way I will allow her to be on my program,” the director said immediately.

“But…we have a contract with Guangying Media.”

“Guangying Media is going overboard this time!” the director yelled as he slammed his hand on the table. “I want all of you to find a way out of this. I do not want to cooperate or work with Jiang Yuning! Contact her agent now.”

The employees were all very frightened upon seeing the director’s reaction.

They were also put in a very difficult situation because Guangying Media was one of their gold sponsors. Moreover, this contract had already been implemented for more than two years. Should they really breach the contract and destroy the relationship that they had with Guangying Media just because of Jiang Yuning?

The program executives had no choice but to contract Vera and euphemistically express their refusal to cooperate or work with Jiang Yuning.

“Vera, just do us a favour. You can just switch her out for another artiste. Even if you name us an unknown artiste, it is still better than Jiang Yuning.”

“So, are you telling me that you intend to breach the contract?” Vera asked immediately. “There are rules operating in every industry. The director cannot simply decide to do everything according to his own personal preferences. No matter what it is, Jiang Yuning will be Guangying Media’s representative for the program.”

“Okay. Well…I will try to talk to the director again.”

The variety show had already been running for more than two years and this was the first time that the director had such an intense reaction.

The supervisor and staff of the production team were also annoyed as they had to lobby for Guangying Media to recommend another one of their artistes instead.

Finally, the deputy director decided to compromise and he told the director, “We can just go along with the idea and allow Jiang Yuning to participate in our program, as suggested by Guangying Media. That way, we will not be breaching the contract.”

“No way…”

“Brother, listen to my suggestion first. Jiang Yuning will participate in the next episode of our program, but I have a way to ensure that her face would not be seen throughout the entire episode. For our next episode, didn’t we plan to use an ugly robot to cooperate and participate in the program along with the guests? We could ask Jiang Yuning to put on the robot suit and no one would ever know that she is in fact the person in the suit! Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”

After listening to his younger brother’s suggestion, the director smiled and immediately replied, “That is a very good idea indeed. If we do that, they would not be able to say that we have breached the contract.”

“The terms of the contract are so vague and there is no clause stating that we cannot do that.” Both the brothers were very pleased at the idea.

A short while later, Vera received a phone call from the program producer informing her about the shooting date.

Vera was extremely surprised at the sudden change in the other party’s attitude. They had been so determined not to cast Jiang Yuning in the program—why did they have a sudden change in attitude?

However, she did not put much thought into it. She quickly informed Jiang Yuning about the scheduling and shooting date for the program without informing Jiang Yuning of the director’s initial refusal to cooperate with her.

However, this was because Vera also had her own perception of Jiang Yuning.

In her opinion, it would be very common for the directors and producers of any shows or programs to refuse to cooperate with Jiang Yuning.

The communication today was not good and there was a time bomb that had already been buried for the shooting date…and the bomb would eventually explode!

Furthermore, Jiang Yuning had just become one of the major shareholders of one of the gold sponsors for <Hilarious Artistes>.

How many people would have to pay for this?

As she needed to prepare for the filming of the variety show, Jiang Yuning had no choice but to postpone the shooting for her next short video.

The young paparazzo was quite upset when he heard the news.

“Sister Yuning, will we stop shooting these ancient videos already?”

“Of course not. I love the ancient style and I also love wearing the traditional Chinese outfits. I have already decided on what we should do for the next short video. We will start shooting it at night after I finished filming the variety show,” Jiang Yuning assured the young paparazzo. “Do not be so disappointed.”

“I am not disappointed. I want others to be able to see how energetic and bright you are, so that they can see you in a positive light. As long as there is an opportunity for you to prove yourself, I will always support you no matter what it is. I will even come along with you to be your personal assistant!” the young paparazzo replied energetically.

“I will also make sure that I do my best so that I do not let you down.” Jiang Yuning secretly vowed in her heart.

“You can be rest assured that I will inform your fans about what you are busy with right now. I believe that they will also be happy to know that you have a new agent managing you.”

“Haih…” Jiang Yuning suddenly sighed.

“What’s wrong, Sister Yuning?”

“Young paparazzo, I am afraid…you have spent so much time with those girls in the fan club that you are becoming more and more ladylike,” Jiang Yuning teased.

“It is no wonder why you and Brother Ku Jie are siblings.”

Ku Jie had also expressed his concern about this matter a long time ago, but the young paparazzo remained unfazed.

“I have recently made a small fortune. I will treat you to a good meal in a few days’ time,” Jiang Yuning told the young paparazzo.

“Okay then.”

Jiang Yuning did not know that there was a trap set up for her for the shooting of the variety show. What awaited her was a robot suit that weighed several pounds.

In order to get used to the concept of the variety show, Jiang Yuning had watched numerous episodes of the program and she carefully studied the style and rhythm of the entire program. She worked extremely hard and for the past few days, whenever Lu Jingzhi came home, he would see Jiang Yuning standing in front of the mirror as she practiced her expressions and prepared for the show.

Lu Jingzhi’s heart ached to see her working so hard. After she took a shower, Lu Jingzhi walked over to Jiang Yuning and squeezed her cheeks gently.

“Why are you working so hard?”

“Second brother, I am a blacklisted artiste and the public do not know of the many people backing me up. So, what else can I do but to give my best and work hard to prove myself? Furthermore, if the public finds out that I have so many people backing me up behind the scenes, they would only insult and ridicule me more intensely. In fact, I am not the only one working so hard. In the entertainment industry, most of the artistes are also usually anxious when they have a job assignment. They are usually afraid of not performing well and getting criticized if the program receives a negative review because of them.”

“You feel as though I am very busy because I am working so hard to shoot the short ancient videos and practicing so much for the upcoming variety show. However, if you were to compare my schedule to other artistes’, what I have to do is only a fragment of what they have to sacrifice every day. This is because I am not as good or famous as they are.”

“I really hope that Vera has my best interests at heart but for now…” Jiang Yuning shook her head. “The only thing that I can do now is to work hard and give it my best!”

“I have a strong feeling that you will be able to change the perception that the public have of you this time,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he hugged her tightly. “So, you do not have to push yourself so hard, okay?”

“Alright, I will take care of myself. Second brother, I forgot that I have a secret to tell you. I…got rich overnight!”
