Chapter 455: Thank You
Inside the office, Ms. Pan was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed and listening to a song when a knock sounded from outside.
Ms. Pan impatiently shouted, “Come in.”
The office door opened and in walked Guan Meiyi.
“Why are you back again?” Ms. Pan looked at Guan Meiyi with a distasteful look. “I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter what you say. Either you take on the role of a prostitute or leave!”
“I’ll take it,” Guan Meiyi announced with a solemn expression.
‘What did you say?” Ms. Pan was shocked. She strongly suspected herself to have imagined it.
“I said, I will take on the role of the prostitute,” Guan Meiyi once again responded.
Ms. Pan rubbed her eyes, as if confirming that the person before her was indeed Guan Meiyi. Before, wasn’t she dead set on not playing the role? Why is it that with so little effort, her attitude had changed?
Originally Ms. Pan had been convinced that there was no way that Guan Meiyi would play the role of a prostitute. She had arranged this role for her for the sake of casting her away, having been long tired of her.
Her ploy had originally succeeded. Since Guan Meiyi herself had given up on the role, Ms. Pan was prepared to report to the company that Guan Meiyi was no longer responsible for it.
In the end, things didn’t turn out the way she’d hoped.
“Are you sure that you will play the role? This is the role of a prostitute and there is nudity involved. Are you sure?”
“I’m positive!” Guan Meiyi nodded.
Ms. Pan seemed to want to make a final rebuttal. “You won’t reconsider? I’m telling you that after you sign the contract, there is no going back.”
“I won’t regret it!” Guan Meiyi vowed. “Where is the contract? I will sign it immediately.”
Guan Meiyi’s expression made Ms. Pan widen her eyes and she saw that the other woman had already extended her hand for the contract. At this moment, she couldn’t not give it.
Therefore, Ms. Pan bitterly handed over the contract, unsatisfactorily giving Guan Meiyi a final warning, “I’m telling you, after you sign the contract, there is no going back.”
Guan Meiyi did not respond to Ms. Pan. Instead, she got a pen and signed her name.
Ms. Pan, seeing that the deed was done, didn’t say anything. After all, the contract had already taken effect. If, at the time, Guan Meiyi said that she could no longer play the role, then it would be considered a breach of contract and her punishment would be much worse.
Thinking this, Ms. Pan took the contract. “Okay, go get ready at home and wait for the notice to become a part of the cast.”
“Okay.” Guan Meiyi gave a slight nod to Ms. Pan and conspicuously left the office.
Ms. Pan was once again tongue-tied. What had happened to Guan Meiyi for her to become enlightened in such a short time?
Guan Meiyi, leaving Ms. Pan’s office, coincidentally saw Ling Tianya coming out of the conference room. Seeing the contract in Guan Meiyi’s hands, Ling Tianya gave a small nod and turned to follow the people of the movies and television department elsewhere.
Guan Meiyi, watching Ling Tianya’s retreating figure, quietly said, “Thank you.”
When they finally left Zhi Ya Entertainment, it was already dinner time. The people of the movies and television department wanted to invite Ling Tianya to eat dinner with them but were rejected by Ling Tianya.
She had recently married into the Ruan Family. It would be better to go home and eat with the elders.
The people of the movies and television department did not say anything to Ling Tianya’s refusal to dinner, but simply smiled as they sent her off.
The problem was finally resolved. Her book Huan Jing will begin filming in three months, which meant that Ling Tianya will have three months to convert her book into a script.
Arriving home, Ling Tianya immediately felt that there was something wrong and she went to Mr. Zhong who informed her that Wang Yazhi had gotten hurt.
