After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.
Chapter 13 Deep Friendship
After reporting the situation and obtaining Ye Yifan's consent, Jian Mengru discussed lunchtime with Ye Sanqing and Zheng Jingming.
As Ye Sanqing listened to their explanations, he mentally guided the little insect to refer to the relevant information, asking questions whenever he encountered anything he didn't understand. Things progressed quite quickly. By the time everyone got up to prepare for dinner, most of the detailed rules had been drafted; the rest would need to be finalized after some implementation.
After the meal, Zheng Jingming took his leave first, while Jian Mengru stayed behind to discuss some details of daily life with Ye Sanqing.
The first thing to deal with is hiring an artist assistant, but this can't be rushed; the studio needs to be established before signing anyone. Jian Mengru took just as many notes as usual today. After finishing her notes, she put down her tablet and said, "I will get people to refer others and also mobilize headhunters to find suitable people. I hope to find talent who can start working as soon as possible."
Ye Sanqing agreed. "Furthermore, I need to find a place to train and a place to learn martial arts." His physical strength absolutely needs to be improved; it's urgent!
"If you're looking to exercise, I can recommend a suitable fitness coach. However, the gym in the community's own club is also reliable. What do you think?"
"I probably won't be living here often in the future," Ye Sanqing said, then added after a moment's thought, "Speaking of which, do you have any suitable houses you could recommend, the kind I could buy?"
Jian Mengru pulled up the information on her tablet, thinking to herself that it was good she had prepared. "I don't know what type you prefer, but here are some properties you can take a look at. Most of them offer discounts. I suggest choosing an apartment in the city center with better road conditions. The studio will also be located nearby, so it will be more convenient. There are also quite a few entertainment venues nearby." She wasn't entirely sure about the last sentence, because Ye Sanqing didn't seem to frequent entertainment venues. But regardless of whether the other party needed it or not, providing the complete information was her job.
Ye Sanqing took the tablet and swiped the screen left and right to look at it.
【Wait a minute, is the house really that expensive?】 Ye Sanqing was quite satisfied when he saw a large five-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, but was shocked when he saw the price.
"150,000 per square meter... and this apartment isn't small either, so the total price is 50 million." Xiaochong said, "I really didn't expect the price difference between housing and average income here to be so large."
"Looks like I can't afford it for now." Ye Sanqing calculated his money and realized he didn't even have enough for a fraction of the cost. Looks like he'll have to work harder to earn more!
[But do we really need this much space?] Little Bug noticed Ye Sanqing staring at the small villa with the garden, seemingly more satisfied with it. The price was several times that of the larger apartments in front of it. If it could faint, it would too. Although it knew His Majesty wouldn't be comfortable in such a cramped place, money really was a tough nut to crack right now!
[Sigh, even though Ye Wanyin is such a nuisance at home, at least it's free. I'll go ask my older sister and second brother for advice on how to make money.]
Jian Mengru seemed to notice Ye Sanqing's silence and considerately suggested, "There are some high-end apartments that are also suitable for rent. You can consider those first. The main thing is that the security of the community should be good. After all, you are a celebrity and need to pay attention to your privacy and personal safety."
Jian Mengru found it strange that Ye Wanyin had an apartment outside, seemingly as an eighteenth birthday present. Sigh, Ye Sanqing didn't grow up in the Ye family; let alone missing out on family ties, just thinking about the money she missed out on made her feel sorry for him.
"So, it seems that gyms and similar facilities should also be chosen for their privacy and proximity to residence? Let's discuss this further after I confirm my address." Ye Sanqing looked at the rent price of 100,000 yuan a month and was somewhat speechless. She was short of money! She would be staying at home for a while. It seemed she could only exercise without equipment or use the home gym for now; at least in the villa complex, she could go for a run in the morning. She had noticed a jogging area yesterday.
The two chatted for a few more minutes and decided to take advantage of the remaining time that afternoon to go out and buy clothes and make an appointment with a stylist. Originally, Jian Mengru recommended having dresses delivered to their home for selection, and that a stylist could also come to their home for a makeup trial. However, Ye Sanqing was curious to see what the shopping places were like, so she suggested that they go out to buy the clothes instead, and Jian Mengru naturally agreed.
Before leaving, Ye Sanqing stopped by the surveillance room to copy the morning's footage and sent it to Jiang Wendong. She also instructed Xiaochong to make a backup of yesterday afternoon's footage. She didn't know why she copied it; perhaps it was out of a gut feeling of danger.
*
Ye Wanyin peeked out from the third floor and, finding no one in the living room, quietly went downstairs to return to her own home.
She had just been led into the room, and after Uncle Chen and the others left, she sat up and quickly began removing her makeup. She felt something was wrong; perhaps because she was angry and upset, the red and swollen areas on her face that she had covered with foundation seemed to have broken out in pimples.
After washing her face, she noticed a very noticeable pimple on her face.
Ye Wanyin was so angry that she wanted to sweep everything off the dressing table, but when she raised her hand, she remembered the penalty for breach of contract and calmed down.
Jiang Wendong is really hard to talk to. She originally thought she could fool him into agreeing. It seems that trick didn't work. No, it must be that Jiang Wendong never really cared about her in the first place, otherwise why would he have agreed so readily when she mentioned terminating the contract? He must have wanted to get rid of her for a long time! Today's lateness must also be part of his plan. How hateful!
She picked up her phone and contacted some friends who might recommend lawyers to her. She was only fortunate that the contract she signed was very close to that of an amateur agent, and that the other party seemed to be giving her a lenient offer because of the Ye family.
We must hold onto the Ye family tightly! No matter what, she will never leave this house, even if it means death.
Ye Sanqing absolutely has to be driven away! This family can't function without her! Ye Wanyin thought bitterly. Once the variety show starts, she'll expose Ye Sanqing's ugly true colors! No… maybe she doesn't need to wait for the variety show? Making her lose face at the family reunion banquet doesn't seem so bad?
Ye Wanyin thought for a moment and then sent a message to her close friends' group chat. She was so shocked by her second brother's Weibo post yesterday that she didn't have time to think about how to deal with Ye Sanqing. In addition, she didn't dare to do anything before the contract was signed. Now that the contract is signed, Ye Sanqing probably won't cause any trouble. She should make plans while there are still a few days left.
So she first took a picture of the red and swollen part of her face, cleverly avoiding the pimples, and added a filter to make the redness and swelling look more serious. She then sent it to her group of girlfriends and sent a voice message in a tearful voice, saying, "Sisters, I'm so sad..." She also sent a picture of the red and swollen part to Ye Siqing.
Soon, three or five people in the group reacted, asking her what happened, whether it was an allergic reaction or someone else did it.
After everyone had spoken, she hesitated for a long time before reluctantly saying, "I won't blame my sister. I know she's angry with me, but I can endure this pain if it makes her happy..."
The people in this group are all Ye Wanyin's close friends. Ye Wanyin often presents herself as someone who is unassuming and unassuming, and she is also very generous in treating people to meals and giving them gifts, which is how she maintains this group of people.
So everyone naturally condemned Ye Sanqing with righteous indignation. Ye Wanyin, seeing the tone of their accusations, secretly rejoiced. "Hmph, Ye Sanqing, with so many people supporting me, let's see how you fight me!"
【Don't be afraid, Wanwan, we'll stand up for you. How about we go to your house now and talk to her?】 This message was sent by Hua Duoduo, whose family is considered middle-class wealthy in the city. She has been spoiled by her family since she was a child and has never encountered anything really serious, so she now has a fearless attitude.
Hua Duoduo was the one with the best family background in the group besides Ye Wanyin, so when the others heard her speak, they all echoed her.
"Duoduo, I really envy you. You have your family's support for whatever you want to do. I'm different... My sister is not someone to be trifled with, and I don't want you to get into trouble because of me..." Ye Wanyin said, feeling wronged. But she knew very well that the more she refused, the more persistent the other party would become. Whether it was a man or a best friend, it was the same.
"Wanwan, don't be sad over someone like that!" Hua Duoduo said angrily. "I refuse to believe we can't reason with her! Don't worry, we're just talking to her rationally, we won't do anything to her. So, is she home now?"
I'm not sure, my sister never tells me when she goes out... but she'll definitely attend the family reunion banquet this weekend. Maybe if you arrive a little early you can see her?
【See you this weekend! Come on, let's go have afternoon tea and go shopping now, leaving all the bad people behind!】 Hua Duoduo obviously had an invitation, but she overlooked the fact that her sisters, whose family conditions were not as good as theirs, did not receive one.
"Wait a minute, shall we go too?" someone in the group who didn't have an invitation said.
"Don't worry, you are my guests. Come along when you arrive. I'll meet you at the door," Ye Wanyin said hurriedly. She hoped that as many people as possible would embarrass Ye Sanqing.
"But I have no clothes to wear." This person was quite self-righteous. This person was named An Yueyuan. She was a delinquent in school. In high school, she was recruited by Ye Wanyin because of her fighting skills. Whenever Ye Wanyin had trouble in high school, she was the one who solved it. Later, she dropped out of school and has been hanging around in the underworld ever since. She is currently unemployed. Because they have known each other for a long time, she didn't speak to Ye Wanyin very politely.
Ye Wanyin was a little annoyed and cursed, "Does my dog have to ask me for clothes?" She originally wanted to send the money directly, but then she thought about the penalty fee and felt a little pained. She cleared her throat and continued to say in the group with a wronged voice, "I'm sorry, Yueyuan, because my sister is back, I may have to return all the money my family gave me... I'm really having some difficulties right now..." As she spoke, her voice became tearful.
"Hey, it's nothing! I'll pay for shopping today," Hua Duoduo said. She didn't mind the small amount of money; what's a little act of standing up for her best friend?
【Then you guys go ahead, I still have my injury on my face and need to go to the hospital. I'll treat everyone to afternoon tea~】 Although Ye Wanyin felt the pinch, she knew she had to save face, so she sent a red envelope containing several thousand yuan in the group.
Everyone showered Wanwan with praise, saying things like "Wanwan is so generous," and then they arranged a time and place to go out together.
*
Ye Wanyin and Jian Mengru arrived at the place where they bought the dress.
Jian Mengru introduced, "This is also a shopping mall under the Nightfall Group. The floor for formal dresses is on the eighth floor. This way, Ms. Ye." As she spoke, she took out her VIP card and gestured to the service staff who came over to greet her.
Guided by the staff, the two women took the VIP elevator up to the eighth floor, where two rows of people stood before them. Upon seeing them, they bowed and said, "Welcome, Miss Ye!"
"...When I was emperor, my occasional shopping sprees were about the same. Just with fewer guards," Ye Sanqing thought speechlessly.
[You can also hire bodyguards now, they're like bodyguards.] Little Bug reminded me.
There's no need for that...
To everyone's surprise, Jian Mengru's lips twitched as well. Who arranged this? She had only informed them that Miss Ye was coming to shop, without mentioning any special requests. What was with this air of welcoming a leader?
For now, she could only pretend not to see it. She calmly said to Ye Sanqing, "Miss Ye, we have all kinds of dresses and brands here. You can try them all on. Besides the ones you need right now, you can also have a few custom-made for backup if you see something suitable. If you have time after we're done here, you can also visit the designer brand studios next door and choose one you like for long-term cooperation." She was naturally considering Ye Sanqing's future needs as a celebrity.
Ye Sanqing was very satisfied with the efficient arrangement. She and Jian Mengru arrived at the lounge, where Jian Mengru said, "If Miss San doesn't want to try them on herself, there are mannequins here for trying on clothes. You can call them over now." At the same time, a staff member handed over a tablet, so they could select their clothes first and then have them delivered to them.
"No need for that, it's better if I try them on myself." Some of the dresses here were similar to those she had worn before, but some were new to her, and she was curious to see how she would look in them. Thinking about the budget, she added, "Let's filter them down to around 500,000 first, I'll look at those first."
So Ye Sanqing was picking out clothes here, unaware that she had been seen by the gossiping bastard when she came in.
[Family members, I saw Shin-chan! His aura is so powerful!]
No picture, no truth
[Hilarious! The Ye family, you dare to take photos secretly?]
Where did you see this? Can we go and bump into each other?
[At Star Plaza, let me make this clear first, you're unlikely to bump into each other. I saw her take the VIP elevator with Ye Da's assistant, but I don't know which floor they went to.]
Why does Ye San have to personally stroll through this street?
Maybe they're new here and want to go shopping?
【I also have VIP membership, can I go?】
[Stop messing around, didn't you hear me? Ye Da's assistant is here too, I'm emphasizing it again, Ye Da's assistant!!!] The bystander, fearing these people would enjoy the drama, added three exclamation marks.
[Hey bro, you'd better calm down. You'll be in trouble if this gets reported to Ye Da.]
What's wrong with you guys? Why do you all think I'd do bad things? Am I that kind of person? Can't I just bump into someone by chance?
What you said seems to make some sense.
[Runtu's Fork: I guess it's on the dress floor, any brave souls want to go check it out?]
[Wait a minute, Ye Wanyin's girlfriends are here too.] Just as the gossipy rascal was about to advise them not to cause trouble, he caught a glimpse of several people walking in through the door. He recognized Hua Duoduo, who was leading the group, so he quickly typed a message.
[Shouldn't we go right away? I predict something's about to happen.]
I'll be there soon; I'm having tea next to Starlight.
【…Don’t cause trouble, safety comes first for us as we enjoy the show】The gossip-loving rascal scratched his head, wanting to watch the excitement but not wanting his friends to do anything stupid. After thinking about it, he decided to follow Hua Duoduo and the others first.
