"Old Yu, Fang Ning really isn't good enough for you. You're so easygoing, and you're even a famous stylist's apprentice. A gold digger like Fang Ning isn't remotely good enough for you, okay?"
"Honestly, who would fall for someone like Fang Ning? What rich person would want her? I think she only said she married a rich man to look good in front of everyone at the company." The jealousy in his colleague's eyes was impossible to hide.
Hearing this, Yu Qin suddenly felt pleased.
Actually, he thought the same thing. Fang Ning had neither brains nor knowledge, only a pretty face and figure. What tycoon, what rich man, would like an empty ornament like her?
If it was true, she might be dumped one day.
If anything,
having him fall for her was already an honor. When a rich man abandoned her someday, perhaps only then would she realize what a mistake she had made by rejecting him.
At that thought, Yu Qin became even more convinced that Fang Ning had made up the story about marrying a rich man.
One day, he would finally expose her true colors.
He would let everyone see how fake and money-grubbing Fang Ning was.
Whatever Yu Qin had thought of, a hint of malice surfaced in his eyes.
"By the way, there's a company gathering tonight. Do you think Fang Ning will come?"
Today was the company's anniversary, and the boss had arranged an evening party. At previous company anniversary celebrations, both veteran actors and younger actors had attended. He wondered whether Fang Ning would attend this time.
If she did, it would be the perfect opportunity to expose her true colors.
He would let everyone see just how fake Fang Ning was.
His colleague said, "Of course she'll be there. Doesn't the company require every artist to attend?"
Hearing that, Yu Qin's eyes darted quickly.
Fang Ning soon arrived at her agent's office. What her agent wanted to discuss wasn't particularly important; it was just a little complicated and difficult to explain over the phone.
A television drama director had already confirmed her for the second female lead, but recently, the daughter of the drama's investor had wanted Fang Ning's role.
The director hoped Fang Ning would agree to switch roles and play the fourth female lead. Of course, the fourth female lead didn't have many scenes, and the character was extremely unlikable. No one really wanted to take the role.
The drama's director hoped Fang Ning would accept their suggestion. Since they were at fault, they would still pay her the fee for the second female lead's scenes.
Of course Fang Ning was willing to accept such a good deal! Double the pay for one person's work-only an idiot would refuse.
After hearing Fang Ning's answer, her agent finally relaxed and brought up another matter. "By the way, do you want to come to the company's anniversary party tonight?"
Everyone was supposed to attend, but after this sudden role change, she felt too embarrassed to demand anything of Fang Ning.
Fang Ning instinctively asked, "A party? Does it cost money? As long as it's free, I'm happy to go."
As long as they didn't charge her, she was willing!
"It's free. Go home and get ready. Wait, right, I almost forgot to ask-what exactly happened with you fighting Zhou Lu and ending up at the police station?
Chapter 21
When her agent heard that Fang Ning had ended up at the police station, she was completely dumbfounded.
Fang Ning had gotten into a fight and ended up at the police station. Her first thought was that it was impossible. She only knew that Fang Ning was a hopeless romantic; she had never heard of her fighting or causing trouble.
The fight itself wasn't a big deal, but it would be troublesome if it led to a lawsuit. Although Fang Ning didn't have many fans, if people with ulterior motives posted a video of the fight and exposed it online, her acting career might end over this.
Besides, who was Zhou Lu? Zhou Lu's fans were notorious in the industry for tearing people apart without caring who was right or wrong. If Fang Ning really went up against Zhou Lu, she would only get berated, and viciously at that.
"Seriously, why did you go and provoke Zhou Lu for no reason? He's an idol, and you're an actress. I've never seen you have any conflict with him before. What on earth were you doing, hitting him and even ending up at the police station?" Sister Qing had no idea what Fang Ning had been thinking.
"Did you have some conflict with him on set? Even if there was a conflict or you didn't get along, you still can't hit people." Sister Qing lectured Fang Ning nonstop. Fang Ning was one of the more promising actresses she had managed, and she didn't want her acting career to end here.
To prevent something like this from happening again, Sister Qing hoped Fang Ning would take her words to heart.
Fang Ning didn't particularly care about work. After all, if she couldn't work in this field, she could do something else.
But seeing how angry her agent was, she thought about how she was the only person who had treated the original owner of this body well.
Fang Ning patiently explained what had happened. It wasn't that she had wanted to fight. If she hadn't been afraid they would hurt Ji Xiangchen badly, she wouldn't have bothered getting involved.
Ji Xiangchen had been beaten so badly, and he was her younger brother-in-law. It really wouldn't have been right to stand by and watch without helping.
After hearing Fang Ning's explanation, her agent immediately stopped saying anything more. If it concerned her husband's family, it wasn't really her place to comment.
Ji Xiangchen was Fang Ning's younger brother-in-law.
Watching her own younger brother-in-law without stepping in to help really wouldn't have been right. After all, her current status was what it was.
"Fine, fine, we'll let this matter go. If something like this happens again, you can actually call the police first instead of foolishly rushing in. He's a grown man; he can take a beating. Can you?"
"By the way, have you gone to the hospital for a checkup? Go get checked when you have time, so nothing goes wrong. Go home and get ready for tonight's company gathering."
"Dress nicely. Don't let other people's actors outshine you. Where would that leave my dignity at my age? The party is at the xx Hotel downtown. The company booked an entire floor, and it starts at eight tonight." Sister Qing had other things to do, so she didn't keep harping on Fang Ning's little matter.
