Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 448 - 440 Transformation (Part 3)

"Of course you can," Sister Hong responded to her, then asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Let’s talk when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Anning said to the taxi driver, "Take me to Jiahao Media."

Sister Hong had always introduced her to group performance and body double work. She managed things at Jiahao and had previously told her that Jiahao’s famous director was impressed with her potential and wanted to sign her.

At that time, she was with the Ji Family and could only refuse.

Latter, Sister Hong told her that if she ever wanted to sign a contract and become a formal artist, she could come to her at any time.

"Okay!"

Jiahao was actually not a big film and television company, it was in the mid-startup stage. For those aspiring to join the entertainment industry, the first consideration was usually ’Jinming’ under the Qi Family.

Of course, Jinming had a high threshold which wasn’t easy to cross, but there were also many other entertainment companies more famous than Jiahao.

In Hai City, this was only a branch of Jiahao; their headquarters was in Capital City.

In the lobby, there were promotional posters of a certain artist’s tour concert and the upcoming productions of Jiahao.

"Anning, you’re here."

The moment Ji Anning stepped through the front door, Sister Hong greeted her with a slight smile. The woman in her thirties, dressed in business attire and wearing a Jiahao work badge, looked very capable.

"Sister Hong."

With her father waiting for money to save his life, Ji Anning hurried towards Sister Hong.

Seeing how anxious she was, Sister Hong asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"

Ji Anning didn’t answer her but asked urgently, "Can I sign the contract today? Can I take the advance payment?"

Sister Hong said, "If you have an emergency and don’t need much, I can lend it to you first. We can proceed with the signing according to the process, there’s no rush."

"Thank you, Sister Hong," Ji Anning grasped Sister Hong’s hand, her gratitude beyond words.

Although she knew that Sister Hong wasn’t lending her the money for nothing but to sign her to their company, she was desperate, and it felt like timely help amidst the snowfall.

For her father’s medical expenses, Ji Anning knew she had tens of thousands of yuan. If she borrowed one hundred thousand from Sister Hong, she could pay this month’s fees.

She exhaled a sigh of relief.

Sister Hong gave her a thick stack of contracts, instructing her to take them home to read carefully and to sign only after she was sure.

"Anning, what are you looking at?"

Fearing there might be traps in the contract, Ji Anning was reading carefully and didn’t notice someone had arrived.

As Jin Yuanyuan came to her dormitory to visit every night, the door wasn’t locked. After knocking twice with no response, Yuanyuan pushed the door open and entered.

"A contract," Ji Anning replied to Jin Yuanyuan without looking up.

"Contract?" Yuanyuan walked over to Ji Anning, scanned the stack of contracts in front of her with surprise, and asked, "Are you entering the entertainment industry?"

"Don’t tell anyone," Ji Anning looked up seriously at Jin Yuanyuan, "Only you know about this."

She was planning to tell her even if she hadn’t come.

Because she felt that she needed a friend more than ever, someone she could open up to.

She wasn’t sure if her intuition was correct, but she felt that Jin Yuanyuan was trustworthy.

"Mhm, I won’t say anything," Yuanyuan nodded, still very surprised, "Why are you suddenly wanting to enter the entertainment industry?"

"For a living," Ji Anning said with a smile.

The feeling she conveyed to Jin Yuanyuan was one of powerlessness, bitterness.

"Did something happen?"
