Chapter 704 - 693: The Male Supporting Character’s Bai Yueguang
After showing off the shoes, bags, and clothes, it was time for the jewelry and accessories. Watching those rows of sparkling jewels and diamonds, the head director’s mind was blank, with only one question: Does Ye Entertainment really make so much money? If a second-tier entertainment company is this wealthy, how rich must Hai Shen Entertainment and Bichao Entertainment be, considering they dominate half of the entertainment industry?
Actually, Ye Entertainment wasn’t as rich as the director imagined; the only reason was Mr. Ye’s indulgence towards his only daughter, Ye Qiu. Whatever she wanted, Mr. Ye would provide, regardless of his own loss or the impact on investments. This very approach eventually led to Ye Entertainment’s financial crisis and made it easier for the male lead, Jiang Yao, to bring the company down later on.
"That’s pretty much it," said Ye Qiu, spreading her hands and then batting her eyelashes, "There’s also a makeup room. Do you want to see it?"
The head director eagerly nodded, and so Ye Qiu opened another door. The dressing room and makeup room were connected, and upon opening the door, rows of lipsticks and foundation were revealed.
"I’ll let you in on a secret, I don’t really like to wear makeup in private. These were all acquired by the old man. How about this, after the show airs, I’ll give these lipsticks and foundations away as prizes in a draw!"
"All of these will be given away?" The head director finally couldn’t help exclaiming.
"Let’s give them all away. If I give one set to each person, it wouldn’t be that many people anyway," Ye Qiu said carelessly.
The head director swallowed, thinking she should also share the post when the time comes. Although she herself was not short of money, those lipsticks were not cheap if bought in a set, right?
"Alright, now that you’ve seen my home, what should we do next? It’s getting late, how about we go out for dinner?" Ye Qiu mumbled to herself and then drove to a very upscale-looking restaurant.
She ordered Australian steak with a glass of red wine, looking very posh indeed. Just this meal cost several thousand.
After dinner, the shooting for the day ended, truly showing the production crew how luxurious the life of this great lady, Ye Qiu, usually was. No wonder she’s so arrogant all the time – she has the confidence to back it up!
Even if she didn’t enter the entertainment industry, she could still live freely and carelessly, not having to mind the opinions of others.
Jealous?
Of course, jealous! But who made it so that one couldn’t be as lucky to be born into such a life!
"Sister Hua, the next artist to be filmed is Chu Weiwei, who wants to shoot in her hometown. I heard she comes from the mountains. Are you going too?" Back at the TV station, another sub-director who was filming elsewhere asked Sister Hua, the head director.
"Yes, I’ll follow Chu Weiwei. You follow Li Xingzi. By the way, how did Cao Miaomiao’s shooting go today?"
"Nothing too exciting," said the sub-director, shaking his head regretfully.
Sister Hua comforted him, "It’s okay, it’s only the first episode. It’s normal to be reserved. I’ve got some explosive material from Ye Qiu here; we will see how to edit it."
After the crew left, Ye Qiu, utterly bored, slumped on the sofa. She zoned out for a while before turning around and entering her space.
The skin of this body was a bit rough due to the neglect of its previous owner. As an artist, how could she allow flaws on her body? The next shoot was a week away, just in time for a makeover.
Immersed in the comfortable Spiritual Spring Water, Ye Qiu finally felt as if she had come to life. An hour later, when she came out of the water, her skin had gained much more luster than before.
"Little Jin, aren’t you coming out yet? Can you remember anything after this retreat?" Ye Qiu said to Little Golden Crow, who was enveloped by a huge Spiritual Energy Group.
Little Golden Crow had returned to her side before, and she found it to be quite pleasant to complete tasks one after another, enjoying the sceneries of different worlds and experiencing the diverse cultures and customs.
However, with each world she passed, the more she wanted to figure out who she was, where she really came from. Why did she take on such tasks? Who was the person behind System 001, and how did they possess such powerful ability to travel between worlds?
And those miraculous skills, why could she use them so freely just by choosing them without needing further learning?
"Little Jin, I will take you back with me," Ye Qiu promised softly. As for where ’back’ was, even she was not sure.
After coming out from the space, Ye Qiu temporarily set aside those questions. What she needed to do now was to complete each and every task well.
Since there were no other notices recently, Ye Qiu gave her agent Sister Hong a temporary leave. Sister Hong, worried about her, insisted on checking on Ye Qiu yesterday, and today, with no filming tasks, she listened to Ye Qiu and went home to be with her children at ease.
The next shoot was scheduled for a week later. With nothing to do, Ye Qiu went to the company. She felt that she needed to have a good talk with Chairman Ye Jian Country.
Hearing that his daughter had come to the company, Ye Jian Country immediately set aside his work, smiling without any principles.
"Miaomiao, why did you drive here by yourself? You could have just called for a driver. What if you got tired?" Father Ye Jian Country hurriedly made Ye Qiu sit down, looking at her with a face full of concern, "Did you not eat well again? Why did you lose weight? I’ve told you a thousand times, you don’t need to lose weight like other actresses; it doesn’t look good. Even if you’ve put on weight, it’s fine. Even if you don’t act, dad has enough money to support you."
"Dad!" Ye Qiu said helplessly, "Don’t you feel guilty saying that? Who was it that demanded the actresses under your name couldn’t weigh over a certain limit?"
"They’re using my money and resources, so of course they have to abide by the contract. Miaomiao, you’re different. Why torment yourself?" Ye Jian Country said, taking it for granted.
"Dad, I’m not intentionally dieting; I’m very healthy. Oh, come on, don’t worry," Ye Qiu had no choice but to adopt the same coquettish tone as the original body.
Ye Jian Country was clearly unable to resist and surrendered with both hands up: "Alright, alright, dad knows. Dad won’t force you, but you can’t skip the bi-annual medical check-up."
"No problem," Ye Qiu agreed readily, her eyes darting around as she said, "Now that I’ve agreed to one of your requests, could you agree to one of mine?"
"What do you want? Dad will buy it for you," Ye Jian Country said experiencedly, offering a card, "Just swipe this as much as you want."
"It’s not that," Ye Qiu felt helpless—how could the original owner not be spoiled with such a dad.
"What is it then?" Ye Jian Country became anxious when he realized it wasn’t about spending money on shopping, but then said with revelation, "Is it that you want to act in a movie with Jiang Yao? My company doesn’t have a recent collaboration with Hai Shen Entertainment, but dad heard that Jiang Yao is going to a charity gala in half a month. How about dad gets you an invitation?"
As a father blindly doting on his daughter, Ye Jian Country naturally knew his daughter’s preferences well. However, Jiang Yao was an internationally acclaimed film emperor and owned a share of Hai Shen Entertainment. Hai Shen Entertainment was much stronger than his own Ye Entertainment. He felt somewhat stuck and was filled with guilt. If not for his own incompetence, how would he not be able to fulfill even a small request from his daughter?
