"I originally thought that I might have to spend more than ten years in prison in my life, facing all kinds of prisoners every day, and living like an animal every day." The time to get up, wash, eat, and work were all fixed by the clock. She originally thought that she would have to endure this for the next ten years, but she didn't expect that in the end, the lawyer hired by Jiang Se, after he finished the lawsuit for her, he also communicated with the top management of Jufeng Entertainment to settle the matter, which eventually led to her only serving a few years in prison before she was released.
"I'm calling just to tell you something."
Her voice was a little thin and her tone was a little awkward when she spoke. It was obviously because she had not often chatted with people during the past few years in prison.
Jiang Se thought of the cage that seemed to block out sunlight, and the scene when she saw Dai Jia in prison that year, and then thought of her smiling face when she first met her at the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy. The breath that was about to sigh swirled around her tongue, but she swallowed it back.
"You are free."
"Yeah." Jiang Se's unspoken sigh was sighed out by Dai Jia:
"I am free."
This sentence seemed to have special meaning to her, so her tone gradually became lighter, "I got my ID card, my phone, and everything I had put down. Jiang Se, thank you."
"You don't have to thank me. I said, if you hadn't given me advice back then, we wouldn't have become friends, and naturally there wouldn't have been anything like what happened later." After Jiang Se said this, Dai Jia smiled and asked:
"Are we still friends?"
"Why not?" Jiang Se felt a little strange when she asked this question, so she said:
"You are the only one who still considers me a friend. Everyone else avoids me as much as possible."
Jiang Se thought of her current situation and frowned:
"What are you going to do in the future?"
"I learned a lot in there, and I can always survive." Dai Jia was quite open-minded. It would be difficult for her to survive in this line of work, even though Nie Dan intervened and helped her hire a lawyer, which reduced her guilt and allowed her to be released after only a few years in prison.
But many people don't want to go to a place like the Western Suburbs Women's Prison a second time after having been there once.
Jiang Se recalled the lifeless face of Dai Jia that he saw in prison at that time. She had only been in prison for less than a year, but she had aged a lot.
She was originally a very promising actress with great potential, but she missed the most exciting years. After staying in prison for such a long time, Dai Jia's beauty was probably destroyed and there was not much left.
In her situation, it is difficult for her to find a decent job. If, as she said, she only relies on the skills she learned in prison to make a living, her future life will be bleak.
The two chatted for a few words, and after hanging up the phone, facing Mo Anqi's questioning eyes, Jiang Se simply explained two sentences:
"The girl I met in the Western Suburbs Women's Prison was from the Film and Television Academy. She was kind to me, but later she signed with Jufeng Entertainment and something went wrong."
Xia Chaoqun also knew about this matter. When Jiang Se mentioned it, Xia Chaoqun responded. It was obvious that he was not curious about Dai Jia's affairs.
"Sister Chaoqun, if you say I'm in need of a personal assistant and hire her, will that have any impact?"
Xia Chaoqun glared at her and said, "You are acting on your emotions."
But she didn't say "yes", but she didn't deny it either. Jiang Se knew her attitude.
After she finished talking to Dai Jia, she was about to call Pei Yi's cell phone, but before she could dial the number, Pei Yi called her. He was a little anxious:
"What are you doing, Sese?"
He called several times in the afternoon, but Jiang Se didn't answer. He began to guess that Jiang Se was at work, but when he called again an hour later, she was already on the phone and they talked for nearly half an hour.
"You're always busy on the phone when I call you, which makes me anxious."
Jiang Se couldn't help laughing and explained:
"I have an appointment with Zhang Jing'an this afternoon to discuss work. Ayi," she called Pei Yi in a delicate voice, like honey, with long and slender threads, sweet and somewhat tempting.
Mo Anqi looked through the rearview mirror of the car and saw that her eyes were watery. The red clouds on her cheeks made her look charming and beautiful. When she chatted with Pei Yi, she was different from when she chatted with others. She even leaned against the back of the car seat unconsciously, softened her body, and seemed defenseless.
"I might sign a contract with Zhang Jing'an for his new film." She started to feel excited after sharing this with Pei Yi:
"Do you still remember? It was the year we signed the contract with Century Galaxy. We were in the cafe next to the company. You mentioned that Zhang Jing'an had planned a movie and designated Tao Cen as the female lead."
Of course he remembered. He kept every single thing about her in mind. He quickly responded:
"Is that the time that Cha Jufeng Entertainment mentioned?"
"Yeah!" Jiang Se was obviously a little excited after getting a response from him. She was about to speak again, but when she saw Mo Anqi in the rearview mirror looking like she was enjoying a good show, she remembered the tone she used when talking to Pei Yi before, and felt a little embarrassed. She sat up straight and said, "I'll tell you after we sign the contract later."
She planned to call him again after she got back, but she was a little curious about why he called her so many times:
"You called me several times. What's the matter?"
"Sese, the people from Hong Kong China informed me that they found a diamond suitable for couple rings."
Pei Yi's tone became louder, and it was obvious that he was very excited about the news:
"Their people will deliver the diamonds to the capital next week. I have also applied for leave and will be back to accompany you tomorrow."
As soon as he mentioned the ring, Jiang Se couldn't help but think of the marriage proposal she had agreed to. She reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear and bit her lip.
Agreeing to Pei Yi's proposal was an impulsive act at that time, but now that she has calmed down, Jiang Se does not feel any regret, and even feels a little bit of anticipation.
The importance he attached to this matter was far beyond Jiang Se's imagination. He mentioned the style of the ring, and even though he didn't explain it clearly on the phone, it did not affect Jiang Se's good mood.
"After we decide on the design, urge them. Sese, when we get the ring, I will put it on your hand myself."
She lowered her head and smiled, and agreed softly:
"good."
After chatting with Pei Yi for a while, Jiang Se hung up the phone and Mo Anqi first sent her to the body care center, and then sent Xia Chaoqun back to the company.
Today, Jiang Se and Zhang Jing'an's meeting requires Xia Chaoqun to report back to the company. (To be continued)
