If you ask Jian Yan who in the circle she feels guilty about, it is Su Ziqi. Su Ziqi is her former agent who gave her countless resources and supported her desperately, but was terminated by her with a single piece of paper.
This world is destined to be unfair. Some people are able to attract everyone's attention just by standing under a light, simple and unpretentious, while others will never be able to make a name for themselves in their entire life.
Jian Yan is the kind of person who glows when standing under a lamp.
Her debut was very smooth. Unlike those young actresses who had to fight hard to get resources, she was selected while still in school. In her junior year, a director came to the school to look for someone. When he saw her who had not yet graduated, he immediately decided to hire her. At that time, she was not asked to act in a TV series, but a movie. How many people in the circle dream of acting in a movie right after her debut? Jian Yan was very lucky. Although she did not play the leading role in her first movie, it made her a little famous. During that time, after becoming famous, Jian Yan was often mentioned by people. The agency and the agent all took the initiative to find her. There were constant announcements and resources were stuffed into her. Jian Yan still remembers that after the agent signed her, he said to his colleagues very happily: "Look what kind of baby I brought!"
That agent was Su Ziqi.
To be fair, Su Ziqi really tried his best to support her, tried hard to find resources, and accompanied her throughout the show. At that time, she also had an artist named Yu Yue, who she passed on to her colleague and focused on training her. Now Yu Yue is quite famous and just won the Magnolia Award last week. People in the circle made fun of Su Ziqi for this matter. He failed to bring out a result, but the one he passed on became the best actress. Every time Su Ziqi posted a blog, Yu Yue's fans would mock her and ask three soul-searching questions: "Does Su Ziqi regret it?" "Did Su Ziqi apologize?" "Have Su Ziqi and Yue Yue reconciled?"
Even when she retired from the entertainment industry, Yu Yue’s fans kept scolding her: “You are such a worthless person!” “You are so young that you have something to show for it?” “You are stealing our Yue Yue’s resources. You deserve to be banned!” “Maybe someone is keeping you. You look like a fairy!” “You are so coquettish. Do you feel good when you steal our Yue Yue’s resources?”
She felt quite comfortable during that time. She married the person she loved most and thought she was about to enter the happiest stage of her life. However, she did not expect it to be a basin of cold water that drenched her from head to toe.
Jian Yan felt extremely guilty towards Su Ziqi, so when she made her comeback this time, she actually didn't plan to contact her. Unexpectedly, she called her first.
Jian Yan moistened her lips: "Sister Su, how are you doing recently?"
Su Ziqi's voice was a little low. She used to love smoking, and Jian Yan had advised her against it several times. Now she heard her hoarse voice from smoking and said, "Same old. I heard from Lao Lin that you've made a comeback?"
Lao Lin was from the previous agency. Jian Yan recommended herself to several agencies this time when she made a comeback, including Lao Lin, so Su Ziqi knew the news.
Jian Yan opened her lips slightly, and the moonlight poured in from the window, shining on her face, which felt a bit hot. She put her hand on her forehead and said, "Yeah."
Su Ziqi asked again: "Have you thought it through this time?"
The burning sensation on Jian Yan's face intensified, and even the tips of her eyebrows were tinged with heat: "I've thought it through."
"Do you want me to take you?"
Jian Yan was slightly startled: "You, are you still willing to take me with you?"
"What's the matter with being willing or not? I'm a free man anyway. If you don't mind, we can meet tomorrow." Su Ziqi didn't have a very good life after Jian Yan retired. She had already offended Yu Yue by giving way to Yu Yue and focusing on supporting Jian Yan. Later, Yu Yue announced that she would change companies when Jian Yan retired, which made the company's top management even more dissatisfied with her. As a result of one or two things accumulating, Su Ziqi was sidelined, resources were not allocated to her, and potential artists were not allowed to be managed by her. She used to have a high reputation in the company, but after losing two artists in a row, she was completely ostracized. Less than a year after Jian Yan retired, she also changed companies and is now responsible for training newcomers in this company. When she heard Lao Lin talking about Jian Yan on the phone tonight, she rekindled the idea of becoming an agent.
From the first moment she saw Jian Yan, she knew that she would come back because she belonged to this stage. Su Ziqi was glad that she did not make a mistake.
At the beginning, she really wanted to make her a big name in the entertainment industry, and she still wants to do so now.
Jian Yan's nose was slightly sour when she heard Su Ziqi's words and she said, "Thank you, Sister Su. See you tomorrow?"
Su Ziqi had no objection: "See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yan couldn't fall asleep. It was as if ten thousand horses were galloping in her mind and her emotions were in a mess. She simply got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she ran into Gu Cai and his girlfriend coming back. They both drank a lot. Jian Yan went back to her room after serving them. She was exhausted both physically and mentally, and didn't have the energy to think about anything else. She fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
She had a bad dream.
The not-so-good thing is that Ji Yunxin was in this dream. She dreamed of the time when she and Ji Yunxin had just gotten married. She stayed at home like a young wife every day, learning various cooking methods on the Internet. Every evening, she prepared dinner and sat on the sofa waiting for that man to come back, but every time she only received a cold text message from him.
- I have a meeting and won't be back.
――On a business trip.
A month later, Ji Yunxin bought an apartment near the company. She went there once. She didn't have the key, so she waited at the door until midnight. When Ji Yunxin finally came back, she just frowned when she saw her, said nothing, and sent her back.
She interpreted the meaning of "coming uninvited" to the fullest extent. When she went there, she was not even qualified to enter.
When Gu Cai found out, he yelled at her angrily, "I've seen people who don't love themselves, but I've never seen such a person who doesn't love themselves. Can you have some self-respect?" Jian Yan opened her eyes, and it seemed as if Gu Cai's roar was still lingering in her ears. She put her hand on her forehead and smiled bitterly. Her self-respect had long been trampled on in front of Ji Yunxin.
She trampled on it herself.
Perhaps because the dream was too depressing, Jian Yan did not get up immediately. She lingered in bed for a while, read a few jokes online, and then sat up. There was a slight movement in the next room, and soon someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Jian Yan."
It was Gu Cai's voice. She asked, "Are you awake? What do you want to eat for breakfast? I'm going downstairs to buy some."
Jian Yan opened the door and saw Gu Cai standing at the door yawning, dressed neatly. She waved her hand: "No need, I'll be out soon."
"So early?" Gu Cai looked at his watch: "Where are you going?"
Jian Yan didn't hide it from her: "Go see Sister Su."
Gu Cai asked casually with a nonchalant attitude, "Which Sister Su?"
Jian Yan replied: "Su Ziqi."
Gu Cai said "oh" and then turned around: "What?"
"Su Ziqi? Why did you meet her?"
Jian Yan thought for a while and briefly recounted what happened last night. Gu Cai knew about their previous relationship. After hearing what Jian Yan said, she smacked her lips and said, "I think you should not forget to buy a set of armor when you go."
"If I were her, I would cut you into pieces!"
At that time, Su Ziqi was also on the rise. He gave up Yu Yue for her, but he didn't expect to bet on the wrong horse. Gu Cai felt that if she were Su Ziqi, she would be so angry that she would die!
Jian Yan shook her head and rolled her eyes at her unhappily: "Sister Su is not that kind of person."
Although she and Su Ziqi had not been together for a long time, the temperament of some people could be seen from the smallest things. Su Ziqi was not the kind of person who held grudges. If that were true, when she made her comeback this time, Su Ziqi would have plenty of opportunities to make things difficult for her, and he would not even need to contact her.
She contacted me, more or less because of our old friendship.
Gu Cai waved his hand: "Whatever, I don't want to persuade you. I'm going out and I won't bring you breakfast."
Jian Yan agreed and went back to her room to wash up. She sent a message to Su Ziqi, asking her where to meet. When she finished washing up, Su Ziqi also sent a message: 9:30, 95 Coffee Shop in the city center, do you know him
The 95 Coffee Shop is a chain store. The one in the city center is quite famous. Jian Yan knew it. She took a taxi directly to the store entrance. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Su Ziqi sitting by the window. After three years, Su Ziqi was thinner than before, with a pointed chin. Jian Yan went in wearing a baseball cap. When she saw Su Ziqi, she took off her cap and shouted, "Sister Su."
Su Ziqi raised his head and looked at her carefully.
The scattered sunlight shines on Jian Yan, giving her a halo. She is wearing seven or eight centimeter orange high heels and a knee-length skirt of the same color. Her legs are long and straight under the skirt, and her skin is white and delicate. The skirt is a waist-hugging style, with a thin strap around her waist, making her waist look even slimmer. She is also wearing a light-colored windbreaker over the skirt, with the collar of the windbreaker standing up, covering half of her delicate face. Her exposed eyes are watery, bright and sparkling, and there is a calmness in her eyes that she never had before. The mole at the corner of her eye also adds a flavor that she never had before.
She looks much more mature than she was three years ago.
Su Ziqi raised his hand: "Sit down, what do you want to drink?"
Jian Yan didn't have breakfast before coming. She was afraid of stomachache if she drank coffee on an empty stomach, so she ordered a glass of milk. Su Ziqi nodded: "An artist's stomach is more important than anything else, and it should be well protected."
Jian Yan lowered her eyes when she heard that. The waiter brought the milk. She slid her hand along the edge of the cup and said softly, "Sister Su, I didn't expect you to still be willing to see me."
Su Ziqi chuckled when he heard her words: "Why wouldn't I be unwilling? I'm not a big shot."
Jian Yan thought of Gu Cai's words, took a sip of milk and asked, "Don't you hate me?"
Su Ziqi raised his eyes to look at her, his expression serious: "Hate you? I'd rather hate myself than hate you. It's my own choice, I can't blame anyone else."
Jian Yan's eyes were slightly red when she heard her say that. If she had not signed with Su Ziqi in the first place, if Su Ziqi had not chosen her but Yu Yue, she would have been the top agent now. But it was all ruined because of her. Although Su Ziqi said it was a personal choice, there was a world of difference between the two. She could not be as calm as Su Ziqi. Jian Yan said with a guilty conscience, "I'm sorry, Sister Su."
"That's enough." Su Ziqi finished his coffee and said, "We'll work together in the future, why are we being so distant? Do you have an agent now?"
Jian Yan suppressed her complicated feelings, shook her head, and said seriously: "No."
Su Ziqi nodded slightly: "I told the higher-ups yesterday that I wanted to take you with me, and they have no objection. If you have no objection, we can start discussing the contract."
Jian Yan took the contract and heard Su Ziqi say, "By the way, I changed companies and now I'm working at Jingyi Media."
Jian Yan's hand trembled, and the contract fell on the table. She looked up quickly and asked in disbelief, "Where is it?"
"Jingyi Media." Su Ziqi frowned when he saw her surprised look: "Don't you know her?"
It's impossible not to know him. Half of the entertainment industry now belongs to Jingyi Media. If Jian Yan wants to make a comeback, hasn't she done this homework
Jian Yan did it and did her homework thoroughly. Not only did she know it, she was also very familiar with it. Jingyi Media is Ji Yunxin's branch company!
So she went around and came back
She is going to join Ji Yunxin’s company now
