After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 156 Children
She scoffed, "What does this have to do with Meng Weiyuan? I'm clearly the one who's smart!"

Jiang Lingyu looked at her with some suspicion. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

You Sijia felt rather uncomfortable under their gaze. Well, Jiang Lingyu guessed correctly. When her subordinates reported that people from Tangcheng Film Industry were contacting artists under her management, You Sijia was angry.

At worst, she could just throw money at Tang Yayi to keep her there; she refused to believe she couldn't outmaneuver her.

Even if we don't steam buns, we still have to prove ourselves!
Later, this incident made her so angry that she was fuming even when she went home for dinner. When Meng Weiyuan asked her about it, she immediately poured out everything to him like beans spilling out.

"Isn't this a good thing?" To everyone's surprise, Meng Weiyuan not only didn't share her indignation, but instead calmly said, "You've been asking people to find new talent recently, which means you're not very satisfied with the artists your company has signed before."

Upon hearing this, You Sijia pondered for a moment and immediately understood Meng Weiyuan's meaning.

She was dissatisfied with the artists who had signed contracts before she took over the company; these were usually for ten-year terms, and she couldn't possibly fire them.

However, the situation is different now. If the artist wants to leave voluntarily, why would she insist on stopping them?
In the following period, she not only did not have anyone stop the artists in the company who wanted to leave, but she also secretly encouraged them to do so.

It's easy to give her a push in secret; all she has to do is spread some rumors within the company that she plans to use new people outside the company for the next few projects.

Those signed artists who were already restless and wanted to leave were naturally even more eager to leave.

"How did you get Tang Yayi to accept so many people all at once?" Jiang Lingyu asked curiously.

Tang Yayi isn't stupid. Why would she pay so much in breach of contract fees to poach a few artists who aren't really that valuable? Isn't that just shooting herself in the foot?

Yusjia chuckled, "She has a few people she really wants, and it seems she's preparing to launch a variety show featuring some actors. Of course, I'm going to agree, but whoever she wants, I can't just take them away so easily. I'll offer her a buy-one-get-two-free deal, letting her get a great bargain!"

Isn't this exactly the kind of bundled sales that luxury store sales associates love to do?

Yu Sijia immediately adopted this approach and applied it to Tang Yayi.

Jiang Lingyu chuckled and gave You Sijia a thumbs up again.

"Tang Yayi is probably going to be furious with you."

Yuska shrugged indifferently, "I'm doing this for her own good. Anyway, she wants people, so I'll just send her a few more."

"Does your company still have any employees?" Jiang Lingyu asked.

Yu Sijia recalled Meng Weiyuan's earlier words and couldn't help but repeat what the latter had said: "Transformation always has a painful period, but it will be fine once you get through this time. There aren't many people now, but there will be more in the future."

It wasn't a secret that she took over Tenglong Film & Television, and there was no deliberate attempt to hide it; many people in the industry knew that she was now the boss of Tenglong.

There are also many rumors circulating outside.

It's just that they don't think highly of her, saying she's a spendthrift, especially compared to the second son, she's just a pretty but useless woman.

Yuska was naturally angry; she had never suffered such humiliation before.

Meng Weiyuan asked her if she needed help. Although the rumors outside were difficult to deal with, Meng Weiyuan would definitely have an effect by using the Meng family's name to exert pressure.

Yustia did not accept.

She doesn't necessarily need a man to achieve success; this time, she's determined to rely solely on herself.

However, You Sijia's strength only lasted a second in front of Jiang Lingyu. The next second, she sat down next to Jiang Lingyu, buried her head in his lap, and whimpered, "Hmph! Wait till I show them how tough I am!" she said through gritted teeth. Jiang Lingyu chuckled and stroked her little ear.

When Meng Weiyuan walked in from outside, this was exactly the scene before him.

He paused, and to be honest, he felt a pang of sadness.

It seems like Yuska has never been this affectionate and coquettish with me.

But if word got out that Meng Weiyuan was jealous of a woman, it would be quite ridiculous.

Yu Sijia was completely unaware that Meng Weiyuan had arrived. Her head was resting on Jiang Lingyu's lap as she looked up at the person in front of her. She raised her hand and pinched Jiang Lingyu's cheek. "You come to see me without even putting on makeup! That's so perfunctory! Jiang Xiaoyu!"

Jiang Lingyu smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, she took You Sijia's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.

Just as You Sijia was about to say "What are you doing?", before she could even utter the words, she suddenly sat up from Jiang Lingyu's arms, staring wide-eyed at the person in front of her as if incredulous. She then placed her hand on Jiang Lingyu's stomach, "No way?"

Yustia looked bewildered and shocked.

Jiang Lingyu smiled and nodded, "It's just as you think."

Yuska stood there, unsure of how to react.

"When?" Yusia looked at Jiang Lingyu's belly with a complicated expression. Even though Jiang Lingyu nodded, she still couldn't quite believe that there was already a baby in the other woman's belly.

Jiang Lingyu frowned and thought for a moment, "It was discovered last week, but it was a minor case, not many people know about it. You're the second one."

"Huh? I'm second?" Yuska seemed dissatisfied.

Jiang Lingyu sighed helplessly, "Xie Yuci was the first to know."

Yustia: "..."

Without a second thought, she knew the child was Xie Yuci's. Being the second person to know, compared to the child's biological father, seemed like a fair assessment.

"So what about you now..." Yusjia hadn't heard anything about Jiang Lingyu dating Xie Yuci.

Jiang Lingyu: "The child was an accident. Now he complains that my apartment is too small and the nanny can't live there..."

Yu Sijia understood the unspoken meaning in Jiang Lingyu's words. Jiang Lingyu was not the kind of person to let herself be wronged. Under such circumstances, she still insisted on living in her apartment. She was just making things difficult for herself. She would not do such a thing.

“That’s fine too.” You Sijia didn’t ask Jiang Lingyu what her plans were for the child. Even if Jiang Lingyu was against marriage, she might not be against having a child with her own blood.

"And you?" Jiang Lingyu abruptly changed the subject.

Yustia: "What?"

"The child!" Jiang Lingyu said matter-of-factly, "This baby in my belly is an accident. You and President Meng have been married for half a year, have you thought about having a child?"

Meng Weiyuan paused again, this was the question he also wanted to know.

He certainly wouldn't pressure Yustia; whether or not to have a child was Yustia's decision. However, he wasn't without hope in his heart.
