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

Chapter 167 A strange combination of circumstances
Upon hearing this, Wei Ning's eyes flickered slightly.

Her causing trouble might have been partly an attempt to use this incident to get Tang Yayi to secure the role in "The Scorching Sun" for herself. After all, she hadn't heard Tang Yayi mention this before.

Making her take the blame in Zhou Qichun's struggle with the company without actually gaining any tangible benefits was something Wei Ning was naturally unwilling to do.

"So, we're just going to let Zhou Qichun's matter drop like that?" Wei Ning asked.

She knew Zhou Qi's true background. What rich second-generation heiress? It was all a persona created by the company.

With Zhou Qichun's family background, he wouldn't even be able to get into the lowest rungs of the second-generation elite circles in Beijing.

However, thanks to his reputation and connections over the years, he is quite successful in the circle of legitimate second-generation rich kids.

She had previously inquired with Ling Yumang and learned that Zhou Qichun had actually been the girlfriend of Jiang Lingyu's second brother, whom she had met at the hot spring resort that day. The Jiang family's status in Nancheng was roughly equivalent to that of the Ling family in Beijing. The fact that Zhou Qichun was able to marry into such a family showed that she was quite capable.

Of course, Tang Yayi couldn't really do anything to Zhou Qichun.

In the past, she wouldn't have minded releasing some of the dirt she had on gossip accounts. But now, the people Zhou Qichun has backed are not people she can easily mess with.

In this situation, it's best to maintain the most basic superficial relationship between the former employer and the artist.

But if Wei Ning were to handle this, things would be different.

Tang Yayi looked at Wei Ning, "Our company has a peaceful termination of the contract with her on the surface. If we were to take action behind the scenes later, it would inevitably give people something to talk about. But if you want to vent your anger, the situation is different. After all, Zhou Qichun actively dragged you into the controversy when she was doing her live stream."

Tang Yayi's words were a veiled encouragement for Wei Ning to take action himself.

Wei Ning doesn't need anyone from the company. Just because she has the Ling family backing her, do you think the Ling family wouldn't stand up for her if they knew she was wronged?

Wei Ning was well aware of Zhou Qichun's background.

When Wei Ning heard Tang Yayi's words, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Both of them had their own agendas and wanted the other to be the one to take the lead.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Wei Ning frowned and said, "After all, I'm a newcomer, and she's a senior colleague in the company."

Tang Yayi: "..."

At a time like this, why is Wei Ning still pretending to be a well-mannered princess in front of me? When she barged into my office just now, didn't she think of me as her boss?!

Tang Yayi thought she was cunning; she would back down whenever she encountered someone even slightly tougher.

Tang Yayi picked up the cup in front of her and said in a calm tone, "Since you think it's okay as it is, of course I have no objection."

This means it's time to see the guests off.

Wei Ning was still holding a grudge after leaving Tang Yayi's office.

Although she has now landed the lead role in "The Scorching Sun," she still remembers how Zhou Qichun used her as a pretext to sue Tang Yayi! Tang Yayi ultimately hasn't agreed to seek justice for her.

The assistant following Wei Ning felt uneasy seeing her artist's angry expression.

The assistant was about to ask Wei Ning if she was going back to the film set, since her boss had a bad temper and had skipped work today to go straight back to the company. She figured the director was probably still yelling at her on set! But what could she do? She couldn't persuade Wei Ning otherwise.

But before the assistant could even ask the question, Wei Ning's voice came down first.

"You wait outside first," Wei Ning said.

As she said this, she got into the van and kicked the driver out as well. Sitting in the car, Wei Ning took out her phone, thought for a moment, and finally called Ling Yumang.

She certainly couldn't back down in front of Tang Yayi, as it would make it seem like Tang Yayi could order her around at will. But she couldn't bring herself to hold back her pride.

Before making the call, Wei Ning was a little nervous.

During the Chinese New Year, she could clearly sense that Ling Yumang had become much colder towards her, no longer indulging her without any limits as before. Even at several private gatherings in Beijing, when Ling Yumang saw her at the old house, he didn't ask her if she wanted to come along.

This made Wei Ning feel a sense of crisis.

She didn't want to incur Ling Yumang's dislike, otherwise, she would truly have nothing left.

Wei Ning had not informed Ling Yumang beforehand about taking a break from school to enter the entertainment industry.

She knew that people in their circle didn't really respect those in the entertainment industry. She was worried that if she told Ling Yumang first, he would disagree, but if she insisted on going her own way, it would only make Ling Yumang dislike her more. So, she decided to act first and inform him later.

Wei Ning didn't expect that his news had probably already reached the ears of the Ling family, but Ling Yumang had not taken the initiative to contact him.

Now that she was about to call Ling Yumang, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Yu Sijia went to the film set during the day. Ever since she listened to Meng Weiyuan's advice and stopped on the path of "doing everything herself", she has had a lot more free time.

In addition, the weather in Beijing was neither too hot nor too cold after May Day, so it wouldn't be a big deal for her to visit the film set and express her appreciation to the cast and crew.

Yu Sijia was about to go straight home from the film set when she received a call from Ling Shuangyue a little after 3 p.m.

Ling Shuangyue asked her if she had time to go out tonight.

She returned to the trial base in the southwest after the start of spring, and recently returned to Beijing with her results, having a few days of free time.

Yustya was free, and readily agreed.

The two arranged to meet at a private Wagyu beef restaurant.

Ling Shuangyue was still as impulsive as ever; when she entered, she was carrying a bottle of wine.

“I smuggled it from my brother’s wine cellar. I heard it was from an auction. Although it’s not exactly a famous brand, it must have some story behind it,” Ling Shuangyue said as she sat down.

Yuska: "That must be something good."

"Haha, that's true!" Ling Shuangyue said with a smile. "By the way, have you been getting close to Zhou Qichun lately? I saw online that Zhou Qichun has a new TV series, and she even brought some newcomers from your company?"

The newcomers at Yusijia Company aren't particularly eye-catching, but Zhou Qichun has recently contributed about 40-50% of Weibo's traffic.

She terminated her contract with her former employer, quickly established her own studio, and then took on a script and joined a production team in a short period of time.

Each of these actions sparked considerable discussion online.

Therefore, many of the supporting roles in Zhou Qichun's new TV series are new faces. When fans dug deeper, they found that these people were actually newcomers signed by Tenglong Film and Television, and they all seemed to be fresh graduates of this year's film and television academy. How could they not be curious?

Zhou Qi didn't bring any people from his former company, but instead brought people from his arch-rival company. No matter how you look at it, there's something fishy going on here.

Yu Sijia didn't know if this could be considered luck, but in any case, the young actors in her company had their first opportunity to appear in public, and the amount of discussion surrounding them was quite high.

　Young lady: I ​​managed to snag a bargain!
