Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

At the dinner table, Xu Linlang saw Jing Ci, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. As time went by, he looked more and more like that person. Xu Linlang stared at his face for a moment in a daze.

"Miss Xu, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Jing Ci. How have you been?"

"Very good, President Jiang has protected us very well."

"That's good."

Jing Ci came with the crew today, just to say hello. He didn't eat at the same table as the siblings. Xu Linlang also just greeted him and didn't mention him again. After dinner, he chatted with Jiang You about his work and then prepared to go back. They wouldn't talk about the twins outside, worried that the walls might overhear them.

Before leaving, Jiang You went to the private room where the film crew next door was having dinner: "Jing Ci, I'm going back now, want a ride?"

"I'll take advantage of this." Jing Ci stood up and greeted the director, "Director, I'll head back now. I won't be participating in the second scene."

"Okay, you can go back now."

Jing Ci hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jiang You at the door, and said, "I'm a little unsure about the scene tomorrow. Could the actor I'm acting opposite rehearse with me again? We're going the same way, so we can just rehearse in the car."

The actress opposite her tried to stand up, but someone next to her tugged at her clothes, making her awkwardly unable to stand.

"I also feel a little unsure, and I'd like to rehearse the lines again," the actress said resolutely, pulling her clothes out with a bit of force.

Jiang You raised an eyebrow at the situation: "Director Fang, Jing Ci has high standards for himself, please understand."

No one present was a fool; Jiang You's words implied support for his artist to take the actress out of the drinking party.

The director laughed heartily: "Good thing, good thing, go ahead. It's a good thing that the two leads have high standards for acting."

The actress's expression brightened, and she dodged the staff's attempts to stop her, grabbed her bag, and followed Jing Ci out of the private room. The others at the dinner table were either envious or unhappy.

Xu Linlang glanced at the situation, nodded to Jing Ci, got into her own car driven by the bodyguard, and drove off first.

Jing Ci's nanny van followed behind. In Jiang You's car, the bodyguard was driving, Jiang You was in the passenger seat, and Jing Ci and the actress were in the back.

"What's going on? Is there a problem with the second match?" Jiang You asked, turning around.

"Maybe, I haven't been there." Jing Ci shook his head and said. Everyone in the industry knows who his boss is, and no one would force him to attend social events he doesn't want to go to.

The actress gave a wry smile: "Thank you, Jing Ci. The second event is a bit...dirty. Actors, regardless of gender, will suffer some losses if they go. This kind of drinking culture is prevalent in my agency. I don't want to go, but I have to. There are important people going to this second event today. If I go, I'm afraid..."

What's frightening is that, apart from Jing Ci, who has powerful connections, and myself, who was unwilling, everyone else present was there voluntarily, even volunteering, because this could be a ladder to heaven.

"It's okay. I only suggested it because I saw you really didn't want to go. I wouldn't want to ruin someone else's plans," Jing Ci comforted her.

The actress shook her head: "I might be replaced. Filming has only just started, so it's easy to change the lead actress. They'll even throw dirty water on me and say it's my fault that I'm being replaced."

Ignoring her assistant's attempts to stop her, she insisted on leaving with Jing Ci, knowing full well the ending: she would have a very difficult time in this industry. She had finally managed to land a leading role, but alas...

Jiang You spoke up: "Jing Ci, please talk to the director on my behalf."

"it is good."

The actress forced a smile: "I'll do my best and not let it affect you. It's okay. At worst, I'll be blacklisted. I'll just wait until my contract ends, then I'll retire from the industry. I can make a living doing anything."

Many people in the industry envy the artists who can sign with Jiangyou's company. Although they also have to work according to the schedule of their management team, they can refuse drinking parties, and their bosses protect them.

After dropping the actress off at home, Jiang You asked Jing Ci, "Is this person worth signing?"

"I'm not very familiar with her; we only met during this filming. She works very hard on set and strives for excellence in her acting. I admire her, so I'll save her this time."

"Hmm, let me do a background check first." Jiang You doesn't sign people casually; his background checks are very strict. But once someone passes the background check, it's practically like having a long-term meal ticket in the entertainment industry. The company's team is very professional.

The conversation ended there.

In the car ahead, Xu Linlang was on the phone with Zhou Yucheng, discussing matters concerning the technology company. After hanging up, she made another call to Liu Qian, who was still abroad, and learned that they had quietly sidelined the general manager and Uncle Xu.

"Very good. Don't alert them yet. Wait for my move. Once I have absolute control, I will fire the general manager immediately."

"OK."

Grandpa Xu's health is unpredictable, but his energy is indeed limited, and he rarely comes to the company anymore. Xu Linlang has frequent conflicts with Xu Yongrui and Xu Cong. In terms of work ability, the father and son are no match for Xu Linlang even when they are together. With the help of Xu Xintong and the interference from the second grandfather, Xu Linlang has subtly suppressed Xu Yongrui and his son.

Xu Yongrui attempted to get his other illegitimate son into a job at Xu's company, but failed due to Xu Linlang's opposition.

Five years later, Xu Linlang was 35 years old.

Mr. Xu has been staying in the hospital for the past six months.

In the hospital's intensive care unit, Mr. Xu, who had been ill for a long time, suddenly looked radiant and even sat up.

Xu Xintong's heart tightened. This was a last gasp before death. She immediately called Xu Yongrui, but no one answered after several attempts.

Xu Linlang appeared at the hospital carrying soup: "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Xu Xintong was already in tears without realizing it: "Your grandfather, he suddenly became very energetic and even called a lawyer himself."

A final burst of energy before death?

Xu Linlang pushed open the ward door and met the bright-eyed old man's gaze: "Grandpa, would you like some soup?"

"Linlang, Grandpa is dying."

Xu Linlang didn't reply, but silently poured a bowl of soup and stirred it gently with a spoon.

"In the past few years, have you been able to assist your father in successfully managing the Xu family business?" the old man asked.

"Grandpa, you know perfectly well that my father is not a qualified successor. He has ruined your life's work. Don't you feel heartbroken?"

"But he is my only son."

"I am also of the Xu family bloodline. You know perfectly well that I am more suitable than him."

"You're a girl, you're destined to marry someone from outside the family."

"Grandpa, I will not remarry, and the children I have will have the surname Xu."

"you,"

"Grandpa, Huanan Technology is mine. It started overseas and developed domestically. It is a technology company that will surpass the Xu family."

"What? You're a tech upstart? But I checked the company's shareholders and leadership team," she suddenly paused, "You're wary of the Xu family? Even your uncle knows?"
