Title: The Villain's Contract Lover
Translator: Fringe Capybara
Chapter 7 - “Take The Yang Qi For One’s Own Use” (She wanted to appease him, and after HuanYu had gone bankrupt at that.) (2)
Right after breakfast, she received a call from her manager, Sun-jie. “Jiang YueXian will be at the Capital Airport this morning. You go over there, make a round, and take a couple pictures to leech off some of his popularity.”
Jiang YueXian was that award-winning film emperor that she had been trying to pair herself up with.
Xu WanZhi gave her a straightforward answer, “Nah, I don’t think I will be going. I need to look over the script for this afternoon.”
“You are not going? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to find out his itinerary? With your current level, how do you expect to make any money if you don’t leech off of someone else’s popularity?”
Exactly how difficult could it be to find out about someone’s itinerary? Sun-jie’s voice was piercing, so Xu WanZhi moved her phone further from her ear. “I don’t want to fake being a couple with him anymore. It’s such a shameful act.”
“I don’t care if you find it shameful or not. This is an assignment straight from the top. You are doing it whether you want to or not.”
The call was terminated. Xu WanZhi had it figured out; the original owner might be a cannon fodder who was engaged in all sorts of bad dealings, but as far as making herself seem like a couple with Jiang YueXian, that really wasn’t her idea to begin with.
And so, she naturally didn’t go to the airport.
10 AM in the morning. The film emperor’s pictures from the airport were all over the internet and all of his female fans were drooling all over them on Wechat. Among all of them came a very hot topic.
Zhou LiQian: #Welcome back! But how come we didn’t see @Xu WanZhi in this picture? Smile smile smile.#
Under that the comments were a bunch of criticisms.
[Good one!]
[I hadn’t even noticed until LiQian brought it up. The Stinky Queen didn’t strike today.]
[That was so odd. Did Xu WanZhi break her legs today? Was that why she wasn’t there to harass XianXian?]
[LiQian Alliance. HAHAHAHAHA.]
[LiQian, we are begging you to take care of her in the show and not let her come out to harm anyone else!]
Zhou LiQian, the one who posted the hot topic, was the female lead in the web drama “Not Enough Time To Love You” that Xu WanZhi was going to film that afternoon. She was a first-tier girl who has been trending up recently.
Zhou LiQian and the original owner had not been getting along since the beginning of the filming of the show. Using her status as the female lead, Zhou LiQian had been swaggering in front of and walking over the original owner. The original owner wasn’t exactly a pushover either and had her fair share of retaliation. The two of them had been fighting with each other both openly and secretly for the last two or so months.
Take this as an example, Jiang YueXian had just posted on Wechat and Zhou LiQian couldn’t wait to knock on Xu WanZhi.
The film emperor’s girl fans had already been bashing Xu WanZhi daily for trying to leech off of the film emperor’s popularity. With the ignition from Zhou LiQian, everybody had exploded and started talking sh*t about her. Those who were badmouthing her had gone all the way to Xu WanZhi’s own Wechat.
She got bashed if she went to leech off his popularity and she got bashed when she didn’t. Aye!
Xu WanZhi couldn’t be bothered with these minor details; she just turned off her cell phone and started reading the script.
