Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Unabashed Coveting of Her Husband
Sure enough, Zhuang Yunge’s words immediately ignited Jiang Kelan: "Oh my God, is there really such a thing??
Does Bai Haoxue still care about her reputation? Why does she always like to take advantage of opportunities? I used to be very close with Brother Jinyan, but because of Bai Haoxue’s opportunism, Brother Jinyan is now distant from me..."
"There’s nothing that can be done. A woman’s beauty is her capital to attract men."
"Heh... All she has now is her looks." Jiang Kelan said, "You wouldn’t believe how pathetic she’s been recently. Her company produced two dramas, and most of the money came from penalties enforced on dismissed artists.
Moreover, all the actors she found were ones who don’t have a platform, newcomers, washed-up, aged—clearly money-losing deals."
"You insiders understand the circle’s happenings better than I do. I’m just an outsider." Zhuang Yunge said, "But since you grew up as neighbors, tell me about her, I want to know more about her."
Know your enemy and yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.
Zhuang Yunge listened patiently as Jiang Kelan divulged numerous details about Bai Haoxue.
Even minor trivialities didn’t cause her to show any impatience; she listened very attentively.
...
Bai Haoxue returned to the hotel, but neither Ji Hanyu nor Li Mingmo had come back yet.
Bai Haoxue decided to go find Zhuang Yunge herself.
After all, the costumes for the crew were urgently needed.
She obtained Zhuang Yunge’s phone number from Lin Zhan, and immediately called her for a meeting.
Zhuang Yunge gladly agreed to meet and gave her an address—Mandu Cafe.
Lin Zhan drove Bai Haoxue to Mandu Cafe.
Just as she arrived downstairs at Mandu Cafe, Bai Haoxue noticed Jiang Kelan coming down from upstairs.
Jiang Kelan was in G City too?
Could it be that the filming location for "Suying’s Story" was also chosen in G City?
Bai Haoxue harbored some doubts, but promptly went upstairs.
Seeing Bai Haoxue approaching, Zhuang Yunge warmly greeted her, "Miss Bai, over here."
Bai Haoxue smiled as she sat down, "Miss Zhuang, actually I would prefer if you called me Mrs. Ji."
"..." Zhuang Yunge’s expression changed slightly, then she awkwardly smiled and said, "I think, since Mr. Ji hasn’t chosen to go public, he must have his concerns, so..."
Those words were quite divisive.
However, Bai Haoxue praised her, "Miss Zhuang, you’re truly understanding. No wonder people secretly call you ’Trouble Solver’!"
"People? Secretly?"
Bai Haoxue said calmly, "You’ve been collaborating with my husband recently, I heard about you from him, so I got curious and asked a few more questions.
Then I found out what an amazing person Miss Zhuang is!"
"Mr. Ji talked about me? He said I’m amazing?!" Zhuang Yunge looked at Bai Haoxue very excitedly.
"..." Bai Haoxue sneered, clearly she didn’t hide her covetousness for her husband.
"My husband mentioned that you’re quick to do business." Bai Haoxue said deliberately to make her uncomfortable, "He said that when you signed the contract with him today, you didn’t even bother to look at it!"
Turned out it was about this, Zhuang Yunge was a bit disappointed, but still responded gracefully, "That’s because Mr. Ji has a great reputation in the industry."
"Miss Zhuang’s reputation in the industry is also excellent." Bai Haoxue shifted the topic, going straight to the point, "I have an urgent business deal, and I figured someone as reputable and understanding as Miss Zhuang would lend a helping hand."
