She definitely couldnât bring a cat along when she was recording a program.
Song Qingyou could only temporarily hand Zhizhi over to Chen Lan.
Chen Lan carried the cat bag. âQuickly put it in.â
Song Qingyou poked the cat on the chair.
âZhizhi might not be able to see me for a few days. Will he miss me?â
Chen Lan was speechless. âDonât worry. Cats donât have such thoughts. Do you think youâre raising a dog?â
âZhizhi is different.â Song Qingyou snorted. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy? It has four legs and two eyes. Is it unique?â
Chen Lan pushed the cat carrier closer and urged, âHurry up! Donât waste time! Director Wei will rush you later.â
âDoes Zhizhi not like to stay in the cat carrier?â Song Qingyou asked, stroking the catâs ears.
âYouâre thinking too much.â Chen Lan said, âYou donât usually hold it, but itâs fine in the cat bag.â
âThen he canât bear to part with me. Look-â
Song Qingyou was halfway through her sentence when the warm and soft touch on her hand disappeared.
When she looked up again, her cat had already jumped into the cat bag of its own accord. It did not miss her at all.
At the same time, he gave her a condescending and cold look.
Song Qingyou was speechless.
âHeh.â Chen Lan sneered. âIt seems like youâre too clingy with Zhizhi. Itâs getting annoyed by you.â
âCanât you just say that heâs obedient and sensible? He knows that he canât interfere with my earning.â
âYes, yes, yes. Whatever CEO Song says, it will beâ¦â
Before Chen Lan could finish her sentence, an argument broke out not far away.
The two of them looked at each other.
Song Qingyou stood up. â1 think itâs Sister Yingnan. Iâll go take a look.â
Zhao Yingnan had just arrived at the filming location. She had probably encountered some trouble.
Two people and a cat approached quietly. The nanny van blocked their view and prevented them from being seen.
âZhao Yingnan! What kind of attitude is this? Youâre starting to put on airs in front of your mother now that youâre famous, arenât you?â
A mean-looking middle-aged woman was pointing at Zhao Yingnanâs nose and shouting.
Zhao Yingnan took a step back. She was a little scared. â1 didnât. Mom, lower your voice. Someone will hear youâ¦â
âNo? If not, why did you ask your assistant to chase me away just now? And keep my voice down? Are you disgusted that Iâm embarrassing you as a mother?â
âZhao Yingnan, I think youâve grown wings!â
The woman cursed.
She even spoke in a dialect that they didnât understand. Judging from her tone, it shouldnât be anything good.
âIt seems like itâs a family matter. Itâs none of our business,â Chen Lan muttered softly.
Song Qingyou was about to say that she was right when she heard the woman shout, âDidnât you film a movie recently? I donât believe that you donât have tens of millions in your pocket! Being a celebrity is so profitable, why are you so stingy?â
âWe donât want to take the money to eat and drink. We wanted to treat your brother!â
Zhao Yingnan whispered, âBut I really donât have that much money⦠Didnât you ask me for money when I was filming the movie? I canât just leave no money behindâ¦â
Artistes usually needed money. Clothes, jewelry, makeup, and skincare all needed money.
The woman rolled her eyes and interrupted her.
âWhatâs there to keep? Look, arenât you going to be on TV again? You must have money this time, right? Quickly transfer the money over, or 1 wonât leave!â
Zhao Yingnan bit her lip, looking like she was in a dilemma.
âHow much did Director Wei pay her for her appearance?â Song Qingyou asked softly.
âOnly 300,000.â
Usually, an artist who entered the top loo would have an appearance fee of at least a million.
âAnd she agreed?â Song Qingyou was surprised.
âI heard from Director Wei that Zhao Yingnan rejected the other jobs because of you.â
Chen Lan had a good impression of Zhao Yingnan.
At least the other party was someone who knew how to repay kindness.
Song Qingyou nodded and suddenly took two steps forward, appearing in the field of vision of Zhao Yingnan and the others.
âSister Yingnan, the program is about to start recording.â
âThe director said that if you donât go over now, you donât have to come anymore!â
Zhao Yingnan looked at her mother in front of her cautiously.
The latter glared at her angrily. âWhy are you looking at me? Hurry up and go!
If you lose your job, youâll be in trouble!â
âIâll come and look for you after you finish filming the show!â
After the woman finished speaking, she snorted at Song Qingyou. Obviously, she was treating her as a staff member because of the âSister Yingnanâ!
Zhao Yingnan breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes. When she looked up again, she smiled at Song Qingyou.
âLetâs go! Didnât you say that youâre going to record a show?â
âItâs not even seven oâclock yet. Thereâs still half an hour.â
Zhao Yingnan was stunned for a moment. Then, she said, âYou heard everythingâ¦â
Chen Lan took the cat bag and left early.
Zhao Yingnanâs assistant also followed.
Only the two of them were left there.
Song Qingyou pulled out a tissue from her pocket and handed it over.
Zhao Yingnan touched the corner of her eyes. âThank you.â
âI became a celebrity because of my mother. My brother is sick and needs moneyâ¦â
âYou told me.â Song Qingyou still remembered their conversation on the island.
âShe came to ask me for money just now.â Zhao Yingnan smiled bitterly. âIâm sorry. I made a fool out of myself.â
âYou earned the money,â Song Qingyou shook her head. âYou can choose to give it to her or not.â
âHow can it be that simple? They are my family after allâ¦â
Zhao Yingnan bit her lip. âYou probably donât know? Yingnan is âYing Nanâ, Ying as in Ying, and âNanâ as in male.â
âDad and Mom finally had my little brother, but in the end⦠Actually, I know that my parents are biased, but I canât just leave them aloneâ¦â
Song Qingyou listened quietly and didnât say anything.
Zhao Yingnan was willing to be imprisoned. Between their family, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. As an outsider, she really couldnât say anything.
At this moment, Zhao Yingnanâs cell phone rang.
âLet me take this call first.â
Song Qingyou nodded.
Zhao Yingnan covered her phone and quickly walked away.
But Song Qingyou still heard the voice on the other end of the phone.
âMiss Zhao, when are you free this month? CEO Wu said that youâve finished filming your movie and should come over to accompany him to a few cocktail parties. When the time comes, you must wear the set of clothes that CEO Wu bought for you last time.â
It sounded like CEO Wuâs assistant was contacting Zhao Yingnan.
Seeing the latter agree without hesitation, Song Qingyou had mixed feelings.
It was no wonder that Zhao Yingnanâs timid character could still rank among the A-list artistes this yearâ¦
Although she didnât think that she would look down on her or forcefully dissuade her, she couldnât just watch.
So when Zhao Yingnan came back, Song Qingyou said something else, âOnce you fall into a quagmire, it will be difficult to get out again.â
Zhao Yingnanâs face turned pale. She clenched her fists nervously and then loosened them. â1 know.â
Song Qingyou didnât look at her. âIf you want to jump ship, you can come to my place.â
Job-hopping? Did she think that she was coerced by the company?
Zhao Yingnan looked at the person walking in front of her. The morning sun shone on the other person, as if she was shining.
She suddenly remembered that Song Qingyou was the same as her, entering the industry for the money to treat her family memberâs illness.
They were the same, so Song Qingyou wouldnât mind her.
âThank you.â Zhao Yingnanâs clenched hand suddenly loosened.
Song Qingyou looked back at her and thought she had thought it through, so she smiled back..
