The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1288 - 1301: Queen of the Entertainment Industry (12)
The assistant really wanted to grab Xu Jinzhi’s hand and shout: The Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years, and now there’s gender equality.
No, even if the Qing Dynasty were still around, it valued men, not women.
Did Xu Jinzhi get the gender wrong, huh?
Meanwhile, Luo Jian, who had been sent away by Xu Jinzhi, got into his nanny van. His face immediately darkened, cold as frost, with a look that told anyone alive to stay away, making his assistant shiver in fear.
He’s not an idiot; how could he not see through Xu Jinzhi’s plan?
She’s just tired of him, getting in the way of her developing relationships with other men, just like he did in the past.
Two fierce and intense flames of jealousy burned in Luo Jian’s eyes.
But knowing is one thing, admitting he’s just a shameless person, unwilling to let go of Xu Jinzhi? That’s another.
Though it’s true, he would never admit it, so he shifted all the blame onto Su Li.
If Su Li had cooperated obediently at that time, there wouldn’t be so many worries now.
Besides, later on, wouldn’t there be benefits? Just a little from between his fingers would be enough to make Su Li, a second-tier star, overjoyed.
She’s simply clueless, and now she’s landed in this situation; she brought this upon herself, can’t blame anyone else.
However, Luo Jian soon stopped worrying, a deep malice appeared at the corner of his mouth.
According to past experiences, all the little and big flowers appearing alongside Xu Jinzhi were inevitably overshadowed by her brilliance, reduced to nothing.
Thinking this way, Luo Jian felt much relieved.
The assistant nearby carefully leaned in and asked, "Are we still waiting here for Sister Xu to finish her schedule?"
Luo Jian coldly shook his head, saying, "Let’s go back first."
He took a deep look out the car window and urged, "Drive."
Since Jinzhi doesn’t like his clinginess, he’ll grant her wish.
The rumbling sound of the car engine rang out, and Luo Jian suddenly told the assistant, "Check how Su Li is doing now."
His love life wasn’t smooth, and he felt a fire raging inside; if it didn’t get released, Luo Jian felt he would explode.
Apparently, Xu Jinzhi was on the same page, arranging an opportunity for Luo Jian to vent his frustration.
She wasn’t overconfident, but with her Emperor Huai-level skills, she would reduce others to rats in the ditch.
Su Li was still unaware she was being targeted by an insidious weirdo.
These people were quite interesting, focusing only on her to exploit, not afraid of wearing her out.

After some time, Su Li received a call from Sister Xia, feeling very surprised.
On the phone, Sister Xia’s voice was so high-pitched with excitement, she kept talking non-stop, even happier than Su Li, the person involved.
Su Li raised a brow, "You mean the company is renewing my contract and giving me a good opportunity? Why would they do that?"
No reason, if it’s not theft or deception, there’s no free lunch in the world.
Judging from the original owner’s economic company’s tendency to quickly clear her in times of trouble, they wouldn’t kindly support their artist employees.
Sister Xia: "Doesn’t matter what they think, you have to agree; this is Director Yu’s show."
"I’ve looked into it; for this episode you’re participating in, Director Yu is planning a variety show focused on a floral poetry gathering. Even if you perform mediocrely, based on the usual show results, you’ll likely gain a lot of fans...."
"Ancient culture revival is trending; Director Yu’s show hits the taste of many audiences, no need to say. With Director Yu’s name, the show is bound to be a hit."
Sister Xia spoke endlessly, never considering the possibility of refusal from her listener.
Anyone with brains knows it’s a rare opportunity; regardless if there’s another agenda, it’s not one to miss.
Yet, some people just don’t think so.....
Sister Xia was talking excitedly, "Alright, I’ll prepare suitable attire, heard all guests must wear hanfu formally for the show....."
Suddenly, Sister Xia stopped, thinking her ears had deceived her; she heard Su Li refusing.
How is that possible.....
Why not?
Su Li casually replied, "Not going."
"Ah, what did you say?" Sister Xia rubbed her ears, feeling her age affecting her hearing.
Su Li repeated, "Not going."
Sister Xia was baffled, "Such a good opportunity...."
Before Sister Xia could persuade her, Su Li interrupted, "My contract expired a few days ago, I don’t plan to renew it, and I don’t want to rush around for gigs anymore."
Su Li just wants to be a relaxed, money-earning couch potato now.
However, sometimes people love to be irritatingly clever.
When she received an invitation from the Taoyuan program, she realized Sister Xia had presumptuously accepted the reality show for her.
Su Li, expressionless, rhythmically tapped the table with her fingers, showing no sign of her true feelings.
Sister Xia, originally hesitant and guilty, quickly shed that timid look, thinking she was fully considerate for the other party.
She sincerely said, "This is your only chance to turn your life around; I did it for you, even knowing you’d be mad, I presumptuously accepted it for you."
"Now, if you want to blame me, go ahead... I just want you to do well."
Hearing this, Su Li’s finger tapping the table suddenly stopped, hovering mid-air, not falling for a long time.
Su Li gave Sister Xia a half-smile, "Look at what you said, I should be thanking you?"
Sister Xia knew this artist under her for years well; Su Li had a good temper, even when angry, she would often consider others’ intentions when speaking to those close to her.
But this time, facing Su Li’s deep gaze, she felt a chill rising from her spine, tensing her whole body, her eyes contracted tightly.
Like the instinctive reaction being watched by a large predator.
This Su Li was just terrifying.
Sister Xia shivered, dismissing the absurd thought, secretly glanced again, Su Li was still the familiar Su Li.
