Chapter 1970: Extra: A Brand New Life 85 (Jiang Yue and Xue Yan) Chapter 1970: Extra: A Brand New Life 85 (Jiang Yue and Xue Yan) The CEO, having heard that Qin Zi had refused the role, couldn’t believe it. There were so many scripts with female leads, and moreover, Xue Corporation had just entered the entertainment industry. This venture was clearly meant to be a major initiative, one that would promote a number of people. Being chosen by them, Qin Zi should have been ecstatic and accepted right away, but he couldn’t make sense of it. Nonetheless, he still called the CEO of their parent company, who was also Mr. Xue.
When Mr. Xue learned that Qin Zi had refused, thinking it might be out of distaste, he was somewhat anxious. He hurriedly called his daughter-in-law, Jiang Yue, to inform her of the situation, hoping she would help him apologize to Qin Zi. After all, the two women were friends, and it’s easier to apologize between women, which would help the matter blow over more smoothly.
Jiang Yue was in the research center, where some researchers had just discovered a problem. She was surrounded by these researchers, trying to resolve the issue. After finally resolving it and having a moment to breathe, she felt her phone vibrate and knew she was getting a call. Jiang Yue quickly removed her gloves and stepped out of the lab in her white coat to answer the phone.
“Dad, what’s up?”
Ever since she married into the Xue family with Xue Yan, she had started calling Mr. Xue “Dad.”
Mr. Xue then explained the situation to her, naturally including the fact that Qin Zi was being boycotted by the Yu clan.
Mr. Xue also mentioned he didn’t know why the Yu clan was targeting Qin Zi, so Jiang Yue didn’t ask further, only saying, “Dad, don’t worry, I’ll apologize to Qin Zi for you. However, I think you might be overthinking it. Qin Zi probably doesn’t have any hard feelings; she just doesn’t want to take on a leading role.”
“I’m in the business world every day, where overthinking is second nature to me, and I’ve become accustomed to bringing it into my personal life. Anyway, whether she’s mad or not, please apologize for me. You two are friends, and she’s visited our home before. I don’t want to make it awkward for you both,” he replied.
“Sure.”
After hanging up with Mr. Xue, Jiang Yue tried calling Qin Zi, but Qin Zi didn’t pick up. Probably busy or didn’t hear the phone.
She decided not to keep calling and planned to try again later.
“Professor, we’ve found another issue!” someone from the lab came out hurriedly, calling for Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue put away her phone and followed them back into the lab.
When she emerged from the lab again, it was three hours later, and she had three missed calls on her phone, all from Qin Zi, one each hour. Clearly, Qin Zi had seen her call and returned it. Jiang Yue quickly called back.
At last, Qin Zi answered.
“What’s up, you called me?” Qin Zi asked first.
Having been friends for quite a while, there was no need for an explanation. Jiang Yue had been busy for the past three hours, so she didn’t inquire and didn’t need to provide an explanation. That was the tacit understanding between friends.
“I heard from my dad that the head of the film company he acquired approached you to be the lead actress, and you refused. My dad worries you might have been offended, so he asked me to apologize to you,” Jiang Yue said.
“What is there to apologize for?” Qin Zi chuckled. “Tell your uncle when you see him that I was not offended. On the contrary, I should thank him. He just acquired a film company and thought of me immediately, which is certainly an acknowledgment of my acting skills. It’s just that I…” She paused, then decided to be upfront. “I don’t want to live too well for myself.”
With the leading role, the paycheck would definitely be higher than before. If by any chance she became a star, life would undoubtedly improve…
Jiang Yue didn’t ask further and simply nodded. But then remembering that Qin Zi couldn’t see her, she softly acknowledged with a, “Hmm.”
“There’s something else,” Jiang Yue added.
“What is it?”
“I’m not sure if you’re aware or not, but my dad heard from the head of the film company that the Yu clan has been trying to boycott you.”
