Chapter 1541: Go Ahead and Make Trouble

“Don’t worry, I’ve already assigned my clients to Yu Bing and Lin Yi and explained everything to them. Besides, helping you out isn’t entirely unselfish on my part. Director Chen’s films easily win awards, and having my name on such a project is truly an honor.”

Director Chen is one of the few directors who works in both films and TV series, and every production turns out to be a hit. Aside from being uncooperative during interviews and being a bit too cunning in private, he is admired in every aspect.

This script is very striking, filled with lots of tragic elements. Director Chen is excellent at capturing the atmosphere, and with the addition of elements from the Republic of China era and cheongsams, the film is bound to be a blockbuster once released.

Su Miaotong didn’t hesitate much and diverted a batch of her clients to join this project.

She was honest with Nan Jiaojiao. Besides ambition, there was naturally concern involved, as she had been mentoring Nan Jiaojiao all along.

Nan Jiaojiao smiled serenely, “In the future, Master Su will have to guide me more. I’ll share my thoughts with you, and may our collaboration be smooth.”

Su Miaotong chuckled, “You’re such a sweet talker.”

Since Director Chen specified, and Nan Jiaojiao showcased a bit of her talent, Su Miaotong never underestimated her. She just wasn’t sure about Nan Jiaojiao’s limits; perhaps she really could live up to the title of being specified.

Before finishing work, Nan Jiaojiao sent Bo Yanching a message. Su Miaotong called her to fetch some documents, leaving her no time to check her phone. So, when she exited the company, her expression soured upon seeing Ye Congwen’s car waiting outside.

“Jiaojiao.”

Ye Congwen got out of the car and walked over. “Tonight is the family dinner at the old house. I’m here to take you home.”

Nan Jiaojiao took a step back. “Did Mr. Ye manage to persuade your wife to look at the design drafts?”

“Your mom is there too. Whatever you need, you can discuss in person; it’s better than me being the middleman. Also,” Ye Congwen was displeased with how she addressed him. “I’ve asked you before not to call me that. You’re off work now; calling me ‘Dad’ isn’t too much.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s expression remained calm, “Dad.”

Ye Congwen’s lecture got stuck in his throat. He forced a smile, “Good girl, get in the car.”

He walked ahead, and Nan Jiaojiao followed. She circled around the back of the car, catching a glimpse of Bo Yanching’s car out of the corner of her eye.

Without a flicker of her eyelids, she opened the door and got in. Ye Congwen told her to fasten her seatbelt. She complied, buckled up, and took out her phone to find missed calls from Bo Yanching and a WeChat message asking what she wanted to eat.

She replied, “I’m going back to the Ye Family for dinner. I’ll be back soon.”

Bo Yanching immediately replied, “Weren’t you unwilling to go back to that house?”

“Madam Lin refuses to see me and keeps delaying the progress. I’ll treat it as going to meet a client. If she insists on being difficult, at worst, I’ll just decline this deal.”

The penalty is indeed daunting; that amount is pocket change to Bo Yanching. But Nan Jiaojiao felt it was too much; she hadn’t even earned that much from her job yet.

She’s going to ask Lin Shuyun what she really means, hoping Lin Shuyun will take the initiative to change designers.

Bo Yanching: “Don’t wrong yourself. Go ahead and cause trouble; I’ll clean up after you.”

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re just like the bad uncle who encourages kids to misbehave.”

He confidently retorted, “I’m spoiling my own kid; who cares?”

Ye Congwen always kept an eye on Nan Jiaojiao. Their relationship was distant, and she refused to say a word more than necessary. He couldn’t help but compare her to Shiqing. Even if Shiqing wasn’t his biological daughter, she was sweet and filial, always making them happy.

Thinking that only Nan Jiaojiao would be able to support them in their old age, Ye Congwen felt both troubled and conflicted.
