Earlier when Yun Meiyi had woken up in the morning, she had heard the doorbell ring. Opening the door, she was greeted by no other but a woman who claimed to be the manager of Liu Si Si.
Although Yun Meiyi was the founder of Feathering Heights, she has never gotten too engrossed in its business to know the people who were involved in it. So, she also failed to recognize the woman who came looking for Liu Si Si.
But after she proved herself to be what she said, she allowed her in. Cheng Juan wanted to meet Liu Si Si straight but Yun Meiyi forbade her, which almost made the manager scowl at her. Still, Yun Meiyi remained all nonchalant to her.
Making her wait, Yun Meiyi waited until the clock struck the perfect time before she finally went to wake the girl up. She knew after the jet lag and heavy dinner like last night, Liu Si Si needed a good and comfortable sleep, so she didn't let anyone interrupt her. And by the time, she also studied the manager's attitude that didn't please her in any way.
When Liu Si Si saw Cheng Juan, her brows jutted as she scowled to ask, "What are you doing here? Didn't I say I am not coming back?"
"Liu Si Si, I wasn't able to reach you over the calls, so in the end, I have to come here. What do you think you are doing? You are not a child to pull tantrums like this. You better come with me, otherwise, I will make sure that you don't have the reputation to ever step out." Cheng Juan arrogantly threatened and at her words like that Yun Meiyi was quite impressed.
Her brows quirked up as she turned to look at Liu Si Si. And seeing her not at all surprised by her words, she could tell that this might not be the first time when her girl would have received a warning like this. It might have been regular, otherwise, there seemed no other reason to make the girl get all used to these threats.
Liu Si Si pursed her lips but then shrugging her shoulders, she blatantly said, "Do whatever you want, I am not coming with you anywhere. Even if you threaten to kill me, I would just say kill me and then take my dead body to make those crazy commitments to be fulfilled. Because I am not going with you anywhere in my living form."
"Si Si, how dare you talk back to me like that? Have you forgotten that I am your manager and it's because of me that you are standing at this peak in your career? How can you gather your courage to stand this ungrateful in front of me?" Chen Juan said in a domineering tone and Liu Si Si just rolled her eyes at her attitude.
"There is no need to gather courage. Your ugly face and deeds are enough to tell me the attitude I should follow while talking to you. And what great heights have I reached because of you? As far as I remember every script you bring for me is not reliable, it's always my acting skills and the support of my fans that bring me to success. Otherwise, with you, I would have been kicked out from the industry a way before." Liu Si Si said and her words were enough to test the small patience Chen Juan had come here with.
"You …" Opening her mouth, the manager was about to lash out but before she could even speak anything, Liu Si Si snapped to say in a sterner tone.
"You can leave, Chen Juan. I do not like the smell of you in my house. Gosh, I need to buy some good and fragrant air fresheners now."
"Si Si, don't test my patience. I said come with me otherwise, I am going to reach the higher-ups and let them know how arrogant you have become with just a few successes you have got. Then you know what they will do. They would cut out your resources and you would have nothing." Through gritted teeth Cheng Juan said and her words suddenly reminded Si Si about something.
Higher-ups! Exactly! Why should she fear the higher-ups when she would have the Big Boss's thigh to cling upon?
As that thought stuck Liu Si Si's thoughts, her lips pressed to suppress her crafty smile as she turned to look at Yun Meiyi, blinking her puppy eyes.
Yun Meiyi looked at the girl and she could clearly see her puppy tail wagging to gain her favor. Internally shaking her head at her, she asked, "What? Is there something I could help with?"
Liu Si Si would have nodded at the very instance, but right at that moment, Cheng Juan spoke with a hubristic voice. "Who are you to meddle in this? Do you think you can help her? This is something related to Feathering Heights and I am her boss there. She would have to do what I say to her. And no one can help her in this."
She said, and Yun Meiyi really felt that these days people are getting more and more audacious in keeping delusions. Boss? From when did the manager of an artiste start becoming their boss?
Keeping her haughty words at bay, Yun Meiyi stared at Liu S Si and raised her brows at her. Her expression was asking the girl if she wanted something, she could say and she would decide if she wanted to give it to her or not.
Liu Si Si also ignored the manager and nodded to Yun Meiyi. Then sprinting towards the direction where Yun Meiyi was sitting, she went to coax her friend to help her out. "Yi Yi, you are my friend, right? Please help me, I don't want to leave now. I want to stay here and act in good dramas and movies. I want to stay by your side now. Also, I don't want this ugly woman as my manager anymore. Help me change her as well."
