"After I graduated from college, before I could even start looking for a job, my mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer. To cover the cost of her surgery, our family had already spent a fortune."
"At this critical moment, your mother approached me to be your agent, and the salary she offered me every month was very high."
"But my mother was always worried about my marriage, so she introduced me to my current husband through a matchmaker, and I kept it a secret from him."
"My mother still needs a large amount of money for her medication every month, so I send most of my salary to her, and tell her the rest is what I earn."
"..." Yuli suddenly grabbed Yang Jie's wrist, interrupting her.
"How much more does our mother need for her medication?"
"..." Yang Jie widened her eyes and stared at Yuli, unable to speak for a while.
"Speak up!" Yuli took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Yang Jie. "Take it, the password is six sixes."
"I can't do that." Yang Jie felt the bank card was too hot to handle and refused. "You've already done me a great favor, I can't take your card."
"Yang Jie, you know my family is wealthy, and I have enough pocket money for daily expenses. I didn't enter the entertainment industry to make money, so this money is not of much use to me, but it can save your life!"
"Please take it!" Yuli raised her chin and insisted.
Yang Jie stared at the bank card, tears rolling in her eyes. "Thank you."
"Who's with whom? Don't mention thank you, you're my sister!" Yu Li said with a smile. Yang Jie was really good to her, and it was a genuine hands, and I don't know if it's paint or something else."
"Are they trying to retaliate against me?"
"Ah, this is very common in the entertainment industry." Yang Jie could tell that Yu Li had never heard of it before, after all, the Yu family had protected her well, and how could she have heard of such dirty things.
"I've hired a few bodyguards these days."
"Even if they have the intention to retaliate, no matter how many bodyguards you hire, it won't be useful." Yu Li raised her eyebrows. They took the elevator from the underground garage to the recording studio upstairs. They didn't meet anyone on the way, so it seemed that the security of this building was quite high.
"Yang Jie," as soon as Yang Jie and Yu Li arrived at the director's office, they heard a shout from behind. Looking back, it was the program's executive director, Yu Fei.
"Director Yu, what are you doing?" Yang Jie laughed as she looked at him, "I don't see any flood or beast chasing after you!"
"Yang Jie, I was just looking for you!" Yu Fei said, his gaze falling on Yu Li. "Yu Li, why don't you go to the trainees for a while?"
"Okay, you guys talk." Yu Li could easily tell that the director wanted her to leave, probably because he had something to say that he didn't want to say in front of her.
As soon as Yu Li left, Yu Fei dragged Yang Jie into the office. "I called you several times just now, but I couldn't get through."
"Really?" Yang Jie took out her phone and checked it. It was dead.
"Forget it, just sit down!" Yu Fei waved his hand and pushed all the files on the desk aside. He took out a printed paper from one of the drawers and handed it to Yang Jie.
"Take a look and see if there's anything wrong. If you think it's okay, just sign it!"
"A termination contract?" Yang Jie frowned just by looking at the big words on the paper. "Director Yu, I don't understand what you mean."
"Now, the fans online are leaving messages on the program's official Weibo, asking me to replace Yu Li."
"But we signed a contract in the beginning. If you unilaterally terminate it, you'll have to bear a large amount of compensation," Yang Jie said.
Yu Fei lifted his chin. "Take a look at this termination contract first. The compensation you requested is stated clearly on it, down to the last penny."
Yang Jie simply threw the document in her hand on the table. "Yu Fei, which celebrity doesn't have a few haters? We're all going to be in this industry for a long time. Is it necessary to be so ruthless?"
"The program's official Weibo has received 10 million comments. Can a few haters achieve that?""Yu Fei, you should know how much effort I've put into this program. Please, let me go."
Yu Fei grew more and more agitated as he spoke, curling his fingers and tapping the table lightly. "Otherwise, name your compensation. No matter how much you ask for, as long as it's within my ability, I'll agree."
Yang Jie remained silent. It seemed like signing the termination contract was the only option.
"Yu Fei, I understand how you feel, but the situation is not what you think it is."
"Yan Li got the role purely based on her talent. She acted better than Yu Mo'er."
"I-"
"Stop! Don't say anything else." Yu Fei didn't give Yang Jie a chance to speak, interrupting her directly.
"Now I see it. You're treating me like a three-year-old and trying to deceive me."
How could Yan Li's acting be compared to Yu Mo'er's?
One was a two-time Best Actress winner, while the other was known for being a vase.
"You're really blind!" Yu Fei sneered coldly. "Alright, sign the contract now!"
"If you want me to sign, it's not a problem, but the choreography by Teacher Wen Huan cannot be recorded by the students," Yang Jie's face turned slightly cold. "Also, I hope you won't regret this!"
Yu Fei only wanted to quickly clear up his relationship with Yu Li, and didn't care about anything else. He agreed directly, no matter what Yang Jie said.
In the dressing room.
"Ruo Bing, I just heard from the assistant director that the production team is preparing to replace Yu Li," Yang Liu said casually, completely unaware of the shock in Sun Ruobing's eyes.
"Why?" Sun Ruobing's voice was calm."Why else? The fighting power of Yu Mo'er's fans is unmatched. This incident has already affected the production team, and they must have made this decision for various reasons," Yang Liu said with a completely indifferent attitude.
"Yu Li didn't do anything wrong."
"What did you say, little one!" Yang Liu was startled by Sun Ruobing's words and smiled apologetically at the makeup artist. "Your makeup is already good, so if there's nothing else, you can go back first!"
