Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 681: She Actually Snatched It Away?!

Shao Changqing was completely in awe of Jiang Li, and after his admiration, he was filled with shame.

"Miss Jiang, you have helped me so much, yet I still doubted whether you would abandon this film..."

Jiang Li showed her magnanimity once again.

"It’s okay, it’s normal for you to think that way, especially since there isn’t a black-and-white contract between us; it’s all based on mutual trust."

"Don’t worry, I’ve said it many times, I believe in your film, and I won’t ignore it."

Shao Changqing was so moved he was almost in tears.

During his toughest times, it had been Jiang Li who had offered her help.

And when nobody else believed in him, she had been persistent in affirming him.

This kindness, he feared, he could never repay even if he were to serve her like an ox or horse in this lifetime.

"Miss Jiang, with your words, I can rest completely assured. I will definitely make ’Doomsday Beehive’ a success and not disappoint you!"

"Good, now that the finances are temporarily stable, let’s improve the other filming processes too. Let’s meet next week to properly review the procedures, and it’s about time I bring Jiang Yan over to you since he’s been absent for so long."

"Okay, Miss Jiang, I’ll follow your arrangements."

...

...

After returning from Dragon Ridge Island, Su Yinwan clearly felt that things were going badly for her.

First, she received news that Shang Shaojing, who was said to possess incredible fortune, had gone bankrupt.

Then, one after another, several of her endorsements terminated their collaborations with her.

Even the magazine shoot that had been agreed upon for today had to be canceled.

"Why?" Su Yinwan rarely lost her temper with her own team. "Hasn’t ME always worked exclusively with me? Every issue, I shoot their material, so why cancel suddenly this time?"

Xiao Xueyi, albeit a bit impatient, could only gently console her, "Perhaps they want to change styles? You can take this opportunity to rest up for a few days."

She couldn’t rest at all.

She had participated in the ’Wilderness Survival’ show and came back empty-handed, missing lots of other appointments.

Now her savings were dangerously low, and she had been relying on points to alleviate some of the pressure.

She had been counting on this shoot to earn some money, but now, that too had blown over!

"Did you not arrange things well and upset them?" Su Yinwan sternly questioned the people in the office. "Call their director now and set up an appointment. I won’t believe they will refuse."

The faces of those around her changed, and Xiao Xueyi took the opportunity to step forward, this time her tone less gentle than before.

"Yinwan, you must have noticed yourself that your popularity has declined recently; even the few hot topics around you are negative. ME promotes the image of a free-spirited woman, so their decision to not cooperate does have its reasons, and they’ve already found someone else. It’s not good for us to contact them now."

"Found someone else? Who?"

Xiao Xueyi didn’t respond, but an assistant nearby added, "It’s Bai Lu from our company. Recently, her popularity has skyrocketed, frequently trending online, and her Weibo followers have surged to over two million."

"Bai Lu?!"

Su Yinwan was in disbelief.

Was it that Bai Lu who had clung to Jiang Li throughout their time on Dragon Ridge Island?!

Wasn’t she just a small-time eighteenth-tier actress?

Are they now competing with her for resources?!

The more Su Yinwan thought about it, the angrier she became, and she simply threw her bag onto the sofa before storming toward the door.

"I’ll go up and ask President Sun what he means by giving my engagement to someone whose status isn’t even close to mine!"

"Yinwan, calm down. President Sun is very busy today, he’s still in a meeting. Don’t disturb him."

But Su Yinwan didn’t listen at all and shoved the door open, charging out furiously.

Before she got to the elevator, a taunting voice reached her ears.

"Well, well, well, if it isn’t Su the Superstar? Why are you so furious today? I thought a month on that Deserted Island would have tempered your temper."

Hearing this familiar voice, Su Yinwan’s expression changed instantly.

Sure enough, as she turned around, she saw Ye Chu dressed vibrantly and eye-catching, sizing her up.

Su Yinwan sneered, "How can I compare with you, Sister Chu? To deal with Jiang Li, you directly threw your best friend into the fray. Now the situation has turned into her whereabouts being unknown. If I were you, I’d be kneeling at home unable to rise, praying for her safety."

This sarcasm made Ye Chu frown.

Usually, when she had verbal spats with Su Yinwan, the latter would either ignore her or brush her off.

But this time, she actually snapped back.

Did she really think she was as popular as before?

Ye Chu, stepping closer in her high heels, her uplifted eyeliner filled with disdain, confronted her.

"The program was Nina’s own choice, it had nothing to do with me. But as for you, Su Yinwan, instead of using sarcasm against me, shouldn’t you be more concerned about your own situation?"

Saying this, Ye Chu chuckled lightly, feigning concern as she patted her shoulder.

"The merchant’s influence is waning, and your financial backer has fallen. You’d better hook up with someone else while you’re still young and beautiful, before you reach my age, when you can only rely on real ability."

"You!" Su Yinwan was so angry she could hardly speak, about to retort, when the neighboring elevator "dinged" to a stop.

It was a VIP passage exclusively for senior company staff. Considering someone was inside, Su Yinwan had to quickly shut her mouth.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and a person stepped out.

Ye Chu, quick to spot President Sun standing on the outside, hastily greeted him warmly.

Her gaze then shifted to the person behind him, and she couldn’t help but be shocked.

Why was he here?

Su Yinwan was even more startled.

Because the person in the elevator was none other than Gu Yu.

He was dressed in a finely tailored black Tang suit, with subtle dark gold patterns floating on it, accentuating his tall, straight figure.

The standing collar design also made the man’s neck appear longer, his features were inexplicably superior, and his skin, under the luminescence of his white-gold hair, was nearly a cold white. He had a morbidly melancholic beauty, yet it was dissolved by his cold and clear eyes, adding a divine sense to him.

He was untouchable.

Su Yinwan unconsciously thought of the time when he cold-heartedly tied her to a tree, his eyes tinged with mockery, filled with an aloof, chilling aloofness, and cold-bloodedness that made her shiver.

Yet, this terrifying man had a completely different face in front of Jiang Li.

Gentle as the breeze in March, without a hint of chill.

Su Yinwan couldn’t understand what charm this woman had that even the Crown Prince of the Gu Family treated her in such a manner?

When she was clearly the favored daughter of fate in this world!
