Chapter 252 Jiang Zhao wavered
[The director has been found. Instead of wasting your time here, go find someone who can cure you.]
After reading the message, Jiang Xing slumped down, looking up as he felt the raindrops brushing against his face. The icy coldness made him feel utterly hopeless.
His sister seems to genuinely not need any of his help.
The familiar pain returned.
The poison has flared up again.
Jiang Xing hurriedly pulled out the medicine the doctor had prescribed from his pocket, swallowed it with purified water, and the pain that hadn't yet spread was finally contained within his body.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
Jiang Xing stared at the unfamiliar number and answered the call, feeling utterly exhausted.
A violent voice came from over there.
"Jiang Xing?"
Jiang Xing was taken aback. "Who are you?"
The voice on the other end said coldly, "I am Qi Shaoxiong. Were you also poisoned by Jiang Youli?"
Jiang Xing was surprised, "Could it be that you also..."
The other end interrupted: "I won't waste any more time. Do you know how to detoxify?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Only my younger sister, Jiang Youli, can cure this poison."
"In that case, Jiang Xing, I'd like to ask you to come to the Qi family tomorrow night and explain the situation to my grandfather."
Jiang Xing was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"If you still want to get rid of the poison, come to the Qi family tomorrow night at seven o'clock and tell my old man everything you know."
On the other end of the line, Qi Shaoxiong hung up the phone immediately after speaking, not giving Jiang Xing a chance to reply.
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Jiang Xing gripped his phone tightly.
Regardless of Qi Shaoxiong's intentions, this might truly be his chance to detoxify!
……
Next, Jiang Youli spent a whole week adapting "The Ambition of Qingyun". After repeated revisions and polishing, she finally wrote a script that she was very satisfied with.
She looked at the final version of the script on the table, let out a long sigh, stretched comfortably, and then sent the file to her secretary, Xiao Yang.
After the file was successfully sent, Jiang Youli picked up the phone and was about to dial her secretary Xiao Yang's number to ask her to come to her office when there was a knock on the office door.
"President Jiang," came the voice of Secretary Xiao Yang.
"Come in." Jiang Youli looked up at her secretary, Xiao Yang, and instructed, "Secretary Yang, the script has been adapted and sent to you. Arrange for the script to be submitted to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television immediately today, and be sure to complete the project approval process as soon as possible."
Secretary Xiao Yang said happily, "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll take care of it right away."
However, she did not leave the office immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and continued, "President Jiang, there is one more thing... Jiang Zhao is here again. He is waiting for you in the waiting room now."
Jiang Youli frowned slightly and said decisively, "Let him wait, ignore him."
After receiving the instructions, Secretary Xiao Yang quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I understand."
Then, Xiao Yang remembered something else and asked, "President Jiang, I have completed the recording you asked me to arrange, as you requested. When do you plan to record it?"
If she had previously questioned President Jiang's abilities, after this series of events, Secretary Xiao Yang now has complete faith in Jiang Youli's talent!
Perhaps, President Jiang really can write a song that's even more popular than Jiang Zhao's!
Jiang Youli was so busy that she almost forgot about it, but thankfully Secretary Yang remembered it for her.
One thing after another.
Jiang Youli leaned back in her office chair and rubbed her nose. "We'll be recording this Friday."
These past two days, she's focused on writing and releasing a song, since the next step is to wait for the "Ambition to Soar" project to be approved.
……
Jiang Zhao waited in the waiting room all morning. Although Jiang Youli did not come to see him, he did not complain at all. When he saw Jiang Youli walking through the corridor outside at noon, he immediately got up and went out.
"Xiao Li."
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Youli paused, glanced at him sideways, and said in a tone devoid of any emotion, "Jiang Zhao, you are still a contracted singer with Starlight Entertainment. In the company, you should call me President Jiang."
Jiang Zhao nodded quickly, "President Jiang."
"what's up?"
Jiang Zhao excitedly took out the melody he had composed, "I wrote a song recently. Didn't you say you were going to release a song? See if you want to use this one..."
Jiang Youli interrupted him before he could finish, saying, "No need."
Jiang Zhao pinched the sheet music between his fingers.
Jiang Youli ignored the resentment in his eyes. "I gave you a chance to terminate the contract back then, but you didn't seize that opportunity. So before the contract expires, you should just sit quietly on the sidelines in the company. After the contract expires, you can release the songs you write however you want."
After saying that, Jiang Youli strode away from the company.
Jiang Zhao stood in the corridor for a long time before finally leaving Starlight Entertainment feeling dejected.
At this moment, a female employee who hadn't left work yet said to her male colleague at the next workstation, "I think President Jiang's handling of the Jiang Zhao matter was somewhat inappropriate."
"How so?" the male colleague asked.
"Jiang Zhao is so talented, it's such a waste to put him on the sidelines. No matter what personal grudges there are, they shouldn't be brought into the company," the female employee said with a regretful expression.
The male colleague disagreed: "You said yourself that President Jiang and Jiang Zhao have a personal grudge. If I were President Jiang, I wouldn't spend any of the company's resources to promote Jiang Zhao. Now that Jiang Zhao has a little fame, he's already using his fans to put pressure on President Jiang. If Jiang Zhao really becomes a big star, his dark history will probably be completely whitewashed, and President Jiang and the company will probably be cyberbullied by Jiang Zhao's fans."
“But the company is in dire need of manpower right now. Isn’t President Jiang forcing people to be handed over to our rival, Dafeng Entertainment…” The female employee still couldn’t understand.
"If Jiang Zhao chooses Dafeng Entertainment, doesn't that just prove that Jiang Zhao is a trustworthy person and that we shouldn't waste time and resources promoting him?" the male colleague analyzed incisively.
The female employee was speechless.
After a moment, she was speechless: "Why are you so protective of this new General Manager Jiang?"
The male colleague was speechless and said, "I'm not defending anyone, I'm just telling the truth. Besides, she's the one paying our salaries now."
Female employee: “…”
……
Jiang Zhao went downstairs listlessly. Just as he reached the car parked on the side of the road, a Honda Accord pulled up next to him. The window rolled down, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
"Jiang Zhao."
Jiang Zhao turned his head and recognized the person in front of him as Zheng Zegang, the former business manager of Starlight Entertainment.
He frowned and ignored Zheng Zegang.
Zheng Zegang got out of the car and laughed, "Jiang Zhao, judging from your appearance, you've been heartbroken again by your sister Jiang Youli, haven't you?"
"None of your business!" Jiang Zhao glared at him fiercely.
Zheng Zegang said, "Why bother, Jiang Zhao, young master Jiang? If you ask me, whether it's a relationship between men and women or a relationship between siblings, there's only one way to deal with women: you must be stronger than them! That's how you conquer them! Wagging your tail and begging won't work; it will only make them look down on you more."
Seeing that Jiang Zhao's expression was softening, Zheng Zegang continued, "If you become more powerful than your sister, once she discovers that she has gained huge benefits from you, you won't even need to look for her; she'll be eager to make up with you on her own."
Jiang Zhao clenched his fist. "What exactly are you trying to say?!"
Zheng Zegang snatched the sheet music from his hand. "If he doesn't promote you, Dafeng Entertainment will. Jiang Zhao, you're so talented, you should strike while the iron is hot, instead of burying yourself at Xingguang Entertainment. The entertainment industry changes too fast. If you disappear for half a year or a year, you'll soon be replaced by newcomers."
"By then, you, who have no reputation whatsoever, can forget about getting your sister Jiang Youli's forgiveness."
"Come to Dafeng Entertainment, and we will definitely make you a groundbreaking figure in the music industry, the most dazzling new star. At that time, how could your sister possibly ignore you?"
At this point, Zheng Zegang looked at the sheet music and shook his head regretfully, "It's such a pity... really, if such a good song isn't properly promoted and is instead shelved and buried, it's a real waste of talent. If we just promote you, you could definitely become the number one in the music industry in less than two years!"
These words made Jiang Zhao waver somewhat.
Yes, if he achieves nothing, his sister will only look down on him more and more. Only by becoming strong can he earn his sister's respect!
