Chapter 36
Knocking on His Door
From this, he could conclude that Zhao Fei must have known about Xi Wan’s existence and even asked Jiang Ran to deal with her. Based on what Zhao Fei had said before, she had a good relationship with her best friend, so now that Jiang Ran’s contract had been terminated by the company and she was even in danger of needing to pay compensation, why wouldn’t Zhao Fei choose to ask him for help?
After the two of them finished their meal, Zhao Fei said that she was busy and left.
As soon as she returned to her rented apartment, she saw a girl rushing over from the corner. The girl’s hair was disheveled, and the black bags under her eyes were serious. It was obvious that she had not slept well for a long time.
“Zhao Fei, I only went against Xi Wan because of your words. Now that my contract has been terminated by the company, I have to compensate them with six million yuan! I don’t have that much money, it’s all your fault, you must help me!” Jiang Ran said viciously, looking at Zhao Fei as if she was her enemy.
Zhao Fei looked around. There should be surveillance cameras here, so she opened the door and calmly said, “If there’s anything, let’s talk inside.”
Jiang Ran was ready to risk everything. Seeing Zhao Fei open the door, she walked in.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t tried calling Zhao Fei before, but after her initial tearful complaints, Zhao Fei had directly blocked her.
This made Jiang Ran’s hatred rise through the roof. She hated Xi Wan, and now she also hated Zhao Fei.
In the room, Zhao Fei poured a glass of water for Jiang Ran and said slowly, “If the company asked you to compensate so much, you can go to court and you might not lose. When you’re done with the lawsuit, I’ll arrange other jobs for you. You’re so outstanding, you’ll be successful no matter where you work.”
Zhao Fei immediately praised her, acknowledging Jiang Ran’s value and telling her not to think so badly of the matter. Seeing that Zhao Fei was still as gentle as before, Jiang Ran couldn’t help but wonder if everything that had happened before was just her imagination.
“Then why did you block me? ” she asked, stunned.
Zhao Fei sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I wanted to block you, but when you cried to me, I was in a meeting. The boss found out that I was in contact with you and was afraid that I would affect the company’s image, so he forced me to block you on the spot.
“You also know that it wasn’t easy for me to enter this company, so the only thing I could do was listen to him. After that, the boss seemed to have a grudge against me and made me work overtime every day. That’s why I didn’t have the time to look for you.”
Jiang Ran only believed half of Zhao Fei’s words. As long as she wanted to contact her, how could she not be able to? Zhao Fei must have compromised with her boss and promised not to contact her again.
But after hearing what Zhao Fei said, Jiang Ran felt a little better. Zhao Fei was only a newbie, so it was normal for her to be afraid of offending her boss.
“Then what do you think I should do? If you don’t solve this for me, I’ll stay here and not leave. When the time comes, I’ll tell Xi Wan that you were the one who got me to do all this! Xi Wan and I were only competitors to begin with. If it wasn’t for your reminder the other day, I wouldn’t have even thought of this,” Jiang Ran said straightforwardly.
Zhao Fei sneered inwardly. When she found out that Xi Wan was the person Ling Feng loved, she immediately thought of her best friend who was filming with. After some investigation, she found out that Jiang Ran and Xi Wan were often compared with each other, so Jiang Ran had a lot of anger towards Xi Wan. At that time, she’d pretended to be nonchalant and said that if the media could film Xi Wan beating someone up in advance, her career would definitely be over.
Jiang Ran had indeed done that, but now she was pushing all the blame onto her. Jiang Ran was the one who didn’t like Xi Wan, but now she couldn’t even take responsibility for her own actions? It was ridiculous.
Zhao Fei despised Jiang Ran, but still said, “Jiang Ran, I only said that the other day because I heard you say that Xi Wan always outshines you with her beauty and that you have no chance to make a name for yourself. Besides, she has a lot of negative news following her already. I didn’t really want you to do those things.”
“Jiang Ran, I’ve been treating you like a sister. You can’t push everything to me. Even now that you’re in trouble and your company has abandoned you, I’m still giving you ideas. After I get through this, my company seems to be interested in investing in the film and television industry. I’ll get you some resources then.”
