Transmigration as a Female Supporting Role Who Attempted Suicide

Chapter 39

While outside, Liu Yi's phone rang. It was the president's number. He immediately stood up, realizing this was the signal for them to enter the office, so he beckoned the two managers to go in with him.

Ji Nian was confused but also followed them in. However, she saw the female lead with an aggrieved expression sitting on the sofa, looking very dissatisfied.

When Shen Shuyao saw the woman coming in, she looked at her resentfully, as if complaining why she had left her alone here earlier.

Ji Nian awkwardly touched her nose, then quietly moved closer and asked, "How did it go? Did everything go smoothly?"

Shen Shuyao's eyes were still aggrieved. She shook her head without saying a word, lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers.

Seeing her appearance, Ji Nian guessed something unpleasant must have happened earlier. What was this book called again? "The CEO's Pampered Sweetheart". As expected, the overbearing CEO must have coerced her to submit.

Liu Yi saw the signed contract on the table and said, "We'll still have to trouble you two to arrange a broker for Miss Shen later."

The two managers immediately responded politely, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, we'll make proper arrangements."

Ye Jingzhan nodded absently, looking at the woman's aggrieved appearance. His heart felt a little blocked. What kind of expression was that? Was she unwilling to accept the good resources he had given her?

Liu Yi turned to the man and asked, "Mr. Ye, what about her living arrangements?"

Ye Jingzhan looked at the woman, then at Liu Yi, and asked, "What kind of places do entertainers usually live in?"

One of the managers quickly answered upon hearing this, "Mr. Ye, the company arranges accommodation for our artists, all in communities with good security."

Ye Jingzhan nodded. He said to Liu Yi, "Isn't there a villa in Pinlan Residence? It's vacant anyway, let Miss Shen move in." After all, as his woman now, he shouldn't be too harsh on her materially.

Upon hearing this, the two managers' eyes widened in disbelief. Pinlan Residence was the most famous villa area in the capital, and most importantly, it was expensive, costing billions per property.

Liu Yi was surprised that she would be given this house to live in, but since it was the boss's order, he would carry it out accordingly, saying, "Then I'll get someone to clean it up today."

Shen Shuyao raised her head in refusal. "I already have a place to live."

Ye Jingzhan raised his eyebrows and smiled. "That run-down place of yours?" he said.

Shen Shuyao was furious inside. This shameless man had not only coerced her earlier but also threatened to use her father's company against her.

Ji Nian felt insulted. What? The place Shen Shuyao was living in was run-down? Wouldn't that make her place not even qualify as run-down? Excuse me, I'll just remove myself from the situation.

"Liu Yi, go take care of it. The moving and everything should be done today," Ye Jingzhan said coldly.

Shen Shuyao still looked annoyed, unable to vent her anger and having to hold it in. She felt more stifled the more she thought about it.

After finishing the arrangements, the two managers left first to attend to other matters. Ye Jingzhan got up to leave as well, and Liu Yi signaled Shen Shuyao to follow them. Ji Nian silently played the background role as usual.

Just as everyone was waiting for the elevator, two people came from the other side, also there to take the elevator.

"Yo, Mr. Ye, what brings you here today?" came a teasing voice.

Hearing this, Ji Nian wondered who it was that dared to talk to the male lead like that. She turned to look and was instantly stunned. "Yu Luobai?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Yu Luobai was taken aback for a moment. Seeing the woman with a mask on, he then recognized her and smiled back in surprise. "Miss Ji? What are you doing here?"

Peng He was also surprised. Seeing Shen Shuyao next to him and the man waiting for the elevator, he respectfully greeted, "Mr. Ye."

Ye Jingzhan glanced at the smiling man in front of him, too lazy to respond to him, and coldly returned the greeting, "I'm here for something today."

Yu Luobai raised his eyebrows, seeing Shen Shuyao standing next to him and Ji Nian as well. He was quite surprised. How did these two women know him? And wasn't he always keeping his distance from women?

"I heard my mother went looking for you again?" Yu Luobai asked with a smile.

Ye Jingzhan felt a headache coming just from thinking about it. He rubbed his temples and said, "Yes."

Yu Luobai's eyes were full of schadenfreude. "Help me fend her off a bit more, I really don't want to go back," he said.

Ye Jingzhan threw him an icy look. Seeing the elevator doors open, he strode right in.

On the contrary, Ji Nian's eyes wandered around. It seemed Yu Luobai was on very good terms with the male lead...

Strange, why wasn't this written in the book? If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have charged money for (The Ordinary Road). She should have just given it to him as a gift to make a good impression!

"How do you happen to know Mr. Ye?" Yu Luobai saw that the man didn't want to talk to him, so he started chatting with Ji Nian instead.

Ji Nian still had her mask on, revealing only her bright, lively eyes. She turned her head and couldn't help but admire Yu Luobai's good looks.

She was just here as a background extra today. She replied, "I came here just to add some seasoning."

Hearing this, even Ye Jingzhan was taken aback for a moment. Add some seasoning?

Ji Nian panicked a little, embarrassed that she had blurted out her true thoughts...

Yu Luobai laughed out loud. "Miss Ji really has a sense of humor."

"Ahaha, just kidding..." Ji Nian said awkwardly, trying to gloss it over. "Um... I came with my friend."

As an entertainer, how could Shen Shuyao not recognize this iconic figure—Yu Luobai, the youngest Best Actor winner ever. She was actually one of his little fans! At this moment, she became extremely nervous.

Hearing Ji Nian's words, Yu Luobai turned to look at the woman beside her and smiled. "Miss Shen, I know you. You've been all over the internet recently."

Shen Shuyao couldn't get any words out. She was too excited to react properly, mechanically nodding her head and saying, "Mr. Yu, hello."

Just then, the elevator dinged to indicate it had arrived at the first floor. Yu Luobai hurried off as he had urgent matters to attend to.

Ji Nian pulled the female lead, who was still spacing out, out of the elevator. Seeing that she hadn't yet recovered, Ji Nian felt puzzled. What kind of blow had the male lead dealt her to leave her in this stunned state until now?

She then saw Shen Shuyao instantly become agitated. Gripping Ji Nian's arm excitedly, she exclaimed, "Xiao Nian, that was Yu Luobai! Yu Luobai earlier! He talked to me!"

Ji Nian was confused. She nodded and said, "Yes, it was Yu Luobai."

"Oh my god, it was my first time seeing him in person. Just now, just now I couldn't get any words out!" Shen Shuyao said, filled with regret. She should have talked more to her idol earlier.

Ji Nian was shocked. Could this female lead be...a fan of Yu Luobai?

"Huh? You're a fan of Yu Luobai?" Ji Nian asked.

Shen Shuyao excitedly nodded. "Yes, I've been his fan for years! I'm an old fan. Just now I should've asked for his autograph. Xiao Nian, how do you know Yu Luobai?"

"I..." Ji Nian hadn't even replied when she saw the male lead's figure stiffen.

Ye Jingzhan halted his steps and arched an eyebrow. He hadn't expected this woman who had appeared so timid earlier to now be so excited, and all because of Yu Luobai?

"Miss Shen," Ye Jingzhan called out as he turned around.

Hearing the man's voice, Shen Shuyao's face instantly crumpled. Head lowered, she pursed her lips to one side.

Ji Nian felt awkward. She pulled the sulking Shen Shuyao along to silently follow behind the male lead.
