Lisa stayed until Jennie finished all her scenes that day. Director Xiao was so satisfied with her that he asked her if she wanted to take a day off tomorrow. However, Jennie refused the idea of taking a break because it would only prolong her stay there.
Director Xiao also did not force her and only said, "Go home early today so you can have more rest."
While saying this, his eyes couldn't help but fall a few times on the tall man standing beside Jennie. The man was wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face and wearing an ID. Although it said on his ID card that he's Jennie's assistant manager, Director Xiao felt that it wasn't the case.
The sudden appearance of this assistant manager was a bit suspicious and more than that, it seemed like the two knew each other too well.
Could it be that Jennie's post was real? Director Xiao thought to himself before shaking his head, expelling the idea from his mind.
Even if it was real, no one could possibly give away 100 million to another person. Besides, the man's appearance looked good even though his face was half-covered. Judging from his figure, facial features, and regal mannerism, there was no way that he was short of women lining up in front of his house.
The most important thing was still the 100 million!
In this country, who could possibly give that huge sum of money to someone every month as an allowance? That person could only be someone who was not right in his head!
The 'someone' who was not right in his head was currently whispering to Jennie in a corner.
"Later, tell your manager to order a warm chicken porridge for a takeaway. The city is very cold and it's easy to get sick if you're not careful," whispered Lisa. He hated that he couldn't stay by her side forever to take care of her.
Jennie nodded, looking around to see if nobody was looking at them. When she's sure that no one was staring at them, she reached out and held his hand.
The warmth that transmitted from his hand to her own went through and pierced her heart. It was really comfortable.
Lisa squeezed her hand.
...
When Jennie returned to her hotel room, it was already past midnight. Lisa left after he sent her to her room.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jennie heard the footstep behind her and said, "Proceed with the plan."
Adelle said, "Bai Jingjing will be pulled into this. Is it alright with you?"
Jennie turned around and coldly said, "So? She dared to make use of an opportunity where my reputation was smeared with dirt to bring herself up, she should know better that there will be consequences if the rumors about me were false. Still, she used her own water army to smear more dirt in my name."
Jennie used to give way to other people in the past, but giving them a way to live only made her life miserable. She didn't want to go back to the past and live the same way. Jennie only wanted to live, but other people did not necessarily want her to live. So, why must she show compassion, kindness, and forgive them?
Adelle no longer said anything seeing that Jennie had already made up her mind.
...
In a hotel room in another city, Bai Jingjing looked at the number of fans that kept on rising and falling. A few days ago, the following number increased so much that her insides excitedly did a flip, but now, it was starting to slowly decrease.
But it doesn't matter. An artist in this industry will always experience a rise and fall in their followers and the decrease in number in her own following didn't do much of a crack in her armor so Bai Jingjing was really relaxed.
