Hearing the doorbell, he walked towards the door.
Through the peephole, he saw Le Jiani standing outside, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Mom, I’ll call you back later, there’s sothing going on right now."
Uncertain what the elderly Mrs. Qiu was saying on the phone, Qiu Qianghai replied with a forced smile, "I know, I know, you can rest assured completely."
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Qianghai lightly pinched his brow and reached out to open the door.
Standing outside, with a bare face, Le Jiani looked at him innocently.
"Mr. Qiu—"
Her voice weak, seeming extrely helpless.
"What are you here for?" Qiu Qianghai’s attitude was cold, showing no intention of letting her in.
Le Jiani tightly clutched her bag, "Mr. Qiu, I’ve been dropped by the company. I was originally cast as the second female lead in Director Cheng Shi’en’s ’Youthful Years’, but now I’ve been replaced."
Qiu Qianghai’s expression was indifferent, "What’s that got to do with ?"
Le Jiani raised her head, looking at him with resentnt.
After a while, she spoke haltingly, "That ti when the boss saw us together at Night Paradise, all my work stopped because of it."
Rembering the eting with Gu Minmin, and future brother-in-law Gu Jiajie’s actions, Qiu Qianghai raised an eyebrow.
He straightforwardly said, "Get to the point, why are you here?"
Le Jiani bit down on her lip, "I want you to speak to my boss for , I want to continue working."
"That’s not possible." Qiu Qianghai frowned slightly.
In his impression, Gu Jiajie’s way of doing things did not seem like sothing he would do.
There must be a reason why the other party did this.
Le Jiani didn’t expect such a straightforward rejection, and her eyes reddened imdiately, "How can you be like this? It took so much effort for to get into Shijiu Entertainnt Company and secure the role of second female lead. You big shots, it’s just a few words among you. Why won’t you help ? How can you be so selfish!"
Saying this, she suddenly started tearing at her cotton dress, crying out, "Do I have to offer my body as a condition? I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it all to you, please help ! I’m at my wits’ end!"
Qiu Qianghai felt a sudden pulsation on both sides of his forehead, looking at Le Jiani as if she were a lunatic, like a clown.
Even if he were desperate, he wasn’t desperate enough to eat whatever ca his way.
Le Jiani looked at Qiu Qianghai with resentnt, aggrieved and sorrowful, "I’ll give you my body, please help , won’t you, please—"
However, what responded to her was the sight of the door being shut tight.
She was dumbfounded.
Le Jiani seed to be using a lot of force, but in reality, she did not tear the dress at all.
The act stopped awkwardly just like that.
In the ten or so seconds she froze, the door was opened once again.
Qiu Qianghai was holding a bag, presenting it to Le Jiani.
"I’m sorry for your lost job, I won’t shirk the responsibility, but speaking up for you is beyond my capabilities. Here’s compensation for you; there’s one hundred thousand in cash inside, enough for you—"
Before Qiu Qianghai finished speaking, the bag was swiftly snatched by Le Jiani.
Her eyes lit up as she stared at the bundles of cash inside, all traces of grievance vanished from her eyes.
Seeing her expression, Qiu Qianghai frowned slightly, continuing, "Do not co looking for again, rember what I said, do not appear in front of again; this is the last warning."
After finishing, he shut the door completely.
Le Jiani losing her job had sothing to do with him, a responsibility he couldn’t entirely shirk.
