Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 26: 026 The broker called

"Xiao Yan..."

Jun Lii attempted to organize his words.

"Have Jun Jiu contact her, and ask her if she is willing to wait for me for fifteen years?" His voice paused, his cold little face suddenly filled with a hint of happiness. "No, this is a serious matter; I have to ask her myself!"

Jun Lii did not speak until his son had left. Only then did his eyes suddenly narrow!

They glinted like those of a cheetah about to launch an attack, striking fear into the hearts of those who saw it.

"Jun Jiu!"

Standing by outside, Jun Jiu immediately entered: "Master!"

His voice contained a suppressed anger. "Who has Xiao Yan come into contact with today? Go and check."

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Jun Jiu returned to the study with a stack of documents and reported succinctly, "After the young master was locked up, a woman happened upon him by chance."

"By chance?"

"The meeting indeed was accidental; however, after they met, it’s hard to say she didn’t harbor other thoughts!" Jun Jiu added, "After investigation, this woman is named Yan Yueqing, a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry."

"Entertainment industry?" Jun Lii extended his hand in disgust and casually flipped through the stack of documents on the table.

On the ID photo, the girl’s smile shone as bright as the sun.

Somehow, the face seemed oddly familiar?

"Yan Yueqing?"

He repeated the name, furrowing his brows tightly as if searching his memory for something.

After a moment’s consideration, Jun Jiu offered, "Your subordinate will handle this matter, ensuring she won’t have the chance to see Young Master Yan again."

Jun Lii suddenly lifted his lashes: "Does the Jun Residence have resources in the entertainment industry?"

"Ah?" Jun Jiu was caught off guard.

What did the master mean by this?

He hesitantly replied, "The Jun Residence does not, but resources in the entertainment industry are not difficult to acquire, as long as one invests enough—"

Before he could finish, Jun Lii interjected, "Give her some preferential treatment."

Preferential treatment?

Jun Jiu did not understand: "Since she approached Young Master Yan, shouldn’t we remove her cleanly?"

"After all, she saved Xiao Yan; I don’t like owing people favors! Give her some perks, and if she remains honest and upright, pushing her to the first line isn’t an issue. But if she starts having other thoughts..." Jun Lii threw her documents into the trash can, "fire her from the circle."

Fire her?! From the entertainment circle or the biological circle?!

Can’t you be more clear?!!!

Are you entertaining the thought of killing, or not?!!!

But Jun Jiu dared not ask, and could only come up with his own conclusions... If that woman dared to harm the little master, she’d better know when to stop.

"As for Xiao Yan’s situation..." Jun Lii’s slender fingers tapped lightly on the desk, like the lethal sound of gunshots, each one exploding. "Tell him that matters of engagement cannot be taken lightly and should be thoroughly prepared."

"Master... are you thinking of delaying Young Master Yan’s time?"

Jun Lii’s lips curled slightly, his expression a mix of pride and helplessness: "He is very determined; by now, trying to persuade him to let go? It’s too late!"

His gaze slowly turned fierce.

"We can only find a breakthrough from that woman."

"Your subordinate understands."

Compassion Hospital in City C.

When she came out of the director’s office, it was already dark.

Yan Yueqing was holding a thick stack of reports, looking somewhat somber.

Thanks to the meticulous care of the doctors and nurses, her son’s health was improving steadily. As long as he kept returning for regular checkups and injections, there were no major issues.

What was serious now were the little guy’s psychological problems.

Yan Yueqing remembered the director’s sigh: "Mother Yan Wang, I know you’re busy with work and that a woman should have her career, but that’s no excuse to neglect your son! Wangwang is already five years old and doesn’t even speak; you’re failing as a mother!"

Yan Wang wasn’t that he couldn’t speak; clearly, he just didn’t want to.

However, as the scapegoat, she had no choice but to listen obediently and accept the scolding.

Compared to what the original host had done, even though the director’s words were a bit harsh, it was out of genuine concern for Yan Wang.

What could she do but accept it?

So, on the way back to the ward, Yan Yueqing kept pondering over this issue.

An artist’s path is not always one of their own choosing, and with her modest talent for acting, she had no need to force herself to eat this bowl of rice.

But terminating an artist’s contract is not as easy as resigning from a job.

In ordinary jobs, as long as there are no major violations, employees can come and go as they please.

If a company plays dirty, everyone can just meet at the labor bureau.

But it’s different for artists!

Those flashy contracts, once signed, bind you for six or seven years. They bury the best years of your youth in the company with no guaranteed chance of success.

Want to terminate your contract early?

Sorry!

The sky-high penalty fees can scare someone out of their wits.

Penalty fees, which she certainly didn’t have!

Wait until the contract expires? That’s just wasting time!

How can you terminate a contract legally and properly?

Sigh... what a headache!

As she pondered over this, her phone suddenly started vibrating like crazy.

Seeing the name on the caller ID, she frowned and answered, "Sister Liu?"

"Yan Yueqing, have you lost your mind? How dare you reveal on the show that you’ve had a child?"

Liu Minjun was the manager assigned to her by the company, responsible for many artists, and usually too busy with a few top stars to pay attention to her, a nobody.

Only when she couldn’t find anyone for a disliked persona would she remember her.

Yan Yueqing responded indifferently, "Sister Liu, it’s been three or four days, you just saw it?"

Liu Minjun was hopping mad, "Yan Yueqing, the company is very angry about your sudden confession! Do you realize that your actions have severely impacted the company’s reputation, even causing the stock price to plummet?"

"Sister Liu, I don’t have that kind of power to affect the company’s stock price," Yan Yueqing thought she was telling a joke.

Liu Minjun gritted her teeth, "You might not have the ability to affect the stock price, but Director Tang does! He publicly supported you on Weibo today, causing dissatisfaction among the fans! I don’t know what kind of spell you used on Tang Tang to not only change her impressions about you but even Director Tang—"

Director Tang, speaking up for her?

Yan Yueqing was stunned.

No way!

Is the power of twenty million that strong?

Liu Minjun said fiercely, "I advise you to quit while you’re ahead! The company is already discussing how to fire an artist with your scandalous track record! Even if Director Tang protects you, at most he can prevent you from paying the penalty fee to get out of the company. Do you think you can still survive in the entertainment industry after offending Zhongxing? Keep dreaming!"

Dang it!

Yan Yueqing was frozen on the spot!

It was as if a pie had hit her right on the forehead!

An overwhelming sense of happiness filled her chest.

Could such a good thing really happen?

No penalty fee for termination?

Director Tang!

You! Are! My! God!

Yan Yueqing almost split her face grinning.

In a good mood, even her Tai Chi felt unusually smooth.

Liu Minjun, gripping the phone, continued her rant for several minutes until she got tired of cursing and realized that Yan Yueqing hadn’t taken any stance. She shouted, "If you cause any more trouble on the next episode of ’National Parent’, get the hell out of the entertainment industry!"

Okay!

Understood!

Cause trouble!

Yan Yueqing quickly agreed.

After Liu Minjun hung up, she no longer had to pretend and instantly cracked a wide smile, happily clicking into Weibo.

Top trending topic.

It was a post by a blogger slandering her— "Why does the bootlicker try to whitewash herself with her son?"

The title was remarkably eye-catching!

And Director Tang’s repost was even more astonishing!

"She is the most dedicated mother I have ever seen."
