I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

He thought Jin Lan would be devastated, but to his surprise, Jin Lan remained calm throughout and even said a few comforting words, as if she had grown up overnight.

This is one of the few sources of comfort he has now.

To be honest, he wasn't exactly kind to Jin Lan either.

Although they were relatives, he helped Jin Lan on conditions: he would take a cut of the money Jin Lan earned from appearing on TV shows.

In other words, Jinlan is like his glove; he supports Jinlan from behind, and the money Jinlan earns must also be offered as tribute.

Now that he's fallen from power, Jinlan has no reason to exist anymore.

After he finished speaking, he said, "Why don't you just withdraw from the competition?"

"what?"

Jin Wei said, "If you go on to compete again without my help, you will definitely be eliminated early. Rather than leaving in an ugly way, it's better to withdraw now and retain a group of fans."

He thought his idea was sound, but to his surprise, Jin Lan coldly replied:

"No, Uncle, I still want to participate in the show to the end, to see it through to the end."

Jinwei said anxiously, "How are you going to participate to the end? You might be eliminated in the next round..."

Jin Lan said, "Even if I am eliminated, I still want to participate in this program to the end."

Jin Wei smiled bitterly.

In the past, Jin Lan was always a man of his word and would never disobey me like this.

Sure enough, he is now experiencing the consequences of losing power.

Jin Lan added, "By the way, Uncle, I want to terminate my contract with Feng Zhifeng."

Jin Wei asked in surprise, "Why did you terminate his contract? If you fire him, where will you have your own people left?"

Feng Zhifeng was the agent assigned by the company, but he was also part of the Jinwei faction, so he was considered one of their own.

Therefore, Jinwei was quite confused by Jinlan's actions and felt that she might have gone mad.

Jin Lan said, "Feng Zhifeng has offended Chen Liang to death. He said that as long as my agent is Feng Zhifeng, he will not talk to me. So, if I want to sign a contract, I must first terminate the contract with him."

Jin Wei was speechless.

He suddenly realized that he had never truly understood Jin Lan's personality.

Her judgment was calm and decisive, which was unlike her usual self.

Jinwei suddenly felt that he was getting old.

……

Qin Yaoyang took Qin Yunchu to the rooftop. When the father and daughter were young, they often went to the rooftop to overlook the city and talk about business. As a result, Qin Yunchu was quite precocious.

However, that was a long time ago, and Qin Yun Chu couldn't remember when it was last time.

"Dad," Qin Yun Chu said, following behind, "the wind on the rooftop was a bit strong, making his trench coat flutter. He's a bit tactless and unforgiving, just like me. Don't take it to heart."

Qin Yaoyang chuckled and said, "Why would I care? When I was young, I was often the target of people pointing fingers and cursing at me. If I really cared, would I have lived to this age?"

Seeing that Qin Yaoyang was calm, Qin Yun Chu relaxed a little and then said:

"Dad, why are you suddenly putting me in charge of this? You didn't even discuss it with me. I've never done this kind of work before."

Qin Yaoyang glanced at her and laughed, "What's there to be afraid of? I haven't done 80% of the jobs in this company, and I'm still doing just fine as the chairman."

Qin Yun Chu muttered, "How can that be the same..."

Qin Yaoyang patted her on the shoulder and said, "That's why talent is so important. Leave the professional work to the professionals, and you just need to make choices."

Qin Yunchu nodded, but then Qin Yaoyang said something that surprised her:

"This Chen Liang is quite a talent. How long have you been talking to him?"

Qin Yunchu blushed and said, "Dad, what are you guessing? I didn't talk to him."

Qin Yaoyang chuckled, a knowing look on his face, and said:

"You still say you haven't talked? Do you think I'm senile? I've been this age before. You've been doing this and that with him, pulling strings to get him into the show, giving him preferential treatment, do you think I didn't know?"

Qin Yun Chu blushed, knowing that this was a huge misunderstanding, but she didn't know how to explain it.

"I said we're just friends..."

"I doubt friends would do that, would they? No one is more important than a father to his niece, and I know your personality well enough," Qin Yaoyang said with a smile.

After a pause, Qin Yaoyang continued, "You've allocated so many resources to him, isn't it so that he can achieve something and then bring it to see me, so I can boast about it and save face?"

Qin Yunchu looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Qin Yaoyang is a good father; he's quite open-minded.

They're a bit stubborn and overconfident; once they've made up their minds, nothing can change their minds.

"Okay, okay, I like him, alright?"

Seeing that his daughter had admitted it, Qin Yaoyang stopped pressuring her, patted her on the shoulder, and said:

"That's why I assigned you this position, so you can take the lead and command. That way, if something similar happens again, you won't be accused of overstepping your authority."

Qin Yunchu wanted to explain something more, but in the end she gave up.

Actually, upon closer reflection, this is for the best. With this misunderstanding in place, there's no need to explain anything to Qin Yaoyang in the future, and even if Chen Ya is treated well, there's no risk of being held accountable.

Furthermore, she is directly in charge of the production team's work, which gives her influence within the team and reduces potential trouble, preventing situations like today's mess.

Qin Yaoyang looked at his daughter with a meaningful expression and said:

"Actually, with our family's conditions, why do we need to worry about saving face? As long as you find someone healthy and without bad habits, even if they are nothing special, I'll be satisfied."

He walked away with his hands behind his back, saying, "At my age, all I want is to hold my grandchildren as soon as possible..."

Qin Yun Chu's face turned even redder.

Of course, if this misunderstanding is allowed to continue, she doesn't know what will happen in the future.

But there's no way to worry about the future now.

Qin Yaoyang suddenly turned around: "Go to Japan."

"what?"

Qin Yaoyang became a little more serious and said:

“With such a large company, situations like Jinwei’s are not uncommon. I’d feel more at ease if you went to RB and took charge from the front lines.”

Qin Yun Chu asked again, "Huh?"

“Go today,” Qin Yaoyang emphasized. “Aren’t there other people flying over later? You can take the same flight as them.”

I need to take a day off to recover.

I've been having health problems lately, and I feel a bit weak. I had a major flare-up the day before yesterday, and I've been feeling groggy ever since.

I'm taking another day off to rest a bit, and I'll try to update more tomorrow.

Chapter 437 Qin Yunchu Arrives

Jin Lan knocked on Chen Ya's door with some trepidation.

The past two days have seen tremendous changes, both in the world around her and in herself; the changes can only be described as earth-shattering.

Jin Wei's sudden dismissal and the downfall of his biggest backer must have been a major event in Jin Lan's life.

But she wasn't as flustered as she had imagined; instead, she remained somewhat calm.

She seemed to have had a vague premonition about this yesterday, and today was just the confirmation of that premonition.

The main reason was that she felt that both Feng Zhifeng and Jin Wei had underestimated Chen Liang.

In TV dramas, those who open champagne early usually don't end up well.

When Jin Lan went to inform Feng Zhifeng that she was terminating his contract, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

Generally speaking, agent contracts are not so easy to terminate, but Feng Zhifeng was originally arranged by the company, and terminating his contract was also the company's requirement, otherwise he would not be able to work in the company in the future. Since neither side had any objections, the contract termination went smoothly.

After both parties signed, Feng Zhifeng threw the pen directly in front of Jin Lan, and the ballpoint pen almost bounced off Jin Lan's face.

Feng Zhifeng was in a fit of impotent rage.

He's really messed up this time, and his reputation is ruined.

If Jin Lan has a hard time getting by at the company, he'll have an even harder time than her.

Feng Zhifeng pointed at Jin Lan's nose and said, "You unlucky bastard, I'm doomed to have you. Just wait and see what happens to you!"

Jin Lan didn't refute, but silently put the contract away and placed it in a file folder.

The staff around her looked at her with pity, but none of them said a word to help her.

Jin Lan knew that Feng Zhifeng was right; if her powerful backer fell, she would indeed have a difficult end.

Now, I have to rely on myself for everything.

So she knocked on Chen Liang's door.

"Come in."

Chen Liang's voice came from inside the door.

Jin Lan took a deep breath and pushed the door open to go inside.

Chen Liang sat in the chair and turned around to see Jin Lan.

Today she was wearing a burgundy mini skirt, white socks, and sandals, which made her legs look very thin.

Chen Ya frowned: "What's wrong?"

Jin Lan was wearing a cat ear headband, I don't know where she got it from, and a pink low-cut round-neck sweater, which looked rather cute.

She didn't say anything, but lowered her head and moved closer. Chen Ya quickly stood up, but Jin Lan hadn't stopped yet and was almost pressed against him.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Ya was both surprised and frightened. Even he, who was usually so brave, was a little flustered at this moment.

Could it be that Jin Lan has completely lost her mind and now wants to come and kill him?

As a result, Jin Lan slowly raised her head, stared at him, and whispered:

"Meow~"

"What are you meowing for!" Chen Ya never expected her to do this. "Are you some kind of stubborn mule? You came all nervous just to do this?"

"Meow meow……"

Jin Lan was wearing a short skirt with a fuzzy trim, without stockings, showing off her long legs.

Chen Ya took two steps back: "You might have misunderstood something. It's not like I like hearing this."

Jinlan tilted her head: "Meow meow meow?"

She bent over, and the ill-fitting collar of her top fell down, revealing a deep cleavage.

"I'm warning you, don't try to act cute." Chen Ya's face was ashen. "We Chinese don't fall for that!"

"Meow..."

She put on a pitiful expression, her smooth, white legs brushing against Chen Ya's knee.

He finally couldn't take it anymore, pulled out the contract from the side, and said:

"Stop talking nonsense. It's the same contract we talked about last time: a buyout for 3000 yuan. You have nothing to do with any future profits. Sign it if you want, or keep dragging it out."

Jin Lan silently picked up her pen.

For her, just signing the contract was enough, even if she didn't get a single penny.

She's had enough; let's just let this go.

After signing the contract, Jin Lan immediately took off the cat ears she was wearing, her expression cold, and turned to leave with the contract in her arms.

Chen Ya breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the woman had changed her mind, but her attitude was still the same as before, so he was at ease.

As she reached the door, Jinlan turned back and said:

“We’re even now. I was wrong to say before that your songs were just pop songs. Now I’ve paid the price. Besides, you always called me stupid and said I couldn’t sing, but I never held it against you.”
