Song Jiaqi returned to the TV station, only to find that everyone there was in chaos, discussing the romance between Ye Yang and Luāer.
During a break from work, people around her started talking again.
"I say, Ye Yang must be blind to fancy Luāer!"
"Not at all," Song Jiaqi said, sitting at her desk, her eyes fixed on the files, but she continued their conversation, "Luāer is quite pretty. Even as a woman, I find her very attractive. Why do you all dislike her so much?"
A neutral party remarked, "Sister Jiaqi, thatās because youāre not interested in Ye Yang! If you liked him, youād think any woman with him was a total mismatch!"
"Iām a very objective person. Beautiful is beautiful, ugly is ugly. Whatās it got to do with liking or not liking."
"I donāt care; I just donāt like Luāer! Sheās not good enough for our dear Ye Yang! If you have to pick a star in this entertainment circle to match up with him, at least it should be someone like An Hao!"
"Exactly, Iāve seen one of their commercials together, and sheās a better match than Luāer! Iād feel much better if Ye Yang fancied An Hao instead of Luāer."
Hearing the name "An Hao," Song Jiaqi couldnāt help but scoff, and without lifting her head, said, "I stand with Luāer."
Everyone else looked at each other in disbelief.
Wasnāt An Hao supposed to be her friend? Why does she seem so contemptuous of her?
Itās really strange.
...
After work, as Song Jiaqi was packing up to leave, the director came to her.
"Jiaqi, I heard you went to the Jinding shooting center yesterday? I remember thatās where Ye Yang and Luāerās commercial was shot."
"Director, how did you know that?"
"Hey! Our circle isnāt that big; itās not hard to find things out! I know An Hao had a car accident, and Luāer took over her role."
"So, director, what are you thinking about?"
"Did you meet Luāer? You know, āI Loveā is still missing someone. If we canāt use a top star, we can at least use someone associated with one. Luāer is pretty good! She has potential, and I hear Director Zhang is keen on making her the lead in his new movie."
"Director Zhang wants to use a newcomer?"
"Exactly, if heās ready to let Luāer take center stage, the prospects are promising! Before her worth goes up, letās get her on board. This is a promising stock; itās bound to pay off! So... how about you handle this?"
"Me?" Song Jiaqi widened her eyes and chuckled, "Director... I donāt even know Luāer. What are the chances Iād succeed? Youāre overestimating me. Besides, I didnāt see her in person yesterday."
"No problem! Just give it a try; Luāer isnāt some superstar yet. Faced with such an opportunity, she surely wonāt refuse. Even if she does, itās no big deal, right? We have other options, too... just go and give it a shot."
Song Jiaqi sighed softly.
She was a planner; when did she have to handle casting, besides planning shows?
"Director, you have to tell the station manager to give me a bigger year-end bonus."
"Absolutely! No need to say it!"
Was it easy for her to earn such a little money?
As for Luāerās matter, she felt she had a pretty good handle on it. Although reluctantly, she still took it on.
As the director said, sheās not a superstar yet, and her value isnāt skyrocketing. Apart from being a promising stock, sheās not particularly outstanding yet.
Getting her at this time should still be relatively easy.
