Gu Nian smiled, “It was a trick for me get away from him.
He bet that I’d lost my reputation, work myself into a dead end, and crawl back to him.”

“––“

Qin Yuanyuan’s eyes shuddered.
Her lips parted as though she was about to say something.
Finally, giving Jiang Xiaoqing, who was still in the dark, a look and decided against it.

Jiang Xiaoqing gritted her teeth.
“What about you? What’s your bet?”

“That that would not happen.” Gu Nian’s cat-like lips curved upward.
It was a lively and naughty look that was uncharacteristic from her usual languid look.
“In order for the bet to go on, he cannot be contacting me.”

Jiang Xiaoqing, “And he just gave up so easily?”

Gu Nian was taken aback a little.

Qin Yuanyuan had already figured out which “job” Gu Nian was referred to.
She looked pained.

It wasn’t easy at all.

That could have completely ruined a person.
She couldn’t even begin to fathom how scary it would have been for Gu Nian get up from such despair.

Qin Yuanyuan wanted to say something.

“Mmm.” Gu Nian said suddenly.
She looked up and smiled with regret.
“He did give up at the time.
In order to severe all of our ties, I had also severe my ties with my past and did not give him another opportunity to look for me.”

“So, it was just unfortunate for us to run into his company today…… No, wait.” Jiang Xiaoqing’s face froze.
“He was there when we went over to go over the script.
So we were only invited over because he knew it was you.”

Gu Nian nodded.
“That was very likely the case.”

Jiang Xiaoqing was so angry that she could blow up.
“Oooooooh, lucky we didn’t sign with them.
That shameless person.
I want to smash his head!”

Gu Nian smiled.
“Calm down.
Calm down.
Being upset can be detrimental to your breast cells.”

“? !” Jiang Xiaoqing quickly covered up her breasts in alert.

Qin Yuanyuan suddenly said, “If that’s the case, we should give up on this contract.”

Jiang Xiaoqing nodded heavily.
“Yes, we will walk away from this!”

Gu Nian was taken aback a little.
“But this is a rare opportunity.
If we can succeed and this project starts, it would add a lot to your resumes……”

“Nevermind that we only landed this opportunity because he had other intentions toward you.” Qin Yuanyuan was angry, but that did not hinder her from thinking rationally.
“Even if we have signed it and he then brings up other shameless requests to squeeze you into complying, we will be tied by the contract if we want to walk then.”

Gu Nian nodded.
“I have thought about that as well.
I was going to remind you to pay special attention on the clauses under breaching of contract when you received the electronic version of the contract.

“We won’t be able to catch the wordings if the legal department of a big company tried to hide that.” Qin Yuanyuan was very firm on that.
“Besides, I am not comfortable with a company with such a sleezy boss.
I personally would not want to be on this project.”

“Me too! !”

Jiang Xiaoqing raised her hand emotionally.

Gu Nian was touched.
She patted the two on their hands.
“Good.
Now you sound like gold-medal screenwriters –– That being said, as much as we sound confident like we are gold-medal screenwriters, how are we going to find work?”

Jiang Xiaoqing, “……”

Qin Yuanyuan, “……”

Jiang Xiaoqing busted out laughing from frustration, “Hey, we are backing you here.
You don’t need to cheer us on, but at least stop being so negative.”

Gu Nian shook the bottle of club soda in front of her.
She smiled languidly when it bubbled.
“I had already been down by the society two years ago.
Dingke Media has a lot of pool in this industry.
It doesn’t matter that I offend him personally –– that had already happened two years ago.
But the two of you should still watch where you step.”

Qin Yuanyuan, “What do you mean by that?”

“Even if we are to turn them down, we should look for a good excuse.”

Jiang Xiaoqing chimed in curiously, “Like what?”

Gu Nian, “I am still working on that……”

Before they were done talking.

The doorbell rang.

The three of them were taken aback at the same time.

Jiang Xiaoqing, “Eh? I didn’t place a takeout order.
Did any of you?”

Gu Nian didn’t know what to make of that.
“Is that all there is on your mind? Let me go check.”

“Okay.”

Gu Nian hopped down from the barstool and walked quickly over to the front door.

The three of them lived together and they had picked a relatively safe area, so Gu Nian just opened up the door.

Outside of the door stood a little big brother with a baby face that looked a lot like an insurance salesman who was smiling at them brightly.

“Hi.”

Gu Nian was taken aback a little.
“Can I help you?”

The baby face little big brother put on a professional smile belonging to an insurance salesman.
“Is this the residence of Screenwriter Gu Nian?”

Gu Nian, “……?”
