In the car.
"Are you unhappy?"
Fang Miaomiao looked at Wen Yan'an, who asked the question, in confusion. "Why would you ask such a question?"
This little guy's mind was too sharp.
"I feel like you're unhappy," Wen Yan'an took Fang Miaomiao's hand and organized his words to comfort her. "Don't let other people affect your good mood."
Hearing this, Fang Miaomiao was amused and exasperated. "You're so worldly for your age. I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about some things."
Some very cliché things, like how Lin Jiajia was originally the original owner's good friend. Even after she knew the original owner wasn't Miss Fang's daughter, she was still very close to her.
But for some reason, after the original owner didn't want to be kicked out after apologizing to Fang Yan Huan, Lin Jiajia not only blacklisted her phone number but also went abroad overnight, completely changing her demeanor as a good friend.
The next time they met was today.
Lin Jiajia was still arrogant and domineering, but there was no longer any trace of Fang Miaomiao in her eyes.
Fang Miaomiao knew that was the original owner's friend, and it had nothing to do with her, but her heart still felt a pang.
Especially after she slapped Lin Jiajia, the past affection kept replaying in her mind like a movie, giving her a terrible headache.
"Dad said, sometimes, if you can't figure out complicated things, you don't have to think about them too much. It will only bring you unnecessary trouble."
These simple and easy-to-understand words almost made Fang Miaomiao laugh. "Your dad still lectures you?"
Wen Yan'an and Wen Zhiyan were both the type of people who wouldn't speak unless asked. The scene of Wen Zhiyan lecturing Wen Yan'an was something Fang Miaomiao truly couldn't imagine.
Although Wen Yan'an didn't understand where the humor lay, he still nodded obediently. "Yes, Dad lectures."
Even though he often didn't listen, since these lectures could make her smile, he might as well listen to some from time to time in the future.
Just as Fang Miaomiao was about to speak, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID. Although she didn't want to answer, she still said to Wen Yan'an, "Be good, wait a moment, I'll take this call."
Wen Yan'an nodded, took out the Rubik's Cube beside him, and started playing with it, indicating that he wouldn't disturb her call.
Fang Miaomiao ruffled his hair and answered the phone.
"Sister Li, is there something?"
"Did you cause trouble again today?"
Fang Miaomiao blinked, not understanding what Sister Li meant.
"Did you get into a fight with someone, and it was filmed and posted online?" Sister Li took a deep breath and rubbed her temples. "And that person is the eldest daughter of Lin's Bank?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Fang Miaomiao's eyes. "Sister Li, since you know everything, why are you asking me?"
"Fang Miaomiao, don't forget, I'm your agent."
"I know," Fang Miaomiao said, picking at her ear. "You're my agent, what does that have to do with me fighting just now?"
"You!" Sister Li was speechless.
"What about me?" Fang Miaomiao asked confusedly. "I've been very well-behaved lately, not causing trouble. And Sister Li, when you saw me fighting, did you investigate why I slapped her?"
"Fang Miaomiao, is the focus of the investigation now? The focus is that you slapped the daughter of Lin's Bank. With one word from her, not only you, but even our company will be implicated."
"Then don't worry, the company will definitely not be implicated," Fang Miaomiao promised seriously. "After all, Fang Yan Huan is also an artist from your company. Lin Jiajia will spare your company out of consideration for Fang Yan Huan."
"Miaomiao," Sister Li realized that Fang Miaomiao might not respond well to a tough approach, so she softened her voice. "Can you sometimes speak without being so sarcastic and unpleasant?"
"Do I? Fine, if these words make Sister Li uncomfortable, then I'm very sorry, but it's highly likely I won't change." Fang Miaomiao leaned back in her chair. "So, tell me what the call is about. The sooner you say it, the sooner it ends, and the less time we waste."
"You've caused trouble for the company. The higher-ups' decision is that if you don't get Lin Jiajia's forgiveness, you will be indefinitely sidelined by the company until the contract ends."
"There's such a good thing?" Fang Miaomiao's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Sidelined for twenty years, that's fine, I can't wait."
She didn't want to work in the entertainment industry anymore anyway. Being indefinitely sidelined, wasn't that like someone bringing a pillow just as she wanted to sleep?
Hearing this, Sister Li doubted if her ears were malfunctioning. "If you're sidelined, you won't be remembered. With you like this, you still want to return to the Fang family? Fang Miaomiao, you're dreaming."
Fang Miaomiao remained silent, mainly because she was too excited just now and felt a bit carsick.
Sister Li thought her words had had an effect and quickly pressed her advantage. "Think about it, don't you want to prove your excellence to the Fang family? If you're sidelined, how will you prove it?"
"If the company is dragged down by you and collapses, how can it let you shine? How will the Fang family see you, right?" Sister Li coaxed gently. "So, your main task now is to help the company overcome this difficulty, and then the company can help you shine, right?"
"Oh."
"So, you agree?" Sister Li on the other end of the phone, afraid Fang Miaomiao would go back on her word, spoke rapidly. "I knew Miaomiao was the most kind-hearted. You can go to the second floor of the October Hotel tomorrow afternoon at six. We found out Lin Jiajia will be attending a banquet there tomorrow afternoon."
"At that time, you just need to beg Lin Jiajia in front of the banquet crowd to spare you. With so many guests, even if Lin Jiajia doesn't agree, she'll have to."
The embarrassing incident involving President Wang and President Li last time was suddenly exposed. Although the two companies suppressed it with strong measures, the company's reputation had declined.
Many investors even broke their contracts with their company without regard for penalties. Wang Jiahui was also called back by his family. A company without a responsible person was on the verge of collapse.
Not long ago, Fang Yan Huan even vaguely hinted at moving to Emperor Wen's media company. If this were true, the company would truly disappear from history.
This was also what Sister Li was unwilling to accept. She had worked tirelessly for the company, only to end up with nothing.
Therefore, she found Shen Jiani, and Shen Jiani said she had a way to get her to Fenghe Media, but the condition was that Fang Miaomiao had to attend tomorrow's banquet.
At first, she was still struggling with how to persuade Fang Miaomiao to attend the banquet, until she saw Fang Miaomiao's suddenly suppressed trending topic.
Although she clearly understood what it meant for a trending topic to be suppressed, she was still unwilling to leave the industry like this.
A gamble could turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
