I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 101

Shi Wei’s agent called the producer over at Xinhuang Entertainment to confirm the time of the audition and brought her to the headquarters of Xinhuang Entertainment. It was her first time at the Xinhuang Entertainment’s headquarters. Even though she was quite well-known in the entertainment industry, she had never had the chance to utilize Xinhuang’s resources.

The agency that she was currently with was not exactly small-scaled either, but it was still meager compared to Xinhuang Entertainment.

Based on her current situation, for instance, her agency had practically shunned her due to the horrendous scandal. But upon hearing that she was invited to the audition for Xinhuang’s movie, her agency was willing to utilize her again. Shi Wei, however, was still irritated that her agency had done so and thought that they were too pragmatic.

After arriving at Xinhuang Entertainment, Shi Wei was impressed at Fu Chengyan’s capabilities. It was rumored that Fu Chengyan did not even manage this company himself. Rather, it was managed by one of his menial personal assistants.

At that moment, Shi Wei felt that it was because of her relationship with Fu Chengyan, she had got this role, and she felt proud of that. Meanwhile, her agent was even more pleased with her for being called to an audition and said proudly, “Wei, just imagine if you had managed to get this role…”

“If?” Shi Wei glared at her agent, “There’s no if. I must get it!” The role had been set aside for her all along, and the audition was just for show, “You don’t really think those directors would pick on my acting skills, do you?”

The agent listened to her, tilted his brows, and grinned, “Wei, you have such good acting skills. The award would be yours in no time.”

“Of course!” Shi Wei lifted her head in pride as if she was the Queen.

In the meantime, the producer had informed Zhou Zheng upon Shi Wei’s arrival. They had long regarded Zhou Zheng as the center and backbone of Xinhuang Entertainment as he was always around.

Earlier on, Zhou Zheng had mentioned to the producers about Shi Wei’s coming and had asked them to look out for her. However, Zhou Zheng had also asked them to be vigilant about her, though she was someone whom he had brought in. Thus, the producer had taken heed to every order carefully and reported to Zhou Zheng the moment she arrived.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng was in the midst of reporting to Fu Chengyan when his phone rang. He looked at his phone and shuddered. Fu Chengyan immediately noticed and lifted his head to look at Zhou Zheng, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s a call from Xinhuang. They had informed me that Shi Wei is coming for an audition today. I guess this call is to update me on this matter.” Zhou Zheng reported as Fu Chengyan waved his hands at him, signaling for Zhou Zheng to pick up. Zhou Zheng picked it up instantly, “Hello?”

“Mr. Zhou, the one you had asked to take extra care of, has arrived. Do you really…” The producer hesitated, “Do you really want to give her the role?”

“Yes, of course. But hold on a second!” Zhou Zheng set aside his phone and asked Fu Chengyan, “Mr. Fu, Shi Wei is there. Do you have any further instructions?”

“Well, let her wait for a while!” Fu Chengyan said as he got up. Zhou Zheng saw that Fu Chengyan was getting his coat, so he hurriedly followed along, “Mr. Fu, you…?”

“I’m going to have a look!” Fu Chengyan’s lips curved into a thin smile and called Shi Nuan, “Are you busy with anything?”

Shi Nuan was pleasantly surprised that Fu Chengyan had called her at this hour. However, she was actually swamped at the moment. The top management of her company had informed her that the company’s tender document had leaked out. And that tender was supposedly under Shi Nuan’s care.

But Shi Nuan was positive that she had kept it well, so she did not expect things to go wrong. Even if she wanted to justify herself, she couldn’t.

The tender submission was going to take place this afternoon, Fucheng suffered a major loss when Shengyuan had abruptly reduced their orders, and they would be in hot water if things do not go well this time.

Earlier that day, Fu Yuqing had called for an emergency meeting, and Shi Nuan was the lamb to the slaughter when everyone put the blame on her. Shi Nuan had just got off the meeting, and she was apparently in a bad mood. Hence, when Fu Chengyan called, she was still upset about the earlier matter. “Can you just tell me what’s going on?” she asked in exasperation.

Since Fu Chengyan had called at this hour, it must have been something important.

Fu Chengyan immediately sensed that something was off with Shi Nuan, so he asked her back, “What happened?”

The whole incident regarding the tender document and everything else was regurgitated within that few minutes. After hearing the whole story, Fu Chengyan snorted while his slender fingers tapped at the steering wheel, “Why don’t you just quit if you’re unhappy?”

Shi Nuan had not expected him to say that and was stumped, “I have been considering it too. Actually, I’ve been thinking of resigning… if this did not happen…” She felt her colleagues had been intentionally picking on her, and it probably had something to do with the incident between her and Fu Xicheng.

At that moment, Fu Chengyan curled his lips into a thin smile, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m coming over to fetch you.”

“Fetch me? Where to?” Shi Nuan was surprised. “Don’t you need to work?”

“Don’t we all? But I’m pretty sure we need to take a breather right now. Besides, you have nothing to do at Fucheng now anyway. Am I right?”

Fu Chengyan was spot on. In fact, Shi Nuan had been ordered to suspend her work and pass it over to someone else. The top management had considered it a serious breach of trust and blamed it all on Shi Nuan. It was a plot to lay her off.

Nonetheless, Shi Nuan was not an idiot; she knew exactly what they were trying to do.
