Chapter 730: The Boss is Not Bad, He is Nice to You

There were three people in his family—and his position was the third!

Hmm, it’s all right, Yue Tingfeng comforted himself. At least I’m placed in the top three!

Mrs. Yue pulled Yan Qingsi to take a seat and served her the lemon water his fifth auntie had concocted.

Yan Qingsi took a sip. A mixture of sweetness and sourness fused in her mouth. The drink was just at the right temperature—not too hot, not too cold. Only a person who truly cared about you would pay attention to such detail.

A glass of warm drink and a normal family meal, all the worries and troubles weighing on Yan Qingsi all vanished.

After they finished dinner, Yue Tingfeng sent Yan Qingsi to meet up with Miss Mai.

She had not met up with Miss Mai for a long time; the other woman apologized to her.

Yan Qingsi had a pretty solid standing in her career, but there were other actors under Miss Mai’s agency. The manager had recently signed a promising young talent, so she had spent most of her time and energy devoted to polishing the newcomer up.

Yan Qingsi did not feel anything, really. She was not a child who constantly needed mothering.

After they talked for a while, Miss Mai brought up work matters with Yan Qingsi. “‘Requiem’ and ‘Beauty’s Rival in Palace’ are being highly publicized. Remember to post a lot about it on Weibo on a daily basis,” she said. “Although you don’t have any upcoming filming, you have to promote the dramas—and yourself—by attending public events and talk shows. I’ll send the schedule to Xiao Xu when I go back. These two dramas are slated to air next month, on August.

“Qingsi, I watched the trailers and clips from these two dramas. They’re good; I have confidence in them. You didn’t have a portfolio to back you up last time, and then you made the headlines because of scandals. Even if many people like you now, they would still see you as the queen of empty eye candy and scandals. Whether or not your image will change depends on these two dramas.”

Yan Qingsi nodded her head. She was well aware that she had been under the spotlight from time to time, but she still did not have a sufficiently firm reputation in the entertainment industry.

Reputation in the industry depended on box office earnings, acting prowess, ratings, and capability. She did not prove to have a single one of them. Probably some people were waiting to see her fall.

These two dramas would make it or break it for her.

“You won’t last long by relying on scandals and gossip. The key is capability and acting skills. We’ll transform your image into a beautiful one this time. Although August is barely counted as the summer holiday month, plenty of dramas are also airing during this period. I’ve spotted a few competitors. This time, with your acting skills and the drama ratings, we’ll blaze a path for you.”

Yan Qingsi nodded her head. “I know. I will remember this in my heart.”

After they dealt with important matters, Miss Mai’s eyes sidled toward Yue Tingfeng, who sat at a table beside them, quietly looking at his phone without disturbing them.

“Qingsi, let me give you some heart-to-heart advice,” Miss Mai said, tone low. “The boss is not bad. He’s really nice to you. You should reciprocate his affections too. Don’t let him be the one who constantly gives. If he doesn’t get any return, he’ll grow tired after a while.

“No matter how much a woman has achieved in the entertainment industry, no matter how many awards she has won, when she does not have a place to go home to after 40, her life will only go downhill from there. I’ve seen this too many times before. Qingsi, you need to hold onto whatever you have. You have to take care of both your work and your personal relationship.

Yan Qingsi smiled. “Oh ho, now you tell me this. I think you’ve been brainwashed by the boss recently. Who told me that I shouldn’t lay down my heart for this bratty tycoon who only plays with your feelings?”
