The Long-awaited Mr Han
chapter-260

Lu Qi briefly glanced at Lu Man before pulling Xia Qingyang to a corner at the other side and said softly, “The manager of one of my sisters from the entertainment circle has relations with Director Sun Yiwu’s assistant, I can request her to help ask about it.”

“Then ask quickly,” Xia Qingyang hurried her.

Thus, Lu Qi instantly called her Xu Yiai, a friend from her circle of close friends, who was also a B-list actress, “Xiao Ai, is your manager by your side right now?”

“…”

“Really? Then that’s great, I want to ask for her help, could she help me contact Director Sun Yiwu’s assistant?”

“…”

“No, no, I’m not trying to get a role, do you still remember Lu Man? She got chosen for the third female lead role. She told me that the cost of breaching the contract is 10 million yuan, so could you please ask your manager, Sister Chen, to help check whether it is true, don’t let her lie to me.”

On hearing that it was just for that and not to request her manager to help get a role for her, Xu Yiai willingly agreed, “Alright, wait for a bit, I’ll ask Sister Chen to ask.”

Since it was trivial request Sister Chen agreed.

Xia Qingwei was nervous and secretly asked Lu Man, “Is the fee for breaching the contract really as high as 10 million yuan?”

Lu Man pressed onto Xia Qingwei hand, “We’ll talk about it in a while.”

After a while, having got the information Sister Chen returned. After she finished telling Xu Yiai about it, she instructed her, “Slowly distance yourself a bit from Lu Qi, her reputation is very bad right now, if you get too close to her, you’ll be brought down as well. Also, quickly pull yourself out from her circle.”

“Alright, I don’t dare to leave too fast because I’m scared that people will say I’m not loyal, and that I hit her when she’s down so I can only do it slowly,” Xu Yiai said.

“As long as you know what to do, it’s alright, but do it as fast as possible. I just helped you get a reality show, be careful, don’t let her ride on your popularity,” Sister Chen instructed.

Xu Yiai hurriedly agreed, then replied to Lu Qi, “Qi Qi, Sister Chen went to ask just now, it is indeed like that. Because the filming schedule is tight, they’re scared Lu Man will regret and refuse to film, which would affect their filming, hence they set the contact breaching fees very high. It’s to prevent the worst from happening, you must know, that the movie is very tough to film.”

As soon as Lu Qi heard it, her heart felt cold, “I know now, thank you, convey my thanks to Sister Chen.”

After she hung up, Lu Qi’s facial expression turned ugly as she nodded at Xia Qingyang, “It’s really like that.”

“Then… then let’s just give it up, why do we need to pay the cost of breaching the contract when Lu Man is the one breaching the contract,” Xia Qingyang pursed her lips unhappily, completely forgetting that she was the one who pleaded for Lu Man to breach the contract just now.

When Lu Man heard it, she could not help but smile coldly.

Although Lu Qi was unwilling to give up, she still chose to give up, “It’s just a salary of 50,000 yuan and also it will be very hectic so I don’t want it. Even when I film an episode of a television drama, the pay is at least 100,000 yuan.”

“Exactly.” Xia Qingyang also felt that it was not worth it. “Let’s not do it.”

The way Xia Qingyang spoke was as if it was their choice to not take the role and Lu Qi could go if she wanted to.

“Since it’s like this, we won’t make life hard for you,” Xia Qingyang’s expression changed, now that she had no use of them, her face instantly turned cold, “Qi Qi, let’s go.”

Pulling Lu Qi to walk a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned her head back, “Elder sister, I advise you to control Lu Man. For just 50,000 yuan, she’s willing to give up her life. Don’t come back lacking an arm or a leg when you go film. The money you earn won’t be enough to treat your illness.”

Xia Qingwei was so angry that she was trembling, “Nothing good ever comes from a dog’s mouth!”

“Mom, don’t say anymore,” Lu Qi looked like she was trying to prevent a fight, but who knew that what she was actually trying to do by then saying, “They don’t have it easy as well, after all, they are poor so when they have such an opportunity they must tightly grasp onto it, even if it’s for just 50,000 yuan, they’re willing to do anything. They all have their own troubles, it’s not that they want to take the risk, but they don’t have the power to choose right? We should just go.”
