Chapter 206 Your success was bought with your body
Just then, Su Yingqing's assistant hurried over, carrying her coat and bag.
"Sister Yingqing, these are your things." The assistant handed her the coat and bag, her tone hesitant.
"And... could you perhaps settle this month's salary first?"
Su Yingqing was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Salary? Now?"
The assistant nodded, lowering his voice: "Yes, I have a family emergency and need money to tide me over."
A surge of irritation welled up in Su Yingqing's heart, and her tone became impatient: "What do you mean by this? Do you think I'm no longer good enough and just want to take the money and leave?"
The assistant quickly waved her hand: "No, Sister Yingqing, I just..."
"Just what?" Su Yingqing sneered, interrupting her.
"Do you think that I have no future because I was rejected?"
"So you want to find a new backer as soon as possible, right?"
The assistant's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but she still managed to suppress her emotions: "Sister Yingqing, please don't misunderstand."
"I just feel that...your current situation may not be suitable for continuing the cooperation."
Su Yingqing's anger was instantly ignited.
She snatched the bag from her assistant, pulled out a wad of cash, and threw it at the assistant.
"Here you go! Take the money and get out!"
"Who do you think you are? Without me, would you be where you are today?"
The banknotes were scattered all over the floor, and the assistant squatted down and picked them up one by one.
She lowered her head and muttered softly, "Sister Yingqing, please don't be angry."
"I just feel that your current success... came at the cost of your health."
"You can't go far down this path."
Su Yingqing's face instantly turned ashen, her voice shrill: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The assistant stood up, tossed Su Yingqing's coat back to her, and said calmly, "I'm telling you, you can't possibly become a Best Actress."
Goodbye, Sister Yingqing.
After saying that, the assistant turned and walked away quickly, his back view appearing exceptionally resolute.
Su Yingqing stood there, clutching her coat, a strong sense of loneliness welling up inside her.
"You dare treat me like this..."
"You all think I'm easy to bully, don't you?"
She watched her assistant's retreating figure, her heart filled with anger.
"I won't let this go!"
"I will rise again and make you all regret it!"
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"The most important thing now is to find a way to turn the situation around."
"Mr. Yang... he will definitely help me."
She took out her phone and, with trembling hands, dialed Mr. Yang's number.
"Mr. Yang, it's me, Yingqing."
"May I come to see you tonight...?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Then came Mr. Yang's deep voice: "Okay, come to my place, see you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yingqing felt a little more at ease, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
"Su Yingxue, Tan Zhengchu, you just wait and see!"
"I will definitely become a big star and make you regret everything you did to me today!"
She straightened her clothes and deliberately walked out of the mall with her head held high and chest out.
……
Outside the mall, Xiaoqi and Liubao were carried out by a maid.
The two girls still had the excitement on their faces and kept muttering to themselves.
"We finally taught that wicked woman a lesson!" Xiao Qi waved her little fist, her tone full of pride.
“Yeah, she bullied Mommy, she deserved it!” Liu Bao chimed in, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
Grandma Tan followed behind and, overhearing their conversation, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Qi, Liu Bao, why do you dislike Su Yingqing so much?"
Xiao Qi turned her head and looked at Grandma Tan seriously: "Great-Grandma, she's a bad woman!"
“She used to bully Mommy and make her suffer.”
Liu Bao nodded and added, "My brothers told us that if we encounter her, we have to deal with her."
"We can't let Mommy suffer anymore!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of approval flashed in Grandma Tan's eyes.
She gently patted Xiaoqi and Liubao's heads, her voice tender: "You are such good children, you know how to protect your mother."
"Great-grandmother also knows that Su Yingqing and the others did many bad things in the past."
“You did the right thing today, and your great-grandmother is proud of you.”
Xiaoqi and Liubao smiled happily upon hearing this.
"Grandma, do you dislike her too?" Xiaoqi looked up and asked curiously.
Grandma Tan smiled, but instead of answering directly, she said, "My great-grandmother only likes kind people."
She glanced at the time and suggested, "Okay, let's stop thinking about those unhappy things."
"Great-Grandma will take you to the shopping mall next door and buy you some pretty gifts, okay?"
Xiaoqi and Liubao's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? That's great!"
"Great-Grandma, I want a new dress!" Xiaoqi said excitedly.
"I want a remote-controlled airplane!" Liu Bao retorted, not to be outdone.
Grandma Tan was amused by their enthusiasm: "Okay, okay, I'll buy them all!"
"However, you must promise Great-Grandma that you won't cause trouble anymore, understand?"
Xiaoqi and Liubao nodded obediently, "Okay, Grandma!"
The three of them went into the shopping mall next door, and Grandma Tan took Xiaoqi and Liubao shopping.
Xiaoqi tried on a pink dress, twirled around, and asked Grandma Tan, "Great-Grandma, does it look good?"
"She looks beautiful, like a little princess!" Grandma Tan nodded with a smile.
Liu Bao hugged his newly bought remote-controlled airplane, unable to put it down: "Great-Grandma, this airplane can fly so high!"
"When we get home, I'll fly it for you!"
Grandma Tan patted his head: "Okay, great-grandmother will wait and see."
During the shopping trip, Xiaoqi and Liubao laughed non-stop, completely forgetting the unpleasantness from earlier.
Seeing how happy they were, Grandma Tan felt incredibly satisfied.
"Great-Grandma, why don't you try this scarf too!" Xiaoqi picked up a soft scarf and handed it to Grandma Tan.
"Okay, Great-Grandma, give it a try." Grandma Tan took it with a smile, feeling warm inside.
After shopping, the three returned home laden with purchases.
Xiaoqi and Liubao hugged their respective gifts, their faces beaming with happiness.
"Great-Grandma, I'm so happy today!" Xiaoqi said sweetly, holding Grandma Tan's hand.
"Yes, thank you, Great-Grandma!" Liu Bao also came over and kissed Grandma Tan.
Grandma Tan was amused by their actions, her eyes full of affection: "If you're happy, then Grandma is happy."
"Whenever you have time, Great-Grandma will take you out to play again."
"Okay!" Xiaoqi and Liubao agreed in unison.
……
Su Yingqing carried her bag and walked quickly towards the underground parking garage.
Her high heels made a crisp sound on the ground, but her heart was filled with anxiety.
"We must appease President Yang tonight and get back the lead role no matter what!"
She made up her mind silently, her fingers gripping the bag strap tightly.
She had just gotten into the car and was about to start the engine.
Suddenly, the car door was yanked open.
"Who?!" Su Yingqing was startled.
Turning his head, his face instantly turned pale.
"Zhang Daqiang? What are you doing here!"
