Chapter 83: 083: You lost your memory

Everyone in the room was shocked.
Was it true that she was originally supposed to be the first female lead of the show?!
If this was true and it was her manager who partnered up with someone else and messed things up, no matter who it was, they would have definitely caused a scene.
When she saw Una’s face turn awful and continued warning her with eyes, Jing Qian’s emotion of wanting to beat the dog in the water as the winner should dominate the world started growing out of control.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Tell us, in front of everyone in this room, as my manager, have you taken my benefit into consideration? Why did you conspire with someone else in order to take away my role?”
“Qianqian, I already told you that you lost your memory.”
“So I lost my memory, and now you get the right to conspire with an outsider and harm the interest of your artist. By doing this, does this count as a violation of our contract?”
The look on Una’s face was ugly beyond any words could describe.
She finally knew why Jing Qian had been compliant the day before after learning the news that there was a change in cast; she had been waiting for an opportunity today.
Jing Qian wanted everyone to know that Una had harmed the interest of her own artist and had violated their contract. If she wanted to end the contract between them and if Una mentioned the private agreement that they had, Jing Qian would be able to sue her in court.
Una felt that Jing Qian had really tripped her, and she fell really badly.
As she had no other choice, Una was forced to say, “You’re right, I had foreseen your benefits in this matter, but you were the one who agreed to leave these matters to me. It was something that we promised. We even wrote it in the contract.”
“The reason why we wrote it into the contract was because I trusted you. But what about you? You used the trust that I had in you and gave the opportunity to someone else. Even if we had an agreement before this, does it mention that I would not be allowed to question you if you did something to harm me? Or does it say that even if you sold me to someone else, I would still be counting your fortunes?”
Una was speechless.
Jing Qian was holding on to the matter and Una finally experienced how it felt to be put in a tough spot.
“Regarding this matter, I didn’t think it through. I’m sorry, Qianqian.”
“I don’t want your apology. If apologizing is useful, why would we still need the police?”
“But the decision had already been made…. Why don’t we just let it go for now? I promise to discuss all my decisions in the future with you before making them.” Una has already placed herself at her lowest.
“Decided? Who is it that made the decision? You? Were you the one who invested in the show, giving you the right to decide? I can let go of this, but you better discuss with me before making any other decision. As for now, you should go and hunt for a good first female lead role for me. I’ll give you one week’s time. If you fail to do so, you’ll have to compensate me with 1 billion yuan.”
“1 billion?!” Una’s eyes widened. “You’re just a newcomer and the most that anyone would pay you for an episode would be 800,000. A drama with 35 episodes would only give you 28 million, and yet you’re asking me for 1 billion?”
“Of course, how else would it be a compensation then?” Jing Qian replied with a smile on her face. “I may be a newcomer, but the amount of money that I get from each episode shouldn’t be decided by you. I have a contract with Zhongbo and they are willing to pay me 3 million each episode. With 35 episodes, I’ll be able to get 1 billion in total. Your actions have not only cost me 1 billion, but you have also caused me to lose the chance of becoming famous, along with the endless possibilities that I would have because of this. Therefore, if I don’t ask you for 1 billion, who should I get it from then?”
When everyone heard what she said, they couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
3 million each episode?
That’s the amount of an well-established first female lead.
What kind of relationship did Jing Qian have with Zhongbo?
