Chapter 210 - "She is smart enough to know the subtext." (3)

After the stiffness, Gu Nian closed up the document folder and pushed it back over to Qi Han. “I’m sorry, if your company does not recognize our work as a group, then I also don’t think that your company is worthy of my time and effort.

Babyface boy was taken aback a little. He looked up at them. He seemed to be surprised by how tightknit the three little screenwriters were.

At the same time, both Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan, being hit first by the pie then the discus, had recollected themselves.

Jiang Xiaoqing was the rasher one. She put her hand over the document folder that Gu Nian was pushing away from her and blurted out without thinking, “Are you crazy! Don’t do that! Even one of us going is good!”

“……”

The anger in Gu Nian dissipated with her smile.

Qin Yuanyuan, who had also wanted to stop Gu Nian but wasn’t fast enough, didn’t say anything directly but tugged at Gu Nian.

Qin Yuanyuan then leaned over and said to Gu Nian in a low voice, “Xiaoqing is right. We are a team. Even one person making it far will benefit the rest of us. If BH Media is as strong as you said they are, then this is a very rare opportunity.”

Gu Nian frowned, “But Demons is the joint effort of all of us. If I receive an opportunity because of that, I cannot accept just going by myself.”

“But…”

“This is not just for the two of you.” The serious look did not last too long on Gu Nian before she returned to her languid self. She was relaxed but genuine. “Principles are important to me. I am willing to give up a lot to maintain that. I will not back off when it comes to principles. Even if I did, this will continue to bother me like a thorn stuck in me day in and day out.”

“……”

Unable to convince her, Qin Yuanyuan had no choice but to give up.

The two turned back.

After exchanging a look with Gu Nian, Qi Han could tell that this little girl was not one to change her mind easily. Moaning to himself, he said hesitantly, “Okay, I get your point now, Screenwriter Gu…… I don’t have the authority to make this decision. Can you give me a minute to contact our general manager?”

Gu Nian’s eyes flickered. If there’s a chance for all three of them to have that opportunity, she certainly wasn’t going to turn that down.

“Sure, please do, Mr. Qi.”

Qi Han picked up his phone and walked over to a corner of the living room that was farthest away from the three of them after some hesitation.

He dialed the number that had been communicating with him just not too long ago. The other side picked up after about 10 seconds or so but didn’t say anything after he picked up the phone.

He was being overly cautious.

That was Qi Han’s thoughts but he had no choice but to say docilely, “Luo…. Boss, it’s me.”

“Mmm.”

“I ran into a bit of a snag.”

The person on the other end didn’t seem surprised. He asked nonchalantly, “What other conditions did she have?”

“Screenwriter Gu said that Demons was a joint effort of the three of them and she refused to take all the credit.”

“……”

The man on the other side chuckled after a couple of seconds. “That sounds like something that she’d say.”

Qi Han glanced over at his phone and suppressed his secret thoughts of please-don’t-be-lovestruck-at-this-very-moment-in-time. He said helplessly, “As such, how would you like to proceed, Boss.”

The man on the other end of the phone said tenderly and without missing a beat, “Tell her, she doesn’t need to take all of the credits. We will still accept only her right away but the other two screenwriters could enter into our audition. They, too, will be able to join the show if they can win out.”

Qi Han asked, at loss, “Em, will she accept that? It didn’t sound any different. The audition is tough. I doubt the other two little screenwriters will be able to……”

“She’s a smart girl.”

“? What does that have to do with anything?”

The man from the other end chuckled. “She is smart enough to read the subtext –– if she is to turn down the opportunity, then the other two wouldn’t even get that chance.”

“!”
