Capítulo 1001: Chapter 976: Giving You a Chance

The two of them arrived at the coffee shop together.

“Ye Chen, don’t take it to heart. My cousin isn’t usually like this. She’s been upset because of a project these past few days.”

As soon as they sat down in the coffee shop, he began defending his sister.

Zhao Jie was also very embarrassed about what had just happened.

Ye Chen nonchalantly said, “It’s okay, I’m used to these kinds of things.”

“So you’ve been in Modu after graduating? I thought you stayed abroad,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

“Haha, I feel Modu is pretty good, and it’s better in our country.”

“What are you doing now?” Ye Chen asked.

“I’m designing now.”

“Designing?” Ye Chen was a bit surprised.

Zhao Jie took out her phone and displayed some images.

These were all Zhao Jie’s design drafts.

Ye Chen took a glance; they were all film and TV poster designs.

These were for some popular TV series.

Ye Chen never expected that Zhao Jie had been involved in designing those posters.

“Ever since I graduated, I’ve been doing movie and TV poster design, and everything was going smoothly. Initially, we had signed on to a design project, but the people from Starlight Film and Television snatched away the project and kicked me out.”

“Recently I’ve been feeling down, bought a lot of clothes, spent all my money, so I could only order takeout for meals.”

With a face full of frustration, Zhao Jie spoke.

Ye Chen could tell that Zhao Jie wasn’t living well at the moment.

Back in school, Zhao Jie liked drawing.

She often drew some anime and video game characters, as well as some fan art.

At this moment, Zhao Jie’s phone rang.

“Is this Zhao Jie? If you want to rejoin that project, come to Dahua Hotel tomorrow night, we’ll talk.”

After saying that, the call ended.

Zhao Jie’s face looked a bit troubled.

It was so late, she knew full well why the other party wanted her to go to the hotel.

Back then, this guy had always been ogling her figure.

He had tempted her several times.

Although Zhao Jie loved art, she didn’t want to trade her body at the time.

But now, the other party used their position in the entertainment industry to continuously suppress her.

This caused Zhao Jie to hit a wall everywhere, unable to find a project for quite a while.

Ye Chen asked, “Who called you?”

“It was the manager of that project. He wants me at the hotel.”

Ye Chen squinted his eyes slightly, “Going to the hotel this late?”

Zhao Jie blushed, “He wants me to discuss things at the hotel.”

Ye Chen sneered, “Discuss things this late, what could be discussed?”

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhao Jie said helplessly, “This is the entertainment industry.”

Zhao Jie seemed to worry about Ye Chen.

“Don’t worry, I won’t go.”

Ye Chen smiled lightly upon hearing that, “Why not go.”

“Ah.” Zhao Jie was stunned.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, how about I accompany you.”

Only then did Zhao Jie nod.

Ye Chen drove Zhao Jie to the Dahua Hotel.

The two of them entered the private room, seeing a pot-bellied man at the dining table, eagerly looking at Zhao Jie.

But when he saw another man beside her, his expression suddenly changed.

“Little Jie, didn’t I say you should come alone?”

Ye Chen smiled faintly, “It’s fine, you guys can talk, I won’t interrupt.”

Saying this, Ye Chen sat down and started picking food for himself.

Zhao Jie said embarrassedly, “President Lü, this is my friend. It’s so late, he was worried, so he came with me.”

Lü Gang said coldly, “Worried? Worried about me?”

Holding a chicken leg, Ye Chen happily said, “Do you think you’re reassuring with such an oily face?”

“You.” Lü Gang’s expression changed slightly.

But upon seeing Ye Chen wearing a delivery uniform, Lü Gang snorted disdainfully.

Just a delivery guy, as good as trash in his eyes.

He had already planned on getting Zhao Jie drunk and then having the bodyguards throw Ye Chen out.

Just a delivery guy anyway.

With a smile on his face, Lü Gang said, “Little Jie, the last project’s situation was a misunderstanding. We can discuss it properly, the project can still be yours.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jie had a delighted look on her face.

That project had taken so much of her effort, seeing it near success, only to be kicked out. It was very distressing for her.

Lü Gang poured a glass of wine, saying, “Why don’t you drink this glass of wine, and I’ll make you the lead on this project again.”

“This.” Zhao Jie looked at the glass of wine, feeling a bit troubled.

Many had heard about Lü Gang frequently spiking drinks.

So drinking this wine could have unpredictable consequences.

“President Lü, I’m sorry, I don’t drink.” Zhao Jie said.

“Don’t drink? Just this one glass, it’s fine.”

The others then chimed in, “President Lü offered a drink, you should not refuse.”

“This is just one glass, what’s the big deal?”

“Little Jie, this is an opportunity for you.”

Lü Gang approached Zhao Jie.

“Little Jie, just be good and drink this glass.”

Inside, Zhao Jie felt very wronged.

She made a living through her skills, but now she had to please this old man.

Seeing that Zhao Jie neither spoke nor drank, Lü Gang’s expression changed suddenly.

“You little girl, don’t play hard to get, you must drink this glass, whether you want to or not.”

Saying this, he placed the wine in front of Zhao Jie.

“Yes, you must drink this wine today.”

The others also joined in the chorus.

Becoming teary-eyed, Zhao Jie felt very helpless inside.

But just then, a big hand grabbed the wine away.

And it was poured onto Lü Gang’s face.

“If you like drinking, have it all yourself.”

Lü Gang, with his soaked face, was dumbfounded.

“You, you dare splash me?”

“Security, where’s the security?”

Ye Chen snorted coldly, “So what if I splashed you?”

At that moment, a dozen security guards rushed in.

Zhao Jie’s expression slightly changed.

Because Ye Chen came for her, if he got hurt, she would feel very guilty.

“President Lü, I’ll drink it, okay? Just let Brother Ye Chen go.”

Ye Chen smirked slightly, “Don’t worry, this kind of trash, I won’t be afraid.”

With a teasing look at Lü Gang, he said, “Are you sure you want to lay hands on me?”

Lü Gang snorted coldly, “If you leave now, I’ll let you off.”

Ye Chen nodded, “Indeed, if you leave now, I can give you a chance.”

“You…”

Lü Gang nodded, “Boy, you’re asking for it.”

Ye Chen said, “How about I make a call?”

Lü Gang snorted, “You want to call for help, right? Go ahead, I want to see who you can call!”

Ye Chen took out his phone, “Old Wang, isn’t Starlight Film and Television under your wing? Your manager here wants someone to beat me up!”
