Night fell and the city came alive with light .
The sky was dark when Xu Xiyan woke up . She sat up on the sofa, folded up her blanket, and then set it aside .
She walked out from the lounging room and saw Wandou still at the front desk, working overtime . “Wandou, you're not off work yet?”
“Miss Jing Xi, you're awake . ” Wandou peeked over the front desk and said with a smile, “President Xiao is still working so I'm still working too . Overtime work . ”
Xu Xiyan: “…”
To be honest, Xu Xiyan had never felt that there was any need for overtime work in this company . The company was usually empty and there wasn't much business . Why the need for overtime?
“Oh right, Miss Jing Xi, President Xiao wanted you to go see her in her office after you woke up,” Wandou said .
“Okay . ”
Xu Xiyan went straight to the president's office, and knocked on the door before pushing it open . “Qianqian, you wanted to see me?”
“Come over here, Yanyan . ”
Xiao Yuqian saw her enter and pointed at the chair in front of her . Xu Xiyan came over and sat down, waiting for her to speak .
“Since Jia Qing's case, you don't have to work on “Root of Evil” anymore . They've already sent your pay over . Here, you can check it . It's a total of 100,000 Yuan . ”
Xiao Yuqian pushed a large, bulging envelope towards Xu Xiyan . Surprised, Xu Xiyan picked up the envelope, opened it and looked inside . “Why is there so much money?”
Xu Xiyan had calculated her pay according to market salary for a stunt double . Even if she had been worked to death, it still wouldn't even amount to 10,000 Yuan . Why was there 100,000 Yuan now?
“The money is rightfully yours . Director Peng Sicheng calculated your pay so that it is a tenth of the lead actress' pay . He was probably pleased with your performance,” Xiao Yuqian explained .
“Qianqian, I'm now an artist of Jingyue Entertainment . The money should be divided between me and the company . I can't have this much . ”
Xu Xiyan thought carefully . Since the money was being received after she joined Jingyue, it was only right that the company took a cut .
Moreover, she hadn't brought in a single penny for the company after being part of it for so long and she felt bad about it .
“No need . Just keep it, you've earned it with your own hard work . When you've become big and famous, the company will be relying on you at that time . ” Xiao Yuqiao laughed .
Big and famous…
Xu Xiyan wouldn't think about it too much . Now, because of Jia Qing's death, she was fortunate that she hadn't been imprisoned . Her future was uncertain and she couldn't imagine herself being big and famous .
“All right, keep the money safe,” Xiao Yuqiao continued . “Since you don't have to work in either drama during this time, you should take time off and relax . ”
She had heard that Huang Yanran, the lead actress for “Root of Evil,” had returned . So the director had settled Xu Xiyan's pay and entrusted the money to Ma Haodong to bring it over to her .
Huang Guoqiang, the director of “Red Sleeved Beauty,” had also sent a notice to Xu Xiyan telling her to take a half-month off from shooting .
It was clear that because of her involvement with the murder case, the two film crews were afraid to hire her again .
Xu Xiyan was worried that if Jia Qing's case was not solved soon, her career would be ruined before she could even officially debut .
Now, she was more concerned about that matter . “When will the company be holding a press conference?”
“After three days . I'll contact you after I've made the arrangements . Don't worry, Yanyan . Everyone is working hard to clear your name and we will not let you be wronged . ”
“Okay then, I'm going home first . ” Xu Xiyan got up to leave .
“All right, let Wandou escort you downstairs and don't leave through the front entrance . Use the back door,” Xiao Yuqian specifically explained .
“Why?” Xu Xiyan asked, unsure .
