Chapter 16: Hope and Despair Were Two Completely Different Words

In Sun President office.

"Achooooo!"

Ford sneezed.

"Boss, do you catch a cold?" Jeffrey asked.

Ford expressionlessly replied, "Someone is scolding me."

When did boss become a fortuneteller?

Ford pulled open the drawer and saw the divorce agreement lying quietly inside. His fingertips paused. Didn't she always like to pretend to be a pure lady in front of him? Why did she look like a different person?

He actually felt that it was a little interesting.

Jeffrey who was standing beside him, widened his eyes. His boss just smiled.

He worked for Ford for so long, but he had never seen him laugh inexplicably in private.

Even on a normal day, Ford hardly smiled. Jeffrey's curiosity was instantly aroused. He secretly stood on tiptoe to see what Ford was seeing. He narrowed his eyes and saw the familiar contract.

'Divorce agreement?'

So the reason why his boss laughed so loudly was because he was too excited to get rid of his wife? However, compared to his Julia, he did not like Ana more.

When Jeffrey thought of Ana, he felt scared. Ana was so capable of crying and being so delicate. She was like a blue and white porcelain faucet. Have you ever seen a switch made of porcelain? That couldn't be twisted. Otherwise, it would shatter.

He looked at Ford , with his eyes shining with admiration. His boss was so good looking. His eyes were like stars, and his lips were thin and red. In addition, the mole beneath his eyelids was truly amazing!

In Jeffrey's eyes, no one was worthy of being Ford's wife in the world!

....

Julia was so angry that she couldn't sleep that night, so she took two sleeping pills at the midnight before she sleep.

The next afternoon, Lily called her. 'Delicious Life' had been officially launched. Lily told Julia to pack her luggage and send her to the airport tomorrow morning.

In the morning, Lily arrived on time. In the car, Lily started to curse the show. It turned out that because of the low ratings of the previous season, the program team had added a new idea this time. The investors would have to use their brains to transform a two—story building. They only have 100,000 yuan for the transformation.

What did a hundred thousand dollars mean?

We could take ordinary restaurants for example. In a third—tier city, to have a two—storey fashionable restaurant that could accommodate 30 tables needed 300,000 to 600,000 yuan.

The show crew's stunt this season was to complete an impossible mission. Because of the sudden release of Julia's Scandal, the show's popularity was increased significantly.

However, the program crew was too cunning. They only needed Julia to shoot the 20—day episode, and only paid her 50,000 yuan.

The first episode was about how to use 100,000 yuan to decorate a restaurant with Beijing flavor in foreign countries. In other words, Julia's episode was the hardest one, and after that, the program team would kick her off and exchanged her for other female stars.

Moreover, Lily knew that the five people in the same episode were given priority to renewing their contracts. The lowest fee was 200,000 yuan for one episode. The program crew was so prejudiced .

Nonetheless, Julia didn't care. What she could endure the most was bitterness. When she was a child, she had changed three families. She was silent and willing to work, but all of them abandoned her. In the past, she couldn't figure it out, but she understood later. If she didn't go through the social beatings, how could she be evil?

Julia had a deep understanding of social apathy before she was 13 years old. Fortunately, when she was 13, she was once again abandoned and sent to Sichen Welfare Institute by a care institution.

She met two people who loved her, and her gloomy life instantly was brightened. She had a real home, and she had truly experienced the affection of her family for three years. Not long after, 16—year—old Julia encountered something that was enough to destroy her.

One person who loved her used his shoulders to help her. The other one disappeared. She deeply remembered that 'hope' and 'despair' were two completely different words.

She only wanted to earn more money.

Lily was indignant as she drove, "This crew is so shameless. If it really doesn't work, we won't record it."

"Then do we have anything else to do?"

"No....!"

Julia sighed deeply, "That's enough. I don't have the qualifications to choose." She looked out of the window. The endless stream of cars were following the rules. There were rules in all walks of life, and there were rules in the entertainment industry as well. Being scolded also meant that she was popular. Only having popularity could she have resources, and resources equalized money.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Lily's phone rang. She pressed down on the car's Bluetooth and called out briskly, "Hello."

"Lily, didn't you say last time that Julia's schedule is empty now?"

Lily's face lit up as she looked at Julia and silently said quietly, "There's a chance!"

"Yes."

"I have a play about the Qing Dynasty. Are you interested?"

"Yes, yes. Julia is really beautiful wearing ancient costume. Don't worry. Whether it's the woman who can destroy a nation or a prostitute, Julia will impress you."

Previously, Julia's roles were all villains.

The director smiled and said, "It's not these unscrupulous roles."

"Is that a good person? A good person is also extremely suitable for Julia. She didn't have a chance in the past. If she had a chance, she could act well."

Lily was praising Julia, and the director could not help but cough twice to interrupt her. "It's a role of a maid."

Maid!

Lily was stunned for a moment, then thought that the rate of appearance of some of the maids was pretty high. "Is the role important?" She asked.

The director said, "She's useful for the plot."

"Does she have a lot of lines?"

"Hmm, not too much. Just five sentences."

Five sentences?

Lily was disappointed but asked curiously, "What does she say in five sentences?"

The director said carelessly "Young miss, madam is here. Young miss, master is here. Young miss, third young miss is here. Young miss, general is here."

What kind of crap is this?

"Are you mocking at me?" Lily suddenly got furious. She had promised that she would give the director 8888 yuan as long as it worked.

The director said slowly, "Ah, I know the character's lines are quite few, but the rewards are quite good. Julie only have 13 shooting, and it can be filmed in a few days. The producer paid 50,000 yuan."

Fifty thousand was indeed pretty high for this character, and the shooting time was also short.

Lily felt that she could consider it. She asked, "There's still one sentence left!"

The director hesitated and said, "Miss, don't beat me to death."

Lily and Julia exchanged glances.

What!
