Sure enough, when he came over that evening, he was carrying a pot of chicken soup.
"Xiao Ling, I made this chicken soup especially for you. Drink it while it's hot."
After we started dating, he said he was a kitchen disaster and never made anything for me to eat.
Usually, I was the one handling his three meals a day, but now he broke that precedent.
It's just that this chicken soup is probably poisoned.
I tried to manage my expression, placing the chicken soup aside, and pretended to be touched: "Bring me the files from the outer room. I've arranged a lead role in a multimillion-dollar production for you."
Hearing this, Gu Shi's eyes lit up instantly, and he turned to run to the outer room.
Seizing the moment when he was gone, I immediately poured the soup into the trash and put the bowl back in place.
When he returned to the room and saw the empty bowl, a barely noticeable look of triumph flashed across his face.
Sure enough, he really had no intention of leaving me a way out!
I held the contract, deliberately showing a conflicted expression. "The pay is really a bit low, only ten million. Maybe we should forget it. I'll try to get you a deal with higher pay."
Gu Shi panicked and hurriedly snatched the contract from my hands.
Even though he had become tremendously popular, appearing in numerous shows and productions, the pay for all combined wasn't as high as for this movie.
He couldn't wait to sign his name.
Indeed, Gu Shi's eyes were only on the multimillion-dollar lead role.
But what he didn't know was that the contract also contained a punitive clause.
All actors who join the cast, if they encounter negative rumors after signing, will face a hundredfold compensation and be banned across the entire industry!
This punitive clause was something I specifically had the investors add for him.
It's also the gift I gave to Gu Shi for betraying me.
Gu Shi then used the excuse of washing dishes to go to the bathroom.
Ping, a new message popped up on the tablet.
"Did she drink the chicken soup?"
"She drank it all, not a drop left. Are you sure the poison will really turn her into a madwoman within seven days?" Gu Shi replied.
The other party not only gave a positive answer but also shared a set of videos.
A madwoman tied to a pole by chains was sitting in a metal cage chuckling foolishly.
"Once she turns crazy like this, I can help you build an image of someone who stays through thick and thin. By then, you can become popular again!"
Looking at their horrifying conversation, I calmed myself and then sent all the chat records to the lawyer.
