The Insignifcant Female Supporting Character Actually Became a Bigshot in the Novel!

72 Invest in a Variety Show

Jiang Ran’s heart was in turmoil. After all, Zhao Fei was the only good friend she had.

Jiang Ran knew that Zhao Fei liked Ling Feng, so when Zhao Fei asked her to frame Xi Wan, she had wanted to help Zhao Fei get back at Xi Wan.

But thinking about it now, did Zhao Fei really treat her as her best friend? She was probably just using her as a weapon.

Jiang Ran’s IQ had never been high, but she was smart for once in this matter. Regardless of how Xi Wan knew about Zhao Fei, Jiang Ran would never forgive Zhao Fei for lying to her and ruining her reputation in the entertainment industry.

When Xi Wan left the cafe, the system floated out unsteadily and asked: [Why did you say those things to Jiang Ran?]

“Am I not allowed to say those words?”

[Not really, but if you say that, isn’t it the same as ruining the relationship between Jiang Ran and the female protagonist then?] The system was a little worried.

In the original plot, Jiang Ran and the female protagonist were best friends until the end. However, because of Xi Wan, the system was not sure what the final outcome would be.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not a bad thing if their relationship really breaks down.” Xi Wan said, “Even if Jiang Ran can’t react now, she’ll definitely find out who dragged her into this matter in the future. I might as well give her a hint right now. One must know how to be grateful. If she can understand this now, she will definitely thank me in the future.”

After signing the contract, Xi Wan had nothing else to do. She returned to the villa to continue supervising the design of the greenhouse. She then sat on the rocking chair on the balcony and drank tea while waiting for the gathering the next day.

At noon the next day, Xi Wan wore a very ordinary women’s suit and arrived at Hongyue Hotel.

Li Yang saw Xi Wan at first glance and invited her to the main seat as he said warmly, “Miss Xi, please have a seat.”

He did not address Xi Wan as ‘Mrs. Su’, which meant that he had taken a fancy to Xi Wan’s personal ability.

Xi Wan looked at the main seat and was still hesitant at first. “No, isn’t that seat for the director?”

Li Yang laughed, and the director also stood up and said, “Miss Xi, please take a seat.”

When Xi Wan saw this, she stopped acting and sat down directly. “Since it’s a small gathering for the crew today, why did you invite me here? I’ve already left the entertainment industry a long time ago so I definitely won’t be participating in your variety show.”

Li Yang and the director laughed. “Miss Xi, you’re very famous in the entertainment industry. Even if you really don’t want to participate in our variety show, we’d still like to find a chance to get to know you.”

The two of them laughed obsequiously, looking exactly like lackeys.

Xi Wan hated people like this the most. However, if she could use this opportunity to push Jiang Ran in, it would be a good thing for her. Hence, she said straightforwardly, “You invited me here because you want me to invest in you, right? I can agree to your proposal but I have one condition. You have to let my company’s artiste participate in this variety show.”

The director did not ask who this person was, in detail. When he heard that Xi Wan was willing to invest, he immediately smiled and said, “Thank you, Miss Xi! I can let her in no matter who the artiste from your company is.”

“Jiang Ran.” Xi Wan slowly uttered a name.

The director was stunned. “Jiang Ran? Didn’t she leave the entertainment industry?”

Xi Wan said, “It’s just that her contract was terminated by her previous company and she has no place to go. I appreciate her and signed her on as my own artiste. Is there anything wrong with that?”

The director immediately replied. “It’s fine! I’m not worried as long as it’s someone recommended by Miss Xi!”

“Alright, it’s a deal then.” With that said, Xi Wan stood up and was about to leave.

The director stopped her. “Miss Xi, you haven’t eaten yet? ”

Xi Wan replied, “You guys didn’t ask me to come over to eat but to invest. Now that we’ve negotiated the investment, there’s no need for me to stay here any longer.”

The director and Li Yang looked at each other until Xi Wan’s figure disappeared completely.

“Although Xi Wan left the industry in a high-profile manner, I still have some respect for her. Didn’t the rumors always said that she’s a weak and incompetent woman?” The director was a little surprised. “What happened to her recently? Has she changed? She has become much more straightforward and efficient in getting things done.”

Li Yang said, “She’s Su Xun’s wife. Don’t you know what kind of person Su Xun is? She’s been by Su Xun’s side for so long so she should be able to learn some of Su Xun’s imposing manner.”
