Chapter 5 I'll do anything to save Sasha!
"Brother Zhang, this outfit is great. Sister Yafei and I both think it fits us perfectly. Sister Yafei asked me to thank you in person, and I think that's right."
"Or, Brother Zhang, how about I treat you to dinner?"
Yu Chengliang's voice is really annoying.
"What exactly do you want to say?" My stomach started to ache again, so I could only squat on the ground to ease the pain a little.
Yu Chengliang laughed: "Brother Zhang, you're so insightful."
A smug and boastful voice reached my ears: "Brother Zhang, I only found out yesterday that this outfit was designed by a famous designer. It's priceless and there are only three sets in our entire country!"
"Sister Yafei is so good to you!"
My hand holding the phone trembled slightly, but I forced myself to remain silent and didn't respond to him, nor did I interrupt him.
I know.
Yu Chengliang's ability to call me at this time must have been at Song Yafei's behest.
The mistress, who had been in power for nearly three years, didn't have the guts to do anything particularly outrageous behind Song Yafei's back.
This phone call is most likely to be about money.
Sure enough, Yu Chengliang's next words confirmed my guess.
"Then I won't beat around the bush with Brother Zhang. Sister Yafei said she was very satisfied with your sensible behavior yesterday and wants you to keep it up."
My phone suddenly fell to the ground.
What does she mean by this? Didn't she say she would transfer money to me?
"What did you say?"
I can't believe Song Yafei would do something like this.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Chengliang's cheerful voice sounded as if it were under a spell.
“Brother Zhang, if you have some free time, why don’t you help with the post-production and marketing for my new drama? I heard from Sister Yafei that you used to be quite good at this.”
My heart grew colder and colder.
I have painted pictures for Song Yafei, made posters for her, designed clothes and jewelry for her, and taken care of all her needs.
But I never imagined that day would come.
He then used all the skills he had learned for her on the third and fourth people between us.
I don't know how I got to the entrance of Yu Chengliang's studio, and I've forgotten how I agreed to it.
All I know is that I have to save Sasha. I'll do anything to save Sasha!
As I got off the bus, I felt a lump in my throat and coughed violently.
I covered my mouth, trying to suppress this inappropriate noise.
As I pulled my hand back, I saw faint traces of blood at the tips of my fingers.
I took a sudden step back.
"Brother Zhang, over here."
A young man waved and walked toward me.
He must be Yu Chengliang's assistant.
I met him a few times at Song Yafei's place.
It was Song Yafei who personally found Yu Chengliang.
He didn't seem to have any prejudice against me.
The main point is that I am, after all, the legal wife, while his boss is ultimately his dishonorable mistress.
Or perhaps, only those at the very bottom can see my emaciated appearance, which seems abnormal.
"Brother Zhang, I'd appreciate it if you could make the trip yourself."
"It's nothing." I put my hands in my pockets and rubbed them vigorously on the fabric.
Xiao Chen either didn't see it, or he did see it but pretended it didn't happen.
This is a rule that everyone in their line of work understands.
He smiled and led me into Yu Chengliang's office.
Yu Chengliang was sitting in the main seat at a mahogany conference table.
On either side are the staff in this studio, who are completely dedicated to serving him.
There are nearly twenty people involved, from publicity to daily management.
Looking at the packed conference room, I thought I had gone to the wrong place.
Yu Chengliang waved his hand, gesturing for me to walk up to him.
His casual manner of greeting her didn't seem like he was meeting a respectable sugar daddy's partner; it was more like he was greeting a kitten or puppy.
I frowned and walked over.
Seeing how obedient I was, Yu Chengliang laughed even more wildly and unrestrainedly: "Brother Zhang, look, it's all fate, even you have your day."
I lowered my voice and even bent down slightly to match his height: "Mr. Yu."
Upon hearing the words "Mr. Yu," Yu Chengliang immediately stood up from his chair, his smile beaming with pride.
"Brother Zhang is the best at this."
He turned to the others in the office, pointing as if he were surveying an empire: "Look at this! This is power."
He patted my shoulder.
As if that wasn't enough, she patted my cheek.
I tolerated it.
For two million.
endured.
I lowered my head, trying hard to hide the humiliation on my face.
The nearly twenty people sitting in the office all lowered their heads.
Xiao Chen was in a corner, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.
"Brother Liang, Mr. Zhang is, after all,..."
"What is he?" Yu Chengliang scoffed. "A good-for-nothing who can't even come up with two million and has to grovel and fawn over his wife to get out of a tight spot?"
Everyone looked grim.
I knew about Yu Chengliang's flamboyance from the very beginning.
After following Song Yafei for three months, he openly squeezed out a large number of people and successfully became one of the regulars in Song Yafei's villa, and also successfully moved into my and Song Yafei's home.
I knew his arrogance and greed the first time I met him.
I did care about it at the time.
Later, I stopped caring.
Now, I care even less.
As long as it can cure Sasha's illness, no amount of humiliation is anything more than a nuisance to clear my ears.
I ignored the embarrassment of the people next to me, and I also ignored Yu Chengliang's harsh words.
"Mr. Yu, what do I need to do?"
Yu Chengliang heard my voice, looked at me for a long time, and then realized that I genuinely wanted to ask for his opinion.
He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is it really worth it for such a small amount of money?"
"How about this, like I said before, I'll give you two million, and you'll let me and Sister Yafei be together, wouldn't that be great?"
I don't know if it's good or not.
All I know is that Song Yafei is clearly determined to wear me down to the end.
If I really do what Yu Chengliang said, my fate will be absolutely terrible!
"Just give me your instructions, and I will do my best to fulfill them."
"Trying your best isn't enough."
Yu Chengliang was not satisfied, saying, "This is my first drama, and I hope to win an award with it."
