Chapter 755: Relentless—A Long Way Ahead
The reason Yun Jian kept quiet was because she knew that Qin Yirou and Si Yi would reject it for her. She had never thought of venturing into the show business.
Slaying God who ranked first in the international secret agent chart going into the entertainment world to fight for fame and roles with celebrities?
If words got out, international tycoons and politicians or Yun Jian’s old friends would have a good hearty laugh about it!
Zhao Zhengmin panicked a little at that. It was not his plan to give up on an exceptional potential talent like Yun Jian, so his eyes flitted about and he came up with a new persuasion. “It’s not the old feudal times now. Children should have their own opinion. You rejected me but what if your daughter has the wish to? Are you not asking her opinion?”
As he spoke, Zhao Zhengmin looked toward Yun Jian, obviously having forgotten all about what Si Yi said earlier.
Perhaps to the man, Si Yi was intimidating but for his job and to accomplish his goal, he was willing to go to any length. Moreover, people now saw actors as opera performers—the lower class of society—but children did not share the same sentiment.
The younger generation now had taken some actors as their idols despite the older generation that still looked down on the same trope of artists.
Hence, Zhao Zhengmin thought that Qin Yirou did not know better. However, younger generations, such as Yun Jian, would understand it. After all, it was a good opportunity; some people did not even have the chance even though they wished to step into the showbiz.
Qin Yirou was well aware of Yun Jian’s thoughts but since Zhao Zhengmin threw the question out, she asked Yun Jian to get the matter over with.
“Xiao Jian, speak your mind,” Qin Yirou told Yun Jian.
After Qin Yirou looked at Yun Jian, the others shifted their gazes to her as well with Zhao Zhengmin brimming with confidence.
Any young person who was better looking nowadays intended to go into the show business while the older generation still had their prejudice against the profession of acting.
Frankly, talent scouts like Zhao Zhengmin looked for naïve young girls. Young girls who did not know anything were their target as they were gullible. One could become an idol who dazzled in popularity and was loved by all when they ventured into showbiz—this was Zhao Zhengmin’s selling point when he coaxed naïve little girls.
The man did not believe that a pretty girl like Yun Jian would not have the slightest intention to go into show business.
“No thanks.” Two simple words summarized Yun Jian’s decision. Her words nipped Zhao Zhengmin’s thought in the bud directly.
“Oh, okay.” Zhao Zhengmin looked utterly disappointed.
Before he could continue, Si Yi led Yun Jian to the fitting room.
“Yi, where are you going?” Qin Yirou asked when she saw that.
“To get changed.” Si Yi glanced at the wedding dress Yun Jian wore before answering Qin Yirou. It was because of the gown that they invited trouble, so he wanted her out of it. Yun Jian’s beauty was only his to admire.
“This boy…” Qin Yirou started softly, noting Si Yi’s ruffled tone.
“Let them be. Let’s choose your dress now!” Dong Ruan chortled and pulled Qin Yirou to continue picking out gowns.
Zhao Zhengmin who stood his spot watched Si Yi tug Yun Jian into the fitting room while he remained completely ignored! He clenched his fists where no one could see and gritted his teeth.
Whether it was for him or his company, he would not let go of such a beauty! He would not stop here! They had a long way ahead!
