Chapter 1301: 1301

The occupants in the room turned their head toward the source of the voice . They saw the figure of a tall and imposing man at the door .

Li Jinnan gazed at the two women and walked in . His eyes, cold as a winter night, were directed at Ye Youyou .

Ye Youyou didn’t expect Li Jinnan to suddenly appear . When she heard his objection, she immediately rebutted, “I’m not a huge superstar to begin with . They won’t care about random actions of mine . ”

Li Jinnan’s expression was frank . He slowly looked away as he replied, “You aren’t that important . But, ‘The Lonely Swordsman’ is now a very popular serial drama . The actress who replaced you, Xu Yingying, has gained a huge following overnight . You were the original second lead . All eyes will be on the both of you . If it’s written that we’re favoring one and discriminating against the other, how do think that would make the company look?”

“It’s my own decision to get discharged . What has that got to do with the company?” Ye Youyou looked at Li Jinnan in displeasure . “You may be my boss, but you can’t be unreasonable to the point of making my personal decisions for me . I know my body best . I want to get discharged from the hospital . GM Li, this way, I’ll even be able to save you money on medical bills . ”

Li Jinnan turned to face her . His eyes were dark and cold . His tone was firm and permitted no disagreement as he said, “The medical bills won’t even dent the company’s expenses . ”

With that final word, he turned and left .

“GM Li!” Ye Youyou called out .

Li Jinnan did not stop .

“GM Li, hold on!” she shouted .

The individual walked out of the room and showed no intention of staying .

Ye Youyou hollered in exasperation, “Li Jinnan!”

There was no reaction whatsoever .

Ye Youyou bit her bottom lip and stared at the door . Anger churned within her .

“Youyou, I agree with what your boss said,” Ye Qianqian said . “Regardless of the situation, you need to prioritize your health and recovery . Don’t give up! Your original injuries were bad enough . If you don’t take care of your health, how will you continue acting in future? How will you regain your position in the industry?”

Ye Youyou didn’t reply . The grievances in her heart increased manifold . She had gotten injured by accident . Just like that, the part that she had worked so hard to get was given away to someone else . The original two episodes that she had filmed had been cut out and replaced with Xu Yingying’s scenes .

“The Lonely Swordsman” was a very popular novel to begin with . It had a huge fan base and an even larger advertising budget . The role of the second lead that she had landed had a distinctive personality and a positive image . Many rising starlets had clamored for the role . In fact, the role had attracted even the attention of the veterans .

She knew well how the role had landed on her lap . It was because of that fateful night and the strange combination of accidental mishaps . It was the night she had lost her chastity . That was what had gotten her the precious opportunity .

If word of what transpired got out, it would be what everyone called “the unspoken rule of the entertainment industry . ”

Ye Youyou was aware of it . But, her opportunity was gone now . No amount of regret was going to bring it back .

If she had successfully completed her role, it was likely that her net worth would have increased, along with it her public following .

Now, it was gone . Completely gone . All her hopes were dashed . Such an opportunity only came once in a lifetime .

Am I supposed to go on the “casting couch” once more for another chance?

Ye Youyou pursed her lips . Her eyes began to sting with unshed tears . She turned her head away and closed her eyes . In a low voice, she said, “Sis, I’m hungry . Can you get me some food?”

Ye Qianqian ended her tirade and replied, “Alright . Give me a moment . ”

Just as Ye Qianqian stepped out, she saw a man coming over from the distance .
