Chapter 107: The Stepping Stone
Bian Yue also smiled gently, leisurely observing Yao Yimin, "Miss Yao appears even more elegant and refined than I imagined, truly stunning."
Yao Yimin chuckled mildly.
She tossed the script onto the table, and spoke again, this time without the courtesy she had shown in the presence of Wang Dan’an, "President Bian, I see that you’ve invested a lot in this project, and with Shi An’an’s delay, I suppose the costs must have skyrocketed, right?"
Bian Yue smiled slightly: "I believe this project will be profitable."
"President Bian’s collaboration with President Wang, casting me as the lead, while simultaneously squeezing my salary to cut costs, such moves will naturally show a profit," Yao Yimin maintained her smile, but her words dripped with sarcasm, "President Bian, you truly are the best business person I’ve ever met."
Bian Yue sensed there was more to the story, but didn’t expect Wang Dan’an to be so underhanded.
"The salary you agreed with Wang Dan’an wasn’t clear through my end; in fact, Wang Dan’an has almost given you to me for free."
Her words were harsh, causing Yao Yimin’s expression to stiffen, her eyes reddening as she looked at Bian Yue resentfully: "President Bian is a wealthy heiress, investing in projects and starting companies just as a pastime, but I treasure my work!"
An An, who was sitting by the side, couldn’t bear to listen anymore and retorted: "What does your unfair treaty with Wang Dan’an have to do with President Bian!"
Bian Yue raised her hand to stop An An from continuing, and brewed a cup of tea for Yao Yimin, softly saying, "Miss Yao, I also value my work and I’m certainly not just passing the time. But I wonder, if you’re unwilling, why sign up for this project?"
