I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

Chapter 578: Your Boyfriend Isn’t From the Industry, Right?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She could understand why the rule was in place.

Three years was barely enough to transform a complete newbie into a proper artiste.

The company would definitely wish for the artiste to focus on the training during the period.

It wouldn’t be good if the artiste became too caught up in relationship matters and lost focus.

Actors wouldn’t have this issue as men were more rational.

But actresses might be too caught up in their relationships.

This might cause them to lose focus on their career.

The company merely set the rule as they didn’t want the effort they put into training the artiste to be wasted.

“Hmm.” Linda could anticipate what Qiao Mianmian was about to say. But she held back her curiosity and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I’ve to be honest with you.” Qiao Mianmian said directly, “I can’t fulfill that criterion. To be honest, I have a boyfriend at the moment, and I’m not breaking up with him. So...”

Breaking up with Mo Yesi over a contract?

Qiao Mianmian felt that she would die on the bed as she thought about how possessive he was.

She would never try that.

If Linda was willing to accept her relationship status, they could continue with the contract negotiation.

If she wasn’t willing to accept, there wasn’t a need for further discussion.

Qiao Mianmian thought that Linda would give a second thought. She thought that Linda might even cancel the contract.

But Linda didn’t appear unhappy when she heard what Qiao Mianmian said.

Qiao Mianmian even saw her eyes lit up.

It was the exact reaction when Jiang Luoli heard about some juicy gossip.

She didn’t know what to say.

Why was Linda so curious about the gossip?

Shouldn’t she be unhappy that Qiao Mianmian had a boyfriend? Shouldn’t she be trying to convince Qiao Mianmian to break up?

There were many examples of artistes breaking up with their partners for the sake of their future, after all.

“Your boyfriend, are you referring to the guy who sent you here in the Rolls Royce?” Linda tried to maintain her composure and asked. But Qiao Mianmian already saw through her intention.

Qiao Mianmian replied, “No, that was his chauffeur.”

Linda nodded in response.

Having a chauffeur was definitely normal if you were rich.

“Your boyfriend, he isn’t from the industry, right?” Linda asked casually. She was sure that the guy wasn’t from the industry.

She would have noticed and developed him if he was.

It was impossible not to know him.

Furthermore, with his good looks, it wouldn’t take much effort to make him popular.

“Yes, he isn’t from the industry,” Qiao Mianmian answered. She decided that she wasn’t going to be completely honest with Linda and said, “He has a small business. He and I... we’re really close, and I don’t plan to end the relationship for this.

“Hence, if you are not willing to accept the fact that I have a boyfriend, the contract...”

Linda was speechless.

The two Rolls Royces were limited edition models and could easily fetch tens of millions.

How could he just be operating a small business?

But she could understand that Qiao Mianmian wasn’t obliged to be completely honest with her.

She pretended to believe her lie and nodded. She then continued, “If that’s the case... Since you two were already together before the contract, it would be horrible of me to break you guys up.”
