Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 347: The Birth of a Drama Queen

Qin Kaize smiled and introduced, "This is Wen Xuran. He helped delay Su Xinyue’s visit to the Discipline Inspection Office yesterday."

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Wen Xuran quickly greeted respectfully. Then he turned to Qin Kaize with a look of grievance. "Boss, you have no idea how hard I had it! Yesterday, I had to practically sell my charm to hold Su Xinyue back. The way she looked at me, I thought she was going to eat me alive." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Wen Xuran hugged his shoulders and made a pitiful face. Despite his handsome appearance, he came across as quite the comedic character, making Su Yijia unable to suppress a giggle.

"Sister-in-law, you also think I was wronged, right? Boss, I strongly request compensation," Wen Xuran said, looking at Qin Kaize with a sense of entitlement.

Qin Kaize raised an eyebrow. "Let’s hear it."

"Just have me join you in whatever you do! My parents’ arranged job isn’t what I want. Following you is far more exciting," Wen Xuran said, flashing a grin at Qin Kaize.

Qin Kaize frowned and did not immediately agree. However, after Su Yijia gave him a few thoughtful glances, she suddenly thought of a role that would suit Wen Xuran perfectly.

Wen Xuran waited for several seconds, seeing Qin Kaize’s lack of response, and then turned to Su Yijia with a pleading look. "Sister-in-law, could you please speak on my behalf? I really want to follow you and the boss; doing anything else just seems dull."

"You have a very lively personality," Qin Kaize said, rejecting the request coldly. He had left the team partly because of his own temperament.

Wen Xuran awkwardly touched his nose and then negotiated, "Boss, you could assign me to do tasks like yesterday."

"Constantly selling your charm? If you’re willing, I won’t be able to find that many tasks for you," Qin Kaize snorted dismissively.

Su Yijia quickly had a fleeting thought but dismissed it, mentally offering a prayer to avoid affecting her merits. Listening to the offbeat conversation, she thought of Wang Fengsong in Jingdu City, who was nearly forty, living alone after her husband left shortly after marriage. Such wealthy women often liked young, handsome men.

However, to woo such a woman, real effort was needed. Su Yijia did not want a decent person like Wen Xuran to be used by a toxic spider.

"Sister-in-law, why don’t you help me find a job?" Wen Xuran said, feeling that Qin Kaize might not be reliable but believing that Su Yijia, with her kind demeanor, wouldn’t refuse him.

"Finding a job for you is beyond my current capabilities, but I do think I have one that might suit you," Su Yijia teased with a smile.

"What is it?" Wen Xuran’s eyes lit up.

Not wanting to change her mind, he hurriedly added, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’m not picky. Whatever you have me do, I’ll do. I’m very obedient."

"An actor," Su Yijia said, not keeping him in suspense. Wen Xuran’s already bright eyes shone even more.

"Yes! That job is definitely right for me!" he nodded vigorously. Then he seemed to remember something and looked visibly disappointed. "But if I become a movie star, I won’t be able to help the boss and sister-in-law."

"That may be true, but if you become a famous movie star, I’m sure there will be plenty of things you can assist with here," Su Yijia said with a slight, mysterious smile.

Wen Xuran looked at her for a moment, then seemed to make an important decision, nodding decisively. "Okay, I’ll become an actor."

"Do you know how to do that? Do you have connections?" Su Yijia asked, surprised.

The film industry was quite small, and becoming an actor was challenging.

"Yes! It’s not that difficult. My mom and aunt are with Cultural Troupe. My aunt has acted in two films already, so getting a chance for me to audition is not a problem. If I perform well, I won’t have trouble with this career," Wen Xuran said proudly.

After discussing these matters, Su Yijia and Qin Kaize stayed in Hu City for another two days until the 5,000 bottles of Whitening Lotion and 2,000 bottles of Hair Growth Solution were delivered. They collected the payment from Qiu Yanqing, gave the delivery driver an extra fifty yuan as a tip, and then bought their return train tickets.

"Sister-in-law, if you’re leaving tomorrow, what about the refining business?" Gao Huabin and Zhu Zirui asked with concern.

Although this wasn’t a profit-making venture for them, they were excited about the earnings and eager to do more.

"For the crops, let Xu Lian handle it; I’ve already discussed it with him. As for the oil, since you’re managing it now, I’ll take only 30% of the profits, and you two can split the remaining 70%," Su Yijia said.

She wasn’t someone who would claim money while being hands-off. In the future, she would gradually move to a more passive role in her business ventures.

"Sister-in-law, this is too little," Gao Huabin immediately protested.

Before he could nudge Zhu Zirui to speak up, Zhu Zirui said first, "Sister-in-law, how about 70% for you and 30% for us? Xu Lian was someone you found and taught us the refining process. We should only be getting a salary."

Su Yijia looked at them and confirmed they felt she was giving too little. She smiled gently. "Alright, it’s a 50-50 split. You don’t need to argue further. However, if you need to find others to help in the future, remember to pay them properly."

Gao Huabin still thought the share was too much but reluctantly accepted, seeing Su Yijia’s firm attitude.

"Also, keep an eye on Xu Lian and his family. Make sure they aren’t bullied. The news will be announced in a week, and I won’t be here. Remember to find jobs for his family and arrange for his sister to attend school," Su Yijia instructed.

Once she promised something, she intended to fulfill it without neglect.
