WBSGVS Chapter 92 V2-2

This is Chapter 92 V2

However, a few hours later, when they met Director Yan and secured Fu Qingli’s second female lead role, she calmed down.

After the contract was signed, Director Yan said, “You know, when I saw you yesterday, I thought you looked familiar, but now I remember—we worked together, didn’t we?”

Zheng Yue: “…”

So it was just her imagination! She wasn’t famous at all!

Before she could respond, Fu Qingli smiled and said, “You have a great memory! We worked together three years ago in one of your dramas. I played a small role. You even praised my crying scenes back then, but I was too shy to talk to you more.”

Zheng Yue was surprised to hear Fu Qingli speak so confidently. Director Yan chuckled happily: “You’ve changed. You’re even better than I expected.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Director Yan!” Fu Qingli replied calmly.

After they left, Zheng Yue’s mood dropped again, but she tried to comfort her: “Don’t be upset. It’s fine that Director Yan didn’t remember you. After this, he’ll remember you!”

The second female lead!

And the second female lead in Director Yan’s drama!

Wouldn’t the first female lead be far behind?

“I’m not upset,” Fu Qingli calmly shook her head. “But I hope that from now on, everyone I work with will never forget me.”

Zheng Yue felt a surge of excitement, ready to encourage her artist further, when Fu Qingli suddenly said, “Come with me somewhere?”

“Eh? Where?” The change in topic was so abrupt, Zheng Yue didn’t react quickly enough.

Fu Qingli said, “To look at a house.”

Zheng Yue: “??? Sister, this is Shanghai! Are you sure you can afford it?”

Fu Qingli smiled lightly, “It’s fine to just look, right?”

But when she said she wanted to look at a house, she didn’t mean buying—it was just to look.

In the original storyline, Su Tang’s family was ruined in her first life. But now, the Su family is almost as powerful as the Ye family. The Ye family hasn’t produced any extraordinary figures in this generation, so how could they manage to ruin the Su family?

The answer to this would be revealed later in the story.

At first, Su Tang didn’t know. She never cared about the family business. Even when the family went bankrupt, she barely noticed. But after being reborn, with just a bit of memory and luck, she met someone before everything exploded.

That person was involved in a fire caused by the negligence of the Su family’s renovation company.

Aside from the renovation company, the Su family also owned a real estate company. Due to poor supervision, the Su family’s construction projects used cheap, flammable foam material. When the fire broke out, it spread rapidly, causing an entire building to be affected.

But this event happened a year later. Because of this, the Su family tried to suppress it, but due to Su Tang’s actions, they couldn’t cover it up. The Ye family, through their influence, kept stoking the fire. Eventually, the situation escalated, and the Su family couldn’t handle it. The person in charge went to prison, and the Su family collapsed.

Su Tang happened to meet a relative of an elderly person during a volunteer event. Feeling compassionate, she offered to help by suggesting the elderly person’s grandson apply for a job at the Su family company. However, as soon as the relatives heard the name “Su family,” they immediately rejected the offer.

The young lady got angry and pressed the issue. Eventually, she found out about the Su family’s renovation and real estate scandals. Remembering her past life, she quickly informed her father, preventing the crisis before it could fully develop. Though they avoided disaster, the Su family was severely weakened.

This event almost led to a marriage arrangement for Su Tang, which put her relationship with Ji Yan in jeopardy. Fortunately, Ji Yan’s father had made a fortune from a successful game, and the Su family’s situation wasn’t as dire as in her previous life. Seeing Ji Yan’s potential, Su Tang’s father abandoned the idea of arranging her marriage.

But at this point, Su Tang didn’t know yet that the Su family hadn’t prepared for this. Even before this, there had been several accidents with their construction projects, but none of them resulted in deaths like the major incident in the story, so the issue didn’t get much attention.

The house Fu Qingli wanted to visit belonged to the Su family. She needed to scout the place to identify the main problem areas in their construction, so she could report them accurately.

Just a couple of days ago, Fu Qingli had seen a listing for a house in Shanghai on a real estate app, and it had been involved in a fire. Fortunately, the owner had strong fire safety awareness and had put it out in time.

The house in question was more likely to be dangerous.

Since she had already contacted them, Fu Qingli arrived and the owner, Mr. Wang, had specifically come to meet her. Also, there was an electrician Fu Qingli who had scheduled an appointment with nearby, whom she introduced as her friend.

The realtor introduced them: “This is Mr. Wang. They no longer live here, but if you decide to buy, you can move in right away. The house is mostly furnished.”

Mr. Wang looked at Fu Qingli but didn’t recognize her as a celebrity. He just thought she was pretty and looked at her a bit longer before saying, “Yes, we’re in a hurry to sell because we need the money. Let me know if you see anything wrong.”

Fu Qingli asked, “You mentioned the house caught fire. Where exactly was that?”

Mr. Wang smiled and said, “It was the kitchen. Come, I’ll show you.”

“Okay.” Fu Qingli followed him to the kitchen, where it was clear the area had been repaired, and nothing was visible.

Fu Qingli didn’t know much about renovations, so she didn’t comment. Instead, she had the electrician check everything and take photos of any potential issues. Mr. Wang thought they were taking pictures of a family member and didn’t stop them, speaking freely.

Once they finished inspecting, Fu Qingli said, “We’re quite satisfied with the house, but the price is a bit high. We need to discuss it with our family, so please don’t sell it to anyone else just yet.”

“Sure, sure,” Mr. Wang agreed with a smile.

The three of them left, and Zheng Yue, who hadn’t said much throughout the visit, couldn’t hold back anymore. “What exactly are you planning to do?”

She could tell Fu Qingli wasn’t planning to buy the house today, so she was curious.

Fu Qingli smiled and replied, “Nothing. You’ll find out later.”

She turned to the electrician, “How is the wiring here?”

“It’s not great. The outlets were installed haphazardly, and the wiring is a mess. I can only tell roughly, but to inspect it properly, we’d have to knock down the walls,” the electrician said, frowning. “I don’t recommend buying unless you have a big renovation budget. The whole building is probably using this kind of wiring, and if anything else goes wrong, it could affect everything.”

“Thank you, Master,” Fu Qingli said with a smile as she nodded.

Not all of the Su family’s properties had problems, just a small portion. She only needed to figure out which ones had issues.

The real problems would be handled by professionals, but identifying this neighborhood as a target was enough.

After paying the electrician, Fu Qingli pulled a confused Zheng Yue into the car. As soon as the car started, her phone rang. Looking down, she saw it was Ye Minxing.

She answered the call and heard his gentle voice: “Arli, have you calmed down? Can you come back now?”

Fu Qingli: “???”

She looked at her phone in confusion. It was Ye Minxing. She puzzled, “Did you just wake up? Or are you drunk?”

There was a pause on the other end, probably because he was frustrated, but he still calmly said, “Arli, we still have feelings for each other. You said my family treated you badly. I talked to them, and they’re willing to change. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Minmin. She’s not mad at you anymore. If that’s the case, we don’t need to divorce, right?”

Before Fu Qingli could respond, the phone switched hands, and Ye Minmin’s voice, a bit awkward and shy, came through. “Hello! I’m not mad at you anymore. I admit I was wrong before. Let’s call it even. Come back, and I’ll talk to my parents. I’ll say good things to them, but… but only if you sign a few things for me!”

“Pfft!” Fu Qingli laughed. She didn’t know what they were playing at, but she wasn’t interested in engaging. She raised her voice and said, “Forget it. I don’t give my signature to people I don’t like. Please let your brother know that I expect the divorce papers signed and delivered ASAP. Thanks.”

Ye Minmin: “??!? Hello?!”

All Fu Qingli heard was the beeping sound of the call disconnecting.

She stared at the phone, stunned, and then her face turned bright red with anger. She stomped her feet and yelled, “Ahhh! What does she mean by that?!!!”
