Bab 172: Jia's conundrum

Chow Mey said, "I thought it was over. But then I suddenly got a drastic reduction in my payment. I was paid far less than what other actors were. It felt like I was working for free. I asked my agent and she said that the agency was cutting some costs since business had been slow for them. I thought it was for everyone but no. It was only me. I wasn't getting the money I deserved to be paid!"

She gritted her teeth. "I refused to give up and kept resisting and protesting. Nobody listened to me and kept paying me peanuts. I could hardly pay my bills anymore. Then one day, I saw Wan Guanting talking to my agency's managing director. I felt odd and immediately felt suspicious. I followed them and secretly heard their conversation. And guess what I learned?"

She sneered. "That bastard was bribing that MD to interfere with my salary."

"Can you imagine what I felt at that moment?" Chow Mey asked Jia, not expecting any answer from her.
