The agent, fearing she would sulk, quickly said, “Weiwei, since you’re just getting started on the big screen, getting too good resources too soon isn’t great, as it may turn off the audience. Mr. Shi must have considered this when he helped you get the role of the third female lead. Otherwise, with Mr. Shi’s status, getting you the role of the female lead would have been a piece of cake. Mr. Shi is thinking of your best interests.”
She, of course, knew that-
Rong Weiwei’s mood greatly improved, but when she thought of “Return to Ning,” she still felt slightly unhappy, furrowing her brow, ‘”Return to Ning’…”
Having followed her for several years, the agent knew what she was thinking and immediately said, “I won’t let Rong Yan climb up the ranks! Don’t worry. KT’s leading lady is Jiang Xinyue, and Jin Haixin and Li Chunyu are also their current favorites. KT won’t pick a washed-up eighteenth-tier actress no matter what. Even if she has a pretty face, what of it? At most, she’ll just get a minor role as a footmaid!”
Rong Weiwei’s eyes gleamed with a ring of amusement, obviously pleased by the comment, and said, “My sister used to be the National Sister, after all. There’s a chance the director might ‘take a liking’ to her. You should still go and give the director a heads up to ‘take good care’ of my sister.”
And by special care, she meant to weed out Rong Yan from the very first round!
The agent instantly understood; Weiwei wouldn’t even give Rong Yan the role of a footmaid, aiming to completely press her out of visibility!
“Got it, I’ll get in touch with the director right away.”
“You’ve misunderstood me, what I mean is, if my sister goes for it, give the director a ‘chance’ to offer her an ‘opportunity.’ You know the rules of the industry better than me; opportunities require certain… sacrifices. And during the process of giving, if someone happens to take a photo, that’s quite normal. Maybe my sister just had bad luck, the photo coincidently just got shared by the director with friends, and then it found its way online, that’s all.”
Thinking she simply wanted to suppress Rong Yan, the agent didn’t expect her to be so ruthless. Nodding, the agent said with a smile, “I understand.”
Suddenly remembering something, Rong Weiwei’s fair face darkened, and through gritted teeth, she said, “And that model girl, find an excuse to deal with her!”
She dared to flirt with her man, she must be tired of living!
Although afterwards, Shi Mufeng explained to her they didn’t hug, it was just that at a dinner gathering the female model had drunk too much, and he helped her, which was captured by paparazzi and blown out of proportion. But still, she felt extremely uncomfortable! Especially whenever she recalled Rong Yan’s bright and stunning face whispering into her ear about her recent
‘greenish’ complexion, she felt as disgusted as having a fly stuck in her throat. Even though she could ‘generously’ let go of that model, she just didn’t want to!
“Remember to keep it clean.”
Rong Yan better not even think about getting close to “Return to Ning, ” or rely on it to make a comeback, or she would make her regret coming back to the country!
“Don’t worry about it, Weiwei.”
Rong Yan, holding the script she had just received, returned to her small apartment from the KT Building.
With limited funds, she could only afford to rent a small place on the outskirts of the city. She had chosen this apartment for its proximity to Li Shengxiao’s Country Garden, so she could be closer to Little Baby.
She was initially considering creating an accidental meeting to gradually get closer to Little Baby, but she hadn’t expected that in just over a week, things would spiral beyond her control…
However, at least she had made contact with her darling Duidui. Although it might deviate from her initial resolve to avoid entanglement with the Li Family, she now had a legitimate excuse to visit Little Baby at any time.
The most important thing for her now was to make money!
Make a lot of money. Once she had enough, she could take back Little Baby and invest in research for genetic diseases herself.
To earn a lot of money, the first thing was to make an initial sum in the entertainment industry.
Rong Yan casually tossed her bag on the couch and started to flip through the script. She had already figured out her path, one that would leave Rong Weiwei unable to do anything against her, but first, she needed to prepare.
She had just found some sunflower seeds, ready to crack them while applying a face mask.
Suddenly, her phone ‘dinged’ with a message.
Who could it be?
Rong Yan put down the script and picked up her phone.
An unfamiliar profile picture was bouncing in the WeChat message.
“Damn, when did I add a stranger?”
She opened the message, curious to see who it was, and saw three glaring letters on the conversation screen: [Isx].
Okay, she remembered now, the stranger was Li Shengxiao!
The message was just one simple line, [How’s your mood today?]
What’s that supposed to mean?
She flipped through her phone twice, Li Shengxiao indeed had sent only that one sentence.
How’s your mood today?
The image of the tall and handsome man frolicking and dancing to the tune of ‘Today is a good day’ popped into Rong Yan’s mind. It was so cringeworthy that she couldn’t continue the thought!
How should she reply to this?
After much deliberation, Rong Yan sent back [Not bad.]
Her mood was not bad; today, she had seen Rong Weiwei in a tight spot and also seized the opportunity she wanted.
[How about you?] She politely responded, not expecting a reply as she thought she had killed the conversation, but less than ten minutes after she put down her phone, it ‘dinged’ again, [It’s pretty good right now.]
It’s pretty good right now!
Rong Yan felt like there was an underlying message in his words.
Before she could reply, her phone chimed twice more.
[Goodnight]
Typical Li Shengxiao style, straightforward and clear.
[Goodnight.]
Rong Yan typed the last two characters and sighed. Glancing at the clock, she got up to prepare for a bath..
