In the car, Jiang Zhi turned up the temperature of the seat and played soft music to ease Jiang Xue’s nervousness.

Jiang Xue was on the verge of a breakdown. She was frightened and covered her face with her hands while crying.

“Don’t look at me like that! Who told you to be nosy! Let them touch me and kiss me. What’s wrong? It’s better than now!

“What bullsh*t is there of Star Glory and Swallowtail! All the entertainment companies look at the commercial value of their artists! No one will give me a chance! 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

“So what if they’re rich? As long as I coax them well, they’ll be willing to throw money at me. I want to fight for my future. Is that wrong?”

Jiang Zhi listened quietly with an indifferent look. She took out the documents she had brought with her and threw them in front of Jiang Xue...

Jiang Xue was stunned. Looking at the terms and conditions, it was clear that she was indeed a Star Glory artist now. She raised her eyes and met Jiang Zhi’s gaze with a complicated look.

Jiang Zhi then gave her a few scripts for “The afterlife,” pointed at the marked lines and spoke indifferently.

“I’ll think of a way for you to get back at that drinking partner of yours. Since you’re an artist from the company, you’re obligated to act accordingly now...

“I’ll let you audition for the role of the mother in the movie. At the same time, the company plans to let Wu Dai play your son.

“The prospects for this movie are pretty good. The team behind it are all famous in the country. As long as you can work it well, it’ll definitely be better than your current treatment...”

Jiang Xue lowered her head and hurriedly skimmed through the script. She was clearly unwilling to accept this. “I’m only a few years older than Wu Dai! You want me to play his mother? ! I won’t accept such a role!”

She had already been at the peak of her career when she debuted. Jiang Xue had enjoyed applause and flowers before. How could she be willing to be reduced to being some sort of background character?

Her ambition was driving her to return to being a little flower, not to be labeled as a middle-aged female celebrity!

The lights in the parking lot flickered. Jiang Zhi frowned and tapped on the steering wheel with her fingers, analyzing the situation Jiang Xue was facing.

“The entertainment industry is a vain one. There are too many beautiful young girls with outstanding acting skills. You can’t compete with them!

“If you continue being obsessed with female lead roles, you can only face the dilemma of not having any scenes to film, just like now. Do you think that you will easily get what you want? They will only give you a few million to film an internet movie with no fame or standard... Are you willing?

“There are only two paths in front of you. Practice your acting skills and turn into a capable actress. Or, be a nobody in the entertainment industry!

“Everyone will age one day. You can’t be the main character for the rest of your life. Can you understand that?”

Jiang Xue was silent. She was actually very aware of the reality. She just wanted to avoid them and was unwilling to admit it.

Jiang Zhi promised to give her a few days to think. On the way back to the villa, she received a call from Cheng Yi. “It’s urgent. Hurry back to the company!”

The SUV accelerated at the intersection and changed direction...

Jiang Zhi rushed back to the Star Glory Group. When she saw the news that Cheng Yi had sent her, she realized that the situation at the airport was out of control.

Many people were denouncing the ambiguous relationship between Jiang Zhi and Lu Mian.

Lu Mian happened to call at that moment. Jiang Zhi thought that he was discussing official business and turned on the loudspeaker.

His voice was gentle with a hint of anticipation that was hard to detect. He asked, “The news, did you see it? I have a way to solve it. Zhi Zhi, are you willing to publicize our relationship? I’m not a celebrity who depends on fans for a living. I can fall in love.”

Cheng Yi was surprised by the way he interacted with Jiang Zhi. This was the gentlest version of the crown prince that he had never seen before!

But in the next second, Cheng Yi thought of Old Master Lu’s inquiry and was so scared that his face turned pale. In his mind, he instantly imagined the storm that would follow if the two of them publicized their relationship. He shook his head frantically and waved his hands, hinting with his eyes that Jiang Zhi should reconsider it!

Cheng Yi did not dare to expose his existence. He quickly took out his phone, typed a few words, and raised it up.

“Publicizing the relationship would affect Lu Mian’s future. It would hamper Star Glory’s earnings!”

Jiang Zhi looked at his reminder and hesitated. In the end, she politely refused, “I can handle it. Don’t worry.”

Lu Mian sat on the sofa with his eyes lowered. He could not hide his disappointed expression, but he was afraid that it would burden Jiang Zhi. He immediately raised his voice and asked with a hint of malice.

“When are you coming back?

“If you want to continue our secret relationship, you need to give me some compensation and comfort, Zhi Zhi.”

Lu Mian’s hint made Jiang Zhi blush. Seeing Cheng Yi’s blank eyes, she hung up the phone in a panic, thinking about how to explain herself. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Cheng Yi covered his ears. “I didn’t hear or see anything! I can understand, I can understand....”
