"Are you crazy? If you want to participate in a movie, can’t you just ask me directly? Considering we’re classmates, if there’s an opportunity, wouldn’t I give you a small role? Do you really need to sacrifice yourself?"

After figuring out the cause and effect, Li Yan almost shouted, venting all the frustration, disgust, and anger from being seduced by her that night.

Bai Jie expected him to be angry and smiled bitterly: "Even though... I don’t know your situation, I’m not professionally trained and am of the same age as you. For someone like that to break into the film industry is just wishful thinking! I’ve heard that those young and pretty girls, to get a role, even a small one, have to sleep through the assistant directors, producers, directors, supervisors, bosses, and so on, just to have a chance. I thought I could use your status, skip sleeping with others, and just sleep with you to get a role, which would be great... And if you really want to help me, I have nothing else to repay you with but my body. So... class president, if you were in my place, what would you do?"

Li Yan smiled bitterly without words, what’s going on! Is this for dreams? Or for art? Or for fame?

Reality is just so... realistic.

In such a big environment, those with great skills earn big money, and those with little skills earn small money. Even the tiniest bit of power is used to exchange for benefits. So, not to mention directors and producers who can make people famous, even college professors may act as beasts at night after being professors during the day.

Acting, directing, investing and producing, Zhang Guoli has accumulated decades in the mainland film and television circle, and is considered quite a star, right? His son Zhang Mo benefits quite a bit too. Although his looks and acting are like Fang Zuming’s style, he gets a lot of opportunities. And Zhang Mo’s girlfriend, Tong Yao, perhaps due to a similar relationship or her own abilities, also gets plenty of acting opportunities in the film academy. But since she’s still in the film academy, wanting leave to act requires passing the teacher’s approval. It’s this slight power that forced her to go to bed with someone, which didn’t go unnoticed by Zhang Mo, who ended up beating the professor...

What about ordinary people with no background?

Li Yan couldn’t answer Bai Jie’s question.

Everyone was silent for a while. Li Yan sighed and said, "I am the company manager, with the authority to decide investments, but I am not the boss. All company investments must be accountable to the head office. I can’t spend company money to support you, nor can I demand anyone play a leading role. Everything must meet investment prerequisites. But if it’s a role insignificant to the bigger picture, I think I can still arrange an opportunity for you. If you aim to become famous overnight, willing to start with minor roles and extras, I can arrange for you to join the crew. But there’s no need for you to do this..."

After hearing Li Yan’s words, Bai Jie stared at him for a while, "Of course, I’m willing... I’m past the age of dreaming. To have a chance to be involved in a film is already a dream come true and compensation for regrets for me, and I won’t seek to rise to fame overnight. However..."

Seeing her hesitation to speak again, Li Yan asked in a deep voice, "We’ve already talked this far, just say what you have to say! Don’t stutter."

"After treating you like this today... are you not afraid that after I join the crew and meet more people, I would use the same way... to forge a path?" Bai Jie asked softly.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "The current you, I believe, wouldn’t do that. Because after all, we’re not strangers, you’re still reserved. With complete strangers or those not as handsome or young as me, it should be even harder for you."

Bai Jie chuckled a bit, "Is this considered boasting?"

"Just telling the truth, at least the head of the crew and director, one is not as young as me, and one is not as handsome." Li Yan laughed too, easing the heavy atmosphere a bit. Then he added, "However... people change. The you today is not the same as yesterday, and the you tomorrow may not be the same as today. I can’t judge you now based on what you might become tomorrow."

’Besides, you’re not my wife, nor are you a kid. If you choose to go this way, it’s none of my business, right? Even without involving me, you could end up sleeping through connections as you mentioned before.’ This was quite hurtful, so he didn’t say it out loud.

Bai Jie looked at Li Yan, seemingly wanting to see if he was telling the truth, and after a while, seriously replied, "Don’t worry, I don’t have big ambitions now. Being able to have some screen time is enough. If I end up sleeping with others but not you, I wouldn’t dare face you in the future..."

"..." Li Yan was a bit embarrassed, those words...

"But after you’ve helped me like this, how should I thank you?" Bai Jie, having achieved her goal and solved her dilemma, felt much lighter.

"No need to thank me. A minor role or an extra won’t give you fame, nor much income."

"That’s to you! To me, even being an extra is a rare opportunity, and opportunities are priceless! Dreams are priceless!"

"Then make the most of it! When the company starts filming again, if suitable, there will be another role for you." Li Yan sighed inwardly, dreams are priceless, what were my dreams again? He felt momentarily lost. "I’ll send you back first, and I’ll call you when I’ve arranged everything."

As the car moved, the now relaxed Bai Jie started joking again, "You’ve helped me, and I’m willing, are you really not interested? I’m not a virgin, I won’t cling to you, free is good, isn’t it?"

Li Yan frowned, ignoring her, and continued driving.

"There are more than ten minutes left to go back, you have more than ten minutes to consider. I live alone, not fond of staying in hotels, could consider staying the night..." Bai Jie teased with a smile.

Li Yan grunted, saying lightly, "Watch the road, I’m not familiar, tell me which way to go."

"Keep going straight, you still have ten minutes..."

Ten minutes... Li Yan wanted to speed up a bit and send her back home ASAP. But suddenly accelerating seemed guilty, afraid to face her, so he calmly continued.

Bai Jie’s coat wasn’t buttoned up, it was open at first, and now with the car moving, she closed the window and then seemed to feel hot, so she directly took off her coat.

"Stop seducing me, you’re attractive, but I have self-control." Li Yan reminded.

Bai Jie chuckled, "Got it."

Not long after, Li Yan reached a bustling area, looking at the sign, this should be the area where she lives.

"Where do you live? Which way should I head?"

"What? ... Oh..." Bai Jie licked her lips, turned her head with effort to look ahead, pointed forward, "That way... no, that way..."

"Which way is it?"

"In front... front..." Bai Jie tried to focus and glanced ahead, "Take a left at the second intersection..."

After directing him a few more times, she stopped speaking. "Here..."

Upon hearing her say they arrived, Li Yan pulled over, but on closer inspection, this didn’t look like a residential area at all, as there was a patch of grass beside it, and further seemed to be an industrial area with a similar opposite street, no residential area at all.

"Are you sure you want to get off here?" Li Yan thought she might not want him to follow her or fear her colleagues misunderstanding, so she wanted to get off earlier.

Bai Jie said nothing.

"I’ll take you home!"

Bai Jie, seeing him insist, nodded and started giving directions.

A few minutes later, they reached her place, and she had finished tidying up and put on her coat.

"Today’s matters..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. It’s just... our little secret!" Li Yan smiled, easing her worries.

Bai Jie softly said, "I wanted to say... I’m not like this usually. Anyway, you’re a good person..." After saying that, she leaned over, pecked Li Yan’s cheek, without any lust or seduction, then got off and waved him goodbye.
