Chapter 153 - The Woman Who Cannot be Underestimated

“You win, Mr. Song Mian,” said Yun Xiangxiang resignedly.

“Thank you for your compliment, girlfriend. I will work hard,” Song Mian’s melodious voice had a hint of laughter in it.

Yun Xiangxiang noticed that Song Mian was getting shameless. She still remembered his careful and anxious tone during the jewelry incident last time.

He became so fearless because he knew that she wouldn’t be angry with him if he had valid reasons.

For an instant there, Yun Xiangxiang really wanted to mess with him. However, it wasn’t the right time. She didn’t play with him and whispered, “Thank you, boyfriend.”

Hospitals were absolutely places that had the highest traffic. The fashion magazine “EF” was incredibly reputable. Its content was all basically high quality.

The magazines would be read a lot if they were placed in the waiting area of the wards. As the cover figure and one of the most highlighted stories, she would become a face that was familiar through this.

She didn’t need everyone to remember her. She only needed to leave an impression on them and have them remember her when they saw her works after that. That would already be enough.

Song Mian could be said to be doing his best to fulfill her pride.

With his finances and power, he only needed to order someone to throw some money or do some favor, and naturally she would have an abundance of resources flowing toward her.

However, that wasn’t what she wanted. That was why he used this method to increase her exposure to let more chances flow toward her.

“I am elated to be able to do something for you,” Song Mian’s voice was enthrallingly tender.

Yun Xiangxiang was about to say something when she felt someone getting close to her. She turned around and came face to face with an unexpected person.

She had a delicate oval face with a pointed chin, a pair of lively eyes that seemed to have a lot of words in them. She had a beautiful nose wing and clear, cherry colored lips. She was a gorgeous woman.

“I’ll need to hang up first. Call you later,” Yun Xiangxiang said to her phone and hung up before Song Mian could reply.

“Hello, Yun Xiangxiang.” She greeted Yun Xiangxiang first.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Miss Chin,” Yun Xiangxiang gave a polite yet distant nod.

This exquisite woman who was in a single shoulder dress who had a slender yet curvy figure was no one else but the one who had some bad blood with her: Qin Yao.

She started getting involved with Qin Yao after the incident of Yang Qi, a character for “Caring Love.” Qin Yao was the original. Yun Xiangxiang was the one who came later.

Everything that happened later made Yun Xiangxiang clear that Qin Yao was viciously hostile toward her.

She could keep on sabotaging her from the dark, yet still could greet her classily now. Yun Xiangxiang had to admire her. Qin Yao was only twenty years old this year. She was born to be in this industry.

“Do you have some kind of misunderstanding toward me...?” Qin Yao’s tone was quite dour.

“I will not misunderstand those who are irrelevant.” Yun Xiangxiang’s attitude was still that of absolute rejection.

Qin Yao didn’t expect Yun Xiangxiang to be this straightforward. She smiled awkwardly, “I apologize. I have been quite presumptuous.”

Qin Yao left dejectedly after saying that. Yun Xiangxiang probably couldn’t be her rival if she was truly an eighteen year old young lady.

At least when she entered the industry when she was twenty in her previous life, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t meet any woman who had this kind of way of doing things when she was just so young.

“You have to look out for this little pretty woman. She’s more than meets the eye.” Li Man appeared from another side just after Qin Yao left.

“Indeed she is,” Yun Xiangxiang agreed with what Li Man said.

“Do you know why she appears in our company’s New Year celebration?” Li Man asked.

“She couldn’t be hopping to our company, right?” That would be quite disgusting.

Li Man stretched her slender fingers. Her nails were dyed in a brilliant red. She poked her head, “You have too little confidence in our company.”

Yun Xiangxiang and Qin Yao’s bad blood had already surfaced before Yun Xiangxiang signed the contract. Those in this industry would be able to see what was happening.

Since Huan Yu Century Entertainment chose Yun Xiangxiang, they wouldn’t take Qin Yao as one of them to slap Yun Xiangxiang in the face.

“She joined the Era of Stars half a year ago. Chen Junjie paid a huge sum of money as liquidated damages to Chang Sheng Media for her.

Li Man said that while looking at Yun Xiangxiang resignedly, “Do you not read entertainment news?”

Yun Xiangxiang was all smiles, “I...I still need to study!”

She actually didn’t like to read entertainment news since her previous life. Most of them were just nonsense to go with the picture. She didn’t like to watch other people’s real life dramas.

She didn’t want to care about any drama that revolved around her even more, unless there was something that she had to clarify.

“This He Wei is just too careless. He actually didn’t remind you,” Li Man started reproaching He Wei.

“Brother Wei didn’t even think that she was relevant,” Yun Xiangxiang immediately defended He Wei.

“You really know how to side with him,” Li Man pursed her lips in a smile. “Men usually won’t care about women, but they don’t know that women can defeat a bunch of big, strong men if they become vicious.”

“Sister Man has reminded me now, right? Now I know what is up,” Yun Xiangxiang immediately tried to fluff herself up.

Li Man’s pair of electrifying eyes immediately became a lot gentler. She couldn’t help but pinch Yun Xiangxiang’s adorable little face,

“Since you’re so obedient, I’ll be even nicer to you. She’s now Chen Junjie’s most spoiled actress. Even Yu Jinlin got one-upped by her.”

Yun Xiangxiang understood a lot of things in that instant.

Yu Jinlin was the pillar for the Era of Stars, just like Li Man. She had always been treasured by Chen Yinghui, who was Chen Junjie’s old man.

Yu Jinlin’s contract with Ni.G would expire out of the blue. NI.G which was a big source of revenue now became available again. Yun Xiangxiang had always thought that this was weird.

She didn’t expect that this was what happened. That woman was really something. She even caused the Era of Stars’ pillar to be sidelined when it wasn’t even half a year after she entered it.

“She’s not eyeing NI.G’s endorsements, right?” Yun Xiangxiang suddenly had a bad premonition.

“Heh,” Li Man sneered. “Do you think that she would give the results of her hard work away to someone else just like that?”

“This is really some ill fate,” Yun Xiangxiang rubbed her forehead.

“Do your best, little princessy. Big Sis knows you can do it,” Li Man naturally knew that Yun Xiangxiang also had her eyes on NI.G.

“I will do my best,” Yun Xiangxiang had no reason to back off.

However, everyone had their own special way of handling things in this industry. Nobody knew who would get the prize until it happened.

Even though Yun Xiangxiang eschewed entertainment news, she knew that Qin Yao starred in a mythical hero drama last year. She currently had great popularity thanks to her gorgeous appearance and decent acting skills.

The popularity gained through films had always been incomparable to the popularity gained through TV dramas.

Yun Xiangxiang was really losing out to Qin Yao who was wildly popular now in terms of popularity. Especially when she had the full backing of the Era of Stars behind her.

The most horrifying thing was that Qin Yao was a person who could really sacrifice anything to do anything and everything.

Yun Xiangxiang said that she was a natural in the entertainment industry because her ambition was obviously displayed.

Sure enough, she saw Qin Yao holding Chen Junjie’s arm when she returned to the great hall with Li Man. She was expanding her network along with Chen Junjie.

The way Chen Junjie looked at Qin Yao was different from how he looked at the previous women.

“Next up is Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s final major show: The Golden Finger. This is to reward our actors’ hard work over the past year.”
