Xia Wanyuan had finally completed today’s dance training. She felt as if all the joints in her body had been reconstructed, but after exercising, her entire body seemed to be much lighter.
She had just taken a shower and changed when her phone rang.
Xia Wanyuan picked up her phone and glanced at it. The words “Bai Lian” on the screen attracted her attention.
A cold glint flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. She was the indirect instigator for the Xia family’s bankruptcy.
After Xia Wanyuan entered the entertainment industry, she had a very good “best friend”, Bai Lian.
Speaking of which, Bai Lian was considered a female celebrity between the B-list and A-list rankings. She also had a place in the entertainment industry, but she was not as lucky as Xia Wanyuan who had a better family background.
Initially, Bai Lian was only a background actress. However, she knew how to socialize and curry favor with the director. She had relied on many means to climb to her current position.
Back then, it was Bai Lian who had tried her best to persuade Xia Wanyuan to invest in that sci-fi film with Xia Yuanqing. After the news of the Xia family’s bankruptcy spread, Bai Lian seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and had never contacted Xia Wanyuan again.
This person actually called me again today?
“Hello.” Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button and her red lips parted slightly.
“Hello, Yuan Yuan, how are you? I’ve been filming in the mountains recently and there’s been no signal. I heard that something has happened to your family. Are you okay?” On the other end of the line, Bai Lian’s tone was extremely concerned.
“I’m bankrupt. Why? What’s the matter?”
Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s somewhat cold tone, Bai Lian felt that something was wrong.
“We haven’t gathered in a long time. Yuan Yuan, are you busy now? Let’s gather. I brought you a lot of gifts from abroad.” Bai Lian deliberately ignored the alienation in Xia Wanyuan’s tone.
“Location.” Xia Wanyuan wanted to see what this woman was up to.
After Bai Jie reported the location, Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Bai Jie was furious. “If not for your face, I wouldn’t have bothered with you.”
Bai Lian had always been in an awkward position from the B-list to the A-list. Now, there was an important film and television drama that was in the midst of preparation. If she could get this lead role, then her promotion to the A-list would be guaranteed.
However, the problem was that she did not have the confidence to get this role. Her manager had heard from many sources that the core person in the investor’s banquet tonight was someone who loved beauty very much.
Hence, she and her manager prepared to suit his liking. Bai Lian was also beautiful, but in terms of beauty, she was not half as beautiful as Xia Wanyuan. Her manager communicated with the higher-ups.
There was news from the higher-ups that as long as the person Bai Lian found could serve the big investor well, the female lead role would definitely be given to Bai Lian.
Hence, ever since the Xia family went bankrupt, Bai Lian, who had never called Xia Wanyuan again, called her for the first time. She was originally worried that Xia Wanyuan would not come, but now it seemed that Xia Wanyuan was still as stupid as ever.
Xia Wanyuan checked the restaurant Bai Lian had mentioned. The last time she went to the restaurant alone, Jun Shiling had gotten angry. This time, Xia Wanyuan was already on guard against Bai Lian, so she told Uncle Wang where she was going and told him to tell Jun Shiling when he returned.
The tables at the dining table were filled with drinks. The investors had set up all sorts of contracts between the glasses, and the little celebrities beside them were all smiling.
Bai Lian looked at the door, anxiety flashing across her eyes. Why isn’t Xia Wanyuan here yet? Did she go back on her word?
