In the hospital.
Bai Rong, who was wrapped up in bandages, was trying her best to brush up on her acting skills.
However, she received a call from the production company.
“You’re too disappointing. Do you know how low the viewership ratings of ‘Thirteen Blades’ have dropped?”
It had originally been a TV series that was quite a big hit.
However, because of Bai Rong’s bad reputation, many of the viewers had stopped watching the entire TV series.
Haotian Entertainment was the company that had invested in the TV series.
However, because of the current popularity of ‘The High Monk, Haotian Entertainment had not gotten back their investment this time.
When Bai Rong was questioned by the company’s higher-ups, she was so nervous that she was sweating. “I will definitely work harder for my next drama.”
“There won’t be any drama next. Do you think the company will throw money at you to film again? Do you know how much the company has spent to restore your reputation? Do you think the company will spend money on you again? From today onwards, the company will not be giving you any more resources.”
Bai Rong suddenly felt as if the sky was falling.
The only thing she had been able to rely on now was that the company had been willing to spend a lot of money to support her.
Even when her reputation had previously been damaged, she had not worried at all.
After all, she had witnessed the power of capital. As long as money was spent, there was no reputation that could not be restored.
However, the company was not going to care about her anymore. They were going to freeze her out.
“No, please give me another chance.”
Bai Rong was completely flustered.
However, on the other end, they hung up the phone very decisively.
At the same time.
On the top floor of a certain building overseas, a fashionably dressed woman was looking out the window at the view.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
When the woman picked up, she could not help but exclaim in surprise, “What? Shi Mo is supporting an artiste?”
Xue Ni was Shi Mo’s childhood sweetheart.

Three years ago, in order to establish a foothold within her family, she had gone abroad to take over a company that was overseas. She had worked hard there for three years.
She had not expected that Shi Mo, who had always despised artistes in the entertainment industry, would actually want to support an artiste.
“What’s in it for him? It must definitely be profitable.” Based on Xue Ni’s understanding of Shi Mo, she felt that Shi Mo must have pursued this artiste so much because this artiste was able to make money for the company.
However, when she heard the latter part of the sentence, she was suddenly stunned. “What did you say? He even acted in a TV series himself? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Xue Ni instantly became nervous.
She immediately searched for that particular TV series, not expecting to see Shi Mo acting in the male lead role.
Had Shi Mo gone crazy?
He had actually gone on stage himself.
Moreover, when she saw the bullet screens of the crazy fans, Xue Ni immediately frowned.
The co-star couple?
How was that possible?
Shi Mo had always kept a low profile. How could he be part of a hyped-up relationship?
So, after not seeing each other for a few years, Shi Mo had developed an interest in the hobby of acting? Furthermore, he had also learned how to collaborate and hype up a relationship with an artiste to promote a television drama.
Xue Ni could only console herself with this before making a call.
“Please help me investigate a person…”
…
In the entertainment company.
Fang Mo’er was fiddling with her phone.
Her manager, Shen Yue, looked at her in bewilderment, “What is it that’s so captivating?”
Just yesterday, Fang Mo’er had earned tens of millions of dollars through stocks.
For a moment, she felt that it was extremely easy to earn money.
She had begun to learn about the stock market. She could not always rely on Mu Chen’s Midas touch. What if one day, his lucky streak disappeared?
Thus, Fang Mo’er became really interested in the stock market.
Fang Mo’er casually said, “Looking at the stock market. How to make money from it and spend it.”
Shen Yue felt like rolling her eyes. Was Shi Mo not giving Fang Mo’er enough of an allowance?
Surely, he lived a very luxurious life?
Furthermore, Fang Mo’er probably did not understand the stock market well. How much money could she possibly make from it?
Shen Yue was not too bothered about it and showed her a few job offers. “You’re very popular now, I’ve selected a few of the more heavyweight ones for you.”
Fang Mo’er picked up the information and looked at it. There were all kinds of content.
Not only were there invitations to variety shows, but there were also offers for roles in several television dramas and movies.
All of them were for female lead roles.
“This is a complete recognition of my acting skills.” Fang Mo’er touched her chin.
Shen Yue said, “Your performance in ‘The High Monk’ has been very good. But most importantly, you’re very popular now. You’re more than qualified to be the female lead now.”
Fang Mo’er was in a good mood as she flipped through several of the documents. In the end, she stopped at one of the movies and raised her eyebrows.
Interesting, she had actually received an invitation for this movie.
