“Ruan Zeyan, put me down!” Ling Tianya pounded on the arm of Ruan Zeyan but it didn’t seem to do much. The man still carried her to the bedside.
With one hand, Ruan Zeyan lifted the covers and gently lowered Ling Tianya onto the bed. Then, he laid down himself.
Not giving the woman a chance to escape, his long arm secured her in his embrace, “I won’t do anything tonight. You can sleep peacefully.”
Ruan Zeyan’s voice came from behind, and his hand was only touching her lower abdomen. Ling Tianya, like a kitten, curled up closer to Ruan Zeyan’s body and quickly fell asleep.
Two days later, Ling Tianya took the Zhang Ke to the headquarter of Zhiya Entertainment in the city center.
The person there receiving Ling Tianya was the deputy of the film and television department. He looked sincere, but Ling Tianya knew that it was only superficial. In the big shark tank of the entertainment circle, who didn’t have a protective cover?
Ling Tianya was following the deputy to the conference room and something that sounded like a quarrel in the corner caught her attention.
“I have had enough of you. What is your status now that you think you can still be picky?”
“I am not being picky. I can play an extra, I can play a servant, but I don’t want to play a role like this.”
This voice…
Ling Tianya furrowed her eyebrows as she stopped walking.
Seeing that Ling Tianya didn’t keep up, the deputy stopped too. “Miss Ling, what’s wrong?”
Following the way Ling Tianya was looking, the deputy smiled. “Oh, that’s just some clueless actors making a fuss. Don’t worry about her.”
Guan Meiyi’s face looked pale and a bit sickly. But she said to her agent in front of her in a sincere voice, “Miss Pan, please pass on this role and find me another, okay?”
Miss Pan was a plump woman. She was not a senior agent like Li Fei who could only take a few big-name actors. She belonged to the kind of agents who managed lots of actors, most of whom were nobodies or just starting out, either with no fame or a bad reputation like Guan Meiyi.
Managing these actors didn’t make much money and required a lot of hard work every day. So, Miss Pan’s temper was notoriously bad.
She had a prejudice against Guan Meiyi to begin with and now the company had assigned Guan Meiyi to her. That’s why she was in a bad mood.
To make matters worse, Guan Meiyi was even being picky about the role. Ms Pan started yelling without hesitation. “You still think you are a star with millions of fans? Guan Meiyi, your name is dirt! Do you know what that means? It means nobody likes you! You were fired by the company, and now finally they gave you a chance to act again. You should cherish it! Why the hell are you complaining about the role?”
Guan Meiyi lowered her head. Her face was pale, and she was biting her lips. Miss Pan asked her to play a slutty prostitute in an art film where there would be some nude scenes. And she had read the script: the prostitute talked and acted obscenely and swore a lot. These were things she couldn’t do.
Guan Meiyi knew that Miss Pan gave her this role in order to embarrass her.
“So, are you going to play the role? I’m telling you this is your last chance! Last time on set, you offended the new star the company was trying to push right now. The upper management was very angry and ready to fire you again! So, you have two choices: either you play the prostitute, or you piss off and go home to be the rich housewife!”
Guan Meiyi’s eyes were getting deeper and her body was starting to tremble slightly. This was clearly a revenge on her.
