“Isn’t that the truth?” Yi Ling looked at Yan Huan begrudgingly. “An herbivore like you will not understand what we carnivores go through. A sheep like you will never understand the cruelty among a pack of wolves.”
Yan Huan picked up the kitten from the floor and let it lay on her feet. She then touched the front paw that had been set in cast.
“Huanhuan, let us eat it again tomorrow okay?” Yi Ling felt that Yan Huan was in a better mood now and hence took the opportunity to make her request.
“No.” Yan Huan still rejected.
Yi Ling’s face drooped. “Why not?”
“I need to work tomorrow.” Yan Huan touched the cat’s claw again. When we are back, it will be late already. No one will be selling groceries.
“Ugh….”
Yi Ling let out a scream. How could she have forgotten this? Yan Huan needed to go to the office tomorrow for some arrangements on her jobs and to do some notices and advertisements. They would be back very late. Even though the company does not interfere with Yan Huan’s development much, this was agreed in the contract that they had signed. She could pick her own script and wouldn’t need to do those variety programs but under certain situations, she would still need to undergo the arrangements of the company. Only when she has power in the future to create her own studio could she then act her own pieces.
“That’s right!” Yi Ling shouted as she jumped up. She didn’t have much meat in her butt but she could still jump up from the sofa, they were indeed quite bouncy.
“Who is that backing. How did you meet him?” Yi Ling sat up straight and rested against Yan Huan’s skinny shoulders. She wasn’t afraid of crushing Yan Huan.
“He is Lu Yi.”
Yan Huan said.
“I know,” Yi Ling hadn’t reacted. “I know he is Lu Yi. He said it himself.”
“He is Lu Yi.” Yan Huan repeated.
Yi Ling rolled her eyes. “You do not know need to keep emphasizing his name. I know.”
“He is Lu Yi,” Yan Huan reminded for a third time. “He is that guy that you say has a good face and wondered why he isn’t in the entertainment industry.”
Yi Ling was stunned. Perhaps she hasn’t fully understood what was happening. Only when she started blinking continuously did her memory seem to return to her.
Lu Yi. Lu Yi from the Lu family. Attorney Lu. That person that almost everyone seemed to fear and dare not offend. The one who has a strong backing.
She secretly compared how he looked from the TV. It was true that they didn’t look much different and had the same looks. She patted her face. How could she not have recognized him? That was Lu Yi, it was Lu Yi. Lu Yi. My god, that was Lu Yi.
“Huanhuan!” Yi Ling screamed as she started rubbing Yan Huan’s face as if she was rolling dough.
“How are you so good to find a golden sponsor for us. He is not any other gold. He is pure gold. A pure gold sponsor!”
“I found him by selling my blood.” Yan Huan took a look at Yi Ling but she was still smiling.
“No worries, it is alright to sell a little blood. You can even sell your kidney. So long as we have him, your road to stardom will be much easier in the future.”
“…”
Yi Ling’s face was in shock, almost as if she was seeing Yan Huan standing on the stage of the most prestigious international awards, holding onto a small golden statue. All the light and looks around the world was on her.
Yan Huan swatted Yi Ling’s hand away before putting the kitten into its bed.
Its front leg hadn’t recovered yet and it couldn’t walk properly. It didn’t like to jump around recently because of this.
She petted the little guy’s head as she thought back to what Yi Ling just said. Her heart ached. This woman can give up her morals for a gold sponsor.
However, it was true that Lu Yi was pure gold. It seemed as if she would need to hold onto him tighter; she would need to build a good relationship with him. Or perhaps she can push Yi Ling to him. However, it doesn’t seem like Lu Yi will like someone like Yi Ling. He liked a black widow like Fang Zhu. Could it be, someone like her was easy to prey on?
She shook her head and got rid of all these incredulous thoughts. She prepared to turn in for the night.
One night passed and as she opened her eyes, she felt as if she had a dream last night. She covered her face; how could she make such a dream?
Even if she wanted to dream, the guy in the dream couldn’t be him.
Could it be that she had been thinking about him recently and whatever she thought of in the day, she dreamt about it at night. She shook her head as she attempted to shake away these unwanted thoughts. She decided in the future even if she was to dream, the guy couldn’t be him.
Luckily it was just her dream, her own world. If others were to find out, she wondered if they would laugh their teeth off at her.
She and Yi Ling reached the company early. They hadn’t been here in almost half a year and even though this wasn’t a cozy space, it was safe and at the very least, it was organized.
“Take a look at these scripts.” Li Changqing placed a stack of scripts on the table with a smile. “These scripts have been selected for you by the company. They are films to be released after the new year. The company will not be taking up any advertisement for you now. When you are more famous, we can start looking for some for you. There are a few companies who are prepared to sponsor you. One of them is a fashion company.”
Whatever he said in front didn’t really interest Yan Huan except for the last sentence. That’s great, I will not need to buy any more clothes, I can save some money. She had a rich life in the past and she had forgotten what it was like to be poor. Now that she was reliving it again, she had many thoughts.
She also took a look at the scripts in front of her and realized they were all good films. They all had big directors, big budgets and were big productions. Her character was set from the start even though none of them were the first female lead. However, she wasn’t in a rush. This was already a good start.
These shows weren’t to be released any time soon and she didn’t have to make a decision on the spot. She would need to research these scripts when she got back and decide which one she would pick.
Li Changqing looked at Yan Huan soft face and he could tell the aura of a star emanating from her. This young lady has such good acting skills despite being so young. She looks good too. He was most worried ithat she didn’t have a backing and would offend someone, just like what happened with Xiao Rongrong. However, he couldn’t imagine that she had such a big and thick backing.
It was hard for her not to be famous.
Yan Huan felt that Li Changqing was looking at her weirdly, almost as if he was evaluating her and was happy with something. He also looked at her like she was an item on the shelf waiting to be bought. It was an unspeakable feeling.
