"The deputy general manager of Jin City Group, Zhang Qi, is Sun Qianqian’s benefactor and the largest investor in ’Wandering Hero’. That’s Jin City Group we’re talking about, so for your sake, you’d better leave quickly."
"So what?" Gao Yuyue said indifferently.
"He’s just a deputy general manager, isn’t he?"
"That’s where you’re mistaken. The chairman of Jin City Group is already at retirent age. Zhang Qi is highly regarded within the group and has a good chance of becoming the next successor. Moreover, he oversees film and television investnts, and many industries are tied to the entertainnt circle. Offending him basically spells the end for anyone in the entertainnt industry."
Cui Jie explained to the group.
Gao Yuyue clicked her tongue. "So impressive, huh? Let’s talk again when she brings soone here."
At that mont, soone lifted the curtain and entered the room. "Brother Jie, Director Huang asked to co over and check if the actors are ready. Try to finish filming that scene today."
After saying this, the person noticed the costus of Gao Yuyue and Liu Runxi’s group and their eyes lit up. "Brother Jie, you’ve found the actors so quickly! In that case, let’s go. Director Huang is still waiting."
Cui Jie coughed lightly, looking at the group with so hesitation.
Gao Yuyue smoothed her skirt. "Let’s go. Don’t keep Director Huang waiting."
Cui Jie thought to himself, if worse cos to worst, Gao Yuyue could play the role of the Commandery Princess. Her innate arrogance is quite fitting.
Gao Yuyue walked forward a few steps but found Shen You’an wasn’t following her. She turned back instinctively.
Shen You’an said calmly, "You all go first. I’ll co along afterward."
Gao Yuyue still felt uneasy. "If Sun Qianqian cos at you with trouble later, don’t hold back. If you end her, I’ll take responsibility."
All the crew mbers present stared at her in shock. They hadn’t expected this beautiful and poised young woman to say sothing so ruthless.
Was she planning on experiencing prison life?
Only her four classmates, who had spent considerable ti with her, showed no surprise. This was indeed the type of thing Gao Yuyue would say.
Beneath Shen You’an’s mask, the corners of her lips curved slightly. "Got it."
Liu Runxi glanced at her but said nothing, then followed the others out.
The dressing room fell silent.
Cai Ling cautiously glanced at her. "What’s your na, classmate?"
This young woman’s sharp rebuttal to Sun Qianqian earlier was anything but bravado. She carried an innate aura of refinent, which gave her the confidence and right to be "willful."
Maybe Sun Qianqian had finally t her match.
Having worked with crews for years and interacted with all kinds of actors and stars, Cai Ling had developed a finely-tuned eye and would not be mistaken.
"I’m Shen."
Cai Ling smiled. "Shen, are you still a student? Visiting the Ancient City for fun? Forgive if I’m being nosy—no offense ant—but with such a wonderful image, it seems a sha to keep it hidden. Even if you remain low-key, you’re still bound to attract attention. Take Sun Qianqian as an example—trouble like this is unavoidable."
Shen You’an sat down in front of the dressing mirror, gazing at the reflection.
For a fleeting mont, mories from her past life surfaced.
The familiar dressing room, the familiar scent of costics.
She used to sit in this very position, day after day, enduring tedious and monotonous makeup routines. To keep on schedule, she’d film non-stop, often lacking proper sleep and sotis sneaking naps during makeup sessions. Over ti, she’d even mastered a skill—sleeping upright while keeping her neck perfectly straight.
For countless days and nights, she spent her ti imrsed in the crew, making this quite possibly the place she knew best.
But her relentless effort during those tis hadn’t led to aningful results.
But so what?
Shen You’an felt the blood boiling within her.
In the past, she had been timid and avoided confrontation, burying her head like an ostrich, thinking that would lessen the damage inflicted by the outside world.
But what was the outco?
Drifting with the tide only leads to being swallowed by the waves.
But by a stroke of luck, she had been given a chance to defy fate.
The young woman raised her hand and gently removed her baseball cap.
A cascade of chestnut-colored silky hair flowed down her swan-like neck.
Her flawless, radiant forehead was no longer hidden, with fine baby hairs at her hairline shimring distinctly in the light, achieving the effect of even her strands reflecting beauty.
Cai Ling instinctively held her breath, daring not even blink as she stared at the woman in the mirror.
The humiliations she had suffered from Sun Qianqian in her past life replayed in her mind, scene by scene—not as bitter vengeance nor as lodramatic retribution.
Sun Qianqian was rely a passerby in her life, insignificant to the point where challenging her would breach her principles.
Instead, she had suddenly realized that she genuinely loved acting.
If she fell here, she’d rise again from here.
Then so be it—she would start anew from this beginning.
