Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Bai Qingyang joined the production team today, and the production team was at the film studio in the north of the city.

Although the scandal about Bai Qingyang caused a huge stir on the internet, in the following day, people quickly forgot all about it. However, after this scandal, he became well-known and received a lot of acting opportunities.

Bai Qingyang did not expect such an effect. His initial uneasiness completely disappeared. He felt that he had made the right bet this time. As soon as he entered the production team, he would put on an arrogant attitude whenever he saw anyone.

This made many people dislike him.

“He’s just a pretty boy who depends on a woman, what’s there to be proud of? I feel that letting Miss Fei act with him is an insult to Miss Fei’s status as an A-lister.”

“Well, what can you do about it? After all, his sugar mommy is rich and powerful.”

“Ha! I was looking forward to this drama before. I thought that if the Best Actor and Best Actress worked together, it would definitely be a big hit. I would be happy even if I played a minor role in it, but now…”

“If you don’t want to act, you can leave the production team now.”

The sudden voice made the two men who were hiding in the corner shudder at the same time. Looking at Bai Qingyang, they knew that if Bai Qingyang said anything to the director, they would have to leave.

The two of them quickly lowered their heads and apologized to him. “Mr. Bai, my apology. We won’t gossip about you behind your back anymore. Please forgive us this time.”

“Please don’t tell the director. He will definitely kick us out.”

“It’s too late!” Bai Qingyang glared at them coldly. He was ready to make an example out of them, and he had no intention of showing them any mercy. “Just wait and see. I’ll show you the consequences of talking behind my back.”

With that said, he turned and left.

…

When Tang Li arrived, Bai Qingyang had just come out of the director’s room.

Zhou Qian followed beside him and said with a frown, “There’s actually no need to make such a big fuss over this matter. If it gets exposed, it won’t be good for your image.”

“What’s so bad about that?” Bai Qingyang stopped and sneered. “Being notorious is the same as being famous. Besides, even if I’m notorious, I can still do better than many people in the entertainment industry.”

“You…”

Zhou Qian could not believe that Bai Qingyang would have such a thought. “Qingyang, do you know how dangerous your current thinking is? The entertainment industry is different from other industries. If what you just said gets out, you’re done.”

“That’s not possible.” The Qi family was cooperating with him now, so he thought he could do whatever he wanted.

Suddenly, a sound resembling that of a bell was heard.

Then, Bai Qingyang added, “The Qi family said that as long as I do what they say, I can do whatever I want in the entertainment industry.”

Zhou Qian was no longer as worried as before. Her voice was filled with excitement. “Qingyang, you’re amazing. You actually managed to team up with the Qi family. The fans and netizens are all idiots to think that they can make you disappear with just some mean words. As long as the Qi family wants, you’ll become the Best Actor in no time.”

“Best Actor is just a start. As long as I please them, I’ll become an international Best Actor very soon. The fans are all brainless idiots. When the time comes, I’ll make those people who slandered me eat sh*t, and I’ll make all the fans get on their knees and beg.”

At this point, both of them burst out laughing.

The faint sound of a bell could be heard again in the air, and both of their bodies shook at the same time. They suddenly came back to their senses, and a terrified look crept upon their faces.

“What did I just say?”

“What did I just say?”

The words they had just said replayed in their minds, and both of them panicked.

Bai Qingyang’s face was pale, and his lips were trembling. “Sister Zhou, I didn’t mean to say those things just now.”

“Me too.” Zhou Qian calmed herself down and said, “Let’s not panic first. There’s no one here. We’ll just keep those words to ourselves. As long as you don’t say it, I won’t say it. No one will know.”

“Right, right, right. If we don’t tell anyone, no one will know.”

“Qingyang, it’s okay. Now we go back and rest. When we wake up tomorrow, we’ll forget about it.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

With that, the two of them returned to their rooms.

After Tang Li walked out of the hotel where the production team was staying, she looked at the recording on her phone. She was not in a hurry to go back, so she found a quiet place and sat down. Then she edited the recording and sent it to First Master and Third Master.

At the same time, she sent a message, “Do you think I should put this recording online or let your father listen to it?”

As expected, they soon called her.

Looking at the caller ID, Tang Li sneered and hung them up. She then left the hotel.

There were a bunch of hotels on this side of the film studio. Most of the hotels were built in traditional Chinese style and were quite expensive. As the streets and hotels were lit up by lanterns decorated everywhere, the scene looked straight out of a movie.

It was already past 11 pm and there were not many people on the streets.

Tang Li had only taken a few steps when she heard someone sobbing. She suddenly stopped and turned to look at the dark alley between the two hotels.

There was no light in the dark alley, but Tang Li smiled.

Tang Li walked to the entrance of the alley. With a wave of her hand, the entire alley lit up. A woman with disheveled hair, who looked like she had just been raped, cowered in the corner, crying.

Tang Li’s gaze was fixed on the bracelet on the woman’s fair wrist. A glint flashed across her eyes.

“Do you want to return the humiliation you suffered tonight?”

The sudden voice caused the body of the woman to shudder. Then she abruptly raised her head to look, and she was stunned by what she saw.

The dark alley lit up magically.

The woman standing in front of her was so beautiful that when she looked at her, she felt inferior. The aura on her body was so powerful that she thought the woman was an angel.

“Who are you?”

“I’m someone who can help you.”

Tang Li looked at her face and said slowly, “You graduated from a famous art school and were one of the top students. You have countless suitors. In the four years of your university life, you shot many commercials and TV shows, and you were very popular in your school.”

“However, the reality is that after you stepped into society, the good scripts were taken away by people who are worse than you. Be it the capitalist, director, or screenwriter, the first thing they want to do is sleep with you. You don’t want to climb up the social ladder by selling your body, so you become poorer and poorer.”

“On the contrary, your competitor is doing better and better and was even nominated for several awards not long ago, but you are still nothing.”

After saying that, Tang Li walked toward her. As she walked, she said, “You are meant to become an international movie star, but someone stole your luck. If you don’t get your luck back, you won’t be able to make a comeback for the rest of your life.”

The woman stared at Tang Li as she approached her, and there was a voice in her head that told her, “Trust her, she can help you.”

“What can I do to get my luck back?”
