Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Keep us female stars in check? What a nerve!”
A sarcastic female voice sounded from behind. Gu Li turned her head and saw Qiu Yuxin strutting over with a group of staff members.
What a small world. They’d bumped into each other so soon.
Frankly, Gu Li had deliberately claimed she didn’t know Qiu Yuxin the night before. As a drama critic blogger, she had of course watched the shows Qiu Yuxin had acted in. Her acting was poor, but she had held a top spot among young budding actresses in the entertainment circle due to the strong capital backing her up.
Not wanting to get involved into a conflict with Qiu Yuxin in such a setting, Gu Li decided to simply leave with Da Ha before Qiu Yuxin could reach them.
Seeing Gu Li blatantly ignoring her, Qiu Yuxin turned green with anger. She turned to her agent by the side and asked, “What’s that brat here for?”
Her agent made a guess, “She should be the amateur mentor of the program, the C Station blogger, A Sweet Pear.”
Qiu Yuxin frowned, “The same A Sweet Pear who once said I had skewed values and was unlikeable?”
“Yes. To be precise, she critiqued the character you played in the show.”
“Humph! She’s always trying to get on my nerves. Tell the director I don’t want to see her on the show.”
“But…”
Her agent hesitated, “The recording is about to start, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to suddenly replace someone?”
“I don’t care!”
Qiu Yuxin gritted her teeth, “Anyway, it’s either her or me, it can’t be both of us!”
Her agent:
Unexpectedly, the director informed Gu Li that her contract was terminated just half an hour before the recording.
Her pay was low, only 100,000 RMB, but she got a compensation of three times that.
Gu Li had no objections to this result and walked out of the TV station with a calm face.
But Da Ha was not happy, “Boss, how can you stand it when that Qiu Yuxin is bullying you?”
Gu Li was not bothered, “She’s a top-tier actress, while I’m an amateur. If it were you, who would you choose?”
“This is outrageous! My uncle is just too…why did he give in to the powerful?” Don’t blame the director. After all, who can resist the power of capital?
However, the entertainment circle is quite interesting, it’s a survival of the fittest, constantly judging and deceiving, filled with calculations and traps. It’s a real cesspool.”
Gu Li couldn’t help but sigh.
“Yeah.”
Da Ha nodded in agreement, “I didn’t feel much before, but now that it’s happening to you, I can truly feel the rage of being replaced as a nobody. I’m so furious!”
Upon saying that, Da Ha clenched his fists. Suddenly, a lightbulb went off, “Boss, how about we start an entertainment company and pave a bright path for all the young boys and girls who have dreams, what do you say?”
“Pfft???? ” fre(e)
Gu Li could not hold back a laugh at his lofty ambitions, “That’s an admirable cause.”
“So, you agree?”
Da Ha was ecstatic. contemporary romance
“Yeah.”
Gu Li nodded, “Creating the stars we like, and producing the shows we like, isn’t that meaningful? I’m quite interested in taking on this challenge. However, starting an entertainment company is not a piece of cake, we’ll need to plan it carefully.”
Unconsciously, the two of them had reached Gu Li’s car.
She casually opened the driver’s door and got in.
Da Ha wanted to get in too, “In that case, Boss, treat me to a big meal. We can talk while we eat.”
Gu Li ruthlessly rejected him, “I’m busy.”
“Awww….”
Da Ha looked aggrieved, “Busy with what?”
Gu Li laughed like a mischievous fox, “Busy flirting with my husband. Remember to bring me a feasibility report on setting up the entertainment company tomorrow. Ciao!”
With these words, she waved at Da Ha and closed the car door under the watchful, mournful gaze of the young man.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Mo Group.
After parking, Gu Li made sure to fix her hair before she picked up her bag and walked in with a bright smile on her face.
She thought she could walk in unharmed like last time, but to her surprise, she was stopped by the receptionist.. “Young Madam, President Mo said you’re not allowed upstairs!”
