She could certainly hear the sarcasm in Zhang Yubing's words.

She smiled and replied, "Ms. Zhang, my mother told me that it's best not to be too familiar with someone you don't know well. We probably aren't that close."

A hint of mockery flashed in Zhang Yubing's eyes when she heard Xu Yanyu's words.

Zhang Yubing's appearance is considered outstanding among ordinary people, but in the entertainment industry where beauties and handsome men abound, she can only be considered average.

She has always been insecure about her appearance and even wanted to get plastic surgery.

However, her agent stopped her, believing that plastic surgery would affect the emotional expression of her character.

Her agent also encouraged her, saying that as long as she has good acting skills, she will definitely be able to make a name for herself in the industry.

Although being beautiful is an advantage in this industry, without acting skills, even someone with top-tier looks like Xu Yanyu will find it difficult to make a name for themselves.

Therefore, although Zhang Yubing admired Xu Yanyu's natural good looks, he looked down on her acting skills.

However, Zhang Yubing concealed it well and quickly returned to her innocent appearance.

She said to Xu Yanyu, "Sister Xu, I'm going to attend an event in the next couple of days. Since it was a last-minute invitation, I need to prepare a dress."

I urgently need the clothes. I'll compensate you first, could you please let me have them?

Zhang Yubing has many gowns, but her agent told her that Director Zeng is quite fashionable and pays great attention to other people's clothing and appearance.

Her agent instructed her to change the dress she had previously ordered to one from SG.

So Zhang Yubing wasn't lying; she really was in a hurry for the dress.

Xu Yanyu raised an eyebrow, glanced at Zhang Yubing's figure from head to toe, and then shook her head, saying, "It might not work."

"Sister Xu, do you think talking about money sounds bad? Then tell me, what conditions do you want for me to agree to give you the dress?" Zhang Yubing bit her lip, swallowed her anger, and continued to negotiate with Xu Yanyu.

Xu Yanyu laughed, "I mean, this dress doesn't fit your figure. It's not suitable for you, you should choose something else."

"You don't need to worry about that, I can have someone else make some changes." Zhang Yubing thought she had a chance, and her tone was filled with undisguised excitement.

Her skin was a bit dark, and this brand had too many dark-colored clothes. After looking around, she found that only this white dress made her skin look a bit fairer.

Although the dress is a bit low-cut at the chest, she can have the staff alter it so she can still wear it.

Xu Yanyu looked at the staff member next to her and said, "The fabric of this garment is special and cannot be altered. Moreover..."

This garment is the final work of one of their brand's designers, and to commemorate that designer, the brand forbids any major alterations to the design.

Xu Yanyu wasn't just making things up; the staff member next to her had explained the dress very clearly when she was choosing it.

The staff member said that the garment had been hanging there all this time, not because it couldn't be sold, but because it hadn't found a suitable owner.

The staff member then stated, "Ms. Zhang, this dress has been hanging there for over a year. Ms. Xu is the only one who can pull off this dress."

Zhang Bingyu's face turned pale and then pale again. She angrily stomped out in her high heels.

A bunch of brands wanted to lend her dresses to choose from, but why did she insist on sticking with the SG brand?

What kind of brand is this, insulting its customers like this!

Xu Yanyu shook her head and said to the staff, "Let's go pay."

"Ms. Xu, I hope you will take good care of this dress in the future. I believe its designer is very happy that his masterpiece has met a good owner."

The staff led Xu Yanyu forward.

"Okay." Xu Yanyu understood what craftsmanship meant.

Before we knew it, it was time for the premiere of Director Zeng's film.

Xu Yanyu has been training all the time these past few days.

Today, in order to attend Director Zeng's premiere, she made a special effort to get up early and complete a day's training.

The Wanshi Building is located in the downtown business district of H City, and the premiere of Director Zeng's movie was held in a luxurious screening room on the first floor of the building.

Even before the movie premiere, a large number of media and celebrities had already gathered outside the building that evening.

Night fell, the city was brightly lit, and spotlights flashed incessantly.

Director Zeng was in high spirits, and he was unusually busy tonight, but he had a smile on his face the whole time, and even the little tuft of hair on his head was fluttering in the wind.

He was waiting for someone outside the gate.

He greeted a man his age, gave him a hug, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Old Bai, thank you for coming to support me. Hahaha..."

Old Bai's real name was Bai Xinjin. He had a thick chin, wore silver-rimmed glasses, and had a bulging belly.

He is also a director, but true to his name, he loves money and makes mostly commercial films.

He hugged Director Zeng back and laughed, "I'm very curious about what you've produced after years of seclusion. When I asked you before, you were so mysterious and didn't reveal a single word."

"You'll see soon enough. Go inside first; I'm waiting for a few more people." Director Zeng led the people inside and then back outside.

Suddenly a commotion broke out outside, followed by a burst of flashbulbs that seemed to strike like thunder.

"The lead actress, Yu Jingya, has arrived!"

"The male lead, Fei Zeyu, came with Yu Jingya."

...

With the help of staff, the handsome men and beautiful women managed to evade the media's pursuit with impassive expressions.

Director Zeng waved to the two men and called out from afar, "I was worried your plane would be delayed."

Fei Zeyu approached Director Zeng, and a faint smile appeared on his tense face. "I was still reshooting this morning."

Yu Jingya, who was standing next to her, also smiled and said, "I specially got my hair and makeup done for today's appearance. The fans in H City are too enthusiastic, and they blocked my way again."
