The car quickly stopped in front of Lanmei. Qiao Xing put on a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, disguising himself completely, before getting out of the car and walking inside.

She is, after all, a public figure, unlike Su Xi who acts arrogantly and is high-profile and unpretentious when she goes out, which is why she attracts so much negative attention.

As soon as she got upstairs, the bodyguard stopped her. "Who are you?"

"It's me, Qiao Xing."

The bodyguard told her to wait where she was. Young Master Zhou didn't like women intruding on his private space, and unless he gave special instructions, no one was allowed to approach.

Shortly after, Zhou Jingming came out.

Qiao Xing approached eagerly, "Young Master Zhou, I need to talk to you."

Before she could even get close to Zhou Jingming, a bodyguard blocked her way.

Qiao Xing was unwilling, but she maintained a gentle demeanor and obediently did not approach. "I'll wait for you in the private room downstairs."

With that, she turned and went downstairs.

Zhou Jingming followed, and as soon as he entered, he got straight to the point, "Speak, what is it?"

Qiao Xing spoke in a soft, coquettish tone, "I heard that Young Master Zhou's other investment project hasn't cast a female lead yet. I'd like to give it a try. Could Young Master Zhou perhaps..."

“Okay, as long as you listen to me.” Zhou Jingming nodded in agreement without much thought.

Qiao Xing's image is indeed suitable for the female lead in this drama.

He's a businessman, so naturally he's concerned with profit.

As long as someone can make money for him, it doesn't matter to him who gets the role.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhou. I will certainly live up to your expectations." A sly glint flashed in Qiao Xing's eyes as he deliberately moved closer.

Zhou Jingming cautioned, "I like women who know their place. If Miss Qiao wants to get resources, she'd better not challenge my bottom line."

He had taken advantage of many women, but none of them could last three hours.

Most of these women had ulterior motives, and he didn't have the patience to deal with them, so he always gave them some benefits to get rid of them.

That's why he's famous for his three-hour popularity.

Qiao Xing was a smart man and quickly understood. He sat back down and said, "I will be obedient and won't make Young Master Zhou uncomfortable."

"Good to know. You can go now."

Zhou Jingming waved his hand and poured himself a glass of wine.

Just then, a bodyguard came in to report, "Young Master Zhou, Madam went to the company and had a conflict with Su Rou."

The man who was drinking suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face cold, and left the private room without saying a word.

Qiao Xing watched the man's tense steps and recalled everything that had happened yesterday; it seemed that everything had been timed perfectly.

Could it be that Zhou Jingming and Su Xi weren't just putting on an act?

Has he really taken Su Xi seriously?

If that's the case, then we're in trouble.

Once Zhou Jingming is controlled by Su Xi, Su Xi will have no shortage of resources and will rise to the top.

Replacing her in his position wouldn't be a matter of minutes, would it?

No, no, she absolutely cannot let Su Xi turn things around, and she certainly cannot let Su Xi steal Zhou Jingming's heart.

Su Xi can only stay in obscurity, where she is slandered and despised.

The title of "Number One Sister" can only belong to her.

Who dares to compete with her...

That will come at a price!

...

Funshion Media.

Su Xi disguised herself as a cleaning lady and sneaked into the company, where she bumped right into Hua Qing.

Hua Qing didn't recognize her. "Auntie, the restroom is very dirty, please clean it..."

"Has Auntie landed?" A familiar voice drifted over.

Hua Qingyu paused, glanced at Su Xi for a few moments, and then ripped off her mask. "Good heavens, it's you!"

Su Xi smiled and placed her hand on Hua Qing's shoulder. "Surprised?"

Hua Qing: "..."

More like a fright!

As the two were talking, the door opposite opened, and Su Rou came out.

As Su Xi walked, she took off her hairband, and her long hair swayed and fell with her steps.

She exudes confidence and charisma, both flamboyant and cool.

"Xi'er, why are you dressed like this?" Su Rou pretended to be surprised when she saw Su Xi.

Su Xi smiled radiantly.

He stood in front of her with his arms crossed, his imposing presence enough to tower over Su Rou by a head.

"We met at the bar last time in such a rush that I forgot to give my sister some candy."

As Su Xi spoke, she took out a bag of candy from her bag and handed it to her, saying, "Sister is a matchmaker. I am who I am today because of you."

Su Rou pretended to be stupid, "Xi'er, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Stop pretending.

Su Xi was too lazy to play along. "Spiking my drink and deliberately leading me to Zhou Jingming's room in an attempt to ruin my reputation, sister, that was indeed a clever move."

"Just yesterday, I deliberately approached Director Zhu to discuss the role, preventing him from showing up for the appointment. I even revealed my whereabouts to Director Li, hoping that this old man would defile me."

"Sister, don't you get tired of using these moves?"

With her conspiracy exposed, Su Rou gave up pretending. "So what if I did it? What can you do to me?"

"There's nothing we can do, but..."

Su Xi chuckled lightly, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped Su Rou hard across the face. "I may be vulgar, but you can hit me if you want!"

Su Rou never expected that Su Xi would be so arrogant as to actually hit her at the company.

The slap was quite forceful; her ears were ringing.

"Don't think that getting a marriage certificate with Zhou Jingming will turn your life around. I advise you to get out of this industry as soon as possible, otherwise... I'll make you even more miserable than you are now!"

Su Rou covered her face, tearing away her disguise and revealing her true colors.

Su Xi crossed her arms and shook her head helplessly.

I really don't know where she got the confidence to say that.

"Trying to team up with Ms. Li to deal with me again?" Su Xi sat in the chair, legs crossed, looking down at her as if she were an ant.

“I have evidence that you were abducted. You said you wanted to hand it over to Ms. Li. Do you think Ms. Li would still treat you well and continue to support your career?”

Su Rou wasn't afraid. "If you had evidence, you would have spread it long ago. Why hide it until now?"

Su Xi was too young to remember clearly back then, but Su Rou was already eight years old and remembered the truth.

But so what?

She was the one who was trafficked.

Su Xi is still safely in the Su family, so she should take full responsibility!

Su Xi smiled lightly.

Su Rou was furious. "What are you laughing at? Even if you have evidence, it doesn't change the fact that I was abducted. My mother will always love me the most. She will personally deliver anything I want to me."

“Sister,” Su Xi looked at her with sympathy, “being too arrogant will lead to your downfall.”

She didn't take Su Rou seriously at all.

If she had wanted to deal with the Su family, they would have had no place in Beijing's social circles long ago.

"I forgot to tell you, your young master Zhou is having an affair with Qiao Xing, and he even gave Qiao Xing the lead role in another drama. Do you think that just because you got a marriage certificate, you're part of the Zhou family?"

Su Rou covered her mouth and sneered, "Just wait and see. Once Zhou Jingming gets tired of you and puts on the label of 'second marriage,' let's see how you'll survive in this industry."

Su Rou was indeed surprised.

Director Zhu, a very strict person, actually abandoned Qiao Xing and chose Su Xi as the female lead.

She originally wanted to audition, but since everyone thought Qiao Xing was the best, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she stayed behind and observed the situation.

Unexpectedly, Su Xi squeezed out Qiao Xing to get the role.

She went to Director Zhu, but the old man disliked her appearance and assigned her a maid role instead.

If it weren't for the fact that they had a few scenes together in the script, during which she could slap Su Xi, she would have looked down on this minor role.
