Chapter 214 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Part 2
While she was growing her hair long, she hoped that one day she would have the courage to confess her love to him.
But she didn't expect that she would be hit hard by reality again.
When she learned that Wu Cheng had someone she liked, and that she was the most famous beauty in the school, she knew she had no chance.
Every time she saw Meng Qianqian at school, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The girl had dyed golden hair, fair skin, pretty features, and was confident and generous, completely different from her.
Every time she watched it, her inferiority complex would deepen, eroding her courage bit by bit.
Despite this, Liao Qian still wanted to prepare a gift for him on Christmas Eve.
She knew that his idol was Qi Xiuyuan, the champion of the World Games that year.
After making inquiries from many sources, Liao Qian found out Qi Xiuyuan's itinerary, took a leave of absence and went out of town, and waited for several days before getting his signature.
When I gave it to Wu Cheng, he really liked it and they talked a lot that night.
Liao Qian originally wanted to take advantage of the festive atmosphere to explain things to him, but she didn't expect to hear his plans for the future.
He said he must pursue the school beauty before graduation, and if that didn't work, he would give up.
He also said that if he succeeded, after his senior year, he would work hard to make money and give Meng Qianqian a good life.
His future was filled with Meng Qianqian, and she was completely shut out.
At that time, she could only stay with him as a friend.
When he is sad, she can listen to him quietly and comfort him when appropriate. When he is happy, she will be inspired and affected by his emotions.
She thought they would always maintain this tacit understanding.
Until she learned that Wu Cheng had really pursued Meng Qianqian and the two were officially together.
That day, in the box, when Liao Qian saw him sitting with Meng Qianqian, her heart was bleeding, but the atmosphere in the box that day seemed not to be very good.
For example, another couple, Mi'er is also breaking up with Mr. Xiao.
She didn't care about her sadness and left the box with Mi'er.
From that day on, she knew that she should let it go.
She never took the initiative to chat with him again, and kept a distance from him like an ordinary classmate.
When she was in her senior year, she was busy completing her studies while looking for internship opportunities in advance. Despite this, she still heard bits and pieces of news about him from Yutong.
For example, how his relationship with Meng Qianqian developed.
Yutong was very worried about her, but she said that it was all past events and had long been over.
She had no idea what happened to them later, nor did she pay attention.
After graduation, she wanted to try her hand in the entertainment industry because she was desperate for money.
Life as a supporting actress is not easy. She goes hungry every day and sleeps in the open air, but she does not complain because this is the path she has chosen.
While waiting for her opportunity, she worked hard to improve herself, watching how the veteran actors in the crew performed, and silently hoped that the day would come when she could play the leading role.
The reality was a little more cruel than she had imagined. There were many young girls like her who were hanging around in the crew all year round, waiting for opportunities. Once there was even the slightest sign of success, the place would already be overcrowded.
In this way, in the four years after graduation, she played only small roles with little screen time, but with such accumulation, she did gain some fans.
But it was still far from her expectations. Not only did she not make any money, she also felt like she was hesitating in the deep forest and had no future.
She listened to Yutong talking about her classmates, how they were doing, and how many of them were promoted.
That was also the second time Liao Qian heard about Wu Cheng. He had already become a well-known figure in the financial world, and the investment banking community called him a "risk hunter."
And she still achieved nothing.
Just when she was wondering if she had chosen the wrong industry, she met her current agent.
That day, she had just finished playing the role of the fourth female lead when she heard them saying that the director was planning to treat everyone to dinner in the evening.
Everyone knew what would happen in this situation. Liao Qian had not planned to go, but was dragged along by a younger sister from the same crew. She said that the director would not allow her to be absent.
It was not easy for Liao Qian to get this role which only lasted two episodes.
In the end she agreed.
After arriving at the scene, she saw that the heroine in the play took the initiative to sit on the director's lap and feed him wine when toasting.
She hated this, but no one present could be let off.
Soon it was her turn, and everyone at the table was waiting for her to toast.
Liao Qian thought that she couldn't lose the role, so she took the wine and went there. She planned to toast according to the normal procedure, but as soon as she went there, someone pushed her on the back and she bumped into the director.
The director looked at her with lustful eyes, a very explicit look, scanning her from top to bottom, as if he was examining a commodity to be sold.
Liao Qian felt very uncomfortable. Just as she was about to move away, her waist was clamped. "I'll give you a chance. Come to my room tonight and the next female lead will be yours."
She endured the churning in her stomach and pushed him away, "Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Before she could finish her words, she was scolded by the producer beside her, "I think the director is giving you face, who do you think you are... You work in this industry, and you come out to be a bitch and you still act like a bitch..."
Before she could finish her words, Liao Qian spilled the wine in her hand. "I know you're honest, but you can't pull it out of your mouth."
"You..." The producer stood up and was about to take action.
But she was stopped by the director. He certainly wasn't so kind and said something that sentenced her to death. "Forget it, so many people are watching. No one in the industry will use her again in the future."
In a nutshell...she was banned.
Liao Qian turned and walked away. At that moment, she knew it was over. This path was completely hopeless...
Never mind, maybe she really wasn't suitable for it. Her steps were unsteady, and when she walked outside, she felt a little absent-minded, and then she bumped into someone.
"Miss, are you okay?"
She looked up and saw a middle-aged woman in a suit, who responded nonchalantly, "It's okay."
Liao Qian passed her and was about to leave, but was stopped. "Are you interested in following me?"
Liao Qian realized it later and turned around, "What do you mean?"
"I heard what you just said in there, girl. You are very brave."
Liao Qian laughed at herself, "It's just the courage of a common man."
This courage blocked his own path.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Since then, she has followed Sister Qiao, and her resources have improved and she has developed rapidly.
As for the director, she later found out that he had offended someone and was set up and sent to jail.
At that time, she thought, evil will be punished by evil.
She quickly made her mark in the entertainment industry, and perhaps because of good luck, in her fifth year in the industry, she finally won recognition from the mainstream award for Best Supporting Actress.
It was also after this that she didn't expect to meet Wu Cheng again.
