An Yu followed her silently, holding the script. When Xiang Wan Ning led him to a secluded corner, he repeatedly confirmed that there was no one around before crossing his arms and speaking arrogantly, "I'm here to inform you that I have chosen you to be my stand-in from today. I will tell the director to find someone else to play the maid. Tsk, I really don't know what's worth filming about this maid!"

After Xiang Wanning finished speaking, she quietly waited for An Yu to get angry. After all, an actor like her who obviously cherishes this opportunity must want to accumulate popularity by playing a role that can show her face. Who would be willing to be a stand-in? Or be her Xiang Wanning's stand-in? Isn't this an insult?

When An Yu is forced by me to give up his current role and will be ordered around by me and treated like a slave, he will definitely be filled with hatred for me!

In this way, after three months, when she finds out that Xiang Wanning has been reported and her actions have been exposed to the crew, she will definitely be the one who contributes to it! I hope they can help. Xiang Wanning thought, it would be best if she doesn’t have to move in three months and can just lie down and log off perfectly!

Just as Xiang Wanning was happily imagining her vacation time, she suddenly heard a voice in her ear: "Okay."

Before she could react, she uttered a faint "hmm". When she suddenly realized it, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the girl in front of her.

An Yu even handed the script in his hand forward, and then said to her: "I have my own annotations and opinions on this script. If you don't mind, you can give it to the actor who replaces me."

Xiang Wanning: ...

"Wait." She repeated her words in a long tone, and then said: "The one without showing the face, it's my stand-in!"

"Yeah." An Yu nodded happily: "No problem, I can definitely play your stand-in well!"

Xiang Wanning: ...

No, eat something good, sister. Why are you so happy to be a stand-in?

Thinking of this, she stood there for a moment. She opened her mouth several times but no sound came out. She didn't know how to react.

Finally, she asked An Yu to pack his luggage and come to the hotel to meet her later. Then she turned around and left with a hint of melancholy.

Weren't her words insulting enough? Xiang Wanning thought, she had thought about all the reactions that An Yu would have after she finished speaking, and had made sufficient mental preparations, but she didn't expect that the other party would happily accept it.

Why? Have times changed now? …

When An Yu went back to pack his luggage, there was another wave of enthusiasm.

The chatterbox extras gloated nearby: "Oh, you got kicked out of the crew by that young lady? I told you not to mess with big shots, now you've got it!"

Others echoed: "That's right, he even reported the company, as if he was so powerful! Now he can't use the back door anymore!"

"I have a sister who works in that company. She accompanies those bosses in counting money every day until her hands are tired! If she doesn't want to, there will naturally be others who will. Why do you want to destroy other people's livelihoods?" Someone couldn't stand what An Yu did and said, "Didn't she do it too? Why is she pretending to be innocent now?"

“…”

These harsh words did not cause any ripples in An Yu's heart. In fact, she was excited about going to Xiang Wanning.

The extra next to her who was on good terms with her had a worried look on her face. She grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Can you ask Xiang Wanning for mercy? You had a lawsuit with your old employer and exposed those scandals. Not many crews dared to hire you... Didn't you fight for this opportunity? Wouldn't it be a pity if you gave up now?"

"Who said I'm giving up?" An Yu packed up her things and handed her script to an extra with whom she had a good relationship. There was still the disappointment in her eyes when Xiang Wan Ning refused to accept the script: "Give this script to the newcomer. She didn't accept it. She must be dissatisfied with my poor acting and the script is not worth referring to."

Her friend looked at her serious expression and asked absurdly, "Is there something wrong with my ears? Why can't I understand a word you said?"

That “she” refers to Xiang Wanning, right?

Why did An Yu look so sad when he said this? !

"Actually, Sister Wan Ning is not the kind of person you think she is." An Yu explained, "She is a very good person."

Friend: …

I don't believe it at all.

Not only did she not believe it, she couldn't help but reach out to touch An Yu's forehead, then touched her own forehead and compared it: "This isn't hot either!"

An Yu took her hand away, pointed at the chattering extras around him, and asked helplessly: "Do you believe what they say about me?"

"I don't believe it." The friend said decisively, and seemed to understand her intention, and retorted angrily: "But that's because I have been with you before, and I know you are not that kind of person. Then Xiang Wanning called you out and acted so arrogantly, and she also replaced your role. Can she still be a good person?"

"Have you ever been with her?"

Originally, it was a question from a friend with some anger in it, but after hearing this, An Yu nodded: "Of course I have been with her, her dormitory in the company is right next to mine!"

She said with some regret: "But I guess she doesn't have much impression of me..."

Anyu was not beautiful before.

After signing a contract with a company for her former dream, she also fantasized about becoming an overnight sensation. However, the continuous cold reception and the monthly salary of 2,000 yuan made her less mature, and she had to start looking for a temporary job outside to support her daily expenses.

But this is too hard, especially when her agent ignores her feelings and does not give her exposure. Apart from the certification on Weibo that indicates that she is a singer and an actor, she has no other works to prove her existence.

An Yu wanted to achieve some results, realize her dream, and prove that the path she chose was right! So she took the initiative to contact Meng Xinlan, hoping to prove her professional ability in front of her and get a chance.

But after hearing her purpose, the other party just sneered and looked her over, and said to An Yu: "You want resources when you look like this? I feel ashamed to take you out!"

At that moment, An Yu's inner world collapsed instantly: it turns out that in the entertainment industry, talent alone is not enough to be noticed by others.

Hearing this, the extras who came over to listen to the gossip couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "You are quite good-looking! Didn't Meng Xinlan also say that you were pretty in the screenshot you posted on Weibo?"

An Yu admitted calmly: "I did it."

In order to have a chance, she found various loan companies and went to Country H to have plastic surgery to turn herself into another person.

When the plastic surgeon asked her for reference photos, An Yu wanted to show him the photos of Xiang Zhinian that were already in her phone. But somehow, she suddenly thought of the arrogant and domineering actress that Meng Xinlan had always been promoting, her name was Xiang Wanning.

So when the time came, An Yu chose Xiang Wanning as his plastic surgery template.

The friend couldn't help but click his tongue and looked at An Yu carefully, then said: "You might as well choose Xiang Zhinian. Xiang Wanning isn't much better looking... they do look somewhat similar."

"Well, the doctor said that my personal characteristics were preserved, and you can't see them unless you look carefully." An Yu shrugged: "I knew at the time that I had found an unreliable hospital, but what could I do? I didn't have that much money."

"When I stood in front of Meng Xinlan again, she seemed to have just recognized me and began to look at me with her eyes." At this point, An Yu sneered: "... She looked at me as if she were looking at a commodity."

"I thought I had plastic surgery, became beautiful, and would get a chance to prove myself, but all I got was her asking me to accompany those ugly and old bosses, and she would only give me resources if I accompanied her!"

My friend asked, "Did you accompany me?"

At this moment, An Yu fell silent.

The unbearable pressure of reality: the debt collection calls, the blame from her parents, and the constant urging for her to go home, saying: "If you can't make money, come back to my hometown to get married! Your distant cousin is still in need of a wife!"

These are horrible.

She has a wonderful voice, is much more hardworking than ordinary people, and has a heart that strives to make progress. Why can't she try her luck in the entertainment industry? An Yu wants to be famous too much.

She thought, just once, maybe this time her talent would be seen by everyone, maybe this time she would be able to solve her current predicament.

So under Meng Xinlan's repeated urging and even threats, she agreed reluctantly.

But this kind of thing, once it happens, there will be a second time. The resources were not handed over to her, but An Yu accompanied many people under Meng Xinlan's arrangement.

"You have no fame or family background, why should I give you resources?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?!"

An Yu's threat was like a joke to the other party, who mocked him with a look on his face: "What kind of storm can you stir up?"

"Do you want to call the police?" Meng Xinlan said, "You did this voluntarily. If you call the police, everyone will know how terrible you are."

When my friend heard this, he couldn't help but pound the ground: "This woman deserves to die. I don't know how many people she has deceived! I saw that she was sentenced to only ten years in prison! Can people like this not be released to endanger society again?!"

"But don't you have a few works? You also participated in the variety show "I Am a Singer". I see you have quite a few fans on Weibo!" Someone nearby questioned: "At least they gave you the resources, right? It's a matter of mutual consent, how come you say it's all Meng Xinlan's fault? If you hadn't been seduced, could she have harmed you?"

The friend got angry and pushed the man before An Yu could say anything, yelling, "How can you talk like that? An Yu was young and easily tempted, so he went astray. Is this a reason for you to laugh at him? Don't you think you will never make mistakes in your life?"

"Aren't you afraid that your daughter will meet someone like Meng Xinlan in the future?!"

The man rolled his eyes at them and went about his business, saying to others, "I'm sure my daughters won't be as self-deprecating as them. Tsk, they just think about fame all day long and don't work hard. No one can save them!"

An Yu clapped her friend's hands and ignored the voices. In fact, she has heard too much abuse and slander during this period, and the online discussions about her have never stopped.

She was not so strong at the beginning, An Yu thought, and she actually thought about committing suicide.

Just when I was standing on the rooftop terrace looking into the distance, I happened to run into Xiang Wanning who came up to secretly eat some takeout.

The other party seemed to have not expected to run into anyone on the rooftop, and also understood that the people she met in this building were all artists, so she pointed her finger at herself and made a silencing gesture, and said to her, "Don't report me, let's eat together."

An Yu was feeling sad and depressed one second ago, thinking that his fate was really uncertain, but the next second he was smeared in the face by the stinky snail noodles brought by Xiang Wanning.

She was a little angry and felt that Xiang Wanning was insulting her. Just because a big star is famous, can he not care about other people's feelings? !

So An Yu deliberately said: "Who are you? I don't know you."

She thought maliciously, would Xiang Wanning be angry or frustrated with her proud personality? When An Yu thought that Xiang Wanning would be like this, she felt that half of her pain was shared by someone else, and she felt a little relieved.

But Xiang Wanning obviously didn't think so.

She was even happier after hearing this, and even patted An Yu on the shoulder like a good friend, saying to her: "Meeting is fate, today we are the most familiar strangers! Come on, stranger, I will share half of my midnight snack with you!"

When she got closer, An Yu could clearly smell the alcohol emanating from her.

An Yu: ...

I don't want to interact with drunks.

But Xiang Wanning had already started chattering, as if she realized that she posed no threat, so she took the lead in pouring out her grievances.

Xiang Wanning said a lot that day. She went from "I have to work hard every day to maintain my persona and it's very tiring, and I have to frame others involuntarily", to "Actually, I admire Xiang Zhinian very much. If possible, I don't want to be her stand-in at all", and finally said "I really want to quit the circle. There is no freedom here. You can't really be yourself."

An Yu felt touched. She looked at the person whom she had once envied. She envied Xiang Wanning for being able to receive strong training from Meng Xinlan as soon as she entered the company and for receiving support from the company. It seemed that she could get resources that she could never dream of with just a stretch of her hand.

But An Yu didn't expect that behind all the glamour there were so many sadness and grievances.

How could Meng Xinlan be kind to someone who had no use for her? So the little envy and jealousy she had left towards Xiang Wanning disappeared, and she honestly told her thoughts: "I just wanted to jump from here."

"Why?" The other party was a little surprised.

An Yu then told him about what had happened to her and the choices she had made. The moment she said the last word, she suddenly felt relieved.

She asked him: "Do you think I don't love myself? I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I actually believed the nonsense of my agent!"

Xiang Wanning patted her shoulder. She was more surprised at why she wanted to commit suicide because of this matter.

Xiang Wanning said in confusion: "But you still have a long life ahead of you. This is just a wrong choice. You can use your time to correct it and help yourself get back on track."

"Can I?"

"Of course, who wouldn't make the wrong decision?" Xiang Wanning was drunk and leaned on her shoulder dizzily: "It's like driving on the wrong road. Once you understand the truth, just turn around and drive back... You didn't hurt anyone else. It was obviously your agent who didn't give you resources! They are the ones with the problem. Why don't you call the police?"

An Yu was enlightened by her words. Yes, she did take the wrong path, but she turned back in time. Couldn't she choose the future path again? But she hesitated because of her words: "Call the police? I..."

Xiang Wanning sensed her uneasiness, so she respected her and changed the subject, saying, "But as for resources, she can't give them to me. I, I have a friend...she should be able to do it."

"Come to the company tomorrow. That friend will have a big fight with her agent. You just need to stand in the most conspicuous place."

An Yu was confused and didn't take the drunkard's words seriously. After accompanying her to have supper and returning to his room, he saw a pile of credit cards and suddenly felt relieved.

She decided to start a new life.

An Yu knew that her parents had always favored boys over girls and didn't care about her, so she called them to complain, saying that she owed the company millions. Before she even finished speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone.

I called again, but no one answered.

Well...she has now completely forgotten the past.

When she arrived at the company the next day, ready to talk to Meng Xinlan about the termination of the contract, she unexpectedly ran into Xiang Wanning who came out angrily as soon as she arrived at the door of the other party's office.

When the other party saw her, he pulled her in casually and said, "Isn't this a person? I think she's quite suitable, I'm going to take her with me!"

An Yu: ...

It turns out that the friend you were talking about is yourself.

…

"Those resources were not given to me by Meng Xinlan." Thinking of this, An Yu said, "Those resources were given to me by Xiang Wanning."

Mu Qinghe, who overheard these words at the door, instantly perked up. She quickly took out a camera from her bag and rushed to An Yu: "My friend, I just passed by here and heard about Xiang Wanning. It seems that many of the things circulating on the Internet are not true. Can I take this opportunity to interview you? It can also help everyone see another side of Xiang Wanning."

When An Yu heard this, he immediately agreed happily.

At this time, Xiang Wanning, who had rushed to the director, had no idea what kind of collapse she would face a day later.

Xiang Wan Ning burst into tears and started picking up the shattered pieces of her personality from the ground: This piece is mine, and the other piece is also mine.
