Late at night, Lin Shu's apartment
Lin Shu, dressed in a burgundy silk robe, slumped lazily in the sofa, her beautiful face filled with gloom.
The phone screen on the coffee table lit up, displaying: Qiao Xi.
Lin Shu glanced at it, then swiped her finger to answer the call and put it on speakerphone.
"Sister Shushu!"
Qiao Xi's sweet and clear voice came immediately: "Are you asleep? I can't sleep."
Lin Shu casually replied, "Yeah, I'm not asleep."
Of course she knew why she couldn't sleep, just like everyone else.
Qiao Xi lowered her voice, speaking tentatively, "Sister, that Su Qianqian is infuriating."
"Brother Wang is amazing. In just four days, he managed to turn her into a mute fairy. She has an incredible public image."
When Wang Ge and Su Qianqian were mentioned, Lin Shu's eyes grew even colder.
"Brother Wang? Hmph, I know better than anyone how good he is at promoting newcomers."
"Didn't he support me like this back then? He did everything he could... It's a pity that he later thought my methods were dirty."
"Over the years, although he has been helping me, he has also been secretly looking for other new people. He is not wholeheartedly devoted to me."
Her tone was laced with self-deprecation and resentment, "Now, facing Su Qianqian, that white lotus flower that suits his taste, he naturally uses all his charm to fawn over her."
"And that 90/10 split contract with the company was originally something I wanted to use to control the newbie, but I never expected that he would hook up with Chengyu behind my back."
"In his eyes, that contract is nothing but a piece of waste paper!"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. When Qiao Xi's voice rang out again, it was sweet but tinged with a hint of ruthlessness: "Waste paper?"
"But we can't let it really become useless, Sister Shushu."
"We need to find a way to bring it back to life, or find some other dirt on it?"
"We can't just stand by and watch her climb up the ladder by stepping on our faces, can we? You really don't have any other dirt on her?"
"A handle?" Lin Shu scoffed.
"What kind of dirt could a little girl who's just entered the circle and is being protected so closely by Cheng Yu possibly have?"
"It's nothing more than that contract and the fact that she slept with Chengyu."
She paused, her eyes flickering, "But Chengyu protected her too well; it's difficult to even get a few unsubstantiated photos between them."
“Climbing into bed…” Qiao Xi chewed on these two words.
Suddenly, her voice rose a little, tinged with a strange excitement, "Sis! The contract can't be moved for now, and we don't have any photos, so can we get her to give us some leverage herself?"
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Qiao Xi lowered her voice even further, but spoke faster: "I heard that Director Li Mo has finished filming his last movie, and he's working on a new big production, but the second female lead hasn't been cast yet?"
"That film had a producer with the same surname, Li, who was known for mentoring newcomers, especially those who looked pure and innocent..."
Lin Shu instantly understood Qiao Xi's implication, and her heart skipped a beat.
Who in the industry doesn't know that producer, Li?
Taking advantage of their money and resources, they specifically target newcomers with no background, using despicable methods.
When she first became famous, she almost fell for a scam, and only managed to scare the other party away by relying on Gu Chengyu's reputation.
