The company had always thought highly of her, but her acting skills in the two dramas she took on later were not very good, so Qiao Na arranged for her to play the fifth female lead role.
Song Sheng was the illegitimate daughter of the head of the Song family in Shanghai. When the Song family fell into poverty, the matriarch of the Song family sold Song Sheng to the Paramount Ballroom. Because of her outstanding appearance, Song Sheng became the top courtesan there.
In an unexpected turn of events, she saved a stranger. Later, upon learning that he was a member of the underground Communist Party, she handed over all her savings to Hu Yushu, the male protagonist.
Hu Yushu reported Song Sheng's situation to his superiors, and Song Sheng passed the organization's test and became Hu Yushu's subordinate.
From then on, she spent her days among powerful and influential men, trying every means to extract intelligence for the organization.
Finally, Hu Yushu's identity was exposed. She received the news and risked her life to inform him. When the two were escaping, she sacrificed herself to shield Hu Yushu from a bullet.
Looking at the time, it was only seven o'clock. How worried was Manager Qiao about her not being able to get up!
I got up, washed up, and looked at my own face in the mirror. Thankfully, that fake actress spent most of the money she earned in order to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry on her face, so it's not badly maintained.
But that's not enough.
He channeled his spiritual energy throughout his body, and immediately a layer of dirty, greasy, smelly sweat appeared on his skin. He used a cleansing spell, then took a thorough shower and lathered his entire body with shower gel before he finally felt comfortable.
Standing in front of the mirror again, if her looks were already top-notch before, now she exudes a kind of ethereal beauty from head to toe, inside and out, so beautiful that it's impossible to look away.
After a simple routine of skincare, Li Ruan changed into the cheongsam prepared by the man before going downstairs.
Xi Leng's private villa is very large, with dozens of servants inside and out. When she comes down, everyone respectfully addresses her as Miss Li.
When she woke up, she was the only one left in bed. She thought her sugar daddy had already left, but it turned out he was leisurely having breakfast in the huge restaurant.
The jasmine-embroidered cheongsam should be extremely elegant, but on Li Ruan, it adds a touch of charm.
A look of amazement flashed in Xi Leng's eyes, followed by a hint of doubt: Was this woman really that beautiful yesterday?
Moreover, the way that woman spoke and walked was different from the current Li Ruan. Could it be that Li Ruan was replaced overnight?
"You're up?"
Li Ruan walked over with elegant steps: "Good morning, Mr. Xi."
Seeing handsome men first thing in the morning is truly delightful.
Xi Leng's eyes flickered, and he said in a cold tone, "Good morning, let's have breakfast together."
The maid quickly brought out a breakfast.
Li Ruan admired the handsome man's face again; that imposter really knew how to pick people!
Xi Leng, that's the heir of the Xi family in Longcheng, the head of the Xi Group. Not only that, he's also the family's sole heir, yet he's incredibly low-key. All you can find online is his position within the Xi Group; there isn't even a single photo of him.
The man coughed uncomfortably under the stare, his cold, hard face expressionless as he said, "Eat."
Li Ruan said aggrievedly, "Isn't it because you're so good-looking that people are mesmerized? Fine, I won't let you look. Once I find someone even better-looking, I won't look at you anymore."
Xi Leng's originally expressionless face darkened slightly. How dare she go looking for someone else?
This little lover needs to be taught a lesson, doesn't she?
Li Ruan had already looked away from the breakfast in front of her, and couldn't help but pout, "Mr. Xi, is sandwiches all you have for breakfast? I don't like them. Can you change it to Chinese food?"
Xi Leng: ... "What do you want to eat?"
Li Ruan immediately rattled off the menu: "Crab roe buns, three-delicacy wontons, fish porridge, soy milk and fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and pan-fried dumplings are all fine. If none of those are available, I can also have a bowl of noodles. The noodles must be handmade, and the soup must be pork bone broth or chicken broth, but the oil must be skimmed off completely..."
The butler standing to the side: ...
Xi Leng turned his head: "Do as she instructs."
This woman is incredibly bold. He didn't even say he wouldn't let her see him, yet she's already thinking of finding someone even more attractive. If he doesn't give her the food she demands, she'll probably dare to find a sugar daddy right away!
With that face, she really has the right to do whatever she wants!
Butler: Young Master is so doting. It seems the villa will soon welcome a mistress.
Soon, Li Ruan received a hearty breakfast, and it must be said that the chef from the Xi family was quite skilled.
Not only is the cooking speed fast, but the food is also incredibly fragrant. The noodles are chewy, the wontons are delicious, and even the freshly made soy milk is exceptionally rich and flavorful.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten normal food. Although these foods contained no spiritual energy whatsoever, who cared, as long as they tasted good.
Seeing her eating like that, Xi Leng felt a strong urge to try some too, but that wasn't an option today.
He stood up abruptly. "I'm going to the company. If you need to go out, have the driver take you. If you need anything, you can contact Assistant He."
The contract signing yesterday was all handled by Assistant He, and I also left Assistant He's phone number.
Li Ruan stood up, hooked her arm around the man's neck, and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, Mr. Xi."
Xi Leng remained outwardly calm, but something inside him stung. To hide his unease, he stopped talking, turned around, and strode away.
After breakfast, Li Ruan gracefully got into the Xi family's car—or rather, one of Xi Leng's many luxury cars.
She specifically chose it; it's a specially customized Bentley. According to the driver, it costs as much as 30 million. She's not the kind of person who would compromise herself; if she has the best, she won't use a substandard one.
At 8:55, Li Ruan arrived at Qihua Building on time. As soon as she stopped the car, she received a call from Qiao Na.
"Sister Na~ I've arrived. I'm taking the elevator now. It's the eighth floor, I remember. Don't worry, I'll take it seriously even if I don't have any lines, especially since I'm the fifth female lead."
Her voice was extremely soft, and a man in a black T-shirt who was in the elevator with her felt his bones melt. His eyes were fixed on Li Ruan's face, and in the end, he couldn't resist and took a picture of Li Ruan with his camera.
Jona: ...Honey, can you not talk like that? Seriously, even this straight-talking girl can't take it anymore.
"Okay, then take your time. There's no rush here. I'll have my assistant put you in a queue."
Assistant Xiaoyuan: ...emmmmm, then who was that person who was so anxious that they were spinning around and venting their anger on her just now?
It wasn't that Qiao Na was worried about Li Ruan being late; rather, she was anxious to call her over and ask what was going on with that so-called sugar daddy.
Li Ruan debuted as an actress, and now is the golden age for female artists. She has been frequently exposed for scandals before, which is already a struggle to survive. If news of a sugar daddy is exposed again, then even if the company values her highly, they will have to make a choice.
