At seven o'clock in the evening, a banquet had just begun in the banquet hall on the first floor of Dijing Building.

At the beginning of the banquet, the host came on stage to introduce the long history of the brand H.

Afterwards, Feng Qianqian, who became the chosen one, walked onto the stage in a bright red floor-length dress and shook hands and took photos with the head of H’s Greater China region.

Below the stage, the first few rows were filled with celebrities and media who were invited to attend the event.

The sound of clicking continued, illuminating the already bright banquet hall as if it were daytime.

In the stands, Feng Qianqian had a charming and bright smile on her face, and her whole face exuded pride and confidence.

Her eyes swept over Sun Shiman, and Feng Qianqian curled up the corners of her lips, her smile becoming even more dazzling.

The cocktail party started. Feng Qianqian, wearing sky-high heels and holding a wine glass, walked up to Sun Shiman and said, "Sister Shiman, I'm so sorry. When we contacted H, we didn't expect that he was in contact with you..."

A pair of eyes stared at Sun Shiman, trying to find a trace of unwillingness or anger in him.

But Feng Qianqian was disappointed.

There was only calmness in Sun Shiman's eyes. "Congratulations."

"Sissi..."

When she turned around, she saw her agent waving at her from a distance, motioning her to hurry over to toast the person in charge of H company. Feng Qianqian nodded, turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped.

"Sister Shiman, congratulations to you too..."

Feng Qianqian looked at Sun Shiman with a smile on her face, "I heard that you took on Director Chai's movie, and this time you're the female lead."

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome……"

While congratulating her, Feng Qianqian's eyes were full of sympathy. She said with a look of regret, "But I heard that the heroine in that play is an old woman in her fifties. Sister Shiman, although your acting skills are definitely good enough to play an old woman, I'm afraid that in the end the audience will remember the old woman instead of you."

I think it doesn’t matter. As long as the audience remembers the role she played and is impressed by it, it is enough for an actor like her.

But when he met Feng Qianqian's eyes full of gloating, Sun Shiman suddenly felt that it was not right to talk to a cow.

Seeing that Sun Shiman didn't intend to say anything to her, Feng Qianqian sneered in her heart, said "Excuse me", and then turned and left.

After attending a round of social events, when Sun Shiman was about to leave, he did not find Sister Zhen.

Holding a glass of champagne, Sun Shiman found a seat in a corner.

When he looked up again, he saw Feng Qianqian in the middle of the crowd, toasting with Mr. Ming, the head of H Company's Greater China region.

Are you envious? Not really.

In the entertainment industry, there are many cases where endorsements are snatched away at the last minute.

If it was stolen, it was because the other party was very capable, no one else could be blamed! Is it a pity? A little bit.

This might be the closest she's ever been to the second line!

After this year, she will be 39 next year, and 40 years old the year after.

In the entertainment industry, 40-year-old female stars are the most embarrassing, both in terms of age and status.

By then, she can only take on roles like evil mother-in-law in TV dramas, or supporting roles with few lines in movies.

Her acting career has almost come to an end.

Until he completely exits the screen and disappears from the audience's sight.

"Shiman, Shiman..."

When he heard Sister Zhen's voice calling him, Sun Shiman looked up and saw Sister Zhen with a look of surprise on her face.

At the same time, in the middle of the crowd, Mr. Ming turned around to look at her and walked over with a glass of champagne.

The media all turned around and looked around, then their eyes were fixed on her.

Slightly tipsy, Sun Shiman stood there in a daze, bewildered.

For a moment, she felt as if she was at the seaside, with the crescent moon and stars above her head, the surging tide at her feet, and all the sparkle and warmth rushing towards her.
