After hanging up the phone with Ye Yuning, Guan Siqiong lost interest in continuing. She took out a business card from her bag and threw it to the man next to her, "Contact this man tomorrow, and you will get the role you want."
The man obediently took the business card and went out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Guan Siqiong lay back down on the bed.
"Beep, beep, beep—beep, beep—"
The phone rang again.
Guan Siqiong glanced at the caller and answered the phone.
Since Ye Yuning stepped down, Guan Siqiong found a new replacement.
Qu Ping is as ambitious as Ye Yuning was back then.
Such a person is the easiest for Guan Siqiong to control. She only needs to add a little embellishment to Qu Ping's original ambition, and Qu Ping will listen to her in everything just like Ye Yuning.
"Shouldn't you be accompanying Director Li at this hour? What's going on?"
A girl's sobbing voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sister Guan, I don't want to continue. These men don't treat me as a human being at all..."
Qu Ping was scared. Since Guan Siqiong took over her, what she got was not endless resources, but the beds of one man after another.
Maybe she could accept being so promiscuous, but... they were really scary...
Guan Siqiong patiently advised, "Qu Ping, don't you want to climb up? Ye Yuning can endure all this, so why can't you?"
The girl's sobbing responded to her.
Qu Ping looked at the scars on her body and the greasy man snoring beside her. She felt helpless and scared.
"Qu Ping, please be patient. Director Li has an excellent role. If you can get it, you can rise to the top."
Qu Ping wanted to say something, but the man next to her moved and the snoring stopped.
Qu Ping quickly put down her phone, curled up in the corner, and covered her mouth.
The man woke up. Seeing Qu Ping like this, he immediately felt aroused again and laughed obscenely, "Come here, who are you talking to on the phone? Could it be one of your lovers? I, Li Xiangnan, never play with other people's leftovers!"
Qu Ping shook her head desperately, "No...no..."
How could a man care about her thoughts? What awaited Qu Ping was endless humiliation and pain.
Guan Siqiong listened to the noise on the other end of the phone, clicked her tongue mockingly, and then hung up mercilessly.

Today is the day when Jiang Qiao is shooting for a magazine, and Li Jiao personally sent her to the magazine shooting location.
The makeup artist is a fan of Jiang Qiao. When facing her idol's face, every finger is used to display her talent.
Jiang Qiao changed her clothes and came to the studio, where Zhang Meng was already waiting for her.
The two have been friends for many years.
Zhang Meng is the editor-in-chief of Dream Track Magazine.
Jiang Qiaoneng came to shoot for the magazine, actually to save the situation. Dream Track has suddenly gone downhill in recent years. If the sales of the magazine remain the same, the magazine will probably be disbanded soon.
Zhang Meng saw Jiang Qiao and immediately hugged her, apologetically saying, "Dear, I'm so sorry. I think you've made this trip in vain. Your leading actor today has canceled filming at the last minute."
Jiang Qiao frowned, "What's going on?"
"You know, Meng Gui is now... it's normal for the other party to stop filming."
Jiang Qiao suddenly held Zhang Meng's hand and said, "My dear Editor-in-Chief Zhang, never underestimate yourself. Menggui is great, and so are you."
Zhang Meng suddenly felt aggrieved after hearing her old friend's words of comfort. She buried her face in Jiang Qiao's arms, "That's right. Our Dream Track was so glorious in the past. The magazine was always in short supply. Why did that guy refuse to shoot? I paid him so much money! Wuuuuu~"
The other staff members in the studio didn't know what to do when they saw their boss suddenly burst into tears.
Zhang Meng's assistant Qun Qun came over and asked weakly, "So... Editor-in-Chief... are we still shooting today?"
"shoot."
The one who answered was Jiang Qiao.
Zhang Meng raised her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. She was usually decisive, but now she looked like a child who couldn't make up her mind. "But what if there's no male lead?"
Jiang Qiao: "This world has never been unable to turn around without a man."
Zhang Meng: "But, the theme of my photoshoot this time is love."
Jiang Qiao: "...Ahem, after not seeing you for so many years, you've become a lot more affectionate."
Zhang Meng: “…”
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Wait a minute, I'll call a friend to come and help you."
Zhang Meng: "Is it Mr. Fu?"
Jiang Qiao: "!!! (◎_◎;) No, how did you know?"
Zhang Meng said calmly: "The photos of you and actor Fu traveling together are all over the circle, who doesn't know about it?"
Jiang Qiao: Fortunately, it’s just within the circle.
When Jiang Qiao called Fu Yanci, Fu Yanci was playing his own little game.
Hearing Jiang Qiao's request, his eyes flashed, "I'll be there right away."
Over here in the studio.
Jiang Qiao is discussing the topic of this event with Zhang Meng.
"You have to have that kind of emotion, you know? The kind that makes your heart flutter at first sight? I want to capture that feeling in my film."
Jiang Qiao: "I have an idea."
Zhang Meng: "Don't hesitate to ask."
"Man and woman partnerships in the current market are more about intimacy and ambiguity. Do you want to shoot the most unique one?"
"Nonsense, of course I want to!" Zhang Meng slammed the table and stood up. "But... the theme has been decided and can't be changed. If there's no intimacy or ambiguity between lovers, what can we film? When we film it, will netizens be able to get excited?"
Jiang Qiao narrowed his eyes, "Have you ever heard of a dead lover?"
"Dead lover?"
"Yes, love in this world is never perfect. Everyone is used to seeing the perfect side, so maybe we can show them the broken side. Mengzi, trust me, I guarantee your magazine will sell like hotcakes this time!"
Zhang Meng has always known that Jiang Qiao is a person with her own ideas, which is her personal charm.
They have been friends for many years, Jiang Qiao will not harm her, just take it as a gamble!
"Okay, I believe you. How do you want to shoot it?"
