Shen Wangshu stayed at home eating instant noodles.
For a third-rate actress with no fame and no social skills, being called a star is an understatement. She's been hiding at home for days without a single job offer, but she's not worried. She checked her savings account and found she still had 20,000 yuan. If she was frugal, she could manage to get by for a while.
She's not in a hurry to find work. After all, as an actress, while work is important, scripts are even more important. Once she plays a bad role and gets typecast, it's very difficult to change her image later.
Just like Lü Rong right now, she's almost typecast as a cunning fox spirit. Luckily, she didn't become an overnight sensation because of it, or she would be worried.
"Your contract has expired, and it seems the company doesn't want to renew it." Lu Ke, who was also slurping down instant noodles next to her, casually tossed a mushy chunk of beef into Shen Wangshu's bowl and sighed, "What are we going to do now?"
"There's always a way." Shen Wangshu's current lowly status meant she wasn't even eligible for a contract renewal from the entertainment company. She ate the fragrant beef, nuzzled Lü Ke's neck just as Lü Rong remembered, and then said with satisfied, half-closed eyes, "There's always a way out."
If all else fails, she can sell scripts.
She has experienced so many worlds; even if she wrote down all those lives, it would be quite an exciting story. Although selling scripts also depends on luck, she would never let herself and Lü Ke starve to death.
"Did Zhou Chen call you?" Lu Ke rubbed her eyes and suddenly asked.
"He's probably reminiscing right now, he wouldn't have time to call me." For several days in a row, Zhou Chen didn't even call, as if he had disappeared. But that President Song likes Zhou Chen so much, he must be taking good care of him. Shen Wangshu chuckled and mumbled while holding her instant noodles, "It's better not to see him, so we don't have to be disgusted."
She didn't live with Zhou Chen, which saved her a lot of trouble, and breaking up was a very easy thing to do. However, Shen Wangshu had some regrets; the tens of thousands of yuan that Lü Rong had lent to Zhou Chen were gone for good.
At that time, Lü Rong was foolishly in love with Zhou Chen and believed everything he said, even his words about "borrowing some money for charity".
Oh well... consider it tuition.
"If he contacts you, don't be soft-hearted again," Lu Kezhen warned solemnly.
Zhou Chen was so heartless as to offer Lü Rong to an old man. Even if it didn't work this time, who can guarantee that she will be so lucky every time?
If something goes wrong, it will be too late for regrets.
"I understand," Shen Wangshu said with a smile.
Her charming eyes were slightly upturned in a curved arc, and the corners of her eyes were a little red, giving her an unusual allure.
Lü Ke sighed helplessly.
She looks exactly like a vixen.
Although she is beautiful, she is too uncouth, and her image is truly worrying.
"I met some people from entertainment companies a while ago, I'll ask them for you later." She knew her good friend didn't want to leave the entertainment industry. Seeing her nod trustingly, and then craning her neck to look at the beef in her bowl with a carefree expression, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
She reached out and flicked Shen Wangshu's forehead. Seeing Shen's shimmering eyes sweep over her with a mournful look, she snorted. Just as she was about to pinch that devilish face, her phone rang. She looked down and saw it was an unfamiliar number. She put her rice bowl on the table, got up, and went to the window to answer the phone.
Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Wangshu deftly snatched the meat from her bowl.
While giving Shen Wangshu a cold look, Lü Ke asked in a serious tone, "May I ask who you are?"
"Miss Lü?" A young man's hoarse voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, came from behind.
As Lü Ke responded, she listened to the young man's self-introduction. After a short while, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She seemed stunned by the content of the phone call, frozen by the window, almost speechless, but her face slowly revealed a mixture of doubt, joy, and excitement.
She nodded repeatedly, and finally assured him in a sincere tone that Shen Wangshu's contract had expired. Only then did she arrange a meeting time with the other party, put down the phone, and quickly walked up to Shen Wangshu, exclaiming with delight, "I really didn't expect that you would have such a lucky day!"
Shen Wangshu's cheeks were chubby as he looked up at her blankly, his mouth constantly chewing.
"You ate my meat again!" Seeing that only noodles were left in her instant noodles, Lü angrily poked Shen Wangshu's forehead.
Shen Wangshu hurriedly bowed to her in a flattering manner.
This seemed to be the way Lü Rong and Lü Ke interacted. Although Shen Wangshu was a little unaccustomed to it, she felt very familiar with it. In just thirty minutes, she was already snuggling into Lü Ke's arms, grabbing potato chips and eating them with a big smile, just like Lü Rong.
She felt very comfortable. Seeing that Lü Ke was holding her more skillfully while browsing some information on a laptop, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does 'turning the tide' mean? Does it mean a company is willing to sign me?" Judging from Lü Ke's appearance, the company that wanted to sign her must be quite influential.
“It’s Starlight Joy.” Lu Ke quickly glanced at some information on the computer and said with a smile.
Her eyes seemed to be shining, and Shen Wangshu also showed a surprised expression.
Starlight Entertainment is a company that has risen rapidly this year. Although it doesn't have a large roster of artists, each one possesses unique characteristics. Furthermore, several dramas produced by the company in recent years have been extremely successful, despite mixed reviews. For example, the melodramatic and over-the-top drama "Rich Mother-in-Law, Rich Mom" made the character of the seemingly fragile yet resilient female lead a star. (Lu)
