After seeing Xu Xiaolan, Bai Nanqing felt as if his feet were grabbed by a devil from hell. He was trembling but unable to move at all.
If she wasn't wearing sunglasses, the fear and panic in her eyes would have been very interesting.
Although Xu Xiaolan couldn't see Bai Nanqing's eyes clearly, she could already guess that she was shocked and scared at the moment.
The two of them just stared at each other silently, and Xu Xiaolan's face was the first to show a look of deep mockery.
"Hello, Miss Bai. I've seen your movies, and to be honest, they're not as good as your real-life performances."
Just such an ambiguous sentence made Bai Nanqing almost flee into the hotel.
When she was going up the stairs, her high heels almost sprained her ankle, but she didn't care about the pain. She glanced at Xu Xiaolan's direction behind her and immediately turned around and left.
"Why did she act like she saw a ghost when she saw you?" Qiao Zhixia frowned.
Xu Xiaolan's face was filled with an unprecedented coldness: "Didn't she just see a ghost?"
"what?"
Xu Xiaolan's expression was colder than ever before. "How can a murderer not feel guilty?"
"Murderer?" Qiao Zhixia thought of something.
Xu Xiaolan's eyes were filled with deep pain and hatred.
"Remember what I told you a few days ago? When the time comes, I will confess my story to you, and now is the time."
"I think you're not in good condition. Go back and rest first! I'll talk about other things when I get back..."
Bai Nanqing only thought that Qiao Zhixia was Qin Yunlang's adopted lover, and her purpose of coming here today was to participate in this variety show.
In recent years, many wealthy young ladies in their circle who want to enter the entertainment industry will be forced to play supporting roles in movies or variety shows, and step into the entertainment industry step by step by relying on the light of already popular stars.
This is how she climbed up step by step.
Even though she is also this kind of person, it does not prevent her from disliking this kind of people.
So she immediately informed all the artists and behind-the-scenes workers in the industry, not allowing them to be nice to Qiao Zhixia and isolate and exclude her together.
Bai Nanqing dared to openly make things difficult for the newcomer, mainly because the capital behind him was strong, and everyone knew that capitalists should not be offended.
"You all know this, right? There will be investors present at the recording of this show, and they will be able to select the right spokesperson from among you. As long as you do what I say, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Don't worry, Sister Nanqing, we will listen to you..."
Therefore, when assistant Qiao Zhixia entered the backstage dressing room, everyone ignored her.
Her dressing table was cluttered with clutter and no makeup artist was paying attention to her.
There were even a few artists who were eager to show their loyalty to Bai Nanqing in exchange for resources, and they directly started to mock her.
"Some people! They should just be mistresses and stay as mistresses. They come out to steal other people's jobs. I don't know what they are thinking." The speaker was a long-haired woman in a sports suit.
"What else can you think? You're just looking for a horse while riding a donkey! If you get dumped one day, you can just find a new target!" Another petite but curvy girl with short hair said as she crossed her arms and glanced at Qiao Zhixia.
Both of them are mediocre characters in the circle, and Qiao Zhixia is too busy to pay attention to the entertainment industry, so she doesn't really know them.
However, her assistant Wen Zhu, who was behind her, was a person who could read people's expressions and immediately briefly introduced the identities of these two people to Qiao Zhixia.
The tall girl with long hair comes from a well-off family. She is a former model and was once among the top ten finalists of the Miss Hong Kong pageant.
This petite girl with short hair has starred in several Grade-A art films after being discovered by a scout. She is currently transitioning to acting in movies and is not yet famous.
Qiao Zhixia then took a serious look at the people in the dressing room. As expected of people in the entertainment industry, they all looked good and were very recognizable, but their behavior was not pleasing.
She looked around and finally her eyes fell on a girl who was putting on makeup in the corner. The girl met her gaze through the mirror, smiled and nodded gently at her.
Qiao Zhixia saw the two little smiles on the girl's face and smiled back at her.
This girl is an actress from the mainland. Qiao Zhixia had seen her earlier in an anti-Japanese war film.
The girl seemed to sense the unfriendly looks from the others around her and immediately looked away timidly.
The dressing room was unusually quiet, with only the breathing sounds of the makeup artists and actors, and of course, a few malicious glances.
Qiao Zhixia didn't care about these people's attitude towards her. She waved to Wenzhu and whispered a few words to her.
After hearing the boss's instructions, Wenzhu immediately turned around and walked out.
After Wenzhu left, Qiao Zhixia saw an empty chair next to her and was about to pull it over to sit down and wait for someone, but the moment she sat down, the short-haired girl next to her kicked her away.
Just when everyone thought they could see Qiao Zhixia fall to the ground, she unexpectedly noticed it in advance.
"꾿~~" A disappointed 꾿꾿 sounded in the dressing room, and only the girl in the corner had eyes full of tension and sympathy.
The next second...
"Pa——" a crisp and pleasant slap sound stunned everyone.
Qiao Zhixia retracted her hand and glared coldly at the short-haired girl who did not hide her malice. At this moment, she covered her face with her hands, her eyes full of shock.
"You dare to hit me?"
The assistant and several other actresses beside him were shocked and angry.
Qiao Zhixia said in a cold tone: "You dare to be so mean, why do I have to choose a day to beat you?"
"You bastard, you bastard! Aren't you just relying on someone to back you up so you can be so arrogant? You're just relying on someone to support you, and you'll never have a good death!" The short-haired girl instantly got angry and rolled up her sleeves to fight back.
Qiao Zhixia laughed instead of getting angry, grabbed her by the neck and threw her violently, "If you have the guts, you can find someone to support you."
The short-haired girl was almost thrown to the ground, but fortunately she was caught by her assistant.
The long-haired girl immediately stood up and shouted at Qiao Zhixia, "You must apologize to Mia! Otherwise, no matter who is behind you, Sister Nan Qing will not let you go."
As soon as she finished speaking, several other people began to glare at her, and the girl who had been standing in the corner gave her a worried look.
Qiao Zhixia laughed: "Are you Bai Nanqing's lackeys? If she wants to deal with me, she can come to me directly. Who are you looking down on by letting a few pugs out?"
Several people were so angry that their faces turned red, but the girl at the edge laughed out loud at an inappropriate time.
“Puff, ha…”
"What are you laughing at? A child star who has been through so many rehashed movies and now can't even get a single film contract. He deserves to starve to death!"
"Look at her chubby face and her body that's the same size from front to back. She looks no different from a 20-year-old or a 12-year-old. What else can she act in besides children's dramas?"
The people who had just been mocking and attacking Qiao Zhixia were now turning their attention to the girl with dimpled cheeks.
Qiao Zhixia saw her burying her head, silently enduring the verbal abuse from a group of people, without resisting or giving in.
In fact, the image of this girl is not as useless as they say. On the contrary, her baby face is sweet and lovely, especially when she smiles, she looks like a brilliant sunflower.
Just when Qiao Zhixia was about to expose this group of people, Wenzhu came back, and she came with the person who planned this show.
The person in charge was a young man wearing black-framed glasses. He was very respectful when he saw Qiao Zhixia.
When the others saw the person in charge, they all put away the murderous look on their faces.
"Mr. Qiao, your private rest room is here. I will take you there personally."
President Qiao? When those people heard the person in charge address Qiao Zhixia, they were all stunned for a moment.
Isn't it said that Qiao Zhixia is a mistress kept by some capital? She is just a plaything of capital who relies on men to become famous.
Is it possible that they have some misunderstanding?
Qiao Zhixia didn't leave in a hurry, but looked at the girl with dimples, "What's your name?"
"Relax." The girl's voice and smile were as sweet as ever.
"What a good name, very auspicious! Are you interested in learning more about our Jingyang Group? I am in need of a corporate spokesperson now."
Shu Xin was flattered when she heard this, but the others turned pale as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Some of the smarter ones finally realized that Qiao Zhixia was the investor.
