"Miss Sh, what do you think of being nominated for the international prize?"
"Of course, I am very happy." Sh, 20 years old, added with an excited smile, "As a rookie in the
entertainment industry, it''s beyond my expectation to be nominated in such a grand award. Thank
you for all your support!"
"I hope you can bring more and better works to us in the future, Miss Sh."
"Thank you!" Sh nodded with a smile.
"Okay, cut! The interview is over!"
Sh took a deep breath, and stood up from the sofa. Then, she said goodbye to the staff with a
smile.
Jerry, her agent, walked up to her and put the coat on her shoulders. "You did a good job just now."
"Thank you," Sh responded while smiling. "I could finally have a good rest today."
"Actually, I have other ns for you tonight," said Jerry.
"Really? What are they?" After a short pause, Sh added, "I was too tired after attending the
ceremony yesterday. I almost forgot what my schedule is today."
"There is a celebration party at a private club in Chinatown tonight." As the two walked out, Jerry
exined further, "The guests are all big shots in the film and television industry. Domestic directors
will be there as well. One of them said he wanted to meet you particrly."
Sh''s heart skipped a beat. She knew howplicated the entertainment industry could get, but...
"Jerry," she paused for a second and continued, "I''ve told you many times before. I just want to
focus on my work. I can share half of my ie with you as your payment, but I don''t want to do
anything else. I think you know what I mean."
Jerry stopped in tracks and smiled at her fawningly. "That boss wants to meet you in person to see
if there''s any role in his invested movie that may suit you. Why are you so afraid?"
"We can talk about the movie in a meeting room. Why do we have to go to a — "
Jerry interrupted midsentence, "It seems that you still don''t understand the rules of this industry! We
can''t go anywhere we want. In this world, those rich people are the only ones who have the right to
speak!"
Sh smiled sarcastically in response. How could she not know?
"Don''t forget who saved youst time," Jerry said in a heavy tone. "If it weren''t for me, you would
have been sold as an item to several people. Have you forgotten about it?"
Remembering that night, Sh bit her lips and replied, "No, I didn''t forget. Jerry, thank you for
saving me, paying for my debt, and taking me into the entertainment industry."
"Then tonight—"
"I will go with you."
"Good." Jerry nodded in satisfaction and smiled at her. "You''ve always been a good girl. The boss is
also a Chinese. He has been working alone here for many years. It''s inevitable that he is feeling
sentimental and lonely. That must be the reason why he would go to a private club designed in
Chinese style. There are many people who will attend the party, don''t worry."
"Okay." Feeling reassured, Sh nodded and got into the car.
Inside, she held her arms, pursed her lips, and closed her eyes to rest.
Jerry was not only her agent, but also her savior. If it were not for him, she would have never paid
off her father''s debt. Moreover, he was the one who helped her be a famous star. Thanks to
him, her dream of starting a new life was now in development.
As long as Jerry did not ask too much, she would agree with everything he asked of her.
In the general manager''s office of the headquarters of GM Universing Studios.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in, please." A neat reply came from the office. Sitting on the chair, Barry was reading
documents with a frown.
"Mr. Gu," the assistant came in and reminded Barry, "you will have dinner with the crew of Wang
Zhaojun tonight. We may have cooperation with them in the future."
Raising his head, Barry frowned slightly. "I see." Aside from his calm expression, no other
expression was seen on his face.
"Okay. I''ll leave now."
"Go ahead." Barry nodded and watched the assistant close the door. When the assistant had left,
he leaned heavily against the back of the chair.
He had been working day and night in America for two years. With his own ability and
perseverance, he became the general manager. There was only one n in his heart: go back to
China and find Mary.
When she broke up with him, he was overwhelmed with pain. He knew that he had nothing to offer
at that time, even peace and happiness. That was why he came to the United States alone. Now, he
was at the top of the world.
Next year, GM Universing Studios would enter A City. He was the one who would take over the
position of CEO in China. The only person who could take that position was him!
Therefore, it was very helpful for his career to have dinner with the domestic elites and
communicate with Chinese entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, Barry straightened up, looked at his watch, and sped up to check the documents.
At night, the lights in Chinatown illuminated the ce and the neon LED lights emanated colorful
vibes to the ce.
Sh followed Jerry into a high-end private club. The gate was decorated with many rednterns.
Along the way, Chinese pavilions were seen everywhere. She thought she was in China.
"This way please." The waitresses in the club were all Chinese women. They were all wearing
cheongsam with a distinctive style.
When they entered the room booked by the crew, the director and scriptwriters had already begun
to enjoy themselves. They were holding delicate women in their arms. To her surprise, several
famous actresses were among them.
Inside the room, several women were ying Chinese lute with half of their faces covered. In the
background, a singer was singing a soft and melodious song. Meanwhile, all the men were drunk.
"Oh, my God!" Seeing She in, the director staggered to her side and approached her. He
held her shoulders firmly and said in a drunken voice, "Our goddess is here! Ha ha!"
Sh forced a smile and deliberately avoided his touch.
"What a beauty!"
"No wonder she won a prize despite being a neer! She has so much potential!"
Several investorsplimented Sh, and the expressions in their eyes made her a little angry.
She was prideful deep in her heart. If her father had not failed in business and if her family had not
been destroyed overnight, she would not have been sold. Although she had finally be the
actress she had always dreamed to be, she still wanted to make a difference by using her sole
capabilities. These people...
Sh hid herself from them and sat in the corner, feeling both angry and disgusted. "Have the
people from GM Universing Studiose?" Jerry asked his assistant.
"I just called. They said they had an emergency, but they assured they would arriveter," the
assistant answered. "A manager would be here. His surname is Gu."
"I see." Jerry waved his hand, and looked at Sh before going to the bar counter to get some
wine.
"Hey, girl, what''s your name?" Suddenly, a drunken bald man came up to Sh and asked, "Do you
want to y the leading role? Have a drink with me, would you?"
Sh clenched her fists and said with a fake smile, "I''m sorry. I can''t drink."
"Really? Haha! I don''t believe it." The bald man burped heavily, which made Sh feel like
vomiting. He raised the ss and thrust it into Sh''s mouth. "Come on, drink it!"
"I don''t drink!" Sh pushed him away in disgust, causing some of the wine to spill out.
"You!" The bald man flew into a rage. He was about to lose his temper when Jerry stopped him right
away.
"Mr. Wu! Wait, Mr. Wu! Why are you so angry?" Jerry grabbed the bald man''s arm tightly and
persuaded him, "Don''t be mad at her. She is just a little girl. She knows nothing."
