Lan Ling came to find Chuzheng later to ask about the Divian audition.
Chuzheng had only received an invitation.
As for how she got it, she didn’t go into detail.
Lan Ling, assured of its legitimacy, didn’t press further.
But listening to Lan Ling, it seemed she didn’t have much hope for this endorsement.
Divian always chose people who matched their theme series, and it wasn’t a case of you getting it just because you’re a popular influencer.
Chuzheng said this time the theme was ‘Lethal Fire’, and with her image and temperament, there was no chance she’d get it.
Lan Ling stroked her chin and sized her up, “If it were an ice and snow theme, I think you’d have it nearly in the bag.”
But it just had to be the fiery series, which was completely hopeless!
Whether it was Lan Ling’s curse or her analysis made sense was unknown.
Three days later, Chuzheng received a call from Divian, informing her that she had failed the audition.
Chuzheng: “…”
Chuzheng slumped onto the couch, clearly displeased.
Such a big shot like herself, actually got turned down!
She gave herself a pitiful hug.
The King’s Account was somewhat excited: [Miss, it’s time to splurge~]
Chuzheng: “…”
Not interested.
Thank you.
[Miss, you don’t have much time left~] the King’s Account reminded her, as the ten-day period was almost up.
Chuzheng: “…”
She didn’t show it on her face at all.
But inside, she was freaking out.
–
A private club.
Liang Xi stood at the entrance, carefully looking around, and when she saw a woman in a red dress enter, she hurried to greet her.
“Miss Zhou, I’m Chuzheng’s assistant. I’ve been waiting for you here.”
The woman in the red dress wore large sunglasses and a sun hat, giving Liang Xi an indifferent glance before nodding, “Lead the way.”
“This way, please.” Liang Xi carefully escorted the woman in red upstairs, “Chuzheng, I’ve brought Miss Zhou.”
Miss Zhou scanned the private room and immediately spotted the girl sitting inside.
She sat on the couch with one leg crossed, one hand resting on the back of the sofa, and the other on her thigh, exuding the aura of a business magnate.
Miss Zhou took off her sunglasses, eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Miss Chi, may I know what you wanted to see me for?”
After her breakup with Chu Anyang and her fallout with Eastern Entertainment, Chuzheng had been quiet since her popularity declined, with little activity.
It was unclear why she would suddenly contact her.
Miss Zhou didn’t think they were very close.
“Please, sit.”
Chuzheng, the big shot, gestured for Miss Zhou to take a seat.
Miss Zhou looked around and walked over to sit down gracefully across from her.
Liang Xi came over to pour tea and then left, soon leaving just the two of them in the private room.
“Here is a script.” Chuzheng’s gaze fell on a document bag on the coffee table, “Miss Zhou, take a look.”
Miss Zhou was even more puzzled, “Miss Chi, we’re not that close, and a script…”
“Just take a look.” Stop babbling.
Miss Zhou was taken aback, unable to grasp what Chuzheng wanted to do, hesitating for a moment before picking up and opening the document bag.
The name on the script caused a slight change in Miss Zhou’s expression.
This was the role she had been vying for recently…
But it was said that the lead role was already decided, and auditions were just a formality, with slim chances of success.
“I can give you this lead role,” the magnate opposite her said.
Such a stroke of luck falling into her lap left Miss Zhou’s heart racing.
Yet Miss Zhou thought something was off.
The script was sought after by many, so why would she be so kind as to give it to her?
The entertainment industry is full of dirty tricks, and Miss Zhou isn’t a naive newbie in the business, she quickly calmed down.
“I don’t accept any unspoken rules!”
Chuzheng looked her up and down with an expressionless face, “You don’t have the features for me to apply any unspoken rules to.”
Miss Zhou: “…”
It’s not that she hadn’t encountered such scumbags in the industry, so she subconsciously thought in that direction!
Miss Zhou placed the screenplay back somewhat reluctantly.
“Miss Chi, you’re giving me such a great opportunity, what do you want me to do in return?”
“Divian’s endorsement,” Chuzheng said, “give it to me.”
Miss Zhou frowned, she thought Chuzheng would want her to do something messy, but it turned out to be just for Divian’s endorsement.
Trading Divian’s endorsement for this screenplay…
Both weighed the same in her heart.
Now, to give up one…
Miss Zhou took a deep breath, “Miss Chi, I’ve already signed the deal for Divian’s endorsement. If I breach the contract, I’ll need to pay a penalty.”
“I’ll pay the penalty for you.”
“…”

Miss Zhou felt like she was dealing with a domineering CEO.
Too bad he wasn’t here to impose any unspoken rules on her.
How does Chi Chuzheng still have so much money after leaving Eastern Entertainment?
The penalty is double the endorsement fee; if she really pays it, she’ll be working for nothing and even losing money. Does she own a mine?!
Miss Zhou glanced at the screenplay on the coffee table.
After a mental struggle, she slowly reached out, her palm hovering over the screenplay.
“Can you really let me play the female lead in this drama, Miss Chi?”
“Of course.”
“Okay,” Miss Zhou’s fingers pressed down on the screenplay.
Miss Zhou made a phone call to discuss the termination, and once she had settled it, the director of the drama she held in her hand personally called her.
“Why did you do this?” Miss Zhou was utterly bewildered in the end, “This drama is a big production, it’ll have much higher publicity than a commercial.”
Divian’s advertisement represents a certain status.
But to really become famous, you still need the drama.
“Too rich to know where to spend it,” Chuzheng responded coldly and indifferently.
Miss Zhou felt utterly defeated, “Did Chu Anyang give you a lot of money when you broke up?”
Chuzheng: “Do I look in need of money?” Chu Anyang’s money is nothing; Bastard is much richer than him.
Miss Zhou: “…”
Nobody in the circle has heard of the Chi family owning a mine.
Fearing further shock, Miss Zhou hastily grabbed the screenplay and left.
–
Although Miss Zhou has resolved the contract with Divian, whether Divian will choose her still depends on fate… if it’s still not her, she could only continue to spend money to make the artists breach their contracts.
Until Divian has no one left to choose.
[…] Sister’s ways of squandering money are always so bizarre.
“Chuzheng, there seem to be reporters outside,”
Liang Xi who went to scout came back tense.
“So what if they are there, what is there to fear?” Chuzheng said with righteousness, “I haven’t done anything wrong. Can’t I just come out for a drink without being hassled?”
“Chuzheng, the media like to make baseless accusations…” Liang Xi said, “Even if you don’t wear makeup, they’ll still say you look haggard because of… whatever reason.”
Chuzheng: “…”
Natural beauty doesn’t need makeup!
Reporters from the media can’t enter the club, so they all squat outside.
When Chuzheng went out, the media reporters had already targeted a man.
“Mr. Feng, can you please explain why you assaulted a reporter?”
“Mr. Feng, as a public figure, you’ve hit someone and have not apologized yet. Do you still have the demeanor of a public figure?”
“Mr. Feng…”
The reporters’ questions came one after another, loud and incessant like a machine gun, irritating the ears.
