The turn of the wind was as sudden as it was unexpected.
One day, you could be cursed like a dog, and the next, you'd be a bitter herb or a small green cabbage growing in the ground.
Xia Yiran slammed the tablet onto the desktop, startling Brother Zhang opposite her.
"What's wrong?"
"Is Xia Weiliang a cat with nine lives? With so many fan accounts chiming in, why couldn't they finish her off?!"
Brother Zhang patted his chest. "I thought it was something serious! Oh, Yiran, you've been in the industry for a short time and don't quite understand. The entertainment industry is like this; it changes in the blink of an eye. Even top stars can end up in jail! You think you've got her cornered this time, but who knows, maybe tomorrow she'll make a comeback with a single work or even a catchphrase!"
He then earnestly advised, "What's most important for you now is to build your popularity. There's no need to get so worked up over her."
Brother Zhang was an old hand in the industry, having managed many popular artists. The company assigned him to her out of respect for the Xia family, and Xia Yiran knew her place.
Therefore, she couldn't outright reject Brother Zhang's advice and said softly, "Brother Zhang, you know the feud between us. I'm just upset."
"It's okay, it's okay. With your talents, you'll surpass her sooner or later. I have faith in you!"
Brother Zhang smiled at her mysteriously. "I heard she's going to be on 'Jin Fei Xi Bi' soon."
"Ah, Sister Fei's show?"
No one in the industry was unaware of Sister Fei's hosting style. For Xia Weiliang, with all her scandals, to dare to appear on her show was practically asking for trouble.
"Heh, she's really desperate for fame!"
"So, no matter how much she struggles, it's useless. You don't even need to waste your gaze on her. Heh, and there's something else you might not know. Guan Fei is my ex-girlfriend. Making someone crash and burn on the show is just a phone call away for me."
"Really? Brother Zhang, you're amazing!"
Xia Yiran was overjoyed. With Brother Zhang's connection, Xia Weiliang was finished this time!
Although the fans had quieted down, the couple surnamed Liu was still appearing on various shows, either denouncing their daughter as heartless or subtly praising their adopted daughter's filial piety. Knowing their mother had trouble walking, they bought a massage chair with their first earned appearance fee, costing over three yuan!
Song Yuan felt annoyed watching the show and was about to reach for the remote to turn it off when Xia Weiliang stopped her.
In the dressing room of "Challenge This!", there were a few staff members who felt incredibly awkward listening to the accusations against Xia Weiliang on the show. Yet, the person in question remained as steady as a rock, a faint hint of mockery on her lips.
Was it true, as the show claimed, that Xia Weiliang had benefited from a wealthy family's switch of daughters and was ungrateful?
"Xiao Liang'er, what are you doing here? Come, have some corn! My fans grew it themselves; it's really fragrant!"
Brother Cheng entered and handed her a cob of corn.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"
Xia Weiliang was actually hungry. She had only had a cup of coffee that morning and hadn't even eaten a piece of bread before Sister Huan snatched it away mercilessly.
Her exact words were: Besides your face and figure, what other advantages do you have? Acting? Singing? Or dancing?
"."
Xia Weiliang obediently got into the car.
"Oh dear, lipstick, lipstick, can't eat this..."
Before the makeup artist's assistant could stop her, Xia Weiliang took a big bite and grinned at the young girl.
The young girl: "..."
Xia Weiliang's features were exquisitely delicate and outstanding. Even in the beauty-filled entertainment industry, she could reach the ceiling.
Especially when she smiled so radiantly, her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, charming without being aware of it, her gaze clear and bright, her neat teeth sparkling, making it seem like a pair of small wings could sprout from her back at any moment... Sudan Novel Network
The young assistant blushed.
Oh my god, I'm falling for a woman!
"It smells so good!"
Xia Weiliang exclaimed, eating with even less composure than Brother Cheng.
Brother Cheng was a seasoned veteran in this circle and could tell at a glance whether someone was deliberately trying to please him. He smiled, pulled up a chair, sat beside her, glanced up at the TV, and quickly signaled to Song Yuan.
"Some TV shows nowadays claim to maintain objectivity and neutrality, leaving everything to the audience to judge. Aren't they just doing it for ratings, disregarding any principles? I feel embarrassed for them!"
Xia Weiliang had been quite strong, after all, she had gone through two lifetimes, and she knew all their dirty tricks. But being suddenly cared for like this touched a vulnerable chord in her heart. She lowered her head, bit into the corn, and couldn't help but her eyes reddened.
Brother Cheng inadvertently turned his head and was stunned.
To be honest, he was just showing concern and sympathy out of colleague courtesy, but he never expected to make the young girl cry.
How much grievance had she suffered?
