Xingyue Media quickly received an invitation from Director Zhang Ciqiu.

Sister Li was puzzled for a long time after hearing about it. She secretly thought that Zhu Linyun must have some ability, managing to get the Cheng family involved to help solve her problem. The most baffling thing was that Cheng Yu, on the other hand, actually reached out to Zhu Linyun first with an olive branch.

The way they slapped her and then gave her a date was truly inexplicable.

Nevertheless, with a new opportunity, Zhu Linyun walked through the company with her head held high, proud and arrogant. She used to be willing to listen to Sister Li’s advice, but now, just not openly confronting Sister Li could be considered restrained.

Zhu Linyun raised her chin, her small-mindedness evident now that she had gained a bit of success. She looked down arrogantly at Sister Li, “You see, people never know where they will be in the next second.”

“Round and round, in the end, you’ll still have to hold me up like a goddess.”

Upon hearing this, Sister Li nearly wanted to slap her.

It was impossible to hold her up like a goddess. No matter how it was spun, it was impossible.

Sister Li had seen through Zhu Linyun, this ignorant, ungrateful person. She hadn’t even seen the future yet, but was already gloating, thinking that she would soon be a big star, making it big. She really thought that because of the Cheng family’s backing, Sister Li would be intimidated by her.

Sister Li suppressed the rage that nearly exploded from her chest and forced a fake smile, “Director Zhang’s variety show is for couples or partners, The Cohabitation Era. Others may not know about your situation, but I still do. Are you really planning to bring that fake boyfriend, the one who helped you avoid rumors last time, onto the show?”

If the truth of their fake relationship was exposed by netizens, this show would become clear evidence, a slap in the face of the audience. It would be surprising if they didn’t get completely trashed by the public.

But what did that have to do with her? Sister Li smirked to herself.

Let Zhu Linyun gloat for a while.

The discarded star of Xingyue—could she really make a comeback?

Sister Li was a smart person. After sorting out the situation and considering her boss Sheng Bai’s assessment of Zhong Er Shao, she could guess that this was a trap. Tsk tsk, Zhong Er Shao wasn’t the type of person who would easily give face to anyone.

What a shame. Zhu Linyun only saw the title of “Director Zhang Ciqiu” and the potential attention it might bring her.

The Cheng family was too naive. With that kind of intelligence, they still had the nerve to push their way into the entertainment industry.

“What’s wrong with that? Anyway, there’s a script.”

Sure enough, Zhu Linyun’s response was as straightforward as ever.

Sister Li gave her a deep look, then curled her lips, holding back a laugh.

Actually, when Zhu Linyun first heard it was a couple’s variety show, there was a brief moment of hesitation. She also sensed something was off, but she couldn’t bring herself to turn down this opportunity. In her mind, being on screen was the priority. Everything else could be dealt with as it came, and with this mindset, Zhu Linyun subconsciously thought the show was trying to use her “publicized relationship” for publicity.

It was a mutually beneficial situation, so what was there to be afraid of?

The two hundred a day for filming was indeed humiliating.

But Director Zhang Ciqiu had said, “If you can’t accept it, I can find other guests.”

Zhu Linyun gritted her teeth in anger. She knew it must be Cheng Susu, that despicable person, trying to humiliate her. If she had any dignity, she would have refused to participate. But the fame and fortune after participating were too tempting. She clenched her fists and endured the humiliation for now.

She kept telling herself, this was just her way of biding her time!

Of course, the contract for The Cohabitation Era wasn’t something she could sign alone.

The contract clearly stated that couples or married people must live in the same room.

This wasn’t a problem for married couples.

But for couples who weren’t really in a relationship, it was a bit tricky.

Director Zhang Ciqiu had also stated beforehand that if their relationship wasn’t intimate enough to live in the same room, they would have to regretfully say goodbye to the show.

With the problem laid out clearly, it was up to the invited guests to decide.

Zhu Linyun didn’t think this would be a problem.

After all, there were cameras around, so nothing would happen.

The most pressing thing was that she needed to ask her fake boyfriend for his opinion.

Her fake boyfriend, Xie Qing, had just opened a gym. She believed that with such an opportunity for free promotion, he wouldn’t turn it down.

She didn’t have anything more to say to Sister Li.

The cold shoulder at the company had been unbearable, and it was really frustrating. After discussing everything she needed to, Zhu Linyun was ready to leave. She grabbed the contract and, without even saying goodbye, stood up and left.

As she walked out, towering in high heels, she casually called Xie Qing.

Sister Li, on the other hand, sneered at her departure. “Tch.”

What a joke!
