Chapter 117 Newcomers
Since then, Shen Yichen began to use his connections and resources to help Sang Jiuyue resolve the public opinion crisis. With the efforts of the media and public relations team of Shen Group, the public opinion on the Internet gradually began to turn around, and the negative comments about Sang Jiuyue and the company became less and less, and were replaced by some objective reports and positive comments.

As the public opinion crisis gradually subsided, the relationship between Sang Jiuyue and Shen Yichen also changed subtly. They began to re-examine their relationship, recall the good times they had, and began to try to communicate and understand each other.

One night, Sang Jiyue and Shen Yichen returned to their home together. The layout of the house was still the same as before, with familiar furniture and decorations, making them feel like they were back in the past.

Sang Jiuyue sat on the sofa, looked at Shen Yichen, and said, "Yichen, this time it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

Shen Yichen sat beside her, gently held her hand, and said, "Don't talk about this. We are husband and wife, and we should support each other. I have thought a lot these days. I know that I didn't care about you enough and didn't consider your feelings in the past. In the future, I will spend more time with you."

Sang Jiuyue looked at him, tears of happiness flashing in her eyes: "Me too, I will care more about you and this family in the future. Let's work together to live a good life, okay?"

Shen Yichen nodded and hugged Sang Jiuyue into his arms: "Okay, let's work hard together."

On this warm night, Sang Jiuyue and Shen Yichen finally untied the knot in each other's hearts and regained the love they once had. They know that the road ahead is still long, and there will be many difficulties and challenges waiting for them. But as long as they work together, understand each other, and support each other, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a happy future.

This public opinion crisis also made Sang Jiuyue realize how important it is to balance family and career. She decided to cherish her family more in the future, while not giving up her career pursuit. She wanted to find a balance between the two to make her life more fulfilling and beautiful.

A few months later, Sang Jiuyue successfully established herself in the entertainment industry with her own efforts and Shen Yichen's support. Her career was booming and she became a highly watched star. Her relationship with Shen Yichen was getting better and better. They often participated in various activities together and became a model couple in the eyes of everyone.

On a sunny day, Sang Jiyue and Shen Yichen walked hand in hand in the park. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on them, forming patches of golden light. They looked at each other with happy smiles on their faces, as if they were the only two people left in the world. At this moment, they knew that all their efforts were worth it, because they had each other and a happy family.

In the private room filled with ambiguous lights and mellow tea fragrance, President Qi leaned back, sank into the soft sofa, stared straight at Sang Jiuyue, her eyes full of inquiry and reluctance. After a long time, she slowly sighed, and that sigh seemed to be wrapped in endless helplessness and regret, breaking the almost solidified dull atmosphere in the private room: "Do you really want to terminate this contract with the company?" There was a bit of disbelief in her voice, and more of deep regret, as if a gardener who carefully cultivated flowers was watching the flowers that were about to bloom being uprooted.

Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath, subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, her knuckles slightly whitened due to the force, she nodded slightly, but her tone was particularly firm: "Yes, yes. Yichen has given too much for me, he is very good to me, I can't let him down. I decided not to show up in the entertainment industry in the future." When she said these words, she couldn't help but think of Shen Yichen running around to solve this crisis. Those scenes flashed by like a movie. He had fierce negotiations with media executives in the office, stayed up late in the study to formulate public relations strategies, and for her, he put aside many affairs of his company and wholeheartedly helped her calm down this storm of public opinion. Thinking of this, Sang Jiuyue was full of emotion and guilt.

Upon hearing this, President Qi, who was originally leaning on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight. Anxiety instantly ignited in her eyes, and her tone unconsciously became heavier: "Oh, why are you so stupid! Your man told you not to stay in the entertainment industry, and you didn't? Do you know how much you have paid over the years? From hitting walls everywhere when you first entered the entertainment industry to now when you finally gained fame and status. If you give up, won't all your efforts be wasted?" She really couldn't understand Sang Jiuyue's decision. In her opinion, Sang Jiuyue was in a rising period in the entertainment industry and had a bright future. It was a pity to give up so easily the fame, fortune and glory that were originally within reach.

Sang Jiuyue raised her head and met Mr. Qi's gaze, her eyes full of tenderness and determination, and she said softly but firmly: "Mr. Qi, he didn't ask me to give up, I thought it through myself. Over the years in the entertainment industry, I have gained a lot, fans' pursuit, media attention, and accumulation of wealth, but I have also lost too much time with my family. I missed too much good time with Yichen. This incident made me realize that family is the most important thing to me. I don't want to lose myself in the world of fame and fortune anymore. I want to return to my family and be a good wife."

President Qi frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more obvious. He wanted to persuade him again, but Sang Jiuyue waved his hand and continued, "President Qi, although I can't help you, I can recommend someone to you. I know his ability. As long as he is well trained, he will definitely become the backbone of the company. Moreover, I can be his mastermind behind the scenes, giving him advice and helping you win this time through him."

Mr. Qi was slightly startled, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, he leaned forward and asked eagerly: "Oh? Who did you recommend?"

Sang Jiuyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "It's Su Ran, he is a newcomer I met in a variety show before. That variety show was a music talent show. His performance in the show was unremarkable at first, but I noticed that he was extremely serious in every rehearsal, and he polished every note and every dance move repeatedly. He has great potential, and is very talented in singing and acting, but he just lacks an opportunity."

President Qi nodded thoughtfully, tapping his fingers on the table. "Su Ran... I seem to have some impression of him. But are you sure he can take on this important task? The competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce, it's not easy for a newcomer to stand out."

"I'm sure." Sang Jiuyue said with certainty, her eyes gleaming with confidence, "Mr. Qi, you can observe him for a while. If you feel that he is not suitable, it is not too late to make plans. I believe that as long as you give him a chance, he will not let you down. Moreover, I will fully support him behind the scenes. I will pass on to him the connections and experience I have accumulated in the entertainment industry over the years without reservation."

President Qi was silent for a moment. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. The temperature of the tea had already cooled down, but she was unaware of it. She was weighing the pros and cons in her mind. She really didn't pay much attention to Su Ran, the newcomer, but Sang Jiuyue's recommendation forced her to reconsider. Finally, she sighed and said, "Okay, since you said so, I will meet him. However, Sang Jiuyue, I still think it's a pity. If you change your mind, you can come back at any time. The door of the company is always open to you, and your talent should not be buried."

Sang Jiuyue smiled gratefully, tears flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, President Qi. Thanks to your cultivation and support over the years, I will remember your kindness."

After coming out of the restaurant, Sang Jiuyue looked at the sky. It was evening, and the sky was dyed orange-red by the sunset, which was beautiful like a dream. The breeze gently brushed her cheeks and ruffled her hair, and she felt extremely relaxed. She knew that a new chapter in her life was about to begin. Although the future was full of unknowns, as long as Shen Yichen was by her side, she was full of courage and confidence.

When she got home, Shen Yichen was already sitting in the living room waiting for her. When he saw Sang Jiuyue coming back, he immediately stood up to greet her and asked with concern, "How was the talk?"

Sang Jiuyue walked up to him, hugged him gently, and rested her head on his shoulder: "It's all settled. I've decided to terminate my contract with the company. I'll stay home with you from now on."

Shen Yichen was slightly stunned, then a relieved smile appeared on his face. He hugged Sang Jiuyue tightly back: "Really? That's great. In fact, I have always respected your decision. Whether you choose to continue to develop in the entertainment industry or return to your family, I support you. However, I am really happy that you think so."

Sang Jiuyue raised her head and looked into Shen Yichen's eyes, her eyes full of love: "These years, I have been busy outside and neglected you and this family. I will make it up to you in the future."

Since then, Sang Jiuyue began to deal with the termination of the contract with the company. The procedures were cumbersome and complicated, and required communication and coordination with various departments of the company, but she enjoyed it. During this process, she also began to contact Su Ran and told him her ideas and plans.

Su Ran was surprised and excited when he learned about Sang Jiuyue's plan. He had always admired Sang Jiuyue, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to be appreciated and recommended by her. He said excitedly on the phone: "Sister Sang, thank you for trusting me so much. I will definitely not let you down, and I will work hard."

Sang Jiuyue smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I believe in your ability. If you don't understand anything, you can always ask me."

At the same time, General Manager Qi also followed Sang Jiuyue's advice and began to observe Su Ran. She arranged for Su Ran to participate in some small performances and activities to observe his performance on stage and his ability to deal with the media. Su Ran did not disappoint her. He gave his all in every performance. He was radiant on stage and responded to questions from the media with ease, showing a maturity and stability far beyond that of a newcomer.

A few months later, Sang Jiuyue finally successfully terminated her contract with the company. On the day of termination, she returned to the company and said goodbye to her colleagues who had worked with her. Everyone felt sorry for her departure, but they were also happy that she could find the life she really wanted.

After leaving the company, Sang Jiuyue devoted all her energy to Su Ran's career. She helped Su Ran analyze market demand, develop his acting career path, and used her connections to get better resources for him. With her help, Su Ran's career gradually improved and began to receive more and more attention.

The lives of Sang Jiuyue and Shen Yichen have become sweeter. They go to the movies, go shopping, and travel together to make up for the time they have missed. Shen Yichen's career is also booming, and he will spend more time with Sang Jiuyue after work.

Once, Sang Jiuyue and Shen Yichen went to the beach for vacation together. In the evening, they walked hand in hand on the beach, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on them, stretching their shadows long. The waves hit the beach, making a pleasant sound, as if singing for their happiness.

Sang Jiuyue stopped, looked at Shen Yichen, and said with emotion: "Yichen, I feel that I am the happiest person in the world now."

Shen Yichen gently squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "Me too. As long as you are happy, I am happy."

At this moment, Sang Jiuyue's phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Su Ran calling. Su Ran said excitedly on the phone: "Sister Sang, I just received an invitation from a big-budget movie. The director took a fancy to me and wanted me to play the second male lead!"

Sang Jiuyue was also very happy after hearing this: "That's great, Su Ran! This is the result of your hard work, keep it up!"

After hanging up the phone, Sang Jiuyue smiled and said to Shen Yichen: "It seems that Su Ran's career is about to take off."

Shen Yichen looked at her with eyes full of doting: "You, you are not in the entertainment industry anymore, but you still worry about other people's affairs."

Sang Jiuyue leaned in Shen Yichen's arms and said with a smile: "This is my last time to participate in the entertainment industry. Seeing him have a good development, I also feel a sense of accomplishment."

On this quiet and beautiful night, Sang Jiuyue knew that although her life had undergone a huge change, she had gained true happiness. The warmth of her family and the success of her friends made her feel that all her choices were worthwhile. She looked forward to the days ahead, and together with Shen Yichen, she would witness each other's growth and Su Ran's glory in the entertainment industry.

The afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled shadows on the living room floor. Sang Jiuyue, wearing a simple yet elegant home outfit, sits lazily on the sofa, holding a cup of steaming coffee in her hand. She looks out the window into the distance, but her thoughts have long since drifted back to the glorious days in the entertainment industry.

Today, she is no longer the shining star who attracts much attention on stage, but chooses to retreat behind the scenes and become the think tank behind the company, making suggestions for the company's development. Despite the change of identity, the confidence and courage in her eyes have not diminished at all.

Shen Yichen gently pushed open the door of the living room and saw Sang Jiuyue lost in thought. His footsteps unconsciously became lighter. He slowly walked to the sofa, sat down next to Sang Jiuyue, and reached out to gently hold her hand. Sang Jiuyue felt the familiar warmth, raised her head slightly, looked at Shen Yichen firmly, and said in a firm tone: "Yichen, don't worry, I will definitely get things done this time."

Shen Yichen gently stroked her hair and said softly: "No matter what you do, I support you. You have contributed too much to this family, how could I hold you back?"

Sang Jiuyue felt warm in her heart, and she kissed Shen Yichen gently on the cheek, then stood up and walked to the phone beside her. She took a deep breath and dialed Mr. Qi's number.

Mr. Qi's hearty laughter soon came from the other end of the phone: "Jiyue, I haven't contacted you for a long time, how are you doing recently?"

"Boss Qi, it's me, Sang Jiuyue. I'm the same as usual lately, but I've been busy." Sang Jiuyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, "Let me tell you, I arranged a newcomer, Su Ran, this time. She has already joined the crew and will definitely embarrass Alice Company in the crew."

"Oh? Can that girl Su Ran do it?" Mr. Qi frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qi. How could the person I personally selected be wrong? Su Ran is a very smart and motivated child. I have already told her everything." Sang Jiuyue patted her chest confidently and guaranteed.

"Okay, I believe you. But Alice Company is not a pushover. You have to tell Su Ran to be careful and nothing goes wrong." President Qi warned.

"I know what I'm doing. I trust Su Ran to do things. She will make adjustments in some key links to ensure that the artists from Alice Company will have a hard time in the crew. The progress of their project will definitely be affected." Sang Jiuyue spoke her plan in an orderly manner, with a wise look in her eyes.

"Okay, then we'll do as you say. If there's anything you need the company's support for, just let me know." Mr. Qi said firmly.

"Thank you Mr. Qi for your trust. With your words, I feel more confident. Let's celebrate after it's done." Sang Jiuyue said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Mr. Qi said and hung up the phone.

Sang Jiuyue put down the phone and turned to look at Shen Yichen, her eyes full of light: "Yichen, this time I must let everyone see that even if I retreat behind the scenes, I can still control the situation."

Shen Yichen walked up to her and held her hand: "I believe you, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Sang Jiuyue snuggled in Shen Yichen's arms, feeling the warmth and support. Her heart was filled with strength, and she secretly vowed to make sure that this plan would be carried out smoothly.

Su Ran, a newcomer, was sitting in the dressing room of the crew, feeling nervous and excited. She recalled the scene when Sang Jiuyue found her, and the tempting words seemed to still echo in her ears: "Su Ran, this is a good opportunity for you to stand out. As long as you do what I say and cause some trouble for the artists of Alice Company in the crew, I promise that your future in the entertainment industry will be much easier."

Su Ran gritted her teeth and secretly made up her mind: "I must seize this opportunity and not let Sister Sang down."

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the dressing room door, and a staff member poked his head in: "Su Ran, get ready, it's your turn to film soon."

Su Ran took a deep breath, stood up, straightened his costume, and strode out of the dressing room.

At the shooting site, the lights were blazing and the atmosphere was tense. Lin Yue, the leading actress of Alice Company, was fully engaged in filming an important scene. Su Ran stood aside, watching Lin Yue being surrounded by people, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous. "Okay, cut! Lin Yue, this shot is good, take a break and prepare for the next one." The director shouted with satisfaction.

While everyone was not paying attention, Su Ran quietly walked to the props and tampered with the props that Lin Yue would use in the next scene. Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly and her hands trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be calm and returned to her seat as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, Lin Yue was preparing to shoot the next scene. She picked up the props, and as soon as she exerted force, the props suddenly broke. Lin Yue staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on? What did the props team do?" The director was immediately furious.

The props team was busy checking the props, looking confused. Su Ran was secretly proud, but pretended to be concerned and said, "Sister Lin Yue, are you okay? Is there something wrong with the quality of the props?"

Lin Yue steadied himself, his face looking a little grim: "I'm fine, it might have been an accident."

The director frowned and said, "Pause the filming first, and the props team should quickly prepare the props again."

Su Ran looked at the chaotic set and secretly rejoiced in her heart. She knew that this was only the first step of her plan.

In the next few days, Su Ran created several small troubles in succession, either deliberately bumping into Lin Yue when moving, or deliberately stealing lines during the scene. Although Lin Yue was annoyed, he cleverly resolved the crisis every time and did not let Su Ran's conspiracy succeed.

The morning sun was still a little hazy, but it had already penetrated the thin clouds and gently sprinkled on every corner of the studio. Today was the day when Su Ran and Alice Company artist Lin Yue were acting together. Su Ran came to the studio early, and the carefully selected dress just showed her youthful vitality. She had a signature sweet smile on her face, and every movement and every look seemed to tell her love and expectation for this industry.

"Good morning, Brother Zhang!" Su Ran greeted the crew member Lao Zhang enthusiastically, her voice clear and melodious, like a spring in the mountains. "Thank you for your hard work today. If you need any help later, just let me know!" Lao Zhang was touched by her enthusiasm and responded with a simple smile: "Su Ran, you are so polite. I wish you a smooth shooting today!"

Su Ran was chatting with the staff while quietly observing the situation on the set. When she saw that Lin Yue had not arrived yet, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed across her eyes. She turned to the assistant and whispered, "Go and get the coffee order I prepared. Remember, make sure they deliver it as soon as possible." The assistant nodded quickly and left in a hurry.

Not long after, the delivery guy from the coffee shop hurried over with a cart full of coffee. Su Ran personally stepped forward and carefully checked the labels of each cup of coffee. After making sure they were correct, he smiled and said to the staff, "Thank you for your hard work. This is the coffee I ordered for you. I hope it can refresh you!" Everyone thanked him, and the atmosphere on the set suddenly became more harmonious.

Su Ran took a cup of carefully customized coffee and walked towards Lin Yue's rest area. At this time, Lin Yue had just arrived on the set and was talking to her agent. Su Ran's face immediately bloomed with a brighter smile, and she walked over quickly: "Sister Lin Yue, you are finally here! I heard that you particularly like the hand-brewed coffee in this coffee shop, so I specially ordered a cup for you according to your taste. I wonder if it suits your taste." As she said, she handed the coffee to Lin Yue, her eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

Lin Yue was a little surprised. She took the coffee and said with a smile, "Su Ran, you are so thoughtful. Thank you." Su Ran quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Lin Yue, you are so polite! I am very happy to be able to act with you. I will have to ask you for more advice in the future!" After exchanging a few words of greeting, Su Ran returned to her seat and prepared to start acting.

The scene officially began, Su Ran and Lin Yue stood in front of the camera, the lighting technician adjusted the light, and the director sat behind the monitor, staring at the screen. Su Ran took a deep breath, and a sweet smile appeared on her face again, but a hint of subtle cunning flashed in her eyes.

According to the script, Lin Yue needed to quickly step forward and hold Su Ran's hand after she finished her lines. However, when Lin Yue approached according to her position, Su Ran seemed to move her feet inadvertently, just blocking Lin Yue's path. Lin Yue stumbled and almost fell. Su Ran immediately reached out to support her and asked with concern: "Sister Lin Yue, are you okay? Did I not cooperate well here? I'm so sorry." Her face was full of guilt, and her tone was gentle and sincere.

Lin Yue steadied himself and said with a smile, "It's okay, maybe I didn't pay attention, let's do it again." The director also shouted at the side, "Everyone pay attention to your positioning, let's do it again."

When filming resumed, Su Ran deliberately lowered her voice and sped up her speech while reciting her lines. Lin Yue tried to concentrate, but still couldn't hear her lines clearly, and there were some pauses when she responded. The director frowned and shouted, "NG! Su Ran, speak your lines more clearly and speak slower. Lin Yue, you should also pay attention to the connection of your emotions."

Su Ran immediately lowered her head, looking self-blaming: "Director, it's all my fault. I was too nervous. I will pay attention." Lin Yue also smiled and said: "I didn't keep up with the rhythm. Let's get used to it."

During the reshoot, Su Ran still did her own thing. Not only did she fiddle with her lines, she also deliberately stole the show during her performance. Her movements and expressions were too exaggerated, completely overshadowing Lin Yue's brilliance. Lin Yue gradually became dissatisfied, but she still tried to remain polite and professional.

Under Su Ran's secret planning, the scene was NG again and again. The director's face became more and more ugly, and the staff began to discuss privately. Lin Yue's agent finally couldn't sit still. He walked up to Su Ran and said in a serious tone: "Su Ran, you don't seem to be in a good state today. We are here to cooperate in filming, not to perform individually."

Su Ran raised her head, her eyes full of grievance: "Brother, I really didn't mean it. I just wanted to act well, so I may have used too much force. I apologize to you and Sister Lin Yue, and I will cooperate with you next time." As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red, and she looked pitiful.

Seeing her like this, the agent didn't know what to say and could only sigh helplessly: "I hope you will do what you say."

During the break, Su Ran returned to her rest area. The grievance on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of pride. She picked up her phone and sent a message to her assistant: "Please help me find out what work arrangements Lin Yue has next. I want to find a way to make her do something wrong."

The assistant replied quickly: "Okay, Sister Su, I'll do it right away." Su Ran looked at the phone screen, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer.

At the same time, Lin Yue was discussing countermeasures with her agent. The agent frowned and said, "This Su Ran is obviously targeting you on purpose. We can't just let it go." Lin Yue seemed very calm. She shook her head gently and said, "Don't be impulsive. I think she must have some purpose for doing this. Let's observe and see what she will do next."

The break was over and the filming continued. Su Ran was more restrained this time, but she still fiddled with some small details from time to time. Lin Yue was secretly alert in her heart. She decided not to respond passively, but to take the initiative.

In a scene, Su Ran tried to use the same trick again and interfere with Lin Yue's movements. However, Lin Yue was well prepared and she cleverly avoided Su Ran's obstruction and pushed the plot to a small climax. Su Ran was caught off guard and was unable to perform the small moves she had prepared.

When the director saw this scene, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help shouting, "Okay, this is a good one! Keep shooting like this!" Su Ran felt annoyed, but she still had to force a smile and continue cooperating with the filming.

During the following filming, Lin Yue gradually took control of the situation with her solid acting skills and excellent adaptability. Su Ran's tricks were ineffective in front of her, and made her look even more embarrassed.

Finally, the filming of this difficult scene was completed. Su Ran and Lin Yue walked to the director together, waiting for his comments. The director took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and said: "Today's scene was not easy to shoot. But fortunately, I achieved the effect I wanted in the end. Lin Yue, your performance is excellent and your emotions are very well controlled. Su Ran, you have also made progress, but you still need to pay more attention to your cooperation with your opponent."

Su Ran suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Thank you for the guidance, director. I will continue to work hard." Lin Yue also smiled and said: "I learned a lot from acting with Su Ran today. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future."

The two of them were in good terms on the surface, but they both knew in their hearts that this war without gunpowder was far from over. Su Ran returned to the rest area and threw the script in her hand to the ground with force, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness. She knew that today's plan had failed, but she would never give up.

Lin Yue, accompanied by her agent, left the set. She knew that Su Ran would not give up easily, but she also had the confidence to face the next challenge. In this entertainment industry full of competition and calculation, she must stay sober and calm in order to gain a foothold in this cruel battle for survival.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the set, and everything seems to have returned to calm, but no one knows what undercurrents will arise tomorrow.

After learning about these situations, Sang Jiuyue couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She called Su Ran again: "Su Ran, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you made any substantial progress for so long?"

Su Ran said a little aggrievedly: "Sister Sang, I have tried very hard. But Lin Yue is too cunning and can evade my calculations every time."

"You can't go on like this. I'll think of a way for you. Find an opportunity to tamper with Lin Yue's diet and make her sick. That way she won't be able to film normally." Sang Jiuyue said coldly.

Su Ran was shocked: "Sister Sang, this...is this too much?"

"Too much? In this entertainment industry, how can you get ahead without being ruthless? If you don't want to miss this opportunity, just do as I say." Sang Jiuyue's tone left no room for doubt.

Su Ran hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Sister Sang, I'll listen to you."

So, Su Ran began to look for opportunities to tamper with Lin Yue's diet. However, the people in Alice Company were already highly alert to her, and she never found the right opportunity.

Until one day, the crew held a small dinner to celebrate the smooth progress of filming. Su Ran felt that the opportunity had come. She secretly put the prepared powder into Lin Yue's drink while no one was paying attention.

Lin Yue didn't notice anything and drank the drink at the dinner. Not long after, she felt a little uncomfortable, dizzy, and vomited.

"Lin Yue, what's wrong with you?" The staff gathered around, looking concerned.

Lin Yue looked pale and said weakly, "I...I feel a little uncomfortable."

Seeing this, the crew leader immediately decided to stop filming and send Lin Yue to the hospital. Su Ran looked at Lin Yue being sent to the hospital, feeling nervous and a little scared.

After Lin Yue was rushed to the hospital, the crew was in chaos. The director was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet on the set, and the originally tight shooting schedule was completely disrupted.

"What should we do? Lin Yue is the leading actress. If she doesn't come, how can we shoot the show?" the assistant director said anxiously.

Just when everyone was getting anxious, Su Ran stood up with just the right amount of worry and concern on her face: "Director, Sister Lin Yue and I have acted together before, and I am familiar with many of her scenes. How about I take over first? We can't let this delay the entire filming schedule."

The director's eyes flashed with hesitation after hearing this, but looking at the chaotic scene on the crew, he really had no better way, so he could only grit his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll let you try first, but you must not let me down."

The next day, Lin Yue was unable to attend the filming due to illness. Su Ran successfully replaced her, put on the gorgeous costume of the heroine, and stood in front of the camera. She looked at the eyes cast by the people around her, feeling proud in her heart, but pretending to be humble on the surface: "Please take care of me, I will definitely try my best to play the role well."

The lights on the set came on again, Su Ran cleared her throat and began her performance. Although her acting skills were still a little immature, she was well prepared and this hard-won opportunity made her particularly dedicated, so the first few takes were completed smoothly. The director's frown gradually relaxed: "I didn't expect that Su Ran is really capable. Let's shoot like this for now."

In the entertainment industry, which seems to be a prosperous place with bright stars, there are actually undercurrents and countless unknown conspiracies and calculations. The sun shines through the mottled leaves and sprinkles warmly on the set. The staff are busy shuttling around, preparing for the filming. The scene is busy and orderly.

Lin Yue, an ordinary artist with dreams under Alice Company, is now lying on a hospital bed, looking haggard. Her face is as pale as paper, her lips are cracked and peeling, beads of sweat keep coming out of her forehead, and the medicine in the infusion tube is slowly flowing into her body drop by drop, as if silently telling her fragility and helplessness at the moment. The agent is anxiously guarding the bedside, looking at Lin Yue from time to time, then at the phone, his eyes full of worry.

"Yueyue, how do you feel?" the agent asked softly, with a slight tremor in his voice that was hard to conceal.

Lin Yue slowly opened her eyes, a trace of pain and unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine, I will never give that role to Su Ran!" As she said that, she struggled to get up, but her body was too weak. As soon as she moved, she gasped in pain and fell heavily back onto the bed.

"Yueyue, don't be impulsive!" The agent rushed forward and held Lin Yue with both hands, looking nervous, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, don't move rashly, let's take a long-term view."

"No, I want to go to the set and talk to the director!" Lin Yue's eyes were filled with determination. She pushed her agent's hand away, endured the discomfort, and put on her shoes with difficulty. Every movement seemed so strenuous.

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, the agent sighed helplessly and could only quickly follow Lin Yue to the set together.

At this time, Su Ran was standing in front of the camera, fully immersed in the performance. Her eyes were full of nervousness and excitement. After all, this was the opportunity she had dreamed of. It was a rare leap for her to play an important role in this highly anticipated drama. The director sat in front of the monitor, his eyes fixed on the screen, and his voice came from the intercom in his hand from time to time: "Su Ran, the emotions here should be fuller. You have to show the entanglement and pain of the character."
