After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 138 Strike up a conversation
After a while, Alice looked at the time and said, "The mask time is up, let's take it off and see the effect."

They both peeled off the mask at the same time and gently massaged their faces to allow the essence to be better absorbed. Sang Shuwan walked to the mirror, looked at her moist and shiny skin, and said with satisfaction: "Alice, the mask you recommended is really effective."

Alice also came over. "Of course, I did a lot of research before choosing this one. By the way, regarding the promotion of the new drama, I have contacted several popular variety shows, and they all welcome you to be a guest."

Sang Shuwan hesitated, "Will variety shows take up too much energy? I'm afraid it will affect my preparations for the movie audition."

Alice thought for a moment and said, "Then let's pick the most influential variety show and focus on promoting it. This will ensure the popularity of the new show while not taking up too much of your time preparing for the audition."

Sang Shuwan thought this was a good idea and agreed. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Alice, if I act in this movie and it's a big hit at the box office, will I win a Best Actress award or something?" She said half-jokingly.

Alice looked at her seriously. "With your ability, it's entirely possible. We will achieve our goal of becoming the best actress sooner or later. But before that, we have to take one step at a time and seize every opportunity."

Sang Shuwan was inspired by Alice's words and was full of fighting spirit. "Yes, I want to be the best actress. Alice, if I really become a movie queen, what should I do first?"

Alice thought for a moment and said, "I think you can hold a fan meeting to thank the fans who have always supported you. They are your strongest backers."

Sang Shuwan's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea! I can also prepare some special gifts for the fans. Alice, help me think of something to give them."

The two began to discuss enthusiastically, from customizing peripherals to making small gifts by hand, all kinds of ideas emerged one after another. Unknowingly, an afternoon had passed.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun poured into the living room, tinting the entire room with a warm orange color. Alice stood up and prepared to leave, "Shuwan, it's getting late, I have to go back to deal with some work. Tomorrow I will send you the fashion magazine cover design and movie script analysis."

Sang Shuwan walked Alice to the door and said, "Okay, Alice, thank you for your hard work. I feel much better today thanks to you accompanying me."

Alice smiled and hugged Sang Shuwan, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. Have a good rest. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

After seeing Alice off, Sang Shuwan returned to the living room and looked at the sunset outside the window, her heart full of longing for the future. With a friend and agent like Alice by her side, she believed that her acting career would go further and further and become more and more exciting. She secretly made up her mind to work harder to live up to Alice's expectations and the fans who have always supported her. In this entertainment industry full of challenges and opportunities, she will continue to shine with her dreams and courage.

The next day, the sun shone through the gauze curtains and gently sprinkled into the spacious and bright living room. Sang Shuwan lazily nestled on the soft sofa, her iconic long hair casually spread out, wearing loose home clothes, and she was more like a girl next door at this moment, with the gorgeousness and brilliance on the stage gone.

A few days ago, the results of a highly anticipated acting competition in the industry came out. Although Sang Shuwan did not win the first prize, her performance also won the recognition of many industry insiders. Sang Shuwan was calm about the result. In her opinion, the road to acting is a long journey of practice, and winning or losing in a competition is just a small episode along the way. She knows that she still has room for improvement in her performance, such as her interpretation of some complex emotions is not delicate enough, and her body language can be more contagious in some scenes, but she is satisfied with her efforts and presentation in that work, and does not need to worry too much about the result.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Sang Shuwan stood up, walked through the living room with soft carpet, opened the door, and saw Nancy standing at the door with a smile on her face. Nancy had a playful short hair, wore trendy casual clothes, and was full of youthful vitality. She and Sang Shuwan met at a fashion event, and they quickly became good friends because they had similar personalities.

"Oh, our Wanwan, what are you busy with recently? Why do you always appear out of nowhere?" Nancy said as she walked into the living room familiarly, sat down on the sofa, and picked up a pillow and hugged it in her arms.

Sang Shuwan closed the door and sat back down on the sofa with a smile. "What else can I be busy with? It's just announcements and photo shoots. Alice came over today to discuss the fashion magazine cover shoot and the arrangements for the charity dinner next week."

Nancy's eyes lit up. "Wow, a fashion magazine cover! I have to prepare well, I'm sure I can stun everyone. By the way, what dress are you going to wear to the charity dinner?"

Sang Shuwan shrugged. "I haven't seen the design draft yet. Alice said the designers are rushing to make it, and the first draft should be ready tomorrow."

The two chatted back and forth, from the latest fashion trends to the latest popular TV shows and variety shows. Nancy was beaming with joy as she shared her interesting experiences on a reality show, which made Sang Shuwan laugh from time to time.

"By the way, I heard that your last drama received very good response, and many people on the Internet praised your improved acting skills!" Nancy said suddenly.

Sang Shuwan smiled and nodded, "Well, I did receive some positive reviews from the audience, but I also know that I still have a lot of shortcomings. Just like the last acting competition, I didn't win a prize, but I think that's normal. I still have a lot of room for improvement."

Nancy waved her hands nonchalantly. "Ah, one selection doesn't mean anything. You are awesome in my heart. And you work so hard, you will definitely win more awards in the future."

Sang Shuwan felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Nancy. I am more motivated to have your support."

After chatting for a while, Nancy looked at her phone and said, "Oh, it's getting late. I have a party with friends, so I have to leave first." She stood up and gave Sang Shuwan a big hug.

Sang Shuwan walked Nancy to the door and said, "Okay, be careful on the road, and we'll meet again next time."

"Of course, don't overwork yourself. Take more rest when you have time." Nancy said with a smile, then turned and left.

Sang Shuwan closed the door, returned to the living room, and slumped into the sofa again. This meeting with Nancy made her originally leisurely day even more joyful. She knew that in this complex and ever-changing entertainment industry, it was her great luck to have a professional and reliable agent like Alice, and a friend like Nancy who treated her sincerely. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she picked up the tablet beside her, ready to look at the work materials sent by Alice and prepare for the next trip. Although the future acting career is full of challenges, at this moment, she is full of determination and expectation in her heart, and with her love for acting, she strides towards a broader stage.

In the dazzling galaxy of fashion, every gorgeous show is the crystallization of dreams and sweat. When Sang Jiuyue, the soul figure who shines silently behind the scenes, stepped into the manor kissed by the sun, a fashion storm was quietly brewing.

The manor was bustling with activity, preparations for the grand fashion show were underway. The air was filled with excitement and tension, and the staff were like busy ants, moving props back and forth and carefully setting up the catwalk. Stars were shuttling between the dressing rooms, and wardrobe assistants were walking by with dreamy costumes in their arms.

Sang Jiuyue walked to the backstage rest area skillfully. She was of medium build, with neat short hair that made her look capable. Although her simple business suit was not ostentatious, it revealed her unique fashion taste. Her eyes were bright and focused, revealing her enthusiasm and professionalism for work.

At this moment, she saw Ceci. Ceci, a rising star in the modeling world, was tall and had almost perfect proportions. She was wearing a simple white slim dress that reached just above her knees, showing off her straight and slender legs. The neckline of the dress was elegantly square, slightly revealing her delicate collarbone. Ceci's skin was as white as snow, and her chestnut wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders. A few strands of hair fell beside her fair cheeks, making her eyes look more deep and charming, like a bottomless lake. Under her high nose bridge, her lips were painted with a light rose-colored lipstick, and at this moment they were slightly raised, revealing a friendly smile.

"Ji Yue!" Sisi raised her hand and greeted him, her voice full of joy. The clear and pleasant voice seemed to carry a hint of lively jumping feeling.

Sang Jiuyue walked over quickly, "Cessi, long time no see!" The two hugged each other gently. The familiar atmosphere and warmth made them feel as if they were back to the time when they worked together for their fashion dreams.

"You look great today, Ceci. I dare say you will be the center of attention on the catwalk again today." Sang Jiuyue looked at Ceci with a smile, her eyes full of sincere admiration. In the many shows she has participated in in the past, Ceci has always been able to interpret the essence of clothing to the fullest with her unique charm every time she appeared, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

Ceci shook her head slightly and gently stroked the hair by her ears. "No matter how dazzling we are, we can't compare to you, the heroes behind the scenes. Jiyue, do you know? Every time I stand on the catwalk, I know that without your careful planning and hard preparation behind the scenes, even if we models are wearing beautiful clothes, they are just soulless display stands." Her tone was sincere, and her eyes were full of deep respect for behind-the-scenes workers like Sang Jiyue.

The two found a corner to sit down. There were busy people coming and going around them, but they seemed to be in an independent little world. The topic soon turned to the fashion show. "The theme of this fashion show, 'Wrinkles of Time', is very meaningful. I have seen the design drawings. The clothes are simply exquisite. The few sets you are going to show will definitely amaze the audience again." Sang Jiuyue said excitedly, with anticipation for the show in her eyes.

Ceci nodded, and her delicate earrings swayed gently with her movements. "The design is indeed full of creativity, but it is not easy to present it perfectly. I have been thinking about how to interpret the delicate emotions of time contained in the clothes through my catwalk and body language. Jiyue, during the planning stage, do you have any special expectations or suggestions for our models' performance on stage?"

Sang Jiuyue thought for a moment, tapped the table with her fingers, and said, "For every fashion show, we expect models to be the soul interpreters of the clothes. They should not just wear the clothes and walk on the runway, but really give the clothes a fresh vitality. Take the theme of this time for example, you can appropriately incorporate some slightly slow but story-filled movements into your catwalk to simulate the precipitation and flow of time, so that the audience can truly feel the time memory behind the clothes through your performance."

Saixi listened attentively, nodding from time to time, looking at Sang Jiuyue intently, "You are absolutely right, this is exactly what I have been lacking. You are behind the scenes, from the initial creative conception to the step-by-step planning and execution, every link must be considered very carefully. It is unimaginable how much effort is spent on a show. As for me, I only need to focus on those few short minutes on the stage."

Sang Jiuyue waved her hand with a gentle smile on her face, "Don't say that. You models strictly control your diet to maintain your figure offstage, and you also have to practice catwalk intensively day after day. Every movement and every expression must be sculpted repeatedly. As the saying goes, it takes ten years of hard work offstage and only one second on stage. You work just as hard as we do. We just have different divisions of labor on the big stage of fashion. No one is more advanced than the other. We all work hard to present the most perfect fashion feast."

At this time, a costume assistant came running over, looking a little anxious, "Miss Ceci, it's time to go try on your makeup. Time is a bit tight."

Cece stood up and adjusted her skirt gracefully. "I'll get busy now, Jiyue, we'll talk later. I really gained a lot from communicating with you today, and I hope to hear more of your opinions in the future."

Sang Jiuyue smiled and nodded, "Okay, keep going, I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance on the show." Looking at Ceci's back, Sang Jiuyue felt that in this fashion circle full of halos, challenges and fierce competition, it is really a great fortune to be friends with someone like Ceci who understands and respects each other's work. She sorted out her thoughts, cheered up, turned around and threw herself into the busy work, making the final sprint preparations for this fashion feast that is about to begin.

As time passed quietly, the night slowly enveloped the manor like a huge piece of black silk. The manor was instantly lit up by bright lights, like a dream castle from a fairy tale. The seats around the T stage were already full, and the guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing dazzling jewelry. They were full of anticipation for the fashion show. The backstage was a scene of extreme tension and busyness. The models were doing the final makeup and clothing arrangement under the hands of makeup artists and stylists. The staff hurriedly checked every detail of the process repeatedly to ensure that everything was foolproof.

Ceci put on her first outfit, a long trench coat inspired by retro style. The fabric of the trench coat was very sophisticated and of high quality, with a soft and noble luster under the light. Sang Jiuyue walked over and carefully helped Ceci to adjust her collar, gently smoothing out a tiny wrinkle, "This outfit is like it was tailor-made for you, Ceci. Don't be nervous when the show starts. As we discussed before, show the story of time through your steps and gestures."

Ceci took a deep breath and nodded slightly, with a firm and confident look in her eyes, "Well, I remember it, Jiyue." At this time, the music slowly sounded, and the melodious and rhythmic melody seemed to be opening the mysterious prelude to this fashion feast. The lights on the T stage gradually lit up, like the twinkling stars in the night sky gathered together. The first model walked slowly onto the stage with light and confident steps, and a slight exclamation of admiration instantly sounded from the audience, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

Models made their splendid appearances one after another, like lively elves, interpreting the charm of clothing on the catwalk. Finally, it was Ceci's turn. She walked onto the catwalk with steady and rhythmic steps, and her windbreaker swayed gently with her movements, as if the ripples of time were spreading over her body. Her eyes were focused and deep, and every step seemed to be on the veins of time, perfectly blending the retro charm of the clothing with the deep thinking about time. The audience was deeply attracted by her performance. Except for the flow of music, the entire show was so quiet that only the continuous shutter sound of the camera was left. Everyone was immersed in the fashion atmosphere created by Ceci. Sang Jiuyue stood backstage, watching Ceci's wonderful performance on the stage, and her heart was full of satisfaction and pride. She knew that Ceci had done it and perfectly presented the concept they discussed together on the stage.

After the show, the applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time. The models bowed one by one, holding hands, their faces filled with the joy of success. Sang Jiuyue and other staff also rushed to the stage to accept the applause and respect of the audience. At this moment, all the hard work and efforts turned into a full sense of accomplishment, and everyone's eyes were shining with tears of excitement.

After the show, a celebration banquet was held in the manor. The dazzling crystal chandeliers cast soft light, illuminating people's happy faces. Sang Jiuyue held a glass of champagne and looked for Ceci in the crowd. Ceci was surrounded by a group of people, who congratulated her and praised her outstanding performance on the show. When Ceci saw Sang Jiuyue, her eyes lit up instantly, and she politely got rid of the crowd and walked towards her with elegant steps.

"Ji Yue, this time it's all thanks to you. Everyone said that my performance today has a unique depth and charm compared to the past." Ceci said excitedly, her cheeks slightly flushed with excitement.

"It's the result of your own hard work, Ceci. You have perfectly demonstrated your understanding and perception of clothing. This is the praise you deserve." Sang Jiuyue responded with a smile, her eyes full of admiration for her friend.

As the two were talking, a reporter from a fashion magazine came over, holding a recorder in his hand and with a professional smile on his face. "Ms. Ceci, are you available for an interview? And this lady, you are a staff member of this show, right? We would also like to hear your opinion."

Ceci looked at Sang Jiuyue with a questioning look in her eyes. Sang Jiuyue nodded slightly, indicating that she would accept the interview. During the interview, Ceci mentioned the importance of Sang Jiuyue and the team behind the scenes many times, "The success of this fashion show is inseparable from everyone who silently contributed behind the scenes. Just like Sang Jiuyue, she gave me a lot of valuable suggestions on how to interpret clothing, which allowed me to have a new breakthrough on stage. In this industry, the workers behind the scenes are like the stars in the night sky. Although they are not always in the spotlight, they illuminate the entire fashion stage with their own light."

After the interview, Sang Jiuyue smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "You praise me too much. I didn't do that much."

"No, Jiyue, you have done much more than you think." Ceci said seriously, with sincerity in her eyes, "In this circle, many people only see the infinite glory of models on the stage, but often ignore the efforts of countless people behind the scenes. I hope that through such an opportunity, more people can understand your hard work and dedication." The celebration banquet is still going on, with music and laughter intertwined, and people are immersed in this joyful atmosphere. In this lively scene, Sang Jiyue and Ceci talked about future plans again. Ceci said that she hopes to try more fashion shows of different styles, challenge more diverse roles, and constantly break through herself. Sang Jiyue said that she will continue to work hard behind the scenes to contribute her own strength to create more wonderful fashion feasts, and look forward to more opportunities for cooperation with Ceci.

As the night deepened, the guests left one after another, and the manor gradually regained some tranquility. Sang Jiuyue and Saixi stood at the gate of the manor, ready to say goodbye.

"I'm really happy today, not only because of the success of the show, but also because I can have so many in-depth exchanges with you, Jiyue." Ceci said, with reluctance in her eyes.

"Me too, Ceci. I hope we will have more opportunities to work together in the future and create more fashion highlights together." Sang Jiuyue responded with a smile, her smile full of anticipation for the future.

The two waved goodbye, and Sang Jiuyue looked at Ceci's departing back, her heart filled with warmth. In this fashion world full of fame, fortune and competition, their friendship is like a bright and unique star in the night sky, pure and precious. She knows that no matter where their respective careers go in the future, this friendship forged by the fashion show will be like aged wine, becoming more mellow and rich with the passage of time, and will continue to become a precious treasure in their lives.

After returning home, Sang Jiuyue lay on the bed, thinking about every detail of today. From the encounter with Ceci at the manor, to the intense preparation and wonderful presentation of the fashion show, to the chat at the celebration banquet, every scene was clearly shown in her mind like a movie. Life in the fashion circle is always full of variables and challenges, like surging waves, but with like-minded friends like Ceci, everything seems to be more worth looking forward to and better. She closed her eyes with a smile on her lips, and gradually fell into a sweet dream in the vision of the future, fashion, and more wonderful stories with friends.

After a busy day, Nancy dragged her tired body back home and collapsed on the sofa. She casually opened the family group photo album on her mobile phone, and a group of photos instantly sobered her up. In the photo, her sister Saixi and Sang Jiuyue were talking intimately at the art exhibition, smiling. Thinking of Sang Jiuyue's past misdeeds, Nancy was anxious and hurriedly sent a message to Sang Shuwan: "Wanwan, something bad has happened! I saw a photo of my sister and Sang Jiuyue together, and they looked very familiar. What should I do?"

At that time, Sang Shuwan was at the advertising shooting site. The lights were blazing and the staff were busy shuttling back and forth. She had just finished shooting a set of shots and her hair was soaked with sweat. Seeing Nancy's message, Sang Shuwan's face darkened and she avoided others and replied: "Nancy, Sang Jiyue is definitely not a good person. He is very likely to deliberately approach your sister. Does your sister know what kind of person he is?"

Nancy quickly replied: "My sister and I are estranged and we don't communicate much. She doesn't know about our celebration with Sang Jiuyue."

Sang Shuwan thought for a moment and replied, "You have to remind your sister, but don't be reckless, otherwise it will easily cause resentment."

Nancy made a crying face: "I'm so worried, Wanwan. My sister is simple in her feelings, and I'm afraid she will suffer."

Sang Shuwan comforted him, "Don't worry. Find an opportunity to start with entertainment news and mention the negative rumors about Sang Jiuyue and see how your sister reacts. If you can find evidence, it will be more convincing."

Nancy sent several "OK"s and said, "Wanwan, I'm glad to have you. I'll think about how to ask my sister for help."

After the filming of the commercial, Sang Shuwan saw that Nancy said she had made an appointment with her sister. She replied to encourage Nancy not to be nervous and to proceed according to the plan. However, Nancy's attempt to meet her sister did not go smoothly. Saixi was resistant to Sang Jiuyue's matter and changed the subject after a perfunctory response.

Nancy had no choice but to leave the coffee shop and immediately send a message to Sang Shuwan to explain the situation. Sang Shuwan replied, don't lose heart, look for another opportunity, and at the same time she began to collect negative evidence against Sang Jiuyue.

In the next few days, Sang Shuwan contacted people everywhere and finally found someone in the industry who had been cheated after cooperating with Sang Jiuyue. This person described in detail how Sang Jiuyue had operated in secret during the cooperation and monopolized the profits, which caused his company's capital chain to break and almost go bankrupt. Sang Shuwan asked the other party to organize the written materials and attach screenshots of key chat records.

Just when Sang Shuwan was collecting evidence, Nancy contacted her again and said, "Wanwan, I think we need to discuss this face to face. Sister doesn't take it seriously if I just remind her. How about we find a time to meet, sort out the information we have at present, and discuss a more effective way to let Sister see Sang Jiuyue clearly." Sang Shuwan replied immediately: "Okay, Nancy, let's meet as soon as possible. I have collected some strong evidence in the past few days, and it will be a good opportunity for us to meet and discuss how to use it." The two agreed on a meeting time and place, ready to deal with this difficult crisis together.

On the appointed day, the sun shone warmly on Donut Square. The huge fountain in the center of the square kept gushing out crystal water, which sparkled with colorful light under the sunlight. In the flower beds around, the flowers were competing for beauty and fragrance.

Sang Shuwan was wearing a simple white dress with a light blue knitted cardigan on the outside. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look fresh and elegant. She arrived at the square early and stood under a large tree with lush branches and leaves, looking towards the entrance of the square from time to time. After a while, Nancy came in a hurry. She was wearing a casual sportswear and her ponytail swayed briskly with her steps.

"Wanwan, sorry, there's a bit of traffic jam!" Nancy said apologetically.

"It's okay. I just got here a while ago." Sang Shuwan responded with a smile.

The two found a quiet bench and sat down. Sang Shuwan took out a folder from her exquisite handbag, which contained the evidence she had collected about Sang Jiuyue. "Nancy, I've gone through a lot of trouble these days and finally dug up some explosive information." Sang Shuwan said seriously, "Look, this is the chat record between Sang Jiuyue and his former partner. From here, we can see that he cheated in the project and almost bankrupted the company for his own benefit."

Nancy took the document and looked through it carefully, frowning more and more. "This is too much. How could he do this? But how can I make my sister believe this? She has a good impression of Sang Jiuyue now."

Sang Shuwan pondered for a moment, "I think we can start with the opportunity for your sister and Sang Jiuyue to meet. Do you know how they met?"

Nancy shook her head. "I'm not sure either. Judging from the photos, it seems like the relationship developed very quickly."

"Then we have to find a way to figure it out." Sang Shuwan said, "Maybe Sang Jiuyue deliberately approached your sister because she saw some of her resources. Also, next time you talk to your sister, try to use a more tactful way and tell her the things in the evidence in the form of a story and see how she reacts."

Nancy bit her lip, her eyes full of worry, "Wanwan, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to remind my sister in time, and she will be fooled by Sang Jiuyue."

Sang Shuwan gently patted Nancy's shoulder and said, "Don't be too anxious. Let's take it step by step. As long as we don't give up, we will be able to make your sister recognize Sang Jiuyue's true face and protect her."

In the square, the two discussed for a long time, considering possible response strategies from different angles, until the sun set and the sky was dyed with gorgeous sunset glow. Only then did they set out on their way home with firm determination, ready to continue their efforts to protect Nancy's sister.

On a spring afternoon, the warm sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, leaving patches of golden light on the ground. On the bustling pedestrian street, Sang Jiuyue and Saixi walk side by side. The shops on the street are next to each other, and the fashionable items in the windows exude charming charm under the light. As a model, Saixi is always interested in these trendy items. While walking, she pulls Sang Jiuyue and excitedly comments on the design and style of each product.

"Ji Yue, look at that windbreaker. The shoulder line design is so unique. If you wear it and walk on the catwalk, you will definitely attract everyone's attention." Saixi pointed to a neatly cut windbreaker in the window, her eyes sparkling.

Sang Jiuyue smiled and nodded, but there was a subtle worry in her eyes. She and Saixi had known each other for a long time. Saixi was simple and straightforward, devoted to her modeling career, and knew little about the complicated hearts of people in the entertainment industry, which made Sang Jiuyue feel that there was an opportunity.

When passing by a dessert shop, Saixi was attracted by the exquisite cakes in the window that looked like works of art. Without saying a word, she pulled Sang Jiuyue into the store. The store was filled with rich milk and sweet aromas, and the warm yellow lights created a warm and cozy atmosphere. After ordering two signature cakes and drinks, the two sat by the window.

While eating cake, Saixi shared her experience of the last brand show with great joy: "Jiyue, you didn't see it. The last brand show was so dreamy. The huge crystal chandelier cast a brilliant light, and the two sides of the T-stage were filled with rare flowers. I walked on it in a haute couture dress with the spotlight shining on me. I still remember the feeling of being the center of attention. It was amazing!"

Sang Jiuyue listened with a smile, nodding in response from time to time. When Saixi had almost finished speaking, she put away her smile and her expression became serious: "Saisi, there is something I need to tell you."

Saixi noticed that the atmosphere was not right, put down the spoon in her hand, and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong, Jiyue, you look so serious, is there something wrong?"

Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath and said slowly, "Boss Qi called me today and told me a shocking news - you and Nancy are half-sisters. And Nancy has a close relationship with my old enemy, so she must know what kind of person I am. Boss Qi instructed me to find a way to make your relationship with Nancy less tense, otherwise once Nancy takes advantage of your relationship or tells others something that is not good for us, your career and all our previous efforts will be over."

When Saixi heard this, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of shock. She said in disbelief, "How is this possible? I have never heard that I have a half-sister. Could President Qi have made a mistake?"

Sang Jiuyue shook her head helplessly, took out a document from her bag and handed it to Saixi: "It's absolutely true. President Qi has specially investigated it. This is the investigation report. Take a look."

Saisi took the document, her hands trembling slightly, her eyes quickly scanning the contents, her expression becoming increasingly uglier. "This... this is too sudden. But even if she is my sister, I can't conclude that she will harm me."

Sang Jiuyue approached Saixi and said earnestly, "Saixi, you are too naive. The entertainment industry is a big melting pot. Nancy and my old enemy are so close, how could they not have any calculations? Just think about it, if they suddenly revealed your relationship when your career was on the rise, and then exaggerated and said something bad about you, your image would be completely ruined. Would those brands still want to cooperate with you?"

Saixi frowned, feeling conflicted. She and Nancy really had no feelings for each other, and in her heart, Sang Jiyue had always been a trustworthy person. Thinking of this, Saixi gritted her teeth and said, "Jiyue, I believe you. I will keep my distance from Nancy."

From then on, Ceci started to distance herself from Nancy. Nancy noticed Ceci's change and was very confused. Once, Nancy stopped Ceci in the backstage where she was working.

"Sister, why have you been avoiding me lately?" Nancy asked with a look of grievance and confusion in her eyes.

Saixi snorted coldly, crossed her arms over her chest, and glanced at Nancy: "Don't pretend, I know that you and Sang Jiuyue are enemies, stay away from me, and don't try to plot against me."

Nancy waved her hands hastily, tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister, you misunderstood, she and I are just ordinary friends, I never thought of plotting against you. After I knew we were sisters, I always wanted to find a chance to get close to you, I really treat you as a relative."

Saixi didn't listen to her explanation at all, and turned and walked away, her high heels making crisp and rapid sounds on the ground, as if venting her dissatisfaction. Nan looked at Saixi's departing back, feeling helpless, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Soon after, there was a campaign for a top fashion brand to be the spokesperson, which was a great opportunity for Saixi. Once she won the endorsement, her career would be taken to a higher level. After Sang Jiuyue learned the news, she hurried to find Saixi.

"Cexi, this endorsement is very important to you. I heard that Nancy is also secretly competing for this endorsement, and she and her friends are planning to sabotage the selection process. We have to think of a way." Sang Jiuyue pretended to be anxious and paced back and forth in front of Cexi.

After hearing this, Saixi's anger suddenly rose up: "This Nancy really has bad intentions! Jiyue, what do you think we should do?"

Sang Jiuyue paused, thought for a moment and then said, "We should take the initiative and expose Nancy's 'conspiracy' before the selection, so that she will lose the qualification to compete. I have collected some so-called 'evidence', which is enough to prove her improper behavior."

On the day of the selection, the atmosphere was tense and heated, with major media and fashion industry figures gathered together. At Sang Jiuyue's suggestion, Saixi suddenly stood up in front of everyone and accused Nancy of trying to compete for the endorsement by unfair means.

"Everyone has been deceived by Nancy. In order to get this endorsement, she secretly colluded with her friends and planned to cheat in the selection and undermine fair competition!" Ceci said indignantly, with an expression of anger and justice on her face.

Nancy was overwhelmed by this sudden accusation. Her eyes were red and her voice was trembling as she said, "I didn't do it. I really didn't do these things. Sister, why are you wrongly accusing me?"

But Saixi and Sang Jiuyue sang the same tune, and Sang Jiuyue took out the carefully forged "hard evidence" at the right time and showed it to everyone one by one. The people present began to whisper to each other and became suspicious of Nancy. Nancy was isolated and helpless, and no matter how she explained, no one was willing to believe her.

In the end, Nancy lost the qualification to compete for the endorsement, and Ceci successfully won the endorsement of this top fashion brand.
