After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 59 Nancy's Help

Jiang Cimu was thinking about the next plan. He knew that this failure meant that they would face more difficulties and challenges. The intelligence provided by his friend was wrong, which made him realize that the enemy's power was far more complex and powerful than they imagined. After returning home, he went straight to the study, sat at the desk, turned on the computer, and began to search for information about plastic surgery and disguise technology, trying to find some clues to see if it was possible to change a person's appearance in a short time without being noticed.

Sang Shuwan followed in and sat on a chair nearby, staring out the window with empty eyes. After a long while, she said, "Maybe we were going in the wrong direction from the beginning. We shouldn't just rely on your friend's information. We should investigate through multiple channels." Her voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of self-blame and regret. She folded her hands in front of her chest and curled up slightly, as if this would give her some sense of security.

Jiang Ci Mu raised his head and looked at her, with a hint of comfort in his eyes: "This is not your fault, we all underestimated her. But you are right, we have to change our strategy next." His eyes became firm, and he crossed his hands and clenched them tightly, as if to cheer himself up and convey confidence to Sang Shuwan.

They began to re-examine the clues of the whole incident, from Sang Jiuyue's every move at the wedding, to her disappearance later, and the woman who was found in the club who looked like her. Every detail was not missed, trying to find some overlooked key information. Unknowingly, the day had dawned, and the sun shone through the window on them, reflecting two tired but persistent figures. Although the road ahead was confusing, they all had a belief in their hearts that they must uncover Sang Jiuyue's true face and let the truth come to light, even if it took more effort and cost.

As soon as Sang Shuwan got home, her cell phone rang quickly. It was Alice calling. On the other end of the phone, Alice's voice was full of excitement: "Shuwan, Nancy is back! She sent us two VIP cards for the beauty sanatorium she opened, inviting us to experience it. This is the top sanatorium in the country!"

Sang Shuwan was slightly startled, and the image of Nancy emerged in her mind. Nancy was a powerful CEO whom she and Alice met when they were traveling in Xinjiang. They had a great conversation and formed a deep friendship. Thinking of this, Sang Shuwan agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'd love to go."

Jiang Cimu, who was standing by, heard her answer and couldn't help but ask, "Who is Nancy?"

Sang Shuwan put down her phone, turned to Jiang Cimu and told him everything, "She is a friend that Alice and I met when we were traveling. She is a very capable person." After she finished speaking, her eyes revealed a hint of expectation, "Tomorrow we will go to Nancy's beauty salon together. Maybe we can find clues about Sang Jiuyue there. After all, if you want to change your appearance in just a few days, only this kind of top institution in the country can do it."

After hearing this, Jiang Cimu nodded slightly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Okay, maybe this is an opportunity."

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Sang Shuwan and Jiang Cimu came to Nancy's beauty sanatorium as agreed. The exterior design of the sanatorium was unique, and the modern architectural style was perfectly integrated with the surrounding natural landscape. The white walls looked particularly clean and solemn under the sunlight. The security guards at the door were dressed in neat uniforms and politely opened the door for them, as if welcoming distinguished guests.

Walking into the lobby, the interior decoration is luxurious and elegant, the marble floor is shiny, and the crystal chandelier emits a soft and bright light, which is reflected on the surrounding walls, reflecting a faint golden halo. The staff at the reception desk are dressed in uniform and greeted them with a smile: "Welcome, how can I help you?"

Sang Shuwan reported his name, and the staff immediately said respectfully: "So you are Miss Nancy's guest, please follow me." They followed the staff through a long corridor with some art paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor, adding a strong cultural atmosphere to the whole space.

Soon, they came to a spacious and bright rest area, where Alice had been waiting for a long time. When Alice saw them, she immediately stood up and greeted them, giving Sang Shuwan a warm hug: "Shuwan, you are here! This must be Mr. Jiang Cimu, I have heard a lot about you."

After the three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, Nancy also hurried over. Nancy was wearing an exquisite professional suit, with her hair neatly tied behind her head, looking capable and elegant. Her face was filled with a warm smile: "Long time no see, friends! You must experience the projects of our nursing home today."

Led by Nancy, they began to visit the sanatorium. Each room was equipped with the most advanced beauty equipment, from high-tech skin testing instruments to various professional nursing facilities, all of which made people feel the professionalism and high-end nature of this sanatorium.

While touring, Sang Shuwan calmly asked Nancy, "Nancy, your sanatorium is the best in the country. Have you ever heard of anyone asking to change their appearance in a short period of time?"

Nancy frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "We have always followed the regular beauty procedures here and would not do anything that goes against common sense. However, there are some rumors in the industry that some underground organizations may provide such illegal services, but the risks are very high, and once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jiang Cimu then asked: "Then do you know any such underground organizations?"

Nancy shook her head. "I'm not sure about that. After all, we are a legitimate business. But I can ask around for you and see if I can find some clues."

Sang Shuwan said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, Nancy. This matter is very important to us."

After the visit, they came to a luxurious VIP room and enjoyed the exquisite refreshments prepared by Nancy. However, Sang Shuwan's mind was always on finding clues about Sang Jiuyue. She didn't know whether this trip to the beauty sanatorium would yield any results, but at least, this was a new direction that allowed her to see a ray of light in this fog.

Sang Jiuyue's whereabouts were unknown, like a haze, weighing heavily on Jiang Cimu and Sang Shuwan's hearts. Jiang Cimu sat in front of the window, looking into the distance with a serious look in his eyes, his fingers tapping on the windowsill unconsciously, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound, and each tap seemed to hit his anxious heart.

"Sang Jiyue is a narrow-minded person who will never let go of any grudge. She will definitely not let it go after suffering a loss this time." Jiang Cimu frowned, his voice low and full of worry, and turned to look at Sang Shuwan who was sitting on the sofa, "Last time she was able to bribe the gangster boss to deal with me, who knows what tricks she will use this time."

Sang Shuwan bit her lips tightly, clasped her hands tightly together, and her knuckles turned slightly white due to the force. Her eyes revealed a trace of anger and helplessness: "It was obviously she who bullied me first. She did so many bad things, and now she hides and plots against us." Thinking of what Sang Jiuyue did at the wedding, Sang Shuwan's heart surged with anger, and her cheeks flushed slightly because of anger.

Jiang Ci Mu sighed slightly, stood up and walked to the sofa and sat down, patted Sang Shuwan's shoulder gently, trying to comfort her: "Don't worry, we are not the kind of people who will sit and wait for death. Since she dares to show up, she will definitely leave clues. What we have to do now is to be careful and at the same time speed up the pace of looking for her." His eyes revealed firmness and determination, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness, although weak, it was enough to support him to move forward.

Sang Shuwan raised her head, looked at Jiang Ci Mu, and nodded slightly: "Well, I know. But I feel uneasy when I think that she might be planning something in secret." Her voice trembled a little, and her body leaned towards Jiang Ci Mu unconsciously, as if only in this way could she get some sense of security.

The two fell into a brief silence, each thinking about their own thoughts. Jiang Cimu kept thinking about Sang Jiuyue's figure and the means of revenge she might take. He secretly swore in his heart that he must protect Sang Shuwan and not let her get hurt. Sang Shuwan was thinking about how to find Sang Jiuyue as soon as possible, expose her true face, and make her pay for what she did.

"Maybe we can start with the people around her, such as the makeup artist. He must know something about Sang Jiuyue's whereabouts." Sang Shuwan suddenly broke the silence, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Jiang Cimu's eyes lit up and he nodded: "You are right, I will go check the whereabouts of the makeup artist right away." He stood up and prepared to call the contact to investigate.

At this moment, Jiang Cimu's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition in his heart, but still pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

A voice processed by a voice changer came from the other end of the phone, saying grimly: "Jiang Ci Mu, just wait, I will make you pay for what you have done!" After that, the other party hung up the phone.

Jiang Cimu's face turned very ugly. He clenched his phone tightly, his eyes revealing anger and vigilance: "It's Sang Jiuyue, she has started to act."

Sang Shuwan gently held Jiang Cimu's hand, looked at him firmly, and said softly: "Cimu, don't let her succeed. I will protect myself well, and you too, you must be careful. People like her just want to deliberately provoke us, we can't fall into her trap, it's not worth getting angry and worried about her words."

Jiang Cimu took a deep breath, held Sang Shuwan's hand back, and nodded slightly: "Well, you are right. We can't let her disturb our minds."

The two smiled at each other, temporarily putting aside their worries. Sang Shuwan walked to the dressing table, picked up a towel, soaked it and gently wiped her face, letting the tiredness flow away with the water. Jiang Cimu also washed up briefly, and the cool water refreshed him.

After washing up, Sang Shuwan lit a lavender incense stick. The light fragrance filled the room, soothing the two people's tense nerves. "Go to sleep. I'm too tired today." Sang Shuwan said softly, with sleepiness in his eyes.

Jiang Cimu tucked the quilt in for her and gently kissed her forehead: "Okay, go to sleep, I'm here."

The two of them lay on the bed, surrounded by the scent of incense, and gradually fell asleep. The moonlight sprinkled in front of the window, adding a touch of peace to the quiet night, as if temporarily isolating them from the disturbances of the outside world.

The morning light shines through the thin curtains and onto the faces of Jiang Cimu and Sang Shuwan, awakening the couple who are immersed in tranquility. Outside the window, birds are singing happily, and the breeze is blowing the flowers on the branches, emitting bursts of sweet fragrance, as if nature is presenting all the beauty to them at this moment.

Sang Shuwan slowly woke up, looking at Jiang Cimu who was still sleeping beside her, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and she reached out and gently stroked his face. Jiang Cimu seemed to have sensed something, and slowly opened his eyes, with a trace of laziness in his eyes. The moment he saw Sang Shuwan, his eyes were filled with tenderness and love: "Morning, dear."

"Good morning." Sang Shuwan responded softly, his voice still soft and tender as if he had just woken up.

The two of them got up, washed up briefly, and then walked out of the house hand in hand, stepping into this vibrant world. The warm sunlight shone on their bodies, as if it could dispel all the haze. They walked slowly along the path beside the street, admiring the scenery along the way, temporarily leaving behind the troubles brought by Sang Jiuyue.

As they walked, Sang Shuwan's steps gradually slowed down, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face. Jiang Cimu noticed her strangeness and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Shuwan? Is there something on your mind?"

The glimmer of morning light, like a thin veil, carefully sprinkled in every corner of the room through the gaps in the gauze curtains, as if gently awakening the sleeping world. In the most luxurious apartment in the city, Sang Shuwan woke up slowly, her eyes still a little sleepy. She raised her hand to rub her eyes in a sleepy state, and then looked up at the simple clock. The hands of the clock seemed to be urged by an invisible force, slowly but firmly pointing to the time when work was approaching. The angle formed by the minute hand and the hour hand seemed to silently announce the urgency of time.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late!" Sang Shuwan cried out, and hurriedly got out of bed, slipping on her slippers, and hurriedly walked to the bathroom. On the washstand were the top-quality toiletries she had collected from all over the world, and in the mirror was her slightly flustered but somewhat cute face. After a simple wash, she came to the spacious cloakroom.

This place is like a fashion treasure house, full of various high-end dresses, fashionable suits and exquisite accessories. Sang Shuwan's eyes quickly swept through the rows of clothes and finally chose a long black trench coat that dragged on the ground. This trench coat was tailored by a well-known designer. The well-cut trench coat showed her slender and tall figure to the fullest. The hem fluttered gently in the wind, as if it was a fairy dancing in the night. The collar of the trench coat was slightly open, revealing a white silk shirt inside. The delicate buttons on the shirt flashed a soft light, which contrasted with the black trench coat, adding a sense of nobility and elegance. Her lower body was matched with a pair of black tights, tightly wrapped around her slender and straight legs. She was wearing a pair of black stiletto high heels on her feet. The uppers were inlaid with dazzling diamonds. Every step she took made a crisp and pleasant sound, as if she was playing a gorgeous piece of music.

After getting dressed, Sang Shuwan came to the dressing table. Her hands skillfully picked up various makeup tools, and soon, a face as delicate as a carefully carved work of art appeared in the mirror. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, and her eyes were bright and deep, as if they contained endless stories and wisdom, and also revealed a hint of coldness. Under the high nose bridge, the bright red lips were slightly raised, with a confident and mysterious smile.

At this time, the bodyguards downstairs had already prepared the shiny black Bentley sedan. Next to the car stood several bodyguards in uniform and stern expressions. They stood straight and looked around vigilantly, as if they were guarding some extremely important treasure. Sang Shuwan walked towards the elevator with an elegant and calm pace. The elevator door slowly opened and she walked in, followed closely by the bodyguards behind her. After arriving on the first floor, the bodyguards immediately stepped forward and respectfully opened the door for her. She nodded slightly and sat in the car, her movements light and elegant, showing the style of a superstar. The interior of the car was luxurious and exquisitely decorated, and the leather seats exuded a faint fragrance, comfortable and soft. Sang Shuwan leaned back in the chair, gently closed her eyes, and slightly adjusted her sitting posture, ready to face the busyness and challenges of a new day.

The black Bentley started slowly and drove smoothly on the street. Outside the car window, the city scenery flashed by like a slide show, while Sang Shuwan in the car was immersed in her own thoughts. She knew that as a high-profile celebrity, every step she took was watched, and every move she made could become a hot topic among the media and fans. But she had long been accustomed to this kind of life and enjoyed this life of glory and pressure.

Soon, Bentley arrived at her workplace, a modern office building. In front of the building, some media reporters and enthusiastic fans had already gathered. When they saw Sang Shuwan's car coming, they immediately surrounded it excitedly. The bodyguards quickly got out of the car and formed a human wall to separate the crowd and the vehicles.

Sang Shuwan walked calmly towards the office building under the escort of her bodyguards. She smiled and waved to the fans. Her smile was like the warm spring sun, instantly igniting the atmosphere at the scene. Fans screamed her name and raised their cameras to take pictures. The media reporters were not to be outdone. They stretched out their microphones and cameras to her and asked her questions one after another: "Sang Shuwan, do you have any new works recently?" "What are your expectations for this cooperation with Alice Studio?"

Sang Shuwan kept her elegant smile and did not answer any questions. She walked steadily into the office building surrounded by bodyguards. She walked straight to the elevator and pressed the button for the floor where Alice's studio was located.

As the elevator goes up and reaches the floor, as soon as you step out of the elevator, you can see the uniquely designed glass door of Alice Studio. There are several pots of vibrant green plants placed next to the door, and the green leaves sparkle with the luster of life under the sunlight, adding a bit of agility and warmth to this office area.

Sang Shuwan pushed open the door, and the spacious and bright space came into view. In the open office area, employees sat neatly at their respective workstations, concentrating on the work at hand. The sound of keyboard tapping came one after another, like a symphony without a conductor, occasionally interspersed with low voices of communication, and the entire office area was filled with a tense and orderly working atmosphere. Sang Shuwan took a deep breath, feeling this vibrant atmosphere, and walked straight to Alice's office. The colleagues passing by raised their heads, their eyes full of awe and envy, and greeted her with a smile. Some whispered, "Sister Sang, good morning!" Others nodded, with friendliness and respect in their eyes. Sang Shuwan also responded with warm smiles and friendly responses one by one. Her eyes were kind and kind, making people feel like spring breeze.

Arriving at the door of Alice's office, Sang Shuwan gently raised her hand and knocked on the door. Alice's crisp and pleasant voice came from inside: "Come in!" She pushed the door open and saw Alice standing up from behind the desk piled with documents and coming to greet her.

Alice wore a simple white shirt with a slightly open collar, revealing her delicate collarbone. Paired with a pair of dark blue straight pants, she looked capable and elegant. Her shoulder-length hair was casually scattered on her shoulders, and a few strands of hair fell on her cheeks, adding a bit of softness. Her face was filled with a friendly smile, and her eyes were bright and energetic, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"My dear, you are finally here!" Alice opened her arms warmly and gave Sang Shuwan a big hug. Her hug was warm and powerful, as if it could dispel all the fatigue. Then she took Sang Shuwan's hand, walked to the sofa, sat down, picked up the tablet on the coffee table, and said, "Nancy introduced us to a good job. Let's take a look at this work log and study how to carry it out. This is really a rare opportunity. Nancy has helped a lot this time."

Sang Shuwan took the tablet and looked at it carefully. Her eyes were focused and sharp. Her fingers slid lightly across the screen. She frowned slightly from time to time, as if she was thinking about the key issues. Alice leaned closer to Sang Shuwan, pointed at some data and project points on the screen, and said softly, "Look here, I think we can optimize this link like this, which may improve efficiency."

Sang Shuwan nodded slightly, her eyes still on the screen, and replied: "Well, I also think this place needs to be adjusted, but we still have to consider the cost issue. It's not easy for Nancy to help us get this project, we must do it well."

The two of them put their heads together, exchanging ideas from time to time, one word after another, and the sparks of thought collided in the air. Alice leaned forward slightly, folded her hands on the table, her eyes full of gratitude, and said to Sang Shuwan: "You know what? This time, because Nancy is the CEO, she has given us great help in unblocking the work process, allocating resources, and connecting with some key contacts. Take the last project for example. If it weren't for Nancy's help in coordinating all parties, we would definitely not be able to move forward so smoothly. At that time, we encountered the problem of suppliers changing their minds at the last minute, and the materials could not be supplied. The project progress was about to be delayed. After Nancy knew about it, she personally came forward to communicate with the supplier. With her prestige and connections in the industry, she not only made the supplier deliver on time, but also got us a more favorable price. Her influence and connections in the industry really helped a lot. Without her, we might have suffered a lot."

Sang Shuwan gently lifted the hair beside her ear, and the strand of hair playfully fell on her cheek, making her face even more beautiful. She looked at Alice sincerely, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude, and replied with a smile: "Oh, Nancy is really our benefactor! She always helps us at the critical moment. I have been so busy these days that I haven't had time to thank her properly. Alice, if you contact her later, please thank her for me. I will remember this favor. If we have the chance in the future, we must repay her well."

Alice smiled and nodded, her eyes firm, and said, "Of course, Nancy has been so good to us, we can't be ungrateful. By the way, Nancy also sent us a message, take a look." As she spoke, she picked up the tablet on the table, swiped the screen, and her expression became a little solemn.

Sang Shuwan came closer curiously, with a puzzled look in her eyes. There were a few photos on the screen. The people in the photos looked familiar, but also a little strange. Alice continued, "This is Sang Jiyue. She found a colleague at the beauty salon where Nancy worked and had plastic surgery. If you compare the photos, it's obvious that she did have plastic surgery in this short period of time. The change is too big."

Sang Shuwan carefully examined the photo and could not help but frown slightly, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes. She tapped the screen lightly and said, "Is this really Sang Jiuyue? I didn't expect her to have plastic surgery, and she chose Nancy's resources. Is there any hidden story behind this? She has always paid attention to natural beauty, why would she suddenly have plastic surgery?"

Alice folded her arms and leaned back in her chair, her eyes full of contemplation. She was silent for a moment, as if she was organizing her thoughts, and then she said, "I also find it strange. Sang Jiuyue's move is indeed a bit unexpected. But since Nancy sent us this message, maybe she thinks that this matter may have some impact on us, or it has some other meaning. We have to think about it carefully. Could it be that she has some new moves in the business world and wants to change her image through plastic surgery to get more opportunities? Or did something happen in her personal life that led her to make such a decision?"

Sang Shuwan sat up straight, her eyes became more focused, and said, "No matter what the reason is, we can't take it lightly. Sang Jiuyue has always been our competitor in the industry, and any changes in her may have an impact on us. We must first understand the details of her plastic surgery, as well as her recent whereabouts and business dynamics. Alice, do you have any ideas?"

Alice nodded slightly, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and said, "I think we can start with Nancy and see if she can provide more information about Sang Jiuyue's plastic surgery. After all, they are in the same industry and may know some inside information. Then we will send some people to investigate the people Sang Jiuyue has contacted recently and the projects she has participated in to see if we can find some clues. I have a few friends who have extensive connections in the industry, and perhaps I can ask them about it. Moreover, I also know a senior business reporter who is well-informed and may be able to dig up something useful."

Sang Shuwan clapped her hands and agreed, "That's a good idea. Alice, you're really thoughtful. Let's do this. You're responsible for contacting Nancy and your friends, and I'll arrange for someone to investigate Sang Jiuyue. We must find out the whole story as soon as possible and not let Sang Jiuyue take the lead when we are off guard."

Alice stood up, her eyes revealing determination and confidence. She clenched her fists and waved them lightly in the air. She said, "Okay, that's settled. We can't be distracted by this matter. We still have to focus our main energy on the project introduced by Nancy. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to cope with any challenges and make our studio develop better and better. I'll call Nancy now to feel her out."

Alice walked to her desk, picked up her phone, quickly found Nancy's contact information, and pressed the call button. While waiting for the call to be connected, she tapped the table with her fingers, her face slightly nervous, but with a hint of anticipation.

"Hello, Nancy? This is Alice!... Well, we received the message you sent. We also find it very strange about Sang Jiuyue's plastic surgery. Do you have any new information or clues?... Oh, I see. Can you help us find out more about the details?... Okay, thank you so much, Nancy. After we are done with this, we must have a meal together and have a good reunion. ... Okay, that's it for now. Feel free to contact me if you have any news."

After Alice hung up the phone, she turned around and said to Sang Shuwan, "Nancy said she didn't know the details, but she would go and find out. She also reminded us to be careful of Sang Jiuyue, who might do something."

Sang Shuwan nodded slightly and said, "Well, we will pay attention. Then let's get to work first. We can't delay the important things."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations and confidence for the future. In this sunny office, they are about to meet new challenges and opportunities and work hard for their careers and dreams.

The dark clouds in the sky rolled and gathered like ink, and the strong wind raged on the city streets like an angry beast roaring. The trees on the street were blown to the ground, and the branches danced wildly, making a "humming" sound, as if groaning in pain. The pedestrians on the road wrapped their clothes tightly, hurriedly walked home with panicked looks, to avoid the sudden storm.

Under the cover of this bad weather, a black car was driving hard on the street. The scene outside the car window was blurred. The wipers were swinging wildly on the windshield, but it was still difficult to resist the pouring rain. Inside the car, Sang Jiuyue's face was solemn, and her eyes revealed a hint of tension and determination. She tightly grasped the bag in her hand, her fingers turned white because of the force, which contained what she regarded as a "life-saving straw".

The car slowly stopped at the door of a high-end club. The security guard at the door was wearing a black raincoat and trying to stand firm in the strong wind. Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath, put on a wide-brimmed hat, carefully put on a large pair of sunglasses on her nose, and finally wrapped her face tightly with a silk scarf, leaving only her small chin exposed. She pushed open the car door, and the strong wind rushed in instantly, almost blowing her down. She staggered, hurriedly held the car door, stood firm, and hurriedly walked towards the club.

The door of the club was closed, Sang Jiuyue walked up quickly and knocked on the door. The door was soon opened, and a waiter in uniform stood inside. Seeing Sang Jiuyue dressed so tightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but his good professionalism made him quickly restore his polite smile and welcomed her in.

Inside the club, the lights were dim and ambiguous, and the music seemed a little weak against the backdrop of the howling wind. The leather sofas and crystal chandeliers still exuded a luxurious atmosphere under the dim light, but also revealed a hint of depression. Sang Jiuyue looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, she walked straight to a private room.

She stood at the door of the private room, paused, as if to cheer herself up, then raised her hand and gently pushed the door open. In the private room, Lily was sitting on the sofa, crossing her legs, holding her phone in one hand and flipping through it casually, and gently shaking the red wine glass in her other hand. The deep red liquid in the glass rippled slightly with her movements. She heard the door open, raised her head, and looked at the door through her thick eyelashes.

Sang Jiuyue slowly took off her hat, sunglasses and scarf, revealing a brand new face. Her originally slightly round cheeks now had clear lines, a pointed chin, and eyes that were bigger and brighter than before, but with a hint of insecurity and determination that was barely noticeable in her eyes. Her nose was also tall and straight, and her lips were plump and sexy, completely different from her past. She was indeed more gorgeous than before.

"Lily, this horrible weather has me so nervous the whole way." Sang Jiuyue said with a slight trembling voice, with a hint of fatigue and anxiety in her voice. As she spoke, she quickly walked to the sofa and sat down, clasping her hands together and rubbing her fingers constantly, as if this could relieve her inner tension.

Lily put down her phone, placed the red wine glass on the coffee table, sat up straight, looked at Sang Jiuyue sharply, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of mockery: "Wow, you've changed a lot. How determined are you to make yourself like this?"

Sang Jiuyue bit her lip lightly, avoided Lily's gaze, looked at the red wine glass on the coffee table, and whispered: "Lily, you also know my situation in the entertainment industry. My previous image has been stereotyped and there is no chance of turning around. I want to start over, and this is the only step I can take." As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, as if she felt wronged and helpless for her past experiences.

Lily leaned back on the sofa, crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows, and said disdainfully: "Huh, do you think plastic surgery can solve all problems? It's not that easy to get into this circle."

Sang Jiuyue's eyes flashed with stubbornness. She raised her head, looked directly into Lily's eyes, and said, "I know it's difficult, but I don't want to give up just like that. Lily, I came to you today because I know you have a wide network of contacts. As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely be able to stand up again."

Lily sneered, reached out to pick up the red wine glass, took a sip, looked at Sang Jiuyue, and said slowly: "Help you? Why should I help you? What benefits can you give me?"

Sang Jiuyue hurriedly took out a file bag from her bag, handed it to Lily with both hands, and said anxiously: "Lily, here are some gossips about some celebrities that I collected, maybe it will be useful to you. Besides, if I become rich in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness today. I swear, as long as you help me this time, I will follow your lead in the future."

Lily took the file bag and flipped through a few pages at random. Her expression gradually became interested. She raised her head and looked at Sang Jiuyue, with a calculating light in her eyes: "You are kind of sincere. However, this matter is not that simple. I have to see how valuable these materials are."

Sang Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief, with a flattering smile on her face: "Lily, don't worry, I spent a lot of effort to collect this information, and I will definitely not let you down."

Lily put the file bag aside, leaned back on the sofa, looked at Sang Jiuyue with cold eyes, and said, "Okay, since you are so determined, I will ask for you. Nancy and I have some friendship, I will tell her about your situation and see if I can introduce you to some resources. However, you have to know that the competition in this circle is fierce. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your own ability."

Sang Jiuyue nodded quickly, with hope in her eyes: "Thank you so much, Lily. I will definitely work hard, no matter how difficult it is, I will regain my foothold in this circle."

At this time, the wind outside the window was still howling, and the rain showed no sign of abating. In this seemingly peaceful club room, a deal of fate was quietly going on, and Sang Jiuyue and Lili didn't know that their every move was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, about to set off waves, and an invisible contest was slowly opening in this storm.
