Run, Best Actor!

Liu Shishi wasn't stupid; she had realized that Cai Yinong had deliberately provoked her before.

Especially considering the fates of previous "Tangren No. 1 Sisters": Guan Yonghe and Sun Li, after becoming famous, both quickly got married, retired from the entertainment industry, and returned to their families...

Some people joked that this was Tang Ren's tradition, but only those involved knew the intricacies involved—Cai Yinong, known in the entertainment industry as Sister K, was not as caring towards her artists as she appeared.

Or rather, over the years, apart from Hu Ge, the treatment of everyone else in Tang Ren can only be described as average.

Before Liu Shih-shih, Tsai Yi-nong had invited Lin Chia-yu to the position of "Number One Sister," but Lin Chia-yu flatly refused and returned to Taiwan.

Yuan Hong, one of the characters in "Tang Ren San Bao", left immediately after his contract expired.

Lin Gengxin, who became a sensation across the internet for his role as the Fourteenth Prince in "Scarlet Heart" and was practically the "newcomer king" of that year, couldn't even wait for his contract to expire and was willing to take his former employer to court to leave...

Apart from Hu Ge, who received the best treatment, everyone else wanted to "escape" Tangren. Doesn't that say something?

Especially after Liu Shishi learned that Cai Yinong had a group of online trolls who were responsible for spreading negative rumors and slander against other artists online, her feelings became increasingly complicated.

Think back to when Liu Yifei and Yang Mi both faced massive cyberbullying after refusing to sign with Tang Ren.

Liu Yifei was falsely accused of being transgender, and the incident even escalated to the point where she appeared on the talk show "Today's Law" to prove her innocence.

Yang Mi, on the other hand, was the target of numerous sexual rumors, which were almost proven true, claiming that she had slept her way up to the top...

Originally, these things were done very discreetly.

However, in mid-2011, just as Yang Mi's "dirt" was spreading more and more widely online, a group of online trolls suddenly emerged and began to retaliate in kind, exposing Tang Ren's dirty secrets.

Or rather, it's about exposing some of the dirty things Cai Yinong has done over the years.

For example, she used underhanded tactics to harm several people back then, such as how she harmed Liu Yifei, and even before that, how she splashed dirty water on Li Yapeng after he left Tang Ren, making his portrayal of Guo Jing seem like a fool.

There's also the question of why Tang Ren's previous "number one sister" suddenly retired from the entertainment industry. It seems that she was dragged by Cai Yinong to attend some special banquets.

And Hu Ge, currently known as "Tangren's Number One," has a surprisingly rich romantic history that few people know about...

Then Cai Yinong broke down.

That day, she threw a huge tantrum in the company office, even smashing several of her favorite porcelain items.

But afterwards, she had no choice but to back down and stop her online trolls from attacking Yang Mi, and even posted many positive messages for her.

That was also the time when the whole world basically knew that a famous athlete was pursuing Yang Mi, to the point that he did something out of a fit of rage for his lover.

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious why you rejected Liu Taile and chose Liu Kaiwei instead."

Now that things were out in the open, Liu Shishi resumed her previous familiarity with Yang Mi and started gossiping, saying, "Can you satisfy my curiosity? I promise I won't tell anyone."

As far as Yang Mi knew, Liu Shishi was quite tight-lipped, so she just said it directly: "There's nothing wrong with saying it. I was stupid back then. I was fooled by that Liu guy from Hong Kong. I didn't think straight for a moment and chose someone who was so much older than me."

"Um?!!"

This doesn't sound like something a woman in the throes of new love would say!

"No, Mimi, what you're doing..."

Liu Shishi sensed something and asked anxiously, "Did you have a fight with that Liu Kaiwei?"

"I went a step further and broke up with him directly."

Yang Mi said calmly, "I've had this on my mind for over a month, and it feels much better to say it to you."

"..."

She was in a much better mood, but Liu Shishi was quite shocked.

"Why did you suddenly break up?"

Liu Shishi pressed on, "When you announced your relationship on Weibo, it caused quite a stir both inside and outside the entertainment industry."

"That's why I wasn't thinking clearly at the time."

Yang Mi said helplessly, "We were too high-profile in announcing our relationship before, which has made us lose face. But losing face is better than ruining our happiness for the rest of our lives."

"What exactly is the reason?"

Liu Shishi asked curiously.

"He was a scumbag. While I was away on set, he took advantage of his position as producer to flirt with other people and even added his own passionate scenes."

Yang Mi pouted and said, "That must have been a lot of fun, especially playing with two girls at the same time."

"Well……"

Liu Shishi said she was deeply shocked.

"So I decided not to hold him back anymore. I don't want him to give up the whole forest because of me."

Yang Mi said sarcastically, "I broke up with him last month."

"last month!?"

Liu Shishi, like Sherlock Holmes, discovered the key point.

Then she asked sarcastically, "Honey, how come I remember that you suddenly left the 'Tiny Times' film crew last month and flew to London to visit that Liu Tai Le?"

He even held a press conference to clarify things for you.

But I have a feeling that your breakup isn't as simple as you make it out to be!

"Ouch~~"

Yang Mi exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent, "Haven't seen you for a while, and your intuition is amazing now, incredibly sharp!"

"Don't change the subject!"

Liu Shishi let out a strange cry, her tone urgent, "You wouldn't happen to be... because you saw Liu Taile, who used to chase after you like crazy, so... that..."

Are you implying that I've fallen for someone else?

Yang Mi directly said the rest of the sentence for her.

"Uh...hehe~~"

Liu Shishi gave an awkward smile.

"If you think so, then so be it, the result won't make a difference anyway."

Yang Mi seemed to have a sudden urge to confide in the other person and told them the truth directly, "After I broke up with that guy surnamed Liu from Hong Kong, I accepted Xiao Le's advances."

"Oh~~~"

Liu Shishi called out meaningfully.

"Hey, you said you were tight-lipped, don't let it slip to anyone now!"

Yang Mi said, "patching up her words."

"No, I really don't understand you. Why didn't you just choose Liu Taile before?"

After finishing her gossip, Liu Shishi still had questions: "They went through such a long and complicated process, especially since they were with other people before."

"I did date Hawick Lau before, but I wasn't unreserved at all."

Yang Mi emphasized, "We've been dating for over half a year, and I haven't let him get his way yet! That's probably why he's cheating on me."

"ah?!!"

Liu Shishi was taken aback. "No way, Mimi, what you're doing..."

"Huh? What?"

Yang Mi frowned and retorted, "Do you think I'm that kind of promiscuous woman?"

"Of course not."

Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment, "I just didn't expect that, because that kind of thing is so common nowadays."

We're all in the same industry; everyone knows how fancy our games are through exposure.

Even outside of the entertainment industry, societal attitudes are becoming more open, and premarital sex, which used to be avoided at all costs, is now quite common.

Most people don't even wait until adulthood; they experience it during junior or senior high school.

There are increasingly more cases of people getting married because they are pregnant.

So Liu Shishi really didn't expect Yang Mi to be so conservative.

"I've been busy these past two years, so I have an excuse not to give them one."

Yang Mi explained, "I also want to find the right person to spend my life with, so I'm testing him first."

The result was obvious: he failed.

Upon hearing Yang Mi's explanation, Liu Shishi felt a mix of emotions.

"Uh, Shishi, don't you think that way?"

Yang Mi noticed the change in Liu Shishi's emotions and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I have some other things to do, so I'll talk to you later. Let's keep in touch when we have time."

Liu Shishi left those words and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on her phone, Yang Mi twitched her lips, "This has gotten a bit out of hand."

Who would have thought? Liu Shishi, who usually seems so aloof, is actually quite warm-hearted!

Yang Mi spent the whole way lost in thought.

However, she was in a pretty good mood.

Although Liu Shishi hung up the phone in a hurry, the fact that she was able to talk to him for so long meant that the two of them had actually made up in private.

Besides Zhou Bichang, Liu Shishi is Yang Mi's most valued friend in recent years.

Being able to reconcile with her was the best birthday gift Yang Mi received, aside from the Golden Eagle Award.

However, this good mood vanished the moment I returned to the "Tiny Times" set and saw a certain person.
