Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

When Liu Shishi entered the Sugar Man Company, she clearly sensed that something was wrong.

In the past, those young artists and up-and-coming agents who always liked to come over and greet her, trying to make their presence known, were gone.

Today, everyone is silent and working cautiously with their heads down.

Only after she successfully met with her assistant, Peach, did she understand the reason.

"K-sister is smashing things in the office..."

Why are you speaking so softly?

Liu Shishi glanced at her, just about to ask if Wang Weili was still at the company.

The assistant, Peach, who was huddled up in a ball, recounted everything that had happened before, like spilling beans in a gossip column.

"Sister Shi, you've been staying outside these past few days and don't know what's going on at the company. Just now, Wang Weili brought a lawyer over to talk to Sister K about terminating her contract. I don't know what they talked about, but Sister K actually agreed and even held a press conference."

"and then?"

"Then the contract was terminated! Not long after Wang Weili left with his lawyer, Sister K locked herself in her office and started smashing things up. Everyone who passed by was terrified..."

"Has no one gone in?"

Liu Shishi looked towards Cai Yinong's office with some apprehension.

Peach's eyes lit up: "Someone actually went in."

Who is it?

"Jiang Jinfu!"

"Hehe, you're really in a hurry."

Liu Shishi chuckled twice, secretly disapproving of Jiang Jinfu's actions.

Wang Weili had barely left when he was already eager to climb the ladder of fame, which seemed far too impatient, even in the fame-driven entertainment industry.

"I'm going to talk to Sister K."

"Sister Shi, wait a minute..."

Liu Shishi stopped and looked at Taozi.

Taozi said, "While you were gone, work piled up like a mountain. Guangxian has called several times, urging you to get back to the set as soon as possible..."

"Oh, I understand."

Liu Shishi nodded and continued toward Cai Yinong's office.

Last year, she rose to stardom with "Scarlet Heart," which brought with it a host of work opportunities.

Just then, Enlight Media was looking to boost its film business, but the company lacked outstanding artists. So they turned to Liu Shishi and signed her as the lead actress for two films.

The first low-budget film, "Sad Fairy Tale," has finished filming and will be released next month. The promotional campaign will begin soon.

Another comedy-mystery film, "Badges of Fury," co-starring international superstar Li Lianjie, is currently in production. Liu Shishi, as the female lead, has signed a 25-day contract and should be joining the crew soon.

"Knock knock!"

After knocking twice, Liu Shishi called out, "Sister K, it's me."

Two seconds later, the door opened inward, and standing behind it was not Cai Yinong, but Jiang Jinfu, whose hair was slicked back with hair oil and whose muscles bulged under his T-shirt.

"Good morning, Sister Shi."

"Hello there."

Liu Shishi twitched the corner of her mouth, then quickly smoothed it out.

Although Wang Weili terminated his contract with the company and gave up the resources that Sugar Man had left for the future top star, there's nothing wrong with Jiang Jinfu taking the initiative to fight for this.

But the little bit of emotion in her heart still made her unable to help but show it on her face.

His enthusiasm was met with a cold reception, and Jiang Jinfu could only close the door in frustration.

Inside the office, documents were scattered all over the floor, a broken mug was in the middle, the keyboard was torn off and thrown on the ground, most of the keycaps were off... Cai Yinong stood in front of the window with a deep look on her face, gazing at the gradually calming storm.

"Where have you been these past few days?"

"hotel."

Which hotel?

Cai Yinong turned around and stared straight at Liu Shishi: "I asked you, but you wouldn't say anything. I asked you to come back the day before yesterday, but you said you had something to do and couldn't get away. Guangming even called me..."

"Sister K, didn't you tell me to find a hotel to stay in and come back after the scandal died down?"

Liu Shishi retorted without hesitation.

Then, she deliberately tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked in confusion, "I was wondering why the first scandal hasn't even died down before the second one comes along? Sister K, when did I have an ambiguous relationship with Wang Weili on the set of 'Xuan-Yuan Sword' last year?"

Not last year, but this year...

Liu Shishi silently added in her mind, but on the surface, she stared intently at Cai Yinong.

The company's top female employee questioning the boss—Jiang Jinfu didn't see anything wrong with this scene.

That's just how it is with celebrities. When you're low-profile, nobody looks down on you; when you're high-profile, even your boss has to coax you to do things.

Liu Shishi's actions only confirmed this consensus within the industry once again, and Jiang Jinfu felt that although he could not physically go there, he longed for it.

Knowing she was in the wrong regarding the scandal, Cai Yinong's confidence waned.

"Shishi, this isn't my fault. It's just that Wang Weili, that little bastard, is too infuriating."

"What did he do to make you angry?"

Liu Shishi pretended to be confused, her raised eyebrows revealing a hint of mockery.

Cai Yinong was already angry, and now that Liu Shishi had asked her this, she naturally channeled Xianglin's wife, making herself sound as wronged as possible and Wang Weili as a complete scoundrel as possible.

Liu Shishi, in a dramatic moment, exclaimed, "How could he do this?!"

"In other words, I have a very clear conscience towards Wang Weili; the company's best resources have all been invested in him..."

"That's outrageous! How can anyone bully people like this?"

"Sigh... don't even mention it, I gave it my all and it was all for nothing!"

Cai Yinong was indignant, but venting her grievances made her feel much better.

Liu Shishi watched Wang Weili's performance with amusement and felt pleased.

Only Jiang Jinfu, who was watching from the sidelines, felt that his chance had come!

"Sister K, I promise I won't be as ungrateful as Wang Weili! I'll definitely do my best in the company's next film."

"..." *2

When two people reach a point of emotional resonance, regardless of how they achieved that resonance, simply being quiet is the best gift.

If a third person suddenly rushes out and shouts like that, everyone will feel very awkward.

Liu Shishi squinted at Cai Yinong, indicating that she was not very satisfied with this newcomer.

Cai Yinong coughed twice, also feeling that Jiang Jinfu was too impetuous, lacked patience in the face of problems, and was eager to show off.

This personality trait isn't necessarily a flaw for newcomers in the entertainment industry who have to compete for a living, but they can't be so rough in their speech and actions.

Before Liu Shishi came in, Jiang Jinfu came over and acted excitedly and impatiently. He kept saying that Wang Weili was gone, the company needed to train other new people, and that he was choosing himself... His behavior was too ugly.

"Fu-zai..."

Seeing Jiang Jinfu's beaming face, Cai Yinong thought to herself that Wang Weili may be a scoundrel, but his overall qualities were indeed high.

"...You'll be working with Shi Shi in your next project, so you definitely need to give it your best performance."

"Sister K, what's his partnership with me?"

Liu Shishi asked the question with some dissatisfaction.

Cai Yinong explained, "Isn't a sequel to 'Scarlet Heart' going to be filmed? The third male lead is quite suitable for Fu Zai..."

"Can I use a stunt double for this film?"

"The sequel is a modern drama, so why use body doubles?"

"There are some intimate scenes, and I want to use a body double," Liu Shishi said firmly.

Although the topic had not been discussed, she chose to avoid it to prevent future conflicts.

However, after she made her statement, Cai Yinong and Jiang Jinfu's eyes both turned strange.
