Chapter 1336 - Walking In The Backlight (12)

The pictures the official account posted were the crew having their return banquet.

Ming Shu was still at the banquet. After all, there were so many delicious foods and she couldn’t miss them.

As the female protagonist, Ming Shu sat next to Director He.

Director He had too much wine and was a little drunk.

“Little Dizi, you’re really good at what you’re doing. There aren’t many people in the circle as talented as you.”

Director He spoke very slowly.

His voice was indistinct between the toasts.

“You must not go astray. Once you go wrong in this life, it’s hard to turn back.”

“Director He, someone is forcing me out.”

Director He sighed. “Do you know who you’ve offended?”

“I think there are many of them…”

Director He glared at her.

Ming Shu smiled. “I know, that someone from Hengfeng.” The boss who got an X on his face.

Director He was a little pissed off. “You know who you’ve offended, and you don’t care?”

Ming Shu answered, “Hengfeng can’t cover the sky with its one hand. He said he’d force me out, so he thinks he can do that? Am I that easy to bully?”

Hengfeng was powerful; however, in the entertainment industry, there was not only one big wig like Hengfeng.

If it doesn’t work anyway, I’d like to make the Harmony System earn my money. I’ll invest to buy sna… to film myself.

[…] Guest, you can’t do that.

Why not? I helped you commit crimes before! Now you won’t help me? With your skill, isn’t it so easy to make money?

[…] What crimes, when did I have you do that?

The Harmony System struggled and played a routine video for Ming Shu, trying to get her to calm down.

Ming Shu blocked it with a darkened face.

How dare you play the mosaic video for me again!

“You’re right. But if you’re suppressed everywhere, it’s difficult to go far.”

Those stars, many were just a flash in the pan, weren’t they?

As soon as they began to shine, they disappeared.

He didn’t want to see this girl stop here.

She should walk farther and stand taller.

“But I see you have a good mindset.” He was right about her long ago. Director He patted her shoulder. “That’s right. Most people are mentally unbalanced so they fail. As long as you stay cool, everything will be fine.”

“As long as I can eat my drumsticks.” I’m not picky.

Director He choked.

“How exactly… do you stay fit?”

Of all the female celebrities he met, which one didn’t just eat a little and then stop?

They would indulge themselves once in a while and then try to lose weight crazily.

“…I was born like this, you can just envy me.”

Director He choked again.

This wicked girl!

He handed Ming Shu a business card. “You go to this guy. He has a drama to film, I’ve recommended you, so you just go take the audition.”

Ming Shu was a little stunned.

She wiped her hands and took the card.

Director He added then, “But if you can get the role, you need to rely on yourself.”

“…”

She thought that Lady Luck had suddenly descended and there was a back door for her.

“Thank you, Director He.”

Ming Shu toasted to Director He and the latter pretended to curse her in laughter. The scene was very harmonious.

Hu Xin sat on the other side, and seeing Ming Shu and Director He talking and laughing, her nails pinched into flesh, yet she didn’t even notice.

When the banquet was over, Hu Xin stopped Ming Shu. “Wen Di, just wait and see!”

She dropped the remark and stormed off.

Ming Shu: “???”

You don’t even listen to me?

Who wants to wait and see what!

Even so, you can’t do anything to me!

Other artists had assistants to pick them up, while Ming Shu walked out alone.

“Sister.”

Gu Xi came over from the other side. Seeing her, she immediately called her.

Gu Xi wore a fresh skirt, hair slightly curly, and she looked the kind of petite and delicious… no, petite and cute little cutie at a glance.

Gu Xi walked to Ming Shu and said in a gentle way, “Elder sister, I see your shooting has finished, congratulations.”

“Are you gonna give me a red envelope?”

Gu Xi: “…”

Gu Xi didn’t know what expression she should put on her face.

How could she continue this conversation?

“Xixi, what took you so long?”

Cui Jingyang stood not far away, several bodyguards standing behind him. He looked like a real big brother.

Yet Ming Shu only saw the X on his face in her eyes.

That scene was just too distracting.

Gu Xi looked back and softly explained, “Mr. Cui, I encountered my sister and we had a small talk.”

Cui Jingyang knew that Gu Xi hated her sister, and what’s more, he also did not like her… Although she was even more beautiful than Gu Xi.

He just couldn’t take a fancy on such a face.

As for Gu Xi, he didn’t care what kind of person she was. What he liked was just her face.

Cui Jingyang’s eyes dimmed. “Miss Wen is your sister. Do you want to come together?”

“Sister, do you?” Gu Xi immediately asked Ming Shu. “There will be many people from the circle. I can introduce you to some of them, Sister.”

Gu Xi believed she would definitely say yes.

After all, she had no other roles to play now.

“No.”

Yet Ming Shu refused very squarely, which surprised Gu Xi a lot.

She pretended to be worried and tried to persuade her. “Come on, Sister, such opportunities are rare.”

Ming Shu said generously, “Oh, you shall take them then.”

Gu Xi: “…”

What?

She was offering her a hand.

But Ming Shu only gave Cui Jingyang a look, then left in the opposite direction.

Just wait for her to follow Cui Jingyang and see if she could get rid of him.

Cui Jingyang had no idea that he had been put on the hit list.

Cui Jingyang and Gu Xi stayed until the early morning.

Gu Xi left with her assistant, while Cui Jingyang went back to his own villa with his bodyguards.

He’d held back his anger the whole night. Now that it was at his own turf, there was nothing to worry about. He asked the secretary directly, “Have you not settled the matter about Wen Di yet?”

“Boss, Wen Di was on set and just came back.”

“Wasn’t that the best time to get rid of her? Do you have your brain with you or not?” Cui Jingyang scolded angrily. “Enough, go do it right away.”

The secretary nodded repeatedly.

Cui Jingyang went upstairs and pushed the study’s door open.

It was dark in the study, which made Cui Jingyang frown slightly.

He reached for the switch beside him.

Cui Jingyang was surprised by the cold, sticky touch. Before he could retract his hand, he was bitten by something on the back of his hand.

Pada—

The switch was flipped.

The light in the study came on.

Cui Jingyang saw clearly that what had bitten him was actually a snake. It wrapped its body around the switch, sticking out its tongue, and it looked so fancy that he couldn’t tell what species it was.

He had two bleeding spots on the back of his hand, which were oozing blood continuously.

The blood was bright red, so it shouldn’t be poisonous…

Cui Jingyang seemed to sense something and looked into the room in a rush.

The girl sat in his boss chair and was smiling at him.

“Good evening, Mr. Cui.”

“Wen Di!”

Cui Jingyang’s surprise directly showed on his face.

How did she get in?

“Mr. Cui, don’t move.” Ming Shu raised her hand to stop him. “The snake that bit you just now is called Seven Steps Falling. You’ll die if you walk more than seven steps.”
