"Who is foolish enough to mess with my little fairy again?" the sugar daddy on the other end of the phone sounded to be in his early forties, his tone rather amiable.
The drama starring Yu Xianxian was currently airing, receiving excellent reviews and ratings. He had seen Yu Xianxian's potential in it, and his tone towards her had become more doting.
"It's someone from Gu's Entertainment on this reality show. Just a newcomer, without any works, who's being unreasonable, arrogant, and annoying. She also..." Yu Xianxian almost blurted out that Xia Qingtian knew her background.
But she suddenly remembered that her current sugar daddy didn't know about her past foolishness. She swallowed the rest of her words, pouted, and said, "She also looks down on our Tongmeng Entertainment."
"Gu's Entertainment..." The person on the other end of the phone hesitated, "If it's someone from Gu's Entertainment, it's indeed difficult to handle..."
He recalled that Gu's Entertainment's newcomer this time was brought by Wen Ning. Thinking of Wen Ning's decisive methods and the rumors in the industry, he might even have to show her some respect.
He dared not confront Wen Ning directly, but it wouldn't be difficult to casually mess with this newcomer Wen Ning brought, using some small tricks to make her completely fall from grace.
After all, she was just an unknown newcomer.
Thinking of this, the sugar daddy chuckled and said, "But since she dared to make my little fairy angry, I will definitely teach her a lesson."
Hearing the sugar daddy say this, Yu Xianxian's eyes lit up. Then she hesitantly asked, "Can't you make her disappear from this world directly?"
After all, only the dead wouldn't talk nonsense.
"Oh my, such a strong killing intent. My little fairy has turned into a little devil." The sugar daddy spoke euphemistically, but his tone became a bit more serious. "Xianxian, I prefer your pure appearance."
Hearing the sugar daddy say this, Yu Xianxian's heart skipped a beat. She immediately knew that if she persisted with that request, she would soon be abandoned by this sugar daddy.
She had gone to great lengths to curry favor with this influential figure.
Thinking of this, Yu Xianxian dared not speak any more foolish words about making Xia Qingtian disappear. She just started acting cute and sweet again, giggling a few times before hanging up the phone.
Gritting her teeth, Yu Xianxian spat, "Bitch, you're lucky!"
She would definitely trip up that Xia Qingtian during the subsequent filming. She would let this bitch know that she was someone she couldn't afford to offend!
Once Xia Qingtian completely fell from grace and was blacklisted and abandoned by Gu's Entertainment, it would be much easier for her to silence that bitch.
Thinking of this, Yu Xianxian felt much better. She tidied her long hair and clothes in front of the mirror before leaving the bathroom. She surveyed the room, roughly locating the cameras, and officially began her performance.
Yu Xianxian's persona was that of an ethereal little fairy who lived in seclusion in the mountains with her grandmother until she was discovered by a scout. Naturally, she had to display curiosity about the entire room, a hint of fear and unease towards so many cameras, and most importantly, she had to tidy her room methodically to showcase her practical skills.
After all, this program not only had edited recordings but also live broadcasts. Every move she made was within the camera's view, so she couldn't be careless.
After tidying everything up, Yu Xianxian left the room. She then noticed that the lunch was just boxed meals prepared by the director's team, with dishes that looked like they cost around thirty to forty yuan each.
Not only was the nutritional balance disregarded, but they also looked very greasy. What if she gained weight?
Yu Xianxian felt nauseated just looking at them, but for the sake of the cameras, she maintained a grateful expression, finishing the boxed meal without leaving a single bite. After eating, she went to the bathroom to induce vomiting.
After a bout of retching, Yu Xianxian still had to maintain her beautiful appearance. Her agent did not arrive until the evening of that day.
After her agent arrived, the production crew came to inform them that the live broadcast would officially begin the next day.
Hearing this, Yu Xianxian's face turned green.
Hadn't all the suffering she endured today been in vain?
The dinner that day was obviously much more thoughtful. It was a banquet where all the participating guests gathered. Not only was the venue beautifully and warmly decorated, but the food was also excellent.
At the table, Xia Qingtian officially met the other filming guests and familiarized herself with them.
This shoot had a total of five groups of guests, comprising 11 people.
Besides Xia Qingtian and Yu Xianxian's groups, there was another group consisting of two guests from the same boy band. They both had the same agent and were currently sitting together, appearing to have a good relationship. Another group of guests was a seasoned actress with considerable experience, good acting skills, and a strong reputation in the industry. She always had a smiling, approachable demeanor, and her agent had been in the industry for many years and seemed to be quite familiar with Wen Ning.
The last group of guests was a veteran martial arts star, whose agent was his wife. They were a husband-and-wife team, and their interaction was natural and harmonious, indicating a great deal of mutual understanding.
Finally, the actress proposed that everyone introduce themselves to get acquainted and took the lead as an example.
With the actress leading the way, everyone else also began to introduce themselves in a casual manner. To help each other remember, they all stated their nicknames, either the last two characters of their names or the affectionate names given by their fans.
"My name is Xia Qingtian, and you can call me Qingtian," Xia Qingtian said. "I'm still a newcomer, and I hope everyone will give me guidance."
"I don't think I've seen you before," Yu Xianxian looked at Xia Qingtian, resting her chin on her hands, feigning an innocent demeanor. "Have you acted in any works, or..."
"I know you!" one of the boy band members said, smiling and revealing a small canine tooth. "You're Sui Sui's original voice, right? I've covered Sui Sui's songs, and I really love your songs."
"Thank you for liking my Sui Sui so much," Xia Qingtian said with a chuckle.
"Who is Sui Sui?" the actress asked, looking at the two of them.
"She's a virtual idol launched by Gu's Entertainment this year. Previously, on the internet..." the person with the canine tooth was saying when his teammate nudged him with his elbow. He then realized that Gu's Entertainment and Wanqing Entertainment had a very unpleasant dispute over this matter, and it might not be a good idea to bring up that trending topic now.
"That's right, I previously had a duet with Ling Feng'an online," Xia Qingtian smoothly picked up the topic, smoothing things over. "Ling Feng'an's singing skills are amazing!"
"Yes, Ling Feng'an is my idol!" The person with the canine tooth immediately looked at Xia Qingtian with gratitude after she helped him smooth things over. He then quickly joined the conversation and naturally began his introduction. "My name is Xiao Hu, and this is my teammate Xiao Lang. Our nicknames were all given by our fans."
"Did your group run into a zoo?" Xia Qingtian asked, blinking her eyes.
"You need to broaden your horizons," Xiao Hu made a gesture.
"Yes, the zoo ran into your group," Xia Qingtian nodded.
"Haha." Everyone burst into laughter at Xia Qingtian's words. The atmosphere at dinner was very pleasant, except for Yu Xianxian, whose smile was slightly stiff and perfunctory. Her occasional glances at Xia Qingtian were also ominous.
