Chapter 75: Palpitations
Fang Jianing was playing games while dealing with the bullet comments. Then, unexpectedly, she killed a noob, whistled, and with just a few more people, she could achieve a perfect chicken dinner.
And her mood recently was quite good. She performed exceptionally well on the last quiz, ranking in the top ten, a rank she had never achieved before. If she performed well, she could get into a good university in the future. Once she got into university, her parents should agree to let her show her face on live streams. She secretly really wanted to show her face on live streams. After all, beautiful girls all want to show their pretty faces to others. It was just a pity that Fang Jianing had relied on talent to make a living since her debut.
“Little Angel, what do you do in real life? You seem very young?”
“Yeah, we never hear you mention work matters. You don’t seem like an office white-collar worker.”
“Could Little Angel be a high school girl (smirk)?”
Fang Jianing looked at these bullet comments and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
How should she put it? Some bullet comments unintentionally guessed the truth. She really was an active female high school student. As a female high school student, actually live-streaming online, her school teachers would probably be very angry if they knew. After all, those teachers were very conservative.
“What I am isn’t really important. What’s important is that I love you all very much!”
“Wow, touched… Little Angel, I declare my love for you!”
“Marry me, Little Angel!”
“Agreed!”
“No, marry me!”
“Seconded!”
“Although I’m also a girl, I still have to say, Little Angel, marry me!”
The bullet comments in the live broadcast room instantly became lively. This was exactly what Fang Jianing wanted to see. As a streamer, who wouldn’t want their popularity to be higher?
Moreover, being able to support herself with this was also a skill. Her parents wouldn’t oppose her continuing to increase her popularity. As long as she did well in this industry, she could keep going.
And what about Yu Linna?
Her situation, relatively speaking, wasn’t so lucky.
Since signing with Orange River and becoming an artist under their banner, her life trajectory began to change. It was just that she didn’t know which direction she would develop in.
Although she filmed several commercials under their name, that was all. The other party didn’t really intend to entrust her with heavy responsibilities. They just let Yu Linna do some insignificant tasks. Obviously, their focus wasn’t here. After all, Yu Linna was 100% a newcomer, and her acting skills weren’t good enough. It was impossible to let her act in movies.
“Miss Yu, you’ve been performing very well recently, but it’s still too early for you to participate in movies. Wait a little longer.”
Every time Yu Linna asked, Yu Tianchen, her nominal agent, always answered her this way.
“But I want to start filming as soon as possible.”
She had waited a bit long. She felt increasingly uneasy, always feeling restless if she didn’t do something.
“That day will come, but not now. Miss Yu, you still have many things to learn. Before you can stand on your own, we can’t let you take on roles.”
Yu Linna’s strength wasn’t enough; she couldn’t carry a film. Even letting her play a supporting role, her strength wasn’t enough. Moreover, letting her act in a film required calculating the salary, which was written in the contract, not just giving a wage like for shooting commercials.
Besides, Yu Linna’s value wasn’t high enough. Letting her act in movies was completely unrealistic. She wasn’t Nangong Ying.
Yu Tianchen sat in the office, talking to Yu Linna on the phone, still wearing a kind smile, but what he was thinking inside was unknown. He was actually very experienced in dealing with such children. How many ignorant little girls wanted to enter here? How many little girls wanted to enter the fiercely competitive entertainment industry? But how many female stars could truly stand out?
He knew that Yu Linna was just an add-on for them to sign Nangong Ying. Actually, they didn’t want Yu Linna, but Nangong Ying. It was just that Nangong Ying was a bit unappreciative, so they used a little trick, letting her proactively send Yu Linna in, and then they had the chance to seek out Nangong Ying again.
And Nangong Ying, after tasting bitterness, finally became much more obedient. She had already agreed to sign with Orange River, but the signing time was set for later. It was naturally a good thing that she was so obedient. Thinking back to her initial self-important appearance, her edges were probably smoothed out by now.
However, Yu Linna’s role wasn’t entirely useless.
After all, she was Nangong Ying’s “substitute.”
“Miss Yu, how about this? Come to the office this afternoon. A high-level leader wants to see you.”
“Okay, I’ll be there on time. What time?”
Naive her still didn’t know what kind of place she had entered. A sheep entering a wolf’s den, one careless step, and it would be an abyss.
Unfortunately, she was still a novice now, completely ignorant of society’s rules.
In the afternoon, Yu Linna arrived on time. The high-level leader’s office was on the twelfth floor. The winding corridor stretched on. Yu Linna walked to door 1209, stood before it, feeling a little nervous. It was her first time meeting a leader, and she was personally summoned. She wasn’t dressed formally; would she leave a bad impression? What if her performance wasn’t good later?
With a mind full of worries, Yu Linna still knocked on the door. When the voice “Come in” came from the other side, Yu Linna opened the door and entered.
Sitting behind the desk was a man in a suit, over forty, already overweight, his face stern. His broad shoulders gave an air of authority. He seemed like a man of few words; she hadn’t seen him smile since entering.
So this is Yu Linna? the man thought inwardly.
Although not as well-developed as Nangong Ying, she’s still quite decent. And mixed-race too, just thinking about it is exciting.
“You must be Yu Linna. I’ve heard from Tianchen. You’re good friends with Nangong Ying.”
“Hello, Leader. Thank you very much for taking the time to see me amidst your busy schedule. I will work hard for the company’s future!”
The somewhat nervous Yu Linna bowed repeatedly. This little sheep-like personality greatly satisfied the leader.
“My surname is Chen, Chen Liquan. Just call me Uncle Chen.”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare! How could I? I should still call you Leader Chen!”
Hehe, this little sheep is really interesting.
Chen Liquan was very satisfied with this girl’s performance. This girl’s biggest flaw was her lack of shrewdness, not being good at scheming. But these flaws all became advantages here. He wanted exactly this kind of pure, untainted girl. This way, manipulating her would also be convenient.
If it were someone like Nangong Ying, he wouldn’t have an easy time. Although she was a newcomer with no background, she was, after all, the biological daughter of the famous national-level athlete Nangong Zhuo. Even though he didn’t belong to the entertainment industry, if he knew his precious daughter was treated like this, Orange River wouldn’t be able to settle things peacefully either.
Yu Linna was different. She was an orphan since childhood, completely without background. This made her highly manipulable.
“Xiao Yu, come here.”
“What is it, Leader?”
“Just come here.”
Yu girl walked towards him, getting closer and closer. Chen Liquan smiled more and more brightly. He seemed to see an angel beckoning to him.
Yu Linna, what a beautiful name. The person who gave this name surely didn’t expect that the child given this name would now be trampled and crushed.
Chen Liquan stretched out his broad hand and placed it on Yu Linna’s head. The hair on Yu Linna’s head was soft and comfortable, feeling good to the touch. This was much better than the old hag at home. Although a bit small, it wasn’t bad, just right to try.
“Leader Chen?”
Yu Linna didn’t know what was happening, but instinctively sensed danger. Her body shrank back slightly.
Chen Liquan’s other hand rested on her shoulder, his body leaning forward, his breath spraying on her body. A carnal aura spread. The most primitive human emotions were aroused.
“Xiao Yu, do you want to act in movies? Want to get a role, then become famous overnight?”
“I…”
“Come, tell me your true wish. I will help you realize it. But humans making deals with the devil must pay a price. You must be prepared.”
Saying this, the man’s face was filled with smiles, but this smile was terrifying.
Yu Linna’s heart tightened. Fear instinctively surged through her body. Her brows furrowed tightly, her body began to tremble.
Wrong, wrong…
This isn’t what she wanted!
This is definitely strange!
She seemed to understand that she had entered a trap.
Yu Linna abruptly broke free, shaking off the large hand, taking several steps back, her face deathly pale. But she knew she shouldn’t stay long. Looking at the confusion on Chen Liquan’s face, she felt as if she had seen a devil.
“I… I’m sorry, Leader. I have something else to do. I’ll leave first!”
Yu Linna gave him no time to react. She quickly opened the back door and ran out, looking like she had seen a ghost. Even Chen Liquan didn’t expect her to be so decisive. He thought this naive child would remain oblivious.
But this also made him quite unhappy. He thought it would go smoothly, who knew such a change would occur. This little sheep’s alertness completely exceeded his imagination. Although she wasn’t smart enough, she instinctively sensed the arrival of danger. This kind was scary.
“Hmph, Yu Linna.”
Forget it. Anyway, he wasn’t short of women. He had plenty of opportunities. If not this time, then next time. There would always be a successful time.
Few could enter Orange River’s eyes. Even fewer could conquer people with strength. As long as he was willing, he could recruit people anytime.
Their Orange River was the leader of the film industry.
Yu Linna ran out of the office, rushed out of the office building, gasping for breath, her face deathly pale. She really couldn’t believe that what she least wanted to encounter almost happened just now.
She made a phone call, unsure how she remained calm. She randomly said a few words to the person on the other end. The person on the other end didn’t understand what she was talking about, just indicated they would come over.
Ten minutes later, in the park, a girl walked in. When she saw the blonde girl sitting on the bench, constantly trembling, she knew something must have happened to this child.
“What’s wrong, Linna? Did something happen?”
When she walked over, Yu Linna didn’t care about anything, just went forward and hugged her, refusing to let go. As if only this way could she feel a trace of security. Touching her shoulder, she could feel her trembling.
“Linna, what’s wrong? You can tell me if something happened…”
“Don’t ask me, Jianing. Let me hug you for a while, please…”
“Okay.”
Fang Jianing patted her head, letting her lean against her chest. Although she didn’t know what happened, she felt this was what she should do now.
