324: Beating the Dog in the Water

Beating the Dog in the Water

1"I'm still a teenage idol, yet you want me to take part in an X-rated film?!" Tang Yu screeched as she turned red from shame.

"Oh? You still have the nerve to put feathers in your cap? Teenage idol? This time, you've stirred up such a huge trouble, and your videos have gone viral. Who hasn't seen you without clothes? Why are you being difficult by pretending modesty?" Qin Zhou taunted her.

"I…" She was at a loss for words.

"Don't look down on this production. Do you know how many female stars queue up just to be in it? For a role, they compete till they are badly battered, yet you're still unsatisfied with it," he spoke indifferently.

This was downright humiliation!

Abashed, she demanded furiously, "Mr. Qin, are you trying to drag me down?"

He pretended to be indignant. "Hey, you've mistaken a good man for a bad one. I'm trying to help you out of goodwill, yet you're saying that I'm out to drag you down. Really… Hmph! I'm doing you this much favor by introducing you to that production. Look at your reputation now; even if the head producer considers you because of me, whether he chooses you or not is another thing altogether!"

"You—"

She was so enraged she stomped her feet. Suddenly, out of her peripheral, her angry eyes laid on Yun Shishi's face.

The latter paused with her pen, only to feel a chill up her spine. When she looked up, she spotted Tang Yu staring at her venomously.

What is this? Why am I getting dragged into this?

"Yun Shishi, why are you here at Huanyu?"

"Signing a contract," she replied coldly.

"Signing a contract?" She was shocked. "You're being signed on to Huanyu?"

It was usually impossible for a newly debuted rookie to be signed on to Huanyu Entertainment, unless one had a powerful background or a strong backer. No matter how good one's aptitude was, to be signed on to Huanyu's headquarters directly at the start of their career, this was totally unheard of.

Two other studios were under Huanyu's administration.

Normally, newly debuted newbies were signed on to either of those studios first.

When they reached a certain level of fame, Huanyu would then deliberate on signing a contract with them.

As the star-making factory people dreamed of entering in the entertainment industry, the bar to sign a contract with Huanyu was set unusually high.

With her sharp eyes, Tang Yu noticed that the documents she was signing were indeed contract templates and agreement letters; she became so jealous her eyes were almost bloodshot.

Scarily bloodshot.

"B*tch, what tricks did you pull?!"

"Who are you talking about?" Before he could say anything, Yun Shishi snapped, "Watch what you say."

Tang Yu was dazed.

At the gala, Yun Shishi, with her gentle disposition, was a pushover.

Why were her words suddenly this vicious, and why was she not as servile as before?

Maybe… Now that the masses no longer favored her, even a yet-to-debut rookie dared look down on her?

"Ha, 'if the tiger goes down to leveled land, it will be insulted by dogs'!"

Yun Shishi smirked. "Ha."

It was not that she bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Back at the gala, she was mindful of her image; as a newbie, she clearly could not make herself stand out too much at such an event. Otherwise, offending one person was no different than offending a group of people.

Seniority was emphasized the most in the entertainment industry. If she were to be too showy, as a rookie that had yet to debut, it would be unavoidable for her to be attacked by everyone.

However, in private, why should she hold back?

"You've got everything mixed up. Right now, I'm the tiger and you're the dog. What's wrong with me insulting you? 'Beating the dog in the water', haven't you heard of this before?"

Qin Zhou was surprised.

This gal was quite vicious with her words!

Who did she learn this from?

"You—" Tang Yu was so maddened she raised her hand. He quickly stopped her before she could land a slap on her.

"D*mn you! This is my office. Who let you throw a fit here?"

He spun around and rebuked Yun Shishi as well. "Not that I'm nagging at you, but why are you arguing with the likes of her? She's got nothing to lose so she isn't afraid of you! Don't mess with her."
