Fang Han was a little confused. Shouldn't the director have already watched Fang Mo'er's audition video? Why was he saying that he didn't know what her sister's acting skills were?

Could it be that he had made a judgment without even seeing Sister Fang's video?

That was too arbitrary.

The audition video tested the most basic of emotions.

Usually, if there was nothing glaringly wrong, they would be selected for the live scene audition.

Fang Han thought for a moment. After the call with Director Wang, she had used her connections to look for all the audition tapes for the female lead.

She had watched all three videos.

Fang Han was even more surprised when she saw them. Fang Mo'er's performance was obviously outstanding. Why had Director Wang said that Fang Mo'er had not even learned the basics of acting?

Could it possibly be a misunderstanding?

After thinking this through, Fang Han could not sit still and immediately brought the video to Director Wang.

"Director Wang, with such a performance, are you telling me that the person has no acting foundation?" Fang Han had directly placed Fang Mo'er's audition video in front of Director Wang.

Director Wang picked up the video and studied it for a while. He said, "This person's acting skills are not bad. Her emotions are very natural. She can come and audition for my female lead role. By the way, who is this person?"

Fang Han was a little speechless. "This person is Fang Mo'er!"

"That's impossible. Isn't it true that Fang Mo'er has never studied acting before?

"Where did you hear that from? Look at this video. Does this look like it?"

Director Wang was also very confused. He looked at the video again. Fang Mo'er's performance was very natural. In fact, it was even better than the other two actresses that he had seen auditioning for the role.

With such a good talent, he was very curious to see what this person would be like during the live audition.

Director Wang said, "Perhaps my assistant was mistaken. I will send a message informing her that she is to come for the live audition as well."

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Fang Han heaved a sigh of relief and quickly took out her phone to send a message to Fang Mo'er.

"Sister, I have good news for you! If I hadn't found this out, you would have missed the audition for the female lead role!"

Fang Han seemed like she wanted to claim some credit. After all, she really wanted to build a good relationship with Fang Mo'er. She quickly told Fang Mo'er about how she had found out about director Wang's misunderstanding and how she had resolved it.

Fang Mo'er's song had just been released.

The first thing she did was inform Lang Qi about it.

She had not expected Lang Qi to forward her new song to the WeChat group and tag everyone.

Lang Qi@everyone: "Everyone, come out quickly. The Veiled Queen's song is really too good. I just listened to it once, and I'm now playing it on loop constantly."

Little singer Bei Shi: "Her singing is really very good. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with the Veiled Queen. I've already forwarded it and recommended it to Weibo."

Lang Qi@the little actor Gong Hao again: "Is the movie star that busy?"

After a while, Gong Hao replied, "The song has already been added to my song list."

Not long after, Fang Mo'er discovered that a few people had shared her song on public Weibo and had even become a favorite.

She quickly sent a message in the group chat, "Everyone, you've been so helpful. Thank you, thank you."

Fang Mo'er's name in the group chat was "Little Veiled Cutie", following the tradition of adding the "Little".

The others were being modest, but she really was cute!

Lang Qi quickly said, "We're family, so of course we should help each other out. In the future, I might even need your help in recording my theme song!"

Little Veiled Cutie: "If there's anything you need, just let me know." She was very obedient and sensible.

Just then, Fang Mo'er received a message from Fang Han.

She opened it and smiled, "That's great! I thought I had been rejected because my acting skills weren't good enough! Turns out, it was just a misunderstanding!"

Previously, Fang Mo'er had adjusted her position to the level of a rookie. But now, with Fang Han's feedback, she suddenly felt that her acting skills could compete with Bai Rong's. Perhaps she could really succeed.

Director Wang, who rarely praised actors, had said that her acting was natural. That meant that she had an advantage.

At the same time.

Her manager, Shen Yue, had just received news from the production team.

They had informed her about the time of the two actors' live auditions.

It was not surprising that Lang Qi had been selected.

However, Fang Mo'er had also been selected.

Shen Yue, who had initially thought that Fang Mo'er's acting skills were not good, reacted and immediately opened the video of Fang Mo'er's audition.

In the video, Fang Mo'er performed according to the usual requirements.

She started by sitting on the chair. One moment, she looked depressed, then the next moment, she could not stop laughing. Then in the next moment, she walked to the corner and hammered the wall hard. The change of emotions was so natural that no one could see any traces of her acting. It was very easy to believe the emotions she was portraying.

What surprised Shen Yue even more was that Fang Mo'er was very good at finding her angles. Every side of her face was perfectly displayed in the camera.

It was as if she had been born with the spatial awareness of a camera.

That face, which was already beautiful, was perfectly displayed in front of the camera!

---

I didn't expect that Fang Mo'er would have such talent in acting!" Shen Yue murmured, "It seems that she can be trained in all aspects!"

Initially, she had only wanted her to focus on becoming a singer, but it was different now. Perhaps she could develop in different fields at the same time.

…

Creative Entertainment held a shareholders' meeting.

As one of the major shareholders, Fang Mo'er had also been called to attend.

Her appearance caused a commotion in the whole company.

Many of the colleagues who had previously badmouthed her, saw her striding in. Although they did not show it on the surface, they were screaming on the inside.

Hence, every department in the company was discussing this matter.

"Look, Fang Mo'er is here. She's walking over with such confidence!"

"Do you think she will cause any trouble during the meeting?"

"The company has been trying to support Bai Rong recently. What do you think her expression will be like when she hears that during the meeting?"

"It's over, I feel like the higher-ups are going to fight!"

"It's alright. After all, Mu Chen is still the biggest shareholder and has the highest say. Fang Mo'er is just here as support."

Bai Rong's new song, "Flame", had just been released recently and had already achieved good results.

The competition chart for January had been specially set up for veteran singers.

The King and Queen of Songs would usually choose to release a song at this time, depending on which singer had a bigger fan base support.

Generally speaking, new singers would choose to remain silent during this month.

However, Bai Rong was very brave. The company had just recruited a gold-medal songwriter, Bai Liang, who seemed to have come specifically for Bai Rong. As soon as he had entered, he had forcefully created a song that was very likely to be popular. Furthermore, the company had spent a large amount of resources to promote it.

Now, the song "Flame" had already entered the Top Ten of the New Talent Rankings chart!

It was well-known that the Top Ten was filled with some of the best singers, so the battle was fierce. Bai Rong had been able to enter the Top Ten under such circumstances. This was something that she had never dared to imagine in the past.

Therefore, when Fang Mo'er entered the meeting room, she noticed that Bai Rong was sitting beside Mu Chen in high spirits.

Fang Mo'er picked an empty seat and sat down.

Her appearance had caused the shareholders to fall silent.

"Isn't this a shareholders' meeting? How can someone who isn't a shareholder sit here?" Fang Mo'er tilted her head and looked in Bai Rong's direction.

The shareholders stared at her with bated breath. This was what they had been anticipating. They were really going to tear each other apart. They had known it would be like this, they had just known it.

As expected, the scene of two women fighting over a man was about to be played out in the meeting room!

Bai Rong, who had been called out, turned pale. "I'm also an artiste of the company. Why can't I participate?"

"Oh, oh, in that case, what contributions have you made to the company? If you can participate, then does that mean all the other artistes can participate as well? I remember that since your debut, you've spent quite a lot of the company's money, haven't you?"

So, what right did Bai Rong have to sit here? Was it just because she had spent money?

Bai Rong was so angry that she stood up immediately.

Mu Chen reached out to pull her back and said to her, "Don't you have a new song promotion meeting to attend? Go and do your work first."

Fang Mo'er was right, Bai Rong did not have the right to sit here.

Thus, Mu Chen had no choice but to let her leave first.

Bai Rong glared at Fang Mo'er, but she could do nothing except stand up and leave.

The meeting room fell silent again.

Mu Chen looked at Fang Mo'er coldly before saying, "Let's begin!

"The topic for today's meeting is about the company's efforts to support Bai Rong. Everyone knows that Bai Rong's songs have already entered the Top Ten of the competition chart. Those who are capable of entering this chart are usually considered as one of the best singers!

"Also, the company will also be allowing her to participate in film and television performances in the future, making her an all-rounded artiste! Recently, Bai Rong was invited to participate in the audition for the female lead role for the show 'Love Mist'!"

All the signs seemed to point towards Bai Rong becoming popular and bringing the company good profits.

Initially, the shareholders had not been satisfied that Mu Chen had always given resources to Bai Rong alone.

But now that they were about to make a huge profit, all of them expressed their support.

"I know about 'Love Mist'. It is currently touted as the most promising television drama because there are too many fans of the original novel. As long as it is aired, there will be a lot of traffic. I heard that the very popular Lang Qi was also invited to be the male lead! That means that if Bai Rong is able to be chosen as the female lead, her future will then be limitless!"

Fang Mo'er listened to these analyses and wondered to herself if that meant that her own future really was limitless. If she remembered correctly, her own song had just entered the top five of the contending leaderboards and was still rising steadily.

Moreover, it was still uncertain whether Bai Rong would become the female lead. It was not appropriate to brag about it now. After all, she was also among the candidates for the female lead role in the audition.

However, at the moment, all everyone knew was that Bai Rong had a high chance of winning the female lead role. They did not know that the director had already informed Fang Mo'er that she was to be added to the list.

She wondered what the expressions of the people who were present would be like when they heard that Fang Mo'er was also in the running for the female lead role.

It should also be very exciting.

A big drama was about to start.

Fang Mo'er suddenly spoke up, "I object!"

---

Everyone turned to look at Fang Mo'er.

"I think that since Bai Rong has yet to be selected for the female lead role, it's too early to give her the company's resources just because she's participating in the audition. It's better to wait for her to become the female lead first before making a decision. After all, Bai Rong had lost a lot of the company's money so far. Recently, she also spent a lot of money to get her song into the charts. President Mu, when will we be able to earn this money back?"

Fang Mo'er had hit the sore spot of the shareholders. They were not here to support Mu Chen in promoting his woman.

Their main goal was to see the profits and make money.

When Bai Rong had been blacklisted by the entire Internet, Mu Chen had strongly supported her re-debut. A lot of money had been spent on publicity!

"Fang Mo'er, this is the company's strategy. From a long-term perspective, you have to invest before you reap the benefits. You just don't understand this!" Mu Chen looked straight at Fang Mo'er, with a warning in his voice.

However, the shareholders had already wavered. "I think we should wait until she really does get selected for 'Love Mist'. She's not the only artiste in the company. There's no need to always give all of our resources to one person!"

"That's right. If we want the company to support us, we have to show our strength!"

Although Mu Chen was the largest shareholder, if all the other shareholders voted against it, Mu Chen alone would not be able to stand up to so many people.

Hence, Mu Chen said, "Alright, we'll wait for the audition results of 'Love Mist' to come out then."

And just like that, a good meeting came to an end because of Fang Mo'er's suggestion.

Fang Mo'er heaved a sigh of relief. She did not want the company to keep losing money because of Bai Rong. That would mean that her money that would be lost!

After this meeting, every artiste in the company would have access to resources. Bai Rong would only receive ordinary treatment.

She would no longer have any privileges.

After the meeting ended, the decision was announced.

In the songwriting department.

"Fang Mo'er is too amazing. The moment she joined the board of directors, she managed to adjust the company's resources!"

"Actually, I've always felt that there is no need for the company to only support one artiste. It's not like there are no other artistes here with potential!"

"But to be honest, with Bai Rong's song, even when she was competing against the other top singers, she was still able to maintain her tenth place position. That's already a very good achivement! Indeed, she has a lot of potential!"

"The one with the most potential should be the Veiled Queen. Her song has actually climbed to third place! I think the Veiled Queen is the one who's going to be famous. This newcomer singer is amazing!"

The songwriting department's colleagues then quickly went to look at the chart of contenders.

After taking a look, they saw that the Veiled Queen's song had actually entered another place. It now hung in third place.

Wasn't this was too unbelievable? In the places both before and after her placing, were some of the most popular veteran singers. After such a fierce battle, the Veiled Queen's song had actually managed to advance by one place. It was terrifying.

Then, everyone watched helplessly as Bai Rong's song fell out of the top ten.

Each of their faces showed their horror.

This was the work of their new ace songwriter, Bai Liang. He had spent a lot of effort writing this song. Why did it suddenly drop out now?

After checking the reason, they found out that it was because Bai Rong's song collided with the style of the Veiled Queen's song. Because the styles of both songs were similar and the Veiled Queen's song was extremely good, when the fans listened to Bai Rong's song, they no longer liked it that much.

Everyone was hooked on the Veiled Queen's song!

Therefore, Bai Rong's song had dropped to 11th place.

"It's still not too bad, right? After all, 11th place is hard to come by!" A colleague consoled himself.

Bai Rong was looking at her dropped ranking, with reddened eyes.

It was Fang Mo'er again!

"Little Rong, don't worry. When you become the female lead, the shareholders will definitely support you fully!" Mu Chen had come to look for Bai Rong as soon as he had entered the meeting room and was trying to calm her down.

However, Bai Rong was still in a terrible mood.

When Mu Chen saw her staring at her phone angrily, he immediately walked over and found that the ranking on the contending list had changed.

"This Veiled Queen has too much potential. If I had known earlier, I would have signed her into the company, no matter what!" Mu Chen sighed.

It would have been great if Bai Rong was the one who was in third place.

However, Bai Rong had also done well and entered the top ten.

Mu Chen looked again, but he also paused. "Why did you lose one place?"

Bai Rong said aggrievedly, "Because the title and style of my song are similar to the Veiled Queen's song so in comparison, the audience just got tired of the aesthetic of mine!"

"It's okay. Next time, the company will give you a different style!" Mu Chen knew that in a comparison with the Veiled Queen, he could not compete, so he had to change the topic.

Initially, Bai Rong was unwilling, but when she heard Mu Chen talk about acting, she instantly regained her confidence.

So what if Fang Mo'er was the Veiled Queen?

At most, she was a singer.

However, she was someone who wanted to follow the acting route. As for Fang Mo'er, she had not even learned how to act yet. She would only be able to watch her in the movies and be envious.

Thinking of this, Bai Rong was in a good mood again. "Director Wang personally called me earlier and asked me to go over for an audition tomorrow."

Mu Chen nodded. "Prepare well then!"

---

The venue where the audition for the female lead of "Love Mist" was being held.

Bai Rong was the second to arrive. There was also another actress from another company present.

However, Bai Rong was still very confident that she would get the role of the female lead because although the other person's acting skills were good, her image was lacking.

The female lead of "Love Mist" was sunny and sweet, so at a glance, Director Wang had felt that Bai Rong was very suitable.

"Why hasn't it started yet?"

It could be seen that the director, producer, and investors had all arrived.

Furthermore, the actors had arrived, yet everyone still seemed to be waiting for someone.

Bai Rong discreetly questioned Director Wang's assistant.

The assistant's eyes flickered before he said, "There's another candidate."

Bai Rong was surprised. "Who is it?"

The assistant replied, "It's Fang Mo'er. Director Wang changed his mind at the last minute and asked her to participate."

The assistant was worried that he had messed up, so it was difficult to tell Bai Rong about this.

Bai Rong's expression changed when she heard that. "How could this be?!"

Just then, a beautiful figure slowly walked over.

It was Fang Mo'er who had come to audition.

Fang Mo'er had just entered the door when she saw Fang Han, who was sitting beside the director, winking at her.

Fang Mo'er smiled and strode over.

Bai Rong noticed the interaction between Fang Mo'er and the investor, and her expression darkened.

So, it turns out Fang Mo'er had used the back door to get in. It was no wonder that she could climb back up even after being rejected.

However, she did not believe that with Fang Mo'er's lousy acting skills, she could really become the female lead. Director Wang would not be that stupid as to ruin his own show.

On the other side of the room, Director Wang said, "Everyone is here, so let's start the audition now. Let's go according to the order of arrival!"

Hence, the female actress in front of Bai Rong was the first to walk out.

The content of today's audition was to be a scene from the show.

It was about the sweet appearance of the female lead when she fell in love with the male lead.

The female lead would look at the male lead as if in a trance, with a feeling of electric currents flowing between the two of them.

One of the crew members would be standing in for the male lead for all of the auditions.

Fang Mo'er watched the performance of the first actress seriously.

She was not sure if she could win the female lead role based on her own strength.

However, she noticed that the expression of the actress was very good, but because of the shape of her face, she appeared to lack a little sweetness in her performance.

Director Wang showed his approval and asked for the next person to go on stage.

Fang Mo'er also shook her head inwardly. It was a pity since the actress' acting skills were pretty good, but her appearance did not match up.

The next person was Bai Rong.

It would be the same scene as before. When Bai Rong acted with the member of the crew, the sweetness came out.

Fang Mo'er was surprised. She had not expected Bai Rong to be so suitable.

However, Bai Rong usually pretended to have this kind of sweet and harmless temperament anyway. Why else were so many people misled by her appearance and be willing to step forward to help her?

Therefore, in the original book, it was not unreasonable that Bai Rong ended up at the top of the entertainment circle. She had had the help of many influential people along the way.

For example, Bai Liang, who had taken the initiative to write a song for her, and Director Wang, who had given her the role of the female lead with just one glance.

Director Wang looked at her and said in satisfaction, "Your image is very suitable, and your temperament is also in place!" She had displayed that sweet and youthful aura to the fullest.

Bai Rong's eyes flashed with excitement at receiving such an evaluation. She smiled and walked off the stage.

She swept an arrogant glance at Fang Mo'er and said in a low voice, "I'm just waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"

Fang Mo'er looked back at her and said, "Oh, just watch how I surpass you!"

The two of them eyed each other as Fang Mo'er walked out slowly.

Director Wang's scrutinizing gaze landed on Fang Mo'er.

Although in the video, Fang Mo'er's performance of the basic emotions was quite spot-on, it was still just the most basic of skills.

The live test was different. It would not just be a test of basic skills. It would also be a test of the ability to speak their lines, their physicality, and the interaction as they acted with others. The most difficult thing was to immerse themselves into the role and completely turn into another person!

Bai Rong had acted as herself just now.

However, Fang Mo'er did not usually have a sweet demeanor, did she? So, how would she perform?

Everyone looked at Fang Mo'er on the stage.

Fang Han even made a gesture of encouragement to Fang Mo'er.

Director Wang shook his head and said to Fang Han, "I will only be assessing her acting skills. If she can't perform, I will still reject her!"

What he meant was that no matter how unhappy Fang Han was, it could not be helped.

He was not willing to compromise.

Bai Rong covered her mouth and smiled when she heard that. Fang Mo'er, you can only go so far.

The crew who was standing in was already in position and had remained expressionless throughout the entire process so far. He merely cooperated with each actress as he had said his lines.

However, in the next moment, Fang Mo'er suddenly revealed the bashful look of a girl in love and glanced at the crew member.

The crew member paused and stared at the woman who had suddenly transformed to become so sweet. He was completely mesmerized.

He could not help but be attracted by Fang Mo'er's every move.

Director Wang leaned forward and looked at Fang Mo'er in disbelief.

---

Currently, Fang Mo'er's gaze was filled with love.

There seemed to be peach blossom petals blooming in her eyes.

The crew member was instantly brought into the scene and atmosphere of the script by Fang Mo'er.

Director Wang muttered, "The highest acting skills are not just when you can enter the scene yourself, but when you can also bring others into the scene unknowingly, thus, giving the best reaction!"

Only Fang Han, who was by his side, heard this. She looked at the stage excitedly.

Throughout the entire performance, the crew was no longer just speaking his lines in a formal manner. Instead, he was acting out the character's emotions.

With one look from Fang Mo'er, the other party would be in high spirits. With one look of dissatisfaction, the other party would feel uneasy.

After the performance was over, Fang Mo'er left the stage area. The crew member had yet to come out of the role and continued staring at Fang Mo'er's back.

Bai Rong looked at Fang Mo'er angrily and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You're so despicable, you actually bribed that crew member!"

The crew who had been acting as a stand-in had been reciting his lines robotically throughout. However, with Fang Mo'er, he had been different. He had actually been very proactive and cooperative.

Bai Rong refused to believe that Fang Mo'er had not done anything underhanded!

These two must have rehearsed the scene long ago! That was why they acted so naturally today.

Ah, this was cheating, how shameless!

Not only had Fang Mo'er used her connections, but she had also even bribed the crew member!

D*mn it.

"Wow wow wow! That performance just now was extremely wonderful!" Director Wang suddenly stood up and announced, "I've decided that the female lead of 'Love Mist' will be played by Fang Mo'er!"

Director Wang had already decided that this role could not be played by anyone other than Fang Mo'er.

Not only could Fang Mo'er express that sweet feeling, but she was also even better than Bai Rong because she had the ability to immerse even a crew member into the scene with her.

Such high acting skills could not be hidden.

Therefore, he made his decision on the spot.

Bai Rong was so angry that her face turned red.

"Director, but she's still a newcomer. Do you think that's appropriate?" Bai Rong could not help but ask.

Fang Han, who was beside Director Wang, spoke out. "So what if she's a newcomer? She's someone that our Fang family's company supports. Our family is willing to spend the money to support her!"

Bai Rong had nothing to say. She could feel the power of the investor.

Director Wang said, "Miss Bai, your performance is also not bad. How about this? I haven't found a candidate for the role of the second female lead in my show. Are you willing to be the second female lead?"

The second female lead was the twin sister who had a crush on the male lead. She was so psychotic that she would not allow her brother to fall in love. She would appear to be harmless on the surface, but in reality, she would secretly do many bad things. In the end, she would fall ill and die.

Because the second female lead needed to look harmless on the surface, it would be more natural for Bai Rong to act the part. Who asked Bai Rong to be born with such a kind face?

Bai Rong gritted her teeth. Since she would not be able to explain her rejection to the company, it would be better if she accepted the second female lead instead.

"Thank you, Director Wang!"

When Fang Mo'er and Fang Han left the room one after another, intending on having a feast to celebrate, Bai Rong walked behind them as she stewed in her feelings of hate.

It was all Fang Mo'er's fault for bribing the crew member. Otherwise, how could Fang Mo'er's performance have compared to hers?

Director Wang said, "After signing the contract, we'll be on the same team. I've already booked a restaurant, let's go there and get to know each other better!"

Fang Han also smiled and said, "That's right, sister, let's go and have a big meal!"

"Alright, it was all thanks to you last time that I even had the chance to become the female lead. I have to thank you properly."

"We're good sisters. What need is there for thanks?"

Hearing their conversation, Bai Rong was so angry that she was about to burst.

Fang Mo'er had used a backdoor as a means to achieve this, yet she still dared to speak so brazenly. She really had no scruples!

Although Director Wang had invited everyone to dinner, the person who paid for it was Fang Han. After all, the Fang family was rich.

Fang Mo'er and Bai Rong sat opposite each other while Fang Han sat beside Fang Mo'er.

In order to win back some favor, Bai Rong deliberately smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, our President Mu happens to be nearby. He wanted to come over and give a toast to Director Wang!"

Director Wang smiled and said, "You're too kind."

Mu Chen had been eager to call Bai Rong to ask for the results.

Bai Rong added fuel to the fire and told him about how Fang Mo'er had gone backstage and how she had bribed the crew.

When Mu Chen had found out about it, he was also indignant and quickly said that he wanted to come over and support Bai Rong.

When he entered, he saw Fang Mo'er and Fang Han chatting and laughing.

Director Wang did not know about the situation between Fang Mo'er and Bai Rong.

He thought that President Mu really was just passing by, so he was very happy to greet Mu Chen.

"President Mu!"

"Hello, Director Wang!"

Mu Chen walked to Bai Rong's side and sat down.

"I'll have to trouble you to take care of Little Rong in the future!" Mu Chen raised his glass.

He deliberately demonstrated that he was very close to Bai Rong. Director Wang noticed it and was enlightened.

Mu Chen continued to make a show of his relationship with Bai Rong for a long time.

However, Fang Mo'er showed no reaction.

When he looked up, he saw Fang Mo'er and Fang Han toasting each other and whispering to each other, without taking them seriously at all.

Bai Rong gritted her teeth, and Mu Chen's face darkened as well.

---

Fang Han, who was beside Fang Mo'er, was the investor of this movie.

Mu Chen quickly understood that this Fang Han was likely Fang Mo'er's half-sister.

Oh, so she had been able to get the female lead role by going home to ask for help.

Did the director not understand Fang Mo'er's acting skills? Other than knowing how to arrange music, she did not have any other abilities.

"Director Wang, our Little Rong would like to have more guidance from you in the future," Mu Chen said to Director Wang.

Director Wang quickly said, "Miss Bai is very suitable for this role. When the time comes, she will definitely be very outstanding!"

She could fool everyone when she pretended to put on an innocent face. However, when she revealed her sinister face, it would give everyone a shock.

Whoever played the villain might be able to perform well, but there was no guarantee that she would be more popular than the main female lead.

Bai Rong was still a little unhappy.

She had studied acting seriously at university, yet her role had still been snatched away by a newcomer like Fang Mo'er.

It would be embarrassing if this was revealed.

But Fang Mo'er had Fang Han's support, so what could a small actress like her do?

After the meal.

After Fang Mo'er had signed the contract with Director Wang, a portion of her payment was immediately transferred to her.

This time, Fang Mo'er's salary would be 30 million, so she received an advance payment of 5 million.

The moment Fang Mo'er received the money, she immediately took Fang Han shopping.

Mu Chen, on the other hand, had a strange expression on his face.

From the beginning to the end of the meal, Fang Mo'er had not looked at him at all. However, wasn't it because the more one cared about someone, the more they would not dare to look at that person.

It was probably because Fang Mo'er did not want to see him and Bai Rong being intimate.

Hence, that had to be why she had quickly found an opportunity to escape, the moment the dinner ended.

Mu Chen had always felt that Fang Mo'er still had feelings for him. Even if she held a grudge against him, it was still because of love.

As Mu Chen was lost in his thoughts as he watched Fang Mo'er leave, Bai Rong quickly tugged on his sleeve.

"Darling, look at how arrogant Fang Mo'er is now. It's all because she has the Fang family backing her. She dares to ignore us now. When we're filming in the future, she'll definitely use her power to bully me! What do you think I should do?"

Mu Chen recovered himself and quickly comforted her, "She's not the only one who has the final say in the production team. Didn't Director Wang say that he's very satisfied with you and will take good care of you?"

"If that's the case, then why would Fang Mo'er still be able to become the female lead even after Director Wang had already rejected her? Would Director Wang be able to go against the investor? Won't Director Wang have to consider whatever Fang Han says?"

Bai Rong felt wronged. She felt that she was the one who had been bullied by the investor.

The female lead role had clearly been hers, but she had not had enough backing to support her, so she had missed this opportunity.

Seeing that Mu Chen was deep in thought, Bai Rong continued, "Chen, I want to show you something!"

As she spoke, Bai Rong took out a document from her bag.

After Mu Chen read it, he said in surprise, "You're pregnant? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Bai Rong said shyly, "I just found out too. Chen, are you willing to let us, mother and child, be oppressed by Fang Mo'er in the production team? You clearly have the Mu family as well."

If Mu Chen used the Mu family as a backer, surely even the Fang family would be afraid.

When that time came, she would be able to do whatever she wanted in the production team and Fang Mo'er would not be able to bully her anymore.

"Of course I don't want to see you suffer!" Mu Chen looked at her with a pained expression. "Let's go, I'll take you back with me to the Mu family right now. No matter what, you're pregnant with the blood of the Mu family. My family will not sit idly by and do nothing about this matter."

In the past, it had been fine for him to fight alone on the outside. This was the dignity that men wanted.

However, things were different now. Little Rong was pregnant, and a weak woman would need the protection of the Mu family.

Mu Chen left with Bai Rong as he spoke.

At the same time, Fang Mo'er was strolling into the shopping mall with the five million that she had just earned.

She had never ever had this much money before, not even with what she had earned in her past life and this life combined.

After all, this was five million!

Although Fang Mo'er was not short of money now, she still kept the black card that Shi Mo had given her in her bag. There was no limit to how much she could spend.

However, the feeling of earning money on her own was different. It gave her a sense of accomplishment.

They arrived at the luxury goods area.

Fang Mo'er looked at the dazzling array of shops, without knowing which one to go to.

In her previous life, Fang Mo'er had been a social animal and had never bought any branded goods. Although she was rich in this life, she still did not understand what was available in branded shops.

All she knew was to look at the price and buy.

"Sister, I'll pay today. I'll pay for whatever you want to buy!" Fang Mo'er patted her bag.

Fang Han smiled and said, "Well, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Just then, seeing that Fang Mo'er was standing at the entrance of her shop, the attendant saw that the two of them were very well-dressed and immediately came out. She then said, "Please come in and take a look at our watches. They're the latest and most fashionable designs."

The thought came to Fang Mo'er's mind that she did not have a good-looking watch, so she immediately walked in.

As soon as she entered the door, Fang Mo'er announced, "Show me your most expensive watch in the shop!" She looked very wealthy.

The attendant quickly smiled and led the two of them to the most eye-catching display case.

"This is our ace watch."

Fang Mo'er looked down at the price. Oh my god, ten million!

She could not afford it.

However, she could not back down, so Fang Mo'er shook her head. "I'm not very satisfied. Let me look at something else first."

Fang Han snickered behind her.

The two of them walked to a series of watch cabinets.

Each of them was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"Sister, take a look at which one you like. Buy whatever you want. I have money!" Fang Mo'er said to Fang Han.

Fang Han knew that she had a little money, so she cooperated and said, "I think this one is not bad. It's very beautiful!"

"Then, I want this one. It matches yours very well!" Fang Mo'er also picked a watch that was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

When she looked up, she saw the waiter smiling knowingly, as if he already knew that she could not afford to buy anything too expensive.

Fang Mo'er blushed slightly, as she was feeling a little embarrassed. She said again, "I don't want this one. Please wrap the rest up for me. I'll wear the ladies' watches together with my sister and I'll give the men's watches away."

She bought more than 20 watches in a row.

The attendant was grinning from ear to ear and quickly packed the watches respectfully.

When it was time to pay, Fang Mo'er only had a few tens of thousands of yuan leftover from the five million yuan that had been in her card.

After leaving the watch shop, Fang Mo'er was poor again.

She had spent all her money.

Sigh, it seemed that she had to work hard to earn money.

"Sister, you bought too much!" Fang Han was a little surprised when she saw Fang Mo'er carrying all the bags.

"You don't understand. I have to change the color of a lady's watch every seven days. It's not much!" Fang Mo'er said generously.

"As for the men's watches, I'll give one to my husband, one to my father, and one to my younger brother."The distribution was clear.

In the end, when Fang Mo'er went to have dinner with Fang Han, she had to pay with Shi Mo's black card.

After dinner, Fang Mo'er followed Fang Han into the car and went back to the Fang family home.

"Dad, look who's here!" Fang Han announced as soon as she entered the house. The tone of her voice was filled with excitement and a hint of pride.

In the whole family, she was now the one who got along best with Fang Mo'er. She could even talk and laugh with Fang Mo'er.

In the past, that was something that she had not even dared to consider. A few years ago, Fang Han and her younger brother Fang Kai had bumped into Fang Mo'er while at dinner and had gone over to greet her.

She had not expected Fang Mo'er to act as if she did not know them and treated them as if they did not exist. Ultimately, she had even run over to Mu Chen's side and tried to curry favor with him.

At that time, Fang Han and Fang Kai had both been dumbfounded.

Fang Han had been stunned with surprise. "Did we mistake the wrong person? Is that Fang Mo'er? Or do they just look alike?"

Fang Kai said in a dissatisfied tone, "That is Fang Mo'er!"

That's right, it had been her, the Fang Mo'er who had always disliked them!

When Fang Mo'er was five years old, her parents had divorced. She had been with her mother since she was young. She thought that her father had abandoned her all that time, so she had refused to acknowledge her father.

When her mother had passed away, Father Fang had wanted to bring Fang Mo'er back to the Fang family, but he was refused.

Who would have thought that Fang Mo'er would become like a different person and be willing to return to the Fang family?

Everyone in the Fang family was flattered.

Father Fang and Fang Kai came out of the study one after another. Both of them looked at Fang Mo'er who had followed Fang Han into the hall.

Fang Mo'er was still carrying a few gift boxes in her hands.

"Dad!" Fang Mo'er saw her father who had rushed down and quickly presented him with the watch that she had prepared. "This is a gift that I personally picked out. Do you like it?"

Fang Han praised her from the side, "This was bought by my sister with her own money. My sister is now the female lead in 'Love Mist'. She won this role based on her own merits!"

Fang Han was very proud. She had been present throughout whole the audition and had even heard Director Wang say that Fang Mo'er had managed to immerse the crew member into the scene with her. In short, she had been very impressive.

Father Fang accepted the gift box, his eyes wet with tears. "My good daughter."

Father Fang quickly opened the gift box.

Seeing that it was a very stable and dignified watch, he immediately fell in love with it and quickly put it on his wrist.

Fang Mo'er noticed that there was a tall boy behind Father Fang. His looks resembled Father Fang, but a younger, university student version.

That had to be her younger brother, Fang Kai.

Fang Mo'er waved at the silent Fang Kai. "Kai Kai, come here quickly. I bought you a present too!"

However, Fang Kai merely glanced at her coldly. "I don't wear a watch."

Fang Mo'er was stunned. Why was this brother so difficult to get along with?

Before Fang Mo'er could say anything, Fang Han had already pulled Fang Kai over. "You have to take it even if you don't wear it. This is your sister's goodwill."

Fang Mo'er clutched the gift in her hand awkwardly. "Then… why don't I pick out another gift for you next time, since you don't need this gift?"

Fang Kai stretched out his hand in disdain. "I've already bought everything I need. Just give this to me."

He took the gift and casually put it aside.

---

Since childhood, he had seen Fang Mo'er a few times. Each time, she had looked at him in disdain.

There was one time when he had seen her being bullied by Mu Chen. Mu Chen had thrown all the gifts that she had given him to the ground. Fang Kai could not stand it and had wanted to hit that man. However, he had been reprimanded by Fang Mo'er, who had told him to mind his own business and not appear in front of her in the future!

Fang Kai knew that this was a stupid woman. Not only did she have poor taste, but she also could not distinguish between good and bad!

Even though she had been bullied by an outsider, she still took the blame upon herself and refused to come back home.

From then on, every time Fang Kai had heard about how Fang Mo'er had sacrificed everything for a stinky man, he would only sneer at her.

Now, this silly woman had actually bought him a present.

Huh, had she forgotten what she had said in the past?

Although he still found it unbelievable, Fang Kai still accepted the present. There was no reason for Second Sister and his father to have a present and not him.

After Fang Mo'er had given out the presents, she sat in the Fang residence for a while before taking her leave.

In the Fang residence, Fang Kai finally opened the gift box that had been left out. He took the fashionable watch out of the box and put it on with a look of disdain. However, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

He had not expected Fang Mo'er to have such good taste. This watch seemed to fit him quite well. She must have spent a lot of effort choosing it.

Just then, Fang Han said, "Sister chose more than twenty watches from the same series in a row!"

As the recipient of one of the more than twenty watches, Fang Kai's face instantly fell.

Father Fang smiled and said, "Mo'er is a good-hearted person. She only just received her pay, yet she couldn't wait to buy gifts for others. What a grateful child!"

Fang Kai, "…"

Fang Mo'er rushed to the headquarters of the biggest entertainment company, Star Dream Era.

She had not called Shi Mo but had asked his assistant to come and pick her up. She wanted to give Shi Mo a surprise.

Assistant Yu said, "Madam, the President is in his office…" He meant to say that Shi Mo was in a meeting.

However, before Assistant Yu could finish his sentence, Fang Mo'er had pushed open the office door and winked at him. She then closed the door again.

The moment she entered, she saw Shi Mo looking down at his computer with a serious expression on his face.

He was wearing earphones, so Fang Mo'er assumed he was probably listening to a song and did not hear her enter.

Fang Mo'er tiptoed over.

She placed the gift box on the table and suddenly said, "Hubby, look what I bought for you. Are you surprised or not?

Shi Mo raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

However, he did not say anything in return.

Fang Mo'er looked at him in disappointment. "Hubby, I've specially bought you a gift. Why aren't you welcoming me? Why are you being so cold to me?"

Fang Mo'er pouted and leaned over. "If you don't hug me, I'm going to be angry!"

Shi Mo's eyes flashed. Just as she was about to step forward, he hurriedly said into the microphone, "Let's call it a day for today's meeting!"

Fang Mo'er was already close to him and saw several video calls on the computer. All of them were dressed in suits and looked very serious. However, curiosity flashed across their eyes.

Fang Mo'er instantly blushed furiously and she froze to the spot.

After Shi Mo spoke, he immediately turned off the camera at the side.

The few people who had yet to log off immediately started whispering to each other.

It was not known what they were discussing.

Fang Mo'er, "…"

Only then did Shi Mo turn off the computer screen and wave her over. "Come here!"

Fang Mo'er was upset as she looked at him. "Why didn't you say so earlier that you were in a meeting? Did everyone hear everything just now?!"

She had asked Shi Mo to give her a hug and even behaved so coquettishly.

Shi Mo's lips curled into a smile. "It's alright, they still don't know who you are."

"But, they will know in the future!" Fang Mo'er was helpless. "When I become a big star in the future and want to say that you're the man behind me, others will know that the woman who had behaved so shamelessly today was me!"

"Honey, we're husband and wife. It's normal for a husband and wife to do this!"

Shi Mo pulled her into his arms and gave her a belated hug.

Fang Mo'er leaned into his arms and pointed at the gift on the table. She said proudly, "This is for you."

Shi Mo held her with one arm and reached for the gift box with the other. He opened it and took a look.

It was a black-and-white watch that matched his temperament very well.

Fang Mo'er could tell that he was very satisfied. After all, she had chosen it herself and her taste was not bad.

"Help me put it on." Shi Mo stretched out his arm and raised it to her.

Fang Mo'er smiled and helped him put it on carefully.

"Alright… mm." Suddenly, just as Fang Mo'er raised her head in satisfaction, her lips were captured by Shi Mo.

Shi Mo merely touched her red lips lightly before pausing.

However, his breath continued to linger on the tip of her nose.

Fang Mo'er was infatuated with his scent and could not help but lean closer into his embrace.

---

She said, "There's another piece of good news."

"I guess you've become the female lead?" Shi Mo lowered his head to look at her.

"How did you know?"

"Look at how beautiful you are. Your face is smiling like a flower, the way look so pleased with yourself." Shi Mo reached out to pinch her delicate face. It was smooth and fair, making it completely irresistible.

His hand moved back and forth as he caressed her face.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Fang Mo'er immediately broke free from his embrace and started fixing her appearance.

Shi Mo glanced at her. Feeling guilty, Fang Mo'er walked over to the sofa and sat down, distancing herself from him.

She was afraid that others would see her earlier behavior.

Left with no other choice, Shi Mo could only say out loud, "Come in."

Assistant Yu pushed the door open and entered. "President Shi, it's almost time for your interview with President Yu."

Shi Mo waved his hand dismissively. "In future, if my wife is around, push aside all other unimportant matters."

Assistant Yu hurriedly nodded. "Yes."

Shi Mo suddenly said, "Wait a moment!"

Assistant Yu was stunned. When he looked up, he saw Shi Mo staring at the watch on his wrist.

Assistant Yu said, "This was just given to me by Madam."

Shi Mo's expression was difficult to discern and he waved his hand to dismiss the man.

After Assistant Yu had left, Shi Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Mo'er.

"Madam, how many other people have you given this watch to?" Even Assistant Yu had one.

He had thought that Fang Mo'er had only bought it for him.

Could it be that everyone who knew Fang Mo'er had one?

Fang Mo'er rubbed her nose and smiled. "How could that be? I specially chose your piece a long time ago. The rest were just randomly picked later!"

"Oh, is that so? Madam, come over here for a moment!"

Fang Mo'er felt that Shi Mo's behavior was a bit unfathomable, so she did not know if he was angry or not.

Hence, she had no choice but to walk over slowly.

However, the moment she got closer, Shi Mo pulled her by the waist and pressed her against the table. Then, he placed his hands on either side of her. He lowered his head and looked down at her. "Who else did you give it to? Tell me."

Fang Mo'er gulped and quickly mentioned a few of the safer names. "One for Fang Han, one for my father, and one for my brother."

The man leaned even closer, and she could feel his hot breath on her. It was as if he was staring at his prey, not giving her any chance to struggle. "Who else?"

Fang Mo'er licked her lips. "I even sent one to Little Tian before I came. I also gave one to Lang Qi, since he helped me previously. And of course, to Manager Shen…"

The list of people kept on growing.

Fang Mo'er had bought more than twenty watches in a row, so she had basically given them to everyone she had interacted with.

Then, because Lang Qi had been showing it off in the WeChat group, Fang Mo'er had said that everyone in the group would each get one as well. She had even asked for their addresses and arranged for the packages to be delivered.

Since the group was filled with important people in the entertainment industry, it would be good for her to gain some favor with them. Perhaps in the future, they would be able to help a newcomer like her.

Shi Mo silently counted in his head. Fang Mo'er had sent gifts all over the world before finally coming to give him his gift.

This was a real surprise.

"Then, does Mu Chen have one?" Shi Mo asked again.

Fang Mo'er hurriedly shook her head. "Of course not! That person is very evil. Of course, I hate him."

Only then did the jealousy in Shi Mo's eyes recede a little.

However, there were still some issues that bothered him.

It seemed that in his wife's heart, he was ranked too low.

"How do you think I should punish you?" Shi Mo's voice was neither high nor low, falling right into her ears.

Fang Mo'er's face was bitter. "I was wrong. Next time, I'll give priority…"

"It's too late!" Shi Mo snorted and pressed her down onto the table with one hand.

Suddenly, he reached out to undo the buttons on her body.

Fang Mo'er was flustered. "Hubby, this place isn't suitable!"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it!"

Shi Mo bent over and lowered his head to nuzzle the softness of her chest.

Fang Mo'er shuddered and quickly pushed him away in a hoarse voice, "The people outside will hear you!"

Did Shi Mo really want to do this in… the office?

However, Shi Mo did not mind. "So what if they hear us? After all, you're my wife. This isn't unusual between a husband and his wife!"

He said this on purpose, but in reality, the soundproofing in this office was very good.

Nothing could be heard on the outside.

However, Fang Mo'er did not know that.

She pleaded, "Let's go home first…"

"It's too late!"

Just then, Fang Mo'er felt something hot pressing against the same spot on the lower part of her body.

It was rubbing against her body.

Fang Mo'er's mind went blank. Shame and fear lingered in her heart at the same time.

She was worried that Assistant Yu would suddenly push the door open and enter the room. If he saw the scene in the room, her reputation would be ruined.

How would she be able to appear in front of Shi Mo in such a carefree manner in the future?

Even the people outside would say that the President was in the office with his little wife, having sex during the day.

Wouldn't that make her a vixen?

Fang Mo'er's mind was spinning, but she could not stop Shi Mo's relentless advances

Soon her clothes were removed, and her skirt was pushed up to her waist.

---

Shi Mo could not help but kiss her on the lips when he saw how seductive she was. "Relax!"

However, she did not dare to relax at all and pleaded with him, "No!"

"Hey, I lied to you just now. The soundproofing here is actually very good!"

Fang Mo'er was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, she felt a foreign object grinding against her body.

Shi Mo asked in a hoarse voice, "Can I?"

In reality, he was not feeling too good either. He had only wanted to punish her by taking off her clothes and then helping her put them back on again.

However, he seemed to have overestimated his willpower.

When he saw how seductively attractive her confused look was, when he saw the worried, deer-in-the-headlights look in her eyes, his blood surged and he suddenly wanted to overwhelm her here.

That was why he did not stop. It was because he had already come this far.

The arrow was already on the bowstring, taut and ready to be fired at any moment. He could not stop.

Although Fang Mo'er was relieved at his revelation, she still felt very ashamed at doing this in this place.

However, both of their emotions had already reached a high level.

Since she could not reject him, she clung to his chest and encircled her arms around his neck, pulling him even closer.

It was this action that brought the man even closer, causing both parts of their lower bodies that had been rubbing against each other to suddenly press tightly together.

Fang Mo'er let out an impatient moan and tilted her head, revealing her beautiful neck.

Shi Mo could not help himself from rampaging inside her.

The whole office was filled with the sound of their passion.

Fortunately, the people outside did not know what was happening inside. Even though people continued to come and go, no one felt that anything was amiss.

Assistant Yu stood guard outside the door, not allowing anyone to disturb the President.

Even if something happened, he would knock on the door first.

In this office, the only person who dared to open Shi Mo's door without prior warning was Fang Mo'er.

The documents on the office desk were now scattered all over the floor.

As Fang Mo'er lay on the table, she thought to herself that since the situation had already come so far, it was better to end it quickly so that no one would see her.

Hence, she suddenly took the initiative and looked at him in ecstasy. She moaned, giving him an inviting look.

Shi Mo thought to himself, "What a charming little vixen she is!"

The urge to press her even closer to his body and completely merge himself with her was strong.

Hence, his thrusts became faster and faster.

Fang Mo'er was still new to marital relations, so she was not used to this kind of provocation.

She quickly wanted to back away and started to sob uncontrollably.

"Please be gentle… Ouch, my waist, I can't take it anymore."

She did not know that men had no resistance to these words.

The more her waist twisted around, the harder it was for the man to hold on to her.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Shi Mo almost suspected that she had done it on purpose, but the expression on her face showed that she was clearly innocent and clueless.

He then laid his body on top of her, his lower body pinning her in place so that she would not move.

However, his speed was getting faster and faster.

Fang Mo'er felt like she was at his mercy and could only endure it passively.

She started to whimper and cried out.

The strange feeling of desire grew stronger and stronger, which caused her to become wetter and wetter down below.

It was as if she was fervently and thirstily yearning for something, boiling and clamoring.

The next thing she knew, the man seemed to have won the battle, having inserted what he possessed into the other party's camp.

Unfortunately, they were separated by a condom.

Only then did the battle come to an end.

Fang Mo'er was exhausted, though the man was not any better.

He pulled himself out and studied Fang Mo'er's unguarded actions deeply. His Adam's apple bobbed again.

Something was making a comeback.

However, he could not allow Fang Mo'er to tire herself out. Her body was fragile and she would not be able to go through it a second time.

He picked her up and carried her to a bedroom that was connected to the office. He then placed her in the bathtub.

He then fetched a few items of her clothing and handed them to her.

"Wash up first! There's a bed outside for you to rest on!"

She was too tired.

He wasn't any better either.

After the two of them had finished washing up, Shi Mo embraced her as they lay on the bed in the bedroom, closing his eyes.

Then just like that, Fang Mo'er stayed in Shi Mo's office for the whole afternoon.

"Why are my clothes in your bedroom here?"

"When we got married, I had someone prepare them," Shi Mo said in a low voice. "Rest well, have a good sleep."

Assistant Yu waited outside for several hours but no one came out. He did not dare to enter and disturb them.

It was not until the sky had turned dark that the office door finally opened.

Shi Mo walked out in a neat outfit.

The office had been restored to its original state. The air freshener in the room was exceptionally strong.

Fang Mo'er came out like a good little wife. When she met Assistant Yu, she turned her face away guiltily and tried to cover it up by saying, "It's all my fault for involving my husband in a scene for an audition. I was so caught up in the moment that I lost track of time. Assistant Yu, I'm so sorry for making you wait."

Assistant Yu smiled and said, "This is my job, after all."

Fang Mo'er followed Shi Mo out and entered the private elevator. Shi Mo told his assistant to go home and rest before he got into the car and left with Fang Mo'er.

"Back to Xiangyuan Residence!" Shi Mo said to the driver.

---

That night, Fang Mo'er sat in the study, studying the script. She would only enter the set when all the other departments were ready.

That night, the production team of "Love Mist" had announced the names of the female lead and the second female lead on their official Weibo account.

The result was, of course, a shock to everyone.

"Could it be a mistake? Isn't Fang Mo'er a songwriter? Why is she acting?"

"What's even more ridiculous is that she's the female lead? How can a newcomer become the female lead?"

"I heard that Fang Mo'er left Creative Entertainment and is now a major shareholder of the company. Now, she has also become an actress. Is this how much she loves to hate? It's clear that she's taking revenge on Bai Rong."

"These two people are in the same production team, should they be fighting?"

Everyone knew that Fang Mo'er was so in love with Mu Chen, and now, she suddenly wanted to debut as an actress. Surely, she was just trying to compete with Bai Rong?

However, she was clearly a songwriter, yet she had chosen to go into a field that she was not good in.

Although everyone was impressed by Fang Mo'er's courage, they all felt that she was courting death!

When the movie was released, it would surely be a big disaster.

Hence, Fang Mo'er's good friends in the music industry sent her messages of sympathy.

That was probably because they wanted her to give up on this risky decision. The world of actors was too impetuous and the world of songwriting was safer.

Class 7's songwriting graduation group.

"Fang Mo'er, quickly, please show yourself. Even our teacher was angered by you and left the group. As the pride of our class, why did you give up on your songwriting career and change to acting?"

Fang Mo'er entered the group and saw that there was indeed a notification on the interface from earlier. It stated that their beloved Professor Sun had left the group.

Fang Mo'er said with a dumbfounded expression, "I didn't give up on my songwriting career. I can still write songs while I'm filming. One doesn't distract from the other. In fact, the change of environment will help to relax my brain. Perhaps I can even produce better songs!"

Fang Mo'er had spoken very grandly.

Since the start of the book, every time she had written a good song, the group would cheer enthusiastically.

This was because out of the original thirty classmates, only half of them were still composing songs.

This was an extremely tough industry.

Fang Mo'er was an elite among them and they considered her their idol. With the songs that Fang Mo'er wrote, she had always managed to enter the Top Three on the popular songs charts.

Some envied her, while others were jealous of her. However, no one could have imagined that Fang Mo'er would one day change careers.

Hearing Fang Mo'er's words today, her former classmates heaved a sigh of relief.

One of her classmates quickly said, "Then I'll explain the situation to the Professor."

After a while, Fang Mo'er saw another new message in the group chat.

[ The beloved Professor Sun has joined the group chat. ]

Professor Sun said, "It's alright, it's alright. Everyone, go back to your work."

Fang Mo'er, "…"

At the same time, many of the people who knew Fang Mo'er were also surprised.

For example, the colleagues in the Creative Entertainment songwriting department, and the other shareholders of the company.

When they saw this message, their first reaction was, "It's fake, right? How could Fang Mo'er be filming a movie?"

However, the name was obvious.

What was even more ridiculous was that Bai Rong, whom the company had been supporting, had only become the second female lead!

Hence, at the shareholders' meeting a few days later, Fang Mo'er's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

Everyone stared at Fang Mo'er as if they were at a zoo to see a rare animal.

Their eyes stared so hard that they seemed to bore holes into her.

A few people were discussing animatedly with each other nearby.

"Actually, Fang Mo'er is quite amazing. Not only is her songwriting amazing, but she even got the female lead role. She's really strong."

"Don't tell me you think it's because of her own strength? I heard from Bai Rong's assistant that Fang Mo'er is loaded. I guess you didn't know this but the biggest investor of that show is the Fang family. That's right, the biggest person in power in the Fang family is Fang Mo'er's father!"

"I understand, I understand, it's the power of the investor!"

Ordinary people like them did not have a big backer. They could not even imagine how glorious Fang Mo'er was.

All they could do was be envious.

At the previous shareholders' meeting, Bai Rong had said that she would show her strength. That was why the company had been willing to give her the most resources.

However, Bai Rong had only brought back a second female lead role.

It was clear how difficult Bai Rong's situation would be during this shareholders' meeting.

Fang Mo'er entered the elevator. However, when the elevator doors opened, she saw Mu Chen entering the elevator from another department.

Beside Mu Chen was Bai Rong, who was smiling brightly.

Bai Rong glanced at Fang Mo'er and held Mu Chen's arm provocatively, looking in very high spirits.

Fang Mo'er touched her chin. That couldn't be right. How could Bai Rong be so happy with the role of the second female lead?

When they reached the entrance of the meeting room, Bai Rong did not follow them into the meeting room due to the lesson she had learned the last time. She only sent a look at Fang Mo'er with a meaningful smile in her eyes.

Fang Mo'er had a feeling that Bai Rong had done something evil again.

---

The shareholders stared at Fang Mo'er as if they were looking at a monster.

One of the shareholders could not help but ask, "Why did Miss Fang suddenly go into acting?"

Fang Mo'er smiled. "I had nothing to do, so I just decided to try it out. I didn't expect to be chosen as the female lead. It was unexpected."

After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed. "Actually, it was quite easy to get the female lead role. As long as you have talent, it's fine. When you have the time, you should go and try it out. Maybe you could also get the male lead or the second male lead roles."

The shareholders were even more confused. Was it because the Fang family wanted to support her, so she was just playing around?

More importantly, Fang Mo'er had snatched away the role from the company's artiste.

When Mu Chen heard Fang Mo'er's words, he said with a cold face, "It's settled."

The manager began to report on the recent situation of the company's artistes.

Since there had been no resources available for the past few days, there was a female artiste who had received a lot of attention because she had sung the theme song from a variety show.

Bai Rong had also won the role of the second female lead in a TV drama.

At this point, everyone was giving Fang Mo'er strange looks.

After a round of reporting, Mu Chen continued to insist on his initial plan. "My proposal is the same as before. 70% of the company's resources will be used to pave the way for Bai Rong."

Before Fang Mo'er could say anything, the other shareholders showed their unhappiness. "But, she's only playing the second female lead. There's no need for the company to put so much effort into her alone."

Just then, Mu Chen knocked on the table. "Listen to me… What you don't know is that the Mu family has also invested in this movie. Moreover, most of the script will be revised. According to the new script, the roles of the first female lead and second female lead will be almost on par!"

Only then did Fang Mo'er raise her head to look at Mu Chen. Was this what they were relying on? They were going to use the Mu family's financial resources to support Bai Rong.

When the other shareholders heard this, they were all amazed. "In that case, Miss Bai's future seems to be brighter."

The Mu family was an important family and their strength was on par with the Fang family.

It was true that the Fang family wanted to support Fang Mo'er. However, if the Mu family wanted to support Bai Rong, then Bai Rong was indeed enough to be supported by the company.

This meant that both Fang Mo'er and Bai Rong were had the support of the investors.

Their future prospects would be limitless.

"If that's the case, then I have no objections!"

"I don't have any objections either."

Fang Mo'er had a strange expression on her face. Since Bai Rong's scenes had increased, that meant that the ones that had been cut would be hers.

To think that they would even be able to make the second female lead's scenes similar to the first female lead's.

Didn't they know that with this change, the originally perfect script would deviate?

Now, the scriptwriter had to adapt according to their wishes and the role of the second female lead might end up being glorified instead.

Fang Mo'er's heart was stifled and she felt disgusted.

"I believe that when the drama is broadcast, Bai Rong's fame will definitely spread and she won't lose to anyone!" Mu Chen aimed a meaningful look at Fang Mo'er.

The other shareholders nodded their heads.

They were also of the opinion that Fang Mo'er's acting skills would not be able to defeat Bai Rong.

She was sure to become a foil to Bai Rong.

Throughout the meeting, only Fang Mo'er was excluded. They were just short of discussing how to make the female lead completely invisible.

Fang Mo'er sneered. "Don't think too highly of yourself. Who knows who will become invisible?"

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Then, let's wait and see!"

"My advice is that everyone should not bet everything on the same person. After all, if Bai Rong fails to act or is crushed by someone else's acting skills, the company's investment will go down the drain again!" Fang Mo'er advised. After all, if the company lost money, they would lose their own money.

At least in the year-end dividends, she would want to see some profit, right?

Although the other shareholders heard Fang Mo'er words, they did not heed her.

They were blindly confident in the Mu family's support and felt that Bai Rong was lucky. She was sure to rise to a higher level in the future.

Shaking her head, Fang Mo'er left the meeting room.

Only then did she take out her phone to call Director Wang. As expected, when Director Wang heard Fang Mo'er enquiring about the script, he said, "That's right. I didn't have the time to inform you yet. Don't read the script for the next few days yet. The script is going to undergo a big change now, although the specific settings will not change much. When the new script is out, I will send it to you."

Fang Mo'er touched her chin. "So, I suppose the Mu family was the one who suggested the changes to the script?"

The director said, "There's no other way. The Mu family has invested a large amount of money now, which means that the script has to be even more perfect. It has to be modified! The other party has hired a few professional screenwriters, so there shouldn't be any major mistakes!"

Fang Mo'er pouted. "Alright then, just send it to me after it's confirmed."

The director continued, "Miss Fang, I already know about your relationship with Miss Bai. However, I don't care what happens on the outside, as long as you can act well."

"I understand!" Fang Mo'er nodded.

She put away her phone, feeling a wave of melancholy.

---

Very quickly, she found out that while the Fang family had spent 100 million in this movie, the Mu family had spent 110 million to become the biggest investor!

Fang Mo'er, "…"

She could finally understand Bai Rong's feelings when she had found out that the Fang family was the biggest investor. Her mood was now like a dog in Hell.

Fang Mo'er went to the Star Dream Era company.

She continued with her acting lessons.

Little Tian ran over and said to her, "Sister Fang, Manager Shen is looking for you!"

Yesterday, when Fang Mo'er had given Little Tian the watch, she had revealed her identity to her and informed her that she was about to be part of the drama show. She had told her to be prepared.

At the same time, Fang Mo'er had asked Little Tian to pass one of the other watches to Lang Qi.

However, Fang Mo'er had not expected that Lang Qi, who was wearing the new watch, would be in Shen Yue's office.

Lang Qi looked at Fang Mo'er in surprise, his expression was unfamiliar and distant.

Shen Yue said, "This is Fang Mo'er, the female lead in the movie and also an artiste in this company. As the male lead, you should take care of her in the future."

Fang Mo'er still had very little acting experience, so she was very respectful to Lang Qi. "Senior Lang, please advise me."

Lang Qi glanced at Little Tian who was beside Fang Mo'er. "Why is Little Tian here?"

Shen Yue said, "I've asked Little Tian to join Fang Mo'er's team. From now on, Little Tian will be her assistant."

Little Tian blinked her eyes.

Lang Qi frowned. "What about the Veiled Queen? Won't she be losing her assistant?"

He had only just received the Veiled Queen's watch, but in the blink of an eye, the Veiled Queen's assistant had been snatched away.

Initially, he had quite a good impression of Fang Mo'er. But now, it seemed that Fang Mo'er wasn't that nice. She had snatched someone else's assistant the moment she arrived.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "The Veiled Queen is currently in advanced studies and doesn't need an assistant."

Only then did Lang Qi put away the displeasure on his face. He extended his hand to Fang Mo'er and said, "Miss Fang, you can ask me if there's anything you don't know about acting!"

He had heard that Fang Mo'er had joined the cast through the investor's influence and had never learned acting before.

Lang Qi did not have much hope for this newbie actress who was going to be his partner.

A few days later, Fang Mo'er finally received the latest version of the script.

The moment she received the document, Fang Mo'er immediately dropped everything and ran into the lounge to read the script.

When she saw it, she immediately understood and muttered to herself, "My part has been deleted here!

"There are more scenes of the supporting actress suffering when she was young.

"And here, why has a thrilling action scene been added for me!?"

"That's too sinister. In the end, the female lead doesn't die but becomes a vegetable instead. Once the male lead realizes the importance of his sister, he stays by her side and doesn't get married. The female lead then leaves and goes far away!"

"Pfft!" Fang Mo'er spat out the mineral water in her mouth.

The other party had forcefully rewritten the script to turn the second female lead into the female lead.

This adaptation was too brilliant.

The script now justified a lot more and created a poignant feeling of unattainable love.

Fang Mo'er counted and discovered that in the whole movie, there were at least five parts where she was in danger. Things like escaping from the jaws of a tiger, falling into a trap, falling from a high altitude, and so on. Every time, she would escape because of the nimble movements of the female lead.

Bai Rong was trying to torture her to death.

No, she was dissatisfied!

Did she think that Fang Mo'er would not be able to film these scenes and would eventually retreat?

She was truly being underestimated. She definitely had to continue filming.

There were only three days to study the script and soon, it was time for the opening ceremony.

During the opening ceremony, not only were all the main actors present, even the two major investors had sent their representatives to attend.

Fang Han from the Fang family.

And Mu Ye from the Mu family.

A 200 million yuan investment was more than enough for a youth idol drama.

One after another, as the reporters present reported on the strong collaboration between the two big families, they could sense the tension that was like the smell of gunpowder in the air.

Bai Rong stood with the Mu family's young master, while Fang Mo'er stood with Fang Han.

Neither side was willing to look at the other.

Meanwhile, Lang Qi and the director were sandwiched in the middle.

The atmosphere was very strange and unharmonious.

The photos that were taken were even more bizarre. They were either rolling their eyes here or there.

However, the words that came out of their mouths were all the same as the official ones.

The Mu family said that they had invested in the show because it would very good to watch.

The Fang family also praised the Mu family for their good taste. Fang Mo'er's acting skills would definitely sell the film. The other party was sure to make a profit.

Bai Rong also said that she would humbly learn from the company's boss and hoped that Fang Mo'er could lead her to a higher position.

After the opening ceremony ended, they went their separate ways.

The Mu family's eldest young master, Mu Ye, was usually very busy. If not for the fact that the Mu family's old master had insisted that he come to the production team to support Bai Rong, he would not have been willing to come.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, Bai Wong was carrying the flesh and blood of the Mu family. The old master had even asked him to visit the set from time to time. He could not allow Bai Rong and her unborn child to suffer.

---

After the interview, Mu Ye told Bai Rong not to work too hard and quickly found an excuse to leave.

It could be considered as having completed his work for the day.

Bai Rong had no one to rely on, so she was naturally not in a good mood.

In the afternoon, while filming was going on, a big guy came to the set.

Fang Mo'er was putting on her makeup when she heard a commotion outside and quickly went out to see what was going on.

She saw that everyone was watching a tiger being led by a beast tamer.

The tiger looked well-trained and was as obedient as a tiger in a circus. It did not try to bite anyone and the beast tamer commanded it to sit there obediently, allowing others to watch.

Fang Mo'er even touched the tiger's fur and only then did she hear that it was because the script had been modified.

In the first scene of the plot, the male and female lead would meet when the female lead accidentally entered the backyard of the male lead. In the end, she would be chased by the tiger and almost bitten by it. Fortunately, the male lead would manage to save her in time just at the critical moment.

Little Tian said, "This is a tiger that the film crew went through a lot of trouble to hire. It only has three days of filming time. After these three days, this beast tamer will take the tiger to another country to participate in another performance."

Three days should be more than enough time, Fang Mo'er thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Bai Rong was not far away, looking at Fang Mo'er coldly.

Her assistant said, "Sister Bai, you managed to find a way to intentionally add such a scene. When Fang Mo'er is chased by the tiger, she will definitely be terrified. How will she still be able to remember to act? She will definitely become a big joke for the production team!"

Bai Rong also pursed her lips and smiled, "Tell her to overestimate herself and then just wait for her to make a fool of herself."

Although the tiger looked docile now, who knew whether it might really bite Fang Mo'er when it chased after her later?

After all, animals also had the instinct to hunt.

Once everything was ready, Fang Mo'er walked onto the set of the male lead's backyard.

She kept moving forward, not knowing that the tiger was sleeping soundly behind the rockery not far away.

It was not until Fang Mo'er accidentally stepped on a fallen tree branch that the tiger opened its eyes and slowly straightened its body. It bent down like it was hunting and walked forward.

Fang Mo'er's pupils suddenly contracted as she encountered the tiger.

The beast tamer had repeatedly said that the tiger would only follow his orders and would not really bite anyone.

However, now that she suddenly saw the tiger coming out from the bushes, her survival instinct still made her wary.

Suddenly, the tiger rushed towards Fang Mo'er and she ran away.

Just as she was about to dodge it, Fang Mo'er slipped and paused for a moment. She almost fell but managed to avoid it instead.

Fang Mo'er ran away with an uneasy expression on her face.

Bai Rong, who was watching the show, couldn't stop laughing. Seeing Fang Mo'er in such a sorry state and with the fear in her eyes, she felt relieved.

Little did she know was that Fang Mo'er was only acting.

In fact, she was very calm.

She ran towards the male lead.

Soon, Lang Qi appeared and shouted loudly.

The tiger had been instructed by the beast tamer, so as expected, it stopped where it was. It circled around and did not come back.

Lang Qi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he was actually very afraid of this tiger.

After seeing that the tiger was really obedient, he dared to continue his performance. "Why did you come to my courtyard? If I had not appeared, it would have really bitten you to death."

The male lead gave the female lead a fierce look.

Finally, he slowly walked towards the tiger.

According to the script, Lang Qi was to stretch out his hand and caress the tiger's fur to calm it down.

After that, the tiger would return to the place where it had been sleeping.

However, with every step closer that Lang Qi took to the tiger, his heart would tremble.

He was simply unable to show that calm and composed appearance that was required.

"Cut!" Director Wang immediately shouted, "Lang Qi, you can't keep staring at the tiger. You have to relax a little!"

Due to Lang Qi's mistake, Fang Mo'er had to do it all over again.

The first scene used a single shot from start to finish.

Once again, Fang Mo'er fled when the tiger pounced.

Nearby, Bai Rong and her assistant were hugging their shoulders. All that was left was to watch the show as they munched on melon seeds.

The assistant said, "Sister Bai, look at how Fang Mo'er is pissing her pants. It's so funny! I think she will have a nightmare tonight!"

However, Bai Rong could not smile anymore.

Because this time, Fang Mo'er's movements were exactly the same as before. The timing seemed to have been calculated. Just as the tiger was about to catch up to her, she would continue to escape.

It was as if she was deliberately trying to maintain her nervousness.

"That's not right. She's just pretending to be nervous!" Bai Rong gritted her teeth and stared at Fang Mo'er.

This time, she was even more certain that Fang Mo'er was indeed pretending. Each look of worry and caution in her eyes was exactly the same as before. Even her movements had not changed.

---

Everyone else was worried about the tiger. Even Director Wang was worried that the tiger would lose control.

Only Bai Rong and the assistant were watching Fang Mo'er.

This was how they realize that Fang Mo'er was not behaving normally.

"It can't be. The tiger is chasing after her. Who wouldn't be afraid? How could Fang Mo'er still be acting?" The assistant could not believe it.

However, that was the truth.

This time, Lang Qi walked towards the tiger once again.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and pretended to be calm on the surface. Finally, he walked to the tiger's side.

Fortunately, the tiger was very docile and did not move.

Lang Qi reached his hand out to stroke its fur.

The beast tamer made a hand gesture and the tiger turned around and walked towards the back of the rockery.

Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

As Lang Qi heaved a sigh of relief, he quickly continued with his next move. He turned around and walked in the direction that the female lead had left.

"Stop!" He shouted.

However, the female lead had already turned the corner and disappeared.

Lang Qi frowned.

At this moment, the director shouted, "Cut! This scene is over."

All the staff members quickly went to comfort Fang Mo'er who seemed to have broken out in a cold sweat.

"Miss Fang, please have some water to soothe your breath!" One of the staff members quickly handed Fang Mo'er a bottle of water and noticed that Fang Mo'er's forehead was covered in sweat.

Fang Mo'er took the bottle and unscrewed it as she calmly walked towards the director.

The director gently said to Fang Mo'er, "Your performance was very good. Please have a seat and take a rest first. We'll shoot someone else's scenes next!" The director thought that Fang Mo'er had genuinely been flustered and had not just been acting. It just so happened to coincide with the mood of the female lead, so they managed to get a good shot.

After all, even Lang Qi had made a mistake due to fear. Fang Mo'er had not made a mistake, but that must have just been a coincidence.

Bai Rong walked forward and heard the director say to her, "Bai Rong, the next scene is yours!"

The next scene was of the second female lead feeding the tiger in the yard. She would be very close to the tiger.

The second female lead's character would insist on raising the tiger, so the male lead would have no choice but to buy it for her. Thus, the second female lead completely doted on the tiger.

The director wanted the second female lead to have a great visual impact the moment she appeared.

She would appear to be a very kind and sweet girl, but one who was very close to the tiger as she fed it like a kitten.

This would leave an unusual impression on people.

Bai Rong looked in front of her and felt relieved after seeing that the tiger was indeed very obedient.

She walked to the tiger's side.

She waited for the camera to turn on.

Her gaze fell on Fang Mo'er, with a seriousness in her eyes. She wanted to do the same, and perform without making any mistakes.

"Begin!"

Following the director's order, Bai Rong took the food and threw it at the white tiger. She smiled sweetly as she threw it.

The moment the tiger saw the food, it immediately pounced on it and began to bite.

It was a palm-sized, raw chicken drumstick. The moment the tiger smelled the blood, its eyes lit up. After eating it, it immediately looked excitedly at the rest of the food in Bai Rong's hands.

Bai Rong was also unnerved by its stare, but she still threw out another drumstick.

The tiger pounced again, and Bai Rong immediately let out a soft laugh.

After all the food had been eaten, Bai Rong turned around and left.

The plot should have ended here, but the tiger suddenly followed Bai Rong and walked over to her.

Bai Rong saw the frightened expressions on everyone's faces and quickly turned around. When she saw that the tiger had deviated from the original plot, she screamed in fear and ran away.

The moment Bai Rong ran, the tiger started to chase after her.

Instantly, the scene was in chaos.

The tiger only chased after Bai Rong, probably due to the blood in her hands.

When Bai Rong saw that Fang Mo'er was nearby, she immediately gritted her teeth and ran towards Fang Mo'er.

If she had to suffer, she would drag Fang Mo'er along.

Fang Mo'er quickly stood up from the chair. In a split second, Bai Rong grabbed Fang Mo'er and was about to push her behind her, but she was kicked aside by Fang Mo'er.

When Fang Mo'er saw the tiger about to pounce on her, she hurriedly threw the roast chicken that was on the nearby table.

Bai Rong groaned and fell to the ground, but the white tiger chased after the roast chicken and began to nibble on it.

The beast tamer also came running up to her and explained, "It hasn't eaten anything for an entire day, so it got a little excited when it smelled the blood."

The beast tamer apologized to the production team, his forehead full of sweat.

Bai Rong's foot had hit the table and was bruised. She was being supported by her assistant as she walked. When she passed by Fang Mo'er, Bai Rong glared at her. "Fang Mo'er, how could you push me?"

"If I didn't push you, were you going to pull me to be fed to the tiger?" Fang Mo'er's expression darkened.

Bai Rong quickly said, "Nonsense, I didn't think that."

"Then, why did you pull me just now? Were you going to pull me along to run with you?" Fang Mo'er sneered.

Bai Rong felt guilty and did not say anything.

---

Bai Rong bit her lip. She had only reached out to Fang Mo'er with no real ill intentions at all.

Fang Mo'er could not be bothered to argue with her.

The director called for the film crew's doctor and quickly sent Bai Rong to the room to get her wounds checked out.

The two lead actors were in shock, so it seemed that today's filming would have to end here for today.

Lang Qi walked to Fang Mo'er's side and asked, "You weren't scared just now, were you?"

Fang Mo'er shrugged. "Who wouldn't be scared with such a huge tiger charging at us? It's just that the more dangerous it is, the more we have to remain rational."

If she was like Bai Rong, who only knew how to run away, she would only become the hunted.

Instead, she had preemptively tried to find a way to lure the tiger away.

Lang Qi looked at her in admiration.

Fang Mo'er's reaction just now was very surprising.

"It looks like we won't be able to continue shooting today. Why don't we go through the scenes together first?" Lang Qi suggested.

"Sure." Fang Mo'er followed Lang Qi to a corner and took the script out.

The script had been changed too hastily, so even Fang Mo'er herself had not completely digested the entire plot yet.

The two of them had very serious attitudes when it came to their actin. Thus, they soon immersed themselves in a small world of their own.

Mu Chen rushed to the venue.

In the infirmary, Bai Rong was already teary-eyed. The moment she saw Mu Chen, her tears fell even more violently.

The accompanying doctor looked at Bai Rong in surprise. She had not had any reaction earlier, so why was she suddenly crying so badly?

Bai Rong's knee had only been bruised. There was not even a scratch on it.

All she needed to do was to apply some medicine on her knee and it would be fine in a few days.

However, with her crying, her knees, which were covered with a layer of ointment, looked exceptionally serious in Mu Chen's eyes.

"How did she get hurt like this?"

"Sob… Fang Mo'er accidentally pushed me, so…"

When Mu Chen heard that Fang Mo'er was responsible, he was furious.

He had known that Fang Mo'er would seek revenge on Bai Rong in the production team.

However, Bai Rong was pregnant. How could Fang Mo'er have been so heartless?

Just as Mu Chen had entered, he had seen Fang Mo'er chatting and laughing with an actor under a tree. At that time, she had been smiling so happily.

"I'll go and settle the score with her," Mu Chen said.

"Brother Chen, forget it. We're all in the same production team. We still have to work together in the future. It's best if we don't make things too difficult."

Bai Rong acted as if she was trying to be considerate of the bigger picture. This made the man feel even more protective.

"Rong 'er, why are you so kind?"

"Brother Chen, the situation was complicated at that time. At the time, a tiger was chasing after me. Fang Mo'er suddenly pushed me. She would definitely say that it was for my own good," Bai Rong said aggrievedly.

Mu Chen's veins bulged when he heard that. However, it was just as Bai Rong had said. If he went to cause trouble for Fang Mo'er right now, he would only be blamed.

That night.

Fang Mo'er returned to the hotel that the production team had arranged for her to rest. The whole hotel had been booked by the production team.

When she returned to her room, Fang Mo'er had just washed up when she discovered that there was news about the production team on the Internet.

"Love Mist film crew, Bai Rong Narrowly Escapes From the Tiger's Mouth."

In the photo, there was a scene of Bai Rong feeding the tiger herself and the tiger suddenly chasing after Bai Rong. There was also a photo of Bai Rong's knee being smeared with ointment.

The whole article was about how Bai Rong was so dedicated to her work that she had not used a stand-in, but decided to face the tiger herself.

When the netizens saw the scene of the tiger chasing the artiste, they were shocked too.

Many people were impressed by Bai Rong's courage.

"She's really very dedicated!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't even dare to get close to the tiger!"

"Such a dangerous scene should be shot with a stunt double. This actress is working so hard."

Fang Mo'er was amazed.

Bai Rong really knew how to hype things up. No one in the film crew was using a stunt double. However, she made it sound as if she was the only one who was not using one.

Bai Rong was not the only one who had been chased by a tiger.

Fang Mo'er had been chased by a tiger twice in a row but had not said anything.

She had really learned something.

Once an actor entered a production, their popularity would slowly lessen since they were not involved in any other activities.

At this time, the actors would need to find ways to maintain their own popularity and appear in the public's view from time to time. Whether it was to hype things up or to gain popularity, they could not allow the audience to forget about them.

This was also something that the production team was happy to see.

When the actors in the production team were popular, the rest of the production would follow and not be forgotten by the audience.

Once the filming was done, the audience would be more active in buying movie tickets.

Therefore, Bai Rong's wave of hype did not only hype up her popularity, but also helped promote the production. It was a good thing for the entire production.

Fang Mo'er did not mind it.

Suddenly, she received a video call.

Fang Mo'er glanced at it and immediately smiled. After picking it up, she saw Shi Mo's extremely handsome face on the other end.

---

Shi Mo was in the study room of the Xiangyuan residence. He was dressed in pajamas, a row of bookshelves behind him.

Beneath the light, his whole face was clearly illuminated, making it look holy and bright.

Shi Mo glanced at her and realized that she was safe and sound. He then asked, "I heard that there was a tiger on your set today?"

"Yes, someone was chased by a tiger until her face turned pale." Fang Mo'er smiled.

Shi Mo's expression changed. "What about you?"

Fang Mo'er was momentarily stunned. "I'm not afraid of a tiger! I had two encounters with a tiger today, and both times were very stable."

"I'll get the production to delete the scenes with the tiger. It's too dangerous."

"That won't do. I've already filmed the scenes with the tiger. Tomorrow, I'll wait to see how Bai Rong will act with the tiger. I'm looking forward to it." She quickly stopped him.

Shi Mo was clearly relieved. "Don't do such dangerous things next time."

Fang Mo'er felt uncomfortable. She did not even dare to let Shi Mo read the newly revised script. There were still many more dangerous things that she had to do.

Climbing trees, falling off horses, and climbing rooftops… This wasn't a young adult movie, it had already become a thrilling action movie.

However, Fang Mo'er did not dare to say anything, in case Shi Mo would not allow her to film this movie.

The film had already been set for the Spring Festival and would be released in three months. It was too late to change the script now.

Shi Mo saw that her script was still on the table at the side and could not help but frown. "You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you?"

Fang Mo'er shook her head.

At this moment, the doorbell rang from outside.

Fang Mo'er stood up and walked out. She saw the waiter pushing several dishes in. "Miss Fang, your food is ready."

"But, I didn't order anything."

Fang Mo'er was still in a daze when she heard Shi Mo'er say in the video call, "I ordered it."

The waiter pushed the dishes in and respectfully left.

Fang Mo'er sniffed, the tantalizing smell teased her nose and made her suddenly feel hungry.

"Hubby, you're so sweet!" Fang Mo'er gulped.

Shi Mo said, "You went all by yourself to such a faraway place for your film shoot. I can't be by your side at all times. I can't be there for everything."

This time, the filming location was in Shanghai City, which happened to be the territory of the Fang and Mu families.

It was still quite a distance from the Capital.

Fang Mo'er chewed on her food slowly as she tried to maintain her elegance in front of Shi Mo. Shi Mo smiled and told her, "Just take your time to eat."

With that, he hung up the call.

Only then did Fang Mo'er wolf down her food. After she had eaten and drunk her fill, Fang Mo'er decided to go to the horse stables to help with the digestion of her food.

In the past few years, Fang Mo'er had taken the time to go to the horse stables to practice riding because the script needed footage of the female lead riding a horse.

Just as Fang Mo'er was about to leave, she received a call from Shen Yue.

"Someone has offered a large sum of money to invite the Veiled Queen to perform at a banquet. Coincidentally, the venue is in Shanghai City, close to where you are filming."

Fang Mo'er was surprised. "How much are they offering?"

Shen Yue, "Five million!"

"This person must be crazy." Fang Mo'er was surprised.

"It's a gathering for aristocrats in Shanghai City. They are quite generous. Just consider if you want to accept this event."

"Of course, I want to accept it." Fang Mo'er said without hesitation. She could get so much money just from singing a song. She loved doing things that would make her hand cramp from counting the money she earned.

"I'll send you the address and have Little Tian accompany you!"

The venue of the event would be a restaurant.

Fang Mo'er quickly prepared the Veiled Queen's clothes.

Only then did she bring Little Tian out with her.

In the restaurant, Fang Mo'er was taken backstage to prepare.

Little Tian went out to make some inquiries before coming back. "Sister Fang, I heard that this is a gathering has been organized by the Mu family. Apparently, they are intending on making an announcement and have invited many socialites from the industry to attend."

What was the Mu family going to announce with so much fanfare?

Fang Mo'er made a vague guess. Why else would Mu Chen have suddenly appeared in Shanghai City today?

Could it be that he was here for the banquet as well?

Before Fang Mo'er could think any further, they were already calling Fang Mo'er out to perform.

Little Tian intended on following them, but she was stopped by someone. They said that there were too many important guests in attendance and those who had not been invited could not go over there.

"Then, wait for me backstage."

'Wasn't it just a song?' So, Fang Mo'er said, "I'll be back very soon."

Soon, Fang Mo'er, who was wearing a veil, appeared on the stage.

Below, several attractive people were toasting as they talked.

As the music started playing, everyone turned their attention to Fang Mo'er.

Fang Mo'er saw that Mu Chen and Bai Rong seemed to be special guests.

Someone addressed Mu Chen as Third Master Mu.

It seemed that the Mu family had already announced Mu Chen's identity in advance.

The other two young masters of the Mu family and the eldest daughter of the Mu family were also present.

It looked like they had now completely acknowledged their relationship.

Fang Mo'er had no intention of getting involved with them. Her only thought was to leave after she had finished singing.

Below the stage, when they heard her beautiful voice, the lively guests suddenly quietened down.

The melodious singing echoed throughout the entire hall.

After Fang Mo'er had finished singing, a waiter came over and said, "Miss Bai invites you over for a drink."

---

Fang Mo'er looked up and saw that Bai Rong and Mu Chen were both looking at her at the same time.

Bai Rong had been defeated by the Veiled Queen on the stage previously. This time, she had intentionally asked the Mu family to invite her over.

On one hand, it was humiliating. But on the other hand, she wanted Fang Mo'er to see her and Mu Chen together, so that she could irritate Fang Mo'er.

Mu Chen only thought that the Veiled Queen's appearance here was just a coincidence.

Bai Rong, on the other hand, looked at Fang Mo'er provocatively. "Miss Veiled, we meet again."

Fang Mo'er smiled in reply. "Miss Bai."

Although the two of them maintained a polite expression on the surface, there was even a sense of distance between them.

Bai Rong smiled and said, "Today, brother Mu Chen has officially returned to the Mu family. Since it was such an important occasion, I was the one who asked someone to invite you over to sing. After all, everyone here is part of the nobility. An ordinary singer could not possibly grace such an important stage."

This sentence seemed to be a compliment to the other party, but in reality, what Bai Rong was saying to Fang Mo'er was, 'Look, Mu Chen is part of the nobility now. It's a pity that he's mine now. You, Fang Mo'er, can go and be filled with envy, jealousy, and regret."

Fang Mo'er raised her glass and smiled at Bai Rong. "Congratulations then. I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years and may you never be separated for the rest of your lives!"

Fang Mo'er's words stunned Bai Rong. She stared at Fang Mo'er, trying to see a hint of jealousy and embarrassment under the veil.

Unfortunately, because of the veil, she could not see anything.

Mu Chen did not recognize her at all and even thanked Fang Mo'er.

After Fang Mo'er had taken a sip of wine, she turned around to leave.

The expression on Bai Rong's not pleasant. She had not achieved her goal yet, so how could she be willing to let her leave just like that?

Fang Mo'er knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, so she hurriedly left.

Unexpectedly, however, someone suddenly pushed her from behind.

Fang Mo'er fell forward. The half-full glass of wine in her hand suddenly spilled all over the man in front of her.

There were cries of surprise from all around.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Fang Mo'er hurriedly apologized. When she turned around, she could not tell who had pushed her just now.

"Oh, my god! She's going to be in big trouble!"

"Young Master Mu's clothes are all wet."

Gasps could be heard from all around.

Only then did Fang Mo'er realize that the man with a gloomy expression was the Mu family's Young Master, Mu Ye.

"Did you think you could put this matter behind you with just an apology? Dream on!"

Mu Ye looked at Fang Mo'er coldly.

His chest was completely wet. This woman had embarrassed him so much on such an important occasion. She could not just let it go.

Fang Mo'er forced herself to calm down and looked at him through the veil. "Young Master Mu, why don't I compensate you with a piece of clothing?"

"Do I look like I would be lacking a piece of clothing?" Mu Ye sneered. "How about this? You drink three glasses of wine to atone for your wrongdoing, and I won't pursue the matter any further."

The waiter quickly filled up three large glasses with strong alcohol.

If Fang Mo'er drank even one glass, she would still collapse, what more if it was three glasses?

Wasn't he just trying to make life difficult for her?

She had not expected the Mu family to be so unreasonable.

Fang Mo'er's eyes flashed, and she quickly said, "Sure!"

As she said this, she reached for a glass of wine.

Off to the side, Bai Rong was looking on with an excited expression on her face.

When Fang Mo'er became drunk, she would then act crazily and embarrass herself. There would then be a good show to watch.

Fang Mo'er raised her head and took a few sips. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach in pain.

Mu Ye was stunned for a moment. "What's with the expression on your face? Are you trying to imply that my Mu family's wine is poisoned?"

Fang Mo'er shook her head, looking embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Young Master Mu, I suddenly have a personal emergency. Can you let me relieve myself first? I really can't hold it in anymore!"

Fang Mo'er held her stomach as her voice was stifled as well.

She looked extremely anxious, as if she was about to solve the problem on the spot.

Mu Ye hurriedly said, "Go quickly then!"

If the Veiled Queen really could not hold it in any longer, the entire banquet would be ruined by this woman.

It would be the Mu family who would be humiliated.

Fang Mo'er nodded her head in gratitude and ran towards the corridor with her head lowered.

She disappeared very quickly.

Mu Ye's expression relaxed and he couldn't help but snort, "How unlucky!"

When that woman returned, he would definitely punish her properly.

However, he waited and waited, but she did not return.

Fang Mo'er quickly sent a message to Little Tian, telling her to leave quickly.

The two of them met at the door.

"Sister, are you going back now?"

"Yes, hurry up." Fang Mo'er quickly took a taxi and left with her assistant.

She would not be so stupid as to go back and drink those three glasses of wine.

It was was best for her to run away.

Surely the dignified Young Master of the Mu family would not send someone after her just because of three glasses of wine.

After all, the nobility tended to forget things. So, she hoped that they would forget about her.

Meanwhile, at the venue of the banquet, many people had completely forgotten about the Veiled Queen by now.

Only Bai Rong and the Young Master of the Mu family actually waited for a while.

"Where is she?" Mu Ye sent someone to check on her. When that person returned, he shook his head. "She's not here anymore!"

Mu Ye sneered. "She'd better not fall into my hands in the future."

He also hurriedly changed his clothes. When he returned to the banquet, he immediately walked in the direction of his brothers.

Mu Chen, this illegitimate child, was now publicly acknowledged by the Mu family.

Mu Chen's entertainment company had the support of the Mu family. The profile of their whole company had risen, and even the stock price had risen greatly.

---

Fang Mo'er returned to the hotel that had been arranged by the film crew.

Shen Yue quickly transferred a sum of money over. The other side had fulfilled their agreement and paid the money.

Fang Mo'er felt much more at ease. The Young Master of the Mu family probably would not hold a grudge against an unimportant woman like her.

Only then did she realize that the news of the Mu family announcing Mu Chen's identity was all over the Internet.

Fang Mo'er quickly opened the stock page and realized that the stock price of Creative Entertainment had risen by quite a bit.

Since Fang Mo'er owned 20% of the company's shares, she thought happily, 'It's rising and now my wallet has increased in size again.'

She intended on waiting until Creative Entertainment's stock price was about to fall before she sold all the shares.

Then, she would become a rich lady.

Fang Mo'er was still in the company group chat. As everyone was celebrating, she said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

The entire group suddenly fell silent.

The next day.

When Fang Mo'er arrived at the set, she realized that Bai Rong had a stunt double with her.

The stunt double was about the same height as Bai Rong. When the shoot started, Bai Rong sat at the side and watched. Only the stunt double was left to feed the tiger.

This was a person who had just used her professional dedication to create hype a few days ago to show that she had not used a stunt double. However, here she was now, using a stunt double openly.

Fang Mo'er could not help but admire Bai Rong's shamelessness.

Fang Mo'er walked over and patted Bai Rong on the back. She sat beside her and said, "Miss Bai, are you suffering from a psychological trauma? You must have been scared out of your wits. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suddenly gone back on your word."

In the face of Fang Mo'er's sarcasm, sneered, "Speaking of going back on your word makes me think of a person that I know. Last night, the Veiled Queen agreed to have three glasses of wine at a cocktail party, but she suddenly needed to relieve herself and ran away. Do you think this person is a coward?"

The Veiled Queen herself blinked in response.

Little Tian was also stunned as she looked at Fang Mo'er in surprise.

Something was wrong with the tiger today, as it was refusing to cooperate.

The stunt double was completely terrified as the tiger continued to stare intensely at the people around.

No matter how the beast tamer tried to appease it, his efforts proved to be useless.

So, even though it was just a simple scene, it took a whole morning just to film it.

Fang Mo'er was bored from waiting, so she sat at the side to discuss the plot with Lang Qi.

The director suddenly said, "Miss Fang, our movie still lacks a theme song. Do you think you could write one?"

The director knew that Fang Mo'er was a songwriter, so he smiled and said, "When the time comes, if you compose and sing it yourself, I think that would be a great idea!"

Only then did Bai Rong send a look of hatred Fang Mo'er's way.

She had almost forgotten that Fang Mo'er was still the nominal female lead in the movie. When the time came, the theme song might even be sung by Fang Mo'er.

Bai Rong quickly smiled and said, "This theme song won't be that easy to write. How about this? Perhaps my company's arranger could participate in writing the song too. Director, what do you think? If Miss Fang doesn't have any inspiration and can't come up with a song, then at least we'll have an additional choice."

Director Wang smiled and said, "That's a good idea too!"

Fang Mo'er sneered, "Who says I don't have any inspiration? Director Wang, I can finish the arrangement today!"

Fang Mo'er had spoken so confidently, but Bai Rong did not believe her. "Being in such a rush, I'm afraid that it would only be half-finished."

However, by the afternoon, Fang Mo'er actually produced a piece of music.

"Director Wang, I've finished writing it!"

"So quickly?" Director Wang had worked with many composers before, and all of them had needed at least a few days to compose. Some even needed a month to produce a perfect piece.

He had never seen a piece that could be completed in just half a day.

Lang Qi and Bai Rong came over.

Lang Qi was a little surprised. "Let me take a look."

Lang Qi looked at the arrangement and his expression froze.

"Could it be that she didn't even get the words right?" Bai Rong scoffed.

Fang Mo'er had been too much of a show-off. She had only taken half a day to produce the piece and had been in such a hurry to get it done. Surely, that meant that the quality of the piece was not that good.

Lang Qi raised his head stiffly and gave Fang Mo'er a strange look. Then, he said, "Director Wang, take a look for yourself."

He was so shocked that he could not describe his current mood with words.

Was Fang Mo'er a devil?

Director Wang also took it. After looking at it, he fell silent.

Bai Rong was still trying to recommend asking her company's songwriter to help with the arrangement.

However, Director Wang said, "There's no need. I'm very satisfied with this arrangement!"

"Director Wang, we can't be so casual. We should still strive for perfection."

Fang Mo'er smiled and said, "Miss Bai, how about this? If you can come up with something more suitable than my song within a week, then I will have nothing more to say."

"Alright!" Bai Rong took the arrangement and looked at it. The more she looked at it, the darker her expression became.

Why was this arrangement so perfect?

Even if she was given half a month, much less a week, the other songwriters might not be able to come up with a more suitable arrangement.

Bai Rong smiled awkwardly. "It seems that Miss Fang must have prepared it in advance. Since Director Wang is satisfied, then it's fine."

What was the point in making a comparison? Fang Mo'er had clearly come prepared.

She had probably been thinking about the theme song for a long time and was now only pretending otherwise.

---

In the afternoon, Bai Rong continued to film her scenes with the tiger.

That meant that Fang Mo'er's scenes had to be postponed.

Shen Yue called Fang Mo'er and said, "Miss Fang, there are suddenly many live events being held by many companies today. They are inviting you to give a live performance."

Fang Mo'er was puzzled. What was going on?

It turned out that several socialites had been amazed by the Veiled Queen's performance at the banquet the previous day. They intended on following the Mu family's example to invite singers to perform live. That would also help them improve their reputation.

Moreover, since the Mu family had invited this singer before, it would show that they also had good taste if other people invited them as well.

Therefore, many socialites had decided to invite the Veiled Queen to their own events.

Shen Yue did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You're walking the high-end route now. We won't be able to allow you to go to any random event now. This definitely is not a downgrade! If you weren't filming right now, I would have arranged for you to appear in variety shows!"

Fang Mo'er pouted. "Sister Shen, could I ask you, how much are they offering to pay?"

Shen Yue replied, "None of their offers are higher than the Mu family. There was 300,000 yuan, 500,000 yuan, and the highest bid was 1 million yuan."

The Mu family had paid 5 million yuan. After deducting half of the company's share, Fang Mo'er could earn 2.5 million yuan.

Now, Fang Mo'er's appetite for money had been a little spoiled. "This is too low. How about this, Sister Shen? I happen to be free this afternoon. Why don't you get them to make a bid and the highest bidder will get it!"

Sister Shen, "…"

Shen Yue had not expected the dignified young miss of the Fang family to be so short of money.

Not long after, Fang Mo'er prepared a bidding software.

Very soon, one of the people who wanted to invite Fang Mo'er to sing entered the competition.

The starting bid was five million, but in the end, someone had actually bid ten million!

Ten million was a sky-high price!

Who knew which spendthrift would be so extravagant?

Sister Shen quickly contacted Fang Mo'er. "Miss Fang, this is from a horse farm that opened this afternoon. The winning bidder is from the Yun family. The Young Master of the Yun family tries to emulate everything the Mu family does. This time, he's willing to pay a huge price just to let you sing a song live!"

"Alright, give me the address and I'll go over then! Oh, and by the way, Sister Shen, remember to spread the price of my event. Not just anyone can invite me now. My current price is very high!"

Sister Shen: "…"

This time, the client directly transferred the full amount of money to her, to show their complete sincerity.

Very quickly, the news that the performance of the Veiled Queen's song had been hyped up to a sky-high price of 10 million, had spread on the Internet.

"Isn't this too ridiculous? 10 million is even more profitable than filming!"

"I heard that it's true. A while ago, at the Mu family's banquet, they even spent 5 million to invite her to sing!"

"Oh my god, I've never seen such a valuable singer. Her voice must be made of gold!"

"I'm afraid it's even more expensive than gold!"

"Sister Veiled is too amazing!"

"I heard that this time, it's for the opening of a horse farm business. The Yun family will be spending 10 million to invite the Veiled Queen to sing a song!"

"Can we go and watch?"

"That won't do. The event is by invitation only. One person per invitation. Ordinary people won't be able to attend!"

On the other side, Bai Rong, who was in the middle of filming, almost blew her top. Her singing remuneration was nowhere near as high as Fang Mo'er's.

Bai Rong had deliberately spread the news and invited many businesses to invite Fang Mo'er, with the intention of lowering her standards.

She never would've guessed that she would actually help Fang Mo'er boost her popularity instead.

Bai Rong was so angry that she quickly made a call. "You can't allow anyone to invite the Veiled Queen to sing again!"

The other party smiled bitterly. "We would like to invite her with the intention of humiliating her, but we can't afford it!"

Bai Rong, "…"

This time, after the previous incident, Little Tian had stayed by Fang Mo'er's side the entire time.

In the main hall of the horse farm, many socialites had already arrived.

The Young Master of the Yun family was by Mu Ye's side.

Mu Ye raised his eyebrows as he spotted the figure singing on the stage.

Wasn't this the singer who had escaped yesterday?

Today, he had actually bumped into her again.

Young Master Yun said, "Young Master Mu, I heard that you like to listen to this singer's songs, so I specially invited her over!"

Mu Ye sneered, "Well done!"

Through her veil, Fang Mo'er could see the figure that was surrounded by people below the stage. It was really a narrow road for enemies.

She silently deduced that she had to leave as soon as she finished singing.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

"It's really very good to listen to!"

"Encore, encore!"

Fang Mo'er waved at the crowd and left the stage.

As expected, she was stopped by the waiters.

The two waiters said forcefully, "Miss Veiled, Young Master Mu has requested your presence!"

When Little Tian saw this, she anxiously followed, "Sister, it can't be that the other party wants revenge, right?"

"Don't worry, in this kind of situation, Young Master Mu would still care about his own reputation, so he won't bring up the past!" Fang Mo'er quickly comforted her.

"We meet again!" Mu Ye said, as his sharp gaze landed on Fang Mo'er.

Fang Mo'er replied, "Young Master Ye, let me give you a toast. I still have something to do later, so I won't be able to accompany you. Everyone, please have fun!"

Fang Mo'er gave a flattering smile. As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand.
