Everyone speculated that it might be because Gu Xiangzhou wanted to take advantage of Lin Bingbing, who refused, leading Gu Xiangzhou to use his connections to blacklist her.
"Sister Liang, I'm scared," Wu Xiangli said, trembling with fear. After all, someone of Lin Bingbing's caliber had gone missing after provoking Gu Xiangzhou. For a small fry like her, if she caught Gu Xiangzhou's attention and resisted, she would likely end up in a dire situation.
"What are you afraid of? This is your opportunity. Lin Bingbing is ungrateful; being noticed by Young Master Gu is a blessing for her. If she could marry into the Gu Family, why would she still want to be a star?" Sister Liang said dismissively.
"Wu Xiangli, what’s your goal in entering the entertainment industry?" Sister Liang suddenly asked.
"Um, to become famous and make money, I guess," Wu Xiangli replied honestly.
"Currently, the most important thing for a star is popularity. If you have traffic, you can easily make money. But every year, thousands of young women like you graduate from film academies; the competition pressure is immense. If you want to become a top star, you need timing, location, and relationships—all three are essential. You’ll have to make some sacrifices," Sister Liang explained.
Wu Xiangli felt helpless and lowered her head in silence.
"You'll have to sacrifice your chastity. Among the girls I manage, you're the only one who hasn't lost hers yet. Sister Liang will teach you: first, catch Young Master Gu's attention and keep him intrigued. When he starts thinking about you constantly, then you can give him some benefits. But don’t give away your first time easily; at least wait until Young Master Gu has made you famous," Sister Liang shared her experience with Wu Xiangli. She naturally hoped that one of her newcomers could make a name for themselves because if Wu Xiangli or any of them became a top star, it would mean profit for her as well.
Though Wu Xiangli was reluctant, seeing Sister Liang so excited made it hard for her to refuse.
"Well, I’ll give it a try," Wu Xiangli said helplessly. Before deciding to enter the entertainment industry, she had already mentally prepared herself; some things she didn’t want to do but felt compelled to do—after all, this was the entertainment world where everyone had their own motives.
"Considering the time, Young Master Gu should be arriving soon. Let me take you to the restroom to touch up your makeup. Also, your evening gown can be lowered a bit; with your figure being so good, it should show a little skin—it’s more attractive that way," Sister Liang advised as she led Wu Xiangli to the restroom for a makeup touch-up and adjusted her evening gown.
While waiting for Gu Xiangzhou, Jiang Chen and Qin Xiaoya were also anticipating his arrival.
After some time, Gu Xiangzhou finally arrived fashionably late due to his prominent background; everyone had to wait for him.
As soon as he appeared, many young female stars flocked around him, and even some Little Fresh Meat tried to approach him in hopes of becoming friends.
Seeing Wu Xiangli still in a daze, Sister Liang quickly pulled her in front of Gu Xiangzhou. However, Sister Liang clearly overestimated Wu Xiangli's charm; Gu Xiangzhou merely glanced at her without showing much interest.
For Gu Xiangzhou to truly take notice of someone would require them to be a Peerless Beauty—something rare—or they would need an aura about them. Even if some First-Line Actresses weren’t as young or pretty as Wu Xiangli, their fame naturally drew attention.
Ignored by Gu Xiangzhou, Wu Xiangli secretly felt relieved while Sister Liang was unwilling to accept this outcome. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly pushed Wu Xiangli forward.
