MOVIE CITY

Gong Xu was going to shoot the movie quite far away from the capital. The place they were going to film in was known as Movie City. It was just like Hollywood with a number o filming locations and studios.

Xiao Lu had given Ling Fen quite a bit of time off in order to nurse her wounds so she decided to go with him there.

Gong Xu did not have an agency which meant that he also didn't have a manager so Ling Fen was acting as his manager.

"Hurry up or else we are going to be late." Ling Fen hurried Gong Xu who was walking like a slug. The other simply shook his head, "Aren't you taking this managerial job way too seriously.

Ling Fen had even dubbed herself, 'Super Manager Fen'

Ling Fen looked at him in disdain and then helped him load the bag inside the car.

"Watch what you say or else ill break your bones," she warned. Gong Xu closed his mouth after that.

Song Yu hugged him while saying goodbye, "If anything happens, make sure to call, alright?"

She said worriedly while patting her back. The entertainment industry was vicious and toxic and to newcomers, it was especially unwelcoming.

"I will mom, take care of yourself," Gong Xu said while Song Yu simply nodded.

"Mum, don't worry about him, with his sharp mouth, who would dare bully him?" Ling Fen said while joining in on the hug.

The three of them laughed while hugging each other like this.

Once Gong Xu and Ling Fen had left, Song Yi entered the house while making a phone call, "Did you get what I asked you to?" she asked once the other picked up.

"Yes madam," the person answered and sent some files to Song Yu. She opened it and saw a video.

The video was from the hotel. How that man got his hands on such a video she had no idea but when she looked once, her eyes turned chilly.

She watched it from beginning to end and watched just how that unknown woman threw soup at her daughter. Her eyes hardened as she called the man once again, "Who is that woman who threw the soup at my daughter?"

Her tone was even chillier than her eyes. The man answered, "That is Mo Lingxi's daughter, Mo Yurou."

Song Yu laughed, "She has guts, we will deal with her later. As for now, send some people to watch over Gong Xu at the movie city."

The man did not understand why madam would keep such important evidence to use later but he did not ask. He only answered, "Okay madam," and then hung up the phone.

Song Yu sat in silence for a little while. She pieced together several pieces of information in her head. After a while, she stood up and exited the house, her lithe body disappearing in the dark of the night.

Gong Xu and Ling Fen arrived in the morning. Their bodies were tired as they pushed the bags toward the studios.

It was clearly still morning yet some fans had already gathered outside while holding shiny banners each with the name Xia Ming on them.

Xia Ming was the male lead of the movie Gong Xu was going to film. He was exceedingly popular and he had won many awards both locally and internationally. He had also starred in many foreign productions.

He was currently the most popular artist even after he had spent over ten years in the industry. Many people expected his popularity to dwindle but it was on the rise instead.

The reason many people loved Xia Ming was that he was extremely kind and his image was clean, without any scandals.

Ling Fen looked at the women and men who were shouting Xia Ming's name loudly. From in front of them, a man dressed simply walked out and went toward the fans. His steps were languid as he waved towards them with a lovely smile on his face.

He even approached some of them and took photos with them. This was the top star, Xia Ming.

Ling Fen could not help but nod her head at his behavior; this was how a star should act, she thought to herself.

She then looked at Gong Xu and shook her head disapprovingly. Gong Xu noticed the implication of her gaze. He could not help but complain, "Ling Fen, what is the meaning of this?"

Ling Fen's gaze was clear. In honesty, she wondered what Gong Xu would be like when he became famous. Just the thought of it made her shudder so she threw the thought away.

They walked inside without knowing which direction to go until Director Qiao Zilan walked out, face beaming,

"Xiao Xu, you are here!"
