"Lingling, look at today's trending searches."

In a certain luxury apartment in city A, Ji Lingling was sitting on the sofa in a nightgown and a mask on her face, holding a thick script in her hand.

"Whose trending?"

Agent A walked over quickly, "Dou Xueqing."

Hearing this, Ji Lingling put down the script in her hand, "It's her." Ji Lingling responded lightly.

"It was rumored online that she was about to marry into a wealthy family." Sister A came to Ji Lingling and handed her the phone.

Ji Lingling glanced at her phone, and then she continued to read the script, "Marry as soon as you marry, what's so popular about this."

"This is the popularity. The director of the drama, she is your only competitor. You Gong Xingzhou is your winner. Now she has found someone to stir up the popularity. We have to pay attention to it."

Hearing Gong Xingzhou's name, Ji Lingling had a bit of displeasure on her face, "Sister A, I have nothing to do with him. There are rumors on the Internet, don't you know?"

"Clearly, of course I know. But with him here, he can provide you with free heat, isn't that a good thing?"

Ji Lingling pursed her lips, she put down the script, got up and went to the bathroom.

At the beginning, she was the one who was sorry for Gong Xingzhou. Over the years, she begged him for forgiveness many times. Not only did he not accept her forgiveness, but his elder sister also insulted her many times and suppressed her resources in the circle.

Although she has actresses, but in recent years, no serious works have sought her out.

Even the last time, when she attended a movie circle party, she was actually bullied by several new young actors. If Gong Xingzhou hadn't been there that time, she would have made a fool of herself.

The way Gong Xingzhou helped her was also photographed by the reporter, and the matter between her and Gong Xingzhou was revealed again.

Because of Gong Xingzhou's many fans, she was scolded one after another, and even sent wreaths to the company.

She endured all these silently. Now she has no works, no support from fans, and she has no strong capital.

But she also became popular again because of Gong Xingzhou. She was so red that she didn't show her face because she was scolded for being popular.

Those fans were nothing more than scolding her for rubbing Gong Xingzhou's popularity, and there was no bottom line in order to become famous.

Gong Xingzhou did not clarify the scandals about them on the Internet.

So a considerable number of fans think that they are together.

But only she knew that she had no contact with Gong Xingzhou in private, and even when she attended the event, she took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

People need face, trees need bark. She was sorry for Gong Xingzhou back then, and after she came back, she also expressed her affection to him many times, but he refused to accept it at all.

It doesn't matter, he apologized anyway, it's up to him to accept it or not.

Although, sometimes seeing him gossip with others makes her feel uncomfortable, but after so many years, she has gotten used to it.

This is probably mature.

"Lingling, you're not happy when Gong Xingzhou is mentioned. What's the matter, we now have a new endorsement and a new script based on Gong Xingzhou's popularity, you should be happy." Sister A He stood at the bathroom door and said to her.

Ji Lingling didn't say a word. Being in the entertainment circle, she really wanted to attract the attention of the stars, but now relying on the light of Gong Xingzhou, this made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Okay, don't be upset, you will participate in activities together in the afternoon. Don't forget, after lunch, I and the driver will pick you up."

"Well, I see."

In the afternoon, there was a commercial event for the brand. She and Gong Xingzhou were the spokespersons, as well as some newcomers who had just debuted. She and Gong Xingzhou were the main stars.

Their relationship was so lively on the Internet, who would have thought that they had no contact in private.

Sister A left. Ji Lingling finished packing, took out a protein bar from the refrigerator, and poured herself a glass of warm water. This was her lunch.

After eating, she took a short rest.

At one o'clock, Sister A and the driver picked her up to the event site.

After arriving, she was arranged in the same dressing room as other artists.

Ms. A said in a low voice, "The organizer is really unkind. You and Gong Xingzhou are both main cafes. He has a separate dressing room, but we don't."

Ji Lingling doesn't care much, it's good that she can participate in business activities now.

She said, "Sister A, one must be content."

Hearing this, Sister A spread her hands, "That's right, you are living a good life now. You don't have to rush to make announcements twenty hours a day like a few years ago, and we can be considered relaxed and at ease."

Ji Lingling smiled, and she was satisfied.

If she had had this mentality back then, she wouldn't have been suppressed by Gong Mingyue all the time.

At this time, two popular newcomers walked in. They were about twenty years old, and they were relaxed and beautifully dressed. They were now a popular newcomer group. Because their company is good at marketing, although their works are not many, they are famous and have a huge fan base.

Generally on the Internet, no one dares to criticize them, and the consequences of criticizing them range from being blasted on Weibo to being fleshed out at worst.

So the two of them were also very proud. Looking at such an "old senior" like Ji Lingling, they couldn't help but feel contemptuous.

Because Gong Xingzhou is the person they like, they also want to hype Gong Xingzhou, but now Ji Lingling has been dominating Gong Xingzhou, which makes them very unconvinced.

"In this industry, some people rely on real skills, some rely on resources, and some people just like vampires."

The two of them stood next to Ji Lingling, and said meaningfully.

Hearing what they said, Miss A couldn't help but frowned, "What are you doing? Your dressing table isn't here."

The girl glanced at Sister A, "How come some people are so thick-skinned, chasing after people to hype up on the Internet. Now a business event, but also crazy to follow, she can't be so incompetent."

Ji Lingling looked at the girl expressionlessly through the mirror.

"Sasha, what you said is not wrong at all. It's really shameless to rely on hype to survive at such an advanced age."

"Hehe, that's right. But she doesn't know it, she's still sitting here firmly."

At this time, Ji Lingling pushed away the hands of the makeup artist who was about to draw eyeliner.

Sister A didn't wait for Ji Lingling to speak, she spoke first, "Not long after I entered the circle, I thought I would commit the following offense, do you still understand the rules? Are you talking like this to your seniors?"

Sun Shasha put her arms around her chest, and she said to the little friend beside her, "Lili, did you see that? This is relying on the old to sell the old."

"You little girl, your words are really annoying. Didn't your company teach you etiquette?" Sister A was so angry that she was speechless. How could someone be so disregarding face? I like it, and no one dares to say it in person.

But they didn't care about that at all.

"Be smart, don't rely on hype, there is no work that can be sold, don't you feel ashamed?" Another girl, Song Lili, said.

Sister A was so angry that she wanted to beat someone up, why are they so ignorant of human affairs.

"Wait for you to win a decent award first, and then talk to me in this tone. Even if I'm out of breath now, but I have won an Oscar queen, what about you? What's there?" Ji Lingling said at this time.

As soon as she said this, the expressions of Sun Shasha and Song Lili became ugly.

"A hero doesn't mention his bravery!"

"Oh? Then you have to be brave first, let us see." Ji Lingling's tone was calm, but it was her attitude of flattery and humiliation that made people even more angry.

"you…"

"Gong Xingzhou is here!"

At this time, whoever shouted, everyone in the dressing room rushed to the door, and Sun Shasha took advantage of the situation to leave.

Ji Lingling looked at herself in the mirror, her face was calm. If she went back to three years ago, what would she do? He would definitely slap them in the face and block them.

Now she doesn't have the strength, and she doesn't have the spirit anymore, she just wants to do her job safely and steadily.

"Miss Ji, shall we continue?" the makeup artist asked.

"Aren't you going to see Gong Xingzhou?"

The makeup artist smiled shyly, "My work is not done yet."

Ji Lingling smiled, "Go ahead."

After a while, Gong Xingzhou came, and the noisy people were stopped outside.

Ji Lingling subconsciously looked back through the mirror, and when she saw it, her and Gong Xingzhou's gazes suddenly collided.

Ji Lingling withdrew her gaze calmly, and Gong Xingzhou only glanced at her, then followed her agent and the brand into her exclusive dressing room.

At this time, the person in charge of the brand came over, and he said to Sister A, "Are you Ji Lingling's manager?"

"Well, I am."

"Come here and communicate with you what needs to be paid attention to when doing activities later."

"okay."

Sister A patted Ji Lingling on the shoulder, and she said, "You put on your makeup first, and I'll go and listen."

"Um."

After all, Miss A left with the person in charge of the brand.

At this time, Sun Shasha and Song Lili passed by Ji Lingling again, and they snorted provocatively at Ji Lingling.

Ji Lingling ignored them, and at this moment the makeup artist couldn't help but said, "Miss Ji, don't pay attention to what they say, it's normal in this circle to step down and praise the high."

Ji Lingling smiled and agreed with her words.

After a while, Miss A came back happily.

"Lingling."

"Why are you so happy?" Ji Lingling asked with a smile.

"The brand has temporarily changed the theme of the event. You will be wearing a wedding dress and appearing on the stage with Gong Xingzhou on your arm."

"What?"

Ji Lingling immediately frowned, "Isn't it an ordinary event? Why did it change? Why didn't they notify us in advance?"

"We have notified in advance, so we can't postpone the event." Sister A is telling the truth. Given their current situation, if there is an invitation to an event, go there secretly.

Ji Lingling pursed her lips and said nothing, her face was full of displeasure.

"I heard that the planner of the brand is your fan. She admires you and Gong Xingzhou very much, so she temporarily changed the plan."

"What?" Ji Lingling turned around excitedly, the makeup artist almost touched her eyes.

Ji Lingling said helplessly, "How could they do this?"

If Gong Xingzhou finds out about this, he must think that she did it, and will do whatever it takes to get close to him.

"Why are you so angry? What's the matter? Let me tell you, tomorrow's trending topic must be us, and Dou Xueqing is no match." Sister A said with a smile, who would dislike free marketing.

"Confused!" Ji Lingling said very displeased, "Didn't he refuse? Wouldn't he refuse the brand's sudden change of mind?"

"No, I heard that Gong Xingzhou readily agreed."

She didn't believe it, Gong Xingzhou must have other reasons.

"Miss Ji, I'm done with makeup and I'm going to change into a wedding dress soon. Do you want to go to the bathroom first, or I'm afraid it will be inconvenient later." The makeup artist kindly reminded her.

"good."

Ji Lingling stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

"I'll accompany you."

"Need not."
