  In the evening, Xie Ming got ready for the shoot and wore a knee-length cream color dress. The dress was a little conservative and was perfect for this event.

  She looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath.

  " Let's go Xie Ming. You can do it." She said while looking at herself and smiled.

  Since the day she found out the possibility that Zhao Ming had gone to her world, she started to call herself as Xie Ming and not Zhao Ming.

  Since they have changed their places, then it's better to take their roles seriously.

  ….

  After an hour, she reached the set with Song Xiner where they were going to shoot the show.

  Even though it was not for a big platform and will be broadcasted live only on the internet, the set was properly arranged.

  There was a stage in the middle with two large couches in the center with a small coffee table in between.

  She pursed her lips as she could sense people giving her strange gazes. Even though she was invited here, she understood that they didn't think much of her.

  She pursed her lips and ignored their gazes for now.

  She was asked to go to the vanity to get her makeup fixed and when she entered the vanity, she met the host of the show.

  It was Ren Zheng.

  She greeted her but she ignored her as if she was non-existent. Xie Ming didn't say anything after that and focused on her makeup.

  After getting her makeup done, Xie Ming was asked to sit on the couch and do the final mic check.

  Xie Ming did as they instructed. She pursed her lips when Ren Zheng arrived on the stage and was dressed in a professional suit

  She was elegant and beautiful and made her understand why this show is popular among people these days.

  It was all because of Ren Zheng's charismatic aura.

  Just like in the vanity room, Ren Zheng didn't glance at Xie Ming and was busy checking her mic settings.

  Song Xiner who was standing in the corner, her hands started sweating as she felt nervous seeing the way Ren Zheng was treating Xie Ming.

  ' Is it really a good idea to make Xie Ming appear on this show?' she felt her heart beating uncontrollably seeing the whole situation.

  " Hello, everyone. Today we have a very 'prominent' guest on First Choice with us. That's right. It's Xie Ming. Let's give her a big applause." Ren Zheng said her opening line and introduced Xie Ming while looking into the camera

  Xie Ming smiled into the camera and was about to say her opening lines when Ren Zheng interrupted her.

  " Ms. Xie, I think we should skip the introduction part. After all, these days you're quite popular these days for various things." Ren Zheng smiled as she said her words.

  " Waaah……Ren Zheng has already started her attacks. I am excited."

  " I am sure this episode is going to be very interesting. There will be lots of revelations."

  People who were waiting for the broadcast started to comment as soon as the show started.

  It's been hardly 5 minutes since the show started but people already started commenting like crazy and there were at least more than 3000 viewers at this moment. And the show has just barely started yet.

  The director of the show was a little perplexed when Ren Zheng suddenly attacked Xie Ming without letting her do the introduction.

  However, what can he say? This show is popular only because of her and she knows this very well. That's why she does whatever she wants during the show and many times she doesn't even follow the script.

  Xie Ming smiled mildly and said," You're right. These days, I am quite popular all thanks to various things. So I also think that I don't need to introduce myself." Xie Ming turned to the camera and smiled.

  Ren Zheng raised her brows as she saw Xie Ming playing along with her. She didn't stop here and asked some questions about her being in the movie and her experience to start the interview.

  After a while, she threw her question which was not in the script, " Xie Ming as you know the entertainment industry is very competitive, and many people have to struggle a lot to get the opportunity which you easily got. Do you think it's only luck or is there any reason for it?"

  Ren Zheng asked suggestively as she looked at Xie Ming with a smile.

  Xie Ming understood her meaning very well. After that case, many people were doubting her casting and were making ridiculous stories about her getting this role through casting couch.

  And Ren Zheng was clearly referring to that. But her way of asking the question was clear that she believed in those rumors and just wanted her to spill the beans.

  Xie Ming didn't get nervous as they were expecting her to and said with a slight sigh, " I think I got lucky. The entertainment industry is something that was not even my first choice. I went to the Global World for the interview with the intention to work there but Tang Nian, the manager of the PR department suggested that I go for the auditions of Mr. Han's upcoming movie."

  " I don't know what she liked in me, but it was all because of her encouragement that I went there. I just went there because I really liked the story. However, I was also surprised when I got selected for the role. I wasn't expecting this a bit. So you can say that my luck played a great role in it.".

  " Until the day people see the movie, it will be hard to believe that I am talented. So for now, I will say that I got lucky that I got this role."

  " AH, I remember now. She and Jiang Yan are from the same company. But wasn't Global World very picky about choosing their artist? As far as I know, it's not easy to get into Global World."

  " I tried to dig more about Xie Ming and found out that earlier she has worked with many designers and also worked as their model when she was in university. Not only that, she has also worked for the great designer Xiang Yawen as her model. I don't know about acting, but I think she has some potential for designing and modeling since she has worked with some big shot designers and that too, she was only in university at that time."

  People started to discuss many things when they heard about the Global World. By now there was no mention of her company. But now when she mentioned it, people started to find more information about Xie Ming.

  Ren Zheng was surprised when she heard Xie Ming's words. The way she handled the question, really impressed her.

  Generally, actresses get nervous and start to stutter when they are asked about casting couch and such things because they don't want to talk about such a topic.

  Xie Ming said she got lucky because people will not believe that she is talented until they see the movie. She didn't deny about getting lucky and accepted it without hesitation.

  Ren Zheng pursed her lips and asked with a smile, " Xie Ming, have you seen the post about you which has gone viral on the internet? What do you think about it?"
