  Xia Lian didn’t dare to not give him the money, but this was just the start. After getting the three million, the other party was still not satisfied and he would ask her for money occasionally.

  After a while, Xia Lian found out that something happened to the man too. He was kicked out of the organization and was just a weak person who might not even be able to win in a fight.

  However, she couldn’t do anything to him. He had evidence against her.

  That was her life.

  She didn’t dare to go against him.

  Under such threats, Xia Lian’s savings, which were already quite little, started to deplete even faster. As for the Xia family, her father would flare up in anger every time she went back. Even if her mother secretly gave her some money, it was not enough for her at all.

  In order to get a good role, she needed money to bribe people.

  Mother Xia gave her quite a lot of money, but when Xia Lian started asking for more, her mother couldn’t give it to her so quickly.

  In order to get a role, Xia Lian started mixing with different people and she really did manage to get two lead supporting roles.

  However, her stiff face appeared even stiffer on the screen so the audience did not like her.

  “Miss Xia, I’m sorry. There is already someone for this role.”


  “What?” Xia Lian was disbelieving. “Didn’t you inform me to come yesterday?”


  The other party was apologetic too. “We just received the news. Miss Xia, we are really sorry.”


  “You are deceiving me!” She put in so much effort to get this small role. How could she just watch someone else take it from her? “Did Mr. Zhou talk to you all?”


  “Miss Xia, we have not signed the contract.” The other party’s expression got dimmer. “This person was also recommended by Mr. Zhou.”


  Xia Lian felt as though she was struck by lightning.

  She would never think that her patron would be snatched away so quickly by someone else.

  In the next few days, no matter who Xia Lian met, they would either chase her away irritatedly or just not see her at all.

  “Miss Xia, it is…… Ancient & Modern Entertainment.” The agent’s expression was really bad. “They want to blacklist you.”


  “Xu Bei……” Hatred shot out of Xia Lian’s eyes. She was already in such a state. Why was she still targeting her?……

  [Xia Lian’s Hatred Points are full.]

  When Ming Shu received the notice from the Harmony System, she was attending the second-anniversary event for Ancient & Modern Entertainment. She smiled and finished her speech. Then, she walked down the stage slowly.

  As the gold ingot of the company, Lu Zhuo sat beside Ming Shu. Once she sat down, Lu Zhuo reached out and held her hand. He enclosed her hand in his.

  Ming Shu tilted her head and looked at him. There was a gentle smile in her eyes. Lu Zhuo revealed his cute little canine teeth.

  This scene was captured by the videographer and the live broadcast room exploded.

  The fans of the president and the wife fans of Lu Zhuo scolded each other on the screen until the entire screen was filled with red, bold, cursing words.

  President fans: This pretty boy Lu Zhuo is using our president to climb up the hierarchy. Shameless!

  Wife fans: Our husband is born to be a star. No matter where he is, he will be famous. Your president is the one that is shameless and keeps pestering our husband!

  President fans: Lu Zhuo kept spreading rumors online and used our president’s limelight. If it was not for our president, could he reach such a status? Who is the shameless one!

  Wife fans: Our husband blah blah blah……

  Ming Shu and Lu Zhuo were obviously not aware of these wars.

  “Let me answer a call.” Ming Shu leaned forward and spoke to Lu Zhuo.

  Lu Zhuo looked at her phone and let go of her hand after a moment. Ming Shu left from the front. Lu Zhuo’s gaze followed her till she disappeared. He then turned to look at the stage.

  “Boss Lin, is there any special meaning behind the name of the company?”


  Lin Wenyue took over the microphone and said slowly, “This name was personally given by Boss Xu. I am not sure about its meaning, but I saw four words in Boss Xu’s office so that might be where the name came from.”


  The host was curious. “So it was Boss Xu who gave the company its name. I thought that some master named the company. What are the four words?”


  Lin Wenyue smiled and said each word carefully: “Zhuo Gu Yu Jin.” It meant consider the past to decide on the present.

  The host had never heard of this phrase before and only received a command after a while. He gasped. “The meaning of this phrase is to look at the past and use it as a gauge to make decisions for the present. Boss Xu must have wanted Ancient & Modern Entertainment to go further and stronger. Seems like our Boss Xu is a very ambitious person……”


  Lin Wenyue thought to himself.

  The first word of the phrase……

  Lin Wenyue glanced at the auditorium below. Lu Zhuo was looking at the four words on the screen with a strange expression……

  After Miss finished her call, she asked the secretary to get her a serving of dessert. She wanted to finish the dessert before going back in. There was no way of knowing when the event would end so she needed to take care of herself.

  “Mister Lu.”


  The secretary greeted the person who was walking over.

  Ming Shu finished the last spoonful of dessert in one bite and threw it into the rubbish bin beside her.

  Lu Zhuo raised his chin like a pampered but reserved cat. “I want to have a chat with her.”


  The secretary smiled ambiguously and ran away hurriedly.

  At this time, everyone was in the auditorium. There was no one here. Lu Zhuo went up and pushed Ming Shu against the wall. He tasted her lips, which still had a bit of cream on them.

  The kiss was lingering and passionate. He seemed to be venting his love through it.

  There was no demanding. He was only giving.

  Only when they almost couldn’t breathe did Lu Zhuo peck her lips and pull away from her. His eyes were misty as he murmured, “I am starting to like you more.”


  Ming Shu felt that what he said was weird, but she still kept her smile. “Work hard to maintain it.”


  Lu Zhuo kissed her again and didn’t pester her about whether she liked him or not. This was really rare. “I will.”


  Lu Zhuo felt that he must be really crazy. He didn’t think about some of his words and they just came out of him instinctively.

  But, why would he like this crazy person?

  This was not in accord with his taste!

  Why must he lose himself because of a damn mission?

  He wanted to cry.

  He really wanted to cry.

  Lu Zhuo held Ming Shu’s hand as he walked back in despair. Once the event was over, he quietly packed his things and sent himself to Ming Shu’s apartment.

  “What are you doing?”


  Ming Shu and Lu Zhuo stared at each other in front of the apartment.

  “I am moving in to stay with you,” Lu Zhuo said confidently.

  “Why? This is my house!” Ming Shu blocked her door and didn’t allow him to come in. “Don’t you have a place to stay?”


  Lu Zhuo stared at Ming Shu. “But that place doesn’t have you.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  While Ming Shu was speechless, Lu Zhuo bent down and squeezed in from under her elbow. When he was done, he even blinked at her proudly.

  “Stop right there!”


  Lu Zhuo pulled his luggage and ran toward Ming Shu’s bedroom.

  He shouted as he ran: “You can’t chase me out. If you chase me out, the headlines tomorrow will be about you making me stay outside for one whole night. That is abuse!”


  Ming Shu: “.……”
