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 .
Well wishes?
You are thinking too much .
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…”
I don’t think that that is what this phrase meant, Lin Wenyue thought to himself . Our Boss Xu doesn’t have such an ambitious dream .
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 .
Coincidence?
Or is…
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: “…” You think that I can’t handle you!
