Chapter 63: Beg Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Compared to the power that the Lu Corporation had amassed over the years, it was a world of difference. She wanted to continue working in Shanghai. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The help that this company could provide her was really too little.
Moreover, Young Master Lu had promised her that as long as she did this thing well, she might even be able to rise like a phoenix!
She could almost see herself living the life of a rich wife. She had always wanted to marry into a rich family, and the Lu family was one of her goals.
It was just offending a small company. Perhaps after this, she could simply leave the industry.
To her, this was a rare opportunity and she had to grasp it tightly!
So, no matter what these people said, she would not start work! As for the compensation, with Young Master Lu around, what was she afraid of? It was just a small sum of money!
Although the Lu Corporation had a scandal recently, even after suffering a loss, a rich person would still be better off than an ordinary person. She just wanted to enter upper-class society quickly. No one would look down on her then.
“I advise you not to waste your breath. Once the time is up, I will leave by myself. Why don’t…”
She glanced disdainfully at the supporting cast who had already changed into their clothes. “You guys are shooting first? Ha, but I think you’ll laugh your heads off if you launch it, right? With your acting skills, you won’t be able to catch up with me for the rest of your life!”
A girl wearing a bun in the middle said angrily, “What are you talking about?! You’re the one who’s unwilling to start work now, not us! You’re willing to sell your reputation for some benefit. Are you willing to sell your soul for more money?”
As she spoke, she became increasingly angry. The one who made all sorts of requests was Shu Shengzi, and the one who made sarcastic remarks was also this person. “On what basis!?” she thought.
“Who do you think you are? You’re in the same industry. Do you think I haven’t heard shameful things about you? You failed to seduce someone. And you almost got banned!”
She seemed to want to attack again, but her companion grabbed her in time.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. If you hit her, you’ll have to pay her medical fees! This is not worth it!”
“That’s right! Don’t suffer a double loss. Our salary this time is so little. If something goes wrong and she’s hospitalized, won’t that make things worse?”
…
The words of the girl with the bun pierced Shu Shengzi’s heart. This matter was a dark history that she desperately wanted to bury.
Back then, in order to become a rich man’s wife, she impulsively got a rich young master drunk. Just as she was about to do the deed, that young master woke up next to her and threw her out of the hotel.
This matter happened to be captured by the paparazzi who were hiding in the dark. The angry young master from the wealthy family intercepted Shu Shengzi’s sources of revenue, almost forcing her to leave the industry.
Now that her popularity had finally risen a little, she did not expect to be exposed by an actor in a supporting role!
“I think you’re just jealous of me! You’re just jealous of me! That’s right, no matter what, my status is a hundred times higher than a small-time actor like you! Even with that incident, I can still be a female protagonist, and you’re nothing!”
Shu Shengzi sneered and said, “I’m sure that people like you won’t be able to afford an apartment even if you work as a walk-on for the rest of your life, right? Do you want me to introduce you to a few rich businessmen?! You look down on me, but the reality is, I look down on you!”
Her words infuriated the other supporting actors.
As if she did not notice the tense atmosphere at all, Shu Shengzi said, “A low-class person is a low-class person. After this matter is over, I’ll be a rich man’s wife! If you have the ability, don’t stop her! My face is very exquisite. It will cost you hundreds of thousands every time you smash it!”
All the crew that were present were enraged now.
“We are all humans. What right do you have to classify us? Aren’t we all doing our jobs?”
Wu Yong said with a black face, “This is not a place for you to behave atrociously! Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”
“Too far?”
Shu Shengzi sneered. “Do you think I’m willing to stay with you people? You’re lowering my net worth! If I weren’t satisfied with your fee, I wouldn’t have agreed to do this!”
It was the first time that Wu Yong met an artiste with such a bad personality. It was not that no actor had been dissatisfied with them in the past, but words like these were said secretly. To say them out loud like this, the person either had no EQ or was brainless.
Obviously, Shu Shengzi was both.
She did not understand the world of the upper class. Even ordinary families would not fancy a person like her, let alone wealthy families.
“Since you’ve agreed, I’ll have to trouble you to fulfill your promise. At least don’t make things too ugly!”
Shu Shengzi said disdainfully, “You’re just a small supervisor. What right do you have to order me around?!”
“What right? Because you’ve already signed a contract!”
Chu Jinyu walked in in her high heels and said coldly.
Shu Shengzi looked in the direction of the voice. When she saw that face, jealousy welled up in her heart. “Why is there someone more beautiful than me?!” she thought.
She said in an unpleasant tone, “And who are you? Don’t you know that idlers are prohibited here?”
Seeing this, Wu Yong stepped forward and said respectfully, “Boss.”
“Boss?”
No wonder Shu Shengzi found this person familiar. At first, she thought that she was a celebrity.
However, she still retorted, “From your tone, I thought I signed a deed to sell myself! I’m in a bad mood now. If you can make me happy, perhaps I’ll be kind and start work.”
If Chu Jinyu still could not tell that this person was messing with them, then her brain would have been wasted.
The most important thing now was to get to work, but looking at the other party, she probably would not budge. “What should I do?”
She racked her brains for a solution.
When Lu Ming, who was outside, saw this, he took out his phone and made a call. “Is it Ms. Zhu? Help me contact the actor who played Hermione in ‘Harry Potter’—Emma Stone.”

“Ms. Emma? Okay, please wait a moment.”
After a while, a string of numbers was sent to his phone. This was indeed a top management company. They were efficient.
Lu Ming quickly dialed a number. “Hello, I am the boss of Star Creation. Are you Ms. Emma Stone?”

When Emma, who was filming overseas, heard this self-introduction, she revealed a surprised expression. She did not expect that the boss of a top management company would call her personally one day!
Feeling flattered, she said, “Hello, I am. Is there anything I can help you with?”
If Star Creation really took a fancy to her, she would definitely reach a higher position! And her path to stardom would be smoother!
