Chapter 2466: Setting a Name (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To her, like any girls on the fringe of showbiz, she did not dream of holding any track record or receiving any work under her name. All she hoped for was to catch the eye of a rich man with her looks and the seduction skills acquired from her modeling trade. With some good luck, marrying into a wealthy family would be a dream come true, but such instances were few and far between. To be frank, she was no different from a high-class prostitute.
She had always envied Yun Shishi, for the latter managed to become a professional artist and even got a chance to act alongside the superstar.
EASE had offered her some pretty attractive terms because the management was ambitious, too. They hoped that, through her, they could access some rare resources if they succeeded in the hype campaign with her, which could pave a way for them to truly enter the entertainment industry. They had been lacking in such opportunities right then.
The girl was not totally convinced, however; somehow, there was still a tinge of reservation inside her. Abashed at the thought of using such a lowly tactic to gain fame, she asked worriedly, “This doesn’t feel right, does it? Aren’t we making use of Xingze in this way?”
“Making use?” The men laughed. “Silly girl, this industry is all about making use of one another! We trample on each other all the time; who’s not making use of someone else at all? In the first place, you tried setting a name for yourself by making use of Yun Shishi, right? That’s why you went to reconstruct your face to look like hers; you want to ride on her glory; isn’t it so?”
Their words cut into her heart, leading her to hang her head in shame.
“Besides, I think the superstar likes you for him to be so good to you. You deserve something from him, anyway! After all, haven’t you slept with him?”
Li Xiang’er blushed even harder when she heard that.
Had she slept with him before?
It happened only thrice, and that was all.
Moreover, it was she who had blatantly stuck to him when he got drunk once. She was the one who could not wait to throw herself at him, and if she remembered correctly, they did not do it again after that.
When he needed her, all he wanted her to do was sit quietly beside him.
It was not that she did not try to seduce him. She had even tried on sexy lingerie, but that did not seem to work at all. Sometimes, he would ignore her when she went overboard and would not contact her for a prolonged period.
“Actually... I’m not that close to him... and our relationship... isn’t as s-suggestive as the way you described it...” she stammered along.
Her bosses digressed and continued with their persuasion. “Silly girl, do you know he is known to be sexually averse in our trade? There’s hardly any woman associated with him despite his long presence in showbiz. Any news about him with a girl only came about because those women tried to ride on his hype. He’s not a womanizer, so I think you’re his first; is that right? Do you know what this means? This means that the superstar holds some feelings for you! This means to say that you’re special in his heart! You’re special! If not, why did he bring you to the hotel openly despite the paparazzi? He let his guard down with you, so don’t tell me that you’re still doubting your importance in his heart?”
The young model’s heart started racing, and she allowed herself to feel that slight elation following their encouragement!
“I-I’m... special?!”
I’m special to him?! Is this for real?
All along, she had only seen their relationship as a transaction.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re special or not, does it? Since you’ve already slept with him, a gentleman like him will have enough gentry to give in to you, even just a little. No matter what, he’ll honor the fling you had with him!”
