Chapter 1277: Gifting the Buddha Statue

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong were both public figures and were very famous, especially Ruan Shenglin. He had always been average-looking, but as he got older, he became famous for his acting skills, and won almost every award, big and small.

In recent years in particular, he entered the film industry and won the title of film emperor three years in a row. He also guaranteed box office sales for the films he starred in, and had monopolized almost all the top blockbuster spots for the last three years.

As long as he was the main lead, the film would do especially well at the box office.

Even if his films didn’t enter the top 5, they would still be in the top 10. Ruan Shenglin was in the limelight and had become an influential film emperor in the entertainment industry – who wouldn’t be envious?

People in the entertainment industry were even more envious of Xu Tong’s luck.

Xu Tong and Ruan Shenglin were ten years apart in age, and the difference in their looks was like heaven and earth. If Ruan Shenglin might be an emperor in terms of his acting, he just had passerby looks. He wasn’t ugly, but his looks were definitely worlds apart from Xu Tong’s.

Appearance was always the thing people paid attention to in the entertainment industry.

Back then, it had been very difficult for Ruan Shenglin, and no one thought much of him. For some reason, Xu Tong fell in love with Ruan Shenglin at first sight and pestered him non-stop. Later on, when the two got together, no one thought much of this couple, and just felt that it was like beauty and the beast.

Because she got into a relationship so soon, Xu Tong’s career crashed even if she wasn’t completely frozen out of the industry. Everyone who saw this back then sighed and said that it was a pity.

Xu Tong didn’t care, and was happy with Ruan Shenglin.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, Ruan Shenglin would become the most famous film emperor in the entertainment industry?

Not only that, Ruan Shenglin was also wholly devoted to Xu Tong. He had no scandals at all. It was also because of Ruan Shenglin’s current status that Xu Tong’s status in the entertainment industry also rose, making people envious and hateful.

Even Qin Qing couldn’t help but feel envious and hateful of Xu Tong!

The difference was huge!

After all, when she had been roommates with Xu Tong before, she had looked down on Ruan Shenglin the most. Moreover, Ruan Shenglin had actually shown interest in her back then, but she hadn’t taken him seriously at all. She had been disgusted, and had directly pushed him in Xu Tong’s direction.

Who would have thought that five or six years later, Ruan Shenglin would be so outstanding?

Of course, this didn’t mean that Qin Qing liked Ruan Shenglin. It was just that if she had known earlier that Ruan Shenglin had such potential, she would have led him on no matter what as a backup plan for herself.

Also, women were used to being vain. It felt very good for a man to like her, let alone a man who was successful and famous.

Qin Qing was filled with regret!

Speaking of which, Xu Tong and Qin Qing had an affinity of sorts. The two of them had come from the same talent show, and even joined the same agency after that and had the same manager. They could be considered to be good friends.

Suddenly recalling something, Xu Tong asked, “Ah Qing, are you alright?”

How could Qin Qing not know that she was referring to her ban and how public opinion had turned against her because of Chi Shuyan? That trending topic had dealt her a huge blow. Even now, her agency and manager didn’t dare arrange any work for her. Given her current situation, Qin Qing felt a little irritated when she looked at the happy smile of the woman in front of her. Her eyes flashed and she almost couldn’t squeeze out a smile. It was only when she thought of how she had latched onto Zhuang Yanru that she smiled a little more. She pursed her lips and pretended to be down. “It’s fine, I’m used to being slandered!”

Xu Tong wanted to say something, but hesitated. She had learned from Shenglin that not only had Qin Qing been slandered, she had also somehow offended some bigshot behind the scenes, so no one dared to give her work. Even if Xu Tong wanted to help, she felt powerless at that moment.

In the end, Xu Tong couldn’t help but ask, “Ah Qing, what on earth is going on? I heard about you earlier on and wanted to get Shenglin to help you, but I heard from him that the background of the person you offended… is too big!”

Xu Tong looked at Qin Qing as she spoke. Qin Qing’s face was extremely stiff at that moment, and the last trace of a smile on her face disappeared.

Speaking of which, Qin Qing still hoped that Ruan Shenglin could help her. She had always been ambitious when it came to her career. Before she came over, she had already had some thoughts. After listening to Xu Tong, Qin Qing’s heart itched even more.

Although she had latched onto Zhuang Yanru, there was really too little that the latter could do to help her right now. By the time Zhuang Yanru married into the Qi family, it would probably be too late. Qin Qing still felt a little anxious. Thinking of Xu Tong, who was easy to fool, she told her half the truth. “Actually, the person I offended is… President Qi!”

When Qin Qing said that, Xu Tong sucked in her breath and stared in disbelief. She was so shocked that she forgot to react as he stared blankly at Qin Qing.

Qin Qing took in Xu Tong’s expression and sighed. She lied through her teeth and twisted the truth. “I didn’t expect to… to actually offend President Qi of Qi Corporation. Speaking of which, it was my fault for being too unlucky. Tong Tong, you know that I always had a boyfriend who was especially good.”

At that point, Qin Qing paused. Xu Tong listened especially seriously. Hearing Qin Qing mention Feng Yuanlin, she thought of this person and nodded. Although she had only seen him a few times, Xu Tong had always been very envious, mainly because he was especially good to Qin Qing.

At that time, she had been filled with envy, and had made up her mind to find someone who was good to her in the future.

Qin Qing continued, “Later, President Qi’s new girlfriend took a fancy to my boyfriend and secretly hooked up with him. When I found out, I was furious. When I found out that the woman was President Qi’s new girlfriend, I found an opportunity to complain to President Qi. I didn’t expect that woman to be such a schemer and turn the tables on me. Later, she took revenge, and I was shut out by Qi Corporation. Forget it, it’s all in the past. I can’t be bothered to say any more!”

If Xu Tong’s attitude toward Qin Qing had been a little distant at first, her eyes now were filled with sympathy.

No wonder no one dared to give Qin Qing work now!

Xu Tong had always been soft-hearted. Knowing that Qin Qing had been banned like that, she felt even more sorry and wanted to help her. However, when she thought about how Qin Qing had offended President Qi of Qi Corporation, she couldn’t help her even if she wanted to. After all, although friends were important, they weren’t as important as a husband, right?

Qin Qing seemed to sense something and suddenly said inexplicably, “But I heard recently that it seems President Qi has dumped that fickle woman and gotten himself a fiancée of equal status!”

When she mentioned this, Qin Qing perked up. She curled her lip and said coldly and proudly, “I knew that woman would get her retribution sooner or later!”

Although Xu Tong was in the entertainment industry, Ruan Shenglin had always protected her, so she was quite a simple person. When she heard Qin Qing’s words, she firmly believed her and even felt relief for her. She had been worried that Qin Qing would implicate her husband, but since President Qi had broken up with that woman, Qi Corporation shouldn’t be ruthless toward Qin Qing.

Xu Tong gritted her teeth and suddenly said, “It seems that my Shenglin has a new movie in the works. If there’s a role suitable for you, I’ll recommend you to him!”

When Qin Qing heard this, she immediately smiled and held Xu Tong’s hand gratefully. “Tong Tong, you’re too good to me. I don’t know how to thank you!”

Xu Tong wasn’t used to Qin Qing’s enthusiasm and solicitousness. She said, “Don’t be happy too soon. It’s just a recommendation. If there aren’t any suitable roles for you, Ah Qing, you can’t blame me!”

Qin Qing was incomparably moved. She held Xu Tong’s hand and didn’t let go. “Tong Tong, how can I blame you? In our circle, when a person hits the bottom, it’s hard not to add fuel to the fire, let alone offer help. How can I blame you?”

Qin Qing thought of something, picked up the black Buddha pendant on the table, and handed it to Xu Tong. “Tong Tong, I specially asked for this Buddha pendant for you. That expert is especially godly and powerful. Keeping this Buddha pendant under your pillow will be especially good for you and the child!”
