I Am Really Rich - Chapter 6 - Doing Whatever I Want in the Entertainment Circle

Wang Xueru never imagined she would find herself in such a situation.

She wasn’t someone who feared much, nor did she care about appearances; good resources and money were what she truly desired.

Her visit to Shi Xing was driven by her own motives. Anyone who could casually mention “withdraw investment” was certainly not simple, perhaps even more challenging than Guan Tian, so it was essential to address the matter promptly.

For dealing with a rich woman, underhanded tactics were useless; direct confrontation was preferable, which is why she chose to approach Shi Xing directly.

But she expected to hear “I’ll pay you to leave Lin Yi,” not “I’ll pay you to stay.”

This cunning second lead was left speechless, murmuring a bewildered “Huh?” after Shi Xing’s proposal.

“What? Isn’t the offer tempting enough?” Shi Xing gently swirled her goblet of wine. “I can also secure the female lead role in Director Chen’s new drama for you. How about it?”

“Why would you…” Wang Xueru asked incredulously, “Are you trying to have me stir trouble between Lin Yi and Guan Tian, then compete with me…”

“You’ve got it wrong. I have no interest in him,” Shi Xing chuckled. “I know your interest in him is merely about his ‘resources’ and ‘wealth’.”

She sipped her wine and smiled, “So, this proposal isn’t a loss for you, is it?”

Wang Xueru pursed her lips, staring intently at Shi Xing, searching for any sign of deception.

But alas, the woman’s refined face remained composed and smiling.

“How do I know you’re telling the truth?”

A testament to her enduring battle prowess as a second lead; even with the resources and wealth she longed for right before her, she wouldn’t be easily fooled.

Shi Xing raised an eyebrow, picked up a check, and swiftly wrote down five million. She handed it over with a smile, “Consider it a deposit.”

Wang Xueru gazed at the check, seemingly unable to believe Shi Xing had so effortlessly handed over five million.

“I’ll follow up on the female lead role in ‘Green Plum’,” Shi Xing said, sipping her wine. “Any other questions?”

“Just one last question.”

“What is it?”

“Do you really not like Lin Yi?” Wang Xueru discreetly slipped the check into her bag. “If that’s the case, why do you want me to stir trouble between him and Guan Tian? What’s your real objective?”

“Stirring trouble is just because I’m bored. As for the objective, well, I have plenty of free time, so…”

She smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming, “I just want to see him fall from grace.”

Wang Xueru was taken aback.

Perhaps this is what it means to be a woman at the top?

She can casually give away millions, effortlessly secure roles from renowned directors, and even…

Her goal is “to see him fall from grace,” and she will undoubtedly achieve it.

Wang Xueru finally understood why Shi Xing could hand her a check without a word; she wasn’t afraid of her breaking the agreement. Because if she took the money and fled, then what awaited her…

Would likely be the same fate as Lin Yi and Guan Tian.

And she once thought of opposing such a woman?

Wang Xueru’s eyes darted around, quickly smiling as she stood up, “President Shi, right? I’ll definitely accomplish what you asked. Guan Tian and I are both with Huashi, and we have several projects together, so I’ll keep a close watch for you.”

“Good.” Shi Xing was quite satisfied. She lazily shifted her position, “Today’s conversation ends here. I’ll have a driver take you back.”

“Thank you, President Shi.”

Wang Xueru quickly waved goodbye and left the studio.

After taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something and turned back, “Oh, President Shi, I just recalled something. I witnessed it by chance, but I haven’t told anyone yet.”

Shi Xing raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”

“Guan Tian’s resources at Huashi used to be decent. Do you know why she was suddenly almost shelved?”

“Is there a hidden story?”

“During a company trip to Hawaii, I went out late at night wanting to visit a nightclub and saw Guan Tian wearing a transparent white camisole heading to the last room, but she was quickly turned away. That last room…”

Wang Xueru paused, “Was where our president was staying.”

Shi Xing’s hand paused slightly, looking at the goblet of wine with a smile, “I see.”

Wang Xueru nodded quickly, left the studio, and closed the door behind her.

“The pure little bunny Guan Tian, wearing a transparent nightgown, went to the president’s room and was turned away…” Shi Xing raised an eyebrow, “That’s quite a lot of information.”

[Host, only Wang Xueru knows about this; you’ve really hit the jackpot!] The System said excitedly, [I’m so thrilled, what should we do now?]

“Let’s pay a visit to Huashi.”

[Tomorrow is Monday. Do you need me to help you schedule an appointment with Huashi?]

“Monday?” Shi Xing paused, then laughed, “Since it’s Monday, there’s something important to do first-”

She stood up, gazing at the cityscape outside the floor-to-ceiling window, “Welcoming my new actor.”

A young man dressed in a white shirt, his tailored pants accentuating his straight, long legs, walked down the glass corridor.

He walked quickly, yet his footsteps were light. A perpetual smile graced his face, adding even more charm to his refined features.

He finally stopped at the end of the corridor, extending his slender, fair fingers to knock on the door.

“Come in.”

The young man smirked slightly, gently pushing the door open, “Sorry to interrupt.”

“You’ve come to report.”

Shi Xing placed the document back on the table, stood up, and slowly approached the young man.

She reached out, hooking his collar, pulling him closer. His refined features were breathtakingly close, exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

“My judgment was right,” Shi Xing smiled, “You’re quite handsome.”

“So is President Shi.”

“Hmm?”

Shi Xing had barely uttered the word when she felt her wrist grabbed. Before she could react, she found her waist being held.

Shi Xing was stunned, being pulled by the wrist, held by the waist, her whole world spinning-

The young man held her wrist with one hand, her waist with the other, pinning her against the large floor-to-ceiling window.

With her back against the cold glass, Shi Xing couldn’t help but exclaim, “What are you doing?”

“President Shi, you’ve teased me twice, and I haven’t retaliated once,” the man’s thin lips curved slightly, “Isn’t that a bit unfair?”
