Chapter 1534: Chapter 1535: She Knows Fu Ya
For someone of Chu Xi’s stature to choose a television drama for her first role upon returning to the country seemed somewhat demeaning. He couldn’t understand why Chu Xi would actively propose to cameo in this drama.
“Is the press conference about to start?”
He answered politely, “No need to worry, there’s still time. Even if we’re running late, I’ll have them inform the media to wait a bit. Please come with me to the dressing room; our chief makeup artist is already waiting there.”
Chu Xi waved her hand, rejecting him, “No need for makeup. I’ll go on stage as I am.”
Levin quickly assessed her outfit, which together cost more than two hundred thousand, and swiftly responded, “That’s fine; I’ll have them inform the media. Please follow me, I’ll take you to the backstage first.”
“Okay.”
Anyone with eyes could see that she wasn’t in the best mood today. Ascended through observing others, Levin tactfully chatted with her for a moment and then led her to the backstage without further words.
Fu Ya, with her delicate makeup, was waiting backstage. Upon seeing her arrive, she eagerly went over, “Sister Chu Xi, long time no see, we meet again. I heard from my dad that you’ve returned. I wanted to schedule a meal with your assistant, but then I thought you might be busy right after returning, so I didn’t want to disturb you. This morning, Levin told me you would cameo in the drama. I was ecstatic! This way, we can work together. I absolutely must find a time when you’re free to show you around Capital City. I assume you haven’t had the chance to explore Capital City yet?”
“Not yet.”
Fu Ya held her arm, affectionately linking arms like sisters, and said enthusiastically, “No worries, I’ll take you around. I know Capital City well and promise to show you a great time!”
“It seems we haven’t met in almost a year. I’ve really missed you.”
Before entering the entertainment industry, Fu Ya was considered a wealthy second generation, and her father was one of the directors of the domestic entertainment giant KT Entertainment. With this connection, she had a smooth time studying abroad, frequently attending entertainment circles’ gatherings leveraging her family’s connections. She often uploaded her life moments on Instagram and blogs, with lots of photos with celebrities. Over time, she became a minor influencer with a considerable following on Instagram and her blog.
She met Chu Xi at an entertainment industry gala in Mema. At that time, Chu Xi had not yet starred in the film that brought her awards, she was just a rookie in the entertainment industry.
Their similar backgrounds made them moderately privileged beauties, with similar nationalities and small age differences. They shared many topics and chatted the whole night. After that, Fu Ya followed Chu Xi on Instagram, and later when Chu Xi became a sensation in Mema and participated in competitions on AQ, Fu Ya even flaunted their photos together on Instagram to gain attention.
Chu Xi patted her arm, her attitude lukewarm, “Here we are meeting again.”
Fu Ya engaged her in more conversation, while Xia Xue stood nearby, biting her lip hard. Underneath her soft appearance, a heart full of jealousy was about to explode.
Since Fu Ya smoothly got unbanned, Xia Xue’s days had been getting worse and worse. Fu Ya blamed her entire grudge from being benched on Xia Xue, often using various ways to torment her: sabotaging her resources, hiring internet trolls to smear her reputation… All the dirty tricks in entertainment were used on her, yet she couldn’t express her grievances. Her backer wasn’t as powerful as Fu Ya’s, leaving her no choice but to endure bullying silently.
