1 Falling

"What is this!" A tall handsome man sitting behind the desk removed his glasses before smacking the photos he was holding at the man standing across him.

"President Liu I don't think....." Si Ning trailed off as the man's handsome face in front of him twisted in anger.

"Get out!" It was the last word Liu Zhicheng the CEO of Elite Entertainment company said to Si Ning.

Si Ning couldn't blame anyone but himself and he had been doing that since Chen An the Personal Assistant of Liu Zhicheng called him and told him someone sent Liu Zhicheng photos of him kissing a man in a club and not just any man but the scriptwriter Song Feng of the movie he would be starring at as the main lead's innocent loyal servant.

At that moment Si Ning's heart fell and he knew at once that was the end of him and the end of his love life of him dating Liu Zhicheng's cousin Liu Ting and all he could do was replay how his day went wrong and the twisted angry face of his Employer.

It was all planned out, of him just having drinks with Song Feng, and maybe he would be able to get the character of being the Crown Prince in the movie. The Crown Prince was a side character of the neighboring nation, the character had few lines which he would be able to study in few days and he thought with his outstanding looks and pretty face he should be able to portray the image well and his pretty face wasn't meant to play a mere servant in a movie.

When his manager Su Yi gave him the script and told him the details. Si Ning went mad and went straight to complain to Liu Zhicheng but he wasn't able to meet him and he had no choice but to call Liu Ting and purposely drop the hint of him not being satisfied with the role assigned to him. Liu Ting had to call Liu Zhicheng telling him to give Si Ning a better character by calling the Director to change his role.

All Liu Zhicheng did was call Si Ning to his office and told him if he doesn't want to play the character he would suggest another Actor to the Director which means Si Ning would end up with no role to play.

Si Ning doesn't know how he offended Liu Zhicheng but he always got the feeling that his Employer hates him.

It was five years ago Chen An approached him and told him they would love to be his agency since he had the height, physique, look of a star, and with his pretty face, he could become famous. Si Ning was only twenty and it wasn't the first time someone would approach him like that since he came back home but he was looking for a better offer.

When Chen An gave him his business card and he saw Elite Entertainment written boldly on it, his eyes widen since the Elite Entertainment company was one of the top three entertainment companies in the whole country. It was like winning a jackpot.

The next day he got dressed in his most expensive suit and went straight to the company. He had never thought of being a professional Model or Actor but he needed money.

Si Ning knew his mother doesn't have a high-paying job since his father died seven years ago, they had been struggling yet his mother still sent him abroad to study but what did he do? Si Ning wanted to make it big and squander all his tuition fees away in a casino, he wanted to win the lottery big since he was lazy and doesn't plan to work hard in the future.

All he wanted was a lot of money and when he had no dime left, he came back thinking since a lot of modeling companies approached him when he was in high school which he politely rejected them. He might still have the luck and Chen An approaching him with a friendly smile was the written in the star luck he had been looking for.

Si Ning met Liu Zhicheng the CEO of the Elite Entertainment Company during his interview who seemed excited to see him at first but his face gradually fell till it turned cold.

To be assigned a Manager and given roles he had to train first. Si Ning didn't put any effort into his training, always getting late to class with his aloof look and pose of an upcoming star. Looking down on his mates and after a year he signed a ten years contract with Elite Entertainment company.

It was already four years and he brought nothing other than misery to the company. He doesn't know how it happened but he kept screwing things up.

First, he was addicted to gambling, addicted to checking the entertainment news to check if he was trending, always acting reckless, and would not hesitate to retaliate on the netizens that insulted him on the net that Su Yi, his manager had no choice than to take charge in operating his Weibo account.

The total of the movies he acted in could be counted with his fingers and each one he didn't have many lines in them and others, the Directors had to make his character die or just appear a few times. It was his fault since one way or the other he would end up drunk and passed out in a club, be late to set, forget his lines, have a hangover then screw up.

Liu Zhicheng always covers all his acts up, him fighting at the club, him being angry and quarreling at an event, not keeping his image up, and sleeping with whoever seemed appealing to him.

It would be a lie to say all the online comments didn't get to him yet he was frustrated that he wasn't born rich, couldn't afford luxurious cars, buy a large house, and proudly return the key to his apartment and car which Liu Zhicheng gave him but he couldn't bring himself to change since he always felt a part of him was missing and it was a part he was searching for even though it seemed ridiculous.

The CEO of Qiu Entertainment company, Qiu Bai promised him a fortune just for him to accompany him to a dinner event and Si Ning fell for it. He took a drink, next he was laying on a bed and Qiu Bai was all over him. Liu Zhicheng had to burst the door open to save him and also deal with the newspapers that wrote that Si Ning was spotted at Qiu Bai's mansion.

Then he met Liu Ting, a year ago when he was only twenty-three, he fell in love, promised to change but yet he still ended up gambling, fighting with other uprising Actors, being jealous and angry when he became broke.

All he wanted was to just have a significant character and play an unforgettable role so his little sister Si Nan could point proudly at the television and boast to her friends and his mother could be proud of him for once which led him to invite Song Feng to the club and it was the other way round. It was Song Feng that grabbed and kissed him when he was drunk.
