44 Chapter 44

Indeed, Fu Xingran's popularity was due to Jiang Fei leading the way for her to meet an investor so she could win the female lead of the "Hot IP Youth Drama".

But it couldn't be denied that Fu Xingran really did dare to go all out. Even if Jiang Fei recommended her, she still might not be able to go through it and bagged the role.

Mu Chang snorted coldly when she heard that, "Trying to win? Doing well in an investor's bed? What kind of ability is that?! "

"…" said Ye Ci. "

Taking a deep breath, she finally didn't know how to reply. What Mu Chang said was not wrong. It was a private secret among the rookies in Golden Age.

The reason Fu Xingran was cast as the female lead was because she had climbed onto the bed of an investor.

Actually, Ye Ci had always thought that as a person in this circle, Mu Chang was also a "root of success" among the modern people. When looking at this kind of problem, her mind would be clearer than hers.

Fu Xingran had climbed onto the bed of an investor in order to get a role, but was this not considered rare in the entertainment circle? If you just stare at this detail, you can't help but limit your perspective on the problem to this point.

Fu Xingran was famous not only because she had climbed onto the investor's bed, but because she had acted as the heroine of the play. Not only had she performed well, but she had also put in all her effort to study the character and bring it back to life. At the very least, from the audience's feedback and Fu Xingran's current results, it could be seen that she acted well in the drama.

Although Ye Ci did not speak, sometimes silence was a silent disapproval. Mu Chang also realized this point and could not help but look at Ye Ci in surprise, "Really?!" You're not going to tell me that you don't think there's anything wrong with her doing that."

After saying that, Mu Chang's eyes seemed to recall something as she said with understanding, "No wonder you thought so. Didn't you also want to hug Li Lun's leg before? Even though you didn't succeed in the end."

Ye Ci frowned when she heard this. At this point, she could finally see clearly that Mu Chang's thoughts were really stuck at that point and she was not even willing to take an overall view of this matter.

"I don't agree, but I also don't think Fu Xingran became popular just because of what she did with the investor… After thinking, she was actually too embarrassed to speak directly.

"How laughable! How could she had the chance if it wasn't for her getting into the investor's bed? "If it wasn't for her having an investor to back her up, how would she dare to make things difficult for me so blatantly when we're both newbies?!"

"…" said Ye Ci. "

That was why she felt that Mu Chang was taking this too seriously... Even if there were no investors to back Fu Xingran up, with their current achievements, if the two of them were to fight to the death and go to the company's upper echelons, Mu Chang would still lose.

"Society is so snobbish, and this circle is no exception." The meaning of "heroes don't ask where they come from" had long since changed. It was just that she could understand this straightforward and cruel logic, but Mu Chang could not.

"Ye Ci, if you're given a chance, would you want to be popular at all costs?" It doesn't matter if you become a mistress?" Mu Chang's words were getting sharper and more aggressive.

Ye Ci was a bit irritated by her questioning. She could not understand why Mu Chang could not listen to the words of others calmly before rebutting them. Why did it have to be a tit-for-tat contest?

Also because of her irritation, Ye Ci didn't think twice before saying subconsciously, "I won't! It's because I would feel uneasy about this success, but I'm not going to criticize anyone for it."

"Besides, it's her business how she chooses, so why should I stand aside and say she's doing the wrong thing?"

Actually, she still wanted to say, even if it's you, didn't you just have a face lift? Wasn't a face lift for the sake of looking better and becoming popular?

Fortunately, she was able to control her strong desire to express herself. Even if she did not say this, Mu Chang's face was already extremely ugly.

The atmosphere had once been extremely awkward. Both of them were now certain of one thing – the fundamental problem lay in the differences in their values.

Just when Ye Ci wanted to change the topic and try to talk about something relaxed and pleasant, Mu Chang suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

Before she slammed the door again, she turned around and stared at Ye Ci with a cold gaze —

"I finally saw what kind of person you are. I advise you to stay away from Lu Chuan. If you dare to provoke him, you will definitely not have an easy time! "

After saying that, Mu Chang slammed the door and left without looking back …

"… …" said Ye Ci.

After a few seconds of silence, she finally exploded — directly throwing the pillow in her hand to the other side of the sofa. This was already the limit of what she could do when she lost her temper.

What the heck was this? She came to her house for a meal, said something weird and then was scolded like this?

What about basic manners? Did I just feed a dog?!

The more Ye Ci thought about it, the angrier she became. She gulped down a large cup of drink and was unable to quell her anger.

Other than anger, she also felt a little depressed. This depression stemmed from the suspicion she had after their dispute.

She admitted that she wasn't a warm-hearted person and that she didn't have any sense of responsibility for social justice, but she didn't say that Fu Xingran was right to do so.

But why did it turn out that she, Ye Ci, was also a person who would do anything to achieve her goals?

What the hell was that last line about staying away from Lu Chuan?! How did she get closer to Lu Chuan? Furthermore, even if she was close to him, it had nothing to do with her!

Just as she was unable to contain her anger, her cellphone at the side suddenly rang.

Ye Ci took it over and directly pressed the button to connect the call. She almost lost her mind as she opened her mouth and said something incomprehensible.

"Mu Chang told me to stay away from you, on what basis does she have to say that to me?!"

After a few seconds of silence, he asked uncertainly, "Who?"

After hearing his voice, the irritation in Ye Ci's heart lessened … It was as if she had finally welcomed rain after a long drought. She became surprisingly calm.

"... "I'm sorry."
