As soon as Ji Niandong shut the door, he hurried to apologize to Qiao Anlu, "I’m sorry, Lu Lu, she’s still a kid, please don’t take it to heart!"
"A kid? How old is she?" Qiao Anlu’s face was filled with impatience.
After Ji Niandong finished speaking, Qiao Anlu sneered, "When I was 20, I was already learning to read people’s faces to survive in the entertainment industry, and you call her a kid? For Ada’s sake, I won’t pursue this further. Since we’re under the same agency, let me kindly warn you: don’t let an assistant offend someone and ruin your own future!"
With that, she lay back in the chair, closing her eyes to rest!
Ji Niandong didn’t make a sound, knowing full well that her words were indeed well-intentioned!
But outside the door, Shen Congling felt very uncomfortable listening, so she barged in and said, "What about me? Do you really think you’re all that? Reading faces to survive in the entertainment industry? Clearly, people gave you a chance because you have a big bust! Everyone knows how you rose to fame!"
When Qiao Anlu rose to popularity, there were many posts slandering her, claiming she got famous by flaunting her bust! It was said that it wasn’t the audience’s love for her figure, but rather catering to the tastes of old men!
As a bystander on the Tianya forums, Shen Congling knew very well and loved to stir up trouble, so naturally, she was outspoken!
Her outburst left Qiao Anlu wide awake, and she got up to walk towards Shen Congling.
Ji Niandong quickly blocked her path, "I’m sorry, I won’t let her appear in front of you anymore!"
"It’s been a long time since anyone dared provoke me. I actually admire her! Come over here!" She suddenly said, leaving Ji Niandong not knowing what to do.
Shen Congling instinctively took two steps back.
"I told you to come here, before I lose my temper!" Qiao Anlu added, clearly on the verge of losing her temper.
Shen Congling began to feel scared and quickly said, "I didn’t mean it that way, and it wasn’t me who said it; it was the Tianya crowd. Besides, you spoke about me first!"
She suddenly found her courage, "Yes, you spoke about me first, so why claim I offended people and affected Sister Tongtong’s career?"
Qiao Anlu was truly on the verge of losing control, she pushed Ji Niandong aside and charged at Shen Congling, grabbing her collar and pinning her against the wall.
Being significantly taller than Shen Congling, this move made Qiao Anlu even more domineering.
"Do you really think everyone in the entertainment industry is subjected to hidden rules? What about your Sister Tongtong?" She looked down at her, not smiling or angry, but her gaze was incredibly sharp.
Shen Congling shrank her shoulders, losing her confidence.
"And like you said, at least I have a bust and a face; what does she have compared to me? Doesn’t that mean she must have resorted to hidden rules to sit here? Little girl, you’re not that young anymore, you need to learn to discern right from wrong. Can you truly trust what the Tianya crowd says? They even claim my bust is fake, do you believe that?"
Shen Congling, filled with awkwardness and on the verge of tears, withdrew her hands and quickly said, "Sister Lu, I know I’m wrong!"
"It’s good you know you’re wrong!" She reached out and patted Shen Congling’s face, "People say that big busts come with no brains, but you’re without both bust and brains, and that’s truly pitiful. It’s not even worth arguing with you!"
She sighed, shook her head, and with a face full of pity, returned to her seat.
Xiao Kui breathed a sigh of relief; this outcome indicated she wouldn’t pursue the matter further. Lucky, very lucky!
