The more Yang Mi thought about it, the more she felt she had guessed correctly!
Being alone and friendless in Canton City, the only person who could help her to this extent seemed to be Wang Chao.
Most importantly, right after she had discussed the matter with Wang Chao, someone came to help her. If it wasn't Wang Chao, then who could it be?
Thinking about this, she felt a sweet sensation in her heart. She took out the protective jade pendant that Wang Chao had given her, smiling radiantly and feeling blissful.
She picked up her phone, intending to send a message of gratitude to Wang Chao. However, what she ended up sending was a different message: "Wang Chao, are you free tonight? Let me treat you to dinner."
After sending it, she took the jade pendant that Wang Chao had given her and stuck it on her face. She took a beautiful selfie, logged into Weibo, and posted with the caption: "I've received the gift. Thank you, my dear. Love you!"
She added several heart emojis after the text.
After posting, she wore a contented smile and thought to herself, "I didn't expect Wang Chao to be so concerned about me. It seems that he has feelings for me too."
"This time, I must seize the opportunity and win him over!"
At that moment, her assistant walked over, extremely excited, and said, "Yang Mi, good news, good news!"
"What good news?" Yang Mi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Just now, the Zhao family's investment came through. The executive producer and producer of this drama are now members of the Zhao family. They specifically requested you to be the lead actress. Here's the new script."
The female assistant took out a script from her bag and handed it to Yang Mi, excitedly saying, "And, it's said that the male lead will also be replaced with Gu Yue, that famous actor with the surname Gu!"
"This time, you and he will have many romantic scenes, including many kissing scenes."
As the assistant mentioned the male actor with the surname Gu, her eyes sparkled.
This male actor was renowned in the entertainment industry for his handsomeness, good character, positive image, and gentle personality. He was the epitome of a perfect man in the hearts of many female stars.
Many female celebrities dreamed of filming kissing and bed scenes with Gu Yue. Moreover, Gu Yue had a strong following, and any female star who had worked with him would become hugely popular.
Therefore, when it was confirmed that the Zhao family wanted Gu Yue as the male lead, she was ecstatic and believed that Yang Mi would definitely become a sensation this time.
"Kissing scenes?"
Yang Mi's face changed, and she immediately picked up the script to take a look.
Indeed, apart from the challenges faced by the main characters in the script, there are also many emotional scenes, including at least thirty kissing scenes.
"Why are there so many kissing scenes?" Yang Mi frowned.
"The screenwriter has studied the rules of television dramas and movies, and it has been proven that the more kissing scenes you have with Gu Yue, the more popular you will become," the assistant explained.
Yang Mi's expression darkened, and she immediately returned the script, saying in a serious tone, "I can accept the other scenes, but not the kissing scenes. Go and tell the director to remove all the kissing scenes from the plot!"
"What? You don't want to film kissing scenes with Gu Yue? Yang Mi, are you serious?" the assistant exclaimed.
In the entertainment industry, countless female stars were eager to film kissing scenes with Gu Yue. Some even willingly reduced their fees to increase the number of kissing scenes.
However, Yang Mi refused. What was going on?
Yang Mi nodded with determination and said firmly, "Tell Director Mei to start drafting a statement. From today onwards, I refuse all kissing scenes and bed scenes!"
"Also, I reject any roles and outfits that require revealing clothing."
The person she liked was Wang Chao, and in her lifetime, she would not allow herself to have any intimate contact with any other man besides him.
She wanted to save the most precious thing in her life for Wang Chao.
"Yang Mi, you're planning to go for the innocent image, but can you surpass Wang Zuxian?" the assistant furrowed her brow.
In the entire entertainment industry, the only big star who does not film kissing scenes, bed scenes, or expose her body is Wang Zuxian!
Now, Yang Mi wanted to follow in Wang Zuxian's footsteps?
This might not be a good idea!
After all, Wang Zuxian became famous early on and holds a high position. She has the capital to refuse things she doesn't like.
Yang Mi, on the other hand, is just a rising newcomer. If she were to establish such an image and the investors were to become angry, it could lead to a decline in her resources.
"I am being true to myself and not comparing myself to anyone else," Yang Mi glanced at her assistant and said in a deep voice. "Stop talking nonsense and quickly inform Manager Mei to issue the statement."
Manager Mei was in charge of the public relations department in her company. She handled many external affairs and was responsible for reviewing and releasing statements.
"Understood," the assistant replied and left. In her mind, she couldn't help but complain, "Has Yang Mi become too full of herself? She's just starting to gain some momentum, with official announcements about her love life and wanting to portray a pure actress. Is she not afraid of losing fans?"
"No, I need to inform the company's boss about this. I can't let Yang Mi go off on her own and ruin her future!" The assistant decided to inform the company's boss about the situation, thinking that only the boss could rein in Yang Mi.
Meanwhile, Yang Mi paid no attention to her assistant's actions. She wore the protective amulet given to her by Wang Chao and began to carefully study the script.
Ding!
Her phone vibrated slightly.
She received a WeChat message.
"Brother Wang?" Yang Mi immediately picked up her phone with excitement, expecting a message from Wang Chao.
However, it wasn't from Wang Chao. It was a message from her friend in the entertainment industry, Liu Shishi: Honey, I think I've run into some trouble.
It was not from Wang Chao.
Upon seeing that it was a message from Liu Shishi, Yang Mi felt a bit disappointed. However, after reading the content of the message, her expression changed slightly, and she typed a reply: "Trouble? What do you mean?"
Liu Shishi responded quickly, saying, "Yes, I've been feeling like there's something watching me from the darkness lately."
"Especially when it's late at night and everything is quiet, I feel like there's something staring at me from the ceiling."
"Then, I hear eerie sounds coming from under the bed, as if someone is crying."
"But when I turn on the light and look, there's nothing on the ceiling or under the bed."
"I've told some people about this, and they say there must be some dirty entity bothering me. Honey, I'm so scared."
Behind these messages were crying emojis.
As Yang Mi read these words, she could not help but feel a chill running down her spine, even though it was broad daylight.
Even just reading about it made her feel scared, let alone experiencing these things like Liu Shishi.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her fear, typing a message to inquire, "What are you planning to do?"
Liu Shishi sent a terrified expression and then asked, "I heard that there's a temple in Canton City where some blessed Buddhist beads have the power to ward off sinister spirits. Can you accompany me there tomorrow?"
Buddhist beads for protection?
As Yang Mi read this, her gaze fell on the protective amulet that Wang Chao had given her. A thought crossed her mind, "Could this thing also have the power to ward off sinister spirits?"
