Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Zhen asked Xi De if he had time to accept an interview with her. After he agreed, the two of them made an appointment with a media outlet for an online interview. The interview lasted for more than 20 minutes. Most of the questions asked by the emcee revolved around the movie and the character.

After the interview video was released, it added fuel to the popularity of Yue

Qin and Zheng Xiong. A netizen jokingly expressed his inner fantasy. “If Lu Zhen doesn’t have a boyfriend, 1 really think she and Xi De are quite compatible.”

“Don’t let Brother-in-law hear you. But then again, Lu Zhen doesn’t seem to have interacted much with her boyfriend recently?”

“Her boyfriend isn’t from the entertainment industry to begin with. After their relationship stabilized, it’s normal for the two of them to choose to keep a low profile and date, right?”

In a movie studio in Beijing, a woman in a baseball cap walked out of the theater. Soon, her phone rang. After picking up the call, she nodded. “Got it. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”

After putting away her cell phone, she looked at the poster of the movie “Beauty” hanging on the wall beside her.

On the poster, the protagonist Yue Qin, who was wearing a cheongsam, was as beautiful as a person who had walked out of a dream. There was a trace of disappointment between her brows, and her eyes were filled with a story.

The fans who walked out of the theater were still discussing the plot enthusiastically. The word “Lu Zhen” kept appearing in their mouths.

The woman in the baseball cap retracted her gaze from the poster. The complicated emotions in her eyes dissipated bit by bit. After Luo Xia arrived at the company, she quickly arrived at Lu He’s office. She saw that Lu He’s expression was not relaxed. In fact, he was a little irritated.

“Where did you go?” Lu He glanced at Luo Xia and asked.

“To watch a movie,” Luo Xia answered simply and slowly sat down in a chair.

“Beauty?” Lu He asked with a frown.

Luo Xia nodded.

Lu He sneered as if he had thought of something very unpleasant. A moment later, he sat opposite Luo Xia and said in a gloomy tone, “Did you see Lu Zhen? Look at how popular she is now, but I was the one who nurtured her!”

Luo Xia did not say anything. This was not the first time she had heard Lu He mention the name “Lu Zhen” in front of her and always compared her to Lu

Zhen.

“Unfortunately, that heartless bitch ran away. If I had known earlier, I would have let her live a bitter life in the orphanage and be at the bottom for the rest of her life!” Lu He gritted his teeth.

After taking a deep breath, he looked at Luo Xia. “l think highly of you. Your talent is definitely not inferior to Lu Zhen’s, but she’s too popular now. You have to work harder to catch up to her. Are you confident?”

Lu He seemed to be in a mobilization meeting. Luo Xia felt very helpless and sighed. “I haven’t slept more than five hours a day this month. How hard do you want me to work?”

Lu He signed her up for a bunch of training classes and even accepted a few movies for her. She was so busy every day that she didn’t have a chance to catch her breath.

“Hard? Lu Zhen received such training when she was seven years old. You started too late. You have to spend more time and energy to catch up.” Lu He looked dissatisfied. “With your current progress, I don’t know how long it will take to shorten the distance between you and Lu Zhen.”

Luo Xia took a deep breath and rubbed her tired forehead. “l understand.”

“By the way, I got an audition for a role in the production team of ‘Rain and

Fog. You’ll go with Yu Shuang tomorrow.” Lu He stopped looking at Luo Xia.

Luo Xia wanted to say that she was already a little overworked. If she took on a new role, she might not even have time to rest. But she did not say anything in the end. She gritted her teeth and left Lu He’s office.

Although Lu He was a little anxious for quick success, he was right.

Luo Xia had entered the industry late. If she didn’t work harder, when would she be able to make a name for herself in this industry that was constantly flooded with newcomers? Not to mention reaching Lu Zhen’s level.

Luo Xia wasn’t the kind of new actress who only wanted to be a small star. She had dreams. She wanted to stand in the center of the spotlight. She wanted to enjoy the praise and love of countless people.

Being an actress was the only thing that gave her a sense of accomplishment. Even if Lu He didn’t emphasize it, Lu Zhen was still her goal in Luo Xia’s heart.

Luo Xia had mixed feelings about Lu Zhen. On one hand, she knew that Lu Zhen was very outstanding. On the other hand, when she saw Lu Zhen, she felt like an ant had crawled over her heart.

She knew that it was jealousy..
