Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!
Chapter 422 - Chapter 422 Chapter 422 The Show Was Stolen

Chapter 422: Chapter 422: The Show Was Stolen Chapter 422: Chapter 422: The Show Was Stolen The agent straightened his expression, “Sister Ying, I watched ‘Allure.’ Although there are only four episodes, it’s really good.”

Chu Ying’s face darkened at once, “What do you mean?”

“I’m stating the facts. You should know Xu Jiayang’s capabilities better than anyone. ‘Allure’ is his comeback work, don’t you think?

I was hooked in less than half an episode. If it catches attention, it’s definitely going to be a hit, and a big one at that!”

Chu Ying was dismissive. Hooked in half an episode? Could it get any more exaggerated?

She took the agent’s phone and opened Youju.

Contributing to the viewership of ‘Allure’ felt irritating just to think about it.

However, less than twenty minutes into watching, her expression changed.

Her grip on the phone tightened.

Her gaze turned fierce, “We can’t let ‘Allure’ make a comeback!”

She was in her prime and couldn’t be upstaged by anyone.

The agent shook his head, “I’m afraid that might be difficult. Xu Jiayang won’t just sit back and die; Hongtu has already made a move.

They’ve secured Xia Weibao a spot on the ‘My Star Journey’ interview, seemingly trying to hype her up and then boost the ratings for ‘Allure.’

Chu Ying narrowed her eyes.

Xia Weibao, huh? That woman was too exceptional, so exceptional it was envy-inducing!

“Destroy her.”

“What did you say?”

The agent was somewhat shocked, “Sister Ying, don’t be impulsive. Xia Weibao is not someone to be messed with; look at how many people have tried to finish her since her comeback, but what was the outcome?

Lin Mier, Lin Siqian, Jiang Ming, they are all living examples.

That woman is no simple character.”

Chu Ying sneered, “You’re comparing me to those failures?”

The agent fell silent.

“So, what’s your plan?”

“Stabbing people in the back isn’t something we need to do ourselves. Jiang Ming got shelved by his company because of Xia Weibao, and his brother was kicked out of the military because of her. He must hate her guts by now!

Didn’t you buy some videos from a journalist before? Give them to Jiang Ming, I’m sure he would be very happy to take Xia Weibao down!”

The agent gave Chu Ying a thumbs up, “Clever.”

This way, it wouldn’t be their problem anymore.

If Jiang Ming could take down Xia Weibao, great; if not, they wouldn’t lose anything.

Chu Ying’s smile was scornful, thinking an over-the-hill actress thought she could compete with her–she didn’t even know how to spell ‘dead’!

“Right, ‘My Star Journey’ is a big show, why would they choose Xia Weibao?”

“Seems like it was her agent who pulled some strings.”

Chu Ying frowned, “Look into this agent. Get someone to contact the ‘My Star Journey’ team and tell them I’m free tomorrow morning at ten, and I want to join their program.”

A current star and a washed-up actress–anyone with insight should know who to choose.

The next day, Xia Weibao got up early and arrived at the company by six-thirty.

At seven, she and Xia Shi were on time at Channel X.

Since ‘My Star Journey’ was a high-end show, they needed to spend three hours on makeup and preparing for the recording.

However, when they arrived, they were informed that the show had changed guests.

Xia Shi frowned and said to the staff, “It was clearly agreed yesterday that Xia Weibao would be recording. Why the sudden change? This is breaching your word!”

The staff member laughed, with a disdainful scorn, “Breaching our word? Did you sign a contract? Nothing was set in stone, we can change our guest if we want to. Go on, get out of here, don’t delay our work.”

An over-the-hill actress who also starred in a flop, how could she compare to the current popular star, Chu Ying!

Hmph!
