Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Success in Career_1

"No, you’re right." Mrs. Bo bandaged her wounds and said, "You just so happened to speak the truth."

"Mom Bo, please don’t misunderstand Qingtian... "

Shi Qian repeated this over and over, and advised her, "Don’t tell anyone else what I just said. I’m afraid Qingtian and Mr. Bo will hold a grudge against me."

"Rest assured, I haven’t heard anything today." Mrs. Bo reassured her.

Only then did Shi Qian breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, she casually glanced over at Mrs. Bo, noticing her dislike towards Xia Qingtian. At this observation, Shi Qian couldn’t help to smile involuntarily.

Her plan was working brilliantly.

...

Xia Qingtian knew Mrs. Bo had collected An’an’s DNA sample. In about a week, the kinship identification results would be available.

She wouldn’t need to do anything at that point, as it would prove her and An’an’s innocence.

With this in mind, she pushed the matter to the back of her head, pouring all of her attention into the entertainment company.

Each day, apart from accompanying Cheng Bingbing to film scenes, she had to find other resources for the rest of the artists.

The character Bingbing was currently playing was quite outstanding, but her screen time was minimal. She needed to find subsequent resources and roles for Bingbing.

Bingbing couldn’t possibly be unemployed as soon as this production ended.

After a few days of effort, Xia Qingtian contacted a representative of a fashion brand, actively engaging in discussions for a potential endorsement.

But before she could finalize the endorsement, the palace drama featuring Cheng Bingbing started airing on several video websites at 8 o’clock that night.

In light of this, the production team finished work early that day.

After watching the show, Xia Qingtian checked the reviews online. She found them to be unexpectedly good: the cast was attractive, their acting was solid, and the TV drama felt like a movie in terms of quality. The dialogue and plot were also well thought out.

Therefore, the drama received great response and had the potential to become a breakthrough success.

Just as Xia Qingtian had thought, the character of the favorite consort was well-received, leading to a sharp increase in Cheng Bingbing’s popularity index.

Her social media followers increased by over 200,000 in one night.

The next day, once everyone finished filming, the producer gathered everyone together with great joy to announce the drama’s fine performance and the injection of a large investment from investors.

In order to encourage everyone, they invited all the crew members and the actors to have dinner at the best hotel in A City.

Everyone was really happy and started toasting each other.

As the lead role with a heavy screen presence in the early episodes of the series, Cheng Bingbing was reaping many benefits in the early stages of the show’s broadcast. It was inevitable that she had to toast the directors and producers.

Soon, she got a little tipsy.

Then, the producers came over to take a drink with Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian frowned, not very keen on drinking.

She was afraid that if she also got drunk, there would be no one to look after Bingbing. The two of them, being girls, would be at a disadvantage.

But refusing to drink could easily offend people. As the saying goes, it’s easier to meet King Yama than to mess with his little devils. She worried that if she didn’t give the producers face, she would be singled out for favoritism on set.

Just as she was agonizing over how to find an excuse to avoid drinking without offending anyone, suddenly...

Someone handed her a glass of wine and whispered in her ear, "Sister Qingtian, have this. Someone gave me this grape juice."

Xia Qingtian turned her head and found out it was Shi Qian.

Shi Qian gave her a sly wink.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but smile in understanding, and took the glass of grape juice.

"With all due respect, Producer Zhao, I toast to you." After saying this, she first sipped a little to confirm it was indeed grape juice, after which she finished it in one gulp.

Producer Zhao also finished his glass, then cast his lingering gaze at Xia Qingtian, attempting to encourage her to drink more.

Xia Qingtian was very uncomfortable under his gaze, but didn’t confront him.

"Producer Zhao, I..." She was about to say something when she feigned gagging.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom." With that, she placed her hand over her mouth as if she were drunk and staggered out of the room.

Once she left the room and saw that the producer hadn’t followed her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She took a breather outside, sat down to rest for a while, and then planned to sneak back into the room. When everyone wasn’t looking, she would take Bingbing out of the room and however, suddenly...

She began to feel thirsty and slightly dizzy.

Xia Qingtian frowned and asked the waiter for two bottles of water to drink, but the feeling of thirst didn’t lessen. Her dizziness worsened to the point where she was almost unable to stand and finally sat back down.

At this moment, she finally realized something strange was happening.

She reached for her phone to call Bo Jingyan, but found out her phone was still in the room.

Just as Xia Qingtian was anxiously thinking of a solution, she heard heavy footsteps behind her.

A greasy voice sounded, "Darling, why are you all alone here?"

Xia Qingtian struggled to open her eyes and found it was Producer Zhao.

Before she could react, Zhao had already pulled her up from the stone bench, holding her as they walked towards the hotel rooms. He said gleefully, "Tonight is my lucky night. Seems like I’ve found myself a beautiful woman."

Xia Qingtian wanted to resist, to call out for help, but she didn’t have any strength. Instead, a wave of heat surged through her body, growing stronger and stronger.

She was disgusted by the producer, yet she felt a strange compulsion to cling to him.

Producer Zhao noticed this, and his breathing quickened, "Sweetheart, don’t worry, I’ll satisfy you soon."

In a flash, they arrived at the hotel room, Zhao took out his room card, opened the door, and led Xia Qingtian into the room.

Once the room door was closed, Shi Qian took out her phone and strolled out from a hidden spot. She looked at the pictures she had taken, an expression of satisfaction appeared on her face.

"Xia Qingtian, this is my gift to you. Enjoy it."

Having said that, she put on a nonchalant air, avoiding the surveillance cameras, and made her way back to the room.

...

At that moment, in the room.

With a flushed face and quickened breath, Xia Qingtian had fainted and was now lying on the bed.

Producer Zhao took off his jacket and impatiently pounced on her.

Just as he was about to tear off Xia Qingtian’s clothes and have his way with her, suddenly...

Xia Qingtian, who had just been unconscious moments ago, abruptly opened her eyes.

Before Zhao could react, he saw a flash of menace in Xia Qingtian’s eyes.

Then, a sharp pain hit his head, and he completely passed out.

After doing all of this, Xia Qingtian was gasping for air even more, her body felt hotter and hotter, her consciousness blurred further and it was becoming harder and harder to control herself...
