The show was soon aired, and Zhao Yilin once again became the focus of attention and a hot topic. However, this time was different from the past. Instead of asking her to quit the entertainment industry, she was accused of "playing both the role and the position".

This term means that she wants to maintain a certain image or position, but at the same time she behaves in a way that contradicts it. This evaluation puts Zhao Yilin in an awkward and complicated situation. This is also what she expected, which is that her agent He Ru is furious.

"Are you crazy? Didn't you read the manuscript I prepared for you?"

"I saw it and forgot about it."

He Ru didn't believe it at all. "You are kidding me! You can remember pages and pages of lines, but you can't remember this? I think you did it on purpose."

Zhao Yilin bravely expressed her feelings, "I don't want to hype up a couple with him. I don't need to gain attention in this way. Is that not okay?"

He Ru laughed out of anger, "You think you're great just because you acted in two dramas, right? Let me tell you, it's too early. You're still far from gaining a foothold in the entertainment industry. I wonder if you can still get any roles in the future!" After saying that, she slammed the door and left angrily.

Zhao Yilin sat there to calm down and turned on her computer. Social media was full of various voices. Some people thought she was deliberately creating topics to attract attention, while others felt that her words and deeds were inconsistent and disappointing. Whether it was support or criticism, Zhao Yilin felt unprecedented pressure.

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Yilin seriously thought about what she should do to gradually win back the trust of the audience and re-establish a positive image. Otherwise, the label of "being both a powerful and a weak person" might always accompany her and affect her future development path. She knew that not cooperating with Ye Hanting would have bad consequences, but she did not intend to give up.

What He Ru said was right. Zhao Yilin really hadn't received any acting gigs for a long time. Although He Ru tried hard every day, she always came back empty-handed. Zhao Yilin didn't want to drag her down anymore, so she took the initiative to find her and terminate the contract.

"Sister He Ru, why don't we break up?"

He Ru was surprised. Although she was very angry, she never thought of breaking up. There are many people scolding Zhao Yilin online, but there are also many people defending her. As long as there is discussion, there will be attention. As long as there is heat, there will be opportunities.

"How about I help you take part in two variety shows. I can have some fun while I'm at it, and it can also increase your exposure."

Zhao Yilin still felt a little guilty towards He Ru, so she agreed without thinking. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Sister He Ru, I have my own bottom line, and I believe you do too."

He Ru also felt that she was too impulsive some time ago, "Okay, I understand, let's communicate more in the future."

The two smiled at each other, and that was considered a handshake. Zhao Yilin thought that her dispute with Ye Hanting was over, and from now on, they would go their separate ways. However, she underestimated the thickness of some people's skin.

Variety shows are popular recently and many TV stations are competing for talent. However, there are only a few popular variety show stars, so when they can’t get enough talent, they have to broaden the scope so that in the end any artist who is willing to participate will be accepted.

Therefore, Zhao Yilin soon received a recording invitation for a variety show. Since it was her first time, He Ru had to give her some instructions again.

"It's just like a program like escape room or a big clearance. Just play according to the rules. Relax a little and don't be silent like usual." She knew Zhao Yilin's private life best. She was completely different from when she was acting. This was also the reason why she only accepted acting roles for such a long time. Moreover, she didn't know what else she could do besides acting.

When Zhao Yilin arrived at the show, she realized that things were far from as simple as He Ru described - just play by the rules. In fact, there was a carefully written script! Everything seemed to have been predetermined: who would pass the level smoothly and who would be eliminated. After all, the schedule they signed had already clearly stipulated everything.

But she didn't expect that she would be eliminated so miserably and almost drowned.

The artists competing that day were divided into two groups. In order to enhance the audience's viewing experience, the first few games were tied, and the last game determined the winner. The losing group had to eliminate several members, and the decision was made by voting among the group members. Zhao Yilin knew that her group was bound to lose, so she signed a schedule for one period.

When everyone arrived at the competition venue, they found out that it was a water event. Zhao Yilin was panicking because she couldn't swim and was afraid of water. He Ru didn't tell her that there were water events before they came, or maybe she didn't know about it. Now that it was time, she had no choice but to go for it. There should be some protective measures.

As soon as they came on stage, the host and referee asked, "Is there anyone who can't swim?"

Zhao Yilin raised her hands high, "Me."

The host laughed loudly, and the other team members quickly high-fived to celebrate: "Great, there are actually people who can't swim, we will definitely win."

Zhao Yilin was still hoping that the production team would give her a life jacket or something, but after everyone laughed, nothing happened. The host announced the start of the show and hinted that the other team could attack him: "The rules of this game are that everyone sits in a small boat and attacks the other team's team members. The winner is the one who keeps the number of their own team members ahead in the boat for half an hour. Those who can't swim can be attacked first, because they can't keep their balance on the boat, and they definitely can't climb out once they fall into the water."

Zhao Yilin's heart tightened. Why did this person do this? Shouldn't she have raised her hand just now? She sat on the boat tremblingly, and it was really difficult to keep her balance. She thought that her teammates would surround her to protect her when they knew she couldn't swim. But when the game started, they all rowed their boats and hid far away. She couldn't steer a boat, so she was exposed to the enemy all of a sudden. Before she could panic, she was knocked off the boat.

The water was not very deep, just up to her neck. But it was dangerous for her, who could not swim at all. When she fell off the boat, she was so panicked that she could not stand in the water. She was so panicked that she kept struggling in the water. When she thought she was about to drown, someone pulled her to shore.

Zhao Yilin spit out water and saw clearly who saved her: it was the lifeguard of the program team. The others were still having fun. It seems that she is still a little transparent!
