The news about Lu Yang's family quickly spread throughout the entire school.

The way everyone looked at Lu Yang changed from disdain and fear to disbelief and sympathy, which made Lu Yang feel a little awkward.

Fortunately, he didn't stay at school often. He spent most of his time going out to check on the progress of construction sites in the market, and then he went to Lin Hongshan's place to check on the renovation situation.

Lin Hongshan is calm and meticulous in his work, and he decorated the house with great style, showing that he did a lot of research.

Lu Yang hardly had to worry about anything, so he simply went to look at the properties near the school.

There are quite a few housing developments here, after all, Shandong University is one of the top universities in the area.

Lu Yang contacted a real estate agent nearby, looked at four houses, and finally settled on the third one.

This house consists of a storefront on the first floor and a residence on the second floor, with a total area of ​​over 180 square meters.

Because the location was so good and the house was so expensive, Lu Yang negotiated with the real estate agent and finally bought it for 190,000 yuan.

After completing the transfer of ownership, Lu Yang hired a professional cleaner to give the house a thorough cleaning.

After it's finished, he plans to renovate the house into a small hotel.

These days, most people still prefer to stay in guesthouses, and small hotels have become much less common.

Guesthouses are generally in poor condition, while hotels can be better decorated, and naturally, their prices are higher.

Lu Yang scratched his head. In later generations, hotels also had chains. He could start one too.

Especially near schools, such hotels will spring up like mushrooms after rain in three to five years.

While Lu Yang was pondering the decorating style of his newly purchased house, Lu Qing had already entered a high-end hotel in Shanghai.

She followed Lu Yao and even dressed up carefully.

Because Lu Yao told her that he was introducing her to a famous director this time.

If Lu Qing can win the director's favor, she can become an actress.

This director has made many well-known films. If Lu Qing is fortunate enough to star in one of his films, she could very well become an overnight sensation.

Lu Qing was very nervous. She was somewhat confident in her appearance and felt that she had a chance, but she didn't know if she could catch the eye of this famous director.

How do you know this director?

Lu Qing turned her head and asked Lu Yao.

Because Lu Yao is just a college student and hasn't entered society yet, how could he know such high-society people?

Lu Yao pursed his lips and said, "This director came to our school to promote his new film before. I'm from the publicity department of our school and had contact with their crew, so I left the director's assistant's contact information."

"I told you long ago that you should go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shanghai for college. The important thing is not what you study, but where you study."

Lu Qing pursed her lips, feeling a little regretful. Perhaps she was really wrong back then and shouldn't have chosen to stay in the provincial capital.

Her college entrance exam score back then was high enough to get her into a big city.

There's no going back in life, so even if you regret it, it's too late.

The two walked to the door of a private room, and Lu Yao raised his hand and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a man in his forties, wearing black suit pants, a white shirt, with medium-length hair and glasses, glanced at Lu Yao before fixing his gaze on Lu Qing.

"This is your sister, Lu Qing?"

The man asked Lu Yao in a slightly hoarse voice.

Lu Yao said politely, "Yes, yes, Director Yu, this is my sister."

Director Yu nodded seriously and said, "Then you should go back. I'll talk to your sister. Do you have any acting experience before?"

The last question was clearly directed at Lu Qing, who nervously replied, "No...no."

Lu Yao patted her shoulder, his meaning clear: this was all he could do to help her.

"Director Yu, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Lu Yao left without looking back.

Director Yu stepped aside to make room and said, "Come in. Without acting experience, you can't handle overly complex roles from the start."

Lu Qing lowered her head and obediently entered the private room, saying, "Director Yu, I hope you can give me a chance."

Director Yu closed the door, casually pinched Lu Qing's waist, and said with a smile, "Acting requires a lot of talent. If you don't know how, just learn seriously."

Lu Qing froze. She wasn't a young girl; of course she knew what Director Yu meant.

Her mind went blank, and she felt utterly disgusted.

Although she had many admirers, she only ever slept with Shen Xuwen.

Shen Xuwen is young and handsome, and she genuinely likes him, so of course she's very willing to be with him.

But this Director Yu is old enough to be her father, yet he asks her to do this kind of thing.

Director Yu clearly saw through Lu Qing's thoughts, but he didn't move his hand away; instead, he moved it downwards.

“If you’re not willing to learn opera today, you can forget about being in this industry. You’re not from a professional background and you have no experience, so you won’t make it big.”

With just one sentence, Lu Qing's escape route was completely blocked.

Director Yu's implication was very clear: if Lu Qing didn't comply, she could forget about working in the film and television industry.

Lu Qing closed her eyes, squeezed out a few tears, and said pitifully, "Brother Yu, I... I'm nervous."

Director Yu scooped her up in his arms and placed her on the bed, then leaned over her and pressed down on her, saying, "What's there to be nervous about? It's not like you've never done this before."

"I'm good at judging people; you're not a virgin."

Lu Qing's pupils twitched; she hadn't expected to be seen through so quickly.

She wiped away her tears and said, "I've only ever had one boyfriend, never someone I wasn't close to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Director Yu kissed her again, silencing her with a kiss.

……

The next morning, when Lu Qing woke up, she felt like her back was about to break.

Director Yu had long since disappeared. Lu Qing panicked for a moment and struggled to get up before finding him in the bathroom.

"Brother Yu, I thought you had left."

After last night, she also abandoned her reserve, hoping that her efforts would not be in vain.

Director Yu patted Lu Qing's hair and urged, "I'll take you out for a big meal."

“There’s a small role in one of my new dramas that would be perfect for you.”

Lu Qing was overjoyed. She quickly dressed, washed up briefly, and went out with Director Yu.

The two went to a high-end restaurant for Western food. Lu Qing watched as Director Yu ordered a steak that cost over a thousand yuan without even blinking, and felt that she had chosen the right person to follow.

Director Yu saw Lu Qing's reaction and knew that she had fallen into his trap.

She's just a country bumpkin with a bit of cleverness, completely clueless about society, and easy to manipulate.

After the two finished their meal, Director Yu took Lu Qing directly to his film company to sign a contract.

Lu Qing followed along in a daze, being given instructions the whole way.

It wasn't until she signed the contract and Director Yu asked her to come to the company to film the day after tomorrow that she came to her senses.

When Lu Qing returned to the guesthouse, she found Lu Yao waiting for her.

When Lu Yao saw her return, he couldn't help but ask angrily, "Why did you take so long? Did you reach an agreement?"

Lu Qing stared at Lu Yao for a long time, and she was sure that Lu Yao really didn't understand Director Yu and really thought that she was just there to talk about the role.

She was too lazy to explain further, and only said wearily, "Director Yu asked me to play a small role, and I'll be filming the day after tomorrow."
