The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.
Chapter 71 Calculation
She sensed the hidden meaning in her sister's words, and no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't stop her from making the decision.
He slowly released her wrist and watched her resolutely leave.
In the dimly lit stairwell, only her solitary figure remained, her heart aching unbearably, as if pierced by countless sharp thorns.
It turns out that her reckless rush was just wishful thinking on her part. If things really went wrong because of her, her sister might even resent and hate her.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
As she swayed precariously, she instinctively braced herself against the wall, and the safety door opened just in time. Ni Qing stood in the brightly lit doorway, calmly watching her.
Schimerling lowered his head and wiped away the tears on his face.
When I looked up at her again, apart from her red eyes, everything else had returned to normal, but there was still an undisguised loneliness in her eyes.
"Please tell my sister that I'll leave and won't cause her any trouble..."
Her voice, now low and hoarse, carried a heavy self-mockery.
Ni Qing lowered her eyes and whispered, "Don't blame your sister, she has her own difficulties..."
"I understand, thank you, Sister Ni Qing. I... I want to be alone right now. I've never been to such a tall building before, and I want to try walking down slowly..."
Ni Qing understood her grievances and distress, so she didn't stop her. Instead, she told her to watch her step.
She would also inform the hotel manager to avoid being mistaken for someone who had wandered into the hotel without permission.
After saying goodbye to her, Schimerlin turned and walked down the stairs.
The faint footsteps gradually faded away, and Ni Qing sighed, closed the door, and left.
However, Schimerling suddenly returned without alerting anyone.
I just sat quietly behind the safety door, feeling extremely sad, but still unwilling to leave.
She dared not look at her phone too much, afraid of running out of battery. She would only check the time from time to time. No matter how hard it was to stay awake or how sleepy she felt, she would stay awake and wait.
Around midnight, the quiet corridor finally broke into a commotion. Schimerin immediately stood up and carefully opened the security door a little wider.
They were all other guests at the hotel, and several more groups left afterward, but I still didn't see my sister or Sister Ni Qing.
She couldn't help but worry even more about her sister's safety. If something bad happened to her, she wouldn't dare to call the police or make a scene, and would have to suffer in silence...
Just as she was hesitating about whether or not to go find someone, several more people appeared in the corridor.
Through the crack in the door, she first saw Ni Qing's back, and her heart tightened instantly. Her sister must be here too; they had finally come out.
Just as she was about to go out to meet them, a man's deep, harsh, and mocking voice rang out in the quiet corridor: "Ms. Shu, you think you can easily get the role you want by dancing for us and having a dozen drinks with us? You overestimate yourself... Shi Jun, let's go, we have to rush back to Beijing tomorrow..."
"Mr. You, please wait a moment. I... I can accept any request, but... only that one is unacceptable..."
Ni Qing supported the swaying Shu Xiangyu, pleading softly, still unwilling to give up the hard-won opportunity.
Another man, You Shengjue, sneered, "Hmph, you don't need to force yourself. We're never short of beautiful women..."
"Mr. Ning, we'll take our leave now. We'll keep in touch when we have time."
After finishing his sentence, Yin Shijun prepared to leave.
"Teacher Yin, please wait a moment..."
Cao He from Feicheng Company's project department, with a fawning expression, quickly pulled Yin Shijun aside and chatted with him for a few words to temporarily calm him down.
Then he asked Ni Qing to help Shu Xiangyu to the side.
"Xiao Ni, thank you for taking her to President You and Teacher Yin's residence tonight. After it's done, I'll have the company give you a big bonus, and there's also the matter of your promotion..."
Cao He whispered instructions in her ear, his eyes revealing calculation as he also observed Shu Xiangyu's drunken state from time to time.
Clearly, he had planned to get Shu Xiangyu drunk beforehand, and if she accepted the arrangement, then things would proceed smoothly.
If she objects, there are ways to make her comply, and she won't dare to complain afterward.
Ni Qing is no novice in the entertainment industry; she can be easily persuaded to do things for a little profit, and she doesn't want to ruin Shu Xiangyu's reputation.
Although she was well aware of these sordid matters, she pretended not to know most of the time in order to survive in Haishi.
She was somewhat aware of Cao He's despicable behavior; he was adept at using his position to make newcomers to the entertainment industry cater to bosses, producers, and directors.
After the deal is done, he will not only receive a reward from the company, but also get to know more influential people. He will also earn a substantial commission for each successful referral.
Ni Qing knew that offending him would not end well. Just as she was facing a difficult choice, Xi Molin pretended to be out of breath and suddenly pushed open the safety door, walking over quickly.
With her short hair and wearing the uniform of an armed police cadet, she naturally took the already drunk Shu Xiangyu from Ni Qing's hands in full view of everyone. The smell of alcohol was even stronger than before, which showed how much she had drunk.
"I'm so sorry, Sister Ni Qing, I'm late. I couldn't get on the elevator, so I climbed dozens of floors to finally make it..."
Ni Qing was completely surprised that she hadn't left, and there was obvious astonishment in her eyes.
"You... why are you still here?"
Shu Xiangyu, whose mind was not quite clear, vaguely saw her and was equally surprised.
Cao He's face immediately darkened, and he asked in a stern voice, "Who are you?"
Schimerling saw the man's ugly face clearly from behind the door, and even though she knew he was the manager of her sister's company, she didn't give him a friendly look.
"Oh, I'm Shu Xiangyu's sister. I've come to take her home."
Her expression was indifferent; she didn't even glance at him, her gentle and worried gaze only falling on her sister's flushed cheeks.
"Excuse me, everyone, I'll take my sister home now."
As she spoke, she effortlessly swept Shu Xiangyu into her arms.
"Sister Ni Qing, could you please press the elevator button for me?"
Although Ni Qing was curious as to why she had returned, the most important thing at the moment was to take Xiang Yu away.
She ignored Cao He's ugly, shit-like expression, put Xiang Yu's phone in her pocket, pressed the elevator button, swiped her card, and pressed the floor she wanted to go to.
Then he watched the two leave, leaving himself to deal with the awkward situation.
Ning Chao, who hadn't said a word, smiled faintly and said calmly, "Things have come to this, so we'll be leaving now. President Cao, if you have any good projects in the future, remember to contact us again..."
Afterwards, Ning Chao, You Shengjue, and Yin Shijun left in another elevator.
Ni Qing was left alone to face Cao He's raging anger.
"What a coincidence that her sister is here!"
"You should ask Ms. Mei about this; she should know the truth."
Cao He's expression faltered slightly: "President Mei..."
"Hmm, she and that girl should know each other..."
She dared not openly admit that she knew Schimerlin, lest she get into trouble later.
"So, she sent someone to pick up Shu Xiangyu tonight?"
Ni Qing shook her head: "I'm not too sure, but I heard that Xiang Yu's father is a colonel in the Armed Police, and her younger sister studies at the Armed Police Academy. She's incredibly skilled in martial arts and has represented the school in several competitions. You saw her just now, picking up Xiang Yu without any effort..."
Cao He felt extremely annoyed listening to her rambling nonsense, but he kept it to himself.
Today's wishful thinking has backfired, but one must not offend Mei Xiaofei, otherwise one will suffer the consequences.
