Volume 2 Chapter 1314: Friends and Enemies
Thinking of this, the director took Sister Xia aside to discuss, "Sister Xia, the whipping scene cannot be a real one."
"I'm afraid Cao Yu's force will be very strong and hurt people."
"You and Qiao Man have such a good relationship, can you ask Cao Yu to be merciful when he hits me? Just hit him really hard with the first two whips, and don't hit anyone with the last one."
Two whips? Real, that's it.
Listening to the director's words, the smile on Sister Xia's face became even wider.
"I don't want Qiao Man to get hurt either. I'll listen to the director on this matter."
"It's just that my Cao Yu doesn't know whether to listen or not. I try my best to persuade her." Sister Xia said with a smile.
Her answer made the director feel very comfortable, "Thank you, Sister Xia."
"Qiao Man's identity is different. I don't dare to let her get hurt." Sister Xia immediately understood the meaning of the director's words.
She thought about the last time Cao Yu was beaten by Qiao Man. The director did not scold Qiao Man, but instead settled the matter. At that time, she felt weird. In this industry, directors would not help people who had no connections or backgrounds.
Qiao Man is a third-rate actor who has been playing supporting roles these years, so the director shouldn't help her.
"Yes, if Qiao Man is injured, you won't be able to explain to the investors."
Sister Xia knew exactly who the investors of the film crew were.
She thought to herself that Qiao Man was very noble back then and refused to sell herself for profit. Why did Qiao Man compromise in five years?
I don’t know which investor it is. But no matter which one it is, she has the ability to let investors kick Qiao Man away.
"No." the director replied.
"Huh?" Sister Xia was stunned for a moment, wondering about the director's words, "Director, isn't it an investor supporting Qiao Man? Who is that?"
Sister Xia was still thinking that Qiao Man's investor must not be the biggest one, but should be a small investor, otherwise why would she be given the role of the third female lead.
The role of the third female lead, with less than ten scenes, is simply incomparable to the female lead.
"Sister Xia." The director called with a smile, "Don't embarrass me."
"If you want to know, why not ask Qiao Man yourself." The director said.
Sister Xia nodded and responded, "Yes."
"I'm also concerned about Qiao Man. Our relationship is so good, and I'm worried that something will happen to her."
Sister Xia really wants something to happen to Qiao Man.
After the director left, Cao Yu immediately ran to Sister Xia and asked, "How was it?"
"The director wants you to be whipped twice, but control the force and not be too harsh. The rest is up to you."
"How can this be done?" Cao Yu immediately retorted.
Cao Yu's eyes became cold, "She slapped me so hard and asked me to whip me back. She thought beautifully."
"No, I will give you all ten lashes. Please tell the director for me."
Cao Yu urged Sister Xia to talk to the director again.
Sister Xia smiled and shook her head, "The director intends to help Qiao Man."
"Help Qiao Man?" Cao Yu was stunned, then laughed, "It's not like she had an affair with the director, right?"
"Qiao Man is so shameless."
Sister Xia didn't speak for Qiao Man. She looked at Qiao Man who was coming not far away, "She's not a director in the background."
"But it doesn't matter who's behind her."
"Cao Yu, today's play is over, you have a day off tomorrow. Let's go see Mr. Gu."
"Master Gu?" Cao Yu suddenly had a smile on her face when she heard that Sister Xia arranged for her to meet Gu Ziming.
Gu Ziming was the man she wanted most. She failed to seduce him last time in the Golden Cave, so she was unwilling to give in.
This man must be hers in the end.
"Yes." Sister Xia said, "I made an appointment for you."
Cao Yu happily said to Sister Xia, "Thank you, Sister Xia. It's really hard for you."
While they were talking, Qiao Man came over. Cao Yu glared at her, turned around and walked to the rest shed to rest.
Sister Xia did not walk away and smiled at Qiao Man.
When Qiao Man came over, she saw them. As she passed towards Sister Xia, she didn't even look at Sister Xia.
When Sister Xia saw Qiao Man ignoring her, the smile on her lips froze.
"Qiao Man!" She stopped Qiao Man and shouted in a cold voice.
Qiao Man stopped, turned her head slightly, and looked at Sister Xia coldly.
"Long time no see."
"Yes." Qiao Man responded quietly and gave Sister Xia a word.
Sister Xia turned around and saw Qiao Man, who was not paying much attention to her. She sneered coldly, "Qiao Man, what qualifications do you have to be proud of me now!"
"I can send you to heaven, or I can drag you to hell."
"You are a grasshopper in my hand."
Sister Xia said coldly. When she looked at Qiao Man, her eyes were filled with hatred.
Qiao Man heard it funny. She turned around and looked into Sister Xia's eyes, "Xia Yingying, you are worse than an ant in my eyes."
"No matter how much you cultivate, you can't cultivate a second me. Cao Yu is like this. Do you think she can move up in the future?"
"You spent five years letting her crawl into the beds of many financial sponsors, but in the end she didn't become a first-line actress."
"So, those methods of yours are really not worthy of publicity. Even if Cao Yu succeeds, you still won't get what you want!"
"You will never get it in this life." Qiao Man's words made Sister Xia even colder.
There was a person who was once your best friend, but you never imagined that one day he would become the person you hate the most.
Qiao Man and Xia Yingying used to be very good. They came to Ningcheng together, slept together and talked about each other's dreams, and realized their dreams in the entertainment industry together.
Xia Yingying said, Manman, I want to make you the most awesome star and let you stand at the top.
Qiao Man replied to her, "Okay, I will also make you the most powerful agent."
They depend on each other in this strange city.

Thinking of the past, Qiao Man looked at Xia Yingying with cold eyes.
"One year, I will use one year to get you out of the entertainment industry." Xia Yingying added.
Qiao Man said disdainfully, "Xia Yingying, you really don't understand me."
They are still best friends, but neither of them understands the other.
In the past, Qiao Man felt that Xia Yingying knew her best, but it turned out not to be the case.
Later, she was destroyed by Xia Yingying, and she realized that her best friend had always hated her so much.
Qiao Man's light touch made Xia Yingying clench her fists.
She looked at Qiao Man's retreating back and vowed in her heart that she would drive Qiao Man out of the entertainment industry.
However, she didn't know that Qiao Man didn't want to stay here any longer.
It doesn't matter to Qiao Man whether he can leave the entertainment industry or not.
Before the whipping scene began, the director and Qiao Man reviewed the scene. Qiao Man knew this scene before. Cao Yu and Xia Yingying would use this scene to take revenge on her.
When changing clothes, Qiao Man stuffed cardboard into her clothes, hoping to avoid Cao Yu's whip later.
Outside the entertainment city, a car parked outside. The driver got out and opened the door. An old woman came out.
"You go and park the car, and I'll go in and see my granddaughter-in-law." Mrs. Gu said to the driver. The driver nodded and watched Mrs. Gu slowly enter.
