Lin Fengtian flared up when he heard the name. “Yan Bingqing? That carpet star? She’s only a vase1 in any shows she was cast in. Either as white lotus or stupidly sweet Bai Tian, are there any shows she had acted well before? She only knows how to pose on the red carpet during film festivals. She only has her good looks going for her and clearly lacks talent in acting!”

Yan Bingqing was a popular leading actress who made it big by virtue of the gossips surrounding her. She was presently the hottest and most talked-about actress.

She was unscrupulous and came from a decent family. Besides that, she also had the support of a few rich and influential sugar daddies.

She first appeared in a Qing drama with a meaty supporting role ten years ago.

The drama series was very popular nationwide at that time. The key producers and actors in the show shot to fame overnight.

However, she was lagging behind the lead roles and was soon forgotten.

She seemed to have managed to get hold of a mysterious sugar daddy, which got her a PR team. That PR team sparked public interest in her by using negative publicity stunts.

Yan Bingqing had all the necessary qualities – decent family background, influential backer, resources, et cetera – but she was lacking in the acting department. She was nothing more than a flower vase each time she was cast in a show.

Even now, people only remembered her in that supporting role she first appeared in.

She acted in another Qing drama last year. This time around, she was cast in the lead role as a capable and seductive empress. She depicted the character as a white lotus2. Lin Fengtian was unimpressed by such crude acting.

“Before this, Director Yan also wanted to promote another young, naïve model named Han. How can that girl be in my movie with her subpar abilities? Those investors know nothing about my films; do they really think it’s that easy for me to cast anyone they want?”

Mo Qi was getting nervous as he tried to persuade Lin Fengtian in vain.

Xiao Xue, who was watching from a distance, asked, “Shishi, what do you think they are talking about? Director Lin seems to be quite upset.”

“Not sure,” she replied. That was when she caught sight of a familiar figure.

He Lingxiang.

Everyone in the show business was familiar with He Lingxiang. He was well-known not for his films but for his notorious lifestyle, instead.

Rumors had it that he had powerful backing from the high society and could get whatever he wanted through unscrupulous means. Most entertainers took extra care not to offend him.

Many actresses, who would not hesitate to use sex to gain fame, would avoid him like the plague.

He was lewd and perverted. He inflicted his masochistic ways on numerous entertainers, male and female.

Yun Shishi even heard that he defiled the Miss World with a few mafia chiefs nine years ago. The poor lady lost her mind after that traumatic experience and found later on that she had contracted venereal disease through that. She sadly passed away two years after.

He Lingxiang used his typical tactics to suppress this shocking news, yet many insiders still came to know about this.

If an entertainer had no strong backer, he could get his hands on him or her.

What is he doing here? Is he trying to lay his hands on a naïve and inexperienced model with the excuse of officiating this audition?

He Lingxiang was jovial as he stepped out of the washroom with another producer. From their expression, it was apparent that they had accomplished what they had set out to achieve.

As they passed by the entrance, their attention was drawn to a few attractive girls standing next to them.

1. Flower vase – In China, it refers to an actress who looks pretty but cannot act. She is likened to a vase prop in a show.

2. White lotus – In China, it insinuates to an evil and unscrupulous woman who appears pure and chaste on the surface.
