Chapter 132: Only a Relationship of Interest
That night, on the Internet, Bai Rong posted a message about her hospitalization on her Weibo account. She said with tears in her eyes that her carelessness had caused her child to be lost.
After posting this message, Bai Rong looked at Mu Chen with a pale face.
“Brother Mu Chen, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time? I just didn’t want my acting career to end because of the child. It was also for the good of the company.”
In the past, as long as she shed a few tears pitifully, Mu Chen would have given everything he had to make himself happy.
But today…
Mu Chen was not moved at all. His face was ashen.
“For the good of the company? Fang Mo’er was right. If the company was not trying to support you, the development of the company would be even better now!”
Bai Rong’s expression froze and she stopped crying. “Right now, I’m the company’s living brand. You can’t just give up on me like this.”
Mu Chen clenched his fists. Bai Rong was right. The company had already put in a lot of effort to support Bai Rong. If they gave up on her now, the company really would not have any outstanding artistes.
It was all because of the heavy allocation of resources in her favor back then.
“From now on, we will only have a relationship of business interest between you and me!” After Mu Chen said this, he turned around and left without hesitation.
He had been looking forward to the birth of the child which he could use as a bargaining chip for him to gain a foothold in the Mu family. Perhaps the old man would have been so happy that he would give him a portion of the company’s shares.
He had not expected…
Bai Rong had actually aborted the child behind his back.
Bai Rong’s actions had caused him to lose hundreds of millions of dollars!
He was already very merciful by not killing Bai Rong on the spot.
Suddenly, Mu Chen thought of Fang Mo’er, who had always adored him.
If it had been Fang Mo’er who was pregnant, she would definitely have been reluctant to let anything happen to the child.
How could her career be more important than his?
On the other side.
Fang Mo’er was in an extremely good mood in the study.
She routinely opened the anime website and posted the new content of her manga.
Since the update of “High Monk, Please Follow Me!”, half of the plot had already been completed.
The reaction of the readers was very enthusiastic. This manga had dominated the top of the anime website for three months in a row.
Fang Mo’er’s pen name was Xiao Fang.
Such an unremarkable pen name had already caused many manga fans to make guesses about the real identity of this artist.
Even the manga editor had contacted Fang Mo’er several times to ask her to hold a fan meeting, but Fang Mo’er had rejected all of them on the grounds that she was too busy.
Although Fang Mo’er was very happy to write this manga, the content of the manga still made her feel a little ashamed due to the multitude of melodramatic scenes in it.
She just had not expected the netizens to like this kind of plot so much.
After Fang Mo’er had finished updating her work, she thought to herself that no matter what, she could not let others know that she was the one who had drawn this manga.
Shen Yue called Fang Mo’er over to the company.
“The new actor rankings will be starting in less than half a month! I will help you increase your popularity during this period of time.” Shen Yue allowed Fang Mo’er to see her current popularity ranking.
Only newly-debuted actors could participate in this ranking. Every actor could only participate once in their lifetime.
Coincidentally, Fang Mo’er was an actress who had debuted this year.
Fang Mo’er saw that her popularity was in second place on the ranking. Even Bai Rong was on the ranking, but Bai Rong was in fifth place.
The person in first place was Huang Yi, an artist from an entertainment company that was rivals with Star Dream Era.
Huang Yi had been the second female lead in the television drama “The Peach Blossom is Still” with Lang Qi.
She had been given the second female lead role in a television drama the moment she had debuted. It was obvious how much importance Tomorrow Entertainment company had placed on Huang Yi tomorrow.
Shen Yue said, “This ranking depends on the fame of the actors. It never depends on their acting skills. So as long as your popularity grows during this period of time, you might still be able to take first place in this new talent ranking.”
This ranking was a ruthless data machine. There was once a year when a very popular artist, who had also been blacklisted, had taken first place. All that mattered was that the actress was popular. As long as they attracted a huge amount of traffic, they would still be able to take this ranking.
Fang Mo’er was surprised, “What’s the point of taking such a ranking?”
Shen Yue said, “This is a stepping stone for you to become a newcomer. If you want to win a Best Actress award, you have to have this award. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait another three years before you can participate again in the Best Actress Award category.”
Fang Mo’er nodded. “Quickly tell me, how can I increase my popularity?”
“This is actually a well-known secret in the industry. This is currently the most popular rural reality show. If you participate in the latest episode, the popularity of this episode might allow you to win first place. Of course, if you do participate, the other companies won’t be stupid. It might be that the first-place winner will also participate in this show.”
This reality show is called “Life in the Country”
The show was about experiencing life in the country.
