The Side Character's Hidden Boss!
Chapter 144 - Fight for It
At the same time, Nie Li was being interrogated by the police. Many people suspected that she was behind Zhuang Xin’s death.
Some media dug out the close relationship between Zhuang Xin and President Zhan. Perhaps this was Nie Li’s way to climb to the top.
“I told you, I really don’t know anything about this.” Nie Li glanced at the officer who sat opposite her and then at the ID picture of a young woman. She explained calmly, “This girl’s name is Song Yuan and her stage name is Lou Yan. She is a newcomer at our company and has been showing great promise. It is company policy to promote whoever that is famous at the moment, that is common sense. It is why she was offered to act in a TV drama series.
“Beyond that, I don’t know anything else about her. It is the company higher ups that decide her career trajectory, not me.”
…
That was what Nie Li said but she couldn’t help but reminded of that day…
Zhuang Xin was sitting with her manager in the meeting room. She stared at Lou Yan’s picture and demanded, “Why can she have so many good opportunities? Is it because she is President Zhan’s latest toy?”
What Zhuang Xin and her manager didn’t know was Nie Li was in the surveillance room. Nie Li sat there to observe and listen.
“But Miss Zhuang Xin, you still have 6 livestream activities and 3 product release online events this week.” Zhuang Xin’s manager handed over the event document. Zhuang Xin only took a glance at them before she flew into a rage. Zhuang Xin slammed the papers right into her manager’s face. “Why are my schedule filled with online engagements? I want to star in movies and dramas!”
The shivering manager picked up the scattered papers one by one. She looked at Zhuang Xin but didn’t know how to console her.
Nie Li switched on the speaker button in the surveillance room and she announced her presence by laughing. This woman is truly an actor because she has been playing the character of ‘Zhuang Xin’ every day of her life.
Zhuang Xin recognized Nie Li’s voice and she growled, “If you dare, come to the meeting room in person. Why are you eavesdropping on us?”
“Miss Zhuang Xin, have you forgotten that you made you debut as an online celebrity? On the other hand, this Lou Yan is a professional actor and she hasn’t taken a knife to her face either so naturally the TV drama producers are more likely to pick her over you.” Nie Li continued to push her buttons.
“What do you mean by that?” Zhuang Xin glared at the camera, like she wanted to drag Nie Li out from behind it.
“I mean you are greatly influential on the world wide web, therefore you’re the perfect candidate to endorse our company’s online celebrity cultivation project.”
Zhuang Xin almost hissed out the following, “Stop playing Tai Chi with me. I need to be more than a mere internet celebrity! I want to be on big budget movies. True celebrities earn their exposures from participating in movies and TV dramas.”
“Of course, you’re right.” Nie Li almost bent over from laughter. “It’s great that you have such ambitions, speaking of which…” Nie Li then made her tone serious and ordered, “You, the manager, please vacate the room. I have something to discuss with Zhuang Xin.”
The manager glanced at the camera and quickly shuffled out.
“Why did you send her out? Nie Li! What shameful things are you up to this time?”
Back in the surveillance room, Nie Li answered, “Certain things are not meant for everyone’s ears. Furthermore, if too many people know about this, it’s not good for you either.”
“You… What are you trying to say?”
“I just wish to tell you that I can introduce you to some people I know if you really want to join a movie production. However, whether your face will end up in a movie poster in the end, that will depend on how hard you’re willing to fight for it.”
