Kapitel 12: 012 was full of difficulties

Autor: You Yi Machinenübersetzung

Fourth-year students were known for being either hardworking or lazy. Some people had no classes, no internships, and spent a year on their final project because they were idle. But many did find a job, often in an office, and began to work. Unfortunately for them, they were often paid less than regular employees.

The Jiang Xiwan that had preceded her in this body would definitely have belonged to the hardworking group. In the previous three years of her education, she had taken many busy courses and worked part-time every day to earn some living expenses.

One of her teachers had recommended her for the summer internship at the television station. Almost every day she left her home early and returned in the night. She had been a conscientious and busy worker.

After the chandelier fell on Xiwan's head, nobody at the station said anything, but it was clear that in their hearts, they disliked her. The concept of feng shui was important in a place like this. If something happened, the most important factor was bad luck. Whether or not the person was injured came second. The lighting technician was responsible for the accident, but Xiwan was also angry with the manager of the television station. They waited until after Xiwan recovered to inform her that she would not continue with her internship at the station, but they had given her an 'A' for her internship. All for the sake of maintaining a good image, of course.

Xiwan had initially thought of using the television station as a stepping stone to get to the entertainment industry, but it seemed impossible now.

In her former life, she had ended up in the entertainment by coincidence. She was eighteen when she was selected, with Su Nuanyu, by talent scouts. After that, she took the supporting role in a prominent director's film and became popular. However, in the entertainment industry, where beautiful girls and handsome stars were updated day and night like social media posts, she was only a flash in the pan.

Her career moved slowly for the first year. She played some small roles, cannon fodder mainly. It was enough to make a name for herself in the public eye and earn enough money for her lifestyle and college tuition. Initially, she thought that she would be able to support herself easily. However, unexpectedly, at the end of the company's annual meeting, it came down to her or Su Nuanyu... Well, the producer favored Jiang Xiwan, and the assistant director wanted her best friend...

The producer was fat and pig-headed. He tried to cheat on her, but he came out of it with his face covered in blood. They fought, badly, and only then did she truly wake up. As a beautiful female star, you had to keep a lot of people happy if you wanted your image to stay clean.

That was how the saying went, 'If you try to avoid trouble, trouble will come to you.'

And to get rid of this trouble, you had to have a rich or powerful family.

Armed with either to back you up, as long as you weren't a completely useless person, you can make it in the entertainment industry like a fish in water.

So, in her previous life, she found support and managed to solve the commotion caused by the producer. That made her and Su Nuanyu's career in the entertainment industry run more smoothly.

She was ashamed of her actions, but she had reached the end of her rope. She had risked everything and eventually found a bright path at the end of the darkness. It helped, of course, that Lin Xi was rich and handsome. The journey from then on was smooth. She progressed quickly to the top, and was truly famous. Soon she was winning many prestigious awards for best actress, both at home and abroad.

But that had been ten years ago...

If the entertainment circle ten years ago was a muddy puddle, now it was a murky swamp.

There was an old saying, 'Too little porridge cannot feed too many monks.' But still, there were many people who did not know the situation, and were still swarming, eagerly trying to get in.

Back in the present, however, the current her was a regular student. She had no identity, background, or connections. It would be difficult for her to get into the industry again.

Although she had accumulated a lot of connections, she had been 'dead' for three months.

Thinking that all these connections would now belong to Su Nuanyu, she felt even more resentful.

'Su Nuanyu,' she thought, 'just you wait.'
