Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luoluo stole Fang Nuan’s role as lead actress, and it was clearly Ling Jin’s doing. Obviously, Ling Jin looked after Luoluo and was good to her. 

“I helped you scam so much money out of Fang Nuan, but you didn’t even say thank you to me. Hmph!” Luoluo pouted and turned her head away, not looking at Du Jiuyuan. She seemed to be angry.

Ling Jin had tricked Fang Nuan, and she would no longer survive in the entertainment industry. Even if she signed a contract with Du Jiuyuan, she wouldn’t get the chance to have any styling done on her. 

Du Jiuyuan asked, “How should I thank you?”

“Erm, why don’t you become my personal stylist?” Luoluo suggested immediately as if she had thought about this since long ago.

Du Jiuyuan rolled her eyes and displayed her annoyance towards Luoluo. Luoluo realized her mistake. She was merely expressing her love for Du Jiuyuan.

“Don’t worry. If you have any financial troubles in the future, come and look for me. You can name the price. Just promise me that you won’t make other female celebrities look better than me!” The intensity of competition within the entertainment industry was very high, especially between female celebrities.

Luoluo looked harmless, but she truly cared about her welfare. This was somewhat acceptable. Du Jiuyuan thought for a while and said, “How about this? I promise you that when you have public events in the future, no other female celebrities will be more beautiful than you.”

Du Jiuyuan knew that it was rare for two female celebrities to attend the same event and use the same styling studio. Secondly, Luoluo was considered one of the top beauties in the entertainment industry, and Du Jiuyuan could make good on this promise.

“You finally have a conscience!” Luoluo said gratefully, almost wiping away her tears.

“I have it all along. Have you just realized it?” Du Jiuyuan said. 

“Hehe, all beautiful women have their quirks. Sigh! After accepting the role as the main actress, I will be on the entertainment leader board. 

“Earlier, Brother Yang sent me a WeChat message and told me I’ll be in closed-door training for a while starting from the day after tomorrow, and then I’ll join the crew to begin shooting.” Luoluo, who had been cheering and jumping in joy earlier, suddenly sighed.

Although she said that, Luoluo also understood that accepting the lead actress role was beneficial. The other actresses in the drama were also beautiful, while the director had won quite a few awards. Moreover, there were a lot of stylists in the crew, so Du Jiuyuan was not needed.

“What? Can’t you get your makeup done by the crew? Don’t worry. I’ll extend the contract for you when you enter the crew.” Stylists had been in the crew for several months, so Du Jiuyuan would not take advantage of this.

“You’re the best!” Luoluo was about to pounce on Du Jiuyuan and hug her.

“I could have taken in a few more female celebrities if you’re not here,” Du Jiuyuan said half-jokingly. Luoluo was speechless. 

Brother Yang called to urge Luoluo to come back. After all, the closed-door training would start the day after tomorrow, and she still needed to prepare some things. Luoluo reluctantly left Yuan Hua Studio.

…

Luoluo joined the film crew, while Du Jiuyuan did not remain idle. Her master called her and said she had found two potential team candidates. She asked Du Jiuyuan to make an appointment to meet them. This was also why Du Jiuyuan had not sent out any job advertisements.

The people on the Internet were of unknown background, and their talents were difficult to measure. After making an appointment, Du Jiuyuan took on another two celebrities for a single appearance. These two celebrities were interested in the fame of Yuan Hua Studio, but they did not have much money, so they could only use the studio’s services once.

However, they were on the hot searches of social media after being styled by Du Jiuyuan, and they received their fame in exchange for the amount of money they paid.

He Lili felt that their price could be slightly adjusted. After all, many celebrities had second thoughts upon finding out the price they needed to pay to have Yuan Hua Studio’s services.

Du Jiuyuan disagreed. If the price were set very low initially, they would attract criticism when they raise their price in the future. It was better to take the high-end route from the beginning, where the price would be displayed for all to see. 

After being on the hot searches, they would not be afraid that celebrities would not come for their services. This was especially true for celebrities but had no sense of fashion. They would choose Yuan Hua Studio.

This time, He Lili was convinced. She felt that what Du Jiuyuan said was true.

…

Du Jiuyuan’s side was proceeding orderly, but Fang Nuan was in trouble. Not only did she lose the role she received in exchange for sleeping with the producer, but she also lost most of her endorsements. Most importantly, the Fang family had fallen from grace, and their family name was no longer respected.

At this time, the media exposed her history of fame, and many people discussed it. They dug out her background and started boycotting the Fang family’s brand.

The Fang family had already suffered a blow, to begin with. Now that their sales in major shopping malls had dropped too, they were facing a crisis of bankruptcy..
