The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

Finally, as if remembering something, the system reminded me: "Host, after I leave, be careful in everything you do. If you want to return to the Jiang family in the future, be sure to be careful of some people."

"Jiang Ke?" Yan Yueqing had already discussed this person with Jun Li.

The system hummed in agreement: "This world is different from the past. Her current power may not be as great as it was in the world where you were, where you could control everything. Yet she dared to make a move against you in this world beforehand. Is it because she is highly skilled and daring, or is she supported by other forces? The situation of the Jiang family may not be as simple as you imagine. Be careful, host."

Please... don't let the two owners' years of hard work go to waste.

Yan Yueqing carefully wrote it down: "Yes, I've remembered it all. Thank you, Tongbao." She bit her lip and finally spoke her heart, "Take care on your way back. If it happens in the future... I will always look forward to the day we meet again."

The system's voice was clearly choked with emotion.

"I also hope to return to my host's side." He paused, then his tone returned to its previous formality, "Host, may your future be bright and your path be filled with success. Goodbye."

As its words fell, Yan Yueqing felt a lightness in her head, as if something important, with substantial weight, was telling her—

"I have gone far away, please do not worry."

Suddenly, Yan Yueqing's eyes reddened.

From the moment she woke up, the system had been by her side, giving her direction and strength when she had no idea what was going on.

That kind of companionship cannot be described by ordinary feelings.

Sending it away suddenly, she felt not only reluctant, but also as if she had lost something important.

I feel empty inside...

She looked at the little doll icon on the desktop, took a deep breath, and told herself: Don't be a sentimental person, make good use of what Tongbao left behind, so as not to let it down.

Yan Yueqing's fingers hovered over the keyboard. She pressed the button to access the memory area and began searching:
Ji Li.

As each entry popped up, she couldn't help but frown.

These are all things that Ji Li from another world once did...

After a busy afternoon, Li Manman called back just before dinner.

She answered the phone: "Manman, I heard you're planning to retire from the entertainment industry?"

On the phone, Li Manman sounded tired: "Yeah, Director Tang told you? I knew it, I couldn't hide it from you."

Yan Yueqing asked directly, "What's the reason?"

“I can’t become a stain on Zhongxing’s reputation,” Li Manman replied sincerely. “Recently, a group of people have been targeting Zhongxing. Since they can’t dig up any dirt on the company, they’ve started digging into Zhongxing’s artists. You know, about me and Chairman Yang… Although you’ve tried to cover these things up for me, nothing stays hidden forever. Once this gets out, the reputation that Zhongxing has worked so hard to build up through the drug test will be ruined again…”

"If that's the case, it's not a big deal, as we've discussed before." Yan Yueqing said bluntly, "You didn't choose to leave when Zhongxing was in its most troublesome time. Isn't making this decision today a bit hasty?"

Li Manman sighed on the other end of the phone: "President Yue, times have changed. My affair with Chairman Yang isn't like other legal matters where you have to back down once it's exposed! Legally, it's not a big problem, but morally... sigh... any topic that gets tainted with sex scandals will always cause a lot of discussion..."

I don't care what netizens say, I'm just afraid that some people will use me as a starting point to create a crack in the seemingly impenetrable Zhongxing Group. In the future, when people talk about Zhongxing, will they think, "Since they could even take in someone as morally corrupt as Li Manman, won't others also do bad things under the guise of justice and innocence?" Not to mention the distant future, will all the female stars of Zhongxing be suspected of having been to drinking parties and entertaining executives because of me?
"Mr. Yue, I understand you want to give me a chance, and I've tried to let go of this... but... precisely because I care so much about the stars, I can't let myself become a stain on their legacy! I can't let everyone's hard work go to waste because of me. If we're going to screen, then we should screen thoroughly!"

Yan Yueqing fell silent after hearing his passionate words.

To be honest, she never imagined that one day, Li Manman, who prioritized profit, would say these things to her.
The entertainment industry is like a big dye vat; very few people can enter cleanly and leave unscathed.

Women already have it tough in this world, let alone in a place like the entertainment industry.

They have their own difficulties and predicaments.

That's why Yan Yueqing was willing to give Li Manman a chance.

Unexpectedly, after feeling the warmth of the stars, she would make such a reciprocal gesture of support and protection.

With a dry throat, Yan Yueqing was at a loss for words.
Within a day, the system left, and Li Manman also chose to leave.

It's like watching a large-scale ensemble film where everyone gathers together for a lively time, and then, towards the end, they all go their separate ways...

A strong sense of loneliness washed over her, making her feel somewhat sad.

Fortunately, this emo mood didn't last long. Yan Yueqing quickly came to her senses and asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

Li Manman suddenly perked up: "As long as I step down from the front lines and stop appearing on screen, even if they want to dig up dirt on me, they won't be able to catch up with the latest developments! After I told you, I'll post a statement on Weibo tonight and catch them off guard."

After that, I plan to travel for a while. I've saved up some money over the years, so it'll be good to broaden my horizons. Later on, I might go back to work for Zhongxing, but in some other capacity. As long as I'm not a celebrity, I don't think anyone will be chasing after me anymore! When that happens, I'll have to rely on Yue Zong to give me a backdoor interview!

The words were well said, but Yan Yueqing sensed a hint of farewell in them.

After Li Manman's departure, she will most likely never touch anyone or anything related to the entertainment industry again.

She's completely disappeared from the public eye. Even if people want to use Li Manman against her in the future, it's all in the past and won't cause any trouble.

This gesture was incredibly thoughtful!

Yan Yueqing was touched by her efforts and replied with a smile, "What a coincidence, I have quite a few businesses. If you'd like, even if you don't return to Zhongxing, you can check out my other companies. There's bound to be a suitable place for you."

Li Manman covered her mouth happily: "Is President Yue going to reserve a spot for me? Hahaha, okay, then I'll gladly accept!"

After saying that, she sincerely said, "Perfect timing. I want to use this opportunity to think carefully about what I'm really better suited for. Don't worry, Mr. Yue, we'll see each other again soon." "Looking forward to seeing you again."

Li Manman acted swiftly and decisively. Less than a minute after hanging up the phone with Yan Yueqing, she updated her Weibo.

@Li Manman: Thank you to the company for its guidance, thank you to my friends for their help, and thank you to my fans for their support. I'm retiring from the entertainment industry~~~ May I walk a longer and more beautiful path in the future~~~
To be honest, Li Manman is not a top-tier celebrity, but she has accumulated quite a few fans.

The announcement of his retirement from the entertainment industry was released so quickly that it caught his rivals off guard, and even his fans were completely bewildered.

Many people left messages on Weibo, crying and begging Li Manman not to leave.

Some people deliberately stirred up trouble, starting to speculate on conspiracy theories.

In a bar, a chubby man dressed casually smashed his glass in anger after seeing this Weibo post.

"Damn it!! I spent a fortune to buy this evidence, and I was going to catch everyone off guard tomorrow. Who knew this woman would dare to turn the tables on me?!"

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, don't be angry. He's just a third-rate actor. He's retired from the industry, so what? That evidence... it doesn't really have much impact on the stars..."

"Get lost! Is that what matters? What matters is my money!!"

A wicked glint flashed in the fat man's eyes, burning with intense jealousy and hatred.

"Li Manman, you dare to scheme against me? Fine, fine, you wanted to retire from the entertainment industry? With so many stars protecting you, you're going to become an ordinary person? Watch how I destroy you!"

The person who was drinking with him felt a chill run down their spine upon hearing this.

Ber, Mr. Liu and Li Manman, what kind of deep-seated grudge do they have...?

He subconsciously became even more afraid of President Liu. He was afraid that if something happened to him in the future, he might end up in a worse situation than Li Manman.
Regardless, Li Manman's retirement from the entertainment industry is a foregone conclusion.

Many celebrities shared the post, wishing Li Manman all the best in seeing more beautiful scenery and meeting better people in the future.

This matter is temporarily concluded.

The next day, Yan Yueqing and Director Tang went to the film and television base early in the morning for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The trip was decided on short notice, very suddenly.

However, Director Tang had already prepared everything; the media, publicity, and even the people from the Monthly Project had all come over.

It's okay if you can't capture the daily lives of cute kids, you can at least capture my Yue Da Da (a nickname for a popular celebrity), right?
P City has two famous attractions – Hundred Beasts Mountain and Little Deer Ridge.

Judging from their names, you can tell that they all use animals as the main attractions for their development.

Located north of P City, Hundred Beasts Mountain boasts a very high altitude. As you ascend from the foot of the mountain, you'll witness countless thriving creatures. White cranes soar through the sea of ​​clouds, nimble monkeys leap gracefully across ancient trees, and occasionally, you can spot the nationally protected sika deer, strolling through the forest in the morning dew, accompanied by the melodious calls of various birds—it's like a fairyland.

The boardwalks and viewing platforms there are built along the mountainside without damaging a single tree or blade of grass. The winding bluestone paths intertwine with the roots of ancient trees, forming a natural whole; the suspended corridor bridge spans the deep ravine, with clouds and mist passing through it, like a ladder to heaven; all facilities are separated by natural barriers, allowing visitors to catch a glimpse of rare birds and animals without disturbing their carefree lives.

In comparison, Little Deer Ridge, located southwest of P City, is slightly less impressive.

Its altitude is not that high, and the terrain is relatively flat. There are no sika deer on this mountain; you can only see some wild deer and other small animals. Although they are cute, they are not as exciting and lively as Hundred Beasts Mountain.

P City is quite large, and these two mountains are located to the south and north, nearly 100 kilometers apart. People who come here because of their fame will definitely not be able to visit both mountains in a short time. If the trip is short, they will have to make a choice.

Hundred Beasts Mountain is high up; climbing the whole mountain without a sore back the next day would be a miracle! And if I heard that Little Deer Ridge is only inhabited by deer and other small animals, even if the scenery is beautiful, I probably wouldn't want to come.

After all, while Little Deer Ridge isn't as high as Hundred Beasts Mountain, it covers more than twice the area. A thorough visit would take at least two days.

Moreover, the most famous attraction at Xiaoluling is the "Cloud-Viewing Pavilion" at the summit. This entirely wooden structure with upturned eaves blends seamlessly with the mountain scenery. Climbing here offers a panoramic view of the surging sea of ​​clouds, as if one were in a fairyland. However, due to altitude limitations, viewing the sea of ​​clouds from the Cloud-Viewing Pavilion requires specific times of year. Unlike Baishou Mountain, where simply climbing to the summit guarantees a spectacular view of rising clouds and the sun rising over a sea of ​​clouds.

Taking all factors into consideration, most tourists visit Hundred Beasts Mountain.

seven in the morning.

The winding mountain road of Xiaoluling resembles a gray ribbon wrapped around the verdant mountains, with many vehicles gracefully climbing along it. Even during peak tourist season, there isn't usually this much traffic, let alone the numerous luxury cars weaving in and out of the road.

Among them, the most eye-catching was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, whose 6.75-liter V12 engine emitted a deep and restrained roar, like a tamed beast ready to unleash its surging power at any moment.

The mountain road was quite steep, but Yan Yueqing felt no bumps at all while sitting inside. Rolls-Royce's signature Magic Carpet Suspension system completely filtered out the unevenness of the road surface, leaving only a smooth ride that made her drowsy.

The weather was a bit chilly. Through the window, she saw Little Deer Ridge shrouded in mist, like a splashed-ink painting, appearing and disappearing in the morning light. The plants and trees were all imbued with a magical charm, and the various flowers and plants flashed by like jewels and diamonds adorning a carpet, looking extremely delightful.

While driving, Jun Jiu discussed the development details: "President Yue, the film and television base mainly features ancient-style buildings from the Republican era. When selecting a site, I specifically inspected several scenic spots. Originally, I most wanted to negotiate with Hundred Beasts Mountain, but after a week of negotiations with the secretary there, we still couldn't reach an agreement..."

Yan Yueqing reviewed the documents: "As the largest source of revenue for tourism in P City, Hundred Beasts Mountain will certainly not easily agree to other commercialization measures."

Building film and television bases may seem to boost the economy, but the problem is that large-scale constructions on them may clash with the natural scenery, which is a minor issue compared to the damage to the original ecosystem.

Even with the Jun family's reputation, the county officials still seriously discussed the matter for a week. After all, the investment in building a film and television base is enormous! They didn't immediately take a bite of this huge opportunity that was offered to them, but instead gave it up after much consideration, which shows how much the local government values ​​Hundred Beasts Mountain.

“Yes.” Jun Jiu turned the steering wheel along the mountain road, his eyes showing appreciation for the secretary. “However, he was still reluctant to give up this investment. After several meetings, he discussed with me including Xiaoluling in the site selection list.”

Ironically, Little Deer Ridge used to be a scenic spot with abundant flora and fauna, its ecological environment not much worse than that of Hundred Beasts Mountain. However, over thirty years ago, a high-ranking official there was bribed to approve a plot of flat land on Little Deer Ridge for the construction and sale of a high-end villa complex. The land had just been cleared of vegetation and the foundation laid when environmental protection policies were introduced, forcing the project to halt immediately! Not long after, the official was also placed under investigation, suffering a double loss. (End of Chapter)
