The Entertainment Industry in Turmoil: Young Actresses All Want to Rise to the Top

Even after sitting in the back seat of Shen Mo's black sedan, Bai Mengyan still felt a little dizzy, as if her head was covered in a layer of paste.

She seemed to have attended a high-class social event, but it also seemed like she did nothing and didn't understand anything.

Throughout the entire process, Shen Mo and Wang Changtian seemed to be praising each other in the first half, with one praising the other's good judgment and the other praising the other's strong abilities, leaving her completely confused.

The second half went straight into "incomprehensible language mode." You could understand each sentence individually, but you couldn't understand them when they were put together, just like playing a riddle.

What puzzled her most was that on several occasions, the two of them steered the conversation towards her.

"This Ms. Bai has a great image and a unique temperament, which is very suitable for the current entertainment industry."

"I've heard of 'Running Man', it's a very popular variety show. Bai Xiaojie You Mohen's drama 'A Little Reunion' is about to be released, if she also appears on this show, her future will be limitless."

"Perhaps in the future, our fiber optics and ink stains will have the opportunity to collaborate with Miss Bai!"

Every time she heard this, Bai Mengyan could only force a standard smile, while inwardly she was ranting and raving.

Cooperation?

I don't even have a single decent work, so what's the point of collaborating with me?

How about we collaborate on a photo album?

Moreover, all they said was that there was a chance, but there was no concrete information about what kind of cooperation it would involve. It was all empty promises and polite words!

She originally thought this "socializing" would be the same as the last time: singing songs, drinking, and chatting.

As a result, she was on edge throughout the meal; there were only three people present, so she couldn't even slip away.

They had to maintain their composure, try to understand those enigmatic conversations, and deal with the sudden "attention."

It's even more tiring than training for eight hours straight at the company!

A wave of mental exhaustion washed over me.

Bai Mengyan leaned back in the comfortable leather seat, just relaxing her nerves after a tense night, when fatigue washed over her like a tide.

Unconsciously, she searched for a more comfortable position, her body tilting slightly...

It wasn't until the vehicle turned and her head tilted due to inertia that she suddenly snapped back to reality!

To her surprise, she found herself tightly embracing Shen Mo's arm without even realizing it!

And her head was resting on his shoulder perfectly naturally!

sky!!!

When did it start?!

How come she has absolutely no recollection of this?!

I actually... dared to be so bold?!

A surge of heat rushed to her cheeks, and she instinctively tried to push away.

However, she secretly glanced at Shen Mo out of the corner of her eye.

He remained seated, calmly watching the undulating traffic ahead, seemingly oblivious to her "overstepping" reliance on him, and showing no intention of pushing her away.

Bai Mengyan's heartbeat seemed to have been injected with stimulants, and it began to race wildly.

He...he didn't stop it?

Did he acquiesce?

This realization was like a sweet electric current, instantly coursing through my body and dispelling my panic and shyness.

Hehehe...

Since Brother Mo didn't say anything, then... I'll just pretend I didn't notice either!

Yes, I must have been too tired and accidentally leaned against it without even realizing it!

She had found the perfect excuse for herself in her mind, then carefully lowered her breathing and maintained her original posture.

She even went so far as to gently rub her head against his shoulder, finding a more comfortable position, and then closed her eyes again.

The cool scent of his body lingered around my nose, I could hear his steady breathing, and felt the warmth of his body as my arms embraced me…

All the fatigue and confusion from the social engagements seemed to be dispelled by this sudden sense of support.

At that moment, she felt incredibly at ease and secretly delighted.

Then... lean on it for a little while longer, just a little while.

She secretly curled the corners of her mouth into a smile, a smile as content as if she had stolen a piece of candy, blooming from an angle where no one could see it. (The author, in principle, depends on her mood, and is waiting for you with "The Shura Field of Chinese Entertainment: All the Young Actresses Want to Climb to the Top").

At first, Bai Mengyan leaned against it cautiously, but gradually, her little thoughts slowly turned into longing.

Unconsciously, she hugged him tighter and tighter, burying her face almost completely in the fabric of his arm, even rubbing against him unconsciously, greedily inhaling his scent.

Shen Mo was well aware of her subtle actions.

At first, he could pretend not to know, but as the girl became more and more "outrageous," he could no longer ignore her.

"Thump."

A light tap landed on Bai Mengyan's head. It didn't hurt, but it was enough to wake her from her half-dazed state.

Her body stiffened, and a sense of panic and grievance welled up inside her. Just as she was wondering what to do, she heard Shen Mo's voice from above.

"Stop pretending to be asleep, you're getting my clothes all wet with your drool."

Bai Mengyan, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes. Forgetting all about manners, she quickly moved closer to Shen Mo's arm and carefully examined it.

I looked around several times, and apart from the wrinkles she made, there was no trace of drool.

He wasn't angry at all; he was clearly teasing her.

Looking at her embarrassed and annoyed expression, Shen Mo recalled her eagerness to come and "take care" of him in the office, and the soft spot in his heart seemed to be gently touched again.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to actually push her away.

"No need to pretend to be asleep," he said, his tone softening, with an almost indulgent calm.

"Go ahead and lean on me if you want."

As he spoke, before Bai Mengyan could react, he tightened his grip on the arm she had been holding for so long, not by pulling away.

Instead, he gently pulled her closer to him, making her more comfortable against his side.

Bai Mengyan's heart raced again at his sudden action, her cheeks flushed, but her body honestly followed his force and snuggled closer to him again.

Not only did he not blame her, but he also... even let her lean on him!

Once she had settled back into her seat, Shen Mo spoke again.

"Wang Changtian wasn't just saying that; he wasn't just making empty promises."

Bai Mengyan immediately perked up her ears.

"After a while, finish filming 'A Little Reunion' and recording 'Running Man' as I've arranged for you."

"Once the program preparation begins, fiber optics has a strong publicity channel, and they will assist us with the publicity."

"This is what I promised you: to give you a superstar path that is different from SM Entertainment."

He glanced at her sideways and smiled slightly.

"Besides the fact that he needed something from me, the fact that he paid attention to you beforehand also shows that you have a good foundation."

"His kindness towards you is an investment. He sees potential in you and believes that Mohen can elevate you to a high enough position."

"Once the show airs, if you perform exceptionally well, Fiber Optics will naturally propose deeper collaborations, such as joint promotions, customized variety shows, or even resource exchanges for film and television dramas."

Bai Mengyan listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion, but she roughly understood that the reason she received Wang Changtian's attention and promises today was because of the projects and resources in Mo Ge's hands, because she had the powerful backer Mohen.

The reason why I, an undebuted trainee, am receiving such attention is simply because I am the only "outsider" among the three people present today.

A feeling of being treated with great respect welled up within her, and Bai Mengyan suddenly felt a sense of relief, relieved by her impulsiveness and by Shen Mo's doting and tolerant nature.

She looked up at Shen Mo's sharply defined jawline, her heart filled with a tremendous sense of security and dependence.

It turns out that he brought her here not so that she could pour him drinks or feed him snacks, but to help her build connections with industry giants, let her see the rules of the game beforehand, and pave the way for her.

"Oh……"

She responded softly, pressing her head closer to his shoulder, her voice low but filled with undisguised joy and reassurance.

"I understand, Brother Mo."
