My capital is quite large.

In the film set of Xiapi Film City in Xuzhou, the intense spotlights were somewhat dazzling.

Chen Duling was wearing a slightly worn-out Japanese school uniform, sitting on a rattan chair in the rest area, holding a hot water bottle in his hands, looking somewhat dazed.

Lately, she has been feeling rather complicated. She has also been unable to get into character while filming on set, often staring blankly into space.

She looked down at herself with a touch of self-mockery.

She was the one who caught the man's eye first, but in the end, it was her usual best friend who got to be with him that Li Feng took a liking to.

If he lost to Tian Xiwei, Chen Duling would feel a pang of jealousy, but he could still understand.

After all, Tian Meimei's figure and bust size are far superior to her rather thin frame.

But what gives Zhang Ruonan the right to do this?

In terms of scale, Zhang Ruonan is not even as big as herself.

But sometimes, luck and fate are more mysterious than anything else.

Chen Duling sighed deeply in his heart, telling himself: It seems that he still needs to calm down and wait for the next opportunity.

That being said, watching his good friend Tian Xiwei receive favors one night and then immediately land the lead role in the group's annual blockbuster drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" the next day.

Meanwhile, he could only work on low-budget, low-budget films like "Operation Proposal".

In the end, an indescribable sense of loss inevitably welled up in her heart.

"Next time...the next time we meet, I'll make sure that man sees me again."

Chen Duling gripped the cup in his hand, secretly hardening his resolve.

......

Meanwhile, in a quiet tea room on the eleventh floor of the Xiangjiang Grand Hotel.

Zhang Yuxi, who had just landed in Hong Kong, was standing in front of the coffee table with her head down, looking timid and hesitant.

On the rattan chair opposite her, Zhang Xinyu was slowly washing a teacup, her delicate face clouded with gloom.

"Tell me, why did you put Zhang Tianai on that day's list?"

Zhang Xinyu slammed the teacup down on the table with a crisp sound, her beautiful fox-like eyes filled with sternness and questioning.

Facing this respected senior figure who had stepped down from the limelight but remained authoritative, Zhang Yuxi murmured in defense:

"Sister Zhang, I... I didn't mean anything by it."

"I just saw how hard Tianai has worked all these years, and I wanted to give her a chance to turn her life around..."

"Chance?!"

Hearing this childish reason, Zhang Xinyu was so angry she laughed, and then, with a hint of exasperation, she scolded her sharply:

"Where in this world do you find so many opportunities?!"

"You gave her a chance today, but have you considered the possibility of offending the boss and having someone else give Zhang Yuxi a chance?"

"You really think he wouldn't notice your little tricks?!"

Zhang Xinyu stared intently at her, her words like knives:

"You tried to make decisions for him again and again."

"Zhang Yuxi, you're tired of having such a good life and want him to replace you too, is that it?!"

"Foolish!!"

Zhang Yuxi was struck dumb by Zhang Xinyu's harsh reprimand.

Suddenly, I recalled that day at the lakeside of the Summer Palace, when Li Feng was selecting kneaded toys, and his gaze swept over Zhang Tianai's awkward face with that indifferent look that seemed to be a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Yuxi was awakened by Zhang Xinyu's words, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

I was terrified.

An overwhelming sense of lingering fear gradually consumed her.

Zhang Xinyu was absolutely right—that man actually knew everything!

He was simply too lazy to expose her, and just watched coldly as she tested his bottom line and loyalty.

If she really crosses that red line, the consequences...

"Sister Zhang... I was wrong, I really know I was wrong." Zhang Yuxi quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

Looking at the successor she had personally mentored, who was sometimes too soft-hearted and gentle, a hint of helplessness flashed in Zhang Xinyu's eyes.

"The position of Chief Secretary in the President's Office that you're sitting in right now is a dream job for countless people."

"Outside, how many eyes are watching you, hoping you'll make a mistake and fall?!"

Zhang Yuxi was eager to explain:

"Sister Zhang, after all, Tian Ai and I back then..."

"Shut up!"

Zhang Xinyu didn't give her a chance to speak, and warned her sternly:

"The higher you climb, the colder it gets."

"If you really feel tired of this position, I can easily replace you with someone else."

"Haofeng has no shortage of clever people who want to rise to power."

Upon hearing the word "replace," Zhang Yuxi shuddered violently. Without even a second of hesitation or thought, she instinctively cried out in a trembling voice:

"Sister Xinyu! I'm not tired! And I will never be soft-hearted again!"

......

Are you kidding me?

Before meeting Zhang Xinyu and Li Feng, Zhang Yuxi was just a low-level actress who had to smile obsequiously for even a minor role.

If Zhang hadn't handed over the position of head housekeeper to her, her potential in this life would never have been much better than Zhang Tianai's.

Now, she holds immense power within the entire Haofeng Group, making it no exaggeration to say that she is "second only to the leader and above all others."

Even those financial tycoons with assets worth billions outside have to address her respectfully as "Secretary Zhang".

How could she possibly let go of such immense power?!

To prove her determination, Zhang Yuxi trembled with fear as she pulled out her phone.

In front of Zhang Xinyu, she decisively and without hesitation blocked all of Zhang Tianai's contact methods one by one.

Seeing Zhang Yuxi's decisiveness and repentance in the face of power, Zhang Xinyu's expression softened.

She sighed, stepped forward, gently stroked Zhang Yuxi's slightly disheveled hair, her expression softening with pity and tenderness, and softly comforted her:

"That's right, Yu Xi."

"If you want to be rich and noble in this life, you must never waste your true feelings on those who are unimportant."

Zhang Xinyu cupped her face in her hands, looked into her eyes filled with lingering fear, and earnestly explained:

"You must remember this."

"In this world, you only have one sky."

"Behave yourself, do what you're supposed to do, and you'll get what you want!"
