The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

"Uh……"

After reading it, Liu Mengtian looked a little embarrassed and said:

“I know about this talent show. Um… I wasn’t doing anything the other day. You just joined Fang Xiaoxiao’s group, and my friend dragged me to sign up too. You’re not angry with me, are you? I didn’t tell you.”

"How could this be?"

Su Cheng, with a sunny disposition, didn't take it to heart at all.

"Anyway, I was filming in a movie crew at that time, so I didn't have time to participate in the show."

A smile appeared on Bai Ye's lips.

He thought that Liu Mengtian might not even know it herself. She might have done it on purpose. It's not that she was particularly scheming, but rather that she might have subconsciously realized that Su Cheng was better than her.

Although she is considered a pretty woman, Su Cheng is better than her in terms of looks, temperament, and acting skills.

If Su Cheng goes to participate in the competition and competes against her, wouldn't she be just becoming Su Cheng's stepping stone?

Of course, she didn't necessarily want Su Cheng to have a bad life, it's just that...

I'm afraid my friends aren't doing well, but I'm even more afraid they're doing too well. Ideally, they'd be doing just a little worse than me—that would be perfect.

This is probably how Liu Mengtian feels about Su Cheng.

Everyone has feelings of jealousy. Moderate jealousy among friends is not harmful; it can even motivate you to work harder and be more ambitious. However, excessive jealousy indicates a problem with yourself, and you need to work on your mindset.

"Mengtian, I really didn't expect you to participate in this talent show. This is going to be a bit difficult."

Bai Ye suddenly scratched his head and said with some distress.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Liu Mengtian asked curiously.

Does her participation in this talent show have anything to do with Bai Ye?

Bai Ye: "Meng Tian, ​​you should know that the entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, attracting countless handsome men and beautiful women to flock to it, but very few of them make it big. Why is that?"

Liu Mengtian frowned: "Background?"

"Mengtian, you're so smart, you understand so quickly," Bai Ye said. "In the entertainment industry, without any background, it's incredibly difficult to make it through just by being an ordinary person."

"So?" Liu Mengtian asked, puzzled. "Bai Ye, what exactly are you planning to say?"

"Ahem... Well, Duan Chengxuan's sister, Duan Lingwei, and I are very good friends. And this talent show is organized by Xingyu, so... Mengtian, you should understand."

"Invincibility Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestral Master"

Bai Ye gave Liu Mengtian a look.

The smile on Liu Mengtian's face instantly froze:

"Bai Ye, are you saying that when Su Cheng decided to participate in this talent show, the champion of the show was already decided?"

"That's roughly the idea."

Bai Ye shrugged and said.

Su Cheng stared at Bai Ye in astonishment:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I say that I want to win this talent show championship based on my own abilities and test my skills? How could you... how could you do something like pre-selecting someone?"

"Su Cheng, can you please wake up?" Bai Ye said speechlessly, "You keep talking about fairness, but we're not three or four-year-olds. We all know that this world has never been fair, with all sorts of unfairness and unspoken rules. Didn't a news story just come out recently? A high school classmate said that this person, who had poor grades and a strange personality, could drink Baihao Yinzhen liquor that costs 20 yuan per kilogram, had endless dinner parties every night, and frequently dealt with leaders at all levels. He could openly mock them—'I'm afraid you can't study, you're a graduate student from a prestigious university, you look down on people like us who rely on our parents, now don't even think about getting into my company so easily. Society will teach those who look down on people like us who rely on our parents a lesson!'"

"This society has always been like this; there is no such thing as absolute purity. Once Duan Lingwei and Duan Chengxuan find out about your relationship with me, unless you perform terribly and are an incompetent fool, the champion of this show will definitely be you, okay?"

Originally, Bai Ye didn't want to explain this unspoken rule to Su Cheng so clearly, letting her win the talent show championship without knowing the truth. She was happy, and Bai Ye was happy too.

The key issue is that Liu Mengtian is getting too close to Su Cheng, which could easily bring about too many unpredictable changes for Su Cheng. At this point, Bai Ye has to help Su Cheng solve some of the troubles.

If Liu Mengtian can see reality clearly and understand that Su Cheng and she are not in the same circle, and can then focus on her own things without scheming against Su Cheng, then it would undoubtedly be a happy ending for everyone.

otherwise……

He didn't even need to lift a finger; Duan Lingwei and Duan Chengxuan were enough to handle Liu Mengtian for him.

Su Cheng was at a loss for words.

Liu Mengtian forced a smile:

"That's impossible. Xingyu is a reputable mid-sized company in the industry. How could they do something like this? From the beginning, they said that this program was for the public and would be fair, just, and transparent. How could they break the rules like this?"

As she spoke, Liu Mengtian gradually recovered from her shock. She even suspected that Bai Ye was just bragging to scare her away and make way for Su Cheng.

"Mengtian, you're not young anymore. You don't still believe in the rules that are just outwardly displayed in this world, do you?"

Bai Ye sighed and said:

"The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions! I know Duan Chengxuan's sister, Duan Lingwei, I really do! As for Su Cheng... she could decide that with just a casual word. For you little actors, this talent show might be a life-changing opportunity, but in Duan Lingwei's eyes, it's just a trivial matter. She'd probably be happy to make me owe her a favor, since a champion will always be chosen, so what difference does it make who gets the title?"

Liu Mengtian's expression still showed some stubbornness.

But Su Cheng already understood.

Bai Ye is not just a friend of Duan Chengxuan's sister, Duan Lingwei. Moreover, Duan Chengxuan's Xingyu is currently raising funds, and Bai Ye should be able to help Duan Chengxuan solve a significant funding gap, thus becoming a shareholder of Xingyu.

Under these circumstances, unless Duan Chengxuan was completely brain-dead, he would never have given Bai Ye's girlfriend a runner-up position when she participated in the talent show.

“This world has never lacked unspoken rules, and the entertainment industry has the most of them,” Bai Ye said. “In this industry, it’s almost impossible for ordinary people to break through now. But emerging industries like live streaming might still have a lot of potential.”

"Does the live streaming industry have great potential?"

Liu Mengtian's attention was naturally diverted to Bai Ye.

Because besides acting, her other part-time job is as a live streamer.

“That’s right. After all, the live streaming industry is relatively new and hasn’t been developed much yet. It’s still a blue ocean market. If you do well as a live streamer, you might earn just as much as a celebrity,” Bai Ye said. “Moreover, if you do well as a live streamer and gain fans and traffic, you might be able to use that to break into the entertainment industry, take a different approach, and achieve great success!”

Liu Mengtian seemed to be deep in thought.

After a while.

Liu Mengtian feigned a pitiful expression and looked at Su Cheng, asking:

"Orange... Could it be that you've really already been chosen by Star Entertainment?"

"I don't know either!"

"

Su Cheng said helplessly:

"Bai Ye, that guy, he's been behind my back... never mind, I can't be bothered to talk about him. But his relationship with Duan Chengxuan's sister is very unusual, they must be really good friends, so..."

Hearing Su Cheng say this, Liu Mengtian immediately understood... that Su Cheng really did have connections.

She couldn't help but look dejected.

If Bai Ye had said it, she might have suspected that Bai Ye was bluffing her, but Su Cheng had been her friend for so long, and she knew Su Cheng very well. Su Cheng was like a spotless white lotus flower; let alone lying or deceiving people, she estimated that even if she had a hundred yuan in her pocket, she would give ninety yuan to a beggar on the street...

In other words, this is true.

No matter how well she performs in this talent show hosted by Xingyu, she will only become Su Cheng's foil.

In this world, people will only remember Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, and not K2, the second highest peak.

Who would want to be a star next to the moon?

A pang of jealousy towards Su Cheng welled up in Liu Mengtian's heart.

If it wasn't Su Cheng's boyfriend who knew Duan Lingwei, but rather her boyfriend who knew Duan Lingwei, then wouldn't Liu Mengtian be the one chosen by Xingyu Entertainment?

It's a pity that her boyfriend, Sun Dayong, is just a gym instructor and has no way of getting close to a big shot in the entertainment industry like Duan Lingwei.

"Alright." Liu Mengtian sighed helplessly and said, "Congratulations, Orange, on winning the talent show ahead of schedule. It seems that from now on, you can soar to the sky, while I... still have to struggle in the quagmire!"

Su Cheng said embarrassedly, "It can't be that exaggerated, can it? Maybe... I won't participate in this talent show, and you can go, Tian Tian."

"What are you saying, Orange!" Liu Mengtian said angrily, "Do you think I'm such a petty person? This is your chance, so you have to seize it! Bai Ye is able to meet Duan Lingwei, what a great opportunity that is! How can you waste it? Besides, if only I participate, I may not be able to achieve any results, after all, there are so many experts."

"and……"

She winked at Su Cheng:

"I'm still waiting for you to become a big star so you can give me a helping hand!"

"what!"

Su Cheng smiled too:

"No problem. When I become a big star, I'll definitely give you the second female lead role."

Liu Mengtian: "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance for your help, Mr. Su."

Well, judging from Liu Mengtian's nonchalant look, she's probably thinking to herself, "Come on, you've already crushed me once, do you want to crush me for the rest of your life?"

Bai Ye wasn't worried about Liu Mengtian spreading rumors about this, because if this small price could make Su Cheng see Liu Mengtian's true character, then Bai Ye felt it was absolutely worth it.

……

The next day.

Bai Ye and Su Cheng went out hand in hand.

Su Cheng still has to film a TV series. Her scenes have been compressed all at once, so she'll be busy from morning till night. She won't be able to get any rest these next few days.

I went outside.

I saw Liu Mengtian and her boyfriend taking pictures of the Aston Martin One-77 in the white night in various poses.

"Hey, Su Cheng, come quick! Let's take a few more photos before the owner arrives and post them on WeChat Moments so they can see what a luxury car really is."

Liu Mengtian saw Su Cheng and immediately waved excitedly.

Sun Dayong ignored her, leaning against the luxury car, and said to Liu Mengtian:

"Sweetie, I think this angle is especially handsome, give me another one."

What man doesn't love luxury cars?

Su Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
