The director didn't mince words and immediately said that his crew would absolutely not hire Lin Xi; he couldn't afford someone who was mentally challenged and couldn't even memorize her lines, only able to recite numbers and letters.

To prevent Yu Xiuhua from disbelieving, the director even showed her the audition video.

Yu Xiuhua, having worked her way up from being an agent, naturally knew that Lin Xi was absolutely unqualified as an actor, let alone his irresponsible, unrepentant, and utterly unethical behavior.

She immediately wanted to question Lin Xi. Lin Xi was never like this in front of her, so why was she a different person on set?

The director said somewhat awkwardly that Lin Xi and the assistant director were having a private conversation on the 20th floor. Yu Xiuhua had been in and out of the entertainment industry for decades, so she knew all the tricks of the trade.

Lin Xi, a naive and inexperienced young man, might very well be tricked by the cunning and ruthless assistant director.

After rushing up to the twentieth floor, I never expected to stumble upon such a juicy piece of gossip right there on the floor.

The room was already packed with reporters. Weren't they discussing the plot? Why did they need to invite reporters in?

She frowned, and as soon as she stepped inside, she heard a voice from within, "Leave that old woman. With me, you'll have access to all sorts of resources."

The man let out a soft moan, then spoke with complete absorption, "Brother Tian, what are you saying? She can still give me money and resources. I can trample Jiang Ye under my feet. I can't leave her."

Song Shiwei was almost dumbfounded by their idiotic remarks.

With so many reporters around, how do they manage to act like they don't exist?

[Are these two crazy? Is self-destruction a new trend in CEO romance novels these days?]

Yu Xiuhua's expression gradually turned fierce. So what she heard from that voice was true?

She walked in, grabbed the man lying on the bed, her eyes fierce and venomous, "Lin Xi? When do you plan to leave me?"

Lin Xi was suddenly grabbed. Her body, driven by passion and desire, glanced at the newcomer and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "Sister?"

"What? Are you surprised to see me?" Yu Xiuhua asked casually.

Song Shiwei munched on her melon seeds, [Of course he was surprised. In his plan, you should be at the scene of the director catching his wife cheating right now.]

[Lin Xi is probably thinking about how to explain this now.]

[It's the same old three-and-a-half-line rhyme, I was forced into it, I had no choice, sister, you have to believe me.]

Song Shiwei was enjoying the gossip, Song Shiwei Yu Xiuhua turned to look at her and said seriously, "I advise you to think carefully before trying to fool me."

Lin Xi sat naked on the bed, while the assistant director on the other side wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, as if he wanted Lin Xi to shoulder the burden alone.

"Brother Lin Xi, how could you do this? Your acting is terrible, even if it's just a brothel scene, it's still no good. Hurry up and put your clothes on, look how embarrassing you are." The director pretended to take out a bathrobe and threw it at Lin Xi.

It's not that he doesn't want to be a gossip, but this kind of thing is really indecent. He'll put on his clothes and figure it out slowly; the real show is just beginning.

Jiang Zhuxin stared in disbelief at everything. "Brother, is the entertainment industry this exciting?"

Jiang Ye blinked. "Sis, I just saw this for myself too."

He had never seen such a spectacle before; this wave of gossip almost made him stuffed.

This is something I've never heard of or seen before; it's incredibly exciting!

Song Shiwei stood calmly to the side, clicking her tongue in amazement, "[How did Yu Xiuhua suddenly become so smart? With this kind of intelligence, she probably wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses on her later investments, right?]"

[Wait a minute, it seems like all her subsequent investments were in Lin Xi. Yu Xiuhua wouldn't be that stupid, would she? Knowing it's a loss, why is she still pouring money into it? What is this spendthrift woman trying to do?]

[No, she also has an even more spendthrift daughter. No wonder Yu Xiuhua's projects all lost money. Lin Xi really took exploiting others to the extreme, pocketing a large portion of the money from each project. In the end, the Yu family mother and daughter brought about their own downfall.]

Yu Xiuhua:?

What does this have to do with her daughter?

Song Shiwei continued to silently observe the drama unfolding in her mind. [Yu Yining successfully went from being Lin Xi 'Lin Xi fangirl to his girlfriend. This young lady's idol worship is a bit too genuine; she keeps throwing money at Lin Xi, and she tries her best to persuade her mother to invest in every project he Lin Xi. Yu Xiuhua was naturally happy to see this happen, but unexpectedly...]

[Neither the mother nor the daughter expected that the "little puppy" they were spending money and resources on was actually the same person! Exciting, isn't it!]

[Seriously, don't these two, mother and daughter, even tell each other their names when they're dating? The odds of them both dating the same guy are one in ten thousand, and they've managed to do it, and it's been almost a year without them finding out.]

[Lin Xi has become a top celebrity within a year, and this mother and daughter are still immersed in the sweetness of their romance.]

[Lin Xi is really something else. He clearly knew Yu Xiuhua was Yu Yining's mother, so he secretly got to know her behind Yu Yining's back and successfully became Yu Xiuhua's new favorite. He really deserves to die; he actually dared to make a move on his mother-in-law. He's a ruthless person indeed.]

[In the end, the little puppy grew up and turned on them, happily running away with their money.]

Yu Xiuhua:?

She was stunned when she heard this. What did it mean that the mother and daughter were spending money and resources on the same person who was actually a puppy?

Could it be that the guy her daughter mentioned to her is Lin Xi?

She knew that Yu Yining had recently started dating, but she hadn't actually asked Yu Yining what her boyfriend's name was. She always felt that as long as her daughter liked someone, it didn't matter who he was, as long as they truly loved each other, that was enough.

She frowned slightly. The voice that had suddenly appeared in her head had no real basis and was probably just nonsense.

She took a deep breath, but a strange sense of panic welled up inside her.
