Chapter 6

"He said, 'You'll know why after you drink it.'"

Su Anning immediately felt uneasy upon seeing the bottle of champagne, her eyes evading as she said, "Mr. Chen...you're joking, right?"

"Mr. Chen never jokes. If you don't want to drink it, that's fine. Cangxing Media has plenty of female artists who would be more than willing to take all of your future bookings."

Su Anning looked at her agent's calm smile and knew that Chen Huaixiao was not joking. He had the power to block all her opportunities.

This time, Su Anning had taken a gamble and spiked his drink with a drug, thinking that it would help her climb the ranks. But she had waited all night for Chen Huaixiao and he never came.

Not only that, he had noticed something was off.

Su Anning could only endure her frustration and anger, lifting the bottle of champagne to her lips.

Five minutes later, she was vomiting uncontrollably in the bathroom.

Bai Yin brought her a bottle of mineral water, watching Su Anning in a disapproving manner.

She had brought this upon herself.

With Chen Huaixiao's vengeful personality, he would surely seek revenge once he found out the truth.

That night, Bai Yin had noticed something off about Chen Huaixiao.

He was like a madman.

She sent a message to Sun Lili: "Thank you."

Sun Lili replied, "No problem, but how did you know the drink was spiked? Did you take Chen Huaixiao's glass before he drank it?"

"Just had a feeling that something was off about him," Bai Yin replied.

Although she had also gotten drunk that night, she had clearly felt that Chen Huaixiao had gone too far, exceeding the normal frequency and timeframe.

Sun Lili coughed. "Ahem, ahem."

Bai Yin smiled.

"But if Chen Huaixiao really wants to pursue this, I've already sent him the evidence. Why hasn't he reported it and ruined Su Anning's reputation?" Sun Lili asked.

"It's related to him, and he's a man who values his reputation," Bai Yin replied.

"But I also didn't expect that you would actually...you know, with him that night. It's not like you at all. In university, your standards were so high that you didn't even glance at many handsome guys. And now you're falling for this Chen Huaixiao guy?" Sun Lili asked.

Bai Yin coughed. "But that's Chen Huaixiao! The dream of billions of girls!"

"Are you one of those billions of girls?" Sun Lili asked.

Bai Yin didn't answer right away. She used to be, but not anymore.

"I just want his body," Bai Yin said.

"That's a convincing argument," Sun Lili replied.

After vomiting, Su Anning felt weak and had her assistant call her a car.

Bai Yin said indifferently, "Your assistant is on vacation. Call your own car from the street."

"You...you call it for me!"

"I'm your sister, not your assistant," Bai Yin smiled. "Please handle it yourself, big sis."

Su Anning left Film and Television City in a fit of anger and dizziness.

As she watched Su Anning's figure disappear, Bai Yin couldn't help but feel that Su might not live long enough to exact revenge on her.

Sally finished applying her makeup, then turned to Bai Yin and said, "If Su Anning ever treats you badly, you can come work for me as my assistant. I happen to be in need of one."

Bai Yin politely smiled and replied, "I'm not Su Anning's assistant, I'm her sister."

Sally looked surprised and said, "Really? I couldn't tell."

Bai Yin touched her own rough, tanned skin that had been covered up with special effects makeup, and said, "I grew up in a small town and did a lot of manual labor, so my skin is rough."

She had grown accustomed to making herself look ugly with makeup because her real appearance tended to provoke hostility and jealousy from those around her, and she had suffered many losses in college because of it.

But she had learned from her mistakes, especially in a place like the Film and Television City where she was likely to encounter celebrities. It was better to hide her true appearance.

Sally didn't scrutinize Bai Yin's appearance closely, but pointed to the embroidered handbag she was carrying and said, "I like the pattern on your bag. Where did you get it?"

"I embroidered it myself."

"Wow, I had no idea you were so talented!" Sally exclaimed, admiring the black lotus pattern on the bag. "It's really beautiful and high-end looking."

"If you like it, I have patterns on my WeChat Moments. I can even make custom designs, and I also have some ready-made items like handkerchiefs and fans. They're pretty cheap, ranging from a few tens to several hundred yuan."

"That's not expensive at all. You charge me a few hundred for a cup of coffee, so I thought you would charge a lot more," Sally said, laughing.

Bai Yin was embarrassed. "About the coffee... I just said that off the top of my head."

Sally browsed Bai Yin's WeChat Moments, which were filled with exquisite embroidery designs, including not only clothes and bags, but also qipaos.

The craftsmanship was extraordinary and could be considered works of art!

"You're really talented. Do you enjoy doing this?" Sally asked.

Bai Yin shook her head. "Not really. I do it because I need the money."

Sally was surprised. "But aren't you Su Anning's sister? The Su family is a powerful entertainment company. How could you be short on money?"

"In this circle, there's no shortage of money... except maybe for Chen Huaixiao," Bai Yin replied.

Sally listened and then smiled lightly. "That's true. Everyone needs money. Otherwise, who would be willing to work so hard and stay up all night filming? But..."

She paused, her expression serious as she warned Bai Yin, "You should know that in this circle, no one dares to call him by his name. It's very offensive. You can call him 'Lord Xiao' or 'Mr. Chen', but never use his name directly. Otherwise, if someone with ill intentions hears it, you could be in big trouble. You saw what happened to Su Anning just now. This man is not to be trifled with." Bai Yin was grateful for Sally's advice and replied, "Thank you, Sally."

She remembered that every time they met, she would call him "Chen Huaixiao".

He didn't seem to mind...

"Because the price is not cheap, I can't just find anyone to fix it, and the craftsmen at the luxury store are on vacation. I think your skills should have no problem."

In the dressing room, Bai Yin checked the champagne-colored evening gown and found that the seam on the waist side had come undone.

After taking the replacement silk thread, she quickly repaired the evening gown for Sally in minutes, and there was no trace of the repair.

Watching Bai Yin's graceful needlework, Sally was amazed. Her fingers were like fluttering orchids, so beautiful! If only her face wasn't so ordinary, she could be a goddess in the entertainment industry with this elegant charm!

"Sally, it's fixed."

"Thank you! How much do I owe you?"

"Don't worry about it. You taught me acting techniques earlier, so consider it my tuition."

"Okay." Sally genuinely liked the young girl and patted her shoulder. "Don't get discouraged. If all the actresses in TV dramas are equally beautiful, audiences will get tired of it. Keep coming to the Film and Television City, start as an extra, and you will have a chance to stand out."

Bai Yin touched her dull yellow complexion and nodded earnestly. "Thank you for the encouragement, Sally." Sally had other matters to attend to, so Bai Yin didn't want to bother her anymore. She took the elevator to the first-floor lobby of the Canxing Group and walked out the door.

At this moment, a shiny black Bentley stopped at the entrance.

The staff in the lobby quickly moved aside when they saw it.

...Soon, Chen Huaixiao in a suit and leather shoes walked out of the car and strode into the Canxing Group lobby.

The fitted suit outlined his slender figure, the tie tightly wrapped around his well-defined neck, adding a hint of restraint to his demeanor. He had a stoic expression, and his dark eyes were gloomy and cold.

As he walked, he took the documents handed to him by a man next to him, quickly signed his name, and looked very busy.

As he passed by her, Bai Yin caught a whiff of the faint sandalwood scent on Chen Huaixiao.

Had his scent not faded after all these days?

Strange.

"Mr. Chen, could you please sign this document?" An assistant hurriedly approached.

During the elevator wait, Chen Huaixiao signed all the documents, and Bai Yin instinctively turned away, not wanting him to see her.

But then she thought that Chen Huaixiao probably wouldn't recognize her in her current ugly disguise.

Thinking of this, she relaxed a little.

Chen Huaixiao really didn't even glance at her and didn't even look at her directly.

It would be strange if he could recognize her makeup skills.

Chen Huaixiao got into the elevator, and Bai Yin walked out of the Canxing Group building.

As soon as she stepped out, her phone vibrated.

She unlocked the screen and saw a message on the screen -

chx: "Meet me in the penthouse."
