“Stop.” Yun Shishi slapped his hand away.

Tang Yu, who was troubled, noticed that the door to Qin Zhou’s office was ajar. She roamed her eyes and hit upon an idea. Immediately, she put on a saccharine smile and entered the room.

“Mr. Qin!”

She decided to butter him up sweetly upon stepping inside.

Qin Zhou held Huanyu shares; therefore, those artistes and staff with lower ranks had to address him as ‘Mr. Qin’.

He felt a headache coming on once he saw her and rolled his eyes lazily. “What?”

She was about to speak when she spotted Yun Shishi signing a contract with her head down. She was stunned and momentarily speechless.

“… Huh? Yun Shishi?! Why are you here, too?”

“It’s none of your business! Care for yourself first!” He reminded her coldly.

At his reminder, she remembered her purpose for being in his office and cooed, “Mr. Qin, you have to help me~”

Her velvety voice triggered goosebumps on his skin instead.

Don’t act coy if you don’t know how to.

As soon as she opened her mouth, he only felt disgust and his flesh creep all over.

“What can I help you with?”

“I have no idea which b*tch destroyed my reputation. Now, the company wants to terminate my contract! Mr. Qin, your words carry weight around here, and you have such a good relationship with Mr. Ji. Can you put in a good word for me with him?”

Tang Yu felt wronged.

She became a little tipsy after a few drinks at the gala that night.

For a better career advancement, she hooked up with Mu Yazhe, thinking that she could climb on to his bed, but never did she expect him to throw her into another car, which arrived at Li Wenqing’s villa.

Li Wenqing, a Huanyu higher-up and one of its shareholders, naturally had a place in the board of directors.

He was notorious for playing around with countless women. From a certain standpoint, he could be deemed as an old flame of hers – they had spent a night or two together before.

A few productions she had participated in were given to her by him.

Tang Yu was a little surprised to see him, but she thought that this was prearranged and that he had truly chosen her to come over that night; thus, she had no qualms.

Li Wenqing, for his part, thought that it was a little fishy when he saw her.

Did he not select a newbie called Yun Shishi? Why was Tang Yu sent over to him instead?

However, in the middle of the night, he was already in need of venting his flaming desires, and as soon as Tang Yu entered, their bodies immediately intertwined.

After the two did the deed, they unexpectedly fell into a trap…

Incriminating pictures accompanied the articles of their illicit tryst, and despite the capable human resource teams both possessed, there was already nothing they could do to regain her reputation.

Qin Zhou waved at her as his head hurt. “Scram and stop annoying me. I have a mess in my hands right now and I can’t even protect myself.”

“There’s even a mess that can give Mr. Qin a headache?”

He was irked. “Tang Yu, now that things have come to this, no one can help you anymore. If you want me to help you… Since you are still young and you look good, I’ll be nice and introduce you to a production.”

Her eyes lit up, and she could hardly contain her excitement. “Really, Mr. Qin?! I knew you won’t ditch me! What’s the production called?”

He flashed her a sinister grin. “The Golden Lotus 3D1.”

…

Heck!

Was he toying with her?

The Golden Lotus 3D was an X-rated film production!

What was this?

Could this even be deemed as goodwill? He was clearly dragging her down, waiting for her to embarrass herself!

At the very least, she was still a second- or third-tier actress, a popular teenage idol, yet he was proposing for her to take part in an X-rated film?

“YOU…” She was enraged, and her face flamed red.

“What of me? Take it or scram!” He bluntly told her off.
