Chapter 36 (2/2)
What did she have?
Just what did Ling Sheng have to deserve all that?
She had not even graduated from high school and she was just a brainless bimbo. Why did she deserve to work with Huo Ci’s Studio? And why did she deserve to be an artist managed by Mei Xuelin?

Mei Xuelin was about to speak, when she saw Ling Sheng get up to open the door and then chuckle upon seeing the person hiding behind it. “Sister Jiaren, you are still here!”
Shang Jiaren had meant to eavesdrop on their conversation but had not expected to get caught red-handed. She laughed awkwardly. “My shoulder strap fell. I was just adjusting it.”
When Mei Xuelin heard Shang Jiaren’s lame excuse, she glanced over sharply with a look so cold that it could pierce someone’s heart.
Shang Jiaren’s hair stood on end as she caught the look on Mei Xuelin’s face. She shuddered before she smiled at the two of them and left.
Mei Xuelin closed the door and gave Ling Sheng a warning look. “Stay away from her.”
“I have a week left before production ends. I don’t want to offend anyone,” said Ling Sheng with a laugh. She then pulled a chair for Mei Xuelin and said, “My dear agent, don’t worry. I’m not a silly little girl. I know who I can mix around with and who I shouldn’t mix around with.”

Did she really have to look at her like she was a fool?
“I’m glad you know. This evergreen supporting actress shows one thing and does another.” Mei Xuelin handed the contract over to Ling Sheng. “I amended one of the terms. Do have a look.”
Ling Sheng flipped through the document and studied the red highlighted part. “During the term of the contract, the artist is not allowed to be involved in any romantic relationships.”
“This is mainly due to your young age. I’m afraid that you can’t withstand the temptations of the entertainment industry and will end up doing something foolish. I hope you don’t mind me adding that clause!” Mei Xuelin clearly saw Ling Sheng’s lips twitch and her face turn sullen.
That was it.
She knew this girl was clever enough to see through her tactics at once.
In the middle of the night, Megastar Huo had called her urgently just to ask her to add this clause. He had also ordered Mei Xuelin not to let Ling Sheng know it was his idea and had asked her to come up with an excuse for the clause.
