Not to ntion anything else, just the level of attention that Shi Yaoguang pays to the quality of the films is beyond reproach.
Even those who clashed with Shi Yaoguang’s schedule found no fault with her.
Accuse her of being a diva?
She was a big na in and of herself; there was no need for diva behavior.
Accuse her of playing too many roles at the sa ti?
Everyone knew that Shi Yaoguang worked on films and attended variety shows simultaneously without causing any conflict.
Every director from each crew was extrely satisfied with her.
The only criticism was that by filming so many movies in such a short period, there might be a lot of quantity, but the quality couldn’t be guaranteed.
This doubt vanished as the TV series and films were released.
Each of Shi Yaoguang’s movies and TV shows was guaranteed to be of high quality.
It was nothing short of miraculous.
Shi Yaoguang’s various deeds won public recognition, but Shi Yiqing wasn’t so fortunate.
Even without the audience or fans saying anything, the re bet she had made with Shi Yaoguang was trouble enough for her.
"The bet has been realized. When do you plan to leave the industry?"
The day after the film festival awards, Shi Yaoguang gave Shi Yiqing a call.
She got straight to the point.
Shi Yiqing shook her head, harboring resentnt towards Shi Yaoguang.
"Do you really have to push this far?"
Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang laughed, "Push you? How have I pushed you?"
"Why do you insist on leaving the industry?" Shi Yiqing said sowhat awkwardly, "Obviously, I don’t pose any threat in the entertainnt industry, right?"
Even if she was reluctant to admit it, she knew that her existence posed no threat to Shi Yaoguang.
That’s why she couldn’t understand Shi Yaoguang’s thinking.
Why wouldn’t she leave any way out?
Facing Shi Yiqing’s questioning gaze, Shi Yaoguang scoffed, "Indeed, you can’t pose a threat to , but that’s not a reason for not to pursue your mistakes. You did sothing wrong, and I pursue your responsibility. Isn’t that as it should be?"
"You bet with and you lost. I’m collecting the debt. Isn’t that a matter of course?"
"Surely just because you’re poor and don’t have money, I shouldn’t just let you off and not hold you accountable, right?"
As she spoke, her face took on a mocking expression.
If I were to let Shi Yiqing go, who would let off the hook?
In this world, Shi Yaoguang and Shi Yiqing are dood to be adversaries in a zero-sum ga.
If one must co to a bad end between the two...
That person could never be Shi Yaoguang.
That was Shi Yaoguang’s thought.
It was also Quan Jinbei’s thought.
While Shi Yaoguang was hard at work acting, Quan Jinbei was already preparing in private.
He had confidence in Shi Yaoguang and also prepared in case Shi Yiqing would renege at the last mont.
As a result, he blocked Shi Yiqing’s exit path imdiately.
With the Quan Family’s enormous influence in place, even if Shi Yiqing was the favored "princess" of Bada Entertainnt and the future star of the entertainnt circle, she could no longer survive in this field.
...
Once Shi Yiqing confird she was "blacklisted," she couldn’t help but seek help from Shang Minghao.
Since the film festival award ceremony ended, Shang Minghao hadn’t contacted her again.
Careful accounting showed it had also been only one day.
But this one day without a word felt like a form of hellish tornt to Shi Yiqing.
All she had now was given to her by Shang Minghao.
Her future could only rely on Shang Minghao.
Even though Quan Sicheng had made a na for himself in a year, able to stand parallel with Quan Siyan, he still fell short compared to Shang Minghao.
By comparison, Shi Yiqing was more dependent on Shang Minghao.
Moreover, she had noticed.
Shang Minghao had intentionally been blocking her connection with Quan Sicheng for the past six months.
Even though Shi Yiqing discovered this, she didn’t speak up.
She complied with Shang Minghao’s wishes, silently drifting apart from Quan Sicheng.
Quan Sicheng’s star was shining brightly now, with endless engagents every day, and he even had to incorporate the business knowledge forcefully cramd in by Shang Minghao, juggling the entertainnt industry and the added lessons of a corporate tycoon, wishing he could split each day in two.
In the beginning, he still managed to find ti to chat with Shi Yiqing, showing concern for her recent well-being.
Lately, however, the ti they spent in contact beca shorter and the intervals longer.
Shi Yiqing couldn’t even recall when she last made contact with Quan Sicheng.
She distanced herself from Quan Sicheng just as Shang Minghao desired.
Now, she could only plead for Shang Minghao’s help.
To this day, she still harbored hope that she and Shang Minghao could "attain lasting fulfillnt".
When Shi Yiqing ca to him, Shang Minghao was sitting at ho, ditating with closed eyes.
To put it another way.
He was actually contemplating the future.
Shi Yiqing, the girl favored by destiny, had beco useless in his eyes—a discarded chess piece.
As Heavenly Dao, he would not humble himself to waste ti on a piece that no longer had value.
"President Shang, everything I did was for you!"
Shi Yiqing threw herself at Shang Minghao’s feet, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked up at him.
"For you, I even gave up my childhood sweetheart and fiancé—you can’t just ignore !"
Shang Minghao snorted coldly, "Now that you’ve been blacklisted, stop coming to ."
The expression on Shi Yiqing’s face instantly cracked, and she looked at Shang Minghao in disbelief, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "What, what are you saying?"
"Wasn’t I clear enough?"
Shang Minghao stood up, his posture aloof and as cold as an indifferent deity.
Shi Yiqing desperately tried to find a hint of affection for herself in his eyes.
Regrettably.
Nothing.
There was nothing but a desolate indifference within them.
At that mont, Shi Yiqing’s heart panicked.
Even when she learned she was banned, she hadn’t felt as frantic as she did now.
At that ti, even though she was nervous, she still had confidence.
More than mixing in the entertainnt circle, she wanted to be Mrs. Shang Minghao.
If she could beco Mrs. Shang, being a star really didn’t matter at all.
But now, Shang Minghao’s attitude made it clear to her.
They couldn’t be together.
Even though he had never hinted at any romantic interest in her before.
All of it had been her own conjecture.
Thinking this, Shi Yiqing’s panic grew.
She pleaded with Shang Minghao helplessly, seeking just a morsel of compassion.
But Shang Minghao’s heart was so cold and hard.
Facing a weeping woman, tears streaming down her face, he felt no compassion whatsoever.
He just coldly watched her cry, and before her very eyes, called security to escort her away.
Swept out along with her were the belongings she’d left in the villa.
At this juncture, Shi Yiqing clearly understood that she had been abandoned.
She had been given up on by Shang Minghao.
She could no longer return to his side, and this realization made her feel as if she was breaking down.
In her state of collapse, she thought of Shi Yaoguang—it was all Shi Yaoguang’s fault that she had ended up like this. If not for Shi Yaoguang stealing the glory that belonged to her, Shang Minghao would never have cast her aside!
