Late April.
The temperature had soared into the twenties.
Not too cold, not too hot—it was just perfect.
Song Wu, born in '91, was celebrating her 24th birthday, but she was hardly famous in the entertainnt circle.
She was rely a small-ti stand-in.
So, not many people ca for her birthday, and not many online sent their wishes either.
The entertainnt industry is very pragmatic.
If you are a big star, on your birthday countless people would send you wishes in various ways.
Many celebrities would also post on Weibo, shouting out a happy birthday to you.
This is the difference between being famous and not.
Song Wu simply booked a large private room at a hotel and invited so acquaintances for a small gathering.
Of course, she also invited so big shots whom she thought highly of.
"Little Wu, happy birthday, brother will toast to you," said a director in his forties as he stood up and wrapped an arm around her shoulder to drink.
He saw this as quite normal.
After all, given his reputation, coming to celebrate the birthday of a girl who couldn't even be called a C-list stand-in was already an honor for her.
At that ti, hugging or even asking her to get a room—why would it matter?
It was a form of recognition for her.
Liu Bizheng, feeling spirited, ordered, "Little Wu, I heard you're good at dancing, why don't you go up on that stage and give us a belly dance?"
Song Wu froze; this was her birthday celebration.
Normally, she would definitely perform.
But it was Zhang Tian'ai nearby who ca to her rescue, "Director Liu, our Song Wu is the star today, how can you make her perform like that? Why don't I do it, I know a bit too."
Refused, Liu Bizheng said displeased, "What do you an? If Liu Bizheng asks her to dance, it's giving her face. Do you think won who want to dance before are scarce?"
"But she's wearing high heels today!"
"What about high heels, who do you think she is? She's just a nobody, not even a C-list actor."
Liu Bizheng had spent ten years climbing from an assistant director, recently produced two moderately successful web dramas, and was seriously contemplating moving into mainstream cinema.
Of course, there were plenty of minor actors vying to curry favor with him.
As for insignificant actors with no na or influence, he could order them around however he liked.
Nobody among the friends Song Wu had invited dared to speak up for her.
"Director Liu…"
Zhang Tian'ai was the only one here who knew of Song Wu's background, although she found it strange why Tengying Entertainnt, with its powerful backing, had never provided any resources for Song Wu. But she was the niece of that person, a fact that would never change.
No matter how down-and-out Song Wu was at the mont, the mont Tengying acknowledged her identity,
she would make a complete turnaround in the entertainnt industry overnight.
From a C-list actor who everyone could bully, she would beco the true princess of Tengying Entertainnt.
And Tengying Entertainnt now was not what it used to be.
Even a queen of the drama scene like Yang Mi had signed with Tengying Entertainnt.
That showed just how influential it had beco.
"What, does my word not count for anything?"
Liu Bizheng slamd down his chopsticks, clearly angry.
Just as Song Wu was about to head to the stage to perform and defuse the awkward situation,
a woman with the presence of a queen entered through the door.
Clothed in a cheongsam dress, her graceful figure was fully displayed.
The mont she lifted her head, everyone in the private room seed to lose their voice.
"Happy birthday, Song Wu, sorry I'm late," she said.
"Yang Mi, is that Yang Mi?"
"How could Song Wu possibly know Yang Mi?"
"And she even says sorry for being late? What did I miss?"
"Hello Yang Mi, I am Director Liu Bizheng."
Liu Bizheng had completely lost his previous arrogance. In front of Queen Yang, he instantly transford into an old sycophant and even reached out to shake hands with her.
Yang Mi, although unaware of what had happened,
glanced around and could roughly guess, frowning as she said,
"Who are you? Do I know you?"
Yang Mi couldn't be bothered with him, just a third-tier director, who likewise didn't even qualify to co close to her, Queen Yang.
After walking over to Song Wu, Yang Mi then said, "Your brother-in-law sent over. He also asked to tell you that your sister made you a bowl of longevity noodles at ho. He wants you to make sure to go back ho later."
"My brother-in-law?"
"Yes, your brother-in-law."
"Really, did he really say that?"
Song Wu's tears were about to fall.
Yang Mi patted her shoulder, "Yes, your own brother-in-law, the boss of Tengying Entertainnt, Chen Pingsheng, he asked to call you ho for dinner."
Clap~
A bunch of cups fell to the floor.
In this private room, who wasn't from the entertainnt industry?
Anyone from the industry would naturally know about Tengying Entertainnt.
The boss was very mysterious; most people in the circle had never seen him.
Just recently, Tengying had signed Yang Mi, and even valued her at five billion yuan, making it currently the top-ranking entertainnt agency in the drama circle.
Having invested in so many dramas, to this date, not a single one had lost money.
That was kind of magical.
Song Wu's brother-in-law was actually the boss of Tengying Entertainnt?
Had not Yang Mi personally stood here and said this, even dogs would not believe it.
There's no other reason.
Given Tengying's background, even if the boss's own niece were to act terribly,
everyone would still find eighteen different angles to praise her acting.
Who doesn't understand a bit of the ways of the world?
Let alone being mocked by a third-tier director on her own birthday,
and arbitrarily ordered to go on stage to belly dance.
If she really was the niece of Tengying's boss, then let alone a third-tier director, not even top-tier directors would dare to order her around.
The mysterious boss of Tengying, was that a joke?
Others might curse his own niece freely, but are others allowed to do so?
Let alone ask her to do such humiliating tasks.
Quite a few people quietly distanced themselves from Liu Bizheng.
To avoid getting involved with him—after all, the entertainnt industry is just that realistic.
Song Wu, who was just a barely-known actress a mont ago, suddenly beca the object of everyone's pursuit.
Only Zhang Tian'ai was overjoyed at the sidelines, she knew this day would inevitably co.
And the reason was none other than Tengying's boss's deep love for Song Wu's sister—a rare true love in the entertainnt industry!
The kind that could reject all temptations of the entertainnt industry for her.
Tell , how could such a man watch his wife's only sister suffer in the entertainnt industry?
As long as he was willing to acknowledge Song Wu,
her status in the entertainnt circle would imdiately flip.
Regardless of her tier, the next ti she attended a major entertainnt event, she would be sitting in the first row, a symbol of significant capital.

All because she had such a powerful brother-in-law.
This was the legendary power of background that could leap over those who had struggled for years.
Clearly, the arrival of Yang Mi,
was tantamount to acknowledging Song Wu's unattainable status and background to the entire entertainnt industry.
From now on, she was destined to walk sideways in the entertainnt circle.
Who would dare to bully her then? People couldn't ingratiate themselves with her fast enough.
This is the legendary knack of understanding human relationships.
