“Weiwei.” Ren Zhong pulled her into his arms and said earnestly, “I’m not abandoning you. It’s just that things have already come to this. If 1 fall along with you, then all our previous efforts will be in vain. Besides, think about it carefully. Who else would be willing to be your backer other than me?”

Ren Zhong was right. He was indeed the best person He Wei could build a relationship with right now, but cleaning up the mess meant that she had to take everything on herself. Then, the glory of her hard-earned comeback in the entertainment industry would disappear.

Moreover, she still had a drama in her hands. If she joined the production team with funds but left the production team in the middle of filming, then even if she wanted to make a comeback in the future, no one would dare to hire her again.

Who would be willing to give up their years of hard work for a time bomb?

He Wei understood this. Ren Zhong must have thought of this move long ago, so what he was doing now was tantamount to forcing her to give up her entertainment career completely.

He Wei’s expression gradually turned blank. After a moment of confusion, a tear suddenly fell from her eyes. She turned to look at Ren Zhong in a daze, her eyes filled with desolation. “I, I don’t know what 1 can do after I quit being a celebrity.”

Ren Zhong took a deep breath and endured the pain in his heart. He said solemnly, “You can come to work in my company and be my only secretary. You can run the Ren Corporation with me.”

“But I…” She wanted to tell Ren Zhong that she knew nothing about anything other than filming all these years. However, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she suddenly thought of I le Miao and was unwilling to say such disheartening words.

1 le Miao could rely on her inexperienced acting skills to make an inexperienced school drama popular all over the internet. At the same time, He Miao could also use her own fragrance making skills to win one award after another. She even started a company on her own and was about to launch a new product.

Then what could she do?

He Wei suddenly believed that as long as it was something that He Miao, the cannon fodder supporting actress, could easily do, then she, the female lead, would definitely do it better.

After careful consideration, He Wei nodded and said, “Okay, I can promise you, but you have to promise me that in the future, I want a position above everyone in the company. Everyone under you has to listen to my arrangements!”

“Sure.” Ren Zhong’s face lit up. At this moment, she would agree to anything without thinking. A businessman’s priority was profit, and the benefits in front of him were the easiest to grasp.

Now, he had to stabilize 1 le Wei first before he could talk about anything else.

The two of them quickly reached a consensus. He Wei took a deep breath and took out her phone to send an apology with trembling fingers. She still could not directly say that everything was planned by her alone. She only vaguely admitted that she was not injured.

However, this piece of news was enough to make her fall from grace.

The fans who had been fooled by her pretending to be injured in the previous two live broadcasts suddenly felt that they were fools in her eyes. An unprecedented hostility instantly erupted on the Internet.

He Wei’s account was blocked, and even the website’s moderators had to personally control the public opinion. After the server went through a series of failures, the situation was finally under control.

In the last second before her account was permanently deleted, He Wei also saw a few private messages with insulting words. She dejectedly deleted the software, then threw away her phone and curled into the sofa dejectedly.

Ren Zhong’s heart ached as she hugged him and asked him to immediately buy the latest bag to please her.

However, what he did not know was that these worldly possessions had become insignificant in He Wei’s heart.

In her previous life, she was a small-time actress who had worked so hard but could not make a name for herself. She had seen countless female celebrities whose family backgrounds and looks were far superior to hers. She had always envied them for being born into such a wealthy and noble family.

Therefore, after transmigrating, she especially cherished this hard-won opportunity. Everything she envied in the past was now in her hands.

She was also like those women who could easily become famous in the entertainment industry. She had a wealthy family, a lot of money, and enviable beauty.

However, all of this popped like a bubble in an instant. Now, not only did she lose her ticket to enter the acting industry again, but she also had to wait until the heat died down before she went out. Otherwise, she might become a street rat that everyone hated.

What exactly had caused her to end up like this? He Wei emptied her mind and sat on the sofa in a daze. All she could think of was the scenes after she transmigrated.

Suddenly, she seemed to have grasped something important, and her lifeless eyes suddenly burst into a strange light.

She remembered that all the differences from the original book started after He Miao became beautiful!

She had completely ignored the matter of why He Miao had become beautiful in the past. Now that she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was strange!

How could a perfectly fine person be reborn in such a short period of time, as if he had become a completely different person?
