Main text:

What Miss Luo Quan likes most is watching those people look at her with displeasure yet be helpless.

On the other hand, if there is anything or anyone she is unhappy with, she won't hold it in; she will say it immediately and never leave it overnight.

So, the heat of this incident had originally been suppressed by some people, but as a result of Miss Luo Quan's commotion, it exploded again immediately.

Those celebrities who stood on the wrong side not only deleted their posts and apologized, but were also accused by netizens of "mooching off the heat" and "reversing right and wrong," losing quite a few fans in one night.

Even worse, because of Miss Luo Quan's "stabbing in the ribs" remark, the next day netizens directly assigned a name to those who helped Bian Qing speak: the "Stabbing Sect."

The "surface-level brother" who was the first to jump out and accuse Ying Xiaotian was promoted to the leader of the Stabbing Sect, and below him, according to the degree of outrageous remarks and status, they were divided into sect protectors and ordinary disciples.

In short, the reputations of these people will not be good for at least this recent period.

But for the entire entertainment industry, this is a good thing.

Because these people's reputations are ruined, others have a better chance to move up.

In the morning, Miss Luo Quan saw the Stabbing Sect hanging on the hot search, and her mood was very pleasant.

It's time to let these people who can't distinguish black from white taste the feeling of being hit hard by public opinion, and finally never recover, all dropping in status.

Closing her phone, Miss Luo Quan went into the bathroom to wash up, deciding to go for a stroll on the street.

Through the system's "talent radar," she has already obtained quite a few potential stocks.

And she found that Hengdian is truly a treasure trove; every time she comes, she can meet excellent talents.

So now that she has free time, she also wants to go out on the street to turn around; maybe she can have another harvest.

At the same time, Lin Ruoli's new TV series finally wrapped up.

However, she didn't have any happy emotions; instead, she let out a sigh of relief as if she had been unburdened.

This was the last play she promised the company to film; once the play was finished, the contract would end, and she would return to being a free agent.

Thinking back to when she debuted at her peak, she was chosen by a famous director to play the female lead, and subsequently became famous.

Unfortunately, she was too young at the time and met the wrong people, signing a contract with a black-hearted management company.

Other film actresses, after becoming popular, would cherish their feathers, be picky about scripts, try to choose excellent ones before considering money, and step by step improve their status.

But her company was good; ever since signing the contract, they have been squeezing the good reputation she gained in her debut film.

Traffic TV dramas, money-laundering films, awkward variety shows—she took them one after another; there were also countless marketing campaigns involving tearing each other apart, all for the sake of keeping her hot.

But she would rather not have the heat gained this way.

Unfortunately, after signing with the company, many things were no longer under her control.

Over these four years, her reputation has gradually declined; the titles of "vase," "box office poison," and "marketing queen" have all been pressed onto her head.

Clearly, when she debuted, she was called one of the "Four Little Flowers" of Chinese cinema, but now she has mixed herself into this state.

Lin Ruoli wanted to cry, but her tears had long since dried up.

In the end, it was because she was stupid at the beginning, choosing such a company and delaying the golden period of her development.

The only good news is that her contract with the company has finally ended, and now that she is back to being a free agent, she must find a good company to see if she can reverse her reputation.

Of course, the search process must be cautious and cautious; there must absolutely not be another situation of being hot-headed.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

After the TV series wrapped, Lin Ruoli prepared to leave immediately.

She didn't want to stay for even a second longer in this cheap crew filled with shoddy work.

If it were just a simple traffic drama, it would be fine; if the script is awkward and the costumes and props are poor, it doesn't matter.

At least she can ensure her acting is online, and after it airs, no one can scold her.

Netizens would at most say: "Lin Ruoli's acting is really not bad, but her eye for scripts is also really rotten."

She has been hearing these words for five years; in fact, it's no big deal, she's used to it anyway.

But the key is that the male lead acting with her this time is truly not acting like a human; he doesn't even say the lines "123456," he just opens his mouth at the air and then lets the post-production team dub it.

He was relaxed, but how was she supposed to act?

It was originally a TV series for two people, but it ended up becoming her one-woman show.

And there wasn't even a sound cue; she had to judge whether it was her turn to speak based on the width of his mouth opening.

This difficulty simply broke through the sky.

Swearing to the Tathagata Buddha, this was the time she had pulled out the most hair since she started her career; even when working with that famous director, it wasn't this worrying.

Now that the crew has wrapped, she doesn't want to stay for a second longer; if she didn't care about her image, she would really want to shout: "Goodbye, cage!"

But even though she said she was leaving, her manager and assistant stayed where they were, not moving.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruoli looked at them suspiciously.

"You have terminated your contract with the company, but we are still the company's people, and the car is also the company's, so..." The manager looked at her calmly; although there was some reluctance in her eyes, she still intended to do things by the book.

"Five years!"

Lin Ruoli's long-accumulated emotions erupted at this moment; she opened her fingers and trembled violently: "You have followed me for five years, and you aren't even willing to give me a ride!

I am unhappy with the company, but I haven't treated you badly in these five years, have I!"

The manager sighed: "I am also doing things according to the arrangements of the company's senior management; there's no way."

"So you don't intend to come with me?" Lin Ruoli didn't cry, just felt a bit desolate.

"Your value has already been squeezed dry by the company; following you won't have any future." The manager was very realistic, realistic enough to make Lin Ruoli's face turn pale.

"Then that's it."

Lin Ruoli didn't bother talking nonsense with her anymore and turned to leave.

Fortunately, it was filmed inside Hengdian City; if it had gone to the suburbs, who knows how long it would take to get back to the hotel.

After walking on the street for more than ten minutes, Lin Ruoli felt tired and sat down by the side of the road.

Watching the crowds coming and going, a sense of desolation suddenly surged into her heart.

The tears she had held back for a long time finally surged out of her eye sockets, drawing two big black lines on her cheeks as they washed away her eyeliner.

Lin Ruoli didn't look in the mirror, but she knew she must look very ugly right now.

And there are many reporters and paparazzi in Hengdian; she estimated that her "ugly" appearance would be on the hot search tonight.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoli's tears flowed even more happily.

And just at the most helpless moment of Lin Ruoli's life, she met her "true goddess."

"Hey girl, do you need a tissue?"

Miss Luo Quan walked up to Lin Ruoli, who was crying with her head down, and asked.

Yes, when she was shopping, the system's talent radar rang again; this time the target was Lin Ruoli, who was crying on the roadside.

Lin Ruoli raised her head and saw a blonde beauty wearing sunglasses.

She was taller than her, and her chest was also bigger than hers.

"Hello." Lin Ruoli sniffed and said.

Miss Luo Quan handed her a tissue, but looking at the "tear stains" on her face, one tissue was probably not enough.

"Eh, I seem to have seen you somewhere; you look a bit familiar." Miss Luo Quan looked at Lin Ruoli's facial features, which were already difficult to recognize, and said.

"I am Lin Ruoli, a first-tier celebrity who is about to cool down." Lin Ruoli took the tissue but didn't wipe her face, just wiped her nose.

Miss Luo Quan laughed: "Oh, that's too coincidental; I am also a celebrity, but I heard you were filming recently, so why are you 'happily cooling down'?"

"It's a long story." Lin Ruoli sighed, her mood low.

"Then how about we find a restaurant and have a chat?" Miss Luo Quan said to Lin Ruoli, raising her finger to point at a Michelin restaurant not far away.

"Alright." Lin Ruoli nodded and got up, walking towards this restaurant.

On one hand, she really wanted to find someone to confide in; on the other hand, she also wanted to quickly wash off the makeup that had been ruined by crying.

Ten minutes later, Lin Ruoli came out of the restaurant restroom, her makeup completely washed off.

Only then did Miss Luo Quan start to carefully examine Lin Ruoli's appearance.

Strictly speaking, Lin Ruoli is not the kind of great beauty with exquisite features in the traditional sense.

But she has a pair of triangular charming eyes that look like a fox; because the corners of her eyes are relatively long, it looks a bit like "squinty eyes."

However, compared to squinty eyes, these eyes are much larger and look much better.

For Miss Luo Quan, this is the way to open a "high-class face."

Although she can't be called a peerless beauty, her temperament is quite good, and she has a special charm and mystery.

If she puts on a better makeup, it can definitely raise her looks to another level.

Of course, even without talking about these things, Lin Ruoli is definitely a beautiful great beauty.

It's just that unlike the traditional oval face or egg-shaped face, Lin Ruoli appears more atmospheric.

"Tell me, why were you crying so sadly on the roadside." Miss Luo Quan asked the waiter to pour two glasses of water; as for what to eat, they would talk about it later.

"I regret it now, very much regret it."

Lin Ruoli hung her head and told the story of herself and her former company.

Afterwards, she added: "If I could have another chance, I would never sign a contract with this company even if it killed me; I wouldn't even touch it!"

Miss Luo Quan said softly: "The past cannot be changed; at least you have finally left this company now; what you need to think about is how to spend the future."

"Future?" Lin Ruoli looked out the window in confusion, "I don't even know how to walk the road of the future."

"How about you come to our company?" Miss Luo Quan asked with a smile.

"Your company?" Lin Ruoli was stunned, then started to observe Miss Luo Quan seriously.

Although the woman in front of her was wearing sunglasses that covered almost half her face, she still saw some clues.

"You... you are Miss Luo Quan!" Lin Ruoli hadn't looked carefully before, and only now discovered that the person she had been chatting with for so long was actually Miss Luo Quan.

"You finally recognized me; I thought I wasn't that famous, that even peers didn't recognize me." Miss Luo Quan said while taking off her sunglasses, revealing her face that was beautiful enough to attract the moon.

"It really is you." Lin Ruoli couldn't help but cover her mouth and sigh, then she remembered what Miss Luo Quan said just now: "What did you mean just now when you said let me go to your company?"

"Literal meaning; come to me and become a member of Springwater Entertainment."

Miss Luo Quan took a business card out of her bag and pushed it in front of Lin Ruoli:

"You should know the name of Springwater Entertainment; the resources are many and the quality is very high; you will have the opportunity to participate in works I write and direct myself, which will definitely be an improvement for you now.

And you just said your reputation is very bad, and you need a capable company to help you reverse it.

You don't have to agree or refuse right away; think about it carefully and give me an answer later."

Lin Ruoli held the business card, a flash of decisiveness in her eyes: "No need to consider; I am willing to join Springwater Entertainment!"

"You really don't learn your lesson." Miss Luo Quan was between laughter and tears; she was just telling me that she had been regretting it until now because she made decisions without using her brain.

As a result, she just escaped, and now she's doing it again? Aren't you afraid that I am the same kind of person as your former company?

"Afraid." Lin Ruoli nodded honestly, "But your reputation in the circle is very good, and you are worth trusting.

Everyone can see how well Wen Xia and Su Yu have developed after entering your company.

To be honest, many celebrities now think about entering Springwater Entertainment, but they all know there is no such opportunity.

I also didn't expect to meet you on the street, and you just happened to take a fancy to me, an outdated artist who has already been squeezed dry."

"Don't be so self-deprecating; your potential is greater than you imagine." Miss Luo Quan smiled mysteriously, "But since you made a decision so quickly, I am certainly willing to sign you; this is the contract, take a look first."

Miss Luo Quan handed the artist contract to Lin Ruoli.

She took it and studied it for more than ten minutes, finally nodding: "No problem, let's go by what's on this contract; by the way, does the company usually have many announcements?"

Miss Luo Quan explained to her: "Our company has always had flexible work; things like movies and TV series are better to be refined than numerous."

Lin Ruoli let out a sigh of relief: "That's great; I've filmed so many TV series recently, I really can't film anymore, I really want to take a break."

Miss Luo Quan smiled: "It doesn't matter; the company doesn't have gambling agreements, no shareholder dividends, and no performance requirements; if you want to rest, you can rest; you only need to take on suitable scripts at suitable times.

Only when the workload is reduced can the quality of work be improved."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoli shed tears of excitement.

She didn't know how long it had been since she heard a boss take the initiative to let her rest; she was always so tired that she had to take the initiative to ask the company for leave.

She didn't expect that just after signing, the boss would say she could work flexibly; this was the first time she had seen such a request.

And other people's flexible work is clearly irregular overtime.

But Springwater Entertainment's is completely the opposite—self-defined rest; it's simply outrageous!

At this moment, Lin Ruoli even doubted whether she had gone to heaven; otherwise, how could she encounter such good things.

"Since you have no problem with the contract, let's go sign it.

But before that, one thing must be solved."

Miss Luo Quan said, getting up and walking straight towards a male guest sitting diagonally behind her.

She sat down beside the man and said: "You must be a reporter for some entertainment news, right?" ===== CHAPTER 850 =====
