Meng Yao yawned, her long, slightly curly hair hanging lazily around her waist. She crossed her hands over her chest, looking less like someone who was looking forward to the outcome and more like someone who was just joining in the fun.
Seeing her sleepy look, Guan Liang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"No." Meng Yao always feels tired and sleepy when facing things that she is not interested in.
"You must listen to what I say. I am sincerely doing this for your own good. You must be more capable." Guan Liang is dressed like a business elite, but when he speaks he sounds like an old mother who works hard and is never complaining.
Meng Yao yawned again, tears welling up in her eyes, and replied nonchalantly, "Ah... OK."
Guan Liang knew that her lazy nature could not be changed in a short time, so he simply turned his head and looked at the screen attentively. He was still looking forward to this ranking.
Meng Yao stood lazily with one of her long legs stretched forward, the posture of a second-rate person. However, she was pretty, and there was a hint of ruffian spirit between her brows. Others just thought that her posture was indescribably cool.
Meng Yao narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes and quickly caught sight of Meng Qingqing's figure. She was still as pure and flawless as a little white flower, but she seemed to have been feeling uncomfortable recently, with a cloud of worry between her brows.
However, the heroines of Mary Sue literature never lack ardent fans. Meng Qingqing just stood there casually and instantly attracted a lot of people to come over and talk to her, praising her delicate makeup and fair and flawless face, and praising her from her hair to her toes.
Meng Qingqing blushed after hearing everyone's praise, and quickly said: "Don't say that, I'm just an ordinary person, I can't stand everyone's praise..."
The moment she raised her head, she saw Meng Yao and her vicious expression almost couldn't be suppressed.
Meng Yao sneered lightly, raised her eyebrows provocatively, and retracted her gaze.
Meng Qingqing couldn't help but clench her hands into fists. She didn't want to do anything, but Meng Yao came to provoke her.
Why on earth is Meng Yao so hostile to me, stealing my limelight time and time again, and either insulting or provoking me when facing me
Meng Qingqing couldn't swallow the anger in her heart.
"Sister, I didn't expect you to be in the hall. This is really fate!"
Meng Yao turned around to look at Meng Qingqing, she didn't expect that she would actually come over. Meng Qingqing's voice sounded gentle, but if you listened carefully, you could find the coldness and resentment that could not be concealed in it.
Meng Yao smiled gently. Sometimes she felt that Meng Qingqing was indeed stupid, pretending deliberately and being hypocritical. However, in Mary Sue literature, the heroine does not need to have high IQ and martial arts. She only needs to have the aura of the heroine to fascinate everyone and only care about the love-hate relationship with the hero.
Meng Qingqing was already in a highly tense state, and she felt embarrassed and annoyed by her smile. She felt that Meng Yao was laughing at her.
"What kind of fate do I have with you? It's not even a bad fate. There is no relationship between us. Don't call me sister in the future. I feel ashamed!"
As soon as Meng Yao said this, Meng Qingqing frowned instantly.
Meng Qingqing has someone following her who can help her out.
"Meng Yao, Meng Yao, do you really think that you will be invincible if your acting skills improve a little and those netizens praise you? Your character is not good, who doesn't know this!?"
"If you didn't have a good family background, do you think you could have come this far? Without your backing, you'd be nothing!"
…
Meng Qingqing stood in front of those people and did not say anything to dissuade them, but her pair of bright black eyes inevitably revealed a hint of pride.
Meng Yao smiled coldly. Her bones were three-dimensional and hard, not gentle. When she smiled carelessly and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, she looked like a scoundrel, but once her face turned cold, she looked like a living devil who wanted to take her life.
"You think I'm embarrassing? Then go away. Why are you approaching me so eagerly?"
Meng Qingqing was standing at the front of the group and was also startled out of the blue. Meng Yao's words were still harsh, but after washing off her vulgar smoky makeup, she didn't look approachable even when she was wearing the most oversized and casual clothes.
The people who were speaking just now have become mute now.
Meng Qingqing regained her expression: "Sister, they are just playing a joke on you, don't be so sensitive, not everyone is targeting you."
Meng Qingqing's eyes unconsciously emitted a soft light, and she looked like the Virgin Mary who was trying to influence people. Meng Yao really felt sick and wanted to vomit.
"I'm stingy? I just joked with you just now, and I didn't see how generous your followers were. The governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps. Meng Qingqing, you really played this trick!"
Meng Qingqing looked embarrassed, as if someone had exposed her innermost thoughts: "I definitely didn't mean what you said..."
Meng Yao snorted: "Don't hang around in front of me. You'll know how powerful I am when the rankings are released. A fool like you is not even worthy of polishing my shoes!"
Meng Yao finally found an excuse to say the last words.
Yes, in fact, this is another face-slapping plot. And it is a very important face-slapping plot. "Tianya Xing" is Meng Qingqing's famous work. It is not enough to just say how great she is. Only with comparison can you feel refreshed. Meng Yao provoked and was slapped in the face right after. This contrast came out.
According to Meng Yao's understanding, readers outside of books like to read this kind of plot, so she is acting fierce and annoying now, and then after being slapped in the face by Meng Qingqing, she will show an expression of disbelief like a stray dog and that's it.
Meng Yao was already familiar with this old routine.
Meng Qingqing seemed to be annoyed by her, and could hardly keep the kindness and harmlessness on her face: "Then wait and see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge electronic screen began to refresh the data rapidly, and subtitles scrolled one by one.
In fact, there is a reason why so many artists are fighting for a place on the list. The rule of Huanzhen Entertainment is survival of the fittest. The higher the ranking, the more attention the company will get. Otherwise, no one will care. For example, the annual meeting held regularly by Huanzhen Entertainment every year stipulates that only the top 30 can participate. The annual meeting gathers all kinds of bigwigs, directors, producers and company bosses. This is a good opportunity for negotiation. Artists can often get satisfactory resources and make strong connections.
When Meng Yao saw the ranking list, she was too lazy to look up. She turned her head to look at Meng Qingqing, and showed a surprised expression just like the description in the plot: "Meng Qingqing, how can you be so amazing..."
Before she finished her lines, she saw Meng Qingqing's face flushed, not with happiness or joy, but with shame and anger.
