Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

722 An Old and Ugly Sponsor

Since her father was the greatest stakeholder of Cathay Entertainment, which was the main sponsor of the drama, it came as no surprise that the leading female role must would be assigned to his daughter. There wasn't any other reason for her to not be made the female lead of the drama.

Tang Mo'er looked at Qi Xi. "So this President Bai is the boss of Cathay Entertainment?"

Qi Xi shook her head in response. "I don't think that's the case, it's said that Cathay Entertainment is a subsidiary of a conglomerate business. The President of that corporation is the real boss of Cathay Entertainment."

But Qi Xi couldn't recall the name of the corporation.

The door of the luxurious van was pushed open, and Bai Feifei alighted from it.

It was true that Bai Feifei was a beautiful woman, the maxi dress she was wearing perfectly enhanced her beautiful, hourglass figure. However, her personality wasn't the best as she was born into a wealthy family and was known to be a haughty person.

"Mo'er, this Bai Feifei's acting isn't that good at all. Almost half of all her scenes in dramas or movies are shot using body doubles and she even has to rely on post-production editing most of the time. However, since she does have the looks and a resourceful father, she has the best resources on hand. Along with the power of the public relations department in Cathay Entertainment, Bai Feifei has managed to acquire a group of diehard fans. Look, she only debuted for not long but she has already managed to become the leader of the four most popular female stars."

The fact is, Qi Xi actually despised untalented female stars like Bai Feifei the most. To her, those superficial stars who only managed to rise to popularity with the help of their family background and connections, frankly, just irritated her to no end. If Mo'er hadn't disappeared for three years, Bai Feifei would never have been able to become the leader of the four most popular female stars.

Speak of the devil… Bai Feifei walked over in their direction just as they were discussing her. It seemed she had spotted Tang Mo'er in one glance.

There wasn't anyone in the entertainment who didn't know who Tang Mo'er was, moreover, Bai Feifei was the leader of the four most popular female stars, she must have known. With Tang Mo'er being the previous leader of the four most popular female stars, she naturally invited the attention of Bai Feifei, since women were creatures who loved comparing things. Bai Feifei carefully studied her from head to toe.

"You're Tang Mo'er?"

Even her tone was condescending and full of contempt.

Qi Xi wanted to speak up, but before she could do so Tang Mo'er already stopped her from doing so. Tang Mo'er looked in Bai Feifei's eyes, smiling ungrudgingly. "I am."

Today, Tang Mo'er wore a black blouse with a pearl embellished collar and a yellow-striped long skirt underneath, sporting an elegant style. Her wavy hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and her skin seemed even more fair in contrast with the black blouse, her beauty enhanced and she was just like a perfect piece of art from afar.

As Bai Feifei had always thought of herself as the greatest beauty in the entire entertainment industry, seeing Tang Mo'er's ravishing beauty, she could not help but feel a stinging jealousy inside. She sent a cold-eyed stare in Tang Mo'er's direction before she spun around and flounced up the stairs.

"Mo'er, I feel like this Bai Feifei seems a little hostile."

Tang Mo'er winked playfully at Qi Xi. "Haiz, this is probably the woes of being a beauty."

Qi Xi giggled after hearing her. "Mo'er, are you happy now after joking around? Let's go and choose our room, there aren't going to be any left if we don't hurry up."

The cast of 'The Concubine' had already been set, most of the characters would be portrayed by popular female stars in the industry and the crew had made it clear that no rooms were assigned and to be fair, availability was based on a first come first served basis.

But Bai Feifei was a special case, she naturally occupied the Presidential Suite.

By the time Tang Mo'er and Qi Xi rushed to choose their room, there was only one left for them.

Han Xiaowan was also present, she instantly sniggered. "Oh my, Sister, you're too late. There's only one room left, you have no other choice but to stay there."

Han Xiaowan then waved the gold room card she held around gloatingly. "See, I'm occupying the executive suite."

Rolling her eyes at Han Xiaowan, Qi Xi held back a sneer. Why did this woman appear everywhere they went? Was she a leech?

Next to her, Tang Mo'er remained impassive. To be honest, it didn't matter to her whichever room she had to stay in. She talked to the crew member, "I'll occupy the leftover room then. Can I please have the key card?"

The crew member asked politely, "May I know if you are Miss Tang?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Miss Tang, my apologies, I can't give you this room."

"What?" Qi Xi was not happy at all and her mouth twitched in displeasure. "There's only one room left, if you're not going to let Mo'er have it, where is she going to stay then?"

"Ha ha ha!" Han Xiaowan couldn't restrain her laughter. "Sister, did you offend someone unknowingly? What have you landed yourself in now? Just imagine, Tang Mo'er, the female star with more than a hundred million fans can't even get a room to stay in now."

By now, Han Xiaowan's wicked laughter had attracted the attention of many other females stars and they started to glance over and tongues began to wag.

"Look at what happened to Tang Mo'er, could it be that she has been blacklisted?"

"Who knows? Look at the plight she's in now, she's so pitiful."…

The female stars in the entertainment industry all behaved in the same pretentious ways, they weren't genuine in their words and would often bow to the powerful while trampling on the powerless. Everyone looked at Tang Mo'er with sympathy, pity, scorn and some even sneered at her.

Tang Mo'er furrowed her brows.

A hotel manager suddenly hurried over and he bowed his head respectfully. "Hello, are you Miss Tang? Please pardon my tardiness Miss Tang, we've been waiting for your arrival. I'm the manager of this hotel, and this is your room key card."

The hotel manager handed over a gilded black card over to Tang Mo'er.

A gilded black card.

The mouths of the female stars surrounding them all fell open. "Oh my god, it's a gilded black card. That's the key card to the Prestigious Presidential Suite, there's only one of that room in the entire hotel. It's said that the boss of the hotel owns that room for his own use."

"Then why did the manager pass the gilded black key card to Tang Mo'er?"

"How is Tang Mo'er related to the boss of this hotel?"…

Han Xiaowan was also stunned, she hadn't expected such a dramatic plot twist. Tang Mo'er had actually gotten the gilded black card? How had something like this even happened?

Tang Mo'er was also confused, why did she even receive the gilded black card? But since it was arranged by the hotel manager, she just accepted it without further questions. "Thank you, Qi Xi, let's go."

"Okay." Qi Xi was feeling all proud as she left with Tang Mo'er.

As soon as the pair left, Han Xiaowan turned around to ask another female star standing behind her as she watched Tang Mo'er leave. "Do you know who's the boss of this hotel?"

"I don't know, the boss of this hotel is extremely mysterious. We've never met him before."

What? Han Xiaowan gnashed her teeth in hatred. How did Tang Mo'er manage to find another rich man again?

But since the boss of this hotel was so wealthy, he must be an old and ugly man. Then clearly Tang Mo'er must have been sponsored by him!

What a shameless woman!

…

After taking a short rest in the hotel, everyone rushed onto the set in order to prepare for shooting the first scene of the day.

"Miss Tang, here's your dressing room. Please follow me."

A makeup artist pushed open the door. "Miss Tang, please have a seat here. I'll go get an eyeshadow brush and will be back in a second."

The makeup artist was a young lady, she spoke gently and Tang Mo'er just sat on the bench while she replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you here, go ahead."

The makeup artist left the dressing room.

As Tang Mo'er sat in the room and waited, it wasn't long before she heard some footsteps and the room door was pushed open. Bai Feifei and her manager entered the room.

Bai Feifei's manager was stunned once she saw Tang Mo'er sitting in the room, her face darkening. "Tang Mo'er, why are you here? This is Feifei's personal dressing room, are you intending to invade her space?"
