    Two ringster, the deep voice of a man resounded from the other end of the phone. "Hello, Xueyi. Good day."


    "How do you do, Ye Cheng?"


    "Fine. And you?"


    "Never been better, but I think what I am about to offer would make your day better."


    A knowing smile shed in Ye Cheng''s eyes. Ever since he met Liu Xueyi, he has never been disappointed with anything rting to the young man and his wife.


    And doing business with him meant Dream Star was simply spreading more than usual to every corner of the country.


    "Speak. I''m listening."


    "How would you love to be one of the investors in Starlight Entertainment Industry?"


    "My, oh my... I thought that was one link you wanted me to stay off from, Liu Xueyi." Ye Cheng uttered and chuckled after.


    "It was."


    "Then, what changed?" Ye Cheng inquired.


    "Let''s just say I had a change of heart." The topside of Liu Xueyi''s lips curled in a smirk as he awaited Ye Cheng''s response.


    "Interesting. You know me. When you put it this way, how can I refuse? Count me in. We''ll discuss the detailster. For now, I need to leave for a meeting."


    "Sure. Good day."


    Mr. Lian''s respect and pride for Liu Xueyi skyrocketed by how thetter conversed easily with the mighty Ye Cheng, the all-time businessman in the country.


    "It seems we have a little bit of things under wrap, Mr. Lian," Liu Xueyi informed him, his grin growing wider. "Let the Fangs dance, we''ll be sure to y along."

    In a month, themercial with its romantic theme featuring Liu Xueyi and Andromeda was a massive hit; one people couldn''t get enough of it due to the couple''s on-screen chemistry.


    The advertisement went viral, gaining millions of views in just a few days, and the inte was flooded withments about how adorable Liu Xueyi and Andromeda were together.


    Fang Qian Qian, who had been quietly watching from the shadows, couldn''t contain her jealousy. She had always been envious of Andromeda''s rising fame and her close rtionship with Liu Xueyi.


    Now, seeing the two of them together in such a romantic setting, her jealousy reached new heights. It was one thing having her as his lover but for Andromeda to steal the fan''s opinion of the perfect couple pairing with Liu Xueyi/Ye Yuan on set, made her heart boil further.


    To Fang Qian Qian, it felt as though she could not escape thetter''s shadow, and it was really bing a pain in the ass.


    She was haunted by the fact that Andromeda was stealing her spotlight. Fang Qian Qian had always been a popr actress, but now it seemed like the audience''s attention was shifting. Her fiercepetitiveness and desire to stay on top were consuming her.


    Deciding that if Andromeda was going to y this game, she would y it too, Fang Qian Qian thought it best to give Andromeda the massive blow.


    She knew how much Andromeda was affected by the fan''sment thest time and thought it best to rile up again.


    However, this time she was going darker, digging into Andromeda''s past to make her look bad.


    For starters, Fang Qian Qian sorted out more projects, taking on even the lower ones she discarded before.


    However, nature seemed not to be on her side as her clients rather chased after Andromeda.


    One thing Zheng Wei did was to sieve out those projects that would help lift Andromeda''s shine, making her more popr, while still giving in every now and then to smaller gigs.


    By this time, almost everyone wanted nothing to do with Fang Qian Qian since she wasn''t thetest star.


    To top it up, Andromeda''s beauty outmatched hers. And those who considered her only did so by reducing their mary offer to her while waiting to shoot with Andromeda.


    Determined to outshine her younger rival, she took some deals, not because it was worth it but to ensure her name still lingered.


    Regardless, thepetition between them escted, and they often found themselvespeting for the same roles and endorsements—though Andromeda could hardly call this apetition.


    She was winning on every side. Hell-bent on rising in her new career like Liu Xueyi wanted, Andromeda did her best whenever, no matter how tiring things got.


    The entertainment industry buzzed with their rivalry, but Fang Qian Qian couldn''t let it go.


    She was relentless in her pursuit of fame and recognition, even if it meant trying to overshadow Andromeda.


    Thanks to this, Yu Wen soon saw things differently. epting the fact that she had been used and discarded by Fang Qian Qian for her selfish gain in the guise of helping her.


    Not only was her rage centred on Andromeda''s fame, but she was also determined to get Fang Qian Qian one way or the other.


    Stepping out of her new Range Rover jeep, Fang Qian Qian''s sudden appearance at a shopping mall became a buzz as most of her fans were eager to catch a glimpse of her and get her autograph.


    She had used this to raise her name higher, stealing a bit of spotlight from Andromeda.


    Smiling at theptop screen in front of Peng Xiaoli''s desk, Andromeda scoffed, herughter shining through her eyes as she shook her head and took some steps away from the twodies.


    Severalments fell out from their lips behind her at how condescending Fang Qian Qian was, having witnessed her character firsthand.


    But Andromeda wasn''t bothered. If there was anything gained from this, she grew in the face of opposition andpetition.


    Excellence and shining came naturally, thanks to her intelligence. Turning to the side, a knowing smile formed on her lips, spilling into her eyes as she watched her assistants.


    If Fang Qian Qian wanted apetition, she decided to put more effort into creating that. Who needed a spa or shopping time to connect with fans when there were better means?


    "Hey girls, how about this?"
