Chapter 581 Disgust

Xu Ziqi was ultimately unable to win over Sister Zhao. Although she was a top star outside, she had to obey the company's arrangements inside the company, even if she was not so willing in her heart.

Sister Zhao was not surprised by Xu Ziqi's "surrender". This was not the first time that Xu Ziqi had lost her temper because of the company's "good intentions", and in the end she had to surrender obediently.

First of all, although Xu Ziqi had a little temper, she was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Sister Zhao knew this very well. Although Xu Ziqi's success had a lot to do with her own talent and hard work, it was also inseparable from the company's cultivation. Xu Ziqi was still grateful to the company in her heart.

Secondly, Xu Ziqi's contract is in the company. When she signed the contract, Xu Ziqi was still very young and didn't know much about these things. She was only immersed in the joy of singing and acting, and didn't realize that she signed an overbearing clause. If she wanted to leave the company or disobey the company's arrangements, she would have to pay a great price. Even though Xu Ziqi has earned a lot in recent years, this price is still not a trivial matter for her.

Therefore, although Xu Ziqi often gets angry because of the company's various arrangements and various high-intensity work, she will still choose to comply in the end. Sister Zhao has been with her for so many years and understands this very well.

"Tonight's cocktail party is hosted by the Jiang family, one of the five major families in Jiangzhou. The purpose is to pave the way and build momentum for a young man in their family. Therefore, all the celebrities invited tonight are from all walks of life in Jiangzhou. These people are very powerful in Jiangzhou, and some even have a good status in the whole country. So, don't make any mistakes in the evening. After the performance, I will take you around and meet more people." Sister Zhao said to Xu Ziqi who was putting on makeup.

"I know." Xu Ziqi responded a little angrily. Now she has no choice but to accept it.

Sister Zhao didn't care and continued: "In addition to you, the Jiang family also invited some other stars in the entertainment industry to come and support, including Lan Qiang."

"She's coming too?" Xu Ziqi said in surprise.

"Yes." Sister Zhao nodded and affirmed: "So, your performance must not go wrong."

Xu Ziqi nodded silently.

Lan Qiang is a star who has become popular in recent years. She debuted two years later than Xu Ziqi, but she is very aggressive and has more resources and background than Xu Ziqi.

The company behind Xu Ziqi is not a big company. This company has gained some fame because it discovered and cultivated Xu Ziqi. However, except for Xu Ziqi, no one else in the company can be on the stage. The connections and resources they have are naturally limited.

Lan Qiang is different. She relies on a big sponsor behind her. She spends money and resources to make Lan Qiang become the top traffic in China in three or two years. She and Xu Ziqi have cooperated, but more of them are competition.

The entertainment industry is cruel. There are only so many resources. If others take more, you will have less. Therefore, the competition between peers of the same age and sex is very fierce. Fans on the Internet often attack other stars who are in competition for their own idols.

Xu Ziqi's background is not as good as Lan Qiang's. If she hadn't been so strong and had a large number of loyal fans, her position might have been replaced by Lan Qiang long ago. However, even so, Lan Qiang has always been eyeing her position and wants to replace her at any time.

Although Xu Ziqi would tell Sister Zhao when she was angry that whoever liked her position could take it, she would not be willing to accept it if someone really took it away. After all, she had worked hard for many years to get to this position now. If she lost it, she would definitely be reluctant.

Therefore, facing the aggressive Lan Qiang, Xu Ziqi never dared to be careless. She knew that with the opponent's strength, she might be surpassed if she was negligent.

An hour later, Xu Ziqi finished her makeup and went to the Jiang family villa with Sister Zhao. Tonight's cocktail party was held at the Jiang family villa.

"This is a private villa. Please show the invitation." Two bodyguards stopped Sister Zhao and Xu Ziqi in front of the Jiang family villa.

Although Xu Ziqi's face was well-known throughout the country, the two bodyguards still stopped them.

"This is our invitation." Sister Zhao handed the invitation to one of the bodyguards, who took a look and let them go.

Sister Zhao and Xu Ziqi were able to enter the villa. They were both familiar with this situation. In front of the real wealthy and prestigious families, those of them who were in the entertainment industry did not have a high status, and those people could not always praise them like fans.

"Miss Xu?"

Xu Ziqi and Sister Zhao had just entered the villa and were still looking at the environment when a voice sounded, and then a young man walked towards them with a smile on his face.

"Ziqi, this is Master Jiang Yu, and he is also the protagonist tonight." Sister Zhao, who had done her homework in advance, recognized the person at a glance and quickly introduced Xu Ziqi.

"Hello, Master Jiang." Xu Ziqi greeted with a reserved smile on her face.

"Good evening, Miss Xu." Jiang Yu stared at Xu Ziqi with his eyes fixed on her. The aggressive look in his eyes made Xu Ziqi feel uncomfortable. "I've known for a long time that Miss Xu is a peerless beauty. Today, I see that she is indeed as beautiful as her reputation says. Miss Xu is even more beautiful than what you see on TV. If I say that Miss Xu is the most beautiful woman in the entertainment industry, no one will object."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jiang." Xu Ziqi moved her steps slightly, avoiding Jiang Yu's gaze and said, "There are many people in the entertainment industry who are prettier than me. I don't deserve the title of the most beautiful woman."

"Ms. Xu definitely deserves it." Jiang Yu said, "I don't know if Miss Xu has time after the cocktail party. I want to invite Miss Xu to go out for a midnight snack and chat."

"I don't..." Xu Ziqi was about to refuse, but Sister Zhao next to her spoke first: "Ziqi, it's okay. It's Ziqi's honor to be able to have a midnight snack and chat with Mr. Jiang."

Xu Ziqi glanced at Sister Zhao with some annoyance, but Sister Zhao didn't look at her, but looked at Jiang Yu.

"Then it's settled. After the cocktail party, I'll pick up Miss Xu and we'll go out and have fun together." Jiang Yu's smile became even bigger, and there seemed to be some other meaning in that smile.

After getting Xu Ziqi's consent, Jiang Yu left with satisfaction. He was already thinking about the "date" after the cocktail party.
