The next day, Tao Mindai left for the crew first. At about ten o'clock, Yu Xiaobei also got up and dressed up.

Jiang Baige remembered that Tao Mindai said yesterday that Shen Po had agreed with Yu Xiaobei to have an audition today. But she still thought that after what happened yesterday, Yu Xiaobei would not go to see Shen Po again.

"Are you going to see him today?"

"Yeah." Yu Xiaobei nodded - not very firmly, but nodded anyway, "Teacher Shen said that if I agree to his conditions, he will definitely give me a role. He took me to meet the people from that crew before, as long as I accept, I..."

"His conditions...are they what I thought?"

Sex is a difficult topic to talk about, let alone when it is treated as a transaction.

She couldn't say the words "selling her body" to a girl she had known for some time.

This kind of obscurity alone made Yu Xiaobei feel very ashamed.

Her voice, which was not loud to begin with, lowered even lower: "He...he didn't force me. Yesterday, he took me to his house and said that I might go there often in the future. He took me upstairs and he said, Xiao Bei, you are not a child anymore. Even children understand equal exchange, so you don't understand, do you?"

"Did he do anything to you?"

Yu Xiaobei showed a helpless expression: "He kissed me, touched me... I was very flustered. I wanted to reject him, but my intuition told me that I couldn't. If I rejected him, I would completely lose the chance. But I didn't want to. I knew I didn't want to..."

Jiang Baige clenched her fists. She saw Yu Xiaobei crying, her tears sliding down her unmade-up cheeks, leaving a trail of water marks.

"But then his phone rang. At first he didn't want to answer it, and he even turned off all my phones... But the call kept coming, and he had no choice but to answer it. It was a call from work."

After receiving Han Li's call, Shen Po had no choice but to leave immediately.

But he didn't want to let Yu Xiaobei go just like that, so he asked Yu Xiaobei to come here to find him the next day at noon. If she didn't come, she knew what the consequences would be.

"Isn't this considered coercion? This is coercion!"

Fortunately, Tao Mindai was not here, otherwise she was really afraid that after Tao Mindai heard it, she would rush to the crew and fight with Shen Po.

However, since Shen Po could tell Yu Xiaobei to go to him today, he must have arranged everything for the crew. I'm afraid Han Li's method yesterday is no longer effective.

Therefore, Jiang Baige must not let Yu Xiaobei step out of this room.

Yu Xiaobei picked up the pile of cosmetics again and started applying them on her face. It seemed that she had made up her mind.

Jiang Baige didn't know how to stop her and had already started thinking about just knocking her out.

At this time, Yu Xiaobei spoke again: "Sister, thank you. I know you are doing this for my own good... When I came back yesterday, I felt really uncomfortable and awkward. But after thinking about it all day yesterday, I figured it out. It's just sleeping with him, it's no big deal."

"If you sleep with someone you like and voluntarily, I certainly won't worry about you."

"I volunteered." In the mirror, Yu Xiaobei forced a wry smile on her face. "Just like he said, this is an equal exchange. I gave him what he wanted, and he gave me a role. Sister Bai Ge, you know this, right? This is my dream. If I don't succeed this time, I will never have another chance."

Jiang Baige certainly understands.

If she had the support of her family, perhaps she could take it slow, but she only had this one chance, and she had no choice but to sell her body to get a shortcut.

Of course, she hasn’t had any good opportunities for such a long time since she was in school. Perhaps this means that she has no “talent” or “luck”. Perhaps even if she enters this circle, there may not be good results.

But just like Jiang Baige's writing, after writing for three or four years without any results, should she give up?

Although their pursuit of dreams may seem ridiculous in the eyes of others, their persistence does not hurt anyone.

Yu Xiaobei added: "Don't we all know that in this industry, if you want to be successful and before you are qualified to be picky, isn't it like this? Artists' bodies are not their own, but commodities. It's just that they are used in one way on stage and in another way behind the scenes."

"Do you really think so? Are you willing?"

"There is no such thing as being willing or unwilling. This is my own choice. If it wasn't Shen Po, it could have been someone else. I have to sell myself out and get a good price so that I can have a bright future... As long as I can get a good role, become famous, and soar to the sky, I won't have to endure all this."

When Yu Xiaobei said these words, there was a sneer on her face, an expression she had never had before.

Just like these words about "shortcuts" and "selling out oneself", Yu Xiaobei had never said them before.

She certainly had never thought of it this way before, otherwise she would have taken this shortcut and got what she wanted long ago, and wouldn't have wasted time until now.

But she thought so now.

It was hard for Jiang Baige to imagine how much Shen Po had subtly brainwashed Yu Xiaobei during the period when she was most at a loss and anxious - he was such a master, no wonder he drove Yu Xiaobei crazy back then.

He made an exquisite fishing bait, drew a mouth-watering cake, and put it in front of Yu Xiaobei using both soft and hard tactics to make her take the bait.

She had to take the bait, she had no other choice.

But the problem is that the "sacrifice" she chose is meaningless.

Because Shen Po will not give her any role, but will control her step by step and make her his plaything: Yu Xiaobei thought she was pursuing her dream, but in fact she was just falling into the trap of the evil man step by step.

"What time do you guys meet today?"

"Half past twelve."

It’s less than two hours away, but Shen Po lives not far from here and it won’t take more than half an hour by taxi.

Yu Xiaobei sitting here seemed to be saying a silent farewell to herself.

"In that case, I'll let you look at some things... If you want to go again after you've finished looking at these things, I won't stop you."

Yu Xiaobei turned around in surprise and watched Jiang Baige take out two folders from her bag, wondering what she was trying to do.

Jiang Baige didn't say anything, but handed the thing to Yu Xiaobei: "You will know after you read it."

Yu Xiaobei took the folder and opened it. Inside were various color printed photos, various chat records, and some people's personal information.

She didn't read very quickly, but soon found the common points, and her expression slowly froze...
