Bao Xiaoting happily returned home with the contract and announced to Bao Hongyi and Zhao Li that she had signed a contract with the entertainment company and would soon become a big star.

Bao Hongyi snatched the contract, flipped through it quickly, hugged Bao Xiaoting, and praised Bao Xiaoting for the first time, saying that he had raised a promising daughter.

Bao Xiaoting has been working hard since she was a child, just to hear words of recognition from her father, and to stop saying that she is useless and a money-loser.

When Bao Hongyi wasn't drinking, he managed to act like a decent human being. He was so happy holding the contract that his saliva was about to drop.

"Daughter, the entertainment industry is full of rich people! I heard that they are paid by the minute for filming TV series and movies, and they can get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for a TV series!"

"When the time comes, you can hook up with a few rich men. It will be much easier to make money than marrying into a wealthy family or hanging yourself on a crooked tree!"

Although Bao Xiaoting also meant this, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when hearing these words coming from her father.

Other fathers always advise their daughters to protect themselves, love themselves, and not mess around.

But her father...

Ha ha!

Bao Hongyi's appetite has been whetted by Bao Xiaoting recently, and he is in a lot of foreign debt. He praised Bao Xiaoting for a while and then tentatively asked Bao Xiaoting how much money she had.

How could Bao Xiaoting have any money now?

The extra few months' salary he received when he resigned from Enning Company was not enough to fill Bao Hongyi's stomach.

Besides, Bao Xiaoting wants to keep that little money to buy herself some nice clothes and bags.

If you change your social circle and don’t dress decently, people will look down on you.

Nowadays, people are all concerned about appearance and are snobbish.

Bao Hongyi didn't drink today, so his temper wasn't as bad. He discussed with Bao Xiaoting in a gentle tone and agreed that 500,000 would be enough.

Bao Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief.

She could still barely handle this number.

I heard that the third female lead's pay is more than 300,000 yuan, so her role is more than that of the third female lead. Even if her role is small, she can still earn more than 300,000 yuan for a drama.

For the rest, she went to ask Mr. Zhang.

She is so much younger than Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang keeps her, wouldn't she be worth hundreds of thousands?

Bao Xiaoting comforted Bao Hongyi and promised to give him the money as soon as she received the film remuneration.

Bao Hongyi readily agreed.

Bao Hongyi was particularly easy to talk to today, and Bao Xiaoting was also very happy.

Look!

As long as you are valuable and useful, your alcoholic father will obey you!

When you are alive, no matter it is your family, relatives or husband, you can only have control if you have ability and money.

Bao Xiaoting likes this feeling very much.

I am increasingly convinced that choosing the entertainment industry is the right path.

She even felt a little regretful that she should have entered the entertainment industry earlier and avoided many detours!

After dinner, Bao Xiaoting returned to her room, put on a facial mask, and prepared to have an early beauty sleep.

She wants to take care of herself before the filming starts, so that she can appear on the screen in the best condition.

Zhao Li pushed the door open and lowered her voice to persuade Bao Xiaoting that she should not agree to give money to Bao Hongyi.

Bao Hongyi looks like a decent person today, but if he gets upset or drinks someday, he will definitely make a fuss and ask for money again.

If you don't agree to his request and don't give him hope, he might be quieter.

Bao Xiaoting was very unhappy when she saw her mother blaming her.

She didn't want to give it either, wasn't it just for her mother to have a few days of peace at home?

However, her mother did not understand her good intentions and did not dare to resist Bao Hongyi. Now, seeing her mother's bitter and resentful look, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

Bao Xiaoting and Zhao Li had a quarrel, and Zhao Li's tears suddenly burst out.

"I've tolerated him for so many years, isn't it all for you? If it weren't for you, I would have left him long ago!"

Bao Xiaoting felt a tightness in her chest. She closed her eyes and said weakly, "Yes, it's all my fault. I will find a way to make more money!"

Zhao Li wiped her tears, feeling helpless and expectant, "You are the only one I can count on, Xiaoting."

Bao Xiaoting stayed at home for the next half month.

The study class did not contact her to learn etiquette and acting.

She was also surprised. Could it be that Mr. Zhang had greeted her?

It's really embarrassing and uncomfortable not having to hang out with a bunch of kids, practicing crying and laughing house tricks, and making yourself look like a clown.

At her age, she can no longer let go, and has been accustomed to the workplace for many years, with a serious and capable attitude.

Until the new drama started filming, Bao Xiaoting still did not receive a call from the crew.

She saw in Tan Nuonuo’s circle of friends that Tan Nuonuo attended the opening ceremony, holding a red envelope in his hand and taking a group photo with a group of leading actors.

Bao Xiaoting's heart sank. Could it be that her role had been replaced by someone else again?

She immediately called Mr. Zhang to ask for the reason.

Recently, she had contacted Mr. Zhang several times. Every time they talked about business, Mr. Zhang would change the subject and only ask her for various erotic signs. On the other end, he was playing disgusting things with the Five Finger Girl.

They also had two video calls.

At Mr. Zhang's strong request, he used red envelopes to lure Bao Xiaoting to join the live broadcast.

The red envelopes are not big, only about a few hundred yuan.

Bao Xiaoting didn't want to offend Mr. Zhang, so she accepted it.

Their relationship was so close that when Mr. Zhang replied to tell her that she was the fifth female lead and had no part to play on the day of the start of filming, and he didn't want her to join the crew too early and suffer, that's why he didn't contact her, she believed it.

After waiting for nearly half a month, during which Bao Hongyi got drunk and asked for money several times, Bao Xiaoting finally received a call from the crew, allowing her to join the group.

When she arrived at the crew and the makeup artist put a pale death makeup on Bao Xiaoting's face, Bao Xiaoting realized that the role she was playing this time was an old woman who was dying of poisoning.

There is only one line in the whole play.

Just five short words, or the mumbling of a sick patient.

"Someone is trying to harm me."

When signing the contract, Bao Xiaoting asked Mr. Zhang what role she would play this time.

Mr. Zhang clearly told her that she was the eldest princess who held great power in the court, a very beautiful and elegant woman.

Mr. Zhang didn’t say anything at all. He was a living dead man who was bedridden the entire time and never even opened his eyelids once!

wrong!

According to the script outline, she died in the end and was even cut open by the coroner for an autopsy.

She had thought that the eldest princess, who held great power in the court, must be a very beautiful character, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with pearl hairpins all over her head.

During the past month at home, I have been doing beauty treatments every day, which has kept my skin moisturized and tender.

But in this drama, she had to put on a thick layer of powder every day, and her face was pale, with dark circles under her eyes and black lips.

There is no good makeup!

No wonder she didn’t need training!

What acting skills are needed to play a dead body!

Bao Xiaoting is so angry!

What’s the point of having more shots for a character like this?

She is so ugly and lies on the bed. Even if this drama becomes a big hit, who will remember her?

She immediately called Mr. Zhang, and after several calls, Mr. Zhang finally found time to answer the call.

Bao Xiaoting asked Mr. Zhang to change her role.

The filming has already started, so it is impossible to change the roles at the last minute, otherwise all the previous shots will have to be re-shot.

Bao Xiaoting wants to go on strike.

She doesn't want to play a dead body!

However, since the contract was unilaterally breached, Bao Xiaoting had to pay a high penalty according to the contract.

She is now in a dilemma and can only swallow her anger.

"Xiaoting, this is really a very important role!" Mr. Zhang comforted.

Is it important?

The whole play revolves around the poisoning of the eldest princess. The protagonists have to crack the poisoning methods of the mastermind time and time again, but in the end the mastermind is more skilled. The protagonists try their best to solve the case, but the eldest princess dies without even opening her eyes throughout the whole play.

Although the whole drama creates a very high suspenseful atmosphere, what does it have to do with her?

She just had to lie still.

Bao Xiaoting suddenly had a good idea.
