Now, the truth was out.
The onlookers looked at each other in disbelief. Li Yan’s company actually chose someone else instead of Bai Xue, the future lady boss.
In order to compete with Jiang Ling’er, Bai Xue had lied about being chosen for the Chen Group’s audition. Now that Jiang Ling’er had exposed her lie with a single phone call, Bai Xue was embarrassed. She wanted to tear Jiang Ling’er apart.
Jiang Ling’er looked at Bai Xue mockingly. “Are you going to continue lying and say that Liu Yanyan stole your place last minute?”
Bai Xue was about to nod and say yes.

Bai Xue’s expression changed, and she lost control of her emotions and spat, “It’s not like what you said at all. That spot was originally mine. Li Yan said that I get first dibs when it comes to choosing projects. This time, some of the staff in the company sabotaged my chances. They gave my quota to someone else and deliberately didn’t tell me about the canceled audition. It’s obvious they just wanted to make a fool of me.”
Jiang Ling’er’s smile widened as Li Yan’s lack of concern about the company’s financial troubles confirmed the rumors she had heard about talented actors leaving. Initially, she had thought those rumors were baseless, but now they appeared to be true.
Jiang Ling’er remarked, “I had a feeling about this. If someone at the company bullies you, it’s because Li Yan permits it. When the truth comes to light, it takes courage to confront it. Bai Xue, give it your all. If you get kicked out one day, don’t shed tears. Stay strong.”
Wen Nuan chimed in, “With all the bootlickers waiting to serve her, Bai Xue won’t be at a loss even if she leaves Li Yan.”
“Li Yan?” Jiang Ling’er pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, “As of now, none of her bootlickers can match up to Li Yan, can they?”
Wen Nuan replied, “Oh, her many bootlickers’ loyalty is off the charts. Ling’er, we better be careful; otherwise, we might get ‘bitten’ to death without even realizing it.”
Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as did the onlookers.
“Jiang Ling’er, one day you’ll regret this,” Bai Xue said angrily before running away in tears.
Jiang Ling’er didn’t seem fazed by her departure. Instead, she turned her attention to Song Qingfeng.
With a hint of sarcasm, Jiang Ling’er said, “Class hunk, you were so sympathetic and protective just a moment ago. Here’s your chance; why don’t you go comfort your master?”
Song Qingfeng replied awkwardly, “I don’t idolize her. 1 just didn’t know she was lying, and 1 felt sorry for her, so…”
Wen Nuan mocked, “Bai Xue is pitiable? That’s rich.”
Jiang Ling’er, in an indifferent tone, added, “Her acting skills in pretending to be pitiable are top-notch. It’s no surprise you were deceived. If she didn’t have any talent, why would she have so many bootlickers around her?
Unfortunately, she’s just a clown in my eyes. Anyone who wants to stand up for her should question their qualifications first. Don’t fall into a trap while trying to help her.”
Song Qingfeng felt an oppressive atmosphere and refrained from saying anything further. Being dominated by a woman like this was tough for him, but there was nothing he could do. Jiang Ling’er’s presence grew stronger.

Just then, her phone rang, and she furrowed her brows. She had been hoping to take a day off, and she didn’t have any scheduled activities. Who could be calling at this hour?
Puzzled, Jiang Ling’er took out her phone and smiled when she saw the caller’s name.
Without waiting for her to speak, a teasing voice on the other end said, “Little Ling’er, guess who I am?”
“My dear consort,” Jiang Ling’er replied with a smile, “why are you calling me this early in the morning?”
“Don’t be so cheeky. Just call me Brother Yang,” Qiu Yang insisted.
“Brother Yang, what’s up?” Jiang Ling’er inquired.
Qiu Yang got straight to the point, saying, “My mother has her heart set on the bracelet you’re endorsing, but she hasn’t been able to purchase it. She’s a bit upset. Can you help me acquire one? I’d like to surprise my mom.”
“I’m just a part-time worker. How can 1 secure it for you?” Jiang Ling’er responded.
“Oh, come on, do me a favor. My mom really loves it,” Qiu Yang implored.
Jiang Ling’er explained, “I filmed six videos last time, and there are two bracelets. One is the Nan Hong, and the other is the Tian Hong. Which one are you talking about? Send me a picture..”
