Bai Zhenzhen sat down at the table to have her breakfast when her phone began to ring. The aroma of the Noodles was to die for just the scent of it made her salivate.
As soon as she sat, she picked up her chopsticks and brought some Noodles a few inches from her mouth. When her phone rang and she froze.
She swore beneath her breath and muttered, "Of all the times, it just had to be now. When i am about to settle the raging monster in my stomach?
Was she about to get her due retribution for bullying it out of her younger brother's hands? No that's too soon not that she was expecting retribution of any kind with how unlucky she was. She doubts karma will even bother her.
The phone just kept ringing as she was contemplating picking it up. Seeing as the caller was bent on disturbing her meal she might as well pick up the call and put whoever it was out of their misery.
It had better not be a telemarketer trying to sell her something. However, if it was, it would also work in her favor, she would just vent her anger on the unfortunate telemarketer.
She poured back the food and placed the chopsticks on the table with a slam. Then picked up the phone to see who it was.
Blowing her hair out of her face she took a glance. Seeing that it was her Dog manager, she sighed and swiped to accept the call.
As soon as the call went through her manager didn't even wait for her to talk and began ranting loudly. It was so loud that she had to move the phone away from her ears. She could already feel a migraine coming up.
"Oy Zhenzhen who do you think you are? Do you think you are a big celebrity? You aren't even up to the level of an internet celebrity and yet you're putting up airs. How pathetic!
I have been calling you for a while and it's now your answer. You have no manners, why should I even bother with you. You're a hopeless case you hear me hopeless"
"Sorry Mr. He, I wasn't with my phone. Please don't be angry with me" She said trying to appease him.
This dog manager of hers liked to shout. He wasn't happily working with her and after three years doesn't bother to act civil anymore.
She hasn't had any work for some time, but she doubted it was the case with his favorite artists.
His phone calls today must mean that her luck must have changed. She was really in need of money. She had a lot of bills due.
She hasn't been working for two years so the bills were piling up nicely. Luckily her younger brother who was staying with her was working, so he paid most of the bills. If it wasn't for him she would be starving and homeless by now.
It had gotten so bad that she has even considered going back to her hometown but the shame of going back home to her mother who was so proud of her working in the city was too great.
Luckily that silly brother of hers is smart enough not to tattle the tale. Since the dog manager has called she might as well indulge him.
"Zhenzhen I've told you several times as an artist you have to make sure that your phone is always within reach," the Dog manager said.
"Get over to AZ studio, I got you a small role in Mina's weekend drama it's quite small. It's only a ten minutes scene and You don't have to read a script at all.
It is quite simple you have no lines all you have to just have to walk down the runway in a wedding gown.
The only reason you got this part is that the actress that would have played that role had a minor accident this morning and has to stay back at the hospital for some time.
Bai Zhenzhen, aren't you ashamed of yourself? You debuted at the same time as Mina but here she is playing a female lead role while you are still playing passerby roles, that's what you get for being so stubborn.
Stop being stubborn and listen to me anyway if that's a conversation for another day make it snappy you have 30 minutes to get here" he said and cut the call. she didn't even waste any more time.
She stood and ran into the bedroom to get dressed and head over to the studio. After all these years she knew not to mess with this dog manager of hers. He Could already have someone else standing by for the role.
After getting dressed she ran out of the house, locked the door, and quickly filed down a taxi, and got in. She was in such a hurry that she didn't even remember that she had left her food eating.
After some time she finally got to the studio and after paying the taxi driver she got down and walked into the studio.
On arrival, she quickly caught sight of her manager who called her forward, he stood next to Yu Mina. She walked up to them and bowed in greeting everyone.
Though they both debuted at the same time, You Mina and herself never got along. The ignorant public believed that Mina worked hard for every success in her career.
When everyone in the industry knew Yu Mina always obeyed the unspoken rule and her dog manager being the dog that he was, supported it. This was the main reason why they both never got along.
"Sisters Zhenzhen I can't believe you're still playing such small roles after all these years, it's a good thing that the actress had an accident, or who knows if you had gotten an opportunity to play a role in a drama. It's not easy being independent now is it" Yu Mina said in fake concern.
She most definitely did not care about anything, every word that came out of her mouth was just designed to hurt.
"You follow me, let's get you dressed, there isn't much time," her dog manager said, directing her to the closet.
After getting dressed she sat down in front of the mirror as the makeup artist applied her makeup.
The makeup artist was very chatty, as soon as Bai Zhenzhen sat down she began complimenting her on her skin texture and suggesting good skincare and treatment.
The makeup artist was so impressed with her face that she even collected her Mobile number and requested that she act as her face model one of these days. She was only playing a small role so as soon as they made it.
She thanked the makeup artist and was directed by the production assistant to her position the director quickly explained the scene she was to playing and a few minutes later the camera began to roll.
it took her only one try to complete the scene and by the time she was done, She left every member of the crew speechless as she acted so naturally, that one would think it was real.
The crew members had a banquet after the day's shoot so as soon as she was done the director was so satisfied with her that he invited her to join them for the feast in the private room.
Her scene was the last so so they were done, she quickly undressed and when returned to her normal clothes then joined the rest of the crew and headed to a private room.
The banquet was already going on when she took an excuse to head to the bathroom.
She had just finished doing her business and was washing her hand when the bathroom door opened and Yu Mina walked into the room.
After drying her hand she began heading out of the room when she was pulled back by her hair. "I only let you play a little role and you already think you run the world you little b****," Yu Minna said angrily.
Bai Zhenzhen wasn't even a little bit surprised by this development, after being in the industry so long she knew how vicious some actresses could be the worst of them all was Yu Minna.
Ever since they debuted Yu Minna had always had it out for her, for reasons best known to Minna because she had no idea what she could have possibly done to someone she had never met but only a few times and at events.
