The same day. One of the best units of Moonlight Luxury Apartments.
Zhang Youwei sat on the couch with a displeased expression. Cui Meng, her manager stood in front of her with her head lowered.
"How did she get it? I told you to not let that b*tch get a any projects!"
"Youwei, she got street casted. She shamelessly stood at the audition site and sang on the street when the judges were leaving.", said Cui Meng.
Admiring her newly manicured nails, Youwei revealed a sneaky smile.
"Hmph!! That b*tch really has guts. Tell the company to hand over that project to me. I also want to see how she escapes her fate."
Cui Meng hesitated. She heard from the Company higher-ups that, the Music Director, Guo Yusheng was adamant on having Zhang Yuqi for this project. No one else would be accepted.
She didn't know how to break this to Zhang Youwei.
"About that.....umm..."
"What? Is this the first time you are doing this? Go!"
"Director Guo only wants Zhang Yuqi for this project. He won't budge from his decision no matter what!"
"WHAT??.....what does that mean?", Youwei's face turned grave.
"It's exactly like that, Youwei. This project is only for Yuqi. Director Guo said that. Also, the company agreed to it, as Zhang Yuqi is after all one of our artists. You know how Ceo Qiao is...."
Cui Meng was the first to discover Zhang Yuqi's talent in singing. But then Zhang Youwei came out from nowhere and forced her to abandon Zhang Yuqi. After that, another manager of XingYe
found Zhang Yuqi and signed her into the company.
On one side was a very naturally talented artist and on the other side was the daughter of a rich family with the heir of Ouyang group as her backer. The choice was easy to make.
Although Cui Meng was slightly regretful at first for not being able to manage both Zhang Youwei and Zhang Yuqi, she was able to receive perks from Zhang Youwei now and then, so it didn't matter anymore. Now she just had to make sure that Zhang Yuqi never rose. Not only because of Youwei, but because she didn't want to regret her choice.
Then Youwei spoke up, "Find a way to drag her down!"
Cui Meng thought, since no one saw Zhang Yuqi auditioning, then....
"How about I ask the reporters to dig up why Zhang Yuqi got the role when her name wasn't on the audition list?"
"hmmm.....you are getting better at this Meng jie, then you also need to say who was supposed to get it right?"
"Youwei, are you saying.....you want to.....?"
"That's right! Since she has to give up her project, why not give it up to me?"
Cui Meng looked at Youwei with a flattering smile, "You are right. I'll go prepare it now. Once the Official Website Reveals the singers, I'll also release the news."
'You said I have improved? You are worse than me. She is your own cousin!', Cui Meng secretly sneered at Zhang Youwei as she left the apartment.

Lu Group. CEO's Office.
After Lu Jianyu left, Lu Zitian sat on his seat looking at Zhang Yuqi's pictures that Ye Chen brought. He felt an indescribable emotion looking at her. On, one hand he felt a little distressed as she had forgotten him after their intimate encounter. But on the other side, he didn't dislike her. He wanted to keep her closer to him. He wanted all of her to himself.
For that, there was only one way. He would definitely make her fall for him and then, never let her escape.
She had made his cold and icy heart yearn for her.
