Words : 1111 Updated : Sep 28th, 2025

Whether it’s the heroes behind the scenes or the actors under the spotlight, without exception, everyone is carefully selected. In such occasions, even a slight gesture or an apparently casual remark can become the basis for others’ judgments. In just a few minutes, everyone quickly reached a certain tacit understanding and made initial evaluations in their hearts. Who is Nell Sue? The answer is obvious. Just a leading actress. But what about the female lead in front of us? Her performance not only suggests she is exceptionally beautiful, but what is even more impressive is her emotional intelligence and her ability to control the situation. It can be foreseen that if one day she truly becomes famous, this circle belongs to her, not any other competitor. Thinking of this, Lena hurriedly approached Clara Bennett, urging, "Hurry and change your clothes! Don’t worry, today I’ll definitely dress you up beautifully, making you look like a fairy in front of the camera." Her tone was serious yet full of anticipation, clearly confident in her skills. As soon as she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, signaling the assistant to quickly take Clara Bennett in to try on the qipao. And so, in a pleasant atmosphere, everyone watched as Clara Bennett was led into another lounge. Meanwhile, in another corner, Nell Sue was already seething with anger inside. She had been patiently waiting for the other party to come over and greet her, but to her surprise, in the end, that person completely ignored her, disregarding her existence. A newcomer! A fresh face still wet behind the ears! And how dare she act so arrogantly towards her! Nell Sue clenched her teeth, her smile gradually fading, replaced by a hint of coldness and disdain. At this moment, her assistant couldn’t hold back any longer, frowning and whispering, "Miss Sue, she’s obviously a newcomer. According to the industry rules, she should have initiated a greeting with you. Why hasn’t she by now? Did she forget her manners or is it intentional offense?" The assistant tried to remain calm, but couldn’t hide the confusion and sense of injustice for their boss. Nell Sue deliberately lowered her voice in response, "Don’t say that. She surely didn’t mean it. We got along well during the audition before; she wouldn’t have forgotten me immediately. She’s just busy cozying up to Lena." Nell Sue slightly tilted her head, lowering her voice as if afraid of being overheard, yet there was an unmistakable hint of pride in her tone. She slightly lifted the corners of her mouth, her gaze seeming slightly introspective, as if choosing her words carefully, or trying to appear more sincere. "Don’t judge others like that." She said slowly, with a tone that carried a subtle meaning, "I think she’s definitely not the kind of person who would easily forget others." Pausing for a moment, she continued, "After all, during the audition before, we exchanged quite a few topics and got along well, the atmosphere was very pleasant." At this point, she shrugged gently and gave a casual smile, "As for what just happened, maybe she was just too focused on chatting with Lena. After all, who doesn’t want to curry favor with a senior in the circle?" However, in a room full of people coming and going, her "lowered" voice wasn’t concealed at all, obviously meant to create an impression for others: Look, this is just the kind of newcomer who excels at currying favor. Yet, the room wasn’t quiet at all, filled with loud conversations and faint laughter, and people constantly coming and going. Even so, Nell Sue’s so-called "lowered" voice was not drowned out, but rather seemed like a deliberate performance. Almost all the agents, assistants, and newly acquainted staff around clearly heard her every word, and she seemed not to mind it at all. In fact, such actions appeared more like a calculated show. She just wanted everyone to hear, for them to reach a conclusion. See, this newcomer is indeed the type who excels at pleasing others. This subtle attitude aptly conveyed her intentions, capable of arousing associations without needing to say more. She certainly didn’t expect everyone to immediately follow her lead. But she was willing to accumulate little by little. Nell Sue is not an innocent little bunny; she is very familiar with the complex rules of the entertainment industry. She knows well that in such a place filled with open and hidden battles, just a seemingly clever wording is impossible to quickly win everyone’s recognition or support. Precisely because of this, she better understands how to use every opportunity to build the image she needs. Although she can’t expect others to immediately view her differently, or even take the initiative to stand on her side, she believes, as long as she consistently showcases her uniqueness and gradually builds her presence, she will eventually achieve her goals. Even if the current effort is just a small part, it is worth trying. Accumulating networks and impression points bit by bit, there will come a day of explosion. She is all too familiar with the power of rumors and words, knowing full well how swiftly they can destroy a career. For example, if the first careless chatter about someone murdering was just for amusement, by the time this rumor is passed through a hundred mouths, it might turn into an unshakable "fact," even the accused could no longer clear their name! Having witnessed many such tragic cases, Nell Sue is highly vigilant of the public opinion environment. Even in her daily speech and actions, she is careful with her words, trying to avoid giving anyone ammunition, because once negative news spreads, no matter how innocent she is, she would find herself in a passive position. Therefore, her behavior at this moment is not only to save face but also to prevent any potential pitfalls. When Clara Bennett reappeared wearing the qipao, even without makeup, she still shone brightly. Just as everyone’s attention was still on Nell Sue, Clara Bennett had quietly changed into another outfit and made her return. This time, she chose an elegant and graceful qipao, with a simple design highlighting her natural good figure, while giving her a classic charm. Though she wasn’t wearing heavy makeup and didn’t use any striking accessories or decorations to adorn herself, her pure natural face alone was enough to captivate all eyes. The light fell on her, seemingly casting a faint glow over her, making her appear dazzling and eye-catching. Everyone gasped in admiration, unable to help but exclaim, "Truly beautiful!" Seeing Clara Bennett at that moment, almost everyone had the same reaction.
