Miss Nobody Is Taking A Backfire
Chapter 15 The Investor Insists On His Own Will

There was really no perfect way for Shirley, so she had to sign the actress first. Then she took the contract to the investor again.

In the cafe, Shirley ordered two cups of cappuccino and waited anxiously for someone.

A man dressed in suits and ties came in and hurriedly sat opposite Shirley.

"Make short of long. I'm very busy." The man didn't want to hear Shirley's long speech.

"Sir, why don't you accept my opinion?" Shirley really didn't understand him.

"Your opinion is too risky. I still want to choose a safe way."

Shirley really tried her best to persuade him, "but you think about it, now the entertainment circle is changing so fast. It's too stubborn for you to only focus on Karla. Nowadays, the entertainment circle needed some fresh blood, and Karla had been active in the public for so long, which inevitably caused aesthetic fatigue for the public. We have taken this question into account when choosing the new actress this time I promise that this new actress has strong potential and will definitely meet your requirements." In order to persuade the investor, Shirley said many words. It was not easy for him to agree to see her, so she had to persuade him to be willing to invest.

"What's the use of potential? Can it be of real significance?" The investor asked Shirley in reply.

"Let me tell you, the only thing of great importance now is audience rating! You always talk to me in this way. I know you want to replace a new way and play a new trick. But my money is not from nowhere. I can't afford it. Again, what is the most important thing in TV series? It is the audience rating! As a new actress, although she had potential, she doesn't have a strong audience base. Even if you said that Karla had been famous for a long time and the audience had aesthetic fatigue, her fans were strong so that the audience rating was guaranteed. Besides, I know what happened between you and Karla recently. It's unlikely that you will invite Karla back. I think you'd better give up." The investor didn't show any mercy to Shirley. She could understand it. After all, they were only connected by money, and there had never been a favor in this circle.

"I've signed a contract with the new actress. As long as the fund is in place, I can start the drama immediately. And I promise you that I won't let you down." Shirley really had no choice and she almost knelt down and beg him. But the investor was still not convinced and rejected Shirley.

What's worse, Karla knew about it. She heard that the investor that Shirley was contacting insisted on her. Thinking of this, she felt that God was really good to her. Karla get another chance to suppress Shirley. She swore to herself, 'Shirley, I won't let you solve it easily this time, no matter what the reason is.'

Karla contacted the director of a new play on her own initiative. The director of this play had been unable to invite a famous star like Karla, so when she took the initiative to contact him, he was shocked. Karla invited the director to a tea shop near her home in order to avoid the agent's awareness. Because of the incident last time, Karla didn't trust her agent very much, so she decided to take action in person. "Hello, Miss Karla. I didn't expect you to call me. Thank you so much." The director was very excited. He had never thought that he could invite Karla to act in his TV series. He believed that he would be famous in the future with this play.

"You don't have to thank me. You have to thank yourself. I've watched a few of your works before. I think you are very talented and very good at being a director. I think you will be a rising star in the director circle. I believe that as long as we can cooperate, we will definitely create a miracle of audience rating. Besides, I value talent very much. For me, the payment is not important. If the audience can see more good works, it will be our honor, won't it?" Karla said to this director elegantly, but she didn't believe what she had said. In fact, she didn't know the director before, nor did she watch his play. She just made a few conventional remarks.

"That's right. Miss Karla is really a good luck for the entertainment circle. I won't let you down. Wish us a pleasant cooperation!" The director raised a cup of tea.

"Wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Karla also raised the tea in her hand and smiled politely.

The two drank at the same time.

While drinking tea, the smile at the corners of Karla's mouth disappeared. She complained in her heart, 'I am not willing to act your drama, okay? I don't even remember your name. If it weren't for the fact that your filming time is the same as Shirley's new drama's startup, I wouldn't have taken such a job of few salary but much work. But it's also your honor to help me defeat Shirley.' Of course, Karla just thought about it. She raised her head with a fake smile on her face.

Of course, as a popular star, many people would pay attention to Karla's every move. For example, as soon as Karla agreed to take part in the new drama, there was news on the Internet later. Of course, Shirley also saw it. She had been wondering why Karla would agree to such a low-quality drama with her fame and status, but when she saw the filming date, she realized that she was playing tricks here. Shirley felt that Karla had gone crazy in order to deal with her, regardless of her own reputation. At the same time, she felt that Karla was very pathetic.

Karla planned to humiliate Shirley. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the Xia Group, she met Shirley who was about to go home from work. Seeing her, Shirley felt bad luck. Why did he pester her all day long? She ignored her and went straight out, but Karla didn't give up and reached out to stop her.

"Shirley, how are you doing recently? Are you relaxed after clarifying the matter on the Internet?" Karla satirized her deliberately.

"Yes, I'm so happy. Especially when I saw the comments online that scolded you, I really wanted to applaud and praised them. You played tricks on me and made me a sinner on the Internet. Now I'll let you know how it feels." Shirley could always accurately know how to make Karla angry, and could always poke Karla's sore spot.

Sure enough, Karla was so angry that she clenched her fists and trembled. Indeed, the comments on the Internet had a great impact on her. But she couldn't lose her temper. After all, she was in public and there were many people staring at her. Maybe there were paparazzi taking pictures of her at the moment. She couldn't damage her image any more.

"How dare you talk to me like that? The drama you are going to shoot is about to start. The fund is not ready yet. What should you do? If you beg me, I might change my mind." Karla asked, pretending to be kind.

"Beg you? No way. I've been talking with the investor. The money will be ready soon."

"Really? Are you dreaming? How come it's different from what I heard. I've just taken on a new drama and I'm short of money. How about I call your sponsor and ask which drama he wants to invest? I heard that your investor said that he just wanted me to act in the drama. I believe that as long as I ask him, he will definitely agree to my request. What a pity that having worked so hard for so many days, all your efforts are in vain." With a hypocritical smile on her face, Karla pretended to take out her phone.

Shirley caught her hand and accidentally dropped her phone on the ground. She slowly approached her face until it was very close to her. With a voice that only two people could hear, she stared at her eyes and said sharply, "why should you be complacent after picking up a bad play?? But it's also a good chance for the audience to see what your real level is, and it can also set off my new drama. Good, kill two birds with one stone."

Karla shook off her hand and said, "But you have to remember that no matter how good your drama is, how can you start it without money? It's useless. So, you'd better give up struggling. Your Xia Group is like a grasshopper at the end of autumn -- nearing its end. Just wait and see how I start my drama that day." After saying that, Karla picked up her phone and left in her high heels.

Shirley didn't look as imposing as she had been just now. She relaxed her tense body. As long as she faced Karla, her body would unconsciously enter a state of tension and ready for battle. Perhaps her body could automatically sense the breath of the enemy. After what happened just now, although she hated Karla very much, what she said just now was really right. Without money, it was useless to sign a new actresses. No matter how good the play was, it was useless not to be seen by the audience. How could they talk about audience rating? Everything was empty words!

However, things were not that simple. After the investor saw the news on the Internet, for the first time in the past few days, he took the initiative to contact Shirley, but scolded her.

"What's wrong with your company? You haven't reached an agreement with Karla yet. She has already taken part in another drama. It's too late now. I don't believe your company anymore! Don't contact me anymore!" The investor shouted at Shirley angrily on the phone.

"Please don't be angry. It's Miss Karla's freedom to choose which drama she likes. Since she has her own choice and it's irreversible, why don't you accept my suggestion? This is our best choice at present." Shirley patiently reasoned with the investors. She had never seen such a situation since she was a child.

"How can I not be angry? It's really a waste of time to wait for you for so long. Well, if she has her own choice, then it's also my choice to whom I will invest my money! I won't trust you anymore. I won't invest in you. Just give up."

"Don't worry..."

"Dududu..."

"

The investor hung up the phone angrily before Shirley finished her words. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
