"Hey, are you a star?"

Without answering the woman's question, Jiang Shuyan asked again.

"what?!"

Suddenly being asked a question in such a condescending tone by a drunk man, the woman named Zhou Xinyuan was really at a loss as to what to do.

"Answer me, you are a star, an actor!"

Jiang Shuyan burped, and his tone became even sharper, like a company boss with an annual income of tens of millions, giving instructions to his junior staff.

After getting drunk, Jiang Shuyan's aura like that of a young lady that she had cultivated at home couldn't help but emerge.

She didn't know how long it had been since she spoke to someone like this.

"Ah? Yes...yes."

Not sure if it was because of Miss Jiang Shuyan's aura, the person named Zhou Xinyuan answered subconsciously.

In all the years since she became famous, almost no one dared to ask her in such an aggressive tone, "Are you an actor?"

The drunkard in front of him, who looked much younger than himself, was the first person.

"Yes...acting, an actor!" Jiang Shuyan waved her hand in a daze, feeling quite heroic.

"Then you must have been taken advantage of, right?"

Jiang Shuyan, who was drunk, had no idea how shocking her words were.

No matter which celebrity you raise this question to, the only outcome is probably a fallout.

"ha?!!!!"

172 Standard Answer

If we have to talk about unspoken rules.

In fact, the relationship between Ye Xiao and Jiang Shuyan is also a kind of unspoken rule in a sense.

Once upon a time, what Jiang Shuyan hated the most were those female celebrities who were not enterprising, wanted to take shortcuts, and thus chose to be seduced.

What I hate the most are people like Bao Ye who take advantage of their fame in the entertainment industry to take advantage of female stars.

Before she knew it, Jiang Shuyan turned around and found that she had become the person she hated the most without knowing when.

But deep down in her heart, she had no regrets at this moment.

When she was drunk, she desperately needed someone to recognize her.

Zhou Xinyuan, who inexplicably appeared in front of him, naturally became the first choice.

As for the other party's identity and status in the entertainment industry, how could Jiang Shuyan, who was drunk, care so much?

At this moment, Zhou Xinyuan felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping through her heart.

What is the situation now? How is this unfolding?

Why would a drunk guy I picked up on the street ask me in such a condescending tone whether I had ever been sexually exploited?

Even TV dramas wouldn’t be so outrageous!

Was it the paparazzi? Or was it his super-enthusiastic fan? Or was it a trap set by a rival film and television company?!

No matter what, Zhou Xinyuan's eyes became colder as he stared at Jiang Shuyan. He snorted in dissatisfaction and stood up.

Forget it, ignore this drunkard and go home directly

After all, there is no need for me to answer the questions asked by a drunkard. No matter what I answer, it will be used by someone with ulterior motives.

However, just as Zhou Xinyuan turned around, Jiang Shuyan, who was sitting powerlessly on the ground, suddenly began to talk to herself.

"My agent and director once told me that actors cannot survive if they do not accept the unspoken rules. Especially for me at that time, an actor who had just debuted, if I did not sell my body, I would be eliminated and would not be able to obtain resources in the entertainment industry. So, is the entire entertainment industry like this?"

After hearing what Jiang Shuyan said, Zhou Xinyuan stopped walking.

Through the drunkard's unclear mumbling, Zhou Xinyuan, a first-line actor who has been in this circle for more than ten years, seemed to understand in an instant why this guy was so drunk, why he was lying here with no one to care about him, why he looked so self-destructive and abandoned by the whole society.

She also started out as a newcomer and worked her way up. How could she not know the problems and difficulties an actor nowadays faces when he wants to become famous, become popular and acquire resources?

Because she understood this, Zhou Xinyuan suddenly felt that she couldn't just leave Jiang Shuyan here and leave without caring about anything.

Zhou Xinyuan sighed in her heart, turned around, squatted down again facing Jiang Shuyan, straightened her hair, and finally saw her face clearly.

He seemed familiar, perhaps he was someone I had seen on the news many years ago.

Finally, Zhou Xinyuan said softly and gently to Jiang Shuyan: "Did you sell your body in the end? Were you taken advantage of? An unknown actress."

"Huh?! How is that possible?!" Hearing this, Jiang Shuyan didn't know where she got the energy from, and shouted out loudly. "This lady, this lady is so gentle, lovely, noble and elegant!!"

"Burp——" As he said this, another burst of wine came out, which once again made Zhou Xinyuan feel sick.

Subconsciously, Jiang Shuyan had thought about giving in, but she never regarded what happened between her and Ye Xiao as unspoken rules.

"For a person like me who is so gentle, lovely, noble and elegant to be taken advantage of by those ugly guys who are as ugly as pigs, it would be better for me to be killed directly!"

Maybe Jiang Shuyan was pretending to be stubborn in front of Zhou Xinyuan, or maybe she was drunk and spoke her true feelings. Jiang Shuyan said these words without any hesitation.

"It seems that this unknown actress is quite ambitious!"

Zhou Xinyuan couldn't help but laugh softly when she saw Jiang Shuyan like this.

Although what the guy in front of him said was a bit stupid, Zhou Xinyuan just couldn't feel the slightest bit of disgust.

Everyone has had such a youthful and frivolous time when they were young. At this moment, Zhou Xinyuan seemed to see herself when she was young.

"This is good. You don't need to accept unspoken rules or anything like that. Just stick to your own ideas and you will definitely be rewarded."

Zhou Xinyuan didn't know how to encourage the person in front of him, and subconsciously uttered some empty clichés.

"But I'm already 24 years old and have been banned by the entire circle. Even the public opinion has affected my family. If this continues, I might end up delivering food."

Jiang Shuyan shook her head, her tone sounding very low.

Because of the effect of alcohol, Jiang Shuyan spoke out everything that was in her mind without any hesitation without any consideration.

"Hey, Zhou Xinyuan, have you really never been sexually exploited? If you weren't sexually exploited, could you really survive in the entertainment industry?"

Although it was not very polite for Jiang Shuyan to directly call the woman in her thirties or forties by her full name, both in terms of seniority and courtesy. If those in the entertainment industry knew about it, he would probably be accused of being disrespectful to his seniors.

But Zhou Xinyuan was not angry at this moment. Maybe it was because she knew that the guy in front of her was already drunk to death, so she didn't want to care too much.

Zhou Xinyuan was silent for a few minutes. Before knowing the background of the guy in front of him, the safest answer was "No, everything I have now is the result of my own ability."

If the person in front of him was really a paparazzi or someone from a rival film and television company, or a fanatical fan in disguise, and even if he just let slip a little bit, tomorrow's news headlines would definitely be something like "Shocking revelation of Zhou Xinyuan's unknown past", and he would be ruined from then on.

But at this moment, Zhou Xinyuan looked at the girl in front of him whose moist eyes were full of expectation even though she was drunk, and he found it difficult to say the word "no", or empty words like "My success comes from my hard work, as long as you work hard you will also succeed".

In this case, it is really easy to say it out.

No matter how you look at it, preaching to the younger generation on the moral level from the perspective of a successful person is the most standard answer.

But as for the person in front of him, he will definitely be thrown into a deeper hell.

Because it was obvious that she had tried hard enough, but she still became notorious for not accepting such a frowned-upon thing as the unspoken rules.

Do we really need to respond with such a formulaic standard answer?

173 The Hidden Rule That Only Happens Once in a Lifetime

Jiang Shuyan's eyes still show expectations for the future, but now she may not even know how to succeed.

Zhou Xinyuan looked at the girl in front of her with a complicated expression for a long time without saying anything.

What is the reason for my current success? Can I really say that it is all my own efforts that have brought me to where I am now?

Zhou Xinyuan thought about it for a while, and was silent for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind and said softly, "I did it. I accepted the unspoken rules."

"Really?... Hey - wait... wait a minute? Have you done it? Really?! Zhou Xinyuan, have you done it too?! Sleeping with that fat, smelly, disgusting guy?!"

What on earth have you been through? Even if it is an unspoken rule, there is no need to find such a person! Zhou Xinyuan was in awe of the experience of this unknown actress in front of her.

But thinking about the current environment in the entertainment industry, after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xinyuan seemed to understand what the other party was saying.

"Of course I won't do this." Zhou Xinyuan smiled unhappily. Then she said softly, touching Jiang Shuyan's hair.

In terms of qualifications and age, Zhou Xinyuan can indeed touch Jiang Shuyan's hair like a junior.

“In my life, I have only accepted unspoken rules once, and that was with my current husband.

"I went through the most difficult time in my life. Maybe I was better than you are now, but not much better. All I did was keep auditioning for small supporting roles and little extras. I never got a leading role. I almost gave up on my acting career." Zhou Xinyuan showed a nostalgic expression.

"So after an audition for the female lead, that night, I approached my current man with a bad attitude. I took the initiative to get him drunk and brought him to my home.

"He didn't reject me that night, and later offered me the opportunity to play the leading role, but he told me not to do such things again in the future, and if I had to do it, I should only do it with him."

Zhou Xinyuan had a warm look on her face and chuckled as she told this story, a story she had never mentioned to anyone before.

“If there must be a turning point in my transformation from an unknown actor to a popular actor, then that incident must have been my turning point.

"Mr. Wojia was indeed the most famous director at the time. Playing the leading role in that film, I went from being a supporting role that no one else liked to a popular actor.

"So, I won't say categorically that I didn't use hidden rules. I did use my body to buy that opportunity." Zhou Xinyuan shook her head and paused. "But this unknown actress, if you really can't stay in this circle anymore, if you really have to use hidden rules to survive.

"Then please choose your partner carefully and treat that person as your life partner. This is a once-in-a-lifetime rule—"

"That's enough!"

Zhou Xinyuan pursed her lips and said these words with some reminiscence.

Jiang Shuyan's mind was still in a mess, and she looked at Zhou Xinyuan dimly.

I always feel that the unspoken rules that this guy in front of me is talking about are not quite the same as what I think. They seem to be somewhat similar, but the actual difference is too big! !

The unspoken rule that only happens once in a lifetime - what kind of unspoken rule is that? Isn't this just showing off your affection?

Looking at Jiang Shuyan's confused expression, Zhou Xinyuan shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"I am as big an idiot as you are. Why am I talking to a drunkard about so much? I don't know how much of what I am saying has been heard by you."

"belch--"

Jiang Shuyan didn't say anything, and burped again with drunken eyes.

Seeing Jiang Shuyan's performance, Zhou Xinyuan scolded with a smile.

"What an idiot. If you don't have anyone to pick you up, just come to my house. He's not at home today. Although his daughter is there, it shouldn't matter."

Before Zhou Xinyuan could finish her words, a hurried and cute voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Oh, sorry!"

The female voice was panting, as if she had run all the way here.

"Excuse me, have you seen this girl?"

Zhou Xinyuan turned around in surprise and looked at the short kid behind her who looked like someone unknown.

Ye Xiao's clothes looked a little messy at the moment. She was holding a mobile phone in her hand, which was showing a photo of Ye Xiao and Jiang Shuyan.

The two people standing together look like a pair of sisters with a very good relationship.

"Ah, idiot."

At this moment, Jiang Shuyan, who had been sitting on the ground, showed a silly smile, his eyes passed through Zhou Xinyuan's back, and met Ye Xiao's somewhat anxious eyes.

"It's finally here, but I've been waiting for a long time!"

Zhou Xinyuan also looked at Ye Xiao who suddenly appeared with some curiosity.

"You two are sisters, you are both very beautiful!"

Ye Xiao's height seems to be about the same as Zhou Xinyuan's daughter who has just entered junior high school.

Zhou Xinyuan subconsciously thought of Ye Xiao as someone of the same age as her daughter.

"It's really hard to have such a sister, but as a younger sister, I have tried my best. Just now I said I would bring your sister to my house, but now it seems that it is not necessary. Are your family members coming together?"

As Zhou Xinyuan spoke, she reached out her hand towards Ye Xiao, wanting to ruffle her beautiful hair.

Ye Xiao's hair looks great. You can tell at a glance that this blonde hair is not achieved through perming or dyeing, but is just this color.

"Big sister, don't touch my head! I'm not a child. Big sister who treats others as children is really a big sister!"

Ye Xiao frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly and dodged Zhou Xinyuan's hand.
