Chapter 378
“I’m glad you didn’t say anything, please make sure you keep this a secret for me, I don’t want too many people to know.”
“Okay, I understand, don’t worry!I’ll tell you when I get another good job.”
“Well, thanks a lot.”
Evelin hung up the phone and sat there for a while, then took her phone and tapped her account balance to look at it.
She smiled at the fact that there were only four digits on it.
In this world, probably no one would have thought that she, a hallowed actress, who has won awards at any rate, and is now quite famous, or a new talent that the company is promoting, and her only assets are only three thousand dollars.
She’s a big star in the eyes of outsiders, but why is she in such a mess?
Evelin sighed, and just then, her phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the caller ID and her face changed dramatically.
Fingers rested on the hang-up button, hesitating for a long time, but finally pressing answer.
From across the room came a slightly hoarse male voice.
“I thought you weren’t going to answer my calls, but I guess you’re not that cold-hearted.”
Evelin walked to a secluded corner and whispered, “What are you calling here for?”
“Me?Of course, I’m thinking of my good girl, so I’m calling to ask!”
Evelin raged, “I told you a long time ago, I have nothing to do with you!Don’t talk about your daughter your daughter, my surname is Kang and yours is Cai, we are not related by blood!”
The other smiled grudgingly.
“Is it?Then at any rate I’ve raised you for ten years, but back then there were many people who could prove that you were my daughter, and now that she’s rich, how should I relieve my old father, right?”
Evelin was so angry that her eyes were red.
“Didn’t I call you three months ago?Did you go gambling again?”
The other side sounded distinctly guilty.
“And no, just…a little taste of hand gas, who would have thought it would be so bad?”
“I don’t have any money!”
Evelin didn’t even want to think about it, directly roared: “I told you to stop gambling, you yourself do not listen, every time you lose everything come to me, really think I am a bottomless pit is not it?I don’t have a penny right now, and even if I did, I wouldn’t give it to you, so that’s it, hang on!”
Afterwards, he just cut the phone off.
Later, the other party made a few more phone calls, but Evelin didn’t answer.
It was so angry that they just pulled the other number into the blacklist.
Next to him, the assistant, Chen, came over.
“Sister Evelin, what’s wrong?You look so ugly?”
Evelin even slowed down her face and barely smiled, “Nothing.”
“Oh, it’s fine, by the way, I’d like to take a day off from you, my mum’s birthday is tomorrow and I’d like to go back and spend the day with her, is that okay?”
Evelin was stunned and nodded, “Yes, it’s not a big deal, you can just go back tomorrow.”
Only then did Xiao Chen smile gratefully and nod, “Thank you, Sister Evelin.”
After closing for the evening, Evelin dragged her tired body back to the hotel by herself.
As soon as I got out of the car, I was dragged into a corner with a hand over my mouth.
She struggled as hard as she could, but was no match for the other man’s strength, so she let him drag her into the corner.
As soon as my hand loosened, I wanted to scream, but suddenly I heard a familiar voice, “It’s me.”
Evelin was startled.
The car park wasn’t too brightly lit, let alone in the corner, yet nonetheless, when she turned her head, the
Still, I could see what the man in front of me looked like.
“Dad!Why are you here?”
She cried out in surprise, then suddenly thought of something and her face changed.
“I told you we’re done with each other, don’t you come after me!”
She said and tried to leave, but the man held her back.
The man sneered, “Just now you were calling me Dad, and now you’re turning your back on me?Turning the pages doesn’t even take you that fast.”
He said, looking around and whispering, “It’s not convenient here, let’s go up.”
After saying that, he pulled her into a quick flash into the lift.
All the way back to the room, Evelin closed all the curtains in the room, making sure that no paparazzi would take pictures before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Turning and looking coldly at the scruffy middle-aged man in front of him, he said, “What are you doing here looking for me?”
The middle-aged man’s surname was Cai, and because he was the fourth oldest in the family, he was known outside as Cai Laoshi.
He is Kang Loyao’s stepfather plus adoptive father.
Cai Lama sat down on the sofa and said, “What else can we do?It’s been pushing the debt outside lately, so I’ve come to get your money.”
“I don’t have any money!”
At the mention of this, Evelin turned pale and said sternly, “You leave immediately, I don’t want to see you again!”
Cai Lao Si is a scoundrel, these years as a hooligan used to be scolded by people, also do not care, evil hooked the corner of the mouth smiled: “can ah, I can go, just afraid that after I walk out of here today, tomorrow you Evelin Kang’s black material will be able to ascend the hot search, do not believe that we make a bet to try!”
“You!”
Evelin was extremely angry, and her face was bruised and white, unable to speak.
Cai Laoshi smiled even more proudly at the situation, “By the way, if it wasn’t for me taking pity on you mothers and daughters and taking you in, would you be in the position you are today?What?Now that you’re famous and hardened, you want to enjoy yourself without me?Isn’t that a little too heartless!”
“I have no conscience?”
Evelin was so angry that her fingertips were trembling, “Who helped you pay off your gambling debts all these years?You were drugged, beaten, and in the police station, who took you out?If it weren’t for me, you’d have been shredded by those haters by now!”
“Yes yes yes!It’s all your doing.”
Cai Laoshi broke down and nodded, “So I can only come to you now ah.They had guns, you know?It’s a gun and says if I don’t pay it back I’ll shoot my head off, what can I do?”
Evelin couldn’t do anything with him and sat down on the sofa with her butt on the sofa and said angrily, “How much do you owe again?”
“Not much, three million.”
“What?”
She screamed all at once, “Three million?You think I run a bank?”
Cai laoshi lifted his eyelids and slanted a glance at her, sneering, “You keep pretending.Who doesn’t know that you’re a popular star in the entertainment industry now, and any movie you make is worth millions, so what’s wrong with taking a few million to spend on me?”
“I’m not the only one with that money!”
Evelin was so angry that her face turned pale, and sternly said, “After the film fee is taken to the company, the company divides it, and the agent divides it, how much is left in my hands?How much money do you think I’m going to make from my hard work on the movie to fill your bottomless pit.”
Cai Laoshi grew impatient at the news and his gaze grew cold.
“Really?”
Evelin resolutely bit out, “No!”
“Yes!”
Cai Lao Si suddenly stood up and said roguishly, “In that case, I’ll have to find someone else, I heard that you’ve recently been in close contact with a rich young man named Yi, right?Is he chasing you?Since my daughter can’t count on it, I’ll have to count on my son-in-law.”
Chapter 379
He said, getting up to walk out.
Evelin was startled and reacted to the face immediately turning ugly, stopping him, “What do you want?”
Cai Laoshi looked at her with a sneer, “I told you, it’s not too much to ask for my son-in-law to ask for some bride price flowers, isn’t it!”
Evelin was so angry that her chest almost exploded.
“Do you want some shame?I have nothing to do with him!But as an investor and the lead actor had a few dinners together, even if for 10,000 steps he really had some interest in me, but we’re not together, so who are you to ask someone for money?”
Cai Laoshi sneered, “That’s none of my business, that’s your business.”
“You!”
Evelin was so angry that she had a headache, she knew she was a scoundrel as an adoptive father, but she never thought she would be so scoundrel.
All these years, she looks easy and comfortable, but in fact, only she knows the pain.
Ever since her dad passed away ten years ago, her life seemed to have gone to hell overnight and never got better.
After half a while, she red-eyed, took a deep breath, and said: “I really don’t have any money on hand, if you want, wait until I finish the film, this is the only way, or else we will all die.”
Cai Laoshi saw the situation, and although he was still a little dissatisfied, he also knew that there was no other better way.
That’s when he reluctantly said, “Okay then, when are you done with this play?”
“At the end of the month!”
“Well, I’ll wait until the end of the month, and then you don’t want to go back on your word, or…well, you know.”
Evelin choked, not really knowing what to say for a moment.
She rubbed her brow tiredly and said, “Go away, I’ll let you know when the money arrives.”
Only then did Cai Laoshi leave with a satisfied heart.
……..
After Cai Laoshi left, Evelin sat in the room, alone and quiet for a long time.
About ten minutes later, she squared off with a sigh, picked up her phone, and made a call.
The phone didn’t ring many times before it was answered.
Evelin asked carefully, “Sister Su Hong, that… is it okay if I ask you for a favor?”
On the other side, Su Hong’s voice was as cold as ever, “What is it?”
“I…I’d like to get an advance on my pay for the film, is that okay with you?”
Su Hong frowned.
She paused and replied, “I have no say in this matter, are you in a hurry?”
Evelin bit her lip and gave a “hmm”.
“How about this!I’ll ask for you, after all, the credits are paid after the film is killed, so I’ll have them advance you the money if they can be paid in advance.”
Su Hong was completely business-like, not spared, and Evelin was already grateful.
She said evenly, “Okay, thank you, Sister Suhong.”
“Well.”
When the phone hung up, Evelin covered her nervous heart, which was why she felt slightly relieved and headed to the dormitory.
And now, the other side.
After Su Hong hung up the phone, he told Xiao He about it.
Xiao He listened and felt a little surprised.
But thinking that Evelin might have some urgent need, he didn’t think much of it.
However, the main investor of this drama is from the side of Anning International, and Starflight is just hanging on, she can’t make the decision on this.
Jenny didn’t care what happened over at Serenity International now, this was a business matter, so she didn’t ask Jenny and submitted the application there directly.
The next day, the results of the application came in.
The answer she was given there was that she couldn’t get an advance, and there was no such rule in the company.
Evelin was disappointed.
But she also knows that Su Hong Ken
Asking for her help was enough to give her face, so although disappointed, I thanked her.
Back on the set, the whole morning was preoccupied.
The result was that the director, who had rarely been carded before, was frequently called out for being out of place today.
More times than not, the person next to you can’t stop talking about it.
The director was a bit frustrated by it.
He came out from behind the monitor and said, “What’s going on with you today?Is something on your mind?Why do you keep finding no state?”
Evelin lowered her head slightly and bit her lip.
For a moment, she bit down hard and said, “Director, let’s try another one, I’ll try again.”
The director frowned at her.
Even if he was slow, he could see at this point that Evelin indeed had something on his mind, and in this state, even if he tried his best, the result of the shot wouldn’t be too good.
Eventually, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I see you’re tired, go down and rest first, take care of anything beforehand, and put your part today to shoot tomorrow.”
Then he instructed the next field manager, “Call Su Celery over, and shoot her first today.”
“Okay, I’ll go call right away.”
The director returned to sit behind the monitor, the scene recorder went to call for the sultry craftsman, and soon the scene was withdrawn and replaced with the scene that Sultry needed to shoot.
Evelin stood there, biting her lower lip, only to feel a pang of guilt.
She also knew that she was in a really bad state today, and although she had tried her best to get herself to commit, she couldn’t do it.
Seeing Su Qian proudly walking over in her costume, she could only helplessly retreat to the side.
The director saw her look like she was distracted and frowned, advising, “One mind can’t be used for two purposes, if something is really wrong, take care of the other things first, there’s no hurry to make a movie in a day and a half, and it’s the same when you’re done with it and then continue with this movie.”
Evelin nodded, “I got it, thank you director.”
After leaving the set, she went back to the hotel where the crew had booked her, took a shower, and then lay on her bed, staring at her phone.
Her mind was a little confused, and at this point, she really didn’t know who to call.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of asking Jenny for help, and she knew that this amount of money was nothing to her nowadays.
But she also had her pride and knew her own situation, that person Cai Laoshi was a bottomless pit, she could be unlucky on her own, so why drag her friends down with her.
She would never open up to a friend unless she had to.
While contemplating this, the phone suddenly rang.
She was slightly stunned and picked up the phone, only to see that it was Tailor Feng calling.
Slightly surprised.
This guy, who hasn’t been in touch for 800 years, what’s he doing calling her at this point?
She didn’t want to answer, so she simply hung up, and it must not have been anything serious for him to find her anyway.
On the other hand, Tailor Feng sat on the big chair, with his legs crossed, waiting for a woman to answer the phone, but unexpectedly found that the phone was hung up!
Hang up!
Tailor Feng stared at the blackened phone screen, a burst of anger!
That fu*king woman!How dare you hang up on him?
Everywhere he goes, Tailor Feng is not the object of everyone’s affection, and she is the only one who shakes his face at him time and again.
What a temper!It’s stinky and hard!
He grinded his teeth hard, half-heartedly, and sent her a text message.
“How dare you hang up on me?Looking for death?”
Evelin looked at the message and smiled coldly.
Returned the word, “Heh!”
Tailor Feng could almost imagine the woman’s difficult and disdainful appearance on the other end of the phone.
Anger gnawed at me.
He looked at the phone and smirked.
Yeah, right!You’re going to end up in my hands sooner or later!
Chapter 380
After a few more days, Cai Laoshi called her several times in a row, getting more and more urgent about the money.
Evelin only felt that she was about to be driven crazy, sometimes she really wanted to just let him expose it regardless!
Even if she loved acting and wanted to be an actress, she wouldn’t be one anymore, what she has now, she doesn’t care if she doesn’t have it!
But her heart ached at the thought of her mother, who was still in the hospital, and everything she wanted to fish out was crushed in that moment.
Nothing can happen to her!
If even she falls, what about Mom?
It was then that she received a call from Su Hong.
Su Hong, a very direct person, never engaged in the roundabout way of speaking and doing things.
As soon as the call came through, the door was opened and the question was asked, “Do you really need the money?”
Evelin stalled and nodded, “Yes.”
“That’s fine, there’s a stand-up event tomorrow night over at Century City, a few artists under my friend’s hand will be there, not from Starlight but from another company.
I said hello to them, and I’ll bring you with me then, the money’s not much, but there’s still a hundred thousand to share, but I need to go to dinner with them after the event, is that okay?”
Evelin said evenly, “No problem.”
“Well, I’ll let you know tomorrow.”
“Well, thank you, Sister Suhong.”
After hanging up the phone, Evelin was finally relieved.
The thought that after tomorrow, you’ll make a fortune is a little more comforting.
The next day, Evelin took a day off from the crew and went to the scene.
It was only when I got there that I realized it was a car show event, and all the models in attendance were peripheral wild models or some seven or eight line actresses.
These people are entertainers, to put it nicely.It’s just some peripheral girl who travels the fringes of the entertainment industry.
Most of these models were pretty, hot, and just lacked an opportunity, so even though they knew that most car shows like this one were not innocent, they still flocked to them in droves, wanting to come.
Su Hong used to be not a very famous agent, and then she brought out a few slightly successful ones, which is why she applied to Starlite.
Nowadays, the few artists under her hands were all newcomers, except for Evelin, a second-tier actress who could get the job done.
These models, Evelin didn’t know what relationship they had with Su Hong, but figured they should have known each other.
Su Hong herself said that it was her friend who took over the event, and although these models were not famous, it was a good opportunity to participate in the car show.
After all, there are countless beautiful girls trying to squeeze into the entertainment industry these days, and with so many monks, it’s nice to have a chance.
Evelin’s heart was not really willing to participate in such an event, but now, in order to solve the immediate problem, she couldn’t care less.
After changing backstage, she went out with everyone else.
The job was simple, but because Evelin was short, only 1.63 meters tall, which wasn’t too short among ordinary girls, but it wasn’t good enough among models.
So after putting on her makeup, the dressmaker gave her a pair of shoes that were a full 12 centimeters high with a pointy, thin heel.
After wearing it all afternoon, both feet hurt like they weren’t their own.
But when she thought of the hundred thousand dollars, she thought it was worth the hard work, and gritted her teeth to get through it.
What I didn’t expect, however, was that it would be easy.
The afternoon station work was over, but the staff came in from the outside, clapped their hands and said, “Don’t leave, everyone, wait for Chen and Huang to set up a dinner party, go eat together.”
Evelin was slightly stunned.
Su Hong did mention to her before that we might have dinner together after work.
But there were so many models, a dozen or so, that she had just looked over at the stand-up, that she shouldn’t have to go to every one of them, so she was making plans in her mind to refuse.
Unexpectedly at that moment, a girl next to her had spoken before her.
“Brother Wang my stomach isn’t feeling too well today, can I not go?”
The manager known as Wang sneered, “Then can you not receive your appearance fee today?”
The girl who asked the question had a small face that reddened and bit her lip, not daring to speak.
Evelin stood beside her, seeing the situation even more afraid to offer to go first.
It wasn’t until the man known as Wang went out that the crowd relaxed.
There was a small complaint or two, but no one said anything more.
Evelin took a look around and carefully asked the people around her, “Why do they want us all to go over for dinner?Where to eat?”
The girl she asked had been to an event like this before, so it was kind of a breeze.
She sniffed and looked at her, “Your first time.”
Evelin nodded.
“That you can put smart at night, in fact, do our line of work, sometimes it’s just to put your own eyes out, the brain turns faster, there will be nothing, everyone is out looking for fun, and will not intentionally embarrass anyone.”
Evelin was slightly stunned and frowned at her words.
The girl laughed again: “It’s quite strange, we participate in this kind of activities for a living, it’s not strange, why do you think you’re an actress who has become such a big star?You wouldn’t be short of the $100,000, either.”
Evelin stalled, barely smiling.
“I just came over to see, I’ve never done it before, so I’m just experiencing life.”
The girl snickered after hearing that.
“Fine, then you experience it!”
Afterwards, he changed and headed to the bathroom.
Evelin stood there, a little embarrassed, but there were reasons that could only be known about herself and not for the outside world, so she had no choice but to follow along.
The meal was in the city, in a very upscale luxury hotel.
Evelin followed everyone out of the car and headed inside.
She had changed back into her own clothes, a white casual suit that looked clean and smart but also slightly rustic.
She actually dressed that way on purpose.
After all, it would be dangerous to not dress down in this environment.
The man called Wang who led them over looked at her and frowned with some disgust.
But nothing was said, and the group was led to the eighth floor of the topmost floor.
All the way up the lift to the eighth floor, through the lavish lobby, and finally everyone stopped at the door of a VIP box.
Even through the door, you could hear the lively music and noise inside.
Naturally an attendant opened the door for them, and an air of extravagance came over them.
Evelin couldn’t help but cover her nose, and Wang was the first to walk in, smiling, “Sorry, I got stuck in traffic on the way, I’m late.”
