Yang Mi. Half of the rookies in the entertainment industry had to call her their senior. Even those from the same batch feared and had to show her deference.

This was not just because of her popularity with the masses; she had an influential backer, so people were wary of her.

Yun Shishi was slightly perplexed. Why did the woman call out to her when she did not know her personally?

As she was wondering about this, Yang Mi and Tang Yu walked up to her. The former snorted audibly while the latter, who standing next to her, commented in half-jest, “Why? Is this your first time attending a grand event that you’ve become tongue-tied in front of a superstar?”

“No,” she replied sweetly.

“Why aren’t you addressing ‘Sister Yang Mi’, then?” Tang Yu rolled her eyes.

These ladies aren’t here with good intentions, huh.

She smiled and humbly replied, “That’s because Sister Yang Mi is so stunning tonight in that beautiful gown. She looks way better in person than on screen.”

Hearing this, Yang Mi happily accepted the praise. She eyed Yun Shishi properly for the first time. “You are a newbie but seems to take well to grand occasions. You are sweet with your words, too!”

“Hmph! Bootlicker!” Tang Yu was bent on stirring conflict as she added sarcastically.

Yun Shishi was not flustered when she heard that. Instead, she smilingly asked, “It is a sincere compliment to Sister Yang Mi. She really looks radiant in her dress tonight. Does Sister Tang Yu not agree with my assessment?”

Yang Mi gave Tang Yu a warning look from her peripheral view. The latter rushed to clarify, “Nonsense. Are you trying to cause a rift between us?”

Yun Shishi gently replied, “I won’t dare do that. Sister Yang Mi is an excellent actress and Sister Tang Yu has great acting skills, too. You two are as close as sisters; how can I cause a rift between you two? Still, I must say that Sister Tang Yu is also up for the challenge tonight with your splendid appearance.”

She was subtly hinting that Tang Yu was equally dressed to kill, so she could fight with Yang Mi for the attention.

The two were under the same manager and company. Both became famous after acting in a drama series and were currently highly sought-after. Though Yang Mi was more famous than Tang Yu, she was often compared to the latter, and that had been making her quite unhappy lately.

Tang Yu was also frustrated with the constant comparison.

The two put so much effort into dressing up for tonight’s gala with the underlying intention of stealing each other’s thunder. However, both ended up looking almost the same.

“How can I compare with Sister Yang?! I’m behind her in terms of quality and experience!”

That goes without saying.

Yang Mi ignored her words and said, “You are called Yun Shishi, right?”

“Yes. How did Sister Yang Mi know of my name?” She was puzzled.

She smiled insincerely. “I heard about you when you got the female lead role in the ‘The Green Apple’. Congrats.”

She sounded like a sour grape.

Yun Shishi suddenly recalled some gossips Qin Zhou had shared with her earlier. Apparently, the female lead was already pre-determined despite the audition. The list of favorites included Yang Mi. Unfortunately, she was deemed as too old for the role by Lin Fengtian.

Getting disqualified due to her age was actually not fair to Yang Mi. At 25, she was not much older than the 24-year-old Yun Shishi. However, the deciding factor was that the latter looked much younger than her age and looked the part of a naïve school girl in uniform.

How could Yang Mi compare?

In this way, beauty was also a kind of talent.
