General Manager Li got straight to the point, "As long as you sleep with me, I will give you this role immediately."
General Manager Li couldn't help but think.
Lin Qingyan should still be a virgin.
Having this pure idol of the entertainment industry pinned beneath him would surely be a fantastic experience.
He couldn't wait to try it.
General Manager Li's hand stroked Lin Qingyan's thigh, caressing it.
Lin Qingyan's hair stood on end, and she stood up abruptly.
"No, absolutely not," Lin Qingyan said coldly. "I could never sell my body for a role."
Obviously, as soon as she walked in, General Manager Li's intentions were clear.
Yet she still held onto a sliver of hope.
Thinking she could get this role without being subjected to the unspoken rules.
It was wishful thinking on her part.
Her manager stopped her, "Yanyan, what are you doing? This is a very good opportunity. Think about it, at your current level, can you still get such a good role?"
"Just accompany General Manager Li this once. Sleeping with him once in exchange for such good resources is not a loss."
Lin Qingyan said with a dark expression, "Impossible."
Lin Qingyan prepared to leave.
The manager's face turned cold, "Yanyan, I'm sorry."
Lin Qingyan's heart suddenly leaped into her throat.
"What are you trying to do?"
The manager said, "Yanyan, don't blame me. Everything I'm doing is for your own good."
It was for Lin Qingyan, and also for himself.
He was Lin Qingyan's manager, relying on the commission from her earnings as his salary.
Lin Qingyan hadn't had any work for a very long time.
Consequently, he didn't have much money either.
He could only let Lin Qingyan submit to the unspoken rules; this way, she could get good resources, and he would earn more income.
The manager strode toward the door.
General Manager Li sat leisurely on the sofa, drinking wine.
Lin Qingyan sensed something was wrong and tried to rush out the door.
But as a result, she was pushed hard by the manager, preventing her from leaving.
"Brother Chen, you can't treat me like this," Lin Qingyan said with red eyes.
"You've been my manager for many years. We've been together for so long, we can be considered good friends. I don't want to follow the unspoken rules, please let me leave, okay?" Lin Qingyan grabbed the manager's hand, begging bitterly.
"Good friends?" The manager's face was full of coldness. "Without money, you are nothing but shit!"
The manager heavily shook off Lin Qingyan's hand.
"Ah—"
Lin Qingyan fell to the ground.
Under Lin Qingyan's despairing gaze, the door was shut by the manager.
The manager locked the door with a key.
He was worried that someone might come over and disturb Lin Qingyan and General Manager Li.
The manager stood guard at the door.
Looking at the tightly closed door, despair revealed itself in Lin Qingyan's eyes.
With a lecherous smile on his face, General Manager Li walked toward Lin Qingyan step by step.
As he walked, he took off his coat.
"Click," he even unbuckled his belt.
His pants dropped, revealing his underwear.
Lin Qingyan slapped the door in despair.
"Let me out, let me out!"
General Manager Li smiled and said, "Lin Qingyan, stop struggling. Anything can happen here, and as long as no one dies, the hotel won't interfere."
"Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."
Lin Qingyan still refused to give up, pounding on the door.
"Somebody come quickly, save me..."
General Manager Li looked at Lin Qingyan's back. Her writhing body looked very appetizing.
General Manager Li couldn't wait to enjoy Lin Qingyan.
He grabbed Lin Qingyan's wrist and threw her to the floor.
"Ah."
Lin Qingyan's back slammed against the ground.
General Manager Li straddled her.
Lin Qingyan said in despair, "You can't do anything to me. Little Li has opened a medical company. If you dare do anything to me, my brother will absolutely not let you off."
"Lin Li?" General Manager Li mocked, "You mean that piece of trash, Lin Li?"
"He got his engagement broken off, got beaten up, and even became a eunuch. He can't even take care of himself, and you think he can come save you?"
"Lin Qingyan, you'd better just submit to me," General Manager Li said with a smile. "I have money. If you give in to me, I'll definitely give you plenty of resources. You'll become a very famous female star in the future, maybe even a Best Actress."
After speaking.
General Manager Li tried to kiss Lin Qingyan's lips. Lin Qingyan bit his arm, biting down hard until she broke the skin.
"Ah—"
General Manager Li screamed in pain.
He forcefully threw Lin Qingyan off.
"Slap, slap, slap—" He slapped Lin Qingyan's face several times.
"What do you have to be so arrogant about now?"
General Manager Li's face was full of fierce flesh. "Your family's company has already gone bankrupt. Do you think the Lin family is still the same Lin family at the height of its power?"
"Even if I force myself on you, the Lin family can't do anything about it even if they find out."
"Your family did produce a promising Lin Xuan, but it's a pity that Lin Xuan has already cut ties with you all and treats you as his enemies. Even if Lin Xuan had massive power, it's impossible for him to stand up for you."
"Lin Qingyan, it's your blessing that I even have my eyes on you. Don't be ungrateful when I'm doing you a favor!"
Hearing General Manager Li's words, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but think.
Right.
If Little Xuan hadn't left the Lin family.
Their Lin family wouldn't be left to be bullied by others like this.
Although this General Manager Li had some money, he used to be extremely respectful to their Lin family.
How could he possibly dare to pin her to the floor like he was doing now?
"Lin Qingyan, I advise you to stop struggling."
"If you continue to disobey me like this, I might just sleep with you and still not give you the female lead in 'Fengsheng Changge', and I'll even blacklist you."
"If you don't appear in front of the public for a long time, it won't be long before everyone forgets you and you become a nobody."
Lin Qingyan's heart wavered slightly.
She thought of Lin Li again.
She had invested a lot of money in Li'er's company, and now Li'er's medical company had even developed a specific drug to treat stomach cancer.
Just relying on this specific drug alone, Li'er's pharmaceutical company would be able to earn a lot of money.
Not to mention, there were other projects.
With that money, she could completely invest in filming her own dramas, and many people would proactively offer her resources.
She didn't need to submit to the unspoken rules at all.
"No, I can't."
Lin Qingyan was still struggling, "Let me go quickly!"
"Hahaha." General Manager Li laughed loudly, "Lin Qingyan, you are destined not to escape today."
General Manager Li tried to kiss Lin Qingyan again.
"Let go."
"Ah—"
"Let go—"
Lin Xuan and his group came out of their private room.
They passed by Lin Qingyan's private room.
Lin Xuan's footsteps suddenly paused, and he looked toward the room.
Isn't this Lin Qingyan's voice?
