Fang Yourong reached out to take it and said, “I just contacted a film crew for you. The director said that you can play the third female lead.”
After all, she was her junior. Fang Yourong wanted to help her form her own network of connections.
“Really? Thank you, Sister Yourong,” Zhou Yao said happily.
Although getting a role as the third female lead was not as good as Su Bei’s role, it was better to have a chance than not at all.
Fang Yourong took the package and saw that it was something like a contract, so she opened it.
Inside was a greeting card. She picked it up and opened it. Suddenly, catkins came flying out.
Fang Yourong let out a cry and tossed the card aside. She sneezed uncontrollably.
“Ah-choo, Ah-choo!” Fang Yourong’s tears and snot flowed.
That was because she had a severe allergy to catkins. As long as she touched it, not only would she cough and sneeze but her skin would also become red and swollen. It would be difficult for the reaction to subside.
Therefore, she was very careful about going to places with catkins. However, she did not expect that she would be caught off guard and actually discover such a thing in the package she received.
“Sister Yourong, are you alright?” Zhou Yao quickly helped her to wash her face.
The a.s.sistant was also dumbfounded. “I’ll get the doctor!”
“Wait.” Fang Yourong stopped her a.s.sistant.
After Fang Yourong finished was.h.i.+ng her face and taking the medicine, she finally stopped sneezing. However, she realized that her face had become swollen and ugly.
She shouted angrily at Zhou Yao, “Where did this package come from? Don’t you know I’m allergic? Are you trying to kill me?”
“I’m sorry, Sister Yourong. I really didn’t know that there were such things inside.” Zhou Yao kept apologizing, her tears falling pitifully.
The more Fang Yourong looked at herself in the mirror, the angrier she became. As a female celebrity, she could not allow any flaws to appear on her face. But now that it was so red and swollen, what should she do?
The a.s.sistant checked the package and said, “It probably wasn’t sent by a fan because we didn’t announce our shooting location to the public. Also, your phone number is on it, which is also unknown to outsiders.”
Zhou Yao also said, “That’s right. I thought it was something important because I saw those personal details. I thought it was a contract, so I didn’t dare to open it on my own. I personally gave it to Sister Yourong. I’m really sorry. I was too careless.”
Fang Yourong was no longer angry. The most important thing now was to solve the problem at hand.
“Check who sent the package.” Fang Yourong gritted her teeth. If she caught this person, she would tear them into pieces.
“Sister Yourong, it seems to be Su Bei…” The a.s.sistant finished checking the parcel and found that there was actually the word ‘Su’ on it. “There are some courier services in the capital who require the sender to sign their own name. The word ‘Su’ here is very similar to Su Bei’s signature. I think she was the one who signed it.”
Zhou Yao said, “Why did Su Bei do that? Why did she leave her signature?”
“She definitely didn’t want others to know about her misdeeds, so she didn’t let her a.s.sistant do it. Hence, she had to do it herself. She had no choice but to put down her signature since the courier services required it, so she only put down one word.” The a.s.sistant a.n.a.lyzed and said, “How despicable of her to harm Sister Yourong like this!”
Fang Yourong gritted her teeth. “Is Su Bei crazy? She wants my role as the female lead?”
