"I've always had faith in you and this time is no different."

On the way home, Jennie suddenly thought about Minho's daughter and turned to ask Lisa, "Why does Minho have a daughter? Is he married?"

Lisa wrapped his arm around her and replied calmly, "According to Minho's profile, he is not married. As for his daughter, I'm afraid only he knows the truth. Are you still trying to match him up with Suzy?"

Jennie shook her head. This time, she was simply concerned about him.

Seeing Jennie in a daze, Lisa pinched her neck, "It's OK, don't worry too much..."

"Can I be more worried than you?" Jennie asked. Ever since Lisa became her manager, everything related to her belonged in the grasp of his hands. This included small things like what time she'd bathe and what time she'd sleep. Luckily, Jennie never found this annoying. When a person as amazing as Lisa is thoughtful towards you, what else could you wish for?

"Manoban Entertainment's celebration dinner is on tomorrow. So, tomorrow afternoon, get Rosé to accompany you to get your hair and makeup done."

"I can go by myself."

"Make sure you go," Lisa ordered with a deeper meaning.

Jennie couldn't argue against him, so all she could do was nod her head, "As you wish. Who told you to be my manager?"

"Also, you can't wear the dress that Rosé picked, it's too casual. Tomorrow morning I'll get Jisoo to deliver a dress to you," Lisa looked at Rosé scornfully. However, Rosé did not feel upset by this comment, because this meant Lisa cared about Jennie. This was more important than anything.

Because in the end, between Jennie and Zhen Manni, the winner was actually dependent on Lisa...

Whoever this man chose to be the winner - was the winner!

...

That night, two people gave Suzy a phone call, one after another.

The first was Zhen Manni, "I heard you've been injured. It's not serious, is it? Who did you offend?"

"Zhen Manni, aren't you tired of keeping up your act?" Suzy scoffed as she sat up in bed before coughing a couple times. As soon as her assistant heard her conversation, she immediately brought over a cushion, "Too bad you weren't extreme enough, I'm still half alive."

"Since you've already figured it out, there's nothing I can say. Think of this as a small lesson to be learned. Suzy, would you believe it if I told you, if I have the ability to leave you with half a life, I can also make you spend it in violence?"

"Of course I believe you can," Suzy replied in certainty without a trace of fear, "But, you are being much too conceited."

"I can do what I want. Does anyone have the ability to stop me? Let me tell you...if I spread the rumor that Star King has given me an offer, even Lisa will be in a panic."

"How confident are you with what you've said?" Suzy burst out laughing.

"You just wait and see. At the upcoming celebration dinner, you will be able to witness Jennie's real status!"

"As well as yours!" After speaking, Susy hung up the phone; there was nothing else she wanted to talk to Zhen Manni about.

From the moment she entered Manoban Entertainment, she realized the artists in the agency were like a family; whenever someone needed help, there would always be someone willing to lend a hand. But it just so happened, there still existed a greedy person.

A moment later, she received a phone call from Minho...

As soon as she saw the phone number appear on her screen, Minho's mind went blank. She was aware that the rumors over the past few days had caused Minho quite a lot of trouble. Since he already had a daughter, she didn't want to continue implicating him...

So, Suzy decided not to pick up the phone.

Minho assumed she had gone to sleep, so he sent her a message instead.

"Are you OK?"

As soon as Suzy saw these three words, she sighed and deleted the message without hesitation.

Everything will eventually pass...

Everything will eventually get better...

She still needed to appear beautifully in front of her French man.

...

In a flash, it was already 3pm the next day.

This was the night of the Fei Tian Awards Ceremony. After the ceremony, Manoban Entertainment would host their celebration dinner.

This was a tough competition in acting and a relatively important awards ceremony, because the Fei Tian Award was an actor's final goal before pursuing international endeavors. It was an award that held a lot of value.

So, the red carpet tonight was extremely lively.

As a model, Jennie didn't originally have any business being at the celebration dinner, but she didn't want to be absent during Manoban Entertainment's 20th Anniversary. So, she headed over to a hair and makeup salon named Luminous which was arranged by Lisa. This famous salon only catered to celebrities and their clientele included many well-known figures. Small-time artists had to call ahead to make an appointment; some couldn't even find an empty time slot.

"Couldn't we come earlier? Why did Boss insist we come at this time?" seeing Luminous was overcrowded, Rosé couldn't help but complain.

The people here were all relatively famous artists. But, for the sake of competition, they had no choice but to arrive early and queue up like normal people.

"Jenjen, wait here, I'll go look for the best stylist."

Jennie retrieved a VIP gold card from her handbag and handed it to Rosé, "Use this."

Rosé took the card and was completely smitten, "Did boss make this card for you?"

"I'm not sure. He gave it to me last night," Jennie shook her head as she sat on the sofa; she had no idea about the features of the VIP card.

One of the attendants saw the card in Jennie's hand, so she quickly walked over, "Miss, how are you? I see you have Cheng stylist's VIP card. Please wait here, I'll go fetch him."

It turned out the VIP card was aimed at a specific person!

Jennie nodded her head and had a look at the time. The celebration dinner was to be held at 10pm, so she still had a sufficient amount of time.

However, at this time, the people around Jennie started to point at her and whisper.

"Isn't that Jennie? I've never seen her come here before. Look, she's even got a VIP gold card!"

"Zhen Manni is also inside. This time, we have a good show to watch."

"Jennie appears soft and weak, if she is to go up against Zhen Manni, isn't she at a loss?"

"That may not be the case. Jennie always seems to exceed expectations."

Jennie didn't say anything as she listened to the discussions. However, she took note of the fact that Zhen Manni was also present. She finally understood why Lisa had insisted for her to arrive at this time. It was because he knew Zhen Manni would also be here.

Afterwards, the attendant reappeared and said apologetically, "Miss, I'm so sorry, Mr. Cheng is currently attending to another person. But, if you are in a rush, he can tend to you first."

"Approximately how long will I need to wait?"

"Roughly 3 hours," the attendant replied.

Jennie furrowed her brows and asked, "Who is he attending to?"

"Miss Zhen Manni."

"In that case, ask him to come over here, I'm in a rush." As soon as she heard Zhen Manni's name, Jennie immediately snatched the man away without Zhen Manni knowing.
