By the end of the luncheon, all the actors at the scene have heard the news that Qiu Jin got the part of Ji He.

Those unfamiliar with him just spared him a glance. But there were some people who took the initiative to come up and greet him. What's more, people who didn't even look at him before were suddenly greeting him now.

Qiu Jin was already familiar with this kind of change in behavior in people. He was too lazy to deal with these people and was about to go to the bathroom to hide for a bit.

When Qiu Jin came out of the bathroom, he saw Wen Mojia standing at the door with a dark face, staring at him with a bad expression.

Qiu Jin tried to go around the other man after washing his hands, but someone grabbed his arm.

Qiu Jin glanced at him.

"Is there something wrong?"

Seeing how leisurely he was, Wen Mojia's expression sank a little bit, and he gritted his teeth.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're relying on to climb the ladder."

"You know?"

Qiu Jin suddenly burst out with laughter.

"Then why don't you tell me what I am relying on?"

"You..."

Wen Mojia just wanted to threaten Qiu Jin, but he did not expect the other person to be so shameless, so his anger came out.

"Shameless! I saw everything at the company that day!"

"What did you see?"

Qiu Jin suppressed the smile on his face, stepped closer, and asked again.

"Say it, what did you see?"

Wen Mojia raised his head and fell into Qiu Jin's pitch-black eyes. Qiu Jin's imposing aura was astonishing. It was at this time that Wen Mojia realized that he was actually a bit shorter than Qiu Jin.

But it was Qiu Jin who did the wrong thing, so what did Wen Mojia have to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Wen Mojia suddenly felt confident.

He raised his chin and said, "I saw you get in Ji Shenxiao's car!"

Once he said this provoking sentence, Wen Mojia no longer restrained himself.

His eyes swept over Qiu Jin obscenely, and said, "Just what does Ji Shenxiao see in you? Or does he think it's more fun to top an alpha?"

Qiu Jin's breathing paused for a second. In the next moment, he grabbed Wen Mojia's arm and slammed him against the wall.

"What are you doing?!"

After being caught off guard by this attack, Wen Mojia panicked immediately. But he could not move at all because Qiu Jin was holding him by the head and the left side of his face was pressed against the cold wall.

"This is just a small warning."

Qiu Jin pressed his left hand down on Wen Mojia's head, while he suppressed both of Wen Mojia's hands with his right hand.

"¹," he spoke each word clearly.

Wen Mojia became angry, and said, "How am I talking nonsense? Would you be able to win that role if Ji Shenxiao wasn't protecting you?"

Wen Mojia has been feeling so aggrieved lately. Although his acting skills were not great, he was by no means a vase man. He had good looks, popularity, and investment, but he was still suppressed by Qiu Jin, who was inferior to him in every way.

If this was not a case of the casting couch, then what was it?

Particularly those in the banquet hall just now, they were looking at him as if they wanted to directly write the word 'loser' on this face.

Qiu Jin paused for a while, and then said, "Is that how you see me?"

Wen Mojia sneered, "How else? Do you really think your acting is good?"

Qiu Jin was silent for a while, before he suddenly started to smile. It was not appropriate for the occasion. It was clearly the gentle type of smile, but it made Wen Mojia tremble despite not being cold.

Wen Mojia was stunned. He opened his mouth, not even realizing how much his voice was trembling.

"What? What are you smiling about?"

"I'm smiling at your naivety."

While smiling faintly, Qiu Jin said the most shocking words gently.

"You're talking to me this way. Do you really think that I can't kill you?"

Wen Mojia's eyes widened suddenly.

At that moment, he felt like there was a pair of hands grabbing his heart, and the fear invaded his skin from every pore, making him feel like he has fallen into an ice cave.

Wen Mojia fell into a frantic battle inside his mind.

It is impossible. They were all people with status and prestige. How could Qiu Jin kill him off so easily?

But Qiu Jin was originally a lunatic, what if he was serious? Even if Qiu Jin ended up in prison at the end, Wen Mojia would not be able to return from the dead!

Moreover, Qiu Jin was intimately related to Ji Shenxiao, and with that person's means, it was possible to get rid of someone...

The more Wen Mojia thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He was about to beg for mercy when he heard Qiu Jin say, "Am I right, Tongguang?"
