"Damn it—Cathy Zhou, aren't you a little flirtatious yourself? Huh? And—when I'm talking, no women are allowed to butt in! Did you forget that?" Charles Morin was just getting into his story when he heard the beautiful girl complain, and his face immediately darkened.
"Ah—I'm sorry, I'm sorry—Brother Charles, I—I know I was wrong, I—I won't dare do it again—" The beautiful girl saw Charles Morin's unhappy expression and instantly turned pale, trembling with fear. She knew all too well that with Charles Morin's spoiled personality, crossing him could mean serious trouble.
"Damn it, you think there'll be a next time? You think I'm an idiot? You can get lost now!" Charles Morin continued coldly.
"Please—Brother Charles, I beg you, just give me one more chance! I promise, I swear I'll never make you angry again—I'll do whatever you want, however you like, just please don't kick me out—otherwise, I won't have any place in the entertainment industry! Please—" The beautiful girl was terrified, instantly kneeling and begging Charles Morin desperately. She knew exactly what would happen if she offended him.
"Hmph—Cathy Zhou, who the hell do you think you are? You're just some actress from Beijing Film Academy with a bit of background! There are tons of women like you who want to be stars in showbiz. If you want to make it in this business, you should know the rules. In the entire Chinese entertainment scene, the Morin Family controls half the game. We decide who gets famous. With your attitude, you can't even handle a little joke, and you expect to climb up? Are you out of your mind?" Charles Morin kept berating her without mercy.
"Brother Charles, I—I really know I was wrong, you—you can punish me however you want, just please don't kick me out—my dream has always been to be a star—Brother Charles, please, have some pity on me—" Cathy Zhou was trembling all over, kneeling and begging Charles Morin, crying so hard her tears fell like rain.
This scene left Alex Easton and the other two stunned, exchanging awkward glances. They hadn't expected this spoiled heir Charles Morin to have so much influence, able to control someone's fate like that. Meanwhile, Shawn Young thought Charles was just unpredictable and making a big deal out of nothing, so he finally spoke up: "Uh—Brother Morin, the girl didn't mean any harm. Since she's apologized, why not let her off the hook?"
Charles Morin saw Shawn Young speak up and immediately raised his eyebrows, his expression softening. He turned to Cathy Zhou, still kneeling, and said harshly, "Damn it, Cathy Zhou, you little brat, today Shawn's speaking up for you, so I'll give him some face. Consider yourself lucky, now hurry up and get up—"
"Thank you—thank you, Brother Charles—sob—" Cathy Zhou was so moved by his words that she burst into tears.
"Come on, why are you thanking me? If you want to thank someone, thank Brother Shawn! Damn, all this crying and whining is killing my mood. You girls, if you want to make it big with Star China Entertainment and become famous, don't follow her example! Otherwise, you won't be so lucky—" Charles Morin scolded Cathy Zhou while warning the other terrified beautiful girls around him.
"Got it, Brother Charles, we'll—we'll be extra obedient—" The beautiful girls quickly promised.
"Oh—so Charles Morin is the real boss behind Star China Entertainment. No wonder this guy acts so arrogant—he really is a big shot—" Alex Easton and the others exchanged glances, suddenly understanding. Star China Entertainment was so famous in China that everyone knew about it, and anyone familiar with showbiz knew the real owner was someone from the Morin Family. But nobody dared to dig deeper or say it out loud, because if the Morin Family got upset, all those gossip reporters would be out of a job!
Star China Entertainment, owned by the Morin Family, was a household name in China—basically the biggest film and TV company in the country, the true entertainment giant. It held a pivotal position in the industry, and every young student studying acting in China's film schools, or anyone dreaming of stardom, wanted to sign with Star China Entertainment! The reason was simple—except for some remote areas, Star China and its subsidiaries dominated most of the entertainment industry. Whether people liked it or not, when they watched shows, they saw Star China's logo everywhere. For a company this big, making a newcomer famous was ridiculously easy.
The beautiful girls following Charles Morin were all students from various film academies in China. Though they were young, not even twenty, and came from wealthy families, their backgrounds were nothing compared to the Morin Family. All of them dreamed of being stars, so they went out of their way to get close to Charles Morin, the future owner of Star China Entertainment. In the dirty world of showbiz, this was the fastest shortcut to becoming a celebrity. Anyone familiar with the industry knew—these were the unspoken rules! And honestly, it was all pretty obvious. After all, in a country as populous as China, there were just too many young people wanting to be famous!
Cathy Zhou, lucky to escape trouble, immediately thanked Shawn Young gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Shawn, thank you for speaking up for me—"

"Hmph—Cathy Zhou, if you really want to thank Brother Shawn, you'd better show some sincerity. Don't just talk, do something! Shawn's a good friend of mine, and if you can make him happy, I'll give you a chance to move up—" Charles Morin suddenly sneered wickedly.
"Oh—okay—okay—I know how to behave—Brother Shawn, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it, I promise you'll be satisfied—" Cathy Zhou blushed, moving closer to Shawn Young and deliberately pulling down the neckline of her short skirt. Cathy was only eighteen or nineteen, youthful and curvy, and with that motion, a generous view of her pale chest was exposed right in front of Shawn. She fully understood what Charles Morin meant, but she also knew the rules of the game. For girls like her dreaming of stardom, there were just too many competitors—she had to seize every opportunity.
"Oh—you—you don't have to do that, that's not what I meant—really, you don't have to—" Shawn Young didn't expect Cathy Zhou to be so 'understanding.' Standing above her, he could see her pale, full chest and those two rosy tips, and he was instantly flustered. Shawn wasn't a clueless kid anymore—after meeting so many beautiful women, he'd built up some resistance to temptation. But with everyone watching, Cathy Zhou's move still left him feeling awkward and overwhelmed.
"Heh—looks like Brother Shawn has picky tastes and doesn't like leftovers! Fine, next time I'll introduce you to a pure, untouched beauty!" Charles Morin saw Shawn's embarrassment and didn't push him. He remembered the meaningful look Upward Feiyun gave him before leaving—hoping he'd build a connection with Shawn Young. Though Charles was a spoiled heir, he was also smart and understood the importance of this. After all, he trusted Upward Feiyun's judgment completely.
"Ah—Brother Shawn, did I do something wrong? I'll change right away! Please, give me a chance—" Cathy Zhou was genuinely flustered this time, feeling her chance at stardom slipping away.
"Uh—that's not what I meant—you—you misunderstood—I've got other things to do today! No time for fun, that's all—" Shawn Young saw how pitiful Cathy Zhou looked and could only comfort her.
"Cathy Zhou, did you hear that? Brother Shawn's not in the mood to play with you today, and you're not his type. Plus, he spoke up for you, so don't say I never gave you a chance. Now, get in the car, play with yourself, and record it on your phone for me to see. If I'm satisfied, you'll still have a shot!" Charles Morin said coldly, not caring about Cathy Zhou's resistance—he controlled the futures of girls like her.
