Chapter Seventy Star Road
Zhang Xiaoting followed closely behind, her heart feeling like it had been turned upside down, she was at a loss and didn't know what lay ahead. Since she had come this far, she couldn't turn back now, so she gritted her teeth and continued on.
The door of the room in the corner was locked, and Zhao Hanquan seemed to have been prepared early on. He took out a key from his pajama pocket and turned it three times before opening the door.
The moment she pushed open the door, Zhang Xiaoting was stunned. The furnishings inside the room were in stark contrast to the modern furniture and appliances outside. The room was small, with a single bed in the center. On either side of the bed stood two wooden racks. One rack held many strange objects, including ropes, whips, handcuffs, and leg irons. The other rack was filled with clothes: hotel staff uniforms, flight attendant uniforms, school uniforms, nurse uniforms... Zhang Xiaoting suddenly felt dizzy. Although she was young, she had learned from the news that these items were used for certain purposes. She couldn't believe that Zhao Hanquan, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and seemed so polite, could be so perverted. Suddenly, she wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Zhao Hangquan took out a set of flight attendant uniforms from the wooden frame and threw them at her feet, his face twisted in a terrifying scowl: "Put this on."
"I...I don't want to..." Zhang Xiaoting shrank back into the corner of the wall, but soon there was nowhere left to retreat. She glanced at the still open door and turned around to rush towards it, but her weaker body was no match for Zhao Hanquan, who had lost all reason. Zhao Hanquan took a big step forward and grabbed her, slapping his hand across her face. Zhang Xiaoting covered her face and let out a mournful cry, tears hadn't even had time to fall before her body was thrown onto the bed like an eagle snatching a chicken. In extreme panic, Zhang Xiaoting looked at Zhao Hanquan with eyes full of terror, and lost control of her bladder, wetting the marble floor beneath her. One drop, two drops, three drops... "I...I don't want to..." Zhang Xiaoting curled up into a ball, begging for mercy. Zhao Hanquan's face was red with rage, and with a loud "bang", he slammed the door shut. Instantly, mournful cries echoed out of the narrow room, resonating throughout the entire high-end residential building, echoing through the boundless night sky, even startling the little mice hiding in the bushes, causing them to scurry about in all directions.
"I'm right, aren't I? At 9 o'clock in the evening, as punctual as a radio broadcast, that madman is making trouble again." Many residents who had not yet fallen asleep pulled up their windows and cursed, as if they were already used to such miserable cries and didn't find it strange anymore.
The next day, a rumor spread in the Dongcheng district that the new film of Tianxing International Entertainment had already finalized its cast and passed the audition. Once the formalities were completed, production would begin immediately. The second female lead, who was supposed to be an excellent high school student, turned out not to be a student at all, but rather a relatively unknown hotel lobby manager. The news spread like wildfire, and people became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They asked around about which hotel the lobby manager worked at, wondering if they might have even been served by her personally when they went there for dinner.
On the third day, some entertainment newspapers began to report extensively. Zhang Xiaoting gradually emerged from obscurity, her elegant and refreshing appearance as a high school student in the new era was presented to the public through the entertainment newspapers that took the lead, evoking a sigh of admiration from readers: It turned out that the female supporting actor of the new film had such a sad past, when she was in high school, her father went to prison and her brother ran away. She didn't give up, but instead persevered and supported a family on her own. The entertainment newspapers used a large amount of space to describe how hardworking, progressive, self-reliant, and selfless she was, winning the sympathy of many people, and no one pursued the fact that she was not a high school student anymore.
On the fourth day, the artist manager company, along with Tianxing International Entertainment, officially announced through Dongcheng TV's variety channel that the first realistic TV series in Dongcheng District, "Lost Youth", which focuses on the life of a female middle school student, has officially started filming. This TV series will be led by the internationally renowned superstar Hao Feifei, who plays a young mother, and Zhang Xiaoting, who plays an unmarried mother's illegitimate daughter...
Pang Guang pressed the remote control in his hand, and the TV screen suddenly went black.
