Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 904 - 374 The Terrible Cost for Naba_2

Sure enough, avoiding criticism comes before career, money comes before career, and even romance comes before career.

Forget it, no point in expecting.

Su Huai suddenly had the urge to replace her with Sister Li.

An entertainment industry workhorse, Sister Li definitely counts as one—spending over 300 days a year in Hengdian, either filming or figuring out how to film. What boss wouldn’t love an employee like that?

Reba would be fine too—works all year round without rest, has the popularity when needed, and the right attitude to boot.

And yet, after all this effort, they ended up with someone like her...

Su Huai felt disdain in his heart but kept polite on the surface.

"In terms of resources, the company will find roles for you, preferably ones that highlight your personal attributes and are appealing. However, we do want your input as well—would you like to start work quickly, or take some time to really settle into the process?"

"Huh?" She was dazed again and weakly asked, "Settle into what?"

"Smack!"

Su Huai finally couldn’t hold back and smacked his own forehead. It didn’t make his head hurt—just somewhere lower.

"For instance, if you get assigned a good role, you pause your promotional activities, dedicate sufficient time to fully understand the script, immerse yourself in the character, and prepare for the shoot. This way, you slow down your work rhythm and keep it to producing two films or dramas a year, spending the rest of your time on personal growth and improvement."

He explained patiently, and Nazha finally seemed to understand.

"Ohhh, okay! That sounds good, I was never a fan of constantly rushing around."

Sure, she got it—but still missed the point entirely.

Su Huai sighed helplessly: "Slowing down is fine, but can you use that time to genuinely improve yourself? The time you’ll have is meant for self-development, not for sleeping in or dating."

"Sure, I can!"

She nodded confidently and decisively: "I’m super hardworking!"

Su Huai honestly wasn’t sure whether her lack of success was due to poor talent or lack of effort, so he half-believingly asked, "Really? Can you commit to doing morning practices every single day?"

"Huh? That’s impossible, I can’t keep that up."

She immediately waved her hands and then sheepishly smiled: "I can’t get up..."

Su Huai was utterly speechless but knew exactly how to handle her.

No more talk—just ramp up the intensity.

"From now on, all your work is on hold. Next year, the company and Tencent Film and Television have an S+ project, and you’re the female lead. But you need to start training right now.

I’ll assign you a personal assistant whose sole job is to drive you and supervise your practice sessions every day. Your acting coach will be Chang Li, and whenever she decides you’re competent, that’s when you can resume normal work.

Don’t worry about losing buzz during this slow period—if you nail that big production role, I’ll make you the top-tier actress overnight, completely wiping away all your past negative press.

However, if you still can’t pull it off, your future work will only be variety shows.

Is that clear enough for you?"

Nazha’s previously cold and commanding demeanor had long since disappeared without a trace. At this moment, she was pouting, muttering under her breath in defiance: "Why should I?"

"Hmm?"

Su Huai leaned forward, pressing his hands against the desk, towering over her.

She acted completely different from the "big sibling" persona she’d shown earlier—now timid, face flushed red, avoiding Su Huai’s gaze like a shy young wife.

Gou Huai felt a flicker of interest in his heart and, with a flip of his hand, locked the final nomination spot on her.

A girl this easy to manipulate—what a waste it would be not to keep her in the mix...

The moment he confirmed her, the Favorability Rating surfaced: 92 points. Incredible!

Starting this high not only proves she’s a sucker for good looks but also ties closely to Gou Huai’s innate sleazy charm.

Oh, and he had an active advantage too.

"Because I’m your boss. Don’t you realize you’re terrible at self-discipline—practically a spoiled princess who needs someone to constantly keep you in check?"

Gou Huai’s tone was neither heavy nor light, his voice casual, his expression unremarkable—more like stating a fact than adding any romantic undertone.

Favorability Rating +2, effortlessly.

Honestly, normal people would have a tough time understanding her thought process. She held Su Huai’s gaze for two seconds, then abruptly laughed, turned her head shyly, and said:

"Really? You really think I’m a princess?"

"Yes."

Gou Huai, despite the guilt gnawing at him, kept spinning the tale: "I’ve watched some of your reality shows. To me, you’re beautiful, adorable, and pure. But you lack determination, which is why you haven’t achieved the success that your natural beauty deserves.

Don’t you think it’s a shame?

I don’t know what you think, but I find it deeply regrettable—it shouldn’t be this way.

So, I’ll give you wings and help you soar to the sky. All I ask is that you obey... can you do that?"

"Of course!" She nodded without hesitation, saying briskly, "I’ve always been super obedient and considerate."

After a pause, she added, "I know you’re doing this for my own good. Everyone says you’re an amazing boss, and now that I’ve met you in person, I really feel like you’re someone worth trusting..."

Diagnosed—severely immature.

Nazha’s barefaced appearance ranks among the top in the entertainment world. Truly stunning. Don’t bother comparing her to average actresses in full makeup—their natural state doesn’t even come close. Only Feixian stands a chance after wiping off the cosmetics.

But she’s rarely appreciated because her personality is just too shallow.

To put it bluntly, she’s breathtakingly beautiful but lacking in personal charm—over time, it becomes tiresome.

Everyone needs love, but when a woman pours all her attention into love, she’s destined to be unfulfilled, incomplete, and unhealthy.

Reba doesn’t lack love—her ambitious career drive keeps her vibrant, and her resolute independence has earned her a massive base of female fans.

That’s the difference.
