The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 399

Entering the main hall, there was still some time before the evening gala officially began. The positions of the artists were all arranged in advance by the organizers, and name tags were affixed to each seat beforehand.

Who sits where and with whom, the organizers deliberately arranged it, taking into account both the relationships of those sitting together and the popularity level of the artists, so the organizers thoughtfully arranged all the hot CPs hyped up online to sit together.

So the live broadcast showed:

There were those who were happy to take the opportunity to boost their popularity;

There were those who sat awkwardly together but tried their best to keep their distance;

There were those who sat down naturally to chat, completely unconcerned about it all;

And there were those who sat with sullen faces, not speaking to each other.

Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao were in this last state, suddenly remembering they shouldn't speak to each other, so they reverted back to ignoring each other.

The camera panned over, only able to capture these two actors sitting in the front row not saying anything to each other, eyes looking straight ahead, zero interaction.

Looking at the other celebrities, they were basically actively hyping up their relationships, or chatting with other artists, only Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao, because of the low pressure around them, no one dared approach.

Comments:

[Is there a fanfic author who could write about that tycoon x top star CP? I won't let you use love as electricity, just give me a link and I'll crawl along the internet cable to send you money. Don't feel bad for me, I just have this one hobby.]

[I'm most excited whenever those two put on sullen faces and ignore each other like that.]

[They're just friends.]

[We know, so what?]

[I don't mean anything else, I'm not a fan, just want to remind you all, these CPs are fake, they hype up relationships like this, and you all buy into it, so they can make money.]

[Oh thanks, you can also go to Disneyland and tell the parade audience that those characters are fake.

You can also tell Harry Potter fans that magic doesn't exist in this world.

And and, you can also tell Ultraman fans that there is no Ultraman, don't believe in the power of light.]

[Those tourists and fans might beat him up, why is he so annoying? Everyone else is drunk while you alone are awake, the whole world is dirty while you alone are clean. You've discovered the truth? You alone possess wise eyes? You alone see through the essence of the world?]

[Who cares if a dream is real or fake, they weave beautiful dreams for us, we pay for the dreams, it's very normal!]

[Yeah, less gossip about the fairies.]

...

The gala officially started, the lights in the audience dimmed, and the stage lights came on.

"Counting today, you haven't watered your plants for three days already. The leaves of the jasmine have turned yellow, the camel's back bamboo is also nearly dead, and that lemon tree you planted...

Will it really grow lemons?"

When the lights were off it was good for talking. Everyone's attention was on the stage, as long as you controlled your volume and expression, others wouldn't notice.

So when Qiao Sixiao said these words, her tone was severe, but her expression was gentle and cheerful.

Anyway, there were no microphones to pick up what they were saying. The camera couldn't capture the content of their conversation.

Qin Wei, also looking at the opening performance on stage, said:

"Then can you help me take care of them... If you're too busy, ask Xiao Wang to help, it's just a flick of the hand..."

Qiao Sixiao gritted her teeth. Even as the camera panned over her, she still waved and smiled, but at the same time said:

"Listen to yourself, is that something a normal person would say? These were plants you raised to begin with. As the homeowner I didn't say anything, yet you're acting like an absentee landlord!

What do you mean, a flick of the hand? Why don't you flick your own hand to do it yourself? Hm? What gives you the right to arrogantly push your own responsibilities onto others? If you have no sense of responsibility then don't raise them, throw them away!"

Qin Wei sighed, even clenching her teeth a little:

"How did it become just my responsibility? Haven't you felt happy seeing all the little green plants every day? Haven't you felt carefree smelling the floral fragrance every day?

Not to mention you drink jasmine tea at home, but even when you go out you put it in your cup, don't pretend I don't know even though I'm too lazy to expose you.

Aside from anything else, I specifically asked you when buying that camel's back bamboo, and you said it looked nice so I placed the order.

And that lemon, I guarantee it will bloom and bear fruit within three years!"

Qin Wei's counterattack was completely merciless. At the end she even sarcastically added:

"Speaking of lack of responsibility, reflect on what heartless words you've said. You didn't give up a single benefit, you're completely unwilling to help. As a roommate I want to ask you, does this home belong to only me?"

Qiao Sixiao only felt a headache coming on, her blood pressure seemed to be rising too. She gave a cold laugh:

"Oh, now you remember I'm your roommate? I wanted to ask you the same question...

No, this home belonged to me alone to begin with. You're just a freeloader leeching food, shelter and board!"

Qin Wei restrained her smile, somewhat angry:

"When I cook for you how come you don't remind me I'm a freeloader? When I draw you a bath how come you don't say I'm a freeloader? When I... What kind of person are you, so heartless! I've been busy the last few days, what's wrong with me living outside for a bit?"

Qiao Sixiao didn't want to say any more, afraid that arguing with her further would make her lose control of her emotions. At least in an occasion like this, she shouldn't and couldn't curse her out completely.

Seeing her not speaking, Qin Wei also didn't want to endlessly quibble with her. As a defensive player, she would never take the initiative to aggressively press someone.

So Qiao Sixiao turned her head to look left, while Qin Wei looked right.

Comments:

[Did Qin Wei notice my brother's stunning visuals? But there's no need to stare at him like that, poor brother sitting next to this flower maniac.]

[Ah, brother's ears are turning red, Qin Wei really doesn't need to stare at him so intently, he's very shy.]

[Qin Wei is still quite bold!]

[Are there fanfic authors who could write about the elite university professor x corporate heiress CP? I can send you virtual gifts!]

[Those above, I'm not a fan, but I know those two have never collaborated before. Qin Wei probably doesn't even know his name. You're just being scammed like this.]

[Why are you still here? Still here!! I'm going to wash you out! Do you have to provoke fans of every CP?]

[I just want to remind you all, those who can dance in front of the camera are mostly just hyping up relationships. You still don't know better and scold me?]

[You don't follow stars yet pay attention to these kinds of galas? And know who has collaborated with who?]

[Scolding you precisely!]

...

After a while, Xiao Wang quietly walked over and squatted next to Qiao Sixiao, saying to her:

"Sis, it's almost time for your singing part, you should head over first..."

Qiao Sixiao nodded and left.

"Xiao Wang..."

Qin Wei softly called out the other's assistant.

"Could you help me water the plants..."

"We'll talk about it later!"

Xiao Wang left these three words and then hurriedly left for backstage.

[Xiao Wang's Diary: I really made something of myself today, that silly sweetheart asked me for help and I actually put on airs!

At the time I didn't feel anything was wrong, because I was too busy, needing to coordinate with many people, listen to many demands, I was already dizzy...

Recalling her not very happy expression before bedtime, I started having insomnia. Will she tell on me to my older sister? With her looks, if her eyes redden a little, crying as she tells of her grievances, anyone would feel distressed for her right?

In modern society, does kneeling demonstrate repentance? How should I explain to earn her forgiveness?]
