The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 80

Qin Wei smiled lightly, and also raised her hand to wave at her.

Youyou pointed to the empty seat next to her while mouthing to her:

"Come sit here!"

Qin Wei nodded, just about to get up to go over, when she saw Liu Xin walk in and go straight to the seat next to Youyou and sit down.

It wasn't deliberately against Qin Wei, but that position was both near the front and relatively in the middle, so no matter which camera was filming, it would easily catch her, and she would unintentionally get a lot more shots just by sitting there.

Youyou turned her head and helplessly gestured to Qin Wei, while Qin Wei was not too concerned either, and nodded in response.

"Youyou, what are you doing?"

Seeing her keep turning back, Liu Xin lowered her voice and said to her,

"We're livestreaming now, don't you remember? Keep your posture in check, don't embarrass the company."

Youyou apologized and then obediently sat still next to Liu Xin without moving around anymore.

When female celebrities gathered together, some necessary socializing was still required. They would usually start by greeting those sitting nearby, then look around the room for seats with high popularity and initiative to chat, so people gradually increased and it became more lively.

"Haven't seen you for so long, your figure just keeps getting better and better."

"Oh really? You're too kind with your words. I recently watched your new drama, my parents watched it with me too, it was amazing."

"Sister, the new commercial you endorsed was shot so well, I saw the reviews online were also very good. Your skin looks amazing, I'm so envious."

"I'm using the skincare products I endorse. I'll have my agent send you a set in a couple days, try it yourself..."

The room full of women chatted more and more lively.

It was also Qin Wei's first time seeing so many female celebrities, including many who were very famous. She started off listening attentively with an excited heart to hear the gossip, but as she listened on it was just greetings and commercial flattery. She knew it was human nature but still felt it boring to listen too much, so she started spacing out in the corner.

Bullet screens -

【No one is paying attention to her, confirmed entertainment orphan】

【Qin looks so cold haha...is her soul not in the studio?】

【This Lu looks so pathetic and funny】

【Um...does Qin Wei not know this is being livestreamed...which female celeb here wore sneakers, jeans, and a white t-shirt...】

【Oh, just her】

Right then Qin Wei unconsciously bit her index finger.

【Fuck! She really doesn't know this is being livestreamed!!!】

【Smelly Lu don't bite your fingers!!】

【Don't bite your fingers!】

At this moment the screens were filled with bullet screens saying-

【Don't bite your fingers!!】

Qin Wei actually did know it was being livestreamed, but didn't know it would be live the whole time. With so many machines in the conference room and not many people here yet, she was not aware she could be being filmed, and was waiting for herself to get into performance mode after the show started.

She was still in a relaxed state right now.

The female celebrities were chatting animatedly, when they suddenly quieted down. Qin Wei thought it was starting, and turned to look at the door, but saw a slender woman walk in.

She wore sneakers, jeans, and a white t-shirt, with a simple bun hairstyle, just simple makeup. This woman looked clean and fresh. She nodded and smiled at everyone who greeted her.

All the female celebrities actively went to talk to her.

Bullet screens -

【......】

【...】

【Sneakers, jeans, white t-shirt...the one talking about Qin earlier, come look again】

【Qiao Sixiao!!】

【Haha I'm crackling up, the two of them can't be called similarly dressed, only identically dressed. Amongst all these women dressed boldly and extravagantly, the two of them really are...a breath of fresh air】

【But it's so funny specifically because it's these two haha】

Many people in the room also quickly realized this -

Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao, known as "lifelong enemies", were reunited after a long time, and even wore matching outfits!

This woman is Qiao Sixiao?

In her past life, Qin Wei had watched her TV shows before she started going abroad for her semi-closed off trainee life.

She had felt Qiao looked beautiful even on TV at the time. Seeing her in person now, she was even prettier than on TV, and quite tall too.

Her whole demeanor was very elegant, no wonder she was always compared with Qin Wei online.

Previously they were compared in terms of resources and looks, but later when Qin Wei fell from grace, the media rarely compared them. If it was occasionally brought up, it was -

【Shocking, known entertainment industry rivals' current situations: one rising high, one not as glorious as before】

They rarely appeared in the same frame, but there were dozens of pages online about their grudges.

Qin Wei was looking at Qiao Sixiao, and Qiao Sixiao happened to see Qin Wei. Separated by some distance, when their eyes met they were both startled.

The director watched the monitor and told the livestreaming camera,

"Frame the two of them, film just them now!"

Bullet screens -

【Not a still picture】

【Why when I see this scene, the bgm playing in my head is youaremydestiny~】

【Did the program team arrange this? Matching outfits, this is something I can laugh about for a lifetime】

【They wore their own clothes today, and with Qiao Sixiao's status, the program team probably wouldn't dare arrange this for her】

【You personally pushed me into the abyss of misery, where I suffered endless torment. I, Qin Wei, swear every act will be repaid upon you. Today I have climbed over mountains of corpses and seas of blood to arrive before you again. Qiao Sixiao, are you ready?】

【The one above, I'm lending you my pen! If you don't finish writing tonight I'm coming to knock on your window!】

【Are there fanfics about them already? Has some great author written it? I want to ship...】

【Current State of Contemporary Shipping Scholars】

...

Qiao Sixiao looked at Qin Wei, probably staring for about 5 seconds. From experience, at a gathering place for female celebrities like this, even just walking the red carpet, everyone would dress up carefully to try to be the focus.

This experience had proven true time and again, without fail.

But Qiao Sixiao wanted to go against convention this time.

In the company dressing room, her assistant brought designer couture customized for her. Qiao Sixiao didn't seem very interested, and turned to the stylist saying:

"The show I'm participating in has a viewer voting segment. Although I have a lot of fans and high popularity, I want to do even better."

The stylist asked her,

"Is this outfit not high-end enough? I have another one prepared, take a look?"

Qiao Sixiao shook her head:

"The more high-end, the more distant I feel. What I want isn't just first place, but also the final Most Popular award, which is netizens voting under their real names. To earn their affection, I need to be down-to-earth, but not tacky."

And so she had today's outfit, clean and fresh, like a female classmate sitting next to you, or an intern you happened to run into outside the company entrance, simple yet innocent.

When she first walked in, Qiao Sixiao couldn't help laughing. As far as she could see, all the female celebrities were dressed in high-end brands, with very elegant makeup. This instead highlighted her otherworldly style.

Until she saw Qin Wei.
