My Life with Narration

Chapter 520 - 511: Another Turning Point

When it came to Shen Yi, Tang Nan, this long-time girlfriend, knew her even better than Su Qing, the boyfriend.

But she underestimated Shen Yi’s determination to save face.

If only Su He were home today, she’d definitely sleep in a separate room from Su Qing, but she’d inevitably sneak over in the middle of the night.

However, with Tang Nan acting like a massive third wheel, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Having gotten used to sleeping together with Shen Yi, surprisingly, it took her until past 1 a.m. to finally fall asleep tonight.

Su Qing, on the other hand, was much more composed. Even though he had nothing to hold in his arms, he fell asleep without any issues, though he never expected there was an ’intruder’ in the house.

He didn’t know what time it was when he felt someone nudging him.

"Wake up, bro, wake up!"

In a daze, he saw a silhouette holding a phone flashlight and talking to him, but since the person called him "bro," it had to be Su He for sure.

He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

"Two thirty in the morning!"

Su Qing: ...

"What are you waking me up at two thirty for? Something up?"

"Yeah, get up and go back to sleep!"

Su Qing: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Seeing he was fully awake, Su He turned around and ran. While running, she lowered her voice and said, "Nan bro, hurry up, my sister-in-law isn’t here!"

"Wow, Xiao Yi’s grown some guts!"

Hearing their messy footsteps, if it weren’t for his eyes being really sore and the late night possibly disturbing neighbors, he would have gone out to teach those two a lesson.

What a pointless nuisance. Who hears of "get up and go back to sleep"? No doubt, it’s a ploy by Tang Nan.

The reason Tang Nan brought Su He along was purely because her identity didn’t suit visiting her friend’s boyfriend’s room in the middle of the night — it would be rather creepy, or rather, too creepy.

However, Su He, as a sibling and sister-in-law, perfectly suited the scenario.

Eventually, his body’s exhaustion overcame his anger, and he decided to let the two off for now, planning to deal with them in the morning.

The next morning, he came out of his room at ten thirty, rubbing his eyes. Only Tang Nan was there, listlessly lounging on the sofa, playing with her phone.

"So Xiao Yi didn’t visit your room last night either. How did you end up so worn out? Look at you, anyone would think Xiao Yi drained you dry if they didn’t know better."

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her: "Why I got up so late, do you honestly have no clue?"

While speaking, he suddenly noticed Tang Nan wasn’t dressed in home clothes but fully dressed to go out.

"You... went out already?"

"Isn’t it obvious? It’s just you and me at home now. So, any thoughts on me?" Tang Nan suddenly sat up, flipping her hair and giving him a playful wink.

On seeing this, he took out his phone and sent a voice message to Shen Yi in front of Tang Nan: "Bao’Er, Nan bro’s asking if I have any thoughts on her and even winked at me."

Tang Nan: ...

"You... can’t take a joke, huh?"

"Not at all, just consulting my girlfriend."

The next second, as the phone beeped, he clicked on Shen Yi’s returned voice message: "Next time, remember to record it, and make sure the home cameras are on!"

"Look, Xiao Yi wants me to record it."

"You two... really are... birds of a feather!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Tang Nan was impressed, noticing how in sync they were and how they often teamed up to tease her, just to bully her for being single, it seemed. So shameless.

"By the way, where’s Su He?" After wandering around, he suddenly noticed Su He was gone — something just felt missing.

Tang Nan didn’t even feel like bothering anymore. What sort of brother doesn’t notice his sister went missing? No wonder these two siblings bicker whenever they meet.

"She had class in the morning. I took her shopping early and dropped her back, so transfer me 100,000, okay?"

"100,000? Let me see the receipt!"

"You’re... not being fun, are you? You don’t trust me!"

"Well, actually, I don’t trust you."

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask for it. Consider it a gift to your sister, okay? You and Xiao Yi really are family, so stingy despite being wealthy. You weren’t like this before you made money. Why so tight now?"

"How dare you say that? Tell me, last time with those stocks, how much did you make?"

At this, Tang Nan gave a sheepish smile. She’d invested five million at the time and, though she withdrew in batches, she did make some money, at least several hundred thousand, though she wasn’t the biggest earner.

"Well, let’s move on from that, tidy up, I’ve got plans with friends, and we’ll head out at noon."

"Alright, where to?"

"My friends, of course, are people from the entertainment industry. At Capital Film and Television City, lots of crews are shooting there, I’ve loads of friends filming over there."

Hearing this piqued Su Qing’s interest: "Can I be an extra?"

"You? An extra? What for? Are you nuts? You’re not short on money, are you? Are you seriously thinking of entering the entertainment industry? Let me tell you, even though you look decent, the sets are full of handsome guys and pretty girls, especially the men are a dime a dozen. Your friend got noticed directly by a director, otherwise, I might not have made it."

Su Qing chuckled a bit bashfully. Truth be told, he did have this in mind, not for the money but because he’d heard of many who became stars after being noticed by directors while playing minor roles, and he’d read plenty of stories like that in entertainment novels.

With a voiceover in mind, the odds should be better, right?

Seeing that look on his face, Tang Nan widened her eyes: "No way, do you really have that in mind?"

Then she pondered, sizing him up while stroking her chin, nodding: "Your looks aren’t bad, plus you’ve got some online fame yourself. If I get involved, aside from big roles, I could definitely get you a speaking part. Perfect timing, among the people we’re meeting today, we’ve got directors and actors. If you really want to, your sister here can help you out. How about it, want to join the entertainment industry with me?"

With Tang Nan getting more and more excited, and not just for any reason, if she could hook her friend’s boyfriend into acting, that would be quite something.

A young billionaire successfully breaks into the entertainment industry. Exciting, just thinking about it.

"Uh... I was just talking casually, don’t take it seriously!"

"Come on, I think the idea’s great, really bold!"

[The entertainment industry is one of the fastest places to make money and could become another turning point in your life, choose wisely.]

Su Qing: ???

Seriously, there’s actually something like this? The voiceover hasn’t popped up for a bit, didn’t expect it here, so what, does he really have to enter the entertainment industry? Wait, this isn’t some parallel world where rebirth novels are known, what do we do then?

Meanwhile, in Shen Yi’s office, an older man with a rounded figure, dressed in a formal suit, had just arrived.

"Hello, President Shen. The pleasure of meeting you in person truly lives up to your reputation, young and promising, indeed!"

"Hello, President Zhou, please, have a seat!"

When Zhou Qingde reached out for a handshake, Shen Yi instinctively chose to ignore it, directly offering him a seat instead.

Zhou Qingde felt a bit awkward, but considering the purpose of his visit, he let it slide.

"What’s the purpose of your visit today, President Zhou?" Shen Yi asked straightforwardly.

"Well, I heard Vice President Hu from our company had some unpleasant interaction with your company, so I came to check it out."

Shen Yi: "Nope, I’m quite happy!"

Zhou Qingde: ...
