Chapter 722 - 711: The Male Supporting Character’s Bai Yueguang
Ye Qiu wrapped her arms around Su Sui, forcing him to calm down. In the quiet restaurant, the two could even hear each other’s heartbeat.
"You will regret this." After a long while, Su Sui whispered into Ye Qiu’s ear.
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly: "I won’t. Promise me, no matter what happens we’ll face it together, and you won’t let yourself overthink."
After a long time, Su Sui quietly made his promise: "I promise you, I will never hurt you."
"Mhmm, I believe you."
The next day, when Jiang Yao and Chu Weiwei saw Ye Qiu and Su Sui again, they clearly felt that there was much more an ambiguous air between the two. Chu Weiwei sent them a well-meaning glance, while Jiang Yao felt somewhat disheartened. Even Su Sui, with his smaller EQ and inferior strategies, had managed to win over a beauty. Why couldn’t he himself touch Wei Yi’s heart?
The film "Immortal Palace" proceeded with orderly shooting, and at the same time, the reality show "Floral Years" had aired its third episode.
"Visiting the set? Wouldn’t Ye Qiu and Chu Weiwei end up fighting?"
"Did the person above forget that last week Ye Qiu and Chu Weiwei went to the internet café to play games together?"
"Kind of curious about how they went from enemies to friends."
"Same question."
"But after watching two episodes, I really found out that Chu Weiwei is incredibly diligent and hardworking, truly the embodiment of a new generation Goddess of perseverance."
"Is it just me who’s a fan of Ye Qiu? Her looks, that skin, it’s just perfect, daring to appear on screen even without makeup, and her personality isn’t as overbearing as reported in the news, just a bit spoiled and confident – think about it, an Eldest Lady who’s not only a gaming expert but also can cook, she’s really not useless, right?"
"Fan here as well, Ye Qiu is just straightforward. When you see her triumph in a game with that proud and tsundere expression, it’s just too cute."
"I still like Chu Weiwei better, I mean, her acting has become the benchmark for young actresses, way better than that child star turned actress."
"Don’t start throwing shade at our Wei Yi, she’s unique and incomparable to anyone else."
However, even if netizens were being reasonable now, trying not to provoke others, some comments, when heard by certain people, felt uncomfortable, especially when the news about her was only mentioned in comparison to someone else.
"Argh!" Cao Miaomiao angrily swept all the makeup products off the table, "It’s always Chu Weiwei and Ye Qiu being praised. Isn’t it a reality show with four people? Why only the two of them?"
"Miaomiao, everyone still likes you, don’t take online comments too seriously. We’ll do well in the next few episodes, then choose a good script, and the audience’s good impression of you will return," her agent comforted.
However, Cao Miaomiao just couldn’t hear it, her sense of security was very agitated: "Do well, do well, all you know is telling me to perform well, but you’ve seen those two – every episode brings a new topic. How can I attract people’s attention?"
"What’s the rush? You’ve been working hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, your network can’t be compared to theirs. Isn’t the next episode about your gathering with those veteran artists from the circle? It’s bound to trend. The crew will be here soon, you’re going to see Li Xingzi’s performance, perk up, and don’t let people see anything’s amiss."
Comforted by the agent, Cao Miaomiao managed to calm down somewhat, but the jealousy in her eyes didn’t fade.
"Sister Wang, I want to hire a Water Army."
"What are you planning to do?" Agent Sister Wang frowned.
"Ye Qiu and Chu Weiwei are quite the hot topic, right? Let them stay that way, if they like trending on social media so much, let them be on it every day."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Sister Wang’s eyes: "That’s a good idea. On the surface, we praise them to the skies. When netizens realize that they are constantly being bombarded with their presence online, they’ll naturally get tired of it."
Meanwhile, Li Xingzi, who was waiting for the production team to film, had already changed into her outfit. She had a commercial performance at the mall later, and as per the arrangement with Cao Miaomiao, they would have a chance encounter there. Amongst the four, her popularity was the lowest, and she was determined not to lose this time.
"Sister Xingzi, are you really not going to wear the outfit arranged by the Shang Family for the performance?" The little assistant asked worriedly, "Won’t the sponsor be upset?"
"You worry about the wrong things. The Shang Family hired me to perform as a publicity stunt. Isn’t wearing this getup more likely to generate publicity? What do you know, isn’t this how everyone dresses for concerts?"
But a concert is different from a mall performance! With so many passersby and children around, wearing something too revealing isn’t quite appropriate! And with Cao Miaomiao’s upcoming ’chance encounter’, wouldn’t taking all the attention for herself be problematic?
However, such thoughts the little assistant dared only keep to herself and wouldn’t dare express in front of Li Xingzi. After all, she had already decided to resign, not willing to be scolded for Li Xingzi’s foolish moves.
Cao Miaomiao is currently in the midst of transitioning her image. To avoid netizens seeing her as the cute girl next door from yesteryears, she specially dressed up maturely today, wearing a bright red dress and bright red lipstick. She looked like the girl next door who had blossomed into a young woman, even Agent Sister Wang nodded in satisfaction.
But when she entered the mall and saw Li Xingzi performing on stage, she froze.
Li Xingzi on stage was wearing a tube top, its fullness swaying boldly with her dance moves; her lower half clad in ultra-short denim shorts, revealing half of her buttocks, but her legs looked exceptionally slender.
Facing such a seductive Li Xingzi, her own makeup seemed like a joke. But since the crew had been filming for half a day already, it was too late for her to change her look.
"No worries. See those kids being shielded by their parents? We’ll just guide public opinion a bit, and netizens will lean towards your side," Agent Sister Wang whispered to Cao Miaomiao.
Cao Miaomiao took a deep breath and realized she had no other choice. Maybe her styling would be criticized by netizens, but Li Xingzi, who performed in inappropriate attire for a toy manufacturer’s event in the presence of the public, would be more likely to be criticized, right?
However, Li Xingzi was blissfully unaware, quite satisfied with the effect she had made.
So what if people criticize me? After this storm passes, at least I’ll be remembered, and I don’t believe I’ll be left out of any similar future promotions. Over time, more people will recognize me.
By then, if everyone only remembers my beautiful legs, who will care about the original clothing controversy? And I can always push the blame onto the manufacturer, saying it was their choice.
When Cao Miaomiao and Li Xingzi met, both had excited looks on their faces, but their smiles were somewhat stiff.
Especially Cao Miaomiao, watching Li Xingzi, who was half a head taller and had her hand on her shoulder, felt like her rage was about to burst forth uncontrollably.
