After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 183 Unlocking the "i" Gene Fragment

Shen Chaohuai opened the car door and let her in, without saying a word the whole time.

Halfway through the journey, Su Qi asked him a question: "Do you know what 'like' means?"

Shen Chaohuai's expression brightened, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, and looked at her meaningfully.

She awaited his answer, but Shen Chaohuai shook his head.

He asked, "Are you still thinking about him?"

"That man captivated you with every word he uttered. No wonder you were so kind as to suddenly help him; it turns out it was because..."

"Hey, you can't say that. I made mistakes at the beginning too, and I'm just making up for them." Su Qi crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Well, you'd better just make amends." There was a strong hint of bitterness in his voice.

The two paused for a moment, and then Su Qi thought of something: "Everyone says he likes me, but I... don't know what it feels like to like someone, so I've let him down."

Hearing this, Shen Chaohuai felt inexplicably nervous: "Let him down? You don't need to respond to him, so how can you say you've let him down?"

Shen Chaohuai paused for a moment: "Liking is a personal matter. If others don't like it, they don't have to respond."

Su Qi's lips moved slightly: "But I...didn't say I didn't like it..."

He slammed on the brakes: "Can you...stop dwelling on this all the time!"

Seeing that Shen Chaohuai was getting agitated, Su Qi helplessly shrugged, wondering how he had offended him.

The car restarted, and in an instant, Su Qi suddenly felt a headache.

She covered her head with her hands, and Shen Chaohuai turned to look at her, then turned his gaze to the road ahead.

Before he noticed her unusual behavior, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his voice weakened: "If you like him, it's not a bad idea to keep him by your side."

"Given your status, having three wives and four concubines... is quite normal."

"After all, having more children makes it easier to raise future kings."

She did not respond to him.

"Huh? Speak? What's wrong..." Shen Chaohuai turned around and realized that she had already fainted.

He quickly stopped the car and pulled her into his arms: "Xiao Qi!"

He reached out, and with the touch of a deep purple electric current, some of the genetic chains in her body were unlocked.

Shen Chaohuai stroked her again in disbelief, until he was completely certain that the "i" gene of her emotions had been released.

He couldn't say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. In the past, when he was training in the Empire, his training method was to make the soldiers of the Empire abandon the "i" gene.

Su Qi was no exception; as a future monarch, he absolutely could not be bound by romantic love.

In fact, Shen Chaohuai was secretly pleased.

If she understands what love is, she will have a greater chance of discovering his affection for her.

He didn't know what to do.

After being dropped off at Su Qi's villa and stopped for ten minutes, she regained consciousness.

"woke up?"

Su Qi rubbed his temples and sat up slightly, only to find himself lying in the back seat.

Shen Chaohuai did not turn around to look at her.

"Go back as soon as you wake up."

"I remember you said something about having three wives and four concubines... and having several children..." Su Qi looked at him in confusion.

"I... I was just talking nonsense." Shen Chaohuai pretended nothing had happened and coughed lightly to cover it up.

He pushed her to the doorway.

"Wait a minute, I dropped my cigarette pack."

He turned around and went back to the car to find a cigarette box for her. When he found it, he threw it into her arms and stepped on the gas.

Watching him leave, Su Qi scratched his head in confusion: "What was wrong with him just now? I was just asking him nicely, why was he in such a hurry?"

……

【Master, I must remind you now that you can start grinding for stats.】

Feifei reminded her.

Su Qi paused, her hand still holding the glass. "Is it that new function that the system just awakened?"

[Yes, isn't it said that reaching 20 national followers is difficult? Retention events and metrics, positive fan feedback, and new followers gained won't disappear.]

"This ability is just too overpowered."

[Hehe, thanks to Master's efforts, Feifei is now full of energy!]

Su Qi shook his head helplessly and called Lynn: "Have you gotten me any gigs lately?"

Lynn rolled her eyes: "You helped Gu Xing, and this storm hasn't even passed yet. I'm helping you deal with the scandals and public opinion."

"Because of these things, no director dares to ask me to give you gigs. It's still having some impact. Let's deal with this first."

Su Qi paused, then said, "I'm in a real hurry right now."

"What's your rush?! Your opponents are either in jail or have their careers ruined, each one more disastrous than the last. Don't worry, your future is bright and clear."

"..."

"If all else fails, you can go and accept it yourself. Anyway, if you want to get into a good production team, you have to deal with the scandals first."

"You'll end up working on bad productions, which will damage your reputation. I'm afraid of you."

Su Qi shook his head: "Are there any scandals left to deal with? I'll handle it."

"Do you even understand how to play the female celebrity game? You might as well go to sleep."

Lynn hung up the phone immediately.

What agent would dare to be so arrogant?

Su Qi sighed softly: "If you're going to accept the gigs, then accept them yourself."

She arrived near the largest film and television city in the port city. As soon as she got out of the car and took off her sunglasses, a group of people came up to greet her.

"Isn't this Miss Su? You dare to come out alone without your staff around?"

Su Qi walked towards the entrance, and people kept turning back to look.

Things are different now. Su Qi is somewhat famous, and many people recognize her when she walks down the street. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be allowed to go out freely. Even if she does go out, she must be accompanied by staff or bodyguards.

However, Su Qi didn't have the money to hire bodyguards, and Tianhai didn't provide her with enough staff, so going out alone had become the norm.

At that time, only a few short dramas and small film crews were shooting at the film studio.

[Master, this level of announcement can only boost national popularity by around 100 points at a time. Even if you could do it repeatedly, it would be too difficult to increase it further.]

An artist in the small film crew saw Su Qi and quickly went up to greet her. But after only half a second, her expression changed drastically.

Su Qi didn't remember her name, but she heard her say in a provocative tone, "You're already famous, why are you still filming short dramas? It's clear your agency doesn't value you much."

[Information search in progress...]

Xu Qingyi, a third-tier actress, transitioned from film and television to short dramas.

[The reason for the career change was allegedly due to a character's passive work attitude in the drama, refusing to memorize lines, which led the director to hire voice actors for the entire series.]

After listening to the system's announcement, Su Qi simply smiled at the other party: "With my abilities, I can choose whatever role I want to play myself. You're different; you have to wait for others to choose you."

Xu Qingyi: "Heh, at least I'm still a third-tier artist, and you haven't even made it to the third tier yet, have you? You've managed to become a potential artist, but you're still a long way off."

Su Qi ignored him and went to the director in the same production crew as her. The director said there was a lead role available for her.

Xu Qing knew that her leading role was in jeopardy, but instead of fighting for it, she generously told the director that she wanted to play the second female lead.

Su Qi was busy grooming her fingernails, looking on dismissively, and continued memorizing her script by herself.

Xu Qing also took the opportunity to mock: "What's the use of memorizing a script? It's better to have a powerful background."

"Besides, it's just a short drama. I don't believe you can gain hundreds of thousands of followers overnight after it's filmed and aired."

Su Qi looked up and smiled: "Hmm...we can make a bet. If I succeed, you will publicly reveal your previous negative work attitude."
