Chapter 145 Ugly Duckling Substitute vs. A Ruthless and Ruthless CEO (68)
He Suining sighed.
Qin Shen quickly turned around and looked at her.
She smiled helplessly at him, her tone full of indulgent affection for his little tantrum, "Qin Shen, didn't we agree before? You can't interfere with my actions. Think about it, if I want to make it in the entertainment industry, I definitely need to build my own network."
She paused for a moment.
Qin Shen had already turned his head back, but his slightly tilted body indicated that he was listening attentively.
He Suining almost laughed.
That jerk of a man can be kind of cute sometimes.
“Qi Su took the initiative to befriend me. His piano tour can help me gain fame and popularity, so why should I refuse?”
It seems to make sense.
Qin Shenggang thought this, but then he remembered the man named Qi Su who had looked at him with such tenderness in his eyes.
His face darkened.
It was as if some treasure had been coveted by someone else.
And this precious gem, it's still bouncing around, trying to run away to someone else.
How could he not be angry?
This jewel is so clueless!
"If you want to hold a concert or any piano tour, I can arrange it for you right away." Qin Shen's tone sounded as casual as if he had eaten something that day, a bit arrogant.
But He Suining knew he could do it.
Emperor Star Entertainment is the largest company in the entertainment industry, and there are basically no competitors that can rival it.
After all, the male lead hasn't made his move yet.
But He Suining had many thoughts on her mind.
She shook her head, and under Qin Shen's increasingly dark expression as she refused, she calmly said, "Of course it would be great if you could help me, but I can't rely on you for everything. I need to have my own network of connections and my own career."
There was one thing she didn't say.
If the two of them get divorced in the future, she will rely entirely on Qin Shen, and she will have nothing left once she steps out of the house.
That's practically starting from scratch.
Looking at Qin Shen's perfect profile, He Suining asked, "Do you need me to be a pretty face?"
What's wrong with a vase?
Beautiful and exquisite.
He takes meticulous care of himself every day.
Qin Shen pursed his thin lips, intending to say these words.
But then I thought about it.
He probably didn't want to hear what he said, so he swallowed it back down.
In the past, he would have said whatever he wanted.
Now, however, he's starting to care about He Suining's thoughts.
Hey.
No one told him that getting married and having multiple wives was so difficult.
But why does he seem to enjoy it so much?
It's so weird.
The two couldn't reach an agreement in the car.
Assistant Kong drove quickly and steadily, soon entering the villa community and arriving at Villa No. 1, which belonged to Qin Shen.
After getting off the car.
He Suining went upstairs to her room and checked the online comments on her phone.
Dixing Entertainment resolved the issue quickly.
The matter was not allowed to escalate.
They immediately issued a lawyer's letter to [I'm not a hater], which scared her into deleting the post.
Then I posted another message.
I'm not a hater:
No way, I was just kidding, is that illegal? @DiXingEntertainment
I'm just an ordinary citizen, where would I get so much money for compensation? Please spare me.
Also, I didn't take the picture.
[Who sent you this? Tell me!]
[Heh, they took money to smear Little Nightingale, didn't they? They just don't dare say it out loud.]
[It couldn't be Zhong Yiqiao, could it?]
[To the person who mentioned Zhong Yiqiao, I suggest you delete this post as soon as possible; that's spreading rumors.]
He Suining looked through the pages and discovered that she was quite popular.
Before Dixing Entertainment came out, several people actually spoke up for her.
Qi Su was the first to be affected.
Qi Su V:
I hereby solemnly warn those who spread rumors about my relationship with Xiaobailing: delete such comments immediately, or I will take legal action.
I admire Little Nightingale's singing voice, like her personality and character, and would like to be her friend.
Little Nightingale and I may have more surprises for you later, so please look forward to them.
As for the photo, it's actually just a forced perspective.
I met Xiao Bailing by chance in the music room. She plays the piano very well, so we chatted for a bit.
Unexpectedly, someone took a picture of it, and judging from the angle, it was either a staff member or a contestant.
[I'm starting to ship them, bro.]
[No way! Little Nightingale is already married. My favorite couple is destined for a bad ending.]
[You can ship their friendship!]
[What a load of rubbish! Can't you ship couples get lost? You're everywhere!]
[Brother, I love you.]
[Husband~]
Several people then forwarded Qi SuVB's post.
Xia Luo, Qiao Yue, Yuan Ying (who changed her real name), and actress Zhao Shuxue all helped to share this post.
So much so that many onlookers thought He Suining must be very popular.
He Suining opened her VB account and was truly surprised to find that her followers had grown to over a million.
Don't underestimate this million or so.
Ignoring the platform's unethical practices, feeding her fake followers would definitely have increased her follower count significantly.
Take Yuan Ying as an example.
She has gained followers, but so far she has barely broken 100,000.
The show hasn't aired completely yet, but it's estimated that He Suining's popularity will rise again once it airs.
She forwarded the posts from other people who helped forward them and replied with a thank you.
The fans below were like the concubines in the palace waiting for the emperor, excitedly shouting.
[Sister, sister~~]
[I'm a current viewer, I really like you lalalala! When will you sing for us on a live stream?]
[?(′???`?)]
[Hehe, maybe she's really ugly.]
Of course, where there are fans, there will be haters.
He Suining wondered why she had so many haters so quickly, but considering the recent buzz and the things that were about to happen, it was normal to have them.
The anti-fans are not a significant force.
The front row was quickly filled with photos of the word "older sister".
She nodded in satisfaction and was about to close the window when she refreshed the page and saw that the top comment had changed from "sister" to "wife".
It doesn't matter.
The problem is, why does this account name look so familiar?
Moreover, the number of likes instantly surged ahead, followed by numerous replies.
Mo Yu Long Zun V:
[Wife, let's kiss.]
Reply and click to open.
[I thought I was seeing things, but when I clicked on it, I was shocked!]
[I remember this cringeworthy name trending online; last time people were saying which idiot chose it. Turns out it's my dad.]
[Dad! I'm your long-lost daughter~~]
With trembling hands, He Suining clicked on this person's VB.
I had a bad feeling about it.
This person's profile reads: [Qin Shen, President of Dixing Entertainment. Please contact staff if needed.]
Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
The person with that chuunibyou-sounding name is actually Qin Shen.
After a sudden scream in my heart.
He Suining couldn't help but reply to him again.
Little Nightingale @ Ink Feather Dragon Lord: [Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
Then all the fans below started laughing.
For a moment, I didn't even recognize the word "hahaha".
the other side.
Qin Shen waited anxiously in his bedroom, holding his phone.
After a few seconds, he saw He Suining reply to him.
His anxiety finally subsided.
It's alright, I replied to him.
She didn't seem that angry.
Since she's not angry, he, as her man, can't really be angry either.
Forget it.
Why bother arguing with a kitten, even though it always scratches him?
The online public opinion seemed to have been easily resolved.
Netizens, who love a good spectacle, have divided themselves into three camps.
One is a shipper of Qi Su and Xiao Bailing.
The other one is shipping Qin Shen and He Suining.
Another group was simply there to join in the fun, wanting to see how Zhong Yiqiao and the police would respond to the recent events.
Despite being embroiled in controversy, He Suining was unaffected; on the contrary, her fan base grew, and her popularity rivaled that of recently trending celebrities.
In an instant, many advertisers saw a direction for investment.
He Suining herself has not signed a contract yet, but the first contract she could have signed with Dixing Entertainment was already set, so she certainly wouldn't settle for second best.
So soon, a woman claiming to be a manager from Dixing Entertainment contacted Li Xi.
Tell her to come to the company the next day for a detailed discussion.
A busy day is over.
He Suining took a shower, ate something downstairs, and went back to her room to sleep.
She is very happy.
But Zhong Yiqiao wasn't very happy.
Bang bang bang.
In the bedroom, Zhong Yiqiao smashed everything she could find.
Where was the demeanor of a well-bred young lady? Her hair was all messed up, and she looked like a madwoman.
dong dong.
There was a knock on the door, followed by Zhong's mother's timid voice, "Honey, why don't you come out and have some food first?"
"I will not eat."
Zhong Yiqiao refused firmly.
However, Zhong's mother could still hear a hint of sobs in her voice; she felt heartbroken but there was nothing she could do.
She put the silver plate containing the food on the ground and knocked on the door again. "Mom has put all the food on the ground for you. If you're hungry, take it in and eat. If it's been a long time, don't eat it anymore. Go downstairs and ask the chef to cook it for you."
There was no sound.
Mother Zhong wiped her eyes, turned around and left.
Zhong Yiqiao slumped down on the beanbag chair next to her, the soft texture feeling like sitting on a ball of cotton.
In the past, when she was under a lot of pressure, she loved to lie on it, which could quickly relieve her stress.
But now, she's really angry.
I was so angry that I felt like my lungs were going to explode, my heart was racing, and I could hear my own heart pounding.
She took several deep breaths to get her heartbeat back to normal.
I took out my phone and checked it.
The more I read the online comments, the angrier I got.
"How could that be? Why not condemn He Suining? She clearly did something wrong."
Zhong Yiqiao has always suspected that the "accident" that happened to her was actually a conspiracy between He Suining and that Yuan Ying to harm her.
I've been tricked.
hum.
Just then, an unknown number called.
She answered the phone strangely, her voice as gentle as ever—a habit she'd cultivated over the years, one she couldn't easily break, except when facing her parents. "Hello, who is this?"
At the entrance of the Zhong family's house.
A suspicious-looking car was parked there.
Yuan Ying deliberately stopped here and secretly glanced at the security camera in the villa community.
She wasn't supposed to get in, but the security guard recognized her and knew that she and Zhong Yiqiao were in the same competition, so he automatically assumed that the two had a relationship.
After registering her, I let her in.
This took Yuan Ying's original plan to an even higher level.
She bit her lip as she listened to Zhong Yiqiao's gentle voice on the phone.
I remembered what the little lark had said.
The police recently contacted her again and asked her a few questions. She had a bad feeling, so she came here. "Hello, Ms. Zhong, it's me, Yuan Ying!"
"Yuan Ying!"
Zhong Yiqiao sat up abruptly from the beanbag chair. "What do you want? Haven't you made me miserable enough?"
Yuan Ying took a few deep breaths.
Clench your fist and press it against your chest, repeatedly telling yourself not to be nervous, not to be shy, not to be afraid, otherwise you won't be able to do anything.
She has now received her first payment for the contract.
The hospital fees have already been paid, and there's even some left over that can last for several more months.
She doesn't need to worry for now.
"Miss Zhong, don't you want to know what happened last time? I'm right outside your door. Come out and see me, okay?"
Zhong Yiqiao stood on the balcony and looked outside. Sure enough, she saw a dilapidated car that was unlikely to be in the villa area.
She nodded in agreement with Yuan Ying.
Then I immediately called the property management and gently persuaded the security guard to leave.
He then hung up the phone.
Since the security guards aren't doing their jobs well, she doesn't mind replacing them with someone else.
Yuan Ying had no idea that this casual little incident would ruin an ordinary person's job.
She sat silently in the car.
He put the phone he had just hung up into his bag and rubbed the carrot-shaped hair clip in his hands.
This hair clip is quite cute; from the outside, it looks like an ordinary hair clip that costs only a few dollars.
It was actually a recorder.
pat.
The sound of high heels clicking on the floor came from outside the door. She looked over and saw Zhong Yiqiao's quiet figure.
Yuan Ying quickly pressed the hair clip down and then secured it to the stray hairs on her forehead.
*
He Suining and Qin Shen seem to be in a cold war.
Why do I say "seems"?
Qin Shen made her breakfast as usual the next day, but didn't eat with her; he went to work very early.
When I came back at noon, it was exactly the same as in the morning.
During the meal, aside from staring at her for about ten seconds without saying a word, I ate in silence the rest of the time.
Even the broken pieces are incomprehensible to me.
The host is suspected of causing trouble: [My dear Ning, I checked the human data and found that this behavior is called... Why are you trying to ruin your relationship? It was progressing so smoothly so far.]
He Suining nodded in agreement, "It's going very smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, I estimate that I'll be spending my whole life with Qin Shen like this, and that's definitely what he's planning to do too."
[Yeah, yeah.] The chubby little thing, with its head and no neck, nods, [So why are you giving the big villain the silent treatment?]
“Because I don’t like it this way.” He Suining rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the sunset outside the window, lost in thought and reminiscing—before entering the system, she had never been in a relationship.
She swore an oath before God to be loyal to the Queen for the rest of her life.
But in reality, she ultimately died at the hands of the queen she loved and respected most.
How pathetic.
In her heart, love was a luxury. She couldn't have it before, because a knight belonged to the queen for life.
Later, I entered the system.
She seemed to have had a vague relationship before, but she couldn't remember. But that didn't matter; what mattered was now.
She never changed her mind that love was a luxury.
She longs for a love where "I like you, and you like me," a love where we both understand each other, rather than one that's ambiguous and uncertain.
