The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 164

The chat in the live stream room was proceeding politely and happily when the door opened and Youyou and Shen Qingqing returned.

Qin Wei politely declined having hot pot together since she was about to start her livestream, which made her excuse seem even more valid.

When Youyou saw Qin Wei, she would unreservedly reveal a smile and bring over a box of pudding for her, "Caramel pudding. I got it especially for big sister!"

Qin Wei happily accepted it.

Shen Qingqing, who was next to them, didn't say anything but greatly approved of her classmate's behavior.

What Youyou was doing was exactly what Shen Qingqing wanted - eating in front of the livestream camera with Qin Wei, who definitely wouldn't reject it since she had a foodie image to maintain.

But with such high calories, would she really want to eat it?

She definitely wouldn't want to. Which female celebrity would eat stuff like this in private? Even most of the male celebrities she had worked with were very careful about their diet.

Comments:

[Qin Wei, Shen Qingqing is here!]

[Shen Qingqing! They live together! Feels like the beginning of spring this year. Speaking of which, she and Lyu E were roommates for two days.]

[I feel bad for Qin Wei. She previously sold a candle to someone at original price and even promised an 20% discount. But it turned out to be 3,500 yuan.]

[Qin Wei the black-hearted businesswoman]

[Qin Wei run away quick, we'll cover for you!]

[How funny. They are all female celebrities with high incomes. Which one of them would truly care about a measly 1,800 yuan? Besides, buying things is consensual. Back then when Qin Wei said she would resell it to her, she didn't object. Would someone like Shen Qingqing really be so petty? It's been a long time, do you still remember that bit of money? Please stop stirring things up...]

[Just joking around?]

[I know, but I just can't stand it. Shouldn't everything be reasonable? Besides, no one said anything good about the rumormongers and rich businessmen when Qin Wei was accused of cheating. And Anxing Entertainment already sent lawyer letters but Anxing has too few followers, not many people saw it.]

[What do you expect then? When you see online rumors, do you want Lyu E to sit here and get angry on livestream? Then ask fans to fight with the antis?]

[Replying to previous person! I don't want the atmosphere to be oppressive. I just can't stand how Qin Wei always acts like nothing happened! She has endorsements, fans and an entertainment company backing her now! Can she be more assertive towards others!]

[I give up. My sister and Shen Qingqing are adults. Do they have to physically fight when unhappy? Other than deep enmity, who would tear their face in public? I'm in junior high and even I know to try to avoid people you dislike. What else?]

[If you wanna see satisfying exposes, you can check out Dragon King's Unwanted Son-in-law on Tiktok...nonstop face-slapping, super satisfying.]

[If you're a passerby, say whatever you want, there's no lack of people scolding her online. But if you're a Qin Wei fan, please shut up. It's been said many times in the fan club - Qin Wei fans protect Qin Wei but don't interfere with her thoughts. You always want her to change, why not go follow another celebrity more to your taste...]

...

Over here, Qin Wei had just finished thanking Youyou for the pudding and hadn’t even spoken to Shen Qingqing yet when she saw many barrage comments floating by. Since their platform has virtually no limit on number of characters, the entire screen was filled with paragraphs.

In just half a minute of not looking at the screen, how did they start fighting?

Because there were so many words, overlapping comments filled the entire screen so she couldn't understand what they were arguing about at all. One comment hadn't finished reading before being covered by another.

Qin Wei figured out why most platforms must limit number of characters in comments - otherwise this real-time information exchange method would not facilitate efficient communication at all. Instead, no content could be seen.

She could only see a few shortest comments among the flooded screen:

[Go watch Dragon King's Unwanted Son-in-law]

What is that?

"Sister Wei, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Shen Qingqing said as she walked towards Qin Wei.

Qin Wei nodded:

"Of course I remember, Miss Shen, long time no see."

Shen Qingqing smiled and took a glance at the screen. At this moment, the fans in the livestream room quieted down, the bickering comments had floated away.

"Livestreaming?"

Shen Qingqing took a look at the camera then waved her hand,

"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Qingqing."

After greeting them, Shen Qingqing went back to sit next to Qin Wei. By then, Qin Wei had already finished the pudding. Shen Qingqing was stunned for a bit before resuming her sweet smile.

"Sister, it's too distant calling me Miss Shen when we were former roommates. Please call me Qingqing!"

Comments:

[Qingqing, no free shipping there!]

[How is the person above sending voice messages? That accent?]

[You're too polite! What Qingqing? Should be called little green tea!]

[What's the joke here?]

[Let me recap for everyone: this lady is harmless to humans and animals but is actually very capable. She went on a variety show and got a endorsement from G brand when even their current and former endorsers were there. How many people can pull that off?]

[Plus she roomed with my sister who had nothing back then, timid and dumb. She could only take it.]

[Isn't it different now?]

[Way better now! Little Qiao taught her so she's not dumb anymore, just timid.]

[Not too timid...also has my Qiao backing her up hahaha]

[Wanna see them dance Leaning On You]

[By the way, where is Little Qiao? How come we haven't seen her at all?]

[Went into her room as soon as she came back!]

[Qiao Sixiao come out quick!! Qin Wei's little green tea is here!!]

"Alright, Qingqing."

Qin Wei also switched quickly.

Shen Qingqing rested her face in her hands, smiling at Qin Wei:

"Sister, you seem like a totally different person after not seeing you for months. I knew your future is bright."

[I don't remember her saying that?]

[Me neither.]

Qin Wei made some perfunctory remarks before letting Youyou take over the livestream. Then she retreated to the sofa and took out her phone to search -

"Dragon King's Unwanted Son-in-law"

So it was a short video series.

After watching one episode, she was shocked.

She watched another episode and really got into it.

She swiped to watch the third episode when Shen Qingqing sidled up next to her again.

"Sister, have you decided your solo song for the concert?" I heard that section is very important this time!"

Qin Wei: "Haven't thought about it, I'll take a look when the time comes!"

I want to watch the third episode...

But Shen Qingqing still didn't notice Qin Wei's intention and continued chatting with her.

"Our team of five...Sister, do you think we should pick a fast or slow song? I'm still an okay dancer, my rapping is about the same as you."

"Anything is fine..."

Qin Wei answered perfunctorily, she didn't want to talk at all, she wanted to watch the third episode!

While livestreaming, Youyou started calling for Shen Qingqing, desperately hinting that she stop talking to Qin Wei.

Usually just a look would be enough for her to understand but today Shen Qingqing completely ignored her, eyes fixed on Qin Wei like she just wanted to chat with her.

Qiao Sixiao walked out holding a glass of water and the comments livened up again.
