Chacha scrolled Weibo for a while, leaving likes and comments from time to time. After interacting with some bloggers, she felt that time was almost up, so she returned to her homepage, clicked on her latest post, and looked at the comment section. There was one who made it to the very top after being liked by a lot of people, which made Chacha slightly embarrassed.

【My First Love’s Face Was Disfigured: Chacha, didn’t you come see the New Year’s party? I’m in the same school as you [Covering face while laughing]】

This was the only one that’s normal and the rest were all bewildering.

【Chacha met First Love and fell in love with her. The School Grass and Ning An made it difficult for her to choose, so in order to sort out her feelings, she became an Internet celebrity. (What am I talking about?) [Laughing while crying].】

【Ning An happily opened Weibo but found that Chacha had taken notice of another girl. ‘Damn it’, Ning An thought.】

【The School Grass will look at Chacha’s Weibo once a day. Today is sunny and supposed to be a happy day, but he didn’t expect that Chacha will post about another girl and not him. The School Grass is so sad that he rushes to Chacha’s house…… Goodness, I can’t make up things anymore.】

【Chacha will first ask First Love out to drink milk tea. With a wave of Chacha’s hand, she would say, ‘I’ve bought this milk tea shop. You can order whatever you want’.】

Chacha: “……” Netizens were really talkative.

In confusion, she read the short jokes in the comment section for a while. Afterwards, she went to send a private message to My First Love’s Face Was Disfigured, 【Sorry, I didn’t go to the New Year’s party. Do you have time for a meal?】

The other party replied about ten minutes later, 【Yeah. I’m still in school, at the Department of Economics.】

【Chacha: What a coincidence, I’m near the school. Do you have a restaurant you want to go to?】

【My First Love’s Face Was Disfigured: Let’s go for hot pot. I haven’t had it for a long time. Sigh, there’s no one around me who likes it, and it’s no fun to eat hot pot alone. I know a good place. I’ll send you the address.】

【Chacha: OK.】

Just as Chacha arrived in front of the hotpot restaurant, she received a message from My First Love’s Face Was Disfigured, saying that he had reserved a private room and was already there. She sent Chacha the room number.

Chacha parked the car and entered inside. A waiter guided her to the private room, and as soon as she entered, she saw a girl wearing a white down jacket, staring at the hot pot in front of her quietly and longingly.

Chacha walked over and sat across from the other party. She said with a smile, “I’m Chen Cha. I guess there’s no need for further introduction.”

“Of course, you’re a famous person.” The girl looked up. She had big eyes with slightly drooping ends, making her appear fragile and pure. But because her eyelashes were thick and long, it gave her a gorgeous air, along with her large and dark pupils.

The other party’s eye’s really shine.

“My name is He Yu.” The other party said with a smile.

Chacha nodded. “I have to say, wearing white clothes to eat hot pot, you’re bold and courageous.”

He Yu giggled. “It’s a must, since I don’t have a lot of strong points. I’m just a little bit good at being bold.”

Although He Yu’s style of speaking was a bit rough, her way of eating was elegant. She chews the food slowly, savouring every bite, and her white clothes weren’t splashed with red oil.

In this regard, Chacha really admired her.

When they were almost done eating, He Yu put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and asked, “You didn’t ask me out because you don’t have anyone to eat with, right?”

“En.” Chacha nodded. She put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. After taking another sip of sour plum juice, she said, “I want to know if you have any plans to enter the entertainment industry.”

He Yu was stunned for a moment and said, “No. Although I’m quite interested in the entertainment industry, if I really go, my parents will break my legs.”

Chacha smiled. “It means you’re actually interested in this industry, right? What do you like? Acting? Singing? Or something else?”

“Singing and modelling.” He Yu held her chin with one hand and said casually, “You also see and hear me, right? My voice and face are very rare. I always feel it’s a pity that only a few people can hear and see me.”

Chacha couldn’t help laughing. “It seems you’re a very philanthropic and generous person. Since you think it’s such a pity, do you have any intention to try making it a career?”

He Yu said, “If I can hide my face and use a stage name.”

Chacha thought for a while and asked, “Which part of your face are you fine exposing?”

He Yu said, “Eyes and mouth, I guess.”

Chacha said, “That’s doable.”

He Yu was a little dumbfounded. “It is?” She was just talking nonsense, but when Chen Cha agreed, she felt a bit abashed.

Chacha smiled. “If I said yes, then it’s fine. It’s still early. You and I can go to the company together and I’ll have the professionals talk to you.”

“Wait.” He Yu asked, “You run the company?”

Chacha nodded. “Sort of, I co-own it.”

He Yu asked again, “Who did you partner with?”

“Jiao Yushi,” Chacha answered honestly.

There’s nothing to hide about this matter. Anyone could find it out by just checking the corporate website. It’s not a secret.

However, most people wouldn’t think that she would start a company at her age, nor would they think that she and Jiao Yushi was often together due to it. They were actually discussing serious matters rather than dating.

Therefore, not many people knew that her and Jiao Yushi’s relationship was pure—— purer than the white down jacket He Yu was wearing.

“Okay, let’s go.” He Yu immediately agreed.

Chacha gave her a strange look.

He Yu froze, then raised her hands and said, “Don’t get me wrong, I have no thoughts about Classmate Jiao.”

She just wanted to see the gossip up close.

By the way, in He Yu’s opinion, these ‘Chacha × Ning An’, ‘Chengda University’s School Grass Jiao Yushi × Chacha’ and ‘Chacha × Director Wei Jinsheng’ CP’s, were like cults.

He Yu took a taxi while Chacha drove there, so when going to the company, He Yu took Chacha’s car.

On the way, He Yu couldn’t help gossiping and asked, “Did Ning An signed with your company?”

Then it makes sense why Chen Cha was always helping Ning An. While it’s true that friends would often interact a lot, Chen Cha was obviously somewhat protective of Ning An.

Suddenly, He Yu felt that there’s a slight crack in the Chacha × Ning An CP.

She was slightly melancholic.

Chacha nodded and said with a smile, “Although you’re a senior at school, but in the company, Ning An is your senior.”

He Yu sighed, “What a complicated relationship.”

When they arrived, He Yu was very curious. Her gesture of looking around looked pretty. She was slowly moving her gaze, as if she was filming a movie scene, and her every movement was elegant.

Chacha had already sent a text message to Yan Shanmei while they were at the hot pot restaurant and she had been waiting in the lounge for some time. Because Ning An lives in the same area, Yan Shanmei also often comes there, and she didn’t feel inconvenienced when she was suddenly called to the company.

Although the place was small, it was well-equipped. Currently, Yan Shanmei wasn’t the only manager there, as the HR department has hired another two from other companies. They would have to find potential newcomers on their own, and Yan Shanmei was no exception.

It was rare for Chen Cha to take the initiative to bring someone over. At least it was the first one since the company had been registered—— not counting Ning An, as she was the catalyst for the company’s establishment, or could also be said as an old-timer who was there since the beginning.

The instant Yan Shanmei saw He Yu, her eyes lit up. When she had read Chen Cha’s last post, she felt that Chen Cha probably wanted the girl dancing in the video to come to the company.

Yan Shanmei didn’t hold much expectation at that time. The girl seemed like she’s doing fine on her own and there was no need to wade in the muddy waters of the entertainment industry. But Yan Shanmei didn’t expect that Chen Cha could actually brought the girl there.

Some people were born to stand in front of the camera.

Like the person in front of her. She’s beautiful, but not just because of her face, but as a whole, giving people a stunning first impression.

There were those who were eye-catching at first, but the more one look at them, the more they feel visually fatigue. However, there were those who the more one look at them, the more they were pleasing to the eye. The girl in front of Yan Shanmei was the latter.

After introducing the two to each other and telling Yan Shanmei about He Yu’s request to not show her face, Chacha let them negotiate the rest and left first.

Afterwards, He Yu’s original Weibo account My First Love’s Face Was Disfigured, became her personal account, and she opened a new one under the stage name: Zihou^[1]Purple Fire.

A stage name that resembles a QQ nickname and was somewhat gender neutral.

After following each other online, Chacha stopped interfering with He Yu’s business.

It’s because the end of term was really quite busy.

Five to six days after the final exam, 《The Road to the Sky》 had been showing on theaters for about a month into its release.

The statistical result was that the box office reached 1.57 billion, setting a new record for local movies. All the people involved in this work more or less gained popularity, though the intensity varies.

There’s a lively discussion about this matter on the Internet. Because there were movies released at the same time, there were several that have been enthusiastically promoted earlier on, and with many big names on the production, they obviously attracted much attention. Unexpectedly, they were far surpassed by 《The Road to the Sky》, an unknown film that came out of nowhere.

The movie also won several awards during this period, like Best Actress Award, Best Newcomer Award, Best Director Award, Best Screenplay Award, and so on.

It goes without saying that Gu Fanghua would basically win awards every time she makes an appearance. It was Wei Jinsheng and Ning An who gained the most.

Wei Jinsheng won two awards by himself, which shows that he’s extremely talented, causing him to become even busier and had no time to harass Chacha. He very suddenly disappeared from Chacha’s life.

But not only was Chacha not sad, she even wanted to laugh.

Ning An received the Best Newcomer Award and was nominated for the Best Actress Award, which was a good starting point. She also got a lot of movie invitations and also became busier. Fortunately, she was on vacation from school, so she could do more things.

After setting a record at the box office and winning several awards, the copyright revenue from overseas launches, as well as the revenue from various streaming services and so on had all arrived.

Chacha’s assets kept on doubling that the wages paid to the director, actors and crew members all together were just a drop in the bucket in front of the income she received.

In her previous agreement with Gu Fanghua, the 10% given to her was only for the box office revenue within one month of the movie’s release, and that was after other expenses were taken out, while the rest of the copyright revenue and so on belong to Chacha.

Gu Fanghua kept her words. After receiving 10% of the income, she sent Chacha a private message.

【An Ordinary Passerby: Chacha, give me your bank account~ We agreed that I’ll only charge 70 million. I won’t charge the extra part~

ps: How did you know the movie would be a big hit? 《The Road to the Sky》 is very niche no matter how you look at it~】

【Chacha Loves Drinking Tea: Intuition. If you really don’t want the rest, just donate it.】

【An Ordinary Passerby: Okay~】
