Chapter 22.5

Zhou Bingyan has also been very busy recently. Jin Lie’s mother is about to have her birthday, and she spends every day thinking about what gift to give. Therefore, she hasn’t put much thought into other things.

After listening to Chu Piaopiao’s sobbing and complaining, Zhou Bingyan tiredly pinched her brow. Why is it always trouble when it comes to that woman Su Qian.

“Next time, hire a higher quality water army. Be honest recently, just do whatever work you can get.”

“Cousin, I…”

“Aren’t you listening to me? Your resources are being targeted crazily, haven’t you thought about other aspects?”

Chu Piaopiao hesitated, “You mean someone behind Su Qian is targeting me?”

Zhou Bingyan was very resistant to this speculation in her heart. Because admitting that it was Jin Lie who took action, it seemed like indirectly admitting that he was protecting Su Qian.

And this thought was as uncomfortable as ants gnawing at her nerves.

Zhou Bingyan took a deep breath, “Su Qian, don’t move for now. I will help you get back what you lost, don’t worry.”

.

In contrast to Chu Piaopiao’s misery, Su Qian has been thriving during this period.

《Time》 will come to a grand finale this week after more than a month of broadcasting. Su Qian has made her presence felt with her superb acting skills and the empathetic ability of her character.

Every day there are posts about her on the forum. “Crying for Xin Yun” has also become a hot topic and a catchphrase among netizens. The number of fans on Weibo is soaring every day, directly breaking through from 1.05 million to more than 4 million.

Moreover, a fan made a mixed cut of all the roles Su Qian has played since her debut. Each role is marked with the year and character name.

Like the stack of business cards, they are also marks of her growth.

“Every place you’ve walked will leave footprints, and these footprints will become the cornerstone of your success. As an actress, Su Qian, you are down-to-earth, your future will definitely be in the spotlight.”

“Xin Yun, hello, I’m not your fan, but I was moved by your acting. I admit you’re a good actress!”

“Su Qian Xin Yun, Xin Yun Su Qian. Clearly, there are no common points between the two people, but they merge into one person. I think this is the charm of an actor!”

“Xin Yun, I hope you will be happy and healthy in your next life, and never encounter those messy things again. Today, I will say goodbye to you with a calm attitude, and then I’m going to be a fan of Su Qian! Baby, I’m coming!!!”

“If Su Qian continues to act like this, I will never criticize her in my lifetime! Xin Yun, you’re the best!”

Today’s plot is about Xin Yun’s death, and the drama crew took advantage of the heat to buy a trending search. Netizens, contrary to their usual behavior, did not diss, but waved goodbye to this character with tears. Some people were even more upset, using Su Qian’s Weibo as a place to vent.

A tragic character who has been successfully portrayed always evokes more pity from the public than a happy character. Taking advantage of the high popularity, the makeup advertisement shot by Su Qian was also released. The short video of a few seconds was played in a crazy loop by fans, and the comments were all praises like “Aaahhhh, Qianqian is so beautiful” and “My daughter has a beautiful face, momy is so proud”, etc.

Just a few months ago, Su Qian was still in a situation where she was criticized all over the internet. Unexpectedly, as time passed, her reputation underwent a drastic change in a short period of time.

Looking at the tens of thousands of comments on Weibo, Su Qian suddenly felt a bit grateful to Zhao Wenjun. If it weren’t for her giving the role of the second female lead in other dramas to Ji Yuxi, she wouldn’t have gotten the role of Xin Yun.

Su Qian: “Every cloud has a silver lining, everything is predestined.”

“Sister Qianqian, what should I do? I’m going to collapse!” Xu Ke called and sobbed.

“What happened to you?”

“Isn’t it because you acted so well that now I have too much work to handle! Hahaha, the taste of being busy is really good!”

Popularity is mysterious. Before the drama was broadcast, no one could have imagined that the most popular character would be Su Qian, the third female lead. Now, it’s not to say that she is overshadowing Chu Piaopiao, the female lead, but it’s definitely true that she is the most popular.

During the broadcast of 《Time》, Chu Piaopiao gained several hundred thousand fans, while Su Qian has already gained more than three million. It’s a multiple knockout! Naturally, her agent also started to rise.

Hmm, it turns out her assistant is in Versailles. Su Qian flipped through the script, and gently reminded, “Don’t accept everything when you’re hot-headed. You have to show it to me first.”

An actor needs to cherish their feathers, she has to stabilize the reputation that she has finally built up, and can only be more careful than before.

“I know, Sister Qianqian, don’t worry!” Xu Ke said, “Are you joining the crew next month? I heard that the company wants to get you a life assistant, and… it seems like they have plans to renew the contract with you.”

“No need.” Su Qian rejected in one breath, “There are still two or three months, I’m too lazy to adapt to new people, you are enough.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ke was overjoyed, “I understand, Sister Qianqian!”

After the drama ended, Su Qian took on several endorsements. There were first-line brand clothing, home furnishings, shampoo, and so on.

After being busy for most of the month, Jin Lie’s mother’s birthday is coming up next week.

Jin Lie said the birthday banquet would be simple, only inviting some relatives and friends to attend. Su Qian was pondering what gift would be good to give her mother-in-law, and she asked the question on her mind without thinking.

“Will your childhood friend’s family also go?”

Jin Lie: “Who is the childhood friend?”

“Zhou Bingyan, who else?”

Jin Lie slowly put down his fork and knife, and took a sip of red wine, “We just knew each other since we were young.”

Su Qian pouted. Tsk tsk tsk, still “we”!

“So will that little buddy you’ve known since childhood go?”

Jin Lie knew that Su Qian disliked Zhou Bingyan, and deliberately ignored her sarcastic tone, “She should. After all, my dad and Uncle Zhou are very good friends.”

“Oh.” Su Qian wiped her mouth and stopped eating.

“Are you full?” He looked at her barely touched plate and asked.

“I can’t help it, I’m starting to lose my appetite now.”

“It’s good to be a little hungry, you look a bit fat on camera.”

A bit fat.

Fat.

Fat.

There’s nothing more hurtful than this word. Su Qian was instantly furious, “Hey!”

Jin Lie turned his back to her, smiled, and went upstairs leisurely.

At night, Su Qian tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep, so she went to the study room to borrow a book from Jin Lie. When she opened the door, she found that the light was on but no one was there.

Su Qian stood at the door, hesitated for a few seconds and prepared to leave, just then a message from Zhou Bingyan popped up on the computer screen.

Zhou Bingyan: 【Which of these two gifts do you think godmother would like?】

The message was followed by two pictures. The first one was a pair of high-quality jade earrings, which suited Mother Jin’s temperament. The second one was a pink diamond necklace, elegant and luxurious.

Su Qian glanced at the door, then stretched out her index finger and sent a 【1】.

Zhou Bingyan quickly replied: 【We really have a connection, I also think the earrings are more suitable.】

Su Qian pouted. Sorry to disappoint you, the one who has a connection with you is not Jin Lie, but Jin Lie’s wife.

Zhou Bingyan said a few more words afterwards, which were basically what a lonely woman would say when flirting with a married man.

She didn’t reply anymore and deleted all the chat records. At this moment, the door opened, and Su Qian immediately walked to the bookshelf and casually pulled out a book.

“Why are you here?” Jin Lie walked in.

“I… came to borrow a book.”

Jin Lie glanced at the book she was holding, his eyes dark and hard to read, “You seem to be particularly interested in this area.”

Su Qian glanced at the computer desktop, and relieved that Zhou Bingyan didn’t send any more messages. In her relaxed state, she absent-mindedly said, “Yes, yes, I’m particularly interested. Maybe one day we can discuss it.”

“You want to discuss with me?”

“Can’t I? When we talk about it, you’ll find that I know a lot more than you think.”

Jin Lie hooked the corner of his mouth in an ambiguous way, “Is that so? Then I can look forward to it.”

“Let’s do it another day, it’s already very late today, I’m going back first.”

Su Qian quickly opened the door with the book in her hand, and Jin Lie’s voice came from behind her, “Isn’t it more appropriate to study this kind of thing at night?”

She only felt that Jin Lie’s expression and tone were a bit strange. When she returned to her room and threw the book on the bed and saw the title, she finally understood the reason.

“Our Apricot…”

Particularly interested.

I want to discuss with you.

Know more than you…

Aaahhhh, let her die! What did she just say!!!
