After receiving a satisfactory response, Chacha turned around and led the others away.

As the group walked out of the door, the voice of the gangsters’ leader suddenly rang out, “Wait!”

It was a very loud shout.

Chen Cha and others stopped and turned around.

Chen Cha’s expression was indifferent, the men in black had frosty expressions, while the others were confused. The matter had already ended but he’s still shouting. Could it be that he wouldn’t feel good until he received a beating?

The gangsters’ leader ignored everyone’s gazes, blushed slightly, and asked shyly, “That-, can I have your phone number?”

Everyone: “……”

Chen Cha gave a faint smile and the gangster leader suddenly felt weak in the knees, but then, he saw her turn around and left.

He thought that the girl wasn’t from the same world as him, so he couldn’t afford to be with her and he could only watch from a distance. She had fun with them, but it was due to some kind of fateful accident.

He accepted that this short-lived love of his didn’t last within half a day.

“Miss Chen, Young Master Jiao is waiting for you at the back.”, said one of the men in black suits.

“Okay.”

The group walked through the back door and once outside, Chacha saw several cars parked nearby. She had seen Jiao Yushi’s car before and remembered its license plate, so she walked directly towards his car with Ning An following behind her.

Jiao Yushi lowered the car window and stared at Ning An.

Ning An, whose footsteps paused: “?”

Jiao Yushi continued to stare at her.

Ning An: “???”

Chacha understood his meaning, so she turned around and told Ning An, “……Ning An, let the others take you back.”

Ning An was unsure of what was going on and tonight’s incident left her mind completely blank, so she went to find the men in black in a daze.

Chacha got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Inside, Jiao Yushi saw that her face was flushed and she had a slightly misty look in her eyes, and thought she was really quite pretty.

He collected his thoughts and asked, “What’s going on?”

Chacha briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

He asked, “What do you plan to do now?”

“I’m mulling over whether to destroy Chen Chacha or let her be happy for a little longer.”

Jiao Yushi couldn’t help but reveal an appreciative smile. He didn’t think Chen Cha was talking big.

Since the second semester of their high school senior year, she had become like a different person. No matter what she does, she could always remain clean while letting others do all the dirty work. He had no idea if she planned it that way from the beginning, or if she was just going with the flow.

She had this steady quality about her that makes people feel that no matter what she wanted to do, she could definitely achieve it.

Jiao Yushi suddenly asked, “What do you think about entering politics?”

“Politics?” Chacha shook her head. “That’s a very tiring profession. You have to spend more time acting than actors. I can’t do it.”

Jiao Yushi inwardly thought, You usually act a lot. Because she had been acting for a long time, that perfect smile of hers had already become one with her.

So here’s the thing, she only changed during the senior year of high school. Then what about before?

It was an interesting question.

Jiao Yushi no longer asked more. He wanted to find the answer bit by bit by himself.

———pr

《The Road to the Sky》 was scheduled to be released during New Year’s Day. These things were all handled by Wei Jinsheng. Chacha didn’t have to ask him anything as Wei Jinsheng would send her the progress. Receiving ten text messages a day was already considered a small amount.

During this period, the live stream platform has also entered its testing phase and would be launched in a little while.

The company was on holiday during the New Year’s Day, so Chacha had a rare leisure time.

Because the first semester was almost over and the winter vacation was about to enter, apart from homework and exams, students were very free. The school also held a New Year’s party, so the atmosphere was even more relaxed.

Chacha stayed in her apartment and didn’t go to Chen Guosheng’s house as she had already torn down all pretences with him. Chen Guosheng was probably very happy about it and never looked for her at all.

She stayed at her place, wrote a plan, revised and re-wrote it, then revised and re-wrote it again, before finally coming up with a one-year plan.

Ding Puyu would help her organize her day-to-day affairs, but what she wrote about was what to do in the future, not what to do at moment.

She didn’t go to the school’s New Year’s party, but went to see 《The Road to the Sky》 with Jiao Yushi.

She didn’t intentionally call him. He lived across from her and met him when she was going out. After chatting for a while, Jiao Yushi learned that she was going to watch a movie and went with her.

It has to be said that despite his character’s flaws, Wei Jinsheng was a genius when it comes to directing and writing scripts.

The two female leads, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, had quarrels and heartwarming moments during their journey, ultimately complementing each other and reaching maturity together.

Chacha was almost moved by this sisterly affection.

Perhaps because Wei Jinsheng likes women so much, he was extra attentive to the personalities of the female characters.

When the movie was over, someone rushed up to Chacha and wanted to take a picture with her, but Chacha refused because she didn’t like having pictures of her face taken. After that, some people watched on the side, but no one came forward again.

Most of the people who came to watch the movie in the early stage were fans of Gu Fanghua, Ning An and the other actors. Chacha interacted closely with them, so their fans all knew her.

Although Chacha could prevent others from asking her for a photo, she couldn’t stop them from taking candid shots. Jiao Yushi didn’t comment on this.

The two of them went for a late-night snack on their way back.

After returning home, to no surprise, Chacha saw that she was once again trending on Weibo. In this CP war, there was no doubt that the Jiao Yushi faction won.

Chacha didn’t make a statement, nor did she like or comment. She just pretended not to see it.

Even when her followers ask her all sorts of questions, she remained unmoved.

Some were happy, while some were sad.

Jiao Yushi saw these remarks after returning and found them quite interesting.

Wei Jinsheng had been paying attention to Chen Cha’s news, so he immediately noticed the hot search.

And what did he see? There’s a wild man watching a movie with his Chacha! He almost got mad at that time— no, no— he’s already mad.

Wei Jinsheng immediately called Chen Cha and questioned her, “Who’s that wild man?”

Chacha answered with a question, “What position do you have to ask such a thing?”

Wei Jingsheng asked again, “What do you like about him?!!!”

“Face.”

Wei Jingsheng: “……” He lost, he completely lost.

He suffered a major blow and was quiet for a while, not looking for Chen Cha to torture her again.

Since Chacha had some free time, she went around and took a fancy to a lot of houses. The current house price in this city was only 30,000 yuan per square meter, but it doesn’t matter, as it would double, double, and then double again soon.

She’s confident about the housing prices, so she planned to buy dozens of them.

Of course, she wasn’t going to pay the full price or anything like that, but planned to take out a loan to buy it. The loan amount might be high right now, but looking back at it later, it would appear ridiculously cheap even including the interest.

In the week after New Year’s Day, 《The Road to the Sky》, a movie that wasn’t anticipated by anyone except for Gu Fanghua’s appearance, became popular. It has been on Weibo’s hot search for several days and wouldn’t go down. Even the director and the lead actors have also become popular.

The biggest reason why the director became popular was that he had never filmed a movie before. This was his debut work, which meant Wei Jinsheng was a new director with extraordinary talent.

Therefore, Wei Jinsheng had been particularly busy recently, with people coming to him one after another for a meal, to film movies, and using unwritten rules to ask him for favors, so that he had no time to ’harass’ Chen Cha.

In this matter, he was the only one who felt sad.

Other people were either just eating melon, happy to see this happen, or they don’t care.

Ning An’s acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, opening the eyes of netizens who had previously mocked her. After being shocked, people couldn’t help but have a good impression of her.

She gained millions of followers in a short period of time, and finally rose from the 18th tier to become a new dark horse.

As for Gu Fanghua, before the movie was released, some people thought that she must have been kicked in the head by a donkey or she might have been threatened, thus she couldn’t refuse to take on the role.

But once the movie was released……

Good, good, good, as expected of Sister Gu, they knew she wouldn’t disappoint her fans.

Chacha wasn’t interested in any of this. She was only focused on the box office. In just one week, the ticket sale had exceeded 100 million and it was still rising. It was very pleasing. She knew that this was just the beginning and it would explode later.

She was very happy, so she ran around and set her sights on a few houses. She would make a reservation first and talk about the rest later.

Before going to sleep, Chacha lay on the bed and scrolled through her phone. She saw the hot search labelled 《A Once-in-a-century Beauty》 and was a little speechless.

In her memory, many idols indeed like to package themselves as once in a ‘one, two, three, four, five, six or seven thousand year beauty’. But looking at this, it didn’t appear like it was pertaining to a popular young actress.

This one century title could be considered as being humble.

Because of this modesty, Chacha clicked in and took a look. She found that it was a video shot by an amateur. It showed a girl in a white dress dancing on the stage. Her posture was beautiful, and while her face couldn’t be seen clearly, one could tell from the bone structure that it was symmetrical and small.

At the end, after the girl finished her dance, she stood in front of the crowd and bowed. Only then could her face be seen clearly.

Beautiful, really beautiful.

Although Chacha saw her own face every day in the mirror, making her standards gradually increase, she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when she saw the other party’s face.

The girl’s beauty wasn’t only due to her facial features, but also the combination of temperament and figure.

Chacha reposted it on Weibo with the caption, 【In five minutes, I want all of her information [Domineering president face]. If no one says anything, I’ll ask again.】

As soon as it was posted, the number of comments quickly multiplied.

【I’ll wait five minutes, if no one reveals anything, I’ll wait another five minutes.】

【I’ll wait online for just five minutes. After licking the screen, it was already over.】

【The licking screen one is awesome, so witty.】

When Chacha saw no one gave any information, she just went to scroll around. In fact, she’s just casually asking and making an appearance for her followers. If someone really has information, she could go find the girl to see if she was interested in acting.

She’s so beautiful, and as long as she’s not an idiot, she could easily become famous.

But even then, it was still alright, as she could still make a name for herself under the watch of a manager.

All in all, the girl was a good seedling. If she signed under Chacha’s company, she could bring in money.

And so Chacha posted on Weibo to ask if someone knew the other party. If no one does, she could just consider it as a long overdue Weibo clock-in.

Chacha thought that the likelihood of not finding the girl was relatively low, because every netizen were excellent at finding things, whether it’s ghost or idiots.

The remaining question was whether the girl would be willing to sign a contract or not. But Chacha didn’t deliberate on this matter. Thinking about a lot of things that might or might not happen was just a waste of energy. It’s best to deal with the situation when the time comes.
