The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 143

Qin Wei listened to it all, feeling like her throat was sweet enough to spit blood. She quickly raised her hand to stop Li Yao.

"Li Yao, promise me one thing."

Seeing Qin Wei speak with such sincerity, Li Yao pushed up his glasses:

"Oh, what is it, young majesty?"

"If I die suddenly, at my funeral dress me in my favorite duck T-shirt, and put my strawberry hair band on me too.

Oh, don't play funeral music, play the Cat and Mouse theme song. Don't feel embarrassed for me, I'll already be dead, so just do as I say!"

As Qin Wei spoke, she even looked pained and heartbroken.

Even a worn out donkey should get to rest once in a while, no? She hadn't even had a full weekend off yet!

You You was stunned speechless, not daring to make a peep.

Li Yao swallowed his saliva:

"So...I discussed with President Xu...we have...have the day after tomorrow off...to pack and do whatever you want, just don't do anything to get revenge on society..."

...

"Click!"

"Very good Teacher Qiao, you passed this one too!"

Qiao Sixiao let out a breath, and once her assistant took off her cape, she went to sit and rest to the side.

The director himself walked over and handed her a bottle of water:

"Teacher Qiao, you've worked hard these days, running between the set and the show. You haven't even had time to rest."

Qiao Sixiao forced out a smile:

"It's not too bad, this is all stuff I should be doing anyway, can't run from it."

The director also smiled, pulling over a chair to sit:

"Then let Teacher Qiao steal some leisure time in the busyness!

It just so happens all the scenes tomorrow for the whole crew have been pushed back. The crew itself needs to recalibrate, and you're going on a business trip the day after, so no difference in losing today. Just consider tomorrow a day to rest and adjust your condition."

After getting confirmation from both the studio and crew, Qiao Sixiao finished shooting her scenes today then went home. On the way, she repeatedly confirmed with her staff whether she had any schedules tomorrow.

Qiao Sixiao didn't quite believe it:

"Really nothing arranged? Then why don't we move up the later work while I'm free tomorrow, get it done ahead of time."

Her assistant smiled helplessly:

"Sis, really nothing arranged. Right now the workload is focused on the variety show <<Against the Wind>> and the TV drama shoots, plus you're going on your business trip. Other activities are all arranged afterwards, so why don't you just rest for a day?"

"Rest, I don't know what I would do."

The assistant understood. After all it was rare for her to suddenly have a blank day like this. So she gave suggestions:

"Go shopping, window shopping, anything like that works. Or if you want to go to a spa or something else, I can also help you arrange it."

Qiao Sixiao sighed. She had been going nonstop these past few years. Rest did happen, just not as suddenly as today. She was even a little unused to it.

Alright...she really should get some proper rest...

...

At midnight, Qin Wei's phone vibrated and the screen lit up for a moment. She was too lazy to open her eyes, so she knocked the screen onto the bedside table and turned to keep sleeping.

Then the phone vibrated again. Qin Wei frowned, pulling the quilt over her head.

...

A few minutes later, it happened again.

Every few minutes there would be a buzz, waking her right up as she was about to fall asleep.

The middle of the night! Even capitalists shouldn't exploit like this!

Qin Wei opened her eyes, sleepiness all gone as she looked at the phone screen receiving a message every few minutes. She really couldn't sleep like this.

If it was Li Yao calling her to work right now, then only one of them would make it out alive!

Picking up her phone and unlocking it, over a dozen messages—

[Qiao Sixiao: Qin Wei are you asleep?]

[Qiao Sixiao: I have a question I want to ask you...]

[Qiao: If you suddenly get a day off how do you know what to do with it?]

[Qiao: I thought about this problem and now I can't sleep]

[Qiao: No other meaning in asking you this, just that out of everyone I know you were idle for over two years, so you have experience]

[Qiao: From afternoon till now, I didn't know what to do. How did you get through every day back then?]

[Qiao: Give me suggestions]

[Qiao: No joy in shopping]

[Qiao: Don't want to go crowded places]

[Qiao: No habit of napping during the day]

[Qiao: No cooking skills and don't want to practice]

[Qiao: Tell me how you always whiled away your time]

[Qiao: Nevermind, it's so late you must be sleeping now, I'll stop]

Qin Wei: "..."

[Qin: Do you have something wrong with you?]

No response.

[Qin: I suspect you have no friends]

Still no response.

[Qin: Qiao Sixiao yo!]

[Qin: Qiao Sixiao you *series of curses*]

Yet still no response.

Could she have fallen asleep?

Qin Wei expressionlessly looked at the lit up screen, but in the darkness that small square of light made her expression appear somewhat crazed.

She tapped the bottom right corner, tapped video call.

Tonight no one's sleeping! Qiao Sixiao, let's die together!!!

...

The next morning when waking up, Qin Wei had a headache. She simply ate some biscuits and drank a cup of coffee to dispel her sleepiness, then headed out.

Parked in front of her home was a sports car. Qin Wei opened the passenger side door and got in.

Long story short.

Because Qiao Sixiao had messaged Qin Wei last night causing her to lose sleep, Qin Wei video called her, not letting Qiao Sixiao sleep either.

At first they just watched each other make sarcastic remarks, but as they kept talking, the two spent the entire night cursing at each other on the phone screen, only feeling drowsy when it was nearly dawn. But they didn't get to sleep long before having to get up again.

The communication last night wasn't completely useless, at least they reached one agreement—Qin Wei would take her out to play, helping her get through this boring day.

Qiao Sixiao had driven over alone, and right now didn't look to have much energy either, making Qin Wei a little nervous:

"In your condition...can you drive?"

Qiao Sixiao turned her head to look at her, even helping to buckle her seatbelt. Her gaze at Qin Wei was meaningful, and she even quirked her brow.

Qin Wei immediately fawned over her, handing over the coffee she held to Qiao Sixiao:

"Sis, drink coffee. I specially ground this fresh for you. We all have morning tempers, I understand. We can't joke around with traffic safety.

When civility and traffic safety exist, life and love remain..."

Qiao Sixiao glared at her. Impatiently putting on sunglasses she asked:

"Where to? Put it in the GPS."

Qin Wei obediently input their destination.

And didn't dare make a peep the whole way there.

Dead silence the entire drive. Qiao Sixiao earnestly drove without even playing a song.

Could it be that high end sports cars don't have sound systems?

Qin Wei held herself back from asking. It would make her seem lacking in experience.

Luckily the trip wasn't far. The sports car took several turns before finally parking in a temporary lot.

Qiao Sixiao looked all around. They were surrounded by residential areas without even a large supermarket in sight. Nothing looked particularly special either. So she took off her sunglasses to look at Qin Wei, hoping she would explain.

Qin Wei was about to get out and saw her like this, then froze in surprise:

"Getting off, what are you waiting for?"

"What is this place? Qin Wei, you're not messing with me are you?"

"Oh this place? This is my secret base."
