The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 55

Qin Wei denied:

"I just got my phone back today, how could I have posted anything? Besides, I'll wait until I get paid, then we can talk about other things!"

Li Yao continued in a low voice, "I told you, you were born for the spotlight, you're a natural born star. Other than this job, what other jobs could you do?"

"Iron rice bowl."

"?"

"I want to take the civil service exam, stable, safe, no worries."

"??"

Li Yao opened his mouth as if to say something, but eventually gave up. He asked the flight attendant for an eye mask and turned to lower his seat to sleep.

Qin Wei felt he was being weird. Then she took out a book and read it herself.

In the afternoon, she ate a big bowl of beef noodles, and after eating her fill, she also fell asleep groggily.

...

The young lady who took photos with Qin Wei at the airport uploaded the photos to the Little Sweet Potato Platform, with the caption:

"Transit at Milan Airport, ran into female celebrity by chance. She looks even prettier than on TV, and she has a nice personality too. I thought she wouldn't want to take photos with us because she was injured, but she was worried we would feel disappointed, so she took the initiative to take photos with us."

Comments below:

[This is Qin Wei right? Wow her face is so small in real life, she is quite pretty, you sure she has no makeup on?]

[If you look closely under her baseball cap, there are bandages, I guess this is the injury the original poster mentioned, seems quite serious...]

[There are online rumors that she had an accident while filming a show in Italy, and there were no updates afterwards. The show didn't release any statements either, and the latest episode has been postponed already. Adding the time the original poster made this post, I guess she got injured during the filming.]

[Quite tragic, she didn't make any response herself, and the show is keeping quiet too. Looks like she really has no backer.]

[As a fan, I feel bad for this goose.]

[Even as a bystander I feel she's quite pitiful.]

[Even as an anti-fan I can't stand to watch this, the show should at least give an explanation!]

After the photos were uploaded online, many people stood up for Qin Wei, feeling that even if she was a faded celebrity, she shouldn't be treated so dismissively by the show crew.

So tags related to Qin Wei trended on hot search:

#Qin Wei injured#

#Qin Wei Milan Airport#

#Qin Wei personality#

...

[Sunshine Bright Star, come out and give an explanation. A perfectly fine person went to film your show, what happened during it? Which incident did your crew handle properly?]

[You should at least ensure the artist's safety right? Our little brother was also on this show. Thinking back now sends chills down my spine. He's still young and can't handle any accidents.]

[Show crew, be human! Is it so hard to explain clearly what happened from start to finish?]

[Everyone, I met Qin Wei in London before too. She's a very nice girl, no airs at all. The impression I got meeting her in person is that a lot of the online smears about her are probably false. I'll only believe what I saw with my own eyes.]

[Sharing a hot tip: Qin Wei didn't drink drive, the accident she got into was because she drove on a closed road section, she paid the fine and served the sentence, so everyone can stop using this incident to smear her in the future!]

[Sunshine Bright Star, come out. I kneel for you!]

...

Right when things seemed to be settling down, the original post was liked by Shen Kai, blowing up the internet again.

The media was abuzz, Qin Wei suffers injustice, former rumored boyfriend silently supports her, this was more interesting than Shen Kai making a post to speak up for her! So interesting that no one could sleep!

Public opinion was ignited again.

Online discussions were all demanding an explanation for Qin Wei, while the show crew also felt the pressure of public opinion. At the same time, the video platform that bought the rights to the show also contacted the crew, because some users had started boycotting the platform over this incident. If it was not handled properly, they would ask the crew to compensate platform losses.

The producer, investors, director and other management hurriedly held a video conference, and finally had no choice but to post a public apology on the internet platform.

[Sunshine Bright Star: Didn't mean to take up public resources, but some things need explanation from us. There was an accident during filming, it was entirely our responsibility. It happened suddenly, the crew rushed Qin Wei to the hospital first thing, and notified her agent.

We discussed follow up matters, and unanimously agreed that Qin's health should be the priority. Medical expenses incurred during this time will be fully covered by the crew, further compensation will be agreed upon by representatives of both sides after the police investigation concludes.

We will deeply reflect on this incident, and sincerely apologize again for the distress caused to Qin Wei and her fans!]

Netizens:

[Should have apologized earlier, isn't it just because of Shen's like?]

[What exactly is going on between them? Feels like things are moving in an interesting direction.]

[Anyway it's good to get an explanation, but she made such a big fuss yet Qin Wei didn't make a peep?]

[She's probably still on the flight back, I saw online she was spotted by her fan club.]

[Wtf fan club, they disbanded so long ago...]

[There's a new one recently, look up Qin Wei fan club and you'll see.]

[So Qin Wei is making a comeback? Doesn't that mean we anti-fans failed?]

...

High up in the sky, Qin Wei groggily opened her eyes, reached up to touch her forehead, bumped into the wound and was instantly wide awake from the pain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is descending. Please return to your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and fold away your tray tables..."

She woke up just in time, the plane broadcast sounded too. Qin Wei saw Li Yao still sleeping soundly with his eye mask on, so she patted his face:

"When we get off the plane, treat me to some pork ribs and rice?"

Li Yao: "..."

...

Liu Simin barged into Shen Kai's room holding his phone. He stood in front of Shen Kai and pointed at the trending search on his phone without preamble:

"#Shen Kai Qin Wei#, #Shen Kai liked#, care to explain what you were thinking?"

Shen Kai was reading a script then. He slowly looked up after hearing him out:

"First I need to clarify one thing, are you questioning me?"

Liu Simin sensed his displeasure, and softened his tone too:

"Your career is going so well now, you shouldn't get involved with any controversial celebrities. You two already had...rumors before, avoiding suspicion is more important."

Shen Kai said "I know" and went back to reading his script. Liu Simin couldn't do anything with him so he silently left.

Things were moving in an interesting direction. This woman had changed too much, so much that he felt like he didn't know her anymore.

But the more this was so, the more interested Shen Kai became. Now this woman's every word and action seemed to capture his attention.

Shen Kai stroked his chin, murmuring to himself:

"What kind of reason would let me meet up with her naturally?"
