The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 59

“For me?”

When Qin Wei returned home from the hospital, she received a package. Li Yao asked her to wait before opening it, and first tear off the shipping label. After taking a look, he nodded:

“It’s from the Disney official website. You can rest assured to open it.”

Qin Wei felt amused:

“Aren’t you being too cautious? Could it be that some villains want to harm me?”

Li Yao tugged at the corner of his mouth:

“You never know, haven't you been harmed enough on this trip?”

Qin Wei did not deny this. While looking for scissors to open the box, she said:

“It seems they were all accidents. I don't even believe it. It's just that the evidence from London was too difficult to obtain. Asking questions on the streets of Rome wouldn't produce results either. The motorboat instructor...”

Qin Wei suddenly remembered, looking up at Li Yao:

“I took a GoPro and recorded everything that happened, it's just that the device fell into the sea. Is there any way to salvage it?”

Li Yao sighed:

“If this happened in China, you can trust that our police would definitely find a way to collect evidence. But in a foreign country, with no loss of life, do you think they would go looking for a needle in the ocean?”

It was a bit difficult. The cost would be too high, and she was not a citizen of that country either.

In all those “accidents”, it seemed as if the people targeting her had considered this, so they acted without fear.

Qin Wei admitted:

“It looks like there's no solution. It makes me a little angry.”

Li Yao comforted:

“Don’t worry. Our people are also working hard to uncover the identities of those behind the scenes. Things like this won't happen again in the future, so don't worry too much.”

Qin Wei spread her hands:

“What do I have to worry about? Being harmed must be because I stood in someone's way. After I retire, I'll let them have the easy road. What reason will they have to harm a retired nobody like me?”

Li Yao felt like spitting blood. Qin Wei's heart was still set on retirement...

"Your idea of taking the civil service exam, everyone on the internet is mocking it! They say you have no education and can't pass."

Qin Wei was not annoyed. She slowly opened the box, inside was a congratulatory card and a plush toy.

"Oh, it's Pluto."

Qin Wei opened the bag. Inside was the classic Disney character - Pluto, a yellow dog wearing a hat and clothes.

So cute.

The card read, wishing for Qin Wei's speedy recovery soon.

It was signed by "Xiao Han".

Li Hanming had a kind heart to send this.

Qin Wei took out her phone to take pictures of the toy. She originally wanted to send it to Li Hanming to express her thanks, but remembering their company's harsh policies, she decided not to cause trouble for him.

So she casually changed her profile picture to Pluto. This way, when Li Hanming saw it, he would know she received it.

Aren't I so clever...

After Qin Wei was done with that, she said to Li Yao:

"I know, I saw it. Let them mock if they want! I'm waiting for my school account to be set up. It shows that I'm on leave from school, not dropped out. And the maximum leave period hasn't ended yet. After I retire from the circle, I'll go back to process the procedures to resume school. After graduation I'll take the exam. I'll try both civil service and public institution exams, surely I can pass one of them!"

When Li Yao heard this, his heart thumped loudly.

"My ancestor, an official career may not suit you. Must you go down this path?"

Qin Wei nodded:

"Yes, I've already stated this on Weibo."

Li Yao: "???"

[Qin Wei_Vivian: Thank you everyone for your concern. I'm back in China and I'm fine, my injuries are not serious, I just need to recuperate for a while. Thanks again for everyone's care!]

Comments below -

[Sister, take care of yourself!]

[Sis, are you still taking the civil service exam? Do you know you haven't graduated?]

[Here comes someone poking at Qin sister's heart again, hahaha!]

[It's "injured not seriously" not "of", sister your level will have a hard time passing the preliminary exam!]

[Qin Wei_Vivian: Mind your own business.]

[Holy crap! The star herself came down to clap back??? Rare sight!]

[You really can't take it! Without graduating is equivalent to high school education. The application requires bachelor's degree and diploma, they didn't say anything wrong, did they?]

[Qin Wei_Vivian: I'm on leave from school, not dropped out. I can just go back to school right?]

[Nevermind, forget I said anything.]

[Does sister Qin read every comment? Flip my card then! I have an exam tomorrow, if you flip it I'll get full marks.]

[Qin Wei_Vivian: Flipped your card, if you don't get full marks then delete your account...]

[Wow so savage!]

[Qin Wei_Vivian: I don't understand what you're saying?]

...

Li Yao felt his hands shaking. For a star of her status to personally clap back at netizens, this was the first time he had seen it.

If his guess was right, her Weibo post would soon be blasted by righteous netizens, then they would pin her with the label of "online bullying ordinary people".

"You really are my ancestor."

Li Yao rolled his eyes at her, already thinking in his mind, how to help this irredeemable ancestor with PR.

Checking the hot search, there were several related tags -

#Qin Wei none of your business#

#Qin Wei on leave from school#

#Qin Wei doesn't understand#

Clicking randomly into one tag, the hot Weibo posts:

[Orange Entertainment: #Qin Wei none of your business#, today famous actress Qin Wei posted to update fans she's fine. Teased by netizens, she said "Mind your own business". Netizens praised her as "So cute", "Gap moe", does little sister @Qin Wei_Vivian know she's being so naughty?]

Li Yao was very surprised. This marketing account had spent the last year relentlessly smearing Qin Wei, making things up when there was no black material. How did they suddenly change their tune to praise her? Did they get a plastic surgery?

[Fish Pond Gossip: #Qin Wei on leave from school# Qin Wei is one of the more clear-headed female stars. Going on leave from school was because filming took up a long period, she didn't want it affecting her courses. Little sister knows you can't have your cake and eat it too. She went on leave to ensure drama quality, truly dedicated. And level-headed!]

What's there to praise...even the marketing accounts are desperately praising her...

[Circle News: #Qin Wei doesn't understand# Fans asked her to flip their card, Qin Wei indulged them and flipped, encouraging fans to study hard and score high. Fans praised Qin Wei, but Qin Wei didn't know what "mom fans" meant. She said she doesn't understand. Compared to her beautiful and cold exterior, the little sister's heart is innocent and cute. Do you like this "mortal world's riches and honor"?]

Even Li Yao, after reading it, couldn't help but say:

"Damn..."

Qin Wei glared at him:

"No cursing!"

Li Yao quickly took screenshots and sent them to Xu Mingchuan.

[Li Yao: Hot search and marketing accounts, did Boss Xu buy them out?]

[Xu Mingchuan: No, this was not part of my plan.]

[Li Yao: Then who was it? The marketing accounts suddenly changed their tune.]

[Xu Mingchuan: Perhaps the wind has changed. Qin Wei's reputation has improved, netizens' attitude towards her is becoming more favorable...The marketing accounts just want to capitalize on the hype. I just took a look, most of the comments below are beneficial to Qin Wei. This means they followed the right trend. For us, it may be time to start turning things around.]
