Chapter 465 - 465: Si Fuqing: Just Wait (1)
Translator: _Min_
After ending the call, the woman set down her glass of red wine and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Her reflection in the massive glass pane showed her unemotional eyes.
She methodically armed herself with daggers, and even the crystal high heels she wore could serve as deadly weapons.
Not until she picked up a gun.
Beneath the handle of the gun was engraved a number.
Nine.
The woman slowly grasped the handle, her gaze finally showing a flicker of emotion, “Little Nine…”
Time indeed flew by swiftly; three years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Yet, she still couldn’t believe that the violent little junior sister, always by her side on missions, would die in an explosion caused by an experimental accident.
How cautious her little junior sister had been, she knew all too well from their countless work together with the second senior brother.
In their sect, only rankings mattered, not real names.
Real names could only be extracted among fellow disciples, a testament to one’s ability.
She and the second senior brother had been outsmarted by their little junior sister, a feat even the big senior brother hadn’t achieved.
Conversely, none of the senior disciples managed to uncover the little junior sister’s real name.
Despite all precautions, the unthinkable had occurred.
The second senior brother didn’t believe it and had been investigating for three years, but all clues pointed to a mere experimental accident.
Their master had since gone into seclusion, never to emerge again.
The Free State had undergone monumental changes.
The woman secured the gun and tapped her earpiece, “Alright, I’ll head directly into the banquet. You guys wait outside. We’re moving out, and Zero will surely respond. Be alert.”
After giving her instructions, she pondered seriously about a new and interesting way to infiltrate the event.
The next day.
Just three days after the establishment of Si Fuqing’s studio, new promotional materials were released.
[@SiFuqingStudioV: Fresh photos of Fuqing, please check them out, dear fans.]
Besides a few life shots, there was also an image featuring traditional Great Xia beauty products like rouge boxes and flower-patterned makeup.
Such style was unmistakably that of Falling Spring.
Falling Spring’s official Weibo also confirmed this collaboration.
[Ah, Falling Spring! My favorite national brand!]
[Sister Sang is truly commendable, securing another endorsement for our dear Qingqing so quickly.]
[I knew it! I heard this endorsement was previously considered for Bie Yunxi, who has a pure appearance more suitable for traditional styles. But, wow, no one does it like Sister Sang.]
[Hilarious, with Sister Sang around, we don’t worry about Qingqing not being active.]
[Looking forward to more and better opportunities for our Qingqing!]
Fans quickly pushed the hashtag #SiFuqingFallingSpring to the top of the trending searches.
While other idols needed to resort to paid promotions and marketing accounts to trend,
Si Fuqing could easily hit the top ten of the entertainment search rankings with just a new selfie.
Meng Xue watched as Si Fuqing’s Weibo followers grew, almost catching up to her own, and took a deep breath before tossing her phone away.
Since her debut, she had always had a smooth career.
Granted, she was still on the rise and couldn’t be compared to the veterans. But being overshadowed by Si Fuqing in just a few days,
Meng Xue pursed her lips, unable to hold back, “Brother Zhou, Si Fuqing, she…”
“Don’t ask me; I’m also clueless,” Brother Zhou was equally baffled, “How did she catch Sang Yanqing’s eye?”
Though Tong Luoyun and Xu Lingchu were bit players before meeting Sang Yanqing, at least they were professionally trained actors with inherent acting skills.
Why would Sang Yanqing bother with a variety show celebrity?
Meng Xue’s nails dug into her palm.
She couldn’t understand.
Previously, just a look from her at Si Fuqing felt like a favor to Si Fuqing, but now, she found herself envying Si Fuqing.
How come she wasn’t the one noticed by Sang Yanqing?
Her phone rang at that moment, and Brother Zhou answered, “Hello?” Whatever was said on the other end,
“Hello? Okay, okay,” Brother Zhou’s expression changed multiple times, “Understood.”
After hanging up, he let out a long sigh of relief, his brows unfurled, smiling, “Xue, you don’t have to worry anymore. Starting tomorrow, Si Fuqing will no longer be a part of the entertainment industry.”
Meng Xue’s pupils constricted sharply, ‘What do you mean, Brother Zhou?”
“She was too proud, too stubborn. Taking 1.8 billion from Tianle Media, did you think she could get away unscathed?” Brother Zhou chuckled, “You’ve been with Tianle Media long enough to know their methods. They have a hundred ways to make Si Fuqing silently disappear from the entertainment industry..”
