This is not how it should be.
Yu Linwan felt her life shouldn't be this way!
Looking at the trending searches related to Xia Qingtian on the screen, and witnessing the success of Gu Shi Entertainment, Yu Linwan's gaze became increasingly frantic and complex.
Having not slept all night, Yu Linwan made a desperate decision: to replicate a Xia Qingtian!
If Gu Shi Entertainment was launching a dating reality show, she would launch one too. If Xia Qingtian played with a harem and posed as a wealthy socialite, she would have someone follow suit.
She refused to believe that copying homework wouldn't make her popular!
Face, compared to Wanqing Entertainment, all of it was no longer important!
She had to hold on, endure this period, and everything would get better!
With this thought, Yu Linwan urgently contacted several high-level executives to schedule a meeting.
They absolutely had to nurture a "Little Xia Qingtian" as quickly as possible!
As long as they poured enough resources into it, they could surely regain popularity!
Following behind the trending capital and sipping the soup was enough for Wanqing Entertainment to make a substantial profit.
Most importantly, even if the puppet they nurtured couldn't surpass Xia Qingtian in popularity, as long as it could disgust Xia Qingtian, Yu Linwan felt it was worth it!
At this moment, Yu Linwan was completely consumed by jealousy and madness.
Meanwhile, having just finished watching the variety show, Xia Qingtian logged into her account and posted a photo.
On the left was her, smiling beautifully, and on the right was Xia Qingyu, holding a book and partially covering her face, appearing a bit shy.
She added a caption: "Dragged my sister along to watch the show with me. 'Heartbeat First Step,' are you moved yet~"
Soon, a large number of comments appeared below.
"Woman, please stop radiating your charm!"
"Qingtian's eyes are so beautiful, she's estimated to be a little beauty too~"
"Sister, please take care of me for the first time, I'm your brother-in-law!"
"The above are just dreaming! Sister's brother-in-law is clearly from our Meina!"
"Good heavens, running into CP fans here too! And they're flaunting it in front of the main character, is that really okay?"
"Ahhh! Did no one notice the background behind Xia Qingtian! This is a mansion!"
"As expected! This woman is not simple!"
"It's been so long, why hasn't anyone dug anything up yet? @Xia Qingtian Anti-fan Committee Chairman v, are you even capable? Hurry up and cause trouble!"
"@Xia Qingtian Anti-fan Committee Chairman v, when are you guys causing trouble!"
"@Xia Qingtian Anti-fan Committee Chairman v."
...
Xia Honglang, who had just finished his work and was about to rest, noticed that the computer in his study kept popping up notifications. Only then did he realize he had forgotten to log out of his previous account.
After logging in and taking a look around, Xia Honglang nodded, thinking that it was indeed time for the anti-fan committee to start causing trouble.
He checked the group chat and found that everyone else was also discussing this matter. Those who had been paid had already set a date.
"I've obtained insider information. Starting tomorrow, Xia Qingtian will be participating in the recording of 'The Best Intern' at Gu Shi Entertainment's headquarters. On the last day, we will all gather at the entrance of Gu Shi Entertainment."
"I will have people print flyers, posters, and banners. Additionally, we have already contacted reporters. This time, we have sufficient evidence. Everyone can rest assured, we will definitely make Xia Qingtian get kicked out of the entertainment industry within a week!"
"Okay!" Seeing the other person's confidence, everyone cheered along.
Xia Honglang nodded and posted a message on his account.
"Xia Qingtian Anti-fan Committee Chairman v: One week countdown until Xia Qingtian leaves the entertainment industry."
Seeing this message, netizens became completely excited.
This was going to be a big event!
Was it finally time to dig into Xia Qingtian?
So exciting!
At the same time, Xia Qingtian, having just finished bathing and deciding to put on a face mask before sleeping, received a call from Wen Ning.
"The official recording starts at 9 AM tomorrow. Are you coming to Gu Shi Entertainment yourself, or should I send the driver to pick you up?" Wen Ning asked.
"Huh?" Xia Qingtian only then remembered that she had a recording for 'The Best Intern.'
The thought of going to Gu Shi, and possibly encountering Mr. Gu, made Xia Qingtian feel uneasy.
However, she wasn't the one who had lied. Why should she avoid him?
Besides, she had already arranged for Li Xiaoxiao to go. If she slipped away herself, what about Li Xiaoxiao?
This time, it might also involve Li Xiaoxiao's kidnapping. Xia Qingtian had to go, even if it meant facing her fears.
"I'll come by myself," Xia Qingtian said. "I'll bring my friend with me then."
"Okay." Wen Ning knew Xia Qingtian was capable, so she didn't say anything further.
Wen Ning didn't want to get too involved in the matters between Mr. Gu and Xia Qingtian. She maintained a strictly professional attitude, reminded Xia Qingtian of a few precautions, and then hung up.
Xia Qingtian then scratched the back of her head and sighed heavily.
Afterward, she put on her face mask and went to bed as usual.
No matter what, work came first.
She was a woman who was going to conquer the world on her own. Men would only slow down her progress.
The next morning, Xia Qingtian appeared before the Xia family with a proper makeup and a slightly casual suit. After borrowing a driver from Xia Honglang, Xia Qingtian took Xia Honglang's car to pick up Li Xiaoxiao, and then they both appeared in front of the Gu Shi Entertainment building.
At this moment, cameras were already set up and filming.
Li Xiaoxiao felt a bit nervous standing beside Xia Qingtian. Two other groups of artists were also present for the filming.
One was an old acquaintance of Xia Qingtian, whom she had met in "Best Partners." He later signed with Gu Shi Entertainment with his wife and served as the martial arts director for "The Most Cherished Spring in Flowers and Moon" – the veteran artist Wu Hailong.
The other was Qiu Xinxue, who had interacted with Xia Qingtian quite a bit before.
The partner Wu Hailong brought was his friend's son, and also a new artist signed by his wife Wei Ling, thus giving him an opportunity for an appearance.
The person Qiu Xinxue brought was an elegant beauty with an intellectual demeanor, with blonde hair and blue eyes. At first glance, she looked even more refined than a doll in a display window.
From the moment Xia Qingtian appeared, her gaze was fixed on Xia Qingtian, and the smile on her lips was somewhat subtle.
"Don't be too obvious," Qiu Xinxue noticed this scene, nudged the person beside her, and said softly, "We can't move her for now."
"Can't kill her, right..." The woman's lips moved slightly, she avoided the camera and smiled faintly, saying in a voice only they could hear, "Don't worry, I'm targeting Gu Shi Entertainment's technology department. I won't act rashly until I get what I want."
If it weren't for the sudden success of China's new energy experiments and the news that Gu Shi Entertainment had secured cooperation qualifications for national secret energy, she wouldn't have bothered coming to such a backward country.
Even the air exuded a poor and stingy scent of technological scarcity.
