The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 173

Qin Wei returned from her morning jog and saw that Qiao Sixiao was already up. She was sitting at the dining table reading a script while the table remained empty, with only a glass of water on it.

Qin Wei looked at her, and she also lifted her head to look back at Qin Wei. The two of them stared at each other from across the dining table.

Qin Wei: "..."

Qiao Sixiao: "..."

Qin Wei conceded first and immediately walked away:

"I'll go fry some eggs."

"Use butter, fully cooked, put lettuce in the whole wheat toast, two shrimp, and..."

"Oh, be quiet."

Qin Wei protested as she walked out of the kitchen.

During this time of preparing breakfast, Qin Wei discovered that the reason why Qiao Sixiao is able to live every day like an immortal while eating so little at formal meals is entirely because her rich and nutritious breakfast combinations ensure she doesn't starve.

If it was Qin Wei, aside from needing to eat her fill in the morning, she would also have to replenish some carbohydrates or protein at lunch. She could only occasionally eat less to control her weight, but wouldn't be able to persist for too many days, otherwise she wouldn't have any energy throughout the entire day.

With these thoughts, Qin Wei brought the freshly made breakfast over and served another cup of black coffee.

Qiao Sixiao put down her script and casually said thank you to her maid, Qin Wei. She then slowly began to enjoy her breakfast.

They had agreed on this earlier - Qiao Sixiao would discuss acting with her at night, and in exchange, she would have to wake up early and make breakfast for Qiao Sixiao.

One month. Holidays and days off would be postponed.

Moreover, it had to cater to her preferences.

Qin Wei was also very self-aware. Every morning after waking up she would go jogging first before returning to make breakfast. However, Qiao Sixiao was truly annoying. The variety of things she wanted to eat for breakfast was excessive, yet the quantity for every ingredient also had to be little.

Therefore, Qin Wei planned to prepare enough for five people, but the other three rejected at the start, first off because they felt (Qin Wei's cooking might not necessarily taste good) no risk no reward, and secondly because they didn't want to disturb the harmonious tranquility of the two dining.

Of course, this last point was mainly what Sun Tiantian thought, and she demanded that the other two think the same way.

"It's another beautiful morning..."

Sun Tiantian picked up her camera with an upturned corner of her mouth, and took a picture of these two.

"Snap-"

Qin Wei reflexively turned her head, but in the end didn't see anything. She thought she was having hallucinations, so asked Qiao Sixiao:

"Is someone secretly taking pictures of us outside?"

Qiao Sixiao took a sip of coffee and slowly said to her:

"Sometimes I feel like Sun Tiantian is wasting her talent being an actress. She's skilled in directing, editing, filming - she'll excel in anything behind the scenes. It'd be good if she gets a chance to switch over in the future."

It was odd to suddenly talk about Sun Tiantian, but Qin Wei also felt it made sense.

...

After breakfast everyone trained as usual. There were no training sessions scheduled after class today, but the staff still called Qin Wei over for an interview. Qin Wei kept pushing it away and refusing, but her refusal was invalid.

After getting her makeup done, Qin Wei was led upstairs by the staff, winding left and right until they reached a relatively narrow room. Filming equipment was placed inside, without even a place to sit.

"Please bear with it instructor Qin, the conditions are a bit crude..."

Although it was strange, there was nothing that couldn't be overcome.

Qin Wei nodded and entered the room.

After a simple setup of the equipment, the interview officially began.

The host was standing next to the camera and started asking:

"Instructor Qin, do you feel this interview is suddenly sprung on you?"

Qin Wei shrugged her shoulders:

"I'm already starting to get used to it. It's not considered sudden for me."

"Then what do you think our purpose for interviewing you today is?"

The host continued asking.

What else could it be...

Qin Wei felt a little numb from the barrage of interviews over this time period. After carefully thinking about it, the things worth bringing up and talking about these past few days were nothing more than those few matters.

Qin Wei smiled:

"Is it to publicize the show? Or get on the hot search trends? Or maybe read fanfiction? I even brought my glasses today, just missing Qiao Sixiao."

Upon hearing this, the host also couldn't help but laugh. Most of the hot search trends about her online during this time were negative - some scolded her for using Qiao Sixiao to bait fans, some scolded her for not pandering to fans' shipping preferences, and even more scolded her for writing trashy fiction to gain eyeballs through sensationalism. There were even more peculiar, personal subjective judgments.

They couldn't get her looks, yet fans boasted daily about her visuals hitting the ceiling.

No self-discipline in her private affairs.

Questionable character, acting like an overbearing celebrity throwing her weight around.

At least slightly touched in the head with mental illness.

Using charity work to polish her public image, treating charity events as traffic boosters.

And many more such comments. As her fanbase grew larger, the number of people who disliked her grew as well.

Fans provided her with peaceful tranquility, but the reality was what exactly...

In an instant, the host also thought of many things.

He sighed lightly, and smiled at Qin Wei:

"Maybe it's just that fans want to see you?"

Qin Wei tilted her head and looked at him, seemingly wanting to wait for his explanation.

The host continued on, "Do you have anything you want to say to them? Such as expectations, or anything else you feel like saying."

Qin Wei froze for a bit - what trap is this?

So she waved her hand, "I don't have any expectations. I'm not their parents after all..."

Host: "..."

Host: "But you are their idol. In their hearts, you are the light. Every sentence you say, they will take very seriously. They definitely want to hear your expectations for them. Since you have the opportunity to say something to them, just say what's on your mind without reservation!"

I see, so that's how it is.

If it's this important, she definitely had to say it seriously.

Qin Wei stood up straight, faced the camera and very earnestly said:

"I expect them to have a proactive attitude towards life. They need to be level-headed in looking at life, yet also face life positively. They need to choose the right approach when handling all kinds of issues that come up in life;

Pay attention to every little thing in life, and steadily work towards realizing your goals step-by-step;

Cherish life, and when facing difficulties or setbacks, also maintain an optimistic attitude. You must believe that life is beautiful. When issues come up, think it through and let go. Be magnanimous in temperament. Through practice, continuously adjust your mentality and temper your willpower. Only then can you own your life;

Use an open and driven attitude to welcome life's challenges. Use your own hard work to reap life's meaning. Be unremitting in self-improvement, never giving up. Be dynamic and vibrant, and let your future shine bright..."

The host was stunned speechless, temporarily at a loss for whether he should interrupt.

"...Create a meaningful life, uphold ideals and convictions. Cherish your homeland. Become an aspiring youth of this era - one who has ideals, capability and sense of responsibility."

Fortunately Qin Wei also didn't ramble on endlessly.

That's all for now.

Host: "..."

Qin Wei smiled awkwardly, realizing her problem, "I didn't control the pacing well. Had a bit too much that I wanted to say. During post-production editing...please help condense the key points..."

The host laughed and shook his head:

"I'm afraid it may be too late for that..."

Qin Wei: "???"

Could it be...broadcasting live??

If that's the case then things have gone horribly wrong - recently the people scolding her would just have one more thing to add:

"Trashy character, dimwitted, long winded af."

Just as she was about to say something to make up for it, she saw the staff walk in and start dismantling the walls around them.

"Huh???"

Qin Wei watched them busily working in a daze - so this cramped room was actually partitioned off with boards!

As the "walls" were carried off and the filming equipment removed one by one, she finally realized she was inside one of the studio's other broadcast halls. The "interview" she did in front of the cameras had been live broadcasted this whole time on the big screen behind her.

Qin Wei guessed correctly that her interview was indeed streamed live.

At the same time - while the seating downstairs wasn't a lot, it was now completely filled up.

The host said, "Did all of you hear Qin Wei's expectations for you?"
