The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 33

Qin Wei said one line to save the whole group. After that, Liu Xin was in a bad mood the whole time, but she also didn't make any more demands. She got on the plane without saying a word, and the others were also happy to relax.

After dozing on and off for more than ten hours on the plane, it finally arrived at its destination. After everyone got off the plane and picked up their luggage, it was already midnight. Because the flight was delayed by an hour, they missed the last shuttle bus, and the earliest bus to the city wouldn't come until 5 am.

In a foreign land, everyone was very tired, and they were at a loss for the moment.

Liu Xin went to discuss with the program team, asking if they could take the program team's car to the hotel.

Of course, the program team bluntly refused. This show was different from Peach Blossom Spring, and the program team was not so easy to talk to. Even if the slightly older Qin Kaili came to sweet talk them, the program team did not budge.

Chen Chen was tired and annoyed at this point. He spoke to the camera angrily, "What should we do then?! Walk back to the city center? We're unfamiliar with this place, it's not as safe as back home. Are we supposed to sit in the airport all night?"

The program team threw in a disclaimer -

Do whatever you want, we're only responsible for filming.

Seeing that Liu Xin's negotiation failed, Qin Wei suggested:

"Let's rent a car. It might be a bit more expensive than the shuttle bus, but it's very convenient to rent a car from the airport to the city. I'll go ask at the information desk now..."

"What's the use of you going? You don't even know English."

Liu Xin blurted out without thinking, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Qin Kaili, who also didn't know English. She quickly added,

"I'll go. You guys all wait here and give me the money."

All the money was with Sheng Lin. He obediently handed the money to Liu Xin and saw her off to the information desk.

Qin Wei was worried, so she followed along.

As soon as Liu Xin reached the information desk, Qin Wei caught up. She heard Liu Xin communicating with the airport staff in extremely awkward English.

She was gesturing with her hands, it was quite lively.

This segment was also filmed by the production team and broadcast in the show -

[Liu Xin's English accent is so funny I'm laughing to death haha]

[Lei ge ling te e ka, laughing to death hahaha]

[Qin Jie is standing behind looking dumbfounded]

[No wonder she didn't want anyone to follow, she has to dance before renting a car hahaha]

After the broadcast, the online comments were full of ridicule for Liu Xin, but some also ridiculed Qin Wei -

[At least Liu Xin can say a few sentences in English, there are so many illiterates in the domestic entertainment industry, Liu Xin is considered decent]

[Qin Wei is an old illiterate, she looks down on others like this, well if she can do better then go ahead! I guess all she can say is hello, thank you, and you]

...

There was also a lot of ridicule for Qin Wei online, although she didn't say anything.

But they didn't know about the online comments at this moment. They just wanted to rent a car and get to the hotel as soon as possible. Exhausted in body and mind, they desperately wanted to sleep.

So seeing Liu Xin communicate so awkwardly, and not understanding what the other person was saying, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. She wanted to help Liu Xin out of the situation.

But before she could open her mouth, Liu Xin stopped her. She turned to Qin Wei very seriously and said:

"Wei Wei, please don't make things worse, okay? Your English is very poor. They have accents when they speak, and I can barely understand it, let alone you."

Qin Wei was confused:

"They have accents? What accents, this is London, and you're talking to Brits!"

Liu Xin's face turned red and white, obviously a bit embarrassed, but she didn't want to admit her mistake either. She stubbornly explained:

"There are class differences in English accents! I usually learn the noble accent, so it's normal that I can't understand the working class accent that well."

Qin Wei was stunned again, at a loss for words to mock her with.

Netizens:

[Is she making up this nonsense about noble accents not understanding working class accents? ]

[Right, even this old illiterate Qin Jie can't stand to hear it hahaha]

[Is Liu Xin's logic based on the differences between southern and northern Chinese dialects? She probably doesn't understand English at all?]

...

Liu Xin impatiently glared at Qin Wei, then turned back to gesture at the staff again.

Qin Wei was also angry at being looked down upon by someone she disliked. Feeling a bit upset, and wanting to rent the car quickly, she went up to the airport staff and started communicating with them in English.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Wei's English pronunciation was standard and fluent. Her conversation with the foreigner went smoothly.

Liu Xin's face went even more ugly.

After seeing this segment, netizens exploded. Originally because of Qin Wei's participation, many were singing the demise of this show, saying the biggest highlight would be Qin Wei's "real embarrassing moments" abroad. No one expected Qin Jie to not embarrass herself at all from the start. Not only that, she also solved the first big problem they faced.

[Oh my god! Qin Jie's English is awesome! Did she secretly take lessons? ]

[Damn, was this specially prepared for the show? Crammed at the last minute? I remember she said her English was not good before, and declined hosting international awards shows because she would be too embarrassed. How things have changed after a few days!]

[I declare Qin Jie to have crushed Liu Xin this time.]

Later, the platform specifically interviewed Qin Wei and asked how her English was so good?

Of course, it was because she had practiced hard in her previous life in order to go abroad. When she first went abroad, she was not a trainee but a regular international student. She had to study the local language for a year first. At that time she didn't know it, so when going out she could only use English. She worked hard to learn it herself, and persisted for a year before grasping two foreign languages.

Later as a trainee, she also learned foreign languages with trainees from other countries. Although she couldn't say she had mastered it, she had no problem with normal daily communication.

But of course she couldn't tell the reporter this, or she would be seen as crazy.

Qin Wei answered:

"Because my English was not good, I missed out on some good opportunities in my career. So I just quietly learned it. I didn't dare to boast about it since I'm not that good, and now I just have a superficial grasp."

Anti-fans:

[Let me translate what Qin Jie said: I just know these few sentences in real life.]

[No need to blindly hate just for the sake of hating!]

The reporter also asked:

"Netizens also compared your English with Liu Xin's at the time, saying your pronunciation was standard while Liu Xin's accent had problems. What do you think about this?"

The reporter was clearly trying to bait her and cause trouble, saying Liu Xin's accent was problematic made Qin Wei seem petty, while saying there was no problem made her seem insincere.

Whether she praised or denigrated Liu Xin, Qin Wei would inevitably get scolded.

Qin Wei was silent, intriguing netizens.

[The reporter is so sharp, I really like her!]

[With Qin Wei's EQ, she'll probably say Liu Xin's accent does have problems. Liu Xin has a lot of fans too, Qin Jie is definitely going to get sniped.]

[Praising her won't work either, passersby will feel Qin Wei is being fake. I feel like our anti-fan squad is going to grow, how wonderful!]

[Let's bet a bag of spicy sticks, I feel Qin Wei will say Liu Xin's accent is no good and she deserved to be mocked.]

[Qin Wei is very humble now, not fighting or snatching anything on Peach Blossom Spring, becoming a bodhisattva. I bet 50 cents that she'll say there's nothing wrong with Liu Xin's accent!]
