The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 42: Harsh Reality



Chapter 42

"If your family conditions are so good, don't go back. The sinister infighting in domestic entertainment industry is not worth it," Qin Wei said sincerely, leaving you unable to doubt whether she had any ulterior motives.

To be honest, Gu Minghua didn't understand.

"You are in it, yet you say it's 'not worth it'?"

Qin Wei nodded and was about to say something when Liu Xin walked over. She didn't continue and got up to say to Gu Minghua:

"I won't see you off. Have a nice trip."

She smiled at him, but her smile contained some helplessness. Gu Minghua didn't say much either. He packed up his luggage and left.

When old teammates leave, new ones will come in. During the recording period, the program team also posted a Weibo online for everyone to guess who it was.

The only clue given was:

"A man."

【Grass】

【Is the program team monkeying around online? This clue is useless.】

【Could it be...Shen Kai...Some marketing accounts said they saw his agent and an investor of "Stars" go out for dinner, maybe it's for this】

【Impossible. Shen the superstar has never done variety shows before. Hug away but don't cue】

【Fans only recognize official announcements. Please pay more attention to KK's new drama】

...

The program team kept it secret. Not only did netizens not know who it was, even several team members didn't know.

Chen Chen browsed a crew member's phone for a while, then asked others:

"It is said that a new member will join. Who do you guess is the one with the highest voice on the Internet?"

Everyone was silent and looked at Qin Wei.

Qin Wei put down her book and looked innocent:

"Why are you looking at me? Don't tell me it's Shen Kai again?"

Qin Wei regretted a little. She didn't take it seriously when Shen Qingqing mentioned this person before. She couldn't remember who he was after she went back and didn't even bother looking him up. As a result, she still didn't know who he was now that they mentioned him again during the trip abroad. She felt a little uneasy seeing everyone's astonished and hesitant expressions...

Could this person have some serious relationship with Qin Wei?!?!?

With this sentence, she almost ruined all the goodwill she had accumulated with the public. After the show aired, countless people scolded her, but the good thing was that it generated hype and increased ratings —

【How shameless is Qin Wei? They broke up so long ago, yet she still relies on her ex for clout. Is it that hard to be independent? 】

【She even calls him Shen Kai brother? Disgusting. If I were Shen Kai, I'd want to kick her.】

【Shut up. Stop saying "ex" again and again. KK has never admitted to having a girlfriend. They only cooperated briefly back then and the hype went wild. You don't know what kind of style her studio has? Coupling up is their specialty. Whoever touches it is finished.】

【Fans don't recognize any of KK's rumored girlfriends unless officially announced!】

【Did that incident of her going to a hotel with another man back then have no follow up? No accountability?】

【What is it? Were they ever together or not?】

...

Chen Chen sincerely admired Qin Wei for being so fierce and daring to say anything in front of the camera. He then nodded:

"His voice is the loudest now. I'm actually looking forward to it if it's really him!"

Liu Xin couldn't help laughing. She knew clearly who it was, but couldn't say due to the confidentiality agreement. She could only tell everyone:

"You'll see tomorrow. Won't there be an answer by then?"

...

The Star Team's second stop was the famous ancient city of Rome in Europe. After a three-hour flight, the team of five finally arrived and met the new team member at the airport.

He was a tall, thin man wearing casual clothes. A baseball cap and sunglasses covered most of his face.

He waved at the team of five while taking off his sunglasses.

"Li Hanming!"

Qin Wei recognized him at a glance. He was that obedient boy she had just cooperated with recently. She didn't expect to see him again so soon!

Li Hanming also saw her. He smiled and walked over to take Qin Wei's suitcase from her:

"Teacher Qin, let me."

Liu Xin jokingly mocked:

"Yo, little guy, you're the new team member? You only have eyes for Sister Qin Wei and not the other sisters?"

She had nothing to be wary of with him. Whatever she wanted to say, she just said it. Her agent had sent her a text message saying that this boy named Li Hanming, like Sheng Lin, was also an artist under Pioneer Entertainment.

His small company's boss was very humble towards Sheng Shi Entertainment. Therefore, she could casually order around artists from his company during the trip, as long as she didn't go too far on camera.

So unlike the great talent Gu Minghua, Liu Xin didn't take artists from Pioneer Entertainment seriously at all. She kept making Sheng Lin do things for her throughout the journey, and it was no exception for Li Hanming now.

Li Hanming obviously lacked experience. After hearing her words, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should take the initiative to help carry her luggage, since he still had to carry his own stuff with one hand.

Just as he was hesitating, Qin Wei took the suitcase from him. As she walked, she said to him:

"I appreciate your kindness, but having others carry luggage affects my independent woman image. I'll carry it myself!"

Liu Xin was so angry her teeth itched. Isn't this scolding her obliquely? Since when did Qin Wei have the image of an independent woman? It was always Liu Xin and her team that had been building an independent female image for her.

She was clearly mocking her!!!

Li Hanming was confused. He watched Qin Wei walk ahead first, and could only look back at Liu Xin. Reluctantly, he came over:

"Ms. Liu, let me carry your luggage..."

"No need!"

Liu Xin spoke harshly out of anger, scaring Li Hanming. She also regretted it a little and immediately softened her tone. She half-jokingly said:

"Who isn't an independent woman?"

【I feel like she's bullying the little brother...】

【Be more confident. Take out "feel like". She is deliberately making things difficult for the little brother. The innocent little brother just wanted to get to know Sister Qin Wei and help carry luggage for the big sister. He didn't think too much about it. Liu Xin just watched the fun after saying that. She obviously didn't take our little brother seriously.】

【I didn't expect it was Qin Wei who came to his rescue. The two of them got along quite happily last time. The sister-brother duo is pretty fun.】

【Protect the best Hanming little brother!】

...

Compared to London, it was more difficult here. No one in the team had been to Rome before and everything here was unfamiliar.

But after all, it was a tourist city. As tourists, there were always ways to get around.

The six of them walked into the airport lobby and saw seven or eight people holding flowers and gifts waving at them. Seeing them come over, they looked even more excited.

They must be representatives of some celebrity's overseas fan club.

Most likely it was one of the members of the Star Team.

Liu Xin couldn't help the joy in her heart. The corners of her mouth couldn't help curling up—

She thought it over and figured that Qin Wei's popularity wasn't what it used to be, and all her fan clubs had disbanded. Among them, she, Liu Xin, had the biggest status and was the most well-known.

Ah, the downside of being a celebrity was that it was hard to keep a low profile!
