The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 84: First Meal, Hot Pot



Chapter 84

Everyone was glad that it was only a five-minute drive from the TV station building to the villa area. After getting off the car and walking for a few more minutes, they arrived at Villa F.

As soon as they opened the door, they could smell the fragrant hot pot broth on the dining table in the living room.

The table was full of fresh vegetables and raw meat. The program team had prepared four hot pots, which, together with the joined dining tables, could easily seat fourteen people.

"Wow, the program team is so thoughtful!"

Seeing the cozy villa environment and the thoughtfully prepared hot pot, everyone finally believed what the program team said about "not bad living conditions."

It was quite nice indeed. The villa was big, but counting both floors, there were only four bedrooms in total.

Four bedrooms for fourteen people...

How would they split up?

Everyone probably thought of this problem, and after looking around the rooms, they all fell silent.

Sun Tiantian had read through everyone's profiles, so although they were not familiar with each other, she roughly knew who was who. Therefore, she said:

"Why don't...the two teachers choose first..."

When she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Wei and Lin Qiqi at the same time.

At this moment, the live stream in the living room was commenting:

【Wow, Sun Tiantian is so careful! She doesn't dare say anyone's name directly】

【If she said Qin Wei and Lin Qiqi, Lin's fans would complain why Qiqi was named after a smaller celebrity. If she said Lin Qiqi and Qin Wei, Qin's fans would argue Lin is also a minor celebrity with less fame than Qin, so why was she named after Qin?】

【Tiantian should have said: Lin and Qin, in alphabetical order, the order does not imply seniority】

【This is already good, Tiantian is trying her best to pour oil on troubled waters】

...

Lin Qiqi nodded and said politely:

"Thank you everyone, I'm fine with any room."

She said that, but still pulled her suitcase into the three-person room on the first floor.

It was Qin Wei's turn. She didn't speak. When she realized everyone was waiting for her, she swallowed and thought to herself - surely when Tiantian said "teacher" she didn't mean her? So she waved her hand:

"No need to call me teacher, I'm not qualified."

The livestream comments exploded:

【Traditional! Art!】

【Qin! Wei! Carries! Cauldron!】

【Power! Move! Mountain! Spirit! Cover! World!】

【You can see they are not worldly wise, they find Qin's daily routine so amazing】

【Qin can also fix tricycles, would scare you to death】

【Qin can chug a bottle of water in two gulps】

【Pfft, Qin can finish a bowl of noodles in one minute】

【xdm, stop extolling Qin's awesomeness in public!】

So the screen filled up with "Qin Awesome".

The directors were also watching the livestreams of each villa at the moment, and Villa F was the liveliest.

It was just normal room distribution...

"Little Liu,"

"Yes Director Li?"

"Go take a look at the livestream commentary of Villa F. What do they all mean? I don't see anything special, why are the netizens so excited?"

...

Three minutes later, Qin Wei came back downstairs. Seeing everyone still standing in their original spots, she felt strange:

"Aren't you going to move your luggage and pick beds?"

Only then did everyone come back to their senses. They went to grab their luggage and choose rooms.

Qin Wei even took the initiative to help carry luggage for the girls who picked upstairs rooms. They frantically declined out of fright.

No matter how popular she was, Qin Wei was still Qin Wei. They rarely had a chance to meet her, who dared to make her their bellhop?

But Qin Wei still insisted on carrying several suitcases upstairs.

Someone asked her: "Weiwei, how come you're so strong..."

Qin Wei sighed. Her great strength was already legendary in the industry for some time now, with both praise and criticism. She felt helpless about this - surely not all girls couldn't carry a bucket of water?

"It's not that I'm strong, it's that you're all too weak."

After everyone picked their beds, they suddenly realized Qin Wei had chosen the four-person room upstairs.

She could have picked better...

Some of them changed their impression of Qin Wei a little.

After everyone finished moving, Lin Qiqi finally came out from her room, completely oblivious to what just happened outside. Coming out, she even complained:

"I've never stayed in group dorms before. Don't know if I can adapt..."

But no one responded to her attempt at conversation. They had all sat down in their chosen spots, ready to eat hotpot together.

However, moving luggage together earlier had brought them closer unconsciously, although they still spoke very politely, it was less awkward than when they first met.

Livestream comments:

【Feels like two groups of seven have formed already, the atmosphere changed for those upstairs】

【These group activities can promote relationships】

【Lin Qiqi still doesn't seem to know what's going on...】

【She's never stayed in a dorm, did she live in a courtyard in her drama <Peach Spring>?】

【The hotpot smells so good...I want to eat hotpot too...】

...

After the meal, it seemed everyone was a little more familiar. Lin Qiqi went back to shower first, with a face mask on. Of course, those rooming with Qin Wei asked if she wanted to shower first.

"You guys go first, I still want to play on my phone for a bit."

After speaking, Qin Wei went to sit on the sofa. She hadn't touched her phone all day and felt a little antsy.

Check the hot search first...

Damnit, she was trending again -

#QinWeiFClass#

#QinWeiPourFirst#

#QinWeiDazed#

#QinWeiQiaoXiao#

...

The first three were normal trends for her...

But what was the fourth about?

She clicked in to take a look. It was a video -

[QinWei x QiaoXiao cp "I don't want to miss you in this life"]

Qin Wei: "???"

What kind of ridiculous title was this? She didn't even want to open it...

She messaged Li Yao...

【Little Ancestor VV: All is well, back in the dorm】

【Li Yao: You're on livestream! Pay attention to facial expressions at all times! Don't smile foolishly at your phone!】

Only then did Qin Wei remember there was a 24-hour livestream in the living room.

Hard to keep that in mind at all times.

Livestream comments:

【Why did that silly goose Lu'e suddenly look at the camera!?】

【Is she looking at us!? Can she see the comments?】

【So she didn't know we were livestreaming this whole time hahahaha】

【A comedian's daily life】

...

After showering, Lin Qiqi came out wearing silk pajamas, with a face mask on. She was also holding a book.

"Xuanxuan, Yuewen, I'm done with my shower, you guys should go too."

She was always aware of the livestream in the living room, so she was extra polite.

After speaking, she sat on the sofa and opened the book on her lap to read.

Qin Wei had been on the show "Stars" where she was often seen reading a book, looking cultured. Her passion for reading was also very popular online.

Taking advantage of the livestream, Lin Qiqi also wanted to present her best side and win back some favor with netizens. Therefore, she specifically asked her assistant to select a book that would showcase her artistic side and depth,

Livestream comments:

【One's reading, one's playing Fight the Landlord, the difference is obvious】

【Haha Qin probably is losing, her phone says "can't afford"】

【What book is Lin Qiqi reading?】

【Green cover, with Russian and Chinese, and some circular dark pattern - if I'm not wrong, it's the Karamazov Brothers published by Shanghai Translation Press, a Dostoevsky work. Lin Qiqi has taste! I thought she didn't like reading, truly can't judge by appearances】

【The genius above! One look at the cover and know what book it is, I've never even heard of it】

【All I know is Man Too Young [crying laughing emoji]】
