Cen Xiaosi’s face turned completely green: “……”
She really didn’t know a thing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. She only entered the entertainment industry to get famous quickly and make some money.
Normally, she was quite popular with the older generation. Why was she hitting walls everywhere today?
[Does Cen Xiaosi think her face hasn’t been hurt enough? Why is she still putting it forward to be slapped?]
[That elderly man actually said Qingqing plays chess better than him! So Qingqing really knows how to play! No wonder she’s my wife—she’s good at everything!]
The photographer captured the behind-the-scenes footage he wanted today and stopped filming, very satisfied.
Si Fuqing hadn’t looked at Cen Xiaosi even once the whole time and returned to Jiang Changning’s side.
“Ningning,” she looked up at the sky, “I got hurt again. Why did he get so excited when I mentioned embroidery and even offered to give me a needle and thread? If I’d known, I would’ve just said I’m not interested in anything and that I’m a country bumpkin.”
Jiang Changning’s expression was indifferent: “……”
Someone was doing invisible humblebragging again.
Jiang Changning glanced doubtfully at the old man who was strolling away and adjusted the sunhat on Si Fuqing’s head.
Why did she feel like she had seen that old man somewhere before?
It couldn’t have been at home, right?Not many people had visited her house.
“By the way, what promo video are we filming this time?” Si Fuqing looked around. “There seem to be a lot of artisans here. I was thinking of buying a clay figure.”
“It’s a cultural heritage promo,” Jiang Changning nodded. “This place used to be the former headquarters of the Tiandi Alliance, so many craftsmen have gathered here. I was even wondering if the old man who played chess with you might be part of Tiandi Alliance.”
Among the Four Great Alliances, except for the Miracle Doctor Alliance which has yet to be confirmed to exist, the other three have been well-documented in history.
Though times have changed, the alliances have remained, only adopting new names.
Tiandi Alliance now has a more familiar name to the public—
The Arts and Culture Association.
Historical records state: “Emperor Yin could calm the world with a pen and conquer it on horseback.”
Tiandi Alliance recruited scholars and literary figures from all over, gathering countless talented individuals.
They never participated in warfare, guarding instead the inheritance of culture.
“I see,” Si Fuqing nodded thoughtfully. “The old man’s chess skills were indeed impressive… just a little too enthusiastic.”
She had almost been overwhelmed.
“Let’s get ready,” Jiang Changning said. “We’ll probably have to try our hands at making clay figures or something later.”
She sighed.
She could manage farming, but when it came to music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she really wasn’t cut out for it.
She decided to just stand behind Jiang Changning today and lie flat like a salted fish.

Meanwhile, the host had also asked an assistant to contact the manager of the boy band D6 and urged them to come quickly.
D6’s agency was Shengxing Entertainment.
Shengxing Entertainment had a much stronger international presence compared to Tianle Media and was unquestionably the leader in the entertainment industry, having produced many Best Actor and Best Actress winners.
It was also the only entertainment company that had ever worked with Qu Lingyun.
The hotel where the D6 boy band was staying was only a few hundred meters away from this street.
After receiving a call from the event organizers, one of the boys went to knock on the door next to his: “Captain, aren’t you getting up? The organizers are urging us.”
The person in bed was still buried under the covers: “Is Meng Xue not coming?”
“I asked. Meng Xue’s not coming,” the boy scratched his head. “Her resources are way better than the rest of her group, right? Tianle Media is helping her break into the film and television industry. She's filming right now at the movie studio.”
“Then I’m not going,” Chi Yu immediately lost interest. “Might as well use that time to run a couple of dungeons in Oracle.”
The boy knew that Chi Yu was a veteran Oracle player—he’d been playing even before debut.
If he hadn’t been scouted by a talent agent, Chi Yu would most likely have joined a pro gaming training camp, and might even be competing in international eSports tournaments by now.
Oracle was a wildly popular game—a national sensation. Over half of the entertainment industry was playing it. Meng Xue was one of them.
The two had once teamed up in-game to clear dungeons, and Chi Yu had really admired Meng Xue’s gaming skills.
So, when he heard they’d be filming a promo video with Starry Sky Girls, he immediately asked his manager to accept the job.
“But Si Fuqing will be there!” the boy said excitedly.“Captain! She’s Daxia’s national beauty—don’t you want to see her in person?”
“She’s terrible at games. You saw how badly she dragged us down last time,” Chi Yu said from under the covers, clearly annoyed. “She’s nothing compared to Meng Xue.”
