But in the Daxia Empire, the one who can keep the box office crowded was only one person: Qu Lingyun.
Every film he directed sold out theaters the moment it hit cinemas. He had never failed.
As for Yun Lan—he was a legend, not even on the same playing field.
The producer knew Tianle Media hadn’t given Si Fuqing any endorsements or scripts.
The only reason she got the dance mentor role in the first place was because they wanted her to face mass online hate.
Her resources were terrible, yet somehow she played a bad hand brilliantly.
“Mentor Si, you’ve carried too much through all of this.” The producer looked at her with deep sympathy. I’ll do whatever I can to get you some opportunities. You’re going to be a superstar!”
He and the director had seen with their own eyes everything she had done for the program.
Now, the producer was starting to realize why she had seemed so out of place at first.
It had to be Tianle Media forcing her hand.
Si Fuqing slowly lifted her head, “…”
Had this guy… misunderstood something completely?
“Please don’t.” She raised a hand to stop him. “If I wanted jobs, I would’ve taken them already. Oh, right—about the finale night, I’ve prepared dance costumes for my students, so the show doesn’t need to worry about that.”
The producer nodded quickly, “Alright, we’ll follow Mentor Si’s lead on everything.”
Si Fuqing stretched lazily, lost in thought.
Qu Lingyun’s intelligence was something she had never counted on—just saying a few casual words was enough to fool him.
But with Gu Wenzhu’s ability to make decisions, as soon as Lan finished making the two sets of dance costumes she needed and she sent over the delivery address, Gu Wenzhu would immediately know who she was.
The old man wasn’t so easy to trick.
Still, luckily Gu Wenzhu was very laid-back. He wouldn’t force her to work. If she got exposed, then so be it.
Si Fuqing felt a bit lighter.
She gazed blankly at the clouds outside the window until the ringing of her phone broke the silence.
Si Fuqing picked up, “Boss?”
“Mm.” Yu Xiheng spoke. “The trending topic isn’t dropping. The extreme remarks from your haters are all under monitoring.”
After a pause, a faint smile carried through his voice, the cool tone exceptionally pleasant to the ear, “Go all out.”
Just those three words from him outweighed a thousand others.
Si Fuqing’s eyes froze.
She lowered her head, and a distant voice echoed in her ears.
—Qingqing, go all out. We’ll always have your back.
Si Fuqing lifted her head, blinking lightly.
But Sister, none of you are here anymore.
She had grown, but the people around her had disappeared one by one.
This kind of price was not one she had ever wanted to pay.
She clenched her fingers, feeling the taut pull of her muscles, then finally relaxed her brows and eyes. Her voice was laid-back, “Boss, you said you were trying on clothes today. Where are the photos?”
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then the photos came through on WeChat.
Si Fuqing looked them over while giving commentary, “Feng San’s photography skills are terrible. Good thing, Boss, your looks and figure are top-notch. Dock his pay!”
“That’s right! My photography’s good, but Uncle Jiu wouldn’t let me come.” Yu Tang’s voice cut in. “Qingqing, hurry up and fix Uncle Jiu up. Buy him more clothes, swipe his card. Don’t hold back, he’s loaded!”
Yu Xiheng spoke, his tone unreadable, “Yu Tang.”
Yu Tang scrambled away, “Ahhh I’m off to work out, I can’t hear anything!”
The call ended. Si Fuqing saved all the photos, rested for a while, then went back to the dance studio to continue squeezing work out of Xu Xiyun.
**
This time, the uproar was huge. The trending topic stayed pinned at the top.
There was even a dedicated commentator who posted this on Weibo—
[So we stan idols just for their agencies to decide their careers?]
The post had already racked up tens of thousands of comments and reposts.
The comments section was full of criticism.
Feng Peizhi was called into Manager Luo’s office. When she realized it was about Si Fuqing again, she was so angry her head started to ache.
“Have you heard?” Manager Luo said coolly. “I can already see it. This artist under you—she’s completely unmanageable. With her EQ, she’s not cut out for the entertainment industry. She’ll just offend too many people. You can give up on her.”
In the entertainment world, plenty of artists built their brand on being “straightforward.” Cen Xiaosi, for example.
But what Si Fuqing was doing wasn’t straightforward. It was stupidity!
Feng Peizhi’s heart sank. “You mean…?”
