Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Fatty, Wang Jinghai, is from the East S1 province. He has a square face and small eyes, is 190cm tall and weighs 220 jin (111 catties). He is a righteous person and comes from a wealthy family, otherwise he would not have chosen this expensive major.

He is indeed quite capable, and his ideas are ahead of their time. Take field research, for example. What looks like huge equipment to others is like a potato chip can in his hands; he handles it with ease and without any effort. The low-budget web series "The Deceitful Strategist" (parts 1-4) that he filmed before graduation garnered over a million views on Eggplant TV, making him quite popular and generating income.

Wang Ning's gaze wasn't on the fat man at all; there was someone else next to the fat man who was even more attractive to him.

Beauty.

Rather, everyone's attention was actually on the "goddess" of male otaku who was next to Wang Jinghai.

Liu Xuesheng, a student in the Performing Arts Department, is in the same year as Bo Bing. She is tall and has long, chestnut-colored wavy hair tied to the side, revealing her face with light smoky makeup. Compared to others, she is dressed more fashionably, wearing color-blocked platform shoes, calf socks, and an A-line pleated skirt. She paired this with a very H-style sporty baseball jacket and striped short-sleeved shirt. No wonder she is considered the goddess of otaku in the department.

The girls she brought were also stylish and beautiful, making all the guys' hearts flutter.

"Holy crap, it's so beautiful," Wang Ning wiped his drool, sat down, and secretly poked Bo Bing's arm. "What do you think?"

"It's alright, quite pretty."

Bo Bing went along with Wang Ning's words and gave a perfunctory reply. He had seen all the most beautiful girls, and seeing these students only brought back memories of his youth. In his opinion, these girls were pretty, but they all seemed like the girl next door, not really stunning.

The young man subtly avoided the man's toes from hooking onto his calf.

"What do you mean by 'not bad'?"

A beautiful woman happened to be bringing over a drink when she heard Bo Bing's comment. She turned back and muttered discontentedly, "What's with this loser pretending to be so cool?"

Bo Bing ignored the slight discomfort and continued chatting with the person next to her.

After drinking around the room, the fat man came over to offer a toast, "Xiao Bing, come on, let's have a drink together."

Bo Bing readily agreed and clinked glasses with the fat man, "Brother Fatty, thank you for taking care of me this year, I'll drink to that."

"I don't deserve it. You've helped me a lot before," Wang Jinghai said without presumption. He downed most of his glass in one gulp and his gaze fell on the man next to Bo Bing. A hint of caution appeared in his eyes. The man's aura was very strong, and he was obviously not someone like himself or his friends who hadn't yet experienced the ways of the world.

He raised his glass to Yin Su, "I am Wang Jinghai, Xiao Bing's senior brother. And this brother is?"

“I’m Bo Bing’s distant cousin. Just call me by my English name, Poppy. Sorry to interrupt your class reunion,” Yin Su said, raising his glass to clink with the fat man’s. “I’ve seen your series of works. The ideas are great. Keep up the good work.”

"You must be the one who came with Xiaobing, right? No need to bother you, I've already invited a lot of people anyway."

Wang Jinghai was somewhat flattered and clinked glasses with Yin Su. The other man held his glass with great elegance, and his demeanor as a superior was evident in his conversation. Having worked in photography and interviews, Wang Jinghai had a keen eye for detail. "Excuse me, are you a model?" he asked.

“I walked the runway a few times when I was studying abroad, and I took over the family business after graduation,” Yin Su answered flawlessly. “This time, I just wanted to invite Xiao Bing to dinner, but I didn’t expect it to coincide with your young people’s gathering.”

"Oh, okay," the fat man scratched his head, wisely ceasing his questioning. "Cousin, Xiao Bing, enjoy your meal and have fun. Order anything you want and have the kitchen bring it to you. I'll go over there for a bit..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman's voice interrupted.

"Sister Xuesheng, Brother Yu, it's them. They just said we're only 'okay-looking'," a slightly arrogant voice rang out. "What do they mean?"

A male voice immediately came from the side, "Okay, I thought he was so handsome, but he's not exactly handsome either."

Bo Bing's hearing was quite good; she could tell that it was the girl who had just been upset who had hit her on the head.

He looked up and realized that he had become the center of attention without even realizing it.

What started as a children's squabble has unexpectedly turned into a time for them to condemn each other. Bo Bing leaned back on the cushions and quietly watched the two acting up.

"Hey, you're not exactly good-looking yourself, how dare you comment on other people's appearances?"

Liu Xuesheng frowned in disapproval, seemingly disliking being judged by others.

Guo Yu was a handsome young man with canine teeth, dark skin, and a rather strong build. He seemed to be from the sports academy, but his way of speaking wasn't so pleasant. He pointed at Bo Bing and said, "Apologize to Zhang Yue."

"sorry."

Bo Bing leaned back on the sofa and apologized almost instantly, "I shouldn't have commented on other people."

"What bad luck."

Guo Yu coldly uttered a sentence.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Is it necessary for you to make a scene?" Wang Ning was the first to disagree and stood up. "Xiao Bing didn't say you were ugly just now. Didn't she say that all the ladies are quite pretty?"

The others weren't particularly close to the elusive Bo Bing, but Bo Bing was always generous and righteous, and people liked him quite a bit. Besides, many people were on good terms with Wang Ning, so they immediately stood up for their brother and tried to persuade him to stop the situation from escalating.

Even Wang Jinghai said to let it go, he knew Xiao Bing wasn't that kind of person, and cursing her for bad luck was going too far—the two groups should just have a toast and calm down.

"What do you mean, you fatso? Are you implying that I wronged him?"

Zhang Yue was genuinely upset this time, and smashed Wang Jinghai's wine glass. Usually, she was the one being fawned over. She slammed her bag on the table, "If Sister Xuesheng hadn't invited us, do you think I would have wanted to come to this kind of lowlife's party?"

A hint of dissatisfaction and anger flashed across Wang Jinghai's face, and the dozen or so men and women next to him who had been called losers were also very unhappy.

Liu Xuesheng also keenly noticed this, but she didn't say anything, after all, she was the one who invited her friend. Besides, her reputation as a goddess had always been infallible, how could it become "just okay" in the mouth of a young man?

She's already been signed by an entertainment company as the second female lead. Even though the casting is still one step away, it's practically a done deal. Although she became famous because of this fat guy's short film, does the fat guy dare to say that his film's success wasn't due to his pretty face?

"You dare call your fathers losers? Who the hell are you?"

Chen Zhenzhi, who was on good terms with Wang Ning, stood up. Most of them, who were into professional photography, came from well-off families; he himself was a second-generation rich kid, and he usually fawned over Wang Ning, who still ignored him. This time, he was genuinely angry. "You took a few self-deprecating jokes from your brothers seriously? Everyone knows you're here to hook up with rich guys, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"

They're just here to hook up with rich guys, yet they're being treated like losers.
