The Rebirth of a Top Star

As expected, after walking around the venue, Xiaoju spotted that one of the CEOs' female companions was Fei Lu'er.

Shen Nanqiao could only think of a few names, and there was no one else who would dare to use such a trick on her in this kind of situation.

As Shen Nanqiao was pondering what to do, she didn't expect that her old rival, whom she had only met a few times, would appear. She took Shen Nanqiao's arm, which she didn't recognize, and walked up to her.

As always, Fei Lu'er dressed according to her persona, wearing a light blue long dress that made her look like a lotus emerging from the water.

However, the expression on his face didn't match his overall demeanor at all.

At one moment, Fei Lu'er had a smug smile on her face, but she quickly covered it up. With Fei Lu'er's arrival, she introduced Shen Nanqiao triumphantly: "Nanqiao, it's been a long time."

If you count the time on your fingers, Shen Nanqiao has hardly ever seen Fei Luer. Do people these days like to be overly familiar with each other?

Shen Nanqiao greeted her with a smile, "It's been a long time, senior. What have you been busy with lately?"

It was supposed to be just a casual, polite remark, but Shen Nanqiao accurately guessed Fei Luer's trigger point. Recently, she hadn't received a single script because she didn't know who was behind it.

Shen Nanqiao asked herself with a joking smile.

Fei Lu'er's expression was about to crumble. She controlled her expression and tightened the grip on her wrist.

What have I been busy with lately? It's definitely not my career.

Fei Lu'er kindly introduced Shen Nanqiao: "This is the president of the company that is hosting this banquet. Nanqiao, you should get to know him."

Shen Nanqiao had noticed the man who kept looking her up and down. He wasn't fat, nor was he the stereotypical fat man, but Shen Nanqiao could see the flirtatious look on his face.

Shen Nanqiao was certain that this person must have a family.

Because she actually knew his wife in her past life; she was a very successful businesswoman.

Shen Nanqiao greeted him with a smile: "President Zhao, it's an honor to meet you."

The man surnamed Zhao raised his eyebrows, clearly puzzled as to why Shen Nanqiao knew him.

He only learned about this minor celebrity today, because Fei Lu'er kept buzzing in his ear about how wrong Shen Nanqiao was as a person, and how all the popular roles she had now were taken from her.

Now, looking at Shen Nanqiao, President Zhao clearly no longer believed it.

People who are good-looking are usually reasonable.

Shen Nanqiao is beautiful, President Zhao can't deny it.

Unlike Fei Lu'er's beauty, Shen Nanqiao's beauty was natural and aggressive. President Zhao's gaze remained on Shen Nanqiao's face; he didn't have time to look at Fei Lu'er's expression, who was still clinging to his arm.

"Miss Shen is very beautiful." Shen Nanqiao bowed slightly, gladly accepting the compliment. "Thank you." There was no need for formalities; Shen Nanqiao also felt that she looked very beautiful today.

Fei Lu'er was already green with envy. She hated Shen Nanqiao. From childhood to adulthood, she had never failed to accomplish anything she set her mind to.

Now, the setbacks I've suffered are all because of this little-known Shen Nanqiao.

Fei Lu'er didn't see what happened outside, so she naturally didn't know that Shen Nanqiao had perfectly weathered all the crises. Fei Lu'er thought that Shen Nanqiao was still relatively inexperienced, and no matter how capable he was, he couldn't possibly escape unscathed.

Fei Lu'er wasn't afraid of Shen Nanqiao finding out that she had done these things; in fact, Fei Lu'er wanted Shen Nanqiao to know how she had dealt with her.

But now things are not looking good. Fei Lu'er has discovered that President Zhao's attention is now entirely focused on Shen Nanqiao, and he doesn't pay any attention to her at all.

Unlike other minor celebrities who might feel intimidated or even afraid when being watched by other big shots, Shen Nanqiao was truly poised and confident.

Fei Lu'er, who had originally come to find an opportunity to mock Shen Nanqiao, now felt so emotional that she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

She awkwardly tightened her grip on the arm she was leaning on and whispered, "It looks like someone's looking for you over there. Let's go over there first."

Following Fei Lu'er's gesture, President Zhao looked over and indeed saw someone raising a wine glass in a gesture toward him, indicating that they wanted to do something. But that was a matter for later. President Zhao smiled and said goodbye to Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao remained poised and confident, while Xiaoju watched with trepidation. The conversation between Shen Nanqiao and President Zhao just now could easily have led to a dangerous mishap.

Although Fei Lu'er had left, her eyes remained behind her. She and Shen Nanqiao stared at each other, their eyes filled with undisguised anger. With everything laid bare, there was no need to hide anything anymore.

Xiao Ju stood beside Shen Nanqiao, her hand instinctively brushing against Shen Nanqiao's arm. "Sister Nanqiao, what should we do?"

Shen Nanqiao smiled back at Fei Luer, her eyes crinkling. Anyone who didn't know better would just think she was genuinely happy.

Shen Nanqiao spoke to Xiaoju with her head down, her lips moving unseen by anyone: 'It's alright, she can't do anything.'

Xiao Ju asked curiously why, but Shen Nanqiao just smiled and didn't say anything, thinking to himself: Now Fei Lu'er is probably trying to win over her sugar daddy's heart.

Philo's anger was not only what she showed on the surface; her heart was in turmoil.

Why was Shen Nanqiao so calm? Had she done this countless times before, trying to please others? Fei Lu'er didn't even dare to think about it.

Who is behind Shen Nanqiao?

Shen Nanqiao enjoyed the banquet immensely. No one paid any attention to her, and even Xiao Ju beside her was discussing with her which food was better.

It's rare that after entering the industry, no one has been urging me to lose weight, and no one has told me that I can't eat high-calorie foods and that I need to manage my figure.

Shen Nanqiao ate with great satisfaction.

I was very happy and satisfied until I received a phone call.

The message came from her agent: Shen Nanqiao is already on her way home. She really doesn't watch what she eats. The fact that she can still maintain her figure in today's tight-fitting clothes is all thanks to her ability to hold on.

Now that she's in the car and no one is watching her, Shen Nanqiao has completely let loose.

She answered the phone: "Sister Junyi, what can I do for you?"

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Shen Nanqiao instantly sat up from her slumped position, a sudden movement that startled Xiaoju.

"What's wrong, Sister Nan Qiao?" Xiao Ju was still feeling scared because of what happened today, and now she suddenly received news. She didn't know if it was good news or bad news.

Shen Nanqiao suddenly smiled.

"Really, sis? Of course I'd love to. I'm ready to join the crew anytime."

Shen Nanqiao happily hung up the phone. When she was with her own people, Shen Nanqiao always maintained a relaxed demeanor.

Xiao Ju asked curiously, and Shen Nanqiao didn't hold back: "There's a new mission, my dear Xiao Ju," Shen Nanqiao reached out and hooked Xiao Ju's chin, "My beloved concubine, are you willing to share joys and sorrows with me?"

Before Shen Nanqiao could even explain what it was, Xiaoju nodded her head vigorously.

She was very grateful to Shen Nanqiao for taking care of her, so Xiaoju was willing to go through fire and water for him.

Shen Nanqiao chuckled. "No need to be fearless." She patted Xiaoju's head and muttered, "As long as you're willing to lose weight with me, that's fine."

Yes, Shen Nanqiao has landed a new role in a drama series, just half an hour after the red carpet event ended today.
