The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao felt a rare sense of peace today, surrounded by familiar people, a sense of security that no object could provide, especially since it was Wang Xiaotong, who had previously risked everything to break with the company for her sake.

Shen Nanqiao still remembers everything, and these memories become clearer and clearer as time goes by. Shen Nanqiao's hand touches the wall.

Wang Xiaotong, separated by a wall, had no idea what she was doing or whether she was asleep.

As Shen Nanqiao wished, Wang Xiaotong really couldn't fall asleep. On the one hand, he was just arriving in the countryside, and although the accommodation was very good, he was still not used to it, so he couldn't fall asleep.

On another note, Wang Xiaotong was wondering why Shen Nanqiao was being so familiar with him today and so enthusiastically inviting him to stay here. Was there some kind of conspiracy involved?

It's really hard to say.

I used to hear them gossip at the company, and all they said was that Shen Nanqiao had a terrible temper and was two-faced. I never heard anything else about her.

Wang Xiaotong guessed, and then turned over to think about where she had offended whom and who she had provoked. She wasn't as clueless as she seemed on the surface.

Shen Nanqiao, however, was already scheming about how to improve her relationship with Wang Xiaotong. Once the studio was up and running, the first thing she would do was poach Wang Xiaotong. The future Wang Ruoqi was destined to be a top actress. Her best friend was too good to pass up; it would be a shame not to bring her over.

Shen Nanqiao could only ponder these things in her heart. Right now, everything was still illegitimate and improper. As time slowly passed, Shen Nanqiao actually fell asleep.

The next day, she was naturally full of energy. Now, no matter what tricks the director played on everyone, Shen Nanqiao could handle them.

Surprisingly, nothing happened today.

Shen Nanqiao checked her phone repeatedly but didn't see any notifications. Bored, she suddenly remembered Wang Xiaotong, whom she had dragged over yesterday, who was still in the next room.

Shen Nanqiao checked the time and came out to see Xiao Ju squatting in the yard washing up. "Xiao Ju," Shen Nanqiao called out. Xiao Ju turned around, her face still covered in face wash foam, and asked Shen Nanqiao, "What's wrong, sis?" Shen Nanqiao pointed to the next room, "Is she up yet?"

As soon as Shen Nanqiao asked the question, the door to the house opened, and with a creaking sound, Shen Nanqiao saw Wang Xiaotong, who had just woken up.

She was about to speak when she realized what she was doing, so she withdrew her mouth and gave a shy smile.

Wang Xiaotong didn't expect to see two faces staring at her as soon as she woke up. Feeling a little embarrassed and unsure of what to do, she reached out and closed the door again.

The two people outside were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Nanqiao was still stunned when she chuckled. She actually knew that Wang Xiaotong was shy.

Shen Nanqiao didn't wait at the door; she went to wash up on her own and only spoke to Wang Xiaotong when Wang came out of the house.

"Did you just arrive yesterday?" Wang Xiaotong got up, leaned closer to the water pipe, and softly hummed in agreement.

Shen Nanqiao smiled and followed, then said, "I hear them all call you Wang Ruoqi, is that your stage name or..."

Actually, Xiao Ju thinks Shen Nanqiao is a bit gossipy right now, but Shen Nanqiao is following closely behind Wang Ruoqi.

Wang Ruoqi was somewhat surprised, as no one had ever asked her this question before. After all, her later name wasn't particularly unique and wouldn't lead to any associations.

Wang Ruoqi began to recall if she had given herself away anywhere, but she couldn't recall doing so.

Shen Nanqiao chuckled: "Don't be nervous, I'm just curious."

Wang Ruoqi struggled with what to say, but in the end she told the truth, even though no one in the industry knows her real name yet.

"This is my stage name."

Wang Ruoqi couldn't explain it either, but Shen Nanqiao's persistent questioning didn't make her feel uncomfortable.

It's just a problem.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk anymore, Shen Nanqiao didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she moved a few steps away from her and stopped being so close.

"You didn't bring an assistant with you?" Shen Nanqiao asked casually as she rinsed the cup in her hand under the tap. Everyone who came here, regardless of the size of their role, had an assistant with them as long as they were signed with the company.

But Wang Ruoqi really doesn't have anyone by her side.

Shen Nanqiao asked casually, but Wang Ruoqi didn't say anything, and even stopped moving her hands, as if Shen Nanqiao had stepped on her tail and made her speechless.

Something is not right.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at Xiaoju, and it was as if they had developed a tacit understanding over a long period of time. With just a look from Shen Nanqiao, Xiaoju knew what he meant.

With a nod, no one paid attention to what she was actually doing.

Shen Nanqiao first made a mock joke, "What, are you worried that your assistant won't be able to handle the hardship or that it will be inconvenient?"

Shen Nanqiao offered her a way out, and Wang Ruoqi nodded in agreement.

Shen Nanqiao didn't give her a chance to speak again, and directly packed up her things and went back to her room.

After closing the door, Shen Nanqiao leaned against it. She thought that as long as she listened to the company's instructions, everything should be going smoothly now that she wasn't affecting Wang Ruoqi's life.

Shen Nanqiao only realized something was wrong now. This dead company was not yet on its last legs, so it should be able to provide an assistant.

Xiao Ju has already investigated; Shen Nanqiao doesn't want to reopen Wang Xiaotong's wounds.

Since that casual mention, Shen Nanqiao has never said a word about it to Wang Xiaotong again.

Even after the intensive study session ended, Shen Nanqiao did not see the male and female leads. In fact, the only thing available online was a silhouette of the male and female leads, with nothing else.

Shen Nanqiao doesn't even know when filming will start. With the coordination between her agency and the director, the contract has already been signed. All Shen Nanqiao needs to do now is go home, control her weight, and wait for filming to begin.

Yes, it's time to start the long journey of controlling her weight again. Shen Nanqiao's weight has always been maintained at 92 pounds. During the period of indulgence before, her weight did not change, but her figure became obviously loose.

The director now requires him to lose weight to 84 pounds and have a significantly better body circumference than he has now.

She plays a young lady who, even before the world experienced the apocalypse, paid great attention to her figure. She was not only thin and slender, but more importantly, she had muscle definition and good coordination, making her an absolute beauty.

No matter how perfect Shen Nanqiao's figure is now, there is no trace of training; she is simply naturally thin.

Moreover, the later Shen Nanqiao is a ruthless woman, a female warrior who is no less than any man, how could she not have a single muscle?

These are all the problems that Shen Nanqiao is facing now. The most serious one is that the director has only given Shen Nanqiao one and a half months.

These challenges are all stumbling blocks to the future.

But right now, the most serious problem in Shen Nanqiao's eyes is not these things, but how to rescue Wang Xiaotong from this rotten company.

Although Shen Nanqiao cannot yet call herself Wang Xiaotong's best friend, she can already say that they are just ordinary friends. That's the magic of time.

However, it's not easy to dig up information about Wang Ruoqi. Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she saw the information she found.
