The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao chose to flee.

"We'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow," Shen Nanqiao said, turning on her phone and walking to the front desk to pay the bill. Without saying anything more, she pulled Wang Xiaotong back to the hotel. She didn't even say anything to Wang Xiaotong at the door before closing it and going back to her room.

Wang Xiaotong wasn't familiar with Shen Nanqiao before and didn't know anything about Shen Nanqiao and Fang Zihe's relationship. He only knew that the two had acted together. So, Wang Xiaotong went back to his bedroom and lay on the bed to tidy up.

Since there are fans who ship the two of them, there will be no shortage of videos about them online, whether they are edited or intended to promote the pair.

This led Wang Xiaotong to find a clip about the interaction between Shen Nanqiao and Fang Zihe, which was the clip that circulated from when the two were filming together before.

Wang Xiaotong was completely obsessed with the relationship.

Unable to get Shen Nanqiao's door open in the middle of the night, he could only harass Shen Nanqiao on his phone: Actually, I also think highly of Brother Fang.

Wang Xiaotong imitated the popular phrases used by people online.

Shen Nanqiao saw this and didn't want to reply at all.

The script in her hands became a hot potato, and the role of the female lead became even more burdensome for Shen Nanqiao.

Wang Xiaotong, on the other hand, readily accepted the increased screen time from the second female lead. After all, this character is the one who gets to see the male and female leads' scenes most directly. Wang Xiaotong can now be considered a new fan of Shen Nanqiao and Fang Zihe.

Wang Xiaotong was very willing to observe things up close.

If only there hadn't been the scene where Shen Nanqiao shouted Wang Ruoqi's full name!

All discerning viewers see is Shen Nanqiao busy on set and filming. Whether it's Shen Nanqiao's nemesis or other characters, those who pay attention to Shen Nanqiao only see her and Wang Ruoqi fighting wits and courage, and sometimes the two even arguing and fighting.

Therefore, during filming, many unscrupulous media outlets wrote articles that disparaged Shen Nanqiao, claiming that she had conflicts with other actors in the crew, even getting into fights, and that she was not a well-behaved actress.

Sometimes, Shen Nanqiao would secretly forward these messages to Wang Xiaotong, so that she could see her true colors.

At the same time, Shen Nanqiao discovered that she and Fang Zihe were not so difficult to get along with. What surprised Shen Nanqiao even more was that she had previously thought she would become friends with Fang Zihe.

However, the awkwardness they created while trying to create a romantic pairing actually made their relationship less than it should have been.

But now, Shen Nanqiao has discovered that during the time Fang Zihe disappeared, not only has his physique improved and his acting skills risen, but more importantly, he has become more easygoing. Shen Nanqiao now feels that she and Fang Zihe can call each other friends.

Even when filming kissing scenes, Shen Nanqiao wasn't as embarrassed as she initially thought.

Shen Nanqiao opened her phone and started searching, with Wang Xiaotong and Fang Zihe standing next to her.

The voices of marketing accounts came from the video app. Fang Zihe leaned closer, looked at the video in Shen Nanqiao's hand, chuckled softly, and said, "Don't pull that garlic-eating trick on me."

Shen Nanqiao only noticed what the video in her hand was saying after he spoke, and replied with a smile: "It would have been better if you hadn't said anything, now that you've mentioned it, I want to try it out."

Shen Nanqiao looked up at Fang Zihe, who lowered his head with a smile. The scene was incredibly beautiful, especially since both Shen Nanqiao and Fang Zihe were beautiful women.

Wang Xiaotong couldn't help but glance around to make sure no one was watching. She then pulled out her phone from her pocket while pretending to be the second female lead, and snapped a picture without turning off the phone's sound. She was caught red-handed.

The moment Shen Nanqiao looked at Wang Xiaotong was captured by the camera, and the resulting photo showed Shen Nanqiao looking at the camera while Fang Zihe looked down at Shen Nanqiao.

No matter how much Shen Nanqiao threatened him, Wang Xiaotong couldn't bear to delete it.

She even rushed to the director with her phone to complain about Shen Nanqiao: "Director, look, she's going to mess up my look."

The director knew it was the two of them who were having fun, so he wasn't angry. He just said casually, "If you're not afraid of being filmed and having more rumors spread, then keep playing."

The walkie-talkie in his hand kept transmitting sound.

Shen Nanqiao stood there waiting for Wang Xiaotong to come out from behind the director.

In the end, the two stopped arguing and reached an agreement that as long as Wang Xiaotong kept it confidential, it would be fine.

This is the biggest compromise Shen Nanqiao has ever made.

Wang Xiaotong was overjoyed.

Putting everything else aside, the filming environment was really good.

Shen Nanqiao was carefree here. She rarely looked at her phone, and the rare moments she did use it were spent video chatting with her agent on the other end.

Shen Nanqiao found a suitable agent to handle her own studio business. Now, all Shen Nanqiao needs to do is pay him to handle anything, whether it's terminating a contract, finding a lawyer, or accessing resources.

Shen Nanqiao only needs to provide the money, but unfortunately, money is exactly what she has in abundance right now.

As one of the most sought-after A-list actresses right now, Shen Nanqiao's current popularity is undeniable. Even a doll kit that only appeared for a second in a set visit video was sold out by fans in less than an hour.

Shen Nanqiao was half-reclining on the sofa, and Xiaoju brought her teacup over and placed it beside her. Shen Nanqiao was still making a video call.

Seeing that Shen Nanqiao didn't say anything, Xiaoju sat down next to him and waited for him to assign her a task.

Lately, apart from helping to buy milk tea for the film crew, I've been quite bored. Shen Nanqiao is the one who's busy, and Xiao Ju can't really help much.

Now all I can do is keep you company.

Xiaoju silenced her phone and quietly stayed by Shen Nanqiao's side. Suddenly, Shen Nanqiao spoke up and turned to her.

Xiaoju thought she was chatting with someone on the other end of the phone. Shen Nanqiao called her name twice before Xiaoju realized what was happening. "Huh?"

Clearly, they hadn't heard what Shen Nanqiao said.

Until Shen Nanqiao said it again.

Xiao Ju finally heard clearly.

Shen Nanqiao looked at her sincerely, genuinely seeking her opinion: "Xiaoju, if I open a studio, will you come with me or stay with your current company?"

Xiao Ju looked completely bewildered.

Is this asking for my opinion? This question is like asking whether I should stay with my father or mother after a divorce.

But Xiaoju wasn't bothered at all. She had no feelings for the company. Although her salary was signed with the company, it was always paid directly by Shen Nanqiao, with occasional bonuses.

Xiao Ju wasn't bothered at all. She smiled brightly at Shen Nanqiao and said, "Sister Nanqiao, stop joking with me. Of course I'll go with you."

Seeing Xiao Ju smiling, Shen Nanqiao smiled too.

Both of them were laughing happily, and Shen Nanqiao knew that this was the answer.

She was very satisfied and not at all worried about whether Xiaoju would be let go by the company.

Those who are your own people will definitely follow you.

Since Shen Nanqiao had nothing else to do, Xiaoju went back to her room.

The new collaboration between Shen Nanqiao and Fang Zihe has once again sparked explosive online discussions.

When Fang Zihe's identity as the male lead was first revealed, everyone started discussing it. Shen Nanqiao also joined in the discussion, wondering why Fang Zihe was able to take on this leading role in the drama.

At the time, Shen Nanqiao was only focused on watching the drama unfold and didn't think about what she would do next.

When the news broke that Shen Nanqiao had become the female lead, netizens were truly outraged.

Everyone loves to join in the fun, but when Shen Nanqiao herself became the main character in the fun, she realized that she had also become another kind of gossipmonger.

Dumbfounding.

Fortunately, the short clips of their acting released by the official website were all impeccable.

Recently, there has been a lot of filming to do, and Shen Nanqiao hasn't had a good chance to rest. The whole crew is in a tense state, as if they need to rush to finish filming all the major productions that need to be shot during the summer vacation.

Shen Nanqiao hadn't even closed her eyes yet when she rushed to the scene again.

Fortunately, the distance wasn't far, and Shen Nanqiao sat drowsily in front of the makeup mirror.

With her eyes half-closed, Xiao Ju held Shen Nanqiao's chin so that the makeup artist could work on Shen Nanqiao's already perfect face.
