The Rebirth of a Top Star

Chapter 14: I Have a New Job

Lying in bed, Shen Nanqiao sighed softly, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep immediately, even though she wasn't sleepy at all.

I was huddled in the middle of the sofa, in an uncomfortable position.

When I finally woke up, the city lights were already on.

She hurriedly checked her phone. The power of surveillance footage was more effective than any words. Shen Nanqiao saw those who had been arguing and criticizing everything fall silent after seeing the evidence.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally completely at ease.

I quickly replied to a few messages on my phone that came to comfort me or ask about my situation.

I just saw the message from the lowest-ranking sponsor, who had sent it shortly after I fell asleep.

"Come to the company tomorrow; we need to discuss something in person."

Her eyes, which had been blurry from just waking up, widened in an instant. She hadn't replied to a single message that Shen Nanqiao had sent to Song Shiyuan.

Now that she was suddenly told to go to the company, Shen Nanqiao's first thought was of what had happened tonight.

No way, I've already dealt with it all, and it's still gotten to Song Shiyuan's ears.

He wouldn't fire himself, would he?

Shen Nanqiao thought to herself, "I haven't even been able to properly latch onto this powerful figure for very long."

Without daring to say anything else, Shen Nanqiao simply replied with an "okay".

I'm completely unable to sleep tonight.

Shen Nanqiao dragged her weary heart from the sofa to the bed. Looking at her simple ceiling, she planned that the first thing she would do as soon as she received her paycheck was to move to a new place.

It's really inconvenient to live here.

As expected, Shen Nanqiao woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes, which stood out against her fair skin.

It was unusual that she didn't wake up naturally; the alarm clock was still ringing, but Shen Nanqiao didn't have any morning grumpiness.

The first thing Shen Nanqiao did after opening her eyes was to check her phone for messages.

After I replied, several hours later, late at night, after I had fallen asleep again, Song Shiyuan sent me a location message.

It wasn't the branch office I visited last time. Song Shiyuan was really not being polite at all. He sent me the address of the head office directly and even made a special arrangement to come up to his office without waiting downstairs.

Shen Nanqiao felt a little uneasy when she opened her eyes in the morning.

This is a panicked mindset in the face of impending uncertainty.

There has been too much uncertainty in things ever since I met Song Shiyuan.

While applying makeup, Shen Nanqiao mentally prepared a draft of how to explain to her sugar daddy that she had not done anything to harm his interests.

It's so hard.

On the way to that address.

As expected, Song Shiyuan was a thoughtful person. He arrived downstairs at nine o'clock, and before he could even finish greeting the receptionist, someone had already come down to meet him.

She successfully entered Song Shiyuan's office and faced this sugar daddy she had been talking about for the second time.

He looked tired, but he was different from the last time I saw him.

If a specific description is needed, Shen Nanqiao would like to use the idiom "calm and composed".

He became more composed.

Shen Nanqiao sat down opposite Song Shiyuan without saying a word.

He was still busy with his work.

It wasn't until five minutes later that Song Shiyuan finally looked up at Shen Nanqiao.

Surprisingly, instead of deliberately adopting a superior attitude to suppress her, he gave Shen Nanqiao a smile.

"What you said is very true." Song Shiyuan praised Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao was expecting a direct storm, but instead, she was met with a friendly, gentle breeze.

"What did you say?" Shen Nanqiao didn't hear clearly.

"I said you were right before, we met for the first time, have you forgotten?"

Song Shiyuan did not understand Shen Nanqiao's reaction.

However, it's likely that any of Shen Nanqiao's employees understood him better than Song Shiyuan.

"No way, is this one of our artists?"

Everyone present knew that the company had a branch office related to the entertainment industry.

No one knew that the celebrity who caused such a stir online yesterday was actually signed by their own company.

Shen Nanqiao didn't know how to explain to Song Shiyuan, who seemed unaware of the trouble he had caused yesterday.

It's a bit embarrassing to talk about.

Although they were all misunderstandings.

“I think we can continue to cooperate,” Song Shiyuan said in a completely calm voice.

Shen Nanqiao swallowed the words she wanted to say.

"You acquired that foreign company?" This was the only conclusion Shen Nanqiao could come up with.

That company that became very powerful in the later stages, and even eventually controlled the lifeline of a certain field abroad.

Song Shiyuan did not show the same excitement as Shen Nanqiao, and only nodded slightly to Shen Nanqiao.

"Perhaps you can mention your requirements now." Song Shiyuan's words told Shen Nanqiao that she had completely passed her "probation period" and was officially hired.

Shen Nanqiao's mindset changed.

It turns out it wasn't about coming to interrogate or punish someone.

"I have no requests, dear sponsor." Without the tension, Shen Nanqiao became carefree again.

As the words "Big Boss" popped up, Shen Nanqiao clearly noticed Song Shiyuan's temples throbbing. He still couldn't openly accept the nickname she had given him.

Their reaction upon meeting again was quite interesting.

Shen Nanqiao laughed in front of Song Shiyuan.

The gloom that had been weighing on me before has also disappeared.

Perhaps, things aren't so bad after all.

Shen Nanqiao settled into a comfortable position in her chair. After thinking for a moment, she decided to directly make her request to her sugar daddy. After all, this sugar daddy didn't understand the difficulties in the entertainment industry, and if she didn't explain things clearly, there were some things he would find hard to think of.

"My agent has been too busy lately to get away."

"You can send me a message if you need anything."

Shen Nanqiao was about to say the next sentence when Song Shiyuan interrupted the magic.

"What?" This was the first time Song Shiyuan had taken the initiative to say that Shen Nanqiao could send him messages.

“I told you you can come to me; at least my words carry weight.”

Following Shen Nanqiao's previous statement, Song Shiyuan automatically filled in the blanks in his mind, thinking that Shen Nanqiao was complaining, saying that no one cared about him or took responsibility for him.

The two had completely different ideas, but Shen Nanqiao was still very satisfied with her agent.

Although he doesn't manage himself very well now, he'll be the most famous top agent in the future.

"Boss, that's not what I meant."

Shen Nanqiao quickly waved her hand, indicating that the other party had misunderstood.

"I mean, Sister Junyi has been too busy lately, so I need an assistant."

Shen Nanqiao quickly explained, "It's inconvenient for me to handle many things by myself." Shen Nanqiao was also very embarrassed to say this, never expecting that she, as a small-time actress, would be burdened with so many "scandals".

"It was my oversight." Song Shiyuan hadn't thought of this beforehand, although he had spent most of his time fully focused on his work during this period of testing Shen Nanqiao's words.

However, Song Shiyuan failed to do something that could have been solved with just one sentence.

He felt he had gone a bit too far.

When she looked at Shen Nanqiao again, her face showed a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think things through and didn't make proper arrangements." Sometimes, the CEO really knows how to maintain appearances.

Looking at the genuine apology on Song Shiyuan's face, Shen Nanqiao truly thought Song Shiyuan's acting was quite good.

With such a great natural reaction, if she were an actor in the entertainment industry, she would definitely be able to get a leading role.

Even now, Shen Nanqiao still thinks that Song Shiyuan, who became famous at a young age and is mature beyond his years, is a seasoned veteran with superb acting skills.

I never thought that the man I called my sugar daddy would be someone who took me seriously.

It was just a collaborative relationship involving acting together.

Shen Nanqiao suddenly felt bored, but a smile appeared on her face again, judging whether it was genuine or not. "Since my assistant has arranged it for me, we can meet then. You can still pay my salary."

A sly smile was undisguisedly displayed to Song Shiyuan, though it was unclear whether it was a disguise on Shen Nan's part.

"Of course." It's just a small amount of money.

Shen Nanqiao simply cannot guarantee her assistant's salary right now, which is why she needs the company to pay her. She doesn't even have enough money to support herself right now.

Being a minor celebrity is so tiring.

Shen Nanqiao really wanted to stand up and exclaim loudly.

Lost in thought, Song Shiyuan made an internal phone call and summoned Jing Tanqing.

Before Shen Nanqiao could react and see the person's expression clearly, a thick stack of scripts was handed to her.

"Take a look through the scripts I recently received and see if there are any you like."

Song Shiyuan spoke very generously.

Shen Nanqiao also put all her strange emotions to the back of her mind.

Shen Nanqiao, who loves filming and life on set, gets her eyes light up when she sees a script, even ignoring Jing Tanqing, who is standing beside her curiously observing her.

Song Shiyuan gestured to Jing Tanqing, and then quietly slipped out.

Shen Nanqiao was already looking down and carefully selecting items, not caring much about whether there was a big spender sitting opposite her.
