The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao returned home much faster than she had come, thanks to her full stomach.

After eating and drinking their fill, Shen Nanqiao and Song Shiyuan sat together feeling awkward. The thought of only caring about their appetites was gone. Shen Nanqiao just wanted to get back to her little home as soon as possible.

Thinking of her own little home, Shen Nanqiao began to doubt Song Shiyuan's previous words again. Song Shiyuan directly said that it was not his arrangement, but Shen Nanqiao did not believe him at all.

Song Shiyuan is extremely suspicious.

Shen Nanqiao returned downstairs and reached out to say goodbye to Song Shiyuan, but Song Shiyuan followed Shen Nanqiao's gesture and got out of the car.

It was only then that Shen Nanqiao realized that Song Shiyuan lived upstairs from her.

Shen Nanqiao and Song Shiyuan stood together in the elevator, but neither of them said a word. Mainly, Shen Nanqiao didn't know what to say; her determination to sever all ties was stifled by the silence in the elevator.

Shen Nanqiao arrived first. She stepped out of the elevator and said goodbye to Song Shiyuan with a smile.

Song Shiyuan watched as the elevator doors closed, and Shen Nanqiao's face disappeared from his sight.

The moment Shen Nanqiao left, Song Shiyuan was already filled with regret. He couldn't say what he wanted to say and could only watch helplessly as the person he loved left.

When Song Shiyuan saw Shen Nanqiao this time, he was certain that this was the long-awaited feeling of being moved.

Perhaps it's time for him to take the initiative.

Song Shiyuan opened the door to his home and sat down at his familiar desk. There were so many documents that he had already destroyed, and he hadn't even started processing them yet.

The night is still long.

After eating, Shen Nanqiao wanted to sleep. After a quick wash, she picked up her phone and tossed and turned in bed. Night was falling, and there were still so many things to take care of.

Despite her hesitation, Shen Nanqiao eventually sent out the message.

Shen Nanqiao said to Song Shiyuan: Good night.

Without waiting for a reply, and not expecting any response from Song Shiyuan, Shen Nanqiao turned off her phone and went straight to rest.

As night deepened, Shen Nanqiao slept even more soundly.

The threatening messages sent by the paparazzi through the page that added Shen Nanqiao's messages were completely ignored by Shen Nanqiao.

The two paparazzi brothers, after much deliberation, decided to threaten Shen Nanqiao first. Of the two, only Shen Nanqiao was an actress; the other man appeared to be a CEO.

Therefore, threatening Shen Nan will definitely go smoothly.

No one would expect celebrities to actually rest this early. But Shen Nanqiao is resting this early today.

So it's not that Shen Nanqiao doesn't care, it's just that she didn't see it.

It's just because we didn't see it.

After eating her fill, Shen Nanqiao slept soundly, completely oblivious to the bloody drama unfolding on her phone.

Two hours passed, and Shen Nanqiao neither replied nor accepted the friend request. The two people on the other end of the phone were dumbfounded.

They really don't care, or they simply didn't see it at all.

As the night grew deeper, the guy behind couldn't wait any longer and patted the guy in front on the shoulder.

"How about we talk to Song Shiyuan about it?"

Shen Nanqiao doesn't care, maybe it's because she's climbed up the social ladder and wants to be exposed.

It took the two a long time to find news about Song Shiyuan. In the industry, news about Shen Nanqiao was much easier to find than news about Song Shiyuan.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a contact method that seemed to belong to Song Shiyuan.

The two of them rushed forward as if they had seen meat.

"I have a video of your private meeting tonight. You can contact me if you want to buy it out."

The two did not present evidence directly, but instead probed with words first.

It must be Song Shiyuan's WeChat account. In less than ten minutes, the verification was accepted.

The two looked at each other, overjoyed.

Song Shiyuan disliked the term "private meeting." When he first saw it, he thought it was some kind of deliberate advertisement to test him. Only when he saw it tonight did he realize it was when he went out with Shen Nanqiao.

He then thought of the man sitting next to him that night, so suspicious; it turned out he was a paparazzi.

Song Shiyuan became interested, put down his work, picked up his phone, and replied with, "Oh?"

With a reply, the two became even more enthusiastic.

“We already have evidence of your late-night date with Shen Nanqiao. If you don’t want it to be exposed, then we’ll have to see how sincere you are.”

The two men eagerly revealed all their cards, which made Song Shiyuan even more certain that they had met paparazzi today.

For a moment, Song Shiyuan's eyes showed discomfort. As for the paparazzi industry, you could call it a profession, but to put it bluntly, it's just the entertainment of stalking.

Song Shiyuan didn't like being in the spotlight like this, and he believed Shen Nanqiao wouldn't either, but Song Shiyuan's eyes caught sight of the two words: "exposed".

Song Shiyuan thought of the men following Shen Nanqiao. Although he didn't pay much attention to them, he knew who they were.

If this news gets out, it will be a great platform. Looking at the chat history in front of him, Song Shiyuan thought it was a great opportunity.

Song Shiyuan feigned impatience, "I don't know what you're talking about."

As expected, the two opponents had little experience, and Song Shiyuan tricked them out of their predicament with just one sentence.

"We'll post your and Shen Nanqiao's information online. You'd better think about it." The two of them said the most threatening things they could think of.

Song Shiyuan remained unmoved: "Whatever, don't waste your time." After saying this, Song Shiyuan deleted the person from the conversation without leaving any evidence.

Song Shiyuan's mind raced as he plotted his plan. If everything went smoothly, he would see the news he wanted by tomorrow morning.

Sometimes, the timing and location just happen to be perfect. After dealing with the incident, Song Shiyuan continued to handle the work that had been delayed due to his outing.

What's going on? The rumors say that the CEO's job is to play the role of a domineering boss and only need to handle the work verbally.

But when it comes to her, she has to take care of these countless tasks. Even if she doesn't go to the company to handle external affairs, Jing Tanqing will quietly bring her what she needs to do.

Sometimes, Song Shiyuan really felt that assistants didn't need to be so dedicated.

Shen Nanqiao had already accomplished so many things that would influence her future direction while she was asleep.

When Shen Nanqiao opened her eyes in the morning, she saw a flood of messages coming in, especially from Du Junyi, who hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, who contributed countless messages to her WeChat, as well as countless phone calls that rang because she couldn't hear them.

Shen Nanqiao had never seen anyone so anxious before, and subconsciously she didn't think it was because her movie was a huge hit.

She clicked on the link Xiaoju sent her, and was immediately redirected to the Weibo page.

The headline above is eye-catching: Female celebrity meets male CEO at night, what exactly is going on...?

Shen Nanqiao was so impressed by what she saw that she wanted to click and take a look. After reading it, she realized that the man she had seen that day, besides herself, was the only other man who came into the shop that night. It turned out that it was because of their profession.

Shen Nanqiao was annoyed, wondering why she hadn't seen the camera.

After reading through all the messages, Shen Nanqiao finally saw the messages that the two people had sent her while she was asleep.

The two spoke in a very humorous way. Even if Shen Nanqiao wasn't asleep at the time, she would have doubted the truthfulness of their words after seeing them.

But now it seems too late, and Shen Nanqiao opened that news again.

She thought of finding Song Shiyuan. The faces of both people in the video were clearly visible; it was a scene of Shen Nanqiao and Song Shiyuan eating together.

Shen Nanqiao went out without a mask that one time, and she was photographed.

What bad luck!

Shen Nanqiao initially planned to send a message to Song Shiyuan, but later changed her mind and made a phone call instead.

It was unusual for Song Shiyuan not to have left home by 8 a.m. today. Jing Tanqing said that he was at the company today and asked Song Shiyuan to take the documents with him.

Although they appear to be in a superior-subordinate relationship, they are actually very good friends in private.

Shen Nanqiao's call came just in time; Song Shiyuan hadn't even left the house yet when he answered it.

"What's wrong?" Song Shiyuan clearly knew it was Shen Nanqiao calling, and there was even a hint of a smile in his voice that Shen Nanqiao couldn't quite detect. Song Shiyuan, who was a night owl and an early riser, had already read the news that the download had gone viral.

Shen Nanqiao was speechless. She had a feeling that Song Shiyuan seemed to be laughing.

"Have you seen the news online?" Shen Nanqiao wasn't sure if Song Shiyuan had noticed, after all, the president was always extremely busy.

Song Shiyuan replied to Shen Nanqiao, pondering for a moment, "I saw it. You weren't affected, were you?" His words sounded rather considerate.

Shen Nanqiao, "No, are you alright?" For some reason, Shen Nanqiao asked back, even though she was the one who was in trouble.

Shen Nanqiao, however, was being polite to Song Shiyuan.

"Didn't that person contact you at the time?" Shen Nanqiao asked, puzzled. If she was the only one who went to bed early, Song Shiyuan might have been notified as well.

Song Shiyuan thought Shen Nanqiao would ask a few more questions, but she cut straight to the point. Remembering what she had deliberately said yesterday, Song Shiyuan said to Shen Nanqiao without hesitation, "No, I just saw it too."

Song Shiyuan spoke with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Nanqiao asked again, "So what should we do now?" Shen Nanqiao was very bothered by her big face on the internet. Fortunately, she hadn't removed her makeup quickly when she got back that day. She was still wearing a full face of makeup, but it just didn't look as good. Moreover, the online discussions were mostly about her.

Shen Nanqiao dislikes such rumors.

Now that rumors are being spread about their relationship, Shen Nanqiao is once again reminded of Song Shiyuan's girlfriend.

They said not to go out to eat, and now look what happened. After being photographed, they have no way to defend themselves and can't explain themselves clearly.

Shen Nanqiao waited to hear Song Shiyuan's reply, but to her surprise, the silence on the other end was met with the words: "Let's handle this calmly."

"Calm down, handle it?" Shen Nanqiao found the combination of these words very strange.

She has seen cases of relationship problems handled calmly, and over time, the public tends to forget about them.

However, this often happens because the two people are actually in a romantic relationship, which is why they give each other the cold shoulder.

Now, this dignified CEO just spouts "cold treatment" all the time; I wonder where he learned that from.

Shen Nanqiao felt a surge of anger rising within her. Song Shiyuan's attitude showed that he didn't care about her life or death, his girlfriend, or the CP she was currently promoting.

It all concerns his own career, yet he thought he could resolve everything with a simple "cold treatment."

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand? You could actually explain it." Shen Nanqiao's usual public relations tactic was for one party to come out and clarify that they were just friends, along with the other party's response.

Regardless of public opinion, this is a solution that benefits both sides.

Shen Nanqiao's phone received another notification, this time not about having dinner together. The two paparazzi had chased after Shen Nanqiao and her companion's car after the meal and followed them back to their residential area.

The camera was used to film the two people returning to their neighborhood in the same car.

The titles cited are even bolder.

A rising starlet was spotted living with her boyfriend late at night.

The word "chance encounter" is used so well. Shen Nanqiao didn't want to click on it, but her fingers couldn't help themselves. After reading the general outline of the incident, Shen Nanqiao could only say that the other party's ability to fabricate facts was quite impressive.

The call didn't stop, and Shen Nanqiao spoke directly, her tone changing from her initial inquiry: "I can't go out to handle work like this at all. Song Shiyuan, what do you think we should do?"

This was the first time Shen Nanqiao had called Song Shiyuan by his full name in front of him.

Although he spoke in an angry tone, Song Shiyuan still stood there for a minute, reflecting on what he had said.

He hung up on Shen Nanqiao.

He put on his clothes, picked up his keys, and walked down the stairs with practiced ease, knocking on Shen Nanqiao's door.

She said she couldn't go out to work, which means she's still at home.

As soon as Shen Nanqiao opened the door, she knew that once Song Shiyuan found out that she lived upstairs, he would appear with a clear conscience.

Shen Nanqiao felt that Song Shiyuan was acting strangely in front of her.

She didn't give Song Shiyuan a chance to come in, and Shen Nanqiao was still a little angry looking at Song Shiyuan's face.

Why can't we just talk normally? Why do we have to come up here and say something about "cooling off"?

Where to place one's work.

Song Shiyuan sensed something was wrong the moment he uttered those words based on his intuition.

Shen Nanqiao looked at Song Shiyuan, who was dressed impeccably and looked like an elite CEO about to go to work: "You're only leaving now?" Shen Nanqiao glanced at the time, which was almost nine o'clock.

Song Shiyuan nodded, then answered his assistant's call and said a few words in front of Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao didn't speak up to affect his performance. She waited until he spoke again before looking at him.

"Don't worry, just contact your agent, everything will be taken care of quickly." Song Shiyuan waved his phone at Shen Nanqiao.

It means that everything is under one's control.

"It's alright, people forget things quickly, you really don't need to worry." Song Shiyuan said goodbye to Shen Nanqiao, knowing it was time.

I walked down the stairs.

As Shen Nanqiao watched his slowly disappearing figure, she seemed less troubled.

Sometimes feelings come in such strange ways. As Shen Nanqiao watched Song Shiyuan leave, the emotions that had been lingering in her heart vanished.
