The Rebirth of a Top Star

The corridor wasn't far. Shen Nanqiao followed behind Du Junyi, her high heels clicking on the marble floor tiles, looking quite agile.

Several passersby nodded and greeted Shen Nanqiao, and Shen Nanqiao smiled and returned their greetings one by one.

Some of them even become future big shots, and Shen Nanqiao became increasingly certain that the decision she made today was the right one.

"You go in first." Du Junyi opened his door and let Shen Nanqiao go in first.

Shen Nanqiao didn't stand on ceremony and went inside, sitting directly on the chairs used for receiving guests.

“My company has been quite busy lately, and many things have to go through me, so I may not have time to deal with your matter recently.”

Du Junyi's voice came from behind her. Shen Nanqiao turned around to look at her and watched her sit down opposite her.

Before he could speak, Du Junyi added, "I heard you're currently filming a movie?"

There was something surprising in his words; it's rare for someone to have a film as their first project after entering the industry.

Let alone movies, most people these days started as supporting actors in web series.

Shen Nanqiao nodded modestly, "No, it was just a coincidence." She didn't find it strange that Du Junyi knew about her affairs.

"Take another quick look, and sign it if there's nothing wrong." The contract that Du Junyi handed over was no different from the one he had shown Shen Nanqiao before, and the contents would likely remain unchanged.

However, Shen Nanqiao still looked through it again based on what Du Junyi said. The only difference was that the signature was already on the document and the company stamp was on it.

"These were all rushed out last night," Du Junyi explained when he saw Shen Nanqiao's eyes lingering on these few chapters.

Shen Nanqiao picked up the pen beside her and wrote a large character on the paper in one stroke.

Three beautiful characters appeared before Du Junyi's eyes. To be honest, if he hadn't seen such elegant and beautiful calligraphy in this setting, Du Junyi would have definitely taken a second look at the person who wrote it.

However, time is just too tight right now.

Du Junyi opened his phone, gestured for Shen Nanqiao to add his contact information, and then indicated that Shen Nanqiao could leave. "If you need anything in the future, you can contact me directly. My phone is on 24 hours a day."

After giving his last words, Du Junyi left even faster than Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao walked out of the office with a brisk pace, while Shen Nanqiao slowly followed behind.

The current scale is not as large as it will be later. Passing by a few practice rooms, Shen Nanqiao saw some trainees training inside and then remembered why this company was known as the best company for creating stars.

It's not because many superstars appeared here in my previous life, but because most of the idols and very popular idol groups are from this company.

As the company grew too large, it had to rent several more floors and even set up a film and television department.

The more Shen Nanqiao looked at it, the more emotional she became. Sometimes she even wondered if she was getting old in this body that was only in her twenties.

Why do I have so many feelings?

The joy of signing the contract had already occupied a large part of Shen Nanqiao's mind. She had forgotten about the sponsor who hadn't replied in the end, and she had also forgotten her initial determination that she would never let the sponsor be at the bottom of her chat box.

Not far from Shen Nanqiao, Song Shiyuan looked at the woman who suddenly stopped replying to him, feeling a bit uneasy. He had originally planned to wait for Shen Nanqiao's next message and then not reply at all.

Now there is no next line.

Song Shiyuan didn't want to see his phone, so he turned it off and tossed it aside.

But in her mind, she recalled the first time she met Shen Nanqiao.

That banquet was extremely unpleasant, and Shen Nanqiao's intervention was a major incident.

Actually, two seconds before she appeared, a similar woman appeared, but before she could get close, she was pulled away from her spot by the bodyguard in the shadows.

Perhaps it was because of that extra sip of alcohol that Song Shiyuan didn't realize that when he saw Shen Nanqiao appear reeking of alcohol, he was stunned and didn't immediately signal to the people around him.

This allowed Shen Nanqiao to succeed, which led to the farce that followed.

Thinking about the way his assistant looked at him those days, Song Shiyuan wished he could tell Shen Nanqiao that day, "I don't want to work with you."

But her information was truly useful, immediately. The company was about to belong to them, and they might be able to take their first step into the overseas market.

Song Shiyuan's tension has eased somewhat in the past few days.

Thinking of the woman who never replied to him, Song Shiyuan began to regret it again.

I don't know if this step was the right one.

Unlike the internal strife among the domineering CEOs, Shen Nanqiao was overjoyed.

Having finally gotten home by taxi, Shen Nanqiao carefully reviewed the contract again and began searching the house for a suitable place to hide it.

I searched every nook and cranny of the house, but there wasn't a single suitable spot.

Shen Nanqiao eventually put it in the bag she had brought back; it was the perfect size, and she didn't have to worry about it getting moldy or dirty.

So be it.

Shen Nanqiao casually tossed the item onto the bed and looked around her small, dilapidated room.

Although it's simple, it's clean. I don't know when this movie will be released after it's finished filming. When it's released, I'll move to a more comfortable place.

Shen Nanqiao has never been one to suppress her own feelings.

The next few days passed very quickly. Shen Nanqiao opened her eyes in her small, dilapidated house every day and went to the film set to start filming.

In the drama, she plays Zhou Wei, blending seamlessly into the surrounding scenery. Off-screen, she gets along well with the staff and maintains her cheerful and carefree persona every day.

Every day is incredibly fulfilling.

The production crew's schedule has been extremely packed lately; they're practically working overtime.

They filmed from the moment they opened their eyes in the morning until late at night. If it weren't for the fact that people need to sleep, Shen Nanqiao would have suspected that Zhao Yinhu wanted everyone to be on standby on set 24 hours a day, just like a mobile phone.

Now, Shen Nanqiao is so exhausted that after removing her makeup and doing her skincare routine every day, she goes straight to sleep. She doesn't even have time for her favorite daily activity: harassing her sugar daddy.

The last record of the harassment was from the day Shen Nanqiao didn't reply. Later, she remembered to send a "goodnight" message in the middle of the night, which made her feel better.

The most important clients cannot be neglected.

Shen Nanqiao lay on the rocking chair in a daze, actually almost falling asleep.

There was hardly anyone behind the monitor. Shen Nanqiao was taking a rare break here, and Zhao Yinhu went up to get busy. Since she didn't need to say anything to maintain her persona, she finally had some peace and quiet.

The wind blew past her ears, and before two minutes of silence had even passed, light footsteps sounded from behind. Shen Nanqiao, who hadn't opened her eyes, thought a thief had come and quickly opened them.

Unexpectedly, the person who came into view was an acquaintance.

Wu Miaomiao saw that there was no one in this area from afar before she thought of coming over, but she didn't expect that there was someone lying on the rocking chair.

She stood there stunned for a moment, not daring to utter a sound.

Shen Nanqiao didn't know why she came over, but seeing her feigned expression, she guessed it wasn't anything good.

Shen Nanqiao scrutinized Wu Miaomiao until Wu Miaomiao recognized her.

The aura of the lead actress was different from before. When Wu Miaomiao first saw the person who suddenly sat up, she only thought she was beautiful and aloof. She didn't recognize her as the bad woman who had been an extra like her before.

Wu Miaomiao looked around and, seeing that no one was approaching, resumed her relaxed state. She was wearing ordinary clothes for extras, with a not-so-small patch underneath, making her seem like someone from a different world when she was near Shen Nanqiao.

She couldn't help but speak up and slander, "You're so lucky, I wonder who you hooked up with."

Looking at the director's things next to Shen Nanqiao, he began to make accusations in his words.

Shen Nanqiao sat with her feet dangling on the rocking chair, while Wu Miaomiao stood close to her, her eyes filled with jealousy.

Shen Nanqiao wasn't afraid; she knew it was jealousy.

Too lazy to pay attention, he casually lay down and started swaying. "If you leave now, I won't tell the director about your sneaky behavior here."

Shen Nanqiao shut Wu Miaomiao down with a single sentence.

Wu Miaomiao was a little flustered, but she was still unhappy. She felt it was unfair. She was no worse than her, so how come she had become the lead actress after only a few days?

Seeing that Shen Nanqiao closed her eyes and ignored her, she took a picture from a distance.

Just as she was about to leave, director Zhao Yinhu noticed that Shen Nanqiao was slacking off and went to wake her up himself.

Seizing the opportune moment, Wu Miaomiao picked up her phone and started snapping photos in quick succession. Afterward, she repeatedly reviewed the photos in her album to check their quality.

He smiled with satisfaction. Although he hadn't gotten what he wanted, the result seemed pretty good.

Back at the extras' rest area, her friend came up to her and asked before she could even sit down, "How did it go? Did you find them?"

Wu Miaomiao smiled and shook her head, still glad that she had reacted quickly.

He failed to accomplish what he promised, yet he's still sitting here grinning like an idiot, while the people around him simply ignore him and go off to talk to others.
