The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao was curious about how Du Junyi knew so much.

As if she knew better than herself, Du Junyi was suddenly asked the question, and she couldn't keep her tongue out, "No, I just heard it."

Xiao Ju had been observing from the sidelines, and finally stopped talking about work. When she heard the gossip, she chimed in for a couple of minutes: "How come I haven't heard about this?"

Shen Nanqiao's intuition now tells her that Du Junyi is hiding something from her, or at least from Shen Nanqiao and Xiaoju.

As soon as Xiaoju spoke, Du Junyi fell silent, and Shen Nanqiao also stopped talking.

The two of them tacitly shut their mouths, and Du Junyi gave an awkward smile, "You guys can log off now. Remember to check the file I sent you."

Amid Xiaoju's confusion, the two said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Shen Nanqiao had just hung up the phone and hadn't even had a chance to open the file when she saw another message from her agent, Du Junyi. This time it wasn't a useless message; it was indeed about work.

Shen Nanqiao looked at the message in the chat box; Du Junyi was asking for her opinion.

Actually, the variety show is currently in contact with the team. Shen Nanqiao carefully looked at the pictures about the collaboration, which were screenshots sent by Du Junyi. To put it bluntly, it's still about creating a CP (couple pairing).

Shen Nanqiao read it carefully, but she didn't rush to reply. In fact, given Du Junyi's current focus on Shen Nanqiao's work, she believed that even if she directly agreed, the other team wouldn't have any problems.

This variety show is currently very popular, and the ending is still being kept under wraps by the production team. Shen Nanqiao and Gu Ning have also been a very popular couple on the show.

As long as Shen Nanqiao collaborates with Gu Ning, it will be entirely beneficial for both of them, and most importantly, they have an unreleased drama together.

Once the review process is completed and an official announcement is made, a collaboration will take place.

From Du Junyi's professional perspective, she would advise Shen Nanqiao to accept such a collaboration, as it would be a way to improve herself.

However, she remembered what Jing Tanqing had said to her over the weekend, Shen Nanqiao and President Song... Du Junyi still had to ask Shen Nanqiao's opinion in the end.

After learning this news, Shen Nanqiao kept thinking that if Song Shiyuan hadn't said those words, she might have agreed without hesitation, since it was within the scope of her work.

But now, Shen Nanqiao sent a message back to her agent: "Sorry, Sister Junyi, let's not stick to this for now."

After they finished speaking, they both tacitly went about their own business.

After Shen Nanqiao refused, she seemed to have made up her mind. Du Junyi also knew what his artists meant.

When Gu Ning received the news, her agent was angry for a while.

He said to Gu Ning, "It's clearly a win-win situation, so why won't they agree? Are they afraid we'll cheat them?"

Gu Ning herself is rarely willing to participate in this kind of collaboration. Her agent was quite surprised when Gu Ning said she was willing at first.

I didn't expect that it wouldn't work if only I was willing; now the other side is unwilling.

Gu Ning was actually somewhat prepared and wasn't surprised to hear such news, but he still asked an extra question: "Was it their team that refused, or did they ask Shen Nanqiao and she refused herself?"

He still remembers the words he spoke to Shen Nanqiao at the end of the show.

Gu Ning got the answer she wanted and sat alone in the company's break room without going out.

After everyone, including her agent, left, Gu Ning leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes. The exhaustion in her heart kept seeping out. Gu Ning regretted that if she hadn't gotten close to Shen Nanqiao after meeting her on set, if she hadn't gone up to talk to her, would things have turned out differently?

Following their usual habits, perhaps the two of them can gradually grow closer.

However, there is no real medicine for regret in this world.

Shen Nanqiao thought she could finally get some rest, because the documents her agent gave her showed that none of the variety shows she was about to film were ones that needed to be prepared for in the next few days.

She finally had time to rest at home, and just lay on the sofa doing nothing.

The only difference recently is that Du Junyi is always in contact with me. In the past, my agent might not contact me for months at a time, but now he talks to me twice a day.

Shen Nanqiao received another call from Du Junyi that evening. Du Junyi said, "The variety show you just finished filming will have a special episode tomorrow called 'A Day in the Life of a Celebrity.' We'll be filming at your house tomorrow."

Shen Nanqiao was very surprised to receive this message. The time was too rushed. Just as Shen Nanqiao was about to ask why there was such a rush, Du Junyi's explanation came.

"I heard that the final episode of the show was never properly edited and now it needs to be broadcast, but they can't get it out."

Shen Nanqiao naturally followed up: "That's why we need to insert a related episode to stabilize the audience's emotions."

What Du Junyi likes most about Shen Nanqiao is that he doesn't need to explain himself so clearly; the other person already knows what he wants to express.

Shen Nanqiao still complained, "But the notification came way too late. It's already evening, sis."

Shen Nanqiao was just complaining casually, but over there she heard Lai Dujunyi apologize: "It's partly my fault. You told me this morning, but I was too busy and forgot to tell you."

Shen Nanqiao froze; she had never anticipated this reason.

Shen Nanqiao chuckled and said with a smile, "It's alright. Why don't you talk to President Song and ask him to assign you an assistant? I've noticed you're getting busier and busier."

Although Shen Nanqiao seemed to be joking with a smile, what she said was not a joke at all. It was just that Junyi was indeed too busy.

Sometimes, capitalists don't exploit people like this.

Du Junyi inwardly agreed with Shen Nanqiao's suggestion, but aloud he said, "You'll need to subtly hint at it to me."

Shen Nanqiao didn't understand why she was the one to go first, and naturally, she would ask, "Why can I say that, sis?"

Shen Nanqiao became increasingly certain that Du Junyi knew something. But then she heard Du Junyi's explanation: "Because you've become so popular lately, my workload has increased."

Shen Nanqiao thought that Du Junyi would be honest with her now, but she didn't expect to hear this answer.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with saying it that way.

Shen Nanqiao felt relieved; maintaining some secrets between people is a necessary part of life.

She readily agreed to Du Junyi's joke, "Of course, when I have the chance to meet President Song, I will definitely convey the message."

After saying that, Shen Nanqiao was about to hang up the phone when Du Junyi, thinking about the event tomorrow morning, couldn't help but ask Shen Nanqiao, "Do you need me to find someone to help you pack?"

Shen Nanqiao looked around. The house was still the same as when she moved in. Apart from the slippers she bought for Song Shiyuan lying casually by the door and the strange apron in the kitchen, there seemed to be no need to tidy up anything else.

Shen Nanqiao also declined Du Junyi's suggestion and let her go about her own business.

Shen Nanqiao wasn't sure what could happen in one night, but when she opened her eyes and saw the morning sun through the window, she felt, like every early-rising worker, that her life was over.
