After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.
Chapter 139: Could an NPC deprive her of resources with a flick of their finger?
For Zheng Xin, Su Qi was originally a rival in love, but now he's become a rival in career.
When Zheng Xin bumped into Su Qi, she wasn't as arrogant anymore, and the onlookers around her undoubtedly felt awkward about her arrival.
"Even female celebrities like her can make a comeback."
Su Qi's feelings for Zheng Xin were complicated, especially after her memories were completely erased, she felt more indifferent when she saw Zheng Xin.
However, the perpetrator's actions cannot be excused.
Su Qi had also done things that ruined Zheng Xin's reputation. After taking revenge, the two were even.
Zheng Xin walked past Su Qi with a cold expression and said to Xu Qiyuan, "Can I audition for the female lead?"
Xu Qiyuan had no choice but to reason with her: "To be honest, Ms. Zheng's current reputation will affect the entire crew."
Moreover, given Zheng Xin's current status, she's barely qualified to play a supporting role to Su Qi.
Left with no other choice, Zheng Xin could only say, "Since you won't give me this chance..."
I thought she would turn over a new leaf and become a down-to-earth artist, but Zheng Xin laughed and said, "My brother will be on set soon. I'm determined to get this lead role!"
Forced into a corner, Xu Qiyuan was speechless for a moment.
Su Qi crossed her arms: "You want a role? At least you should act properly, right? You should memorize the script, right? You want to use connections, but you don't want to seize the opportunity. If you don't lower your standards, who will?"
"You!" Zheng Xin pushed Su Qi away: "What are you so smug about? You're only famous now because of this and that marketing. We're both artists, how much better do you think you are?!"
"Xin Xin, don't be rude." A male voice broke the silence.
Everyone turned to look, and the man's bright eyes gazed at them with a beaming smile.
"Zheng Ran?"
Su Qi's expression froze instantly. Zheng Ran tried to shake her hand: "What's wrong? Does seeing me make you so unhappy?"
Zheng Ran has a very good reputation in all walks of life in Hong Kong. Even though his sister Zheng Xin often causes him trouble, it is hard for people to associate him with someone like Zheng Xin.
There are countless girls in the circle who secretly admire Zheng Ran, probably as much as Shen Chaohuai, but not as much as Gu Xing.
However, during this period, Zheng Ran's reputation soared because he chose to help his future in-laws when they fell into trouble, which moved many people.
Despite the evil deeds committed by Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua, Zheng Ran still held no grudges.
Furthermore, Zheng Ran did not abandon his sister after Zheng Xin's incident, which made everyone believe in Zheng Ran's character even more.
There are many different opinions about how Zheng Xin recovered from her mental illness, but Su Qi still believes that she was cured by taking medication normally.
As her condition improved, Zheng Ran began to help his younger sister make a comeback, and as a result, all the spotlight fell on Zheng Ran.
Zheng Xin is still a little scared when she sees Su Qi, and hides behind Zheng Ran, not wanting to have any conflict with Su Qi at all.
Of course, Su Qi was also tired of this kind of open and covert struggle and was about to leave when Zheng Ran stopped her again.
"Su Qi, I think that given Xin Xin's current situation, she won't compete with you anymore. Why don't you just give up the lead role?"
Su Qi turned to look at Xu Qiyuan, who raised the script to cover his face.
Even though it was Aoyama who proposed the filming, they were controlled by others at every turn.
Su Qi replied with a smile: "If you hadn't said anything, I might have given it to your sister if I was in a good mood. But since you insisted on saying it, given my personality, why should I give away something that originally belonged to me?"
“This isn’t a good project for you. If you let it go, I’ll help you find a better production team.” Zheng Ran’s tone was still very calm at this moment.
Those around them agreed with Zheng Ran's words: "Young Master Zheng is so magnanimous. He can even lower himself to ask for help for his sister!"
Su Qi knew she had fallen into his trap. If she didn't agree, the hashtag "Su Qi acted like a diva on set" would top the trending searches the next day.
“Su Qi, I know you’ve suffered a lot of grievances in the Shen family, which has shaped your current personality, but you can’t be so willful. I’m begging you like this.” Zheng Ran frowned.
After that, many people began to speak out in defense of Zheng Ran.
"Su Qi can't be this unreasonable, can she?"
"Young Master Zheng helped us exchange resources. It wouldn't matter if this drama were given to Zheng Xin anyway, since they're all terrible dramas." Someone complained and quickly covered their mouth.
She clenched her fists, itching to take action on the spot, when Xu Qiyuan suddenly spoke up: "Young Master Zheng, why bother with our small production team's script? If you really can find good resources, why not give them to your sister? Why make Xiao Qi exchange them?"
"Speak up!"
That probably hit Zheng Ran right in the head. Su Qi suddenly realized that Zheng Ran was just making empty promises to her. In reality, he couldn't find any resources himself, and threatening Director Xu's small workshop was the only thing that worked.
Zheng Ran tried to calm himself down: "In that case, Mr. Xu, I've fully invested in your drama. You can ask me for reimbursement and funding for anything you need. Would it be appropriate for me to place someone in here?"
"After the broadcast is successful, I will give you two-thirds more of the revenue, which is a full 300 million."
He gave way too much.
Xu Qiyuan was sweating profusely. He had to support his family, and besides, he was just a low-level director in the industry. How could he dare to go against the Zheng family?
Zheng Ran has already handed the contract to Xu Qiyuan; it's a done deal.
"Alright then," Xu Qiyuan patted his thigh and stood up. "Sorry, Nannan, let's work together again in the next film, okay?"
Looking at everyone's expressions, Su Qi found it all quite laughable. What kind of godfather was he? He was the most pathetic father ever.
Well, nobody turns down money.
Su Qi pointed at the crowd, issuing a silent warning with a fierce glint in his eyes.
She burst out of the door, the surging air enveloping her.
Ironically, not long after Su Qi left, the crew members secretly complained that Zheng Xin was incompetent and relied entirely on connections. Instead, no one talked about Zheng Ran's use of investment to bribe people. Everyone was saying that Zheng Ran had done everything in his power for his sister and spared no expense.
【Master, what should we do? These are the resources you've painstakingly acquired over so long, and now they're gone!】
[Hmph! This NPC always knows how to play the good guy!]
“NPC?” Su Qi hesitated.
The NPC Feifei mentioned is Zheng Ran.
[As stated in my program, all characters in this world can be called NPCs.]
That wasn't the point. Su Qi's gaze shifted from Fei Fei to the distant, directly shining sunlight. Her eyes were filled with a halo of darkness, and she seemed lost in thought.
Shen Yu called: "I heard about it. Tch, I never imagined that after so many years away, the industry would be dominated by that new tycoon."
"I really don't understand how he made his fortune. I had never even heard of him a few years ago!"
Shen Yu's words caught Su Qi's attention: "Yes, I really haven't investigated his influence properly."
With his ability to dominate the entertainment industry and enjoy a good reputation in both business and politics, Zheng Ran's rise to power is definitely not simple.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu tried to contact the sea for a while without getting a response. Helpless, she put down her phone and looked out at the sea through the glass window of the seaside villa.
Before she could repay the favor, Shen Yu thought long and hard, then called Shen Chaohuai again: "Are you sure you can do it? Is it that hard to find resources for Su Qi?"
