After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Li Yancheng's use of "bro" to address Su Qi left Shen Chaohuai dumbfounded.

"Dude?"

Li Yancheng nodded: "Is there a problem?"

Shen Chaohuai didn't understand. Who would treat their partner like a brother when they're in a relationship?

Yes, he understood. Li Yancheng didn't want to give Su Qi a proper reputation.

The next second, Shen Chaohuai grabbed Li Yancheng by the collar: "You brat! If you want to be my brother-in-law, you'd better show some attitude!"

Li Yancheng pleaded repeatedly, "No, good brother, brother, let me go! You must have misunderstood something, right? My sister and I..."

Just as Li Yancheng was about to explain, Su Qi, feeling a headache coming on and fed up with this farce, said, "Enough!"

She snapped, "Shen Chaohuai! Aren't you bored? I just finished work, what kind of trouble are you trying to cause? Do you want the whole world to know that you're making a big fuss about causing trouble for me because of my CP marketing?"

Shen Chaohuai loosened his grip. He hadn't expected Su Qi to be angry with him, even though he had always been on her side.

"I……"

Without giving Shen Chaohuai a chance to explain, Su Qi said, "You know my current situation. I'm not famous, I have no source of income. As a female star, I have no other choice, do you understand?!"

"Once you enter this industry, you can't avoid marketing this and that unless I leave the industry, but Tianhai's contract with me hasn't expired yet, and I would have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract, which I can't afford."

"Shen Chaohuai, I don't think you're really doing this for my own good. You're just selfish. You just can't stand me being with other people, right?"

It was rare for Su Qi to erupt in emotion, especially in front of him; this was the first time he had ever seen Su Qi like this.

Helpless and frustrated, they are swept along by unfair social rules, unable to break free.

A lotus flower born in a cold pond has been tinged with neon colors in this dazzling world.

He lowered his head, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.

Li Yancheng patted Su Qi's shoulder and advised Shen Chaohuai, "Don't be too harsh on your sister. She's different from me. I run my own studio and have more freedom than her."

“My marketing with her was just routine work; I wanted to help her, that’s all.”

Shen Chaohuai then realized his own petty thinking. Perhaps he was just too anxious and afraid that Su Qi had not met a good person.

Su Qi sighed: "You all leave for a moment, I want to talk to him alone."

Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai entered a private conference room in Tianhai. Everyone was unsure of what they were going to talk about and nervously held hands, hoping that things wouldn't go too far, especially not escalate to the point of getting out of control online.

She sat at the head of the conference room, arms crossed: "Our cooperation is limited to things related to the Shen family. Other than that, don't interfere with what I do."

Shen Chaohuai nodded slightly: "It seems that you have never regarded me as a true partner, or rather, you have never trusted me."

Su Qi composed herself, rubbed her temples, and looked extremely pained.

Shen Chaohuai tentatively said, "Actually... I don't really care who you're with."

After saying that, he felt a little guilty.

"I'm just worried that your marketing of being a couple will damage your image. You're a female celebrity, and a woman's infatuation is something that can't be discussed openly."

It comes from an ancient saying in this world.

He added, "Besides, it doesn't sound good to talk about being associated with a celebrity for marketing purposes, does it?"

Su Qi sneered, but her shimmering eyes looked at him with a dangerous expression: "Of course I know."

"But I don't see this as the only way. There are many ways to become a top star, and I will try them all. I will not give up on any one of them."

Even if she falls into the mud or plunges into the abyss, she will fight to the death to make a name for herself. She is the one who controls her own life.

She was never a perfect, good person, nor could she be an absolutely positive protagonist.

"You say I don't trust you? How can I trust someone like you?"

Shen Chaohuai met her gaze, his expression resolute: "What do you mean?"

"There must have been some secrets in the Shen family before, but you insisted that the actress was not a member of the Shen family, and you didn't explain it to me afterwards, which means you were hiding something from me."

"If you're not honest as a collaborator, then what right do you have to question me about my affairs?"

When this matter was brought up again, Shen Chaohuai became anxious as expected.

He knew there were strange things about the Shen family, but how could he discuss it with her in front of so many people?

"Alright! Let's cancel the cooperation then, and we'll leave each other alone from now on."

"Of course, if it involves the interests of both parties, I will not hesitate to act without hesitation."

Su Qi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Then I'll play along to the end."

The outcome that Shen Chaohuai least wanted to face was becoming enemies with Su Qi.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally clenched his fists, holding back his words, before turning around and slamming the door shut as he left.

As soon as Shen Chaohuai left, Su Qi stormed out, and everyone fell silent.

"Anyone who dares to spread the word about what happened between Shen Chaohuai and me today doesn't need to come to work tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss Su..."

Her gaze could kill.

People only dared to complain in private. Did they not know that Su Qi was so scary when she was angry? Much scarier than when she was being unserious.

Li Yancheng looked at Su Qi and sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was causing you so much trouble."

"Ignore Shen Chaohuai, he's just gone mad."

Su Qi, who still didn't understand Shen Chaohuai's behavior, only thought that he was making such a fuss because he had a crush on the original owner of the body.

Li Yancheng finally said, "I have already withdrawn the marketing press release. He is right, marketing is not good for you."

Su Qi found it utterly ridiculous; no matter which world she was in, the prejudices against women and the harsh rules remained unchanged.

When Shen Chaohuai got into his car after leaving the Tianhai Building, Shen Qingyue had just arrived at the foot of the Tianhai Building.

Shen Qingyue's agency is very close to Tianhai, so it's a good opportunity to see how badly Su Qi's reputation has been ruined.

However, having witnessed this scene, Shen Chaohuai left with a dark expression.

She raised the corners of her mouth: "Looks like my brother still believes what I said, Su Qi. Who told you to be so shameless and two-timing?"

Shen Qingyue opened her phone and her agent told her that the press releases about Su Qi and Li Yancheng had been withdrawn, and that the fake-acting incident had been resolved. Her goal of ruining Su Qi's reputation had not been achieved.

Shen Qingyue stomped her feet in dissatisfaction, but then suddenly remembered Shen Chaohuai's appearance just now and was secretly pleased.

"Thankfully, my brother wasn't taken away by that woman."

Su Qiming has to go to the dating reality show tomorrow morning. She was in a hurry when she received the notice, and now she has encountered so many troubles. She hasn't even signed the contract yet, so she has to go early tomorrow.

"I want to go back and rest."

Lynn looked at her with a pained expression and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Su Qi got into the car, feeling a bit more relaxed, and Fei Fei climbed from the back seat to the front passenger seat.

You seem to be in a bad mood.

The light screen was swiped out from the fingertip.

[The "Participating in a dating reality show" event is about to take place. Do you want to save your game here?]

Su Qi was so angry that she didn't think too much. The contract hadn't even been signed, so why was it being archived?

She angrily turned off the screen...
