Chapter 28: The Ordinary Road

Chapter 28

"Are we still going over tonight?" Xiao Duo asked.

Shen Shuyao was a little distracted. She didn't want to go, but she was also afraid of Elder Sister Ling's anger.

"I think we should go over and take a look tonight first," Xiao Duo thought for a while and frowned, "If we really feel something is wrong, we can make excuses and leave. What do you think?"

Shen Shuyao was stunned. She could only do this, so she nodded and sighed, "I'll listen to you."

On Ji Nian's side, she had been struggling with how to make money these past few days. She wondered if she should sing another song and release it? But with her fame, she didn't know how much money she could make by singing this time.

Her brain capacity was also limited. What if she runs out of songs to sing one day and still hasn't paid off her debts? So these days she started worrying.

"Oh, it's not easy to make money. I still owe Cheng Liran 2.77 million and the original owner's company 4 million," Ji Nian sighed.

These days she had been holed up at home, feeling a little anxious and confused. To be honest, she hadn't been in this novel world for a long time.

The acting profession was too different from her previous one, and she could barely touch it. And she didn't have a company or anyone to sign a contract with her, so she had almost no resources coming her way.

Everything was aimless and unplanned. She felt that if she wanted to make money as an internet celebrity, making videos should still be the main focus.

Thinking of this, Ji Nian opened Douyin to see how other influencers shot videos, but suddenly saw that the TV series Shen Shuyao starred in had released a trailer.

The title read that it was an TV drama adapted from the hottest novel, and it had been scheduled to premiere tonight at 8 pm.

Ji Nian gave a start. How could she have forgotten about the female lead these days and didn't even contact her, just thinking about other things?

After browsing through the trailer, she found that the princess Shen Shuyao played really caught people's eyes at first glance - tender, naughty yet weak, and her interactions with the general strangely carried a sweet flavor.

The comments below were very friendly. As expected of the female lead, her halo was still there, and most of the comments were positive.

"This actress looks familiar."

"I've read the original novel. This princess matches the image very well. Her acting doesn't seem bad from the trailer."

"A new actress? So pretty."

"The trailer makes me really look forward to it."

"I hope this newcomer won't disappoint the original work."

"Oh my god, isn't anyone curious who this mystery person is?"

"This composer is truly amazing. Why did he compose a song for Ji Nian? Is there any inside story?"

On Cheng Liran's side, his agent Eighth Older Brother brushed across the video, and got all pumped up. He wanted to buy this song!

"If this song is really for sale, let's buy it!" Eighth Older Brother said excitedly.

When Cheng Liran heard the woman's ethereal voice in the video, although she sang this song beautifully, he felt that if sung by a male voice, the style would be even better brought out.

"Aren't you very familiar with her? In any case, she still owes us money. You buy the song and offset it as part payment, and at the same time ask around about who this mystery person is," Eighth Older Brother thought in his mind.

Cheng Liran frowned. He hadn't been in contact with this woman for a long time. Undeniably, this song really sounded very nice and made him feel like singing it.

"Let me think about it," Cheng Liran said, frowning. He felt he shouldn't have any more involvement with this woman, but couldn't help feeling attracted to this composition.

"Stop pondering. I'll go contact her," Eighth Older Brother said and rushed out impatiently.

On He Yi's side, when she came across the video she was dumbfounded. This song was too amazing. She opened WeChat and tapped into the chat.

He Yi: Sister, you're awesome to be able to come up with this. Announcing this song for sale straight out, you're so daring!

Ji Nian: I had no choice, I'm too poor.

He Yi: Who exactly is this mystery person? The song is making such a stir online, you've occupied the top three hot searches.

Ji Nian: Top three in the hot search?

He Yi: Number one is your "The Road of Ordinary" video, second is "(Mystery)", and third is (Ji Nian Who Wants to Strike it Rich) your newly changed ID name.

Ji Nian: ...

He Yi: You really are blessed, how come you seem like you're running a hacking program now?

Ji Nian: If I was hacking, would I be still be in debt?

He Yi: Sorry for bothering...

Ji Nian: Talk to you later.
