Chapter 115: New Play

Chapter 115

The next day on Weibo, the controversy over the alleged scandal in the original talent show was still brewing.

There was even a post among the top ten trending topics, with over 500,000 comments, all discussing whether Ji Xiaonian would be blacklisted.

Meanwhile, Shen Shuyao had also gone viral, surprisingly for liking posts that praised Ji Xiaonian.

The NianShu CP shippers had come out in full force, attacking the haters, as Shen Shuyao, an up-and-coming starlet in the entertainment industry during her prime, had openly liked marketing posts defending Ji Xiaonian.

This was essentially an indirect admission that she was on Ji Xiaonian's side.

In the entertainment circle, they were an extraordinary phenomenon. Ji Xiaonian and Shen Shuyao's fans mutually followed and supported each other, like one big family.

"Wah, I thought Shuyao had stopped caring about Xiaonian."

"Hahaha, the NianShu CP will never fall."

"Sisterly love reigns supreme."

"Isn't this publicly declaring her stance? Isn't Shen Shuyao afraid of the capitalists boycotting her too?"

"Are you kidding? Ji Xiaonian and Shen Shuyao are both artists from Huayu Entertainment. Why would Huayu be afraid of the capitalists?"

"I heard Shen Shuyao has connections with the higher-ups at Huayu."

"Really? No wonder she's so bold."

"Don't spread rumors. Shuyao and Xiaonian are a perfect match. Which friends in the entertainment industry would dare do this for each other?"

"Yeah, hahaha, most would run away when trouble arises. But Shen Shuyao directly confronted it head-on, brazenly liking multiple marketing posts."

"I saw it. She liked those razor-sharp posts that heavily supported Ji Xiaonian. Hahaha, I ship this couple so hard."

"NianShu CP forever!!"

Meanwhile, the hottest topic trending was whether Ji Xiaonian was the mysterious songwriter, which topped the charts.

Accompanying the public's speculation, netizens were divided into two camps - some said the mysterious person was Ji Xiaonian, while others said it was merely a coincidence, with various opinions flying around.

In just one night, a Weibo account called (Seeking Wealth with Ji Xiaonian) gained a whopping 50 million followers in a short time.

He Yi couldn't help but comment from the side, "Sis, that was too perfunctory. You didn't even post a proper Weibo, just commenting under someone else's post."

Ji Xiaonian handed her phone over, "You do it then."

He Yi shook her head, "You already posted, nevermind. People online are saying you're unpredictable anyway."

Shen Shuyao nodded and smiled, "Xiaonian rarely posts on Weibo or even moments on WeChat."

Ji Xiaonian was slightly taken aback. Indeed, she seldom posted moments in the past, unlike her former colleagues who loved sharing their lives, posting whenever they went out to play. She was the opposite - very quiet.

After transmigrating into this book, since she was using Ji Xiaonian's personal WeChat, she didn't make many changes either. She only had a few friends and could count the moments on one hand. She had seen the sole moment post before, which had pained her heart for a long time.

"Oh right, He Yi, did you call to ask about my other phone like I asked you to?" Ji Xiaonian suddenly remembered.

He Yi paused, then replied, "I already asked a long time ago, I just forgot to tell you. The landlord said they didn't have it, and the property management office also said they didn't have it."

Ji Xiaonian was baffled. There must have been something on that other phone. She didn't know where the original owner had put it, which was strange.

"If you can't find it, just forget about it. It's just an old phone anyway. Or should I get you a new one?" He Yi asked.

Ji Xiaonian shook her head, "No need, if I can't find it, then forget about it."

"By the way, we'll be wrapping up this drama in about 10 days. The company has arranged a new drama for you, with a domineering lady persona," He Yi suddenly remembered.

Ji Xiaonian was surprised, "A domineering lady? What about Shuyao?"

"I have another job lined up, so I won't be acting with you for now," Shen Shuyao said with a hint of disappointment.

"Why the sudden arrangement?" Ji Xiaonian didn't understand.

"It's a movie, and you're basically the female lead, kind of an antagonist role, involved in a love-hate relationship with the male lead. It won't take long, probably just two months to film a movie," He Yi explained with a smile.

Ji Xiaonian considered it and nodded, "Alright, when is the audition?"

"No need to audition, the company got the role for you. You can go straight to filming once it starts. I heard the male lead is being kept under wraps, so I don't know who it is either," He Yi said, puzzled. "I didn't expect you to get so lucky and land a movie role. I don't know why the company signed you for this, but make the most of this opportunity, sis. Try to produce a quality work."

"Yeah, Xiaonian, do your best," Shen Shuyao cheered her on from the side.

Ji Xiaonian, on the other hand, didn't care. Her ultimate goal wasn't to be a great actress or win awards. She was simply trying to make money.
