    After Soong Chuyi's answer split, the quiet and elegant teahouse gradually became filled with Zhao Mucheng's eloquence.

    During this period of time, Soong Chuyi went to the bathroom to fix her makeup. When she returned, all the topics could not be connected anymore. Zhao Mucheng wanted to smack his lips, then asked curiously, "Does Miss Song often put on makeup?"

    "I need to do work." Soong Chuyi replied.

    Besides, in the company, she looked especially haggard with no makeup on. Everyone was putting on makeup, so why would she be ugly?

    Hearing that, Zhao Mucheng continued, "It's better for a woman to be plain. After all, too much makeup is not good for the skin."

    Soong Chuyi smiled and did not answer.

    This blind date that was supposed to end prematurely ended after three hours of awkward chatting in the teahouse.

    Zhao Mucheng's imagination was very good in the teahouse. Before dark, he would go to a scenic spot to play, then have a meal. When the night market was at its busiest, he would take a walk outside and go to the KTV to sing a few more songs.

    Soong Chuyi silently calculated the time. When she could return home free, it was already 11 midnight. Soong Chuyi did not nod nor reject him. She just walked out of the door of the teahouse and rejected Zhao Mucheng's arrangement with the excuse that she had some small problems to deal with at work. She even got into the taxi that she had called in advance and left. The moment she left, no matter how Zhao Mucheng's expression was, it did not affect her heart at all.

    Breathing the air of the house, Soong Chuyi felt as if she had been reborn. Even if Soong's mother called and scolded her again later, she wouldn't feel so bad.

    Soong Chuyi waited until she had bathed in the evening, but Soong's mother did not call. She tore off the mask on her face and climbed into bed in a good mood to sleep.

    As the days passed, the sun seemed to get closer and closer. At least the air conditioner wasn't turned on at night, so Soong Chuyi couldn't sleep at all because of the heat. In order to save on electricity bills, after work, she would grab her tablet and rub it against the air conditioner at the supermarket near the neighborhood.

    After finishing her work, Soong Chuyi proficiently opened Weibo. Hsu Youfeng still hadn't made any moves recently. After typing her card under the top post, she went to check the trending list.

    It was a hot summer, and her ice-cream boyfriend had already arrived...

    Soong Chuyi let go of her hand and saw that she had already clicked on it. She simply looked it up and down. The hottest post was a certain big red v, with long words and a short video.

    Soong Chuyi clicked on the video first because there were too many words. The style was a little dreamy, and listening to the music felt sweet to her. Then she saw the protagonist.

    The video was very short, only thirty seconds. Soong Chuyi rubbed her eyes and replayed it again. Her mind felt as if someone had knocked on it, and the memory of being knocked came back to her. After watching it for the third time, Soong Chuyi couldn't help but burst out.

    "F * ck..."

    "Slowly, slowly..."

    Isn't this Xu Xirann?!

    The handsome face in the video matched the masked date in her memory. Soong Chuyi felt as if she had been ambushed a hundred thousand times. She quickly pulled at her face. It was the pain that made her even more incredulous. Xu Xirann was a male star who lived in the spotlight.

    Soong Chuyi saved the video on her phone and quickly exited the topic. She searched for Xu Xirann on Weibo. The first two words had been typed out for her, not to mention how many trending words Xu Xirann had.

    The first was the ice-cream boyfriend, and the second was Xu Xirann. Soong Chuyi clicked on it and saw that it was Weibo's home page with a high definition handsome picture. Xu Xirann himself had 27 million followers on Weibo.

    Soong Chuyi felt even more dizzy. By the time she came back to her senses and regretted it, she had already sent the video to Xu Xirann himself.

    Mr. Xu, perhaps... Do you still have a twin brother with the same name in your family?

    Biting her finger, Soong Chuyi knew that she had asked a foolish question. Even if there were twin brothers, they wouldn't have the same name.

    After a while, seeing that there was still no reply, Soong Chuyi gave up and deleted the message.

    She didn't expect to bump into a big star one day. The awkward thing was that she didn't recognize anyone at all, and Xu Xirann even cooperatively said that he had a good impression of her. It seemed like they were all dealing with each other. After all, she was a big star, and there must be a lot of beautiful female stars working with her. Any random one of them could beat her by eight blocks.

    Soong Chuyi let go of the matter after comforting herself. It was just that she couldn't boast to anyone that she had eaten with Xu Xirann. She felt a little sorry.

    Later on, Soong Chuyi was able to sit naturally with the big star. Not only did they have dinner together, but they also went to the movies together. Only then did it dawn on her that the heavens had really treated her well, giving her the female lead's script just like that.

    However, she was still a member of the community, and she was not greedy for luxuries that could not be caught. Three months had passed since she had changed her profession, and the big boss had asked his employees for their opinions. Soong Chuyi had chosen to stay, but fortunately, her seat had not changed. The studio had recruited two new people, and an old designer had gone next door to take care of the new people.

    After all this time of publicity, the studio had become famous and was beginning to use signs as sponsors for variety shows, as well as receiving invitations from some of the more famous artists.

    Soong Chuyi went to the film studio to design a costume for the female artist in person. When the company made an appointment, they said they would meet in such and such a city.

    It was only when Soong Chuyi arrived that she found out that the female artist who was going to be private was Chiang Xingyao. She had accepted a second female lead modern drama.

    Soong Chuyi was received by the other party's assistant. She had yet to see Chiang Xingyao, but her manager came to talk to her. The other party requested that Chiang Xingyao's clothes be unique, beautiful, and especially unique.

    Soong Chuyi had already made preparations before she came. She took out her tablet and showed Chiang Xingyao the sketches of the studio's usual design, choosing a specific direction.

    Chiang Xingyao's agent pointed to a few pictures and some dresses. "Let's do it this way."

    At this moment, Chiang Xingyao was escorted into the lounge. The manager immediately went over to her and told her about the clothes. Chiang Xingyao seemed to be in a bad mood. She waved her hand and sat down on a soft chair. Her assistants immediately surrounded her, talking about plays and mending makeup.

    Soong Chuyi was cold for a while before Chiang Xingyao became interested in seeing what kind of clothes were designed. She waved her hand, "Come here."

    Handing the tablet to Chiang Xingyao, Soong Chuyi began to introduce the characteristics and meanings of each model.

    Chiang Xingyao was impatient to hear the long-winded explanation. She asked in a choking tone, "Can the designs you designed allow me to dress up as the female lead?"

    Soong Chuyi was stunned. She didn't know who the female lead was. Besides, she only provided clothes. The director was responsible for filming. If the camera asked the female lead to look good, or if the female lead was more beautiful than Chiang Xingyao, she couldn't guarantee that she wasn't.

    Seeing Soong Chuyi unable to answer, Chiang Xingyao's face turned ugly again, "Alright, alright, you can discuss it with my agent."

    After saying that, she waved her hand as if she didn't want to look at anyone.

    Chiang Xingyao's manager immediately waved her hand and asked Soong Chuyi to go somewhere else to explain the details. In the end, the big deal was also decided. The newcomer who came with Soong Chuyi was not convinced and muttered in her ear.

    "Sure enough, all celebrities have their own settings. This Chiang Xingyao's performance in real life is too different from what she's doing in front of the camera. She looks like a big shot."

    Soong Chuyi replied, "As long as we keep a low profile and work, we don't have to worry about anything else."

    In any case, it didn't matter if she was a big shot or not. She was a bastard who didn't earn money.

    The two of them left the film studio complex, closed the door, and focused on their work. Soon, the internet was abuzz with "Chiang Xingyao playing the big shot." Soong Chuyi was so scared that she thought their conversation had been overheard.

    Climbing onto the trending list, Soong Chuyi found out that after they left, Chiang Xingyao had a dispute with the female lead because she was in a bad mood. The scene of her disrespecting her seniors was secretly recorded.

    Soong Chuyi felt relieved that it didn't affect the list. The melon was half-eaten and left there. Not long after, it was still half-eaten after a colleague's conversation. Chiang Xingyao denied that arguing was just a part of the script and had nothing to do with disrespect for her seniors. She even posted a Weibo post about the female lead saying that they were friends.

    After a long time, the female lead finally returned to Weibo. During this period of time, the scandal about Chiang Xingyao had been brewing for a long time. Seeing with her own eyes that Chiang Xingyao's character had collapsed, she dug out more inside information about this trending topic and chatted happily around the area.

    What Chiang Xingyao actually had a financial backer? If it wasn't for that, she would have been the female lead as soon as she debuted, and she even had three or four movies in a row. The company also supported her. The director of this modern drama was a tough nut to crack, so her financial backer couldn't reach out his hand. Chiang Xingyao could only be the second female lead. Combined with what she said to Soong Chuyi about wanting to suppress the female lead, Chiang Xingyao guessed that Chiang Xingyao's filming wasn't going well, so she couldn't control her temper and flew into a rage. Later, when she was trending, she asked the financial backer to step in, bullying the female lead and forcing her to acknowledge her as a friend.

    It must be said that the young man's ability to gossip was rather frightening. It did sound like it, but they were not in the same circle, and they were not in the same boat.

    Chiang Xingyao's agent asked for three gowns for the ball, a dress that was more than ten feet wide and a white shirt. Under Soong Chuyi's persuasion, the other party chose the existing designs.

    When the contract ended, Soong Chuyi could recycle the dress and put it on display next door as a model. After that, she could continue to rent it out.

    There were no other orders in the studio these days, and everyone was working on them, because the cast and crew had arranged everything in advance and were now shooting and broadcasting, so they were in a hurry to use them.

    Chiang Xingyao's agent would ask about the progress in less than three days. A week later, Soong Chuyi returned to the film studio with some clothes.

    This time, Chiang Xingyao looked completely different from the last time. She spoke to everyone in a soft voice, praising Soong Chuyi's studio's design and workmanship. She wore a pleated skirt and went out to film.
