Chapter 69

In the villa's living room, Qiu Xing sat on the sofa, engrossed in drinking. On the table were empty bottles scattered haphazardly, along with many unopened bottles of liquor.

It has a full range of liquors, including imported spirits, baijiu (Chinese liquor), and red wine.

"Mr. Qiu, someone is looking for you." Secretary Xiao Wang came in from outside and reported in a low voice, "The other party claims to be a friend of Miss Rong."

Upon hearing the name "Miss Rong," Qiu Xing opened his hazy, drunken eyes and said, "Let her in."

Qiu Xing casually shook the bottle in his hand, then drank it all in one gulp.

Since returning from the film crew that day, Qiu Xing has been drinking every day. He hasn't lived such a decadent life in a long time.

He likes to get drunk, and he dreams of anything!

A moment later, Xiao Wang led Zhu Yingsi in. Zhu Yingsi's heart was pounding, especially after entering the living room and seeing Qiu Xing's condition; her heart almost jumped into her throat.

The drunken Qiu Xing had a somewhat cynical air about him, a typical 'bad boy'. His wide-open collar revealed his sexy collarbone, and with each sip of wine, his Adam's apple bobbed with an indescribable charm.

Zhu Yingsi was first captivated by the beauty before her, and then she was overjoyed.

She knew her chance had come. She was dressed the same as the woman he liked, and she was drunk. Would he mistake her for someone else?

Zhu Yingsi felt that even God was on her side.

Zhu Yingsi boldly walked to within a meter of Qiu Xing and softly called out, "President Qiu."

Qiu Xing leaned to one side, glancing at Zhu Yingsi without reacting; the room was eerily quiet.

Xiao Wang kept his head down, cold sweat trickling down his back. He had already figured out what the woman meant.

The other party must have never seen Rong Rong's real appearance, otherwise they would never have dressed like this to approach Qiu Xing.

She's being incredibly delusional and has only brought shame upon herself!

"What are you doing here?" Qiu Xing asked coldly, his voice hoarse from being drunk.

"I want to be an artist under Fanxing Entertainment!" Zhu Yingsi replied loudly. "Rong Rong and I are best friends. We're in the entertainment industry together, and I can take good care of her."

"President Qiu knows." Zhu Yingsi lowered her head as if embarrassed, but she forgot about her outfit today.

If she were wearing a ladylike dress, such a gesture would appear demure and gentle, but if she were wearing a flamboyant or outlandish outfit, it would look completely incongruous.

She might as well be a little more arrogant and domineering; that way, she could show some personality.

Qiu Xing frowned, waiting for him to continue, while Xiao Wang looked away, unable to bear watching.

“Rong Rong has been willful since she was a child. She speaks and acts impulsively and easily offends people. With me watching over her, things will be much better. I can protect Rong Rong from getting hurt.”

After saying that, Zhu Yingsi smiled.

Even Xiao Wang understood the meaning behind her words.

Is this saying that Miss Rong is immature, ill-mannered, and doesn't know manners? And she's the one who's polite, kind-hearted, and gentle? Is she supposed to keep an eye on Miss Rong?

Xiao Wang was speechless. Their boss, Qiu, had connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. How could he not see through her little scheme?

"Is that so?" Qiu Xing said casually, his voice carrying a coldness that only Xiao Wang could hear.

Zhu Yingsi lowered her head, appearing obedient and docile. Completely oblivious to the ruthlessness in Qiu Xing's eyes and the bloodthirsty smile on his lips, she was lost in her joyful anticipation.

“Okay.” Qiu Xing looked at Xiao Wang meaningfully, “Bring her the contract.”

"The same as Rong Rong's."

Xiao Wang shuddered, instantly understanding Qiu Xing's meaning.

This is to retrieve the trap contract that was originally prepared for Miss Rong, but which she was not allowed to sign.

Xiao Wang quickly opened the folder, found the contract, and handed it to Zhu Yingsi. Zhu Yingsi was overjoyed, blinded by Qiu Xing's words that she was just like Rong Rong, and signed the contract without even looking at it.

......

Taking advantage of the high level of online interest in Rong Rong and in order to catch the National Day holiday release, "Unreachable" immediately began post-production after filming wrapped up, and was ready for release in less than two months.

The National Day holiday is just around the corner, and tonight at midnight, "Unreachable" will begin its advance screenings.

[The film "Unreachable" is truly remarkable. Despite immense pressure, script leaks, and actor boycotts, it still managed to complete filming as planned and even held advance screenings. Just how confident do they are?]

[Being infamous is still being famous. Maybe they rushed to release it while the hype was still high because of netizens' curiosity about this Rong Rong. Don't you guys want to see who this Rong Rong is?]

[You know what, I have a feeling the movie's opening day box office will be pretty high; it's all about the novelty!]

When did Li Gu start relying on hype to sell her movies?

[Li Gu has always been a box office guarantee; I watch every single one of her films. If she makes a terrible movie this time just to generate buzz, I'll blacklist her for life!]

[What kind of ridiculous acting can a 'laughable, punk' type like that possibly produce?]

It's truly tragic that even Director Li succumbed to the tyranny of capital!

......

Netizens have been discussing it in various ways, and as that person said, even if it's out of curiosity or a desire to see something new, many people want to go to the cinema to see what "Unreachable" will turn out like.

With pre-sale tickets soaring, Li Gu and other key members of the production team were all smiles. Meanwhile, industry peers were just waiting for feedback from the first batch of viewers. Everyone guessed that the box office for "Unreachable" would plummet the next day!

Rong Rong didn't have time to pay attention to the box office data. Right now, she was trying on a dress, as she was going to attend a charity gala that evening.

This is the largest charity gala in the country, and in addition to celebrities from the entertainment industry, bigwigs from the business and political circles are also in attendance.

Tonight, Shang Feng will accompany Rong Rong to the event.

The Charity Gala sends an invitation to Shang Feng every year, but Shang Feng has never attended in person; he always sends someone to represent the Shang family.

But this year is different. The Charity Foundation invited Rong Rong, so Shang Feng decided to go in person.

This excited the organizers of the event, who had received the news early on. Some business leaders immediately changed their schedules to make time for the day, just to meet Shang Feng at the party. Of course, it would be even better if they could chat with Shang Feng for a few minutes.

Rong Rong also received special attention from the organizers of the "Spark" event. The organizers invited Rong Rong to donate her personal items to participate in the auction, and the proceeds from the auction will be donated to children in impoverished mountainous areas in Rong Rong's name.

Unlike other auctions, the auctions held by the Torch Charity Foundation consist mostly of the sellers' personal belongings. If it weren't for the sellers' fame, these items would have no collectible value whatsoever.

The auction items provided to the Spark Charity have always been A-list celebrities and popular stars. Now, the organizers of Spark Charity have surprisingly invited Rong Rong, a minor celebrity who has not yet officially debuted, to provide auction items.

Rong Rong was unaware of the inside story. Upon receiving the invitation, she focused solely on preparing the items she wanted to donate, without any distractions.

This brought a knowing smile to Shang Feng, who had been watching everything unfold. His little girl was just that pure and innocent.

Rong Rong prepared a traditional Chinese landscape painting.

I learned it from Li Tianyi in the last world.

Her painting skills may not be comparable to those of ancient masters, but by today's standards, they are definitely presentable and would earn her a lot of respect.

I was already incredibly surprised even before I saw Shang Feng.

Shang Feng never expected that the girl, who was already perfect in his eyes, had even more amazing and unknown sides.
