Chapter 106 True revenge is never afraid of taking a long time

Of course there was no roast lamb.

Shen Shiman seemed to have expected this and did not prepare any ingredients.

In the evening, she and Song Wenxing went out to eat spicy hot pot.

"It turns out that this life is full of fireworks, which is how people live."

Song Wenxing couldn't eat anything too spicy. Even a slightly spicy meal made him gasp.

But he was extremely happy.

In the past, if he wanted to eat some spicy hot pot, it was easier than digging up the ancestral grave of a broker.

Now, not only can I eat it, I can eat a whole bowl of it.

More importantly, he can eat with Man Man...

Song Wenxing always pretended to be casual and secretly looked at Shen Shiman.

Watch her pick out the vegetables in the spicy hot pot to eat, watch her prefer beef rolls to meatballs, watch her occasionally open her mouth slightly because of the heat and spiciness, her little tongue exhaling.

Song Wenxing felt like he couldn't see enough.

I really want to watch it like this for the rest of my life...

After they finished eating, they didn't rush back and walked slowly along the street.

It doesn't matter if you pass by.

At worst, I can just walk back later.

Song Wenxing did not mention getting back together, so Shen Shiman naturally wouldn't ask about it either.

There seemed to be an invisible tacit understanding between the two of them, always maintaining this relationship that was like a couple but not a couple.

No one said anything further...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Shiman suddenly asked, "Why did you choose to enter the entertainment industry?"

In fact, she wanted to ask, why did she so resolutely choose to enter the entertainment industry, even at the cost of breaking off relations with her family and having her financial support cut off by the Song family parents...

Why do you suddenly want to quit the circle?

It was rare for Song Wenxing to remain silent for a long time when Shen Shiman was asking questions.

It lasted so long that Shen Shiman thought he would no longer speak, and was about to give up the investigation and go home.

"I thought you would like..."

Song Wenxing's voice was so low that Shen Shiman thought he was hallucinating and asked subconsciously, "What?"

Think she'll like it?

Why do you think so...

She must have heard it wrong.

Song Wenxing took a deep breath, as if mustering up his courage: "I thought... you would like the entertainment industry, like acting, like making movies, like... everything related to being an actor."

When they were little, they always played house.

Shen Shiman is always the one who makes plans and assigns different roles to each of them.

And every time is like a TV series, never the same.

At that time, Shen Shiman said, "When I grow up, I will definitely be an amazing director."

In addition, with Qiao Shixin as the leader of the Qiao Group, Shen Shiman does not necessarily need to join the company to gain experience and work hard.

She can choose to do what she likes.

so……

When he was 18 years old, Song Wenxing accidentally learned that a drama invested by Qiao Shixin had no male lead and could not find one.

People in the industry are not optimistic about this drama and think it is nonsense.

Especially this drama, Shen Shiman also participated in the adaptation...

Everyone thought that the Qiao Group was just playing with children.

At that time, the Qiao Group focused more on industry.

There are almost no projects involving entertainment...

He is a complete layman.

It's normal that no one is willing to save face.

Occasionally, there are a few people who are willing to talk to them about investment, but they also clearly stated that they cannot interfere with the creation. Even if they insert someone, they cannot force someone to play the leading role without the ability to play the leading role...

Simply put, they only accept money from the Joe Group and do not accept any non-professional advice.

We talked about it later...

But the male lead has not been decided yet.

At that time, those who were more famous looked down on such a "little rotten" person, and those who were not famous also wanted to work hard to become famous...

In an era when gods were fighting each other, the first drama produced by Qiao Group when it first entered the entertainment industry was a fairy-tale drama... naturally, no one took it seriously.

Everyone would rather play a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh role in the ancient costume palace fighting drama or modern idol drama next door than come here.

It was at this time, at the Qiao family's dinner table, that Song Wenxing took the initiative to ask to play the leading male role...

It was summer vacation at the time and no one thought much of it, thinking he just wanted to experience working a summer job.

So, Qiao's parents agreed very quickly.

Song's parents didn't have any objections either.

That drama was the popular "This Time"...

Neither the Qiao nor the Song family had expected that Song Wenxing would enter the entertainment industry and even drop out of school to retake the entrance exam for film school.

“At that time, I thought you liked it.”

Shen Shiman said that she wanted to be a director in the future...

Then he will be her only male protagonist.

"…I was just saying that when I was playing house."

It's no different from me wanting to be a scientist or an astronaut when I grow up.

Most people, when they were young, had no idea what a scientist or an astronaut was.

I just think that’s awesome and powerful, so I want to be the big shot who sounds the most awesome.

At that time, Shen Shiman hadn't even thought about what to do...

She was silent for a long time.

"I thought you liked the entertainment industry and the job of an actor..."

That's why she decided to become a director on the spur of the moment.

Especially after joining Song Wenxing's fan group, she became more determined to become a director.

Because fans all say that if my brother has more leading roles and competes for awards, it will be more valuable...

So...she wants to be a big director, one with a lot of say.

So...

At least Song Wenxing won’t be short of male leading actors.

She wanted Song Wenxing to fly bravely and without worry.

Whether he wants to do scientific research or become an actor, she will follow closely and be his biggest supporter...

Originally, she was planning to take over an investment company under the Qiao Group that was almost running out of money.

This way she would have enough funds, and especially a legitimate name, to invest in any research project he was doing.

But what happened later...

"...I guess in this world, most things are just a matter of coincidences."

I wanted to be something for you, and you wanted to be something for me, but the result was all wrong...it turned out to be something we had never imagined in the beginning.

“We should just be ourselves.”

"Even if we can't meet at the top, at least we can shine in our respective fields..."

This is also not a bad match.

Song Wenxing never thought things would turn out like this.

There was some helplessness in his bitter smile.

Maybe, they lacked communication...

If only we could talk about our secrets earlier like we are doing now.

Maybe it will be different...

"You don't have to think so. It would have been great if we hadn't made this choice."

"There's no need to imagine how wonderful the other path you didn't take would be... that will only bring you trouble."

Seeing that he seemed to be getting stuck in a rut, Shen Shiman couldn't help but say something to persuade him.

Song Wenxing shook his head.

He didn't regret it, nor did he want to beautify the road he hadn't traveled...

"I don't regret my choice..."

I just regret hurting you.

Indirect harm is also harm... He feels that it will be difficult for him to forgive himself in his life.

Shen Shiman seemed to have a telepathic connection and guessed what he didn't have the courage to say.

She didn't want to deny that the terrible experience had indeed caused her indelible damage...

At least before that, her understanding of the world had always been very beautiful.

Later...

Gradually, more gray colors appeared.

"Song Wenxing, let's work together to make another movie."

Shen Shiman suddenly said, "After we finish filming, let's put that matter behind us, how about that?"

For some things, a simple forgiveness is obviously not enough to balance the resentment.

But if you keep brooding over it, it's just annoying yourself...

She doesn't want that and doesn't want to.

Why not give each other a chance to let go...

Song Wenxing looked confused: "Filming a movie?"

Shen Shiman nodded.

"I took on the variety show Love Travel in the first place partly because of Man-Chiu Lam."

She talked about all her mental journey during those seven years of silence.

"In the beginning..."

She felt only disgust, distress, and fear about the sudden hallucinations.

She admitted that the malicious words and even the threatening curses that came to her door were all over the place...

It really caused her a lot of trouble.

In particular, many of those people's plans were discussed openly in front of her.

At that time, although Song Wenxing had a lot of fans, they had not formed a large-scale organization.

It was she who, in her capacity as the fan fiction wife and fan artist of Song Wenxing, joined hands with several other big fans to set up the fan club and fan group.

The initial constraints were not very strong.

They are all newcomers and this is their first time doing something like this.

Naturally, I don't have enough experience...

Therefore, she often sees those people who used to chat with her and still chat with her in the group, discussing how to "force" her to death.

They even thought about finding her out, dragging her into a group and cyberbullying her until she shut herself off and never dared to contact Song Wenxing again...

At the beginning, she would give some advice.

Later I realized that I couldn't persuade him, so I just gave up.

Gradually, she no longer appeared in those groups.

Until the hallucinations started...

She didn't understand and wasn't willing to accept it.

She felt like a cowardly loser who was defeated by those malicious people...

Those hallucinations of herself jumping from tall buildings seemed to be mocking her.

Mocking her uselessness...

She couldn't accept herself being so vulnerable.

"…I can't accept that I would end up in such a quagmire."

So she tried to save herself many times.

“Eventually, I wrote a script.”

"In the script, I killed them all..."

Not one was spared.

"That alone was certainly not enough, but at that time, many people were still under 18 years old."

Even if we sue, it won't do much.

A few words of education, an apology, compensation... these are not what she wants.

“So I’m willing to give them a chance.”

And give them time to grow up.

If these people realize as they grow older that what they did was wrong and correct it in time...even if they don't apologize to her for their original behavior, it can be barely forgivable.

But if these people only grow older but don't grow smarter, then...

"I haven't been trapped in this small courtyard all these years, feeling sorry for myself and complaining about myself."

She also sponsored a group of Dharma masters.

After they graduate, we will select the best ones and recruit them into our own legal team.

"Back then, they scolded me, harassed me, and threatened me, causing great trouble to my daily life."

Shen Shiman chuckled, a little disdainful: "I think they are still young and I can't hold them accountable until they go to jail..."

Now, they are grown up.

You can be responsible for your words and actions.

"There were also quite a few people who benefited from that operation."

So the Navy Studio was established later.

"Now those people are no longer satisfied with the huge profits they get from being a navy."

"Some of the university students I sponsored before were not very capable after graduation, so it was a bit difficult for them to join the Qiao Group."

Song Wenxing suddenly had a bold guess.

Sure enough, he soon heard Shen Shiman chuckle and say, "So I arranged for them to join those water army companies. One of them has already been promoted to the position of financial director. We are just waiting for the right time to report their companies for tax evasion under their real names."

Friends who often evade taxes know that this kind of real-name reporting means that at least one of you and the person being reported will be in trouble.

True revenge is never afraid of taking a long time.

"So, this opportunity... is the movie you just mentioned that you wanted me to shoot?"

Song Wenxing: "Is it about cyberbullying?"
