Chapter 4 You’d better not try to scam me again.
Cheng Luanxin only officially debuted last year. Although she is well-known in the music circle, her influence is far less than that of Song Qiuchi. The number of fans of the two is also very different. Cheng Luanxin's number of fans is only a fraction of Song Qiuchi's, the difference between more than 20 million and more than 200,000.
In just one day, Cheng Luanxin's number of fans is about to break through the 300,000 mark, an astonishing increase.
Cheng Luanxin opened her eyes wide in shock: "Why? Just because I recommended my song during the live broadcast this morning? That's not necessary, right?"
Song Qiuchi also opened Weibo, and sure enough, Weibo was flooded with clips of this morning's live broadcast. Netizens were very good at archaeology and found many photos of the two of them in their school days, and even put together short videos of the couple. The output speed was extremely fast.
"I'm not saying this, but this couple is just too good to be true. I heard they were desk mates in school. What an enviable campus romance!"
"Wow, they really met at the top. They only revealed their status after they each won the Golden Harvest Awards. It seemed casual, but they were actually secretly in love."
"Aa ...
The more Song Qiuchi looked at him, the colder his expression became: "When you were draining the water, you should have thought of this result."
"To attract traffic?" Cheng Luanxin was puzzled. "Is that what you think of me? What good do these fans do to me? They don't follow me because they like me, so why should I be happy?"
She paused, then pointed at the phone screen. "And this super topic, Chi Xin An Xu, couldn't this be created by you and my CP fans? Who wants to hype up a CP with you?"
Song Qiuchi's face was gloomy. "Isn't it what you said about supporting us all the way since our student days? The fans even dug up the fact that we were desk mates in high school and found a bunch of photos of us together."
"Being deskmates was arranged by the teacher, not something I wanted!" Cheng Luanxin scrolled through the posts in the super topic. "These photos of us in the same frame are even less convincing. What's wrong with being in the same frame? There are so many people in the photo. Are they all a couple with you?"
Song Qiuchi: "Cheng Luanxin, don't say these useless things. This heat won't cool down for a while, and it might even continue until "Romance to You" is broadcast. You'd better not touch me again. If there is anything, we can communicate on the phone. It's good for both of us to live in peace."
"I'm trying to scam you?!" Cheng Luanxin took three deep breaths. "Song Qiuchi, remember what you said today. After the show starts recording, don't talk to me, or you'll get tainted. Get out, get out. How can Cheng Luanxin be worthy of appearing in Song Qiuchi's house? Don't let anyone film us again, or you'll have a hard time explaining yourself."
Song Qiuchi didn't want to say more to Cheng Luanxin, so he said, "Today is the 10th. I'll ask you to inject the inhibitor on the 15th."
Cheng Luan was so upset: "Go away!"
After driving Song Qiuchi away, Cheng Luan felt more and more unhappy. She simply went to a nail salon she often went to, intending to get a manicure as a revenge to calm her nerves.
The manicurist was also surprised to see that the person who came in was Song Qiuchi. Although many celebrities had manicures done by her, this was Song Qiuchi's first time.
And she is an old fan of Song Qiuchi.
Her face flushed and she stammered, "Hello, Teacher Song, do you have... do you have an appointment..."
Cheng Luan thought to herself that it was bad, she was so angry that she forgot to make an appointment. This nail salon has always been very popular, and you can't get a number without an appointment. She had been disappointed several times before.
"Sorry, I forgot to make an appointment. When is a convenient time for you? I'll come next time..."
The manicurist quickly interrupted: "It's okay, we can do it right now, please sit down and choose a style."
Cheng Luanxin: “……?”
She watched the manicurist walk into the cubicle and could faintly hear her talking on the phone to other customers: "I'm so sorry, I have something special this afternoon. I'll schedule another time for you. I can give you a 50% discount..."
Cheng Luanxin: “……???”
Is Song Qiuchi's face so useful?
The manicurist came out of the cubicle. The usually aloof girl suddenly transformed into a little fangirl and spoke softly: "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Do you have any styles you like?"
Cheng Luanxin pointed at the color palette: "If you want this dragon fruit color, just make a flame checkerboard pattern. It's up to you to decide."
The manicurist took a deep breath and took Cheng Luanxin's hand, or more precisely, Song Qiuchi's hand. "Okay, no problem. Your hands are so white, they'll look great in a dragon fruit color. Should we do it on the natural nail or with nail tips..."
Cheng Luanxin: "...put on the nail plate."
The manicurist said repeatedly: "Okay, no problem."
Seeing the manicurist polishing Song Qiuchi's nails so carefully and earnestly, Cheng Luanxin couldn't help but say, "Your location is quite easy to find, and the environment is nice too."
The manicurist was surprised and said, "Really? Then you must come here often in the future."
"Well, Cheng Luanxin recommended me here. She said she often does her jobs here." Cheng Luanxin observed the manicurist's expression.
The manicurist nodded: "Oh, Cheng Luanxin. If it hurts, please tell me."
...not moved at all.
Cheng Luan felt very uncomfortable. She liked this manicurist very much and was willing to chat with her every time she came. She didn't expect that she would lose so completely.
Now, hot girl style manicure is no longer popular.
The manicurist noticed that Cheng Luanxin was in a bad mood and was afraid that he had neglected her, so he personally ground a cup of coffee for her and ordered some small desserts from the dessert shop next door. This was enough to show how much he valued Song Qiuchi as a customer.
Cheng Luan felt even more sad.
Before leaving, the manicurist walked me to the door and said, "If you have any questions, just come to the store. Nail removal and touch-ups are free. Come often!"
Cheng Luanxin: I don’t want to come again in the short term.
Cheng Luanxin returned home in a depressed mood. Just as she ordered a takeout for herself, her agent Xin Ying arrived.
Xin Ying is a well-known agent in the industry with a sharp vision and outstanding abilities. All the artists she has managed have become popular. To Cheng Luanxin, she is a legendary figure.
Cheng Luanxin was a little scared, so she sat properly and tried to act more like Song Qiuchi.
Xin Ying glanced at Cheng Luanxin's beautifully done manicure and asked, "Why did you think of getting a manicure?"
Cheng Luanxin recalled that Song Qiuchi's words about not allowing this or that certainly didn't include manicures, so she dared to reply, "I just suddenly wanted to do it... Doesn't it look good?"
Xin Ying: "It's not that it's ugly, it's just that it doesn't fit your usual style. By the way, what happened with the live broadcast this morning? Why did you suddenly mention Cheng Luanxin?"
Cheng Luan felt guilty and made up a story: "I just thought of her. She gave me a lot of encouragement during the filming. Can't I say that?"
Xin Ying was obviously unaware of the past between Song Qiuchi and Cheng Luanxin. "It's not that I can't talk about it. It's always good to have a few friends in the industry. I just haven't heard you mention it before, so it seems quite new. Did you know that Cheng Luanxin is also going to participate in the recording of 'Romance to You'?"
Cheng Luanxin pretended not to understand: "Ah? Really? What a coincidence?"
"It's quite a coincidence," Xin Ying said, "So what are you thinking? Do you want to continue to maintain a simple friendship, or do you plan to hype up a couple with her?"
Cheng Luanxin was stunned at first, then quickly said: "We have been classmates for so many years, why are we hyping up a couple? Just maintain a good relationship."
Xin Ying said, "But 'Romance to You' is a dating variety show. Since you've agreed to participate, you're definitely going to have to build close relationships with the other people. Duan Mengshu and Bian Ning's companies have already contacted us. They're both interested in forming a relationship with you. What do you think?"
Cheng Luanxin had heard of both Duan Mengshu and Bian Ning: the former a renowned mystery novelist, the latter a popular online travel photographer. Cheng Luanxin, always naive, had assumed they were both amateurs, so she was slightly surprised to learn they had companies behind them.
"Didn't they say the show didn't have a script?"
"Where can I find an unscripted reality show these days?" Xin Ying looked at Cheng Luanxin strangely. "Why do I feel like you're acting a little weird today?"
Cheng Luan was afraid that she would be exposed again, so she quickly said, "In your opinion, who should I choose?"
Xin Ying said, "If you choose Luanxin, that's definitely the safest choice. After all, you've been friends for many years and have a certain tacit understanding. I'm just worried that a dispute over interest rates in the future might affect your relationship. I asked someone about Duan Mengshu, and she's a bit arrogant and not easy to get along with. Bian Ning has a good personal reputation, but her agency has a lot of scandals, so there's no guarantee they won't cause any trouble. It all depends on your choice."
"I..." Cheng Luanxin was in a dilemma. This matter was of great importance, and she couldn't make a decision for Song Qiuchi rashly. "How about I discuss it with Cheng Luanxin?"
Xin Ying: "Then ask now. We're going to be recording the day after tomorrow, and we have to reply to Duan Mengshu and Bian Ning by tomorrow at the latest."
A few hours ago, Cheng Luanxin had threatened Song Qiuchi, seemingly refusing to speak to him again. She didn't expect to be on the phone again so soon. It was a bit embarrassing. But there was no other way. Under Xin Ying's watchful eye, Cheng Luanxin picked up her phone and dialed Song Qiuchi, putting the call on speakerphone.
As soon as the call was connected, she hurriedly said, "Hello, Luanxin, what are you doing at home?"
Song Qiuchi paused and said, "I didn't do anything. Tell me."
"Ahem, it's like this. I heard that you're also going to participate in the recording of the program "Romance to You"?" Cheng Luanxin suppressed her shame and said, "Someone over there contacted you and wanted to hype up a couple with you..."
Song Qiuchi: "I haven't heard about it yet. What's the matter?"
"Well, it's my side, Duan Mengshu and Bian Ning..."
Before Cheng Luanxin could finish her words, Xin Ying couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Give me the phone."
Cheng Luanxin pursed her lips and handed the phone to Xin Ying.
Xin Ying was indeed quick and decisive, explaining things clearly in just a few words without revealing any private information. However, Cheng Luanxin had already mentioned Duan Mengshu and Bian Ning, and Song Qiuchi could guess most of what they were.
Because of Cheng Luanxin's unreliability, Song Qiuchi changed his mind.
Instead of letting her go out to hype up a relationship with someone she doesn’t know on your behalf, it’s better to keep an eye on her at all times and prevent her from doing anything weird.
Song Qiuchi: "I agree to cooperate with Qiuchi. Let's find time to meet tomorrow."
Cheng Luanxin: “???”
Where is the person who just said, "You'd better not try to scam me again"?
After hanging up the phone, Xin Ying scolded, "Qiu Chi, how can you be so defenseless? Even if we're friends for many years, we're not as honest as you. Cheng Luanxin has already agreed. I'll go and reject Duan Mengshu and Bian Ning. You should also make some preparations. We'll meet and discuss it tomorrow."
Cheng Luanxin: "...Oh."
Being Song Qiuchi is so troublesome.
