Chapter 40. This is... forty chapters.



Xi Xinxin, a student admitted through the guaranteed admission program, was feeling a bit nervous taking the college entrance examination for the first time. Outside the examination hall, a large number of reporters and parents had already gathered, and the streets were unusually bustling.

Everything was quiet.

Xi's parents also refused to work today and waited outside the examination hall.

When the broadcast started, a war called "learning" was also launched.

Time passed second by second.

The first student came out, and a group of people had already surrounded him for an interview.

Xi Xinxin and the others came out together.

Soon, a group of reporters rushed to Xu Chacha, surrounding her and launching a barrage of interviews: "Xu Chacha, do you think you can do well on this exam? Will you officially enter the entertainment industry? Will your fabricated image of a top student collapse? Are you going to give up your bright future to become an actress?"

"You've become famous at such a young age, is there some unspeakable secret behind it?"

Do you think you deserve the praise from netizens right now?

As microphones were handed to her one after another, Xu Chacha felt unwell. She suppressed a sudden urge to vomit and was about to speak when Xi Xinxin pulled her aside. Xi Xinxin smiled and stood in front of her, saying, "Please ask some questions related to your studies, thank you."

Before the reporters could react, she pulled Xu Chacha into the Xi family's car.

"Hey! Who is this guy who's so arrogant!"

"I've taken a picture; now I can write the caption."

"What the hell? This is ridiculous."

Xu Chacha, still preoccupied with the question from earlier, nervously clutched the hem of her clothes: "Xinxin, if I become an actress, will you look down on me?"

Xi Xinxin moved slightly closer to Xu Chacha and massaged her hand that was clutching the hem of her clothes: "What is a bright future and what is not? It is never defined by others. When you make a name for yourself in the right industry, or when you can live a stable life, that is enough."

Xi Dai then got into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened her seatbelt: "Driver, let's go and follow the car in front."

Then he turned his head and said, "There's nothing to think about. Today is the anniversary of Ya's treat, let's go and rip her off."

Xu Chacha's mood brightened, and the three of them high-fived each other before setting off.

However, Xi Xinxin underestimated the ability of some reporters to fabricate stories. The next day, a headline went viral, and the video had clearly been maliciously edited. When the reporter asked questions, Xu Chacha didn't want to answer and gave them a cold look. She even had someone pull her away.

She's currently in the spotlight, and in the video, she's portrayed as arrogant and looking down on everyone.

Negative comments from netizens also followed.

"So what if she's good at studying? She's so arrogant. I used to like her, but who knows if she can even do well on tests?"

"Who was that woman who pulled her away? She thinks she's some big shot?"

"It's just a short clip from a TV series, what's the big deal?"

Mo Chen should be in charge of Xu Chacha's entertainment affairs now, and Xi Xinxin found Mo Chen's contact information and made a voice call.

"What's wrong with Miss Xi?"

"Have you seen what's going on online? Let's arrange to meet somewhere to talk."

The two soon met at a coffee shop, and Xi Xinxin didn't stand on ceremony: "Are you Xu Chacha's manager now?"

Mo Chen nodded with a serious expression. On his way here, he had seen an interview that was detrimental to Xu Chacha's future development: "I'm here as her agent. Xu Chacha is talented. You know my family runs an entertainment company. I want to promote her."

He tapped the table lightly with his index finger and opened the maliciously edited video: "In this video, they deliberately omitted the questions they asked during the interview. It's obvious they know their questions are absurd. I wonder if any of your reporters captured the original events?"

Mo Chen shook his head: "Right now, we can only rely on our work to explain things. I've already taken on a lot of resources that are very suitable for Xu Chacha to start with supporting roles. Then, we'll naturally hold a press conference later, and I think this issue will definitely come up. We'll explain then."

"You mean we have to just endure this grievance?" Xi Xinxin narrowed her eyes slightly: "That won't do."

Mo Chen couldn't help but shiver: "What do you think, Miss Xi?"

"Stop calling me Miss Tianxi. I have a name. I need to use your abilities to get me trending on social media. I'll send you a document later, and you can decide what to do."

"Okay," Mo Chen nodded repeatedly. After seeing Xi Xinxin leave, he put away his playful smile. He believed that Xu Chacha must have great value.

Soon, a document was sent to Mo Chen's email. When he opened it, he was not only impressed by Xi Xinxin's efficiency, but also impressed by the fact that the document and the new video explained which parts of the video were maliciously edited and restored the reporter's questions.

If it cannot be fully utilized in the hands of others, it will be forcibly removed. But Mo Chen has his own way.

(Host, how did you reconstruct their original problem?)

Xi Xinxin raised an eyebrow: "Of course it was maliciously edited."

Of course, Xu Chacha's simultaneous dominance of the trending topics for defamation and exoneration for so many days has drawn much dissatisfaction, but these issues cannot be discussed openly. Now is the time for her to begin making an effort. She can only offer small acts of assistance.

Xi Xinxin's shop was now fully in her possession, and she began moving things around and decorating.

Soon the first floor took shape, with vine decorations pasted on the walls, a small dessert counter, and a coffee-making platform.

She divided the innermost wall into several sections, each covered with sticky notes, then added some decorations, and placed a small basket next to it with signs for writing on sticky notes, as well as pens of different colors and styles.

There were some large pieces of equipment that she simply couldn't move, so she thought of Xiao Teng and his gang from last time. She called them over and directed them on where to put the equipment, and of course, they were paid for it.

The music stage and bar on the second floor are finished; all that's left is the third floor, which she's using for her own accommodation for convenience.

Seeing that Xiao Teng and the others were genuinely troubled by their work, she introduced them to Mo Chen, saying it was for bodyguard interviews; of course, whether they passed or not was up to them. Nevertheless, they were all deeply grateful to Xi Xinxin.

Xi Xinxin had already thought of a name for the shop and had written the general details on a small board so that passersby could see it.

The store is called "Xi".

She wrote down that anyone seeking assistance could do so on the first floor, where desserts and coffee were available, and that there was music and a bar on the second floor. She placed the sign on the transparent glass floor inside.

It wasn't time to open yet, so Xi Xinxin contacted three bands to see if they were available, including the siblings Gu Bei and Gu Nan.

When the three bands arrived at the same time, Xi Xinxin spotted a familiar face: Guan Jing.

"Is this your lead singer?"

The member was also excited: "Boss, this guy is amazing. His rhythm and tone are perfect for our band's style."

Xi Xinxin didn't waste any more words: "I will open the second floor ahead of schedule. You three can discuss your expected salaries and shift arrangements yourselves."

Gu Bei and Gu Nan arrived as well. Seeing that Xi Xinxin had made arrangements, they grabbed some tools and nodded to indicate that they were okay with it.

Everything is ready, and they are just waiting to open for business. Xi Xinxin can pay their salaries for three or four months at the moment, and how well the business develops during these three or four months is also the key.
