Since she mentioned "divorce" twice before, although she hasn't mentioned it again, Zhou Cheng has become wary.
He specifically asked Sheng Zhuo to buy one of these small boxes online to hide their marriage certificate, preventing her from secretly taking it and burning it while he was away.
Don't ask him why he thinks that way; just go with your gut feeling.
He didn't think Qiao Nansheng was incapable of doing such a thing now.
…
Seeing that both notebooks were still there, Zhou Cheng opened them again and looked at them. The dates and photos on them were still the same as he remembered, and they had not been changed. He breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the lids, locked them, and put them back.
If she wasn't there to "steal" the marriage certificate, then what was she doing here?
Zhou Cheng frowned, pondering for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why.
Apart from the chair he was sitting in that had been moved and the extra script, nothing else in the study seemed to have been touched.
Even if you just pick it up and put it back exactly as it was before, there will be slight signs of it being moved, but there is absolutely no trace of it being moved.
Unable to figure it out, Zhou Cheng didn't delve into it further and continued reading the script.
…
The next morning at eight o'clock, Qiao Nansheng was woken up by her alarm clock.
After a night of heavy drinking, Qiao Nansheng woke up with a terrible headache and her mind went blank, not quite realizing what day it was.
It wasn't until the alarm clock rang again, as if it were a death knell, that she slowly regained consciousness.
It was pitch black in front of her; she was still in bed, and every breath she took reeked of alcohol.
She realized she hadn't changed her clothes and was still wearing the same outfit from yesterday. She quickly threw off the covers, sat up, and looked down. Sure enough, there she was.
She was alone in the bedroom. Zhou Cheng wasn't there; she didn't know where he had gone. The pillow next to her was brand new, and the duvet cover was new and without a single wrinkle, indicating that she had slept alone in this bed last night.
Qiao Nansheng rubbed her temples, got out of bed, went to the dressing room to get a change of clothes, and then went into the bathroom.
She thought to herself: I can't drink alcohol like water like this again. Even though it's red wine and the alcohol content isn't high, drinking too much will still make me dizzy when the effects kick in. Once I'm dizzy, I can't remember anything.
However, judging from the fact that she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and that she didn't feel any soreness like in novels and TV shows, Zhou Cheng probably didn't do anything to her.
Qiao Nansheng took a comfortable shower, put on clean clothes, and did some skincare before going downstairs. She only saw Liu Xu lying on the sofa watching TV, but didn't see Zhou Cheng.
She walked over to the dining table and sat down, casually asking, "Where's your brother?"
Liu Xu was overjoyed to hear "your brother" and her smile blossomed like a flower. She said with a smile, "Brother Cheng hasn't gotten up yet? Doesn't Madam sleep with Brother Cheng? How could she not know where Brother Cheng is?"
Qiao Nansheng was silent for a moment: "I really don't know."
When she woke up in the morning, the other pillow was brand new, so she knew Zhou Cheng hadn't slept.
If they didn't go back to the bedroom, then they must have gone to the guest room.
He usually sleeps in the master bedroom, and she couldn't get him to go there no matter how hard she tried. But yesterday he actually went to sleep in the guest room on his own. Could it be that she was drunk and had a sudden burst of lust... and did something to him?
Qiao Nansheng was filled with doubts.
After finishing breakfast, she still hadn't seen Zhou Cheng come down. Seeing that it was getting late, she stood up, quickly tidied herself up, and went out.
Today, Sheng Zhuo took her to Huaying.
After getting off the car, Qiao Nansheng walked directly towards the entrance of Huaying Film Studio.
"Nan Sheng?" After walking only a few steps, a voice suddenly called out from behind. It was Tang Xuerou.
She ran up to Qiao Nansheng with a happy expression and took his arm, her smile wide: "I thought I was seeing things, so I called out to you to see if it was really you."
She's been at Huaying for a week now. Even though we're on the same floor, I haven't seen her since the day she arrived. This is the first time I've seen her since that accident.
She took Qiao Nansheng's arm very affectionately and spoke to her in a very intimate tone.
"Nan Sheng, was it Zhou..." Tang Xue Rou stopped mid-sentence, as if realizing something, and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she continued softly, "Was it Zhou Cheng who brought you here this morning?"
She had just gotten out of the car when she saw Qiao Nansheng get out of a black sedan. Before she could even pretend to turn her head and look at him casually, the car drove away.
"No." Qiao Nansheng turned her head and glanced at her indifferently. "It was a gift from Sheng Zhuo."
Tang Xuerou nodded and said, "Zhou Cheng must be busy, right?"
She paused for a moment, sighed, and said with a very envious tone, "A top movie star must be so busy all day long, taking on all sorts of endorsements, commercials, and movie scripts... When will we be able to do that?"
Qiao Nansheng glanced at her again and immediately saw what Tang Xuerou was thinking. She didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "You're thinking about acting before you've even debuted. Unless you have a powerful backer or someone to support you, it's very difficult to get roles in this industry."
For an unknown newcomer without an agent, company, or studio, it is very difficult to get acting roles or become famous in the industry.
The entertainment industry is vast, and there's no shortage of good-looking people. Those who frequently appear in front of the public are all actors with acting skills.
There are many celebrities like Han Ye who only participate in variety shows and not acting. A couple of years ago, there was a female celebrity named Yang Xingxi who was very popular, just like Han Ye is now. But she was only popular for a year or two. Now, very few people know her.
That's how the entertainment industry works. If you want to keep appearing in front of the public and be remembered, you have to have outstanding works to show for it.
Without any outstanding works, after a few days or even a few months, half a year, or a year, a newcomer will emerge and become popular, quickly taking away the audience's attention. A traffic star who doesn't have representative works to constantly refresh their image in front of the audience will eventually fade into obscurity.
Apart from their true fans, no one else knows that such a person exists.
However, Han Ye is an exception; he has the Han family backing him.
The Han family is large and wealthy, ranking among the top 50 companies globally.
Han Ye came to the entertainment industry just to have fun. When he's had enough, he'll still have to go home and inherit the family fortune. Since he wants to have fun, his family will throw money at him to let him have as much fun as he wants, as long as he's happy.
...
Tang Xuerou hadn't expected her to be so direct, and she was momentarily embarrassed, but she quickly regained her composure.
She smiled at Qiao Nansheng and said, "I know, I was just saying. If we want to be like Zhou Cheng, getting all sorts of good scripts and advertising endorsements, we'd have to put in hundreds of times more effort."
