Chapter 001
"What should I do if my best friend is a green tea?"
2024/08/15
First release.
[Zhou Qingyu is causing trouble again? ]
[She had interfered with the relationship between Ye Luoyi and Pei Ershao before, which was already very offensive. Now she actually slapped Ye Luoyi in public on the set? ]
[I feel sorry for Ye Luoyi! ]
[Yiyi was bullied by Zhou Qingyu because she was too well-behaved. If the paparazzi hadn't revealed this, fans wouldn't have known about it! ]
[I have to step on Zhou Bitch whenever I see her. Her acting is terrible, but she is always a paper man who brings trouble. It's so annoying! ]
[Can Zhou Bitch please get out of the entertainment industry? I feel upset when I see her! ]
…
The internet is full of negative reviews about Zhou Qingyu, and ten of the top fifty hot searches on Weibo are negative about her.
Yan Xi silently scrolled through Weibo, reading the comments that insulted her best friends.
Zhou Qingyu debuted two years ago, but with her bright and beautiful face, she is barely a second-tier star. There are both good and bad comments about her on the Internet, which is normal in the entertainment industry.
It’s just that after the news of “Zhou Qingyu’s crew slapped Ye Luoyi” came out, all the negative news in the past was dug up: Zhou Qingyu was a mistress and intervened in the relationship between Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai, the fans of the book were dissatisfied with Zhou Qingyu’s role, and Zhou Qingyu’s crew acted like a big shot…
Yan Xi knew that this was just the beginning.
Yan Xi had a dream.
In her dream, the world she lives in is a novel. Her best friend Zhou Qingyu is an arrogant and vicious female supporting character who is madly in love with the hero of the novel, Pei Yubai.
Pei Yubai is the illegitimate son of the Pei family. On the one hand, he uses Zhou Qingyu to seize the Pei family's shares, and on the other hand, he is involved with the heroine of the novel, Ye Luoyi. Zhou Qingyu is jealous and repeatedly bullies Ye Luoyi, but is slapped in the face by Ye Luoyi and becomes Ye Luoyi's counterpart.
Later, Zhou Qingyu's half brother died suddenly from overwork, and Zhou Group's stock price plummeted and was acquired by Pei Yubai. Zhou Qingyu also lost everything and was sent to the island by Pei Yubai to dig sweet potatoes.
This story has nothing to do with Yan Xi. Yan Xi is a passerby who doesn't even have a name in the novel, and is the best friend of the vicious female supporting character.
Yan Xi originally thought that this was just a dream.
But the gossip about "Zhou Qingyu slapping Ye Luoyi" that was exposed today is exactly the same as the plot in Yan Xi's dream.
Is there no way to change it?
[The male and female protagonists are the children of destiny, the darlings of the novel world, and the female supporting role has a miserable end, which is destined to happen~]
Hearing the mechanical sound, Yan Xi was stunned for two seconds, thinking she was hallucinating.
[Host, what I said is true~]
【Everything that appears in your dream is real~】
As a 21st century online surfing level 10 player, Yan Xi quickly realized what the sound was. Then, a glowing ball of light appeared in her head, and there was an emoji package on the light ball.
Yan Xi asked, "Are you the system? Are you here to help me change all this?"
Yan Xi has read many novels. In novels, characters awaken and are bound to various systems, such as strategy systems, counterattack systems... These systems can help the host change the plot and move towards a bright and beautiful future. These are all routines, and Yan Xi understands these routines very well.
A ball of light bounced in Yan Xi's mind: [Half right! I am indeed the system~]
[But I am just a passerby system, I can only chat with you, I don’t have any functions~]
Yan Xi:?
"Then what use do I have for you!"
【……】
【Can chat】
【I can surf the Internet with you and chat about gossip】
【Can be used as an MP3 player to play music】
Yan Xi: "Thank you!"
【You’re welcome~^^~】
Yan Xi silently put the system aside.
The Passerby System sounds like a useless thing.
The system said that it did not have the function of changing the plot, and the fate of the female supporting character could not be changed, but Yan Xi did not believe it. Since she had already seen the ending of her best friend, she could not let the ending happen.
In Yan Xi's opinion, the reason why Zhou Qingyu fell from a rich lady to digging sweet potatoes was because of Pei Yubai. As long as she stayed away from Pei Yubai, even if she was not a rich lady, she would not have to dig sweet potatoes.
Stay away from men and live a peaceful life.
"Xixi, summer vacation is about to start. How about having dinner together before the vacation?"
The voices of her roommates brought Yan Xi back to reality.
The computer screen in front of him was lit with gossip about Zhou Qingyu slapping Ye Luoyi. His roommates were checking their final exam results. The first year of graduate school was over, and everyone was excitedly planning to go to
Which dinner party.
"I'm fine with either. You decide!"
Several roommates are easy-going and after hearing what Yan Xi said, they opened the APP to choose a restaurant.
Yan Xi took out her cell phone and found Zhou Qingyu's phone number.
System: [Host, you don't want to tell Zhou Qingyu the plot of the novel, do you? ]
Yan Xi asked back: "Is it not possible?"
[Of course not! Any information related to the novel's plot will be harmonized~]
Yan Xi frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "I can't tell you the plot, but what if I can let Qingqing avoid the predetermined plot?"
The system smiled slyly: [You can try, but success is not guaranteed! ]
Yan Xi stroked her phone, recalling the contents of her dream in her mind——
Now the novel is halfway through. The next plot point is that Zhou Qingyu will participate in the variety show "Let's Travel Together". This show invited four celebrity guests, and each guest can invite another companion to travel together. The program team does not restrict the guests' travel consumption and methods.
The heroine of the novel, Ye Luoyi, also participated in the program. The travel plan she and her partner developed was economical and affordable, providing netizens with new travel ideas. Ye Luoyi also became popular for her "gentle as a chrysanthemum" and "down-to-earth" personality.
Zhou Qingyu also chose the "poor travel" route, but she had constant conflicts with her partner. In the end, she was ridiculed by the entire network for her arrogance and bullying of her partner.
If you want to change Zhou Qingyu's future, you must first stop her from participating in variety shows!
Yan Xi walked to the balcony of the dormitory and called Zhou Qingyu.
The call was quickly connected——
"Baby? I'm shooting a commercial. What's wrong?"
Zhou Qingyu's voice came from the other end of the phone, as well as the sound of the stagehands and staff shouting about the arrangements. It was obvious that they were filming the scene.
Yan Xi: "Qingqing, are you going abroad to record a variety show tomorrow?"
Zhou Qingyu was putting on makeup while distractedly answering Yan Xi's call, "Yes, Brother Yubai will be there too. I'll go find him after I finish filming the commercial. We'll go to the airport together tomorrow~"
Yan Xi was stunned. She remembered that Zhou Qingyu and Ye Luoyi appeared on the variety show together in the novel, so how did it become Pei Yubai?
System explanation: [Zhou Qingyu invested in this variety show because she wanted to travel with Pei Yubai, but Pei Yubai gave his spot to Ye Luoyi. Afterwards, Ye Luoyi shined on the variety show, but Zhou Qingyu was blacklisted by the entire Internet! ]
[I advise you not to tell Zhou Qingyu that Pei Yubai will not participate, because Ye Luoyi has not signed a contract with the program team yet, and it is useless for you to tell Zhou Qingyu! ]
Yan Xi also understood this. Pei Yubai was most likely hiding this from Zhou Qingyu. Zhou Qingyu would probably know the truth when they arrived at the airport tomorrow.
Yan Xi held the phone in her hand, her voice becoming pitiful, "Qingqing, please don't go. I'm heartbroken, please come and stay with me!"
"Are you heartbroken?" Zhou Qingyu's voice revealed a hint of surprise.
"That's right," Yan Xi's voice became more and more sad, "I just realized today that it's so painful to break up with someone..."
Zhou Qingyu was silent for a full minute before finally speaking, "Don't make trouble for Yan Xi. You've been single all your life and have never held a man's hand, yet you're heartbroken? And which paper man didn't you draw an SSR? Xie Zhixing? Shen Zui? Or Su Chen?"
Yan Xi: "Su Chen... No no no! I'm really heartbroken!"
The phone suddenly rang with a voice: [Alipay has arrived, 100,000 yuan. ]
"Baby, I transferred some money to you, you can draw any card you want! What kind of man can't you draw? I won't say anymore, I still have to go find Brother Yubai after filming the commercial, come to me again if you can't draw!"
After saying that, Zhou Qingyu hung up the phone.
Yan Xi: “……?”
The system gloats over the misfortune: [I told you that you are just an ordinary person, and the established plot cannot be changed! ]
[Zhou Qingyu is now controlled by the plot and is very obsessed with love! How could she miss the opportunity to travel with Pei Yubai! ]
Yan Xi was helpless, "Do you know where Qingqing is shooting the commercial?"
【Of course!】
[Although I can't change the plot, I still know what happens in the novel world! ]
[Zhou Qingyu is now near the Hongrui Shopping Mall. It is estimated that the commercial will be finished in half an hour! ]
Yan Xi's eyes rolled and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
She glanced at the 100,000 yuan in her Alipay account, then turned to look at her roommates who were talking about what to eat at the dinner party.
"Sisters, how about we go to Hongrui Shopping Mall for dinner? It's my treat!"
The atmosphere at the shooting site was tense and busy.
After seven NGs, Zhou Qingyu finally finished the shoot and sat down tiredly on the director's chair to rest. The assistant came over carefully carrying a large pot of health tea.
"Sister Qingyu, the director said he would go through the footage to see if there are any shots that need to be reshot. If not, today's filming is over."
Zhou Qingyu uttered "hmm" weakly.
She picked up the health tea and took a sip, then threw the cup aside in disgust, looking unhappy: "What is this? It tastes terrible!"
The assistant explained: "Sister Qingyu, this is the health tea specially prepared for you by the new nutritionist. It is said to have the effects of whitening the skin, slimming and cleaning the intestines..."
Zhou Qingyu sneered, "If drinking water can have such a magical effect, then what is the point of medical beauty? What's more, the brew is so unpalatable, quickly fire this person!"
"yes……"
The assistant took away the health tea and replaced it with a bottle of mineral water for Zhou Qingyu.
At this time, the assistant director came over and told Zhou Qingyu that there was no problem with the shot and that the shoot was over for the day.
Zhou Qingyu ordered the makeup artist, "I'm going to meet Brother Yubai later. Give me a nice makeup look."
"yes."
While Zhou Qingyu was removing her makeup, the assistant came up to her and said, "Sister Qingyu, the rumors online are a bit exaggerated. Although we clarified that the slapping was part of the script, netizens don't believe it. Moreover, those fans even dug up the fact that you interfered in the relationship between Ye Luoyi and Pei Ershao..."
Zhou Qingyu interrupted the assistant impatiently, "Ye Luoyi and Brother Yubai have no feelings for each other! She is the one who sticks to Brother Yubai!"
"Yes, yes, yes... We all know that you and the Second Young Master are engaged. Ye Luoyi is just an artist in the Second Young Master Pei's company," the assistant hurriedly comforted Zhou Qingyu, "But Ye Luoyi and the Second Young Master Pei have a lot of CP fans, and you didn't announce your engagement with the Second Young Master Pei, so the fans thought you were a mistress and deliberately slapped Ye Luoyi on the set to vent their anger! Otherwise, you can clarify your relationship with the Second Young Master Pei, so that the rumors will be self-defeating!"
Zhou Qingyu frowned. Why didn't she want to expose her relationship with Pei Yubai? But Pei Yubai said that Ye Luoyi was an artist in his company, and he and Ye Luoyi were just marketing. Only by making Ye Luoyi famous and making achievements in her career could he gain a firm foothold in the Pei family.
The exposure of their engagement at this time was not good for Pei Yubai's career.
Zhou Qingyu didn't want to influence Pei Yubai, and Pei Yubai was competing with his brother, and she was also competing with her brother. She understood how difficult it was for Pei Yubai.
Zhou Qingyu waved her hands, "That's it."
The assistant was very disappointed. Although her boss was arrogant, Pei Yubai's behavior was obviously more disgusting, right? Besides, Zhou Qingyu's failed roles were all roles that were not suitable for her in order to get close to Pei Yubai? Her boss's acting skills were average, and she always played roles that were not suitable for her. It would be strange if she could act well!
In the final analysis, the assistant just didn't understand. As a rich girl, was her boss really necessary to revolve around Pei Yubai like this?
The assistant suggested cautiously, "Sister Qingyu, doesn't Zhou Group own shares in Weibo? Just ask your brother to help remove the negative information, and the fans will forget about it in a few days..."
Zhou Qingyu suddenly turned to look at the assistant with a stern look in her eyes, "When do I need his help?"
Brothers and sisters in ordinary families are brothers and sisters, but brothers and sisters in wealthy families are never brothers and sisters, they are enemies.
The assistant was so frightened that he dared not say another word.
After removing the makeup, the makeup artist gave Zhou Qingyu a gorgeous look.
Zhou Qingyu's facial features were bright and generous, and with this kind of makeup, she looked very aggressive. Zhou Qingyu liked it quite a bit, but when she thought that an aggressive look might displease Pei Yubai, her pretty eyebrows furrowed again.
"Sister Qingyu, the car is already downstairs."
Zhou Qingyu responded, "You guys go back, I'm going to the next store to buy something."
There is a three-Michelin-star restaurant on the sixth floor of Hongrui Shopping Mall. Pei Yubai particularly likes the coconut milk cake sold there, and Zhou Qingyu wants to buy two pieces for him to take back.
Wearing sunglasses and a mask, Zhou Qingyu walked into the restaurant in a low-key manner.
This kind of thing could have been done by the assistant, but since it involved Pei Yubai, Zhou Qingyu wanted to do it herself.
When we walked into the restaurant, there were not many customers. This is a high-end restaurant with an average consumption of over two thousand yuan per person. The customers are all wealthy people in Haicheng, and there are few paparazzi lurking here.
The waiter went to pack the coconut milk cake, and Zhou Qingyu found an empty seat and sat down to wait.
She turned on her phone and wanted to ask Yan Xi if she had drawn the SSR she liked. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
Yan Xi?
Is she here to eat too?
The next second, Zhou Qingyu saw the girl opposite Yan Xi suddenly stand up, pick up a glass of water and splash it towards Yan Xi!
"Bitch! Who told you to steal my boyfriend?"
