Chapter 60

Shen Kai was sulking here, and his phone vibrated. He groped for the phone on the table and glanced at it before bouncing up from the sofa.

It was Qin Wei replying to him!

The corners of Shen Kai's mouth rose, and then he tried his best to restrain himself:

"A fickle woman who says one thing but means another, she still can't help but reply to the message!"

[Xinghe: got it]

Shen Kai: "???"

Got what?

Got it? Offended? Got to know? Got sick? Got...

What other words can be combined???

She sent him a "got it", what exactly does she mean?

Should he ask her about it now?

With his phone in his hand, Shen Kai didn't know what to do for a moment.

He rubbed his temples and threw his phone aside. He was really giving her face, not only ignoring him, but also being mysteriously mysterious?

Did she really think he was interested in her? He was not, okay! It was just out of curiosity, nothing more.

"Never mind."

Shen Kai made up his mind not to ask her anymore, to turn the page on this matter!

...

Because of the injury on her head, Qin Wei was able to enjoy a leisurely life at home, which gave her plenty of time to recuperate while planning her retirement life at the same time.

Her phone vibrated. Qin Wei picked up her phone. The compensation promised by the show crew had arrived in her account. This money not only covered medical expenses, but also counted nutrition fees, transportation fees, lost wages and mental damages, and the amount exceeded Qin Wei's expectations...

Li Yao called at the same time:

"Baby girl, did you get the money?"

"I got it. I thought it would be a five-digit number, six digits at most. You didn't scam them, did you? My head only cracked a little, how could they give seven digits?"

Who doesn't love getting more money? But she felt uneasy about spending money she got this way. Li Yao laughed:

"Well, it depends whose head cracked. Don't feel bad about it. Usually this amount of money wouldn't even cover your losses! As for the show remuneration, it will probably be transferred to your account next month. Before that, you still have to shoot posters for publicity."

As soon as she heard about the transfer, Qin Wei cheered up completely, but she had to shoot posters again?

"You didn't get me new jobs again, did you?"

"I didn't."

There was a hint of joy in Li Yao's voice on the phone.

"The click-through rate of 'Sunny Stars' ranks first among similar shows, and tops the monthly topic chart on the platform. The video platform held a voting event, and you came in first, baby girl."

When did they hold a voting event?

She saw more netizens scolding her online, so she guessed it wasn't a good ranking.

"I don't want to go."

"No, don't! Why don't you ask me what voting, what event?"

Qin Wei's face was full of impatience:

"Just tell me if you want to say it. Otherwise, let's hang up. Why are you keeping me in suspense? I have a head injury. I can't take too much excitement."

Li Yao compromised:

"The broadcast platform held a 'Most Popular Star' chart. It had a very good response, with hundreds of thousands of people participating in the vote. You came first. Guess who's second?"

Beep beep beep——

As expected, Qin Wei immediately hung up. Li Yao helplessly called back:

"Li Hanming was second, Gu Minghua third. You three were the top three!"

"Oh."

Qin Wei's tone was cold, so cold that she even started cracking melon seeds.

As she cracked melon seeds, Qin Wei said to Li Yao on the phone:

"So does the first place come with a cash prize?"

"No cash prize. The first place has to shoot posters and do interviews... Hey?"

Beep beep beep ——

Although reluctant in a hundred ways, when Li Yao came, Qin Wei still had to follow him to the photography studio.

From today, the gauze on her head was finally removed, leaving only the wound covered with a dressing. The stylist selected a short-brimmed octagonal fedora for her, which perfectly obscured the injured area.

The stylist also applied light makeup for her, and picked a pair of gold wire-rimmed glasses as an accessory. She changed into a retro Dior suit, very much an academic style.

Li Yao was very satisfied with her styling. After thanking the stylist, he took her to the shooting scene, where Li Hanming had already started shooting.

"Ms. Qin, please wait a moment." The staff moved chairs for her to sit down.

Sitting down, Qin Wei watched Li Hanming under the spotlight, wearing khaki pants, a white shirt with a blue tie, and a loose V-neck sweater over it. He looked like a simple, clean boy.

After finishing his shoot, Li Hanming noticed her arrival. He was more casual than before when smiling at her, waving at her and then walking over to talk to her:

"Sister Wei, is your injury a little better?"

Qin Wei pointed to her fedora hat:

"Much better. Thank you again for the Gaofeng dog you sent me. It really healed my injured heart."

Li Hanming smiled a little shyly as he scratched his head:

"And thank you as well, Sister Wei, for the surprise. I was really surprised."

Li Yao didn't understand what they were talking about. Seeing them share a knowing smile, he figured their relationship really wasn't bad.

Li Yao felt somewhat gratified about this. He felt Qin Wei was like his own child. She used to be hot-tempered, arrogant and self-centered, so she didn't even have a single friend. But with the recent mishaps, and her accident, her temper has improved a lot too. She finally had friends she could chat and laugh with.

It was also good that they could work together in the future. Li Yao was very satisfied.

The photographer called them over to take a group photo. After the afternoon shoot ended, they got into their respective cars again, heading for Triangle Film and Television Company, which had acquired the copyright of "Sunny Stars".

Li Yao drove her there, telling her on the way:

"Later at the interview, don't say anything you shouldn't. They originally wanted to do it live, but I was afraid you would make some trouble, so I suggested they record it instead."

Qin Wei objected:

"I'm not afraid of live either! What trouble could I cause? Don't make random accusations, Li Yao!"

Li Yao glanced at the rearview mirror and rolled his eyes at her:

"The main character goes offline to tear down fans. Anyone with a bit of status wouldn't do that. Oh, and don't mention retiring. The platform plans to edit the full version into member exclusives after this. You'll lose pay if you say the wrong thing."

When it came to money, Qin Wei nodded cautiously:

"I still have basic professional ethics. Even if I retire, I'll do it gracefully. Don't worry!"

"Show your best side. I heard that recently, some senior executives from luxury brands have shown interest in collaborating with you. To maximize benefits, they plan to sign you while you're still hot or not. You have to seize the opportunity to rise again. At least one top luxury watch brand could be yours."

"Let's talk about it later."

Qin Wei didn't have much interest in this. Li Yao said to her:

"A few months ago, I was as desperate as you, feeling like there was no chance of turning things around for you. I just wanted to struggle to give you and me an explanation, and then go our separate ways. But Qin Wei, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You are much more capable than I imagined. If you keep going like this, the future may still have something in store."

Seeing that Qin Wei still didn't react much, Li Yao decided to give her a heads up about the opportunity that was still unformed:

"There's talk in the circle that a certain well-known satellite TV station and a certain video platform plan to launch a big project. If you get selected, then your popularity will really soar again!"

Before she could respond, her phone buzzed. Qin Wei looked down to see someone sending her a WeChat message.

The screen showed the WeChat name -
