Ying Jing returned to her room, full and satisfied.
Her good friend Weiyi had been waiting for quite some time.
"Alright, where did you go off to?"
Ying Jing collapsed backward, lying flat on the bed. "It's tough! I don't know where to start." Even now, she could recall saying goodbye to Wen Fucheng as she left, and how he had properly seen her off at the door.
He politely offered to send her back.
Ying Jing declined with the excuse that he should rest early.
She regretted it the moment she said it.
It's just a few steps, what harm would there have been in letting him come along?
Men shouldn't be spoiled.
Even though he's not her man yet.
"You aren't really planning to pursue Wen Fucheng, are you? I've heard he's quite a difficult person. Do you know what they say in the socialite circle?"
"What do they say?"
"Chasing Ying Zenan is hoping, chasing Wen Fucheng is a dim hope."
Ying Jing turned over, lying on her stomach, propping her chin with her hands, looking eagerly at her friend.
"I didn't expect it, even my brother is in such demand."
Weiyi rolled her eyes at her. "Do you have some misunderstanding about your brother?" Ying Zenan really wasn't bad; on the contrary, compared to Wen Fucheng, Ying Zenan was obviously more likable to girls.
Nonsense.
Ying Jing thought that Wen Fucheng was the best in the world, so much so that even her brother had to step aside in rank.
Weiyi mocked her, saying this was a case of seeing a beauty through the eyes of a lover.
Having eaten too much at night, Ying Jing didn't sleep well the entire night and sat at the table the next morning with dark circles, eating the breakfast her friend had specially bought.
Before leaving, Ying Jing glanced aside.
Weiyi adjusted her hat, kindly reminding her, "No need to look; Xie Weisi left early, with your beloved Mr. Wen." She had bumped into him on her way to buy breakfast.
Ying Jing blushed for once, just loving the blunt honesty from her sister.
"Oh!"
Just an 'Oh'? Not like this young lady's style.
"Have you finally figured it out after a night of deep thinking?"
"Mmm." Ying Jing nodded, taking out her phone to start looking up the rules for signing up for Dynasty Entertainment's 'Supernova Show'. "I've figured it out, I'll infiltrate the enemy from the inside first."
In Hu City, she had already told Xu Yi this, and it wasn't a joke back then.
She just hadn't decided yet.
"Are you really going into the entertainment industry, planning to become a celebrity? Since you want to be close to him, wouldn't working at Dynasty Entertainment be a more straightforward route?"
Ying Jing had considered this too. It's not that she didn't want to, it's just that she really couldn't.
She wasn't suited for the workplace.
In her past life, Ying Zenan had thrown her into a branch to train her. Within half a year, the company collapsed.
That's the fate of a vicious supporting role!
"I've thought it through. When I officially sign with Dynasty Entertainment, I'll earn lots and lots of money for him."
Weiyi was worried sick about Ying Jing's love-struck behavior.
"Aren't you afraid you'll end up with nothing?"
"Afraid!" Ying Jing put down her phone and took a deep breath. Thinking of something, she slowly spoke, "More than ending up with nothing, I'm more afraid of missing him again."
She had experienced days of having nothing.
The Ying Family went bankrupt.
Her brother fell from grace, landing in prison.
She went through the low points of life.
Yet her days were never hard, as he quietly protected her.
She still had beautiful clothes to wear, roles to play, and more money than she could spend.
She died in her most brilliant age.
With the pride and dignity belonging to Ying Jing.
But she lost Wen Fucheng and only dared to admit her feelings for him at the end.
This life, at most she'll work a bit harder, chase him a bit.
Even if the process is tough, it doesn't matter, compared to him, she's really much luckier.
Thinking of this, Ying Jing was pumped up with adrenaline.
Dragging her friend, she headed straight to Dynasty Entertainment to sign up.
During this, several paparazzi claiming to be reporters stopped her for interviews, but Ying Jing was so used to handling such situations that she shook them off before entering the lobby.
"This is my first time at Dynasty Entertainment? It's so grand."
But what Ying Jing really thought was that this wasn't their first time here. Weiyi, as her former agent, had been to countless entertainment companies. However, in her past life, she didn't sign with Dynasty Entertainment but with another entertainment company.
Recalling the billions paid for breach of contract due to that pit in her last life, Ying Jing's eyes changed.
She hopes to stay far from the protagonists of the original story in this life. Bridges are bridges, roads are roads.
She's really exhausted from fighting.
After filling out the application form and leaving her contact information, achieving their main purpose for coming here, Ying Jing and Weiyi prepared to leave.
She didn't expect to meet Wen Fucheng at this time here.
Although Wen Fucheng wasn't there, she unexpectedly met Xie Weisi.
Buying coffee downstairs, Xie Weisi thought the people at the front desk looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed them.
He offered an invitation. "Want to come up for a bit?"
Faced with the proactive invitation from Xie, which was a rare chance to get closer to Wen Fucheng at work, Ying Jing refused.
Even Weiyi didn't understand why she refused.
Isn't this a good opportunity!
Ying Jing replied.
"If love can last for long, who says it must be morning and evening?"
Poor Xie Weisi, this Chinese idiot, didn't know what it meant, so he did something clever.
He made a stop by Wen Fucheng's office before returning to his own.
"Wen Fucheng, you're so impressive, translate this sentence for me, what does it mean."
"No time." The man, still looking at documents, refused without thinking.
Oh! No time, huh!
"What a pity then, I'll just have to ask Miss Ying myself next time I see her!" Hmph! Don't believe you won't fall for this.
Sure enough, before one leg stepped out of the office, he was called from behind.
"What did she say, you saw her?"
"Didn't you say you were busy?"
Even though his thoughts were seen through by others, he remained calm.
"She's way more important than you."
Xie Weisi: ...
Do you believe I might turn into a stumbling block on your path to chasing your wife?
Eventually, Xie succumbed to the lure of money and relayed Ying Jing's words to Wen Fucheng unchanged.
Even after everyone left, he still savored those words.
The beautiful poetry danced on the white paper.
The man read it over and over.
Finally, after folding the paper neatly, he laughed gently.
That night, Ying Jing returned to Hu City; if it weren't for Ying's mother calling about Ying Zenan's upcoming birthday, she might have continued having fun.
See! Even her own brother's birthday could be forgotten.
And for that, she was ridiculed by Weiyi all the way, choosing love over her brother.
Ying Zenan's birthday was always a grand affair, first simply acknowledged at home, then moving the celebration to gather friends.
In previous years, Ying Jing was interested in attending, but this year she planned to accompany him at home and not go out.
But in the end, she couldn't resist Ying Zenan and was dragged out.
It wasn't until she sat in the brightly lit private room, meeting someone, other than Lu Zishu, she least wanted to see in this life.
The female protagonist of the original story, Xiao Qinghe.
