Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 63 Her Career
After a moment of surprise, Liu Shishi reacted, squinting at Lin Wenwen with a complex mix of emotions—anger and disappointment.

I never imagined that my best friend, with whom I've lived for over two years, would do such a thing, spreading rumors and slandering me with baseless accusations, and trying to ruin my relationship with Song Ci.

Lin Wenwen glared at Liu Shishi, not to be outdone, and said in a affected, trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Shishi, I didn't mean it."

Apart from Yang Yi, the others had no idea what was going on and were completely baffled, so they could only watch quietly.

Song Ci immediately understood Lin Wenwen's intention; she must have misunderstood and wanted to sow discord between her and Shi Ye.

Song Ci was naturally disgusted by such behavior and was about to rebuke her, but then he thought it would be better to leave it to Miss Liu to handle herself.

Suppressing his anger, he asked in a pretentious manner, "Shishi, what Audi?"

Liu Shishi, also in the act, pitifully pleaded, "Darling, you go back first, I'll contact you tonight and explain."

Song Ci replied coldly with a straight face, "Fine, I'll wait for your call. Let's go."

After watching Song Ci and the other three leave in a taxi, Liu Shishi snorted at Lin Wenwen, "You're really something!"

Liu Shishi hadn't expected that Lin Wenwen's purpose in organizing the get-together today was to sabotage her relationship with Song Ci, which had crossed her bottom line.

Knowing the whole story, Yang Yi sighed and said, "Wenwen, why bother? If you do this, Song Ci won't be grateful to you; instead, she'll hate you."

Lin Wenwen smiled smugly. Jealousy made her lose her mind. She thought she had achieved her goal and all the resentment in her heart was swept away.

He deliberately mocked, "Liu Shishi, I didn't mean it, I did it on purpose. Let's see if your good brother still wants this fickle and wicked woman like you?"

Liu Shishi shook her head, about to slap her, but ultimately held back. She marveled at her little brother's charm, which had actually made Lin Wenwen somewhat infatuated.

I knew it was wrong of me to go back on my word in the past, but what she did today went too far. Two years of roommate relationship were over in an instant. "Wenwen, you're so naive, you don't understand anything!"

The atmosphere in dormitory 310 was somewhat eerie and somber. After the journey back to school, Lin Hao and the others came to their senses, roughly sorted out the situation, and understood the ins and outs.

Lin Hao stared at Song Ci, who remained expressionless and unapproachable throughout the journey, and felt extremely anxious. He never expected that someone as handsome and outstanding as the fourth brother would have to go through this ordeal.

After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke up to comfort her: "Fourth brother, try to look on the bright side. I never expected that Senior Sister would... sigh."

Song Ci looked at Lin Hao in surprise, speechless at his words. The fat guy usually seemed quite clever, but it turned out he was a complete idiot.

Not only did he fail to grasp the key point, but he also chose to believe the seemingly effeminate Lin Wenwen. Did he think that Shi Ye would betray him?

Fearing that Lin Pangzi might misunderstand and spread rumors outside, Song Ci could only helplessly explain, "It's nothing, I just remembered, the Audi belongs to Shishi's relative, it's not what you think."

Lin Hao, believing he knew the truth, gently patted Song Ci's shoulder and sincerely advised, "Fourth brother, I understand. You don't need to force a smile. Don't bottle things up. If you really can't take it, just cry it out and vent." Song Ci shook her head, a nameless anger rising within her. Not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer, she bluntly advised, "Use your brain. Think about Lin Wenwen's purpose in encouraging you to go on this blind date today. And don't gossip. No one knows Shishi better than me."

Lin Hao was stunned by Song Ci's shout. After a long while, he belatedly realized what was happening and muttered to himself in disbelief, "Wenwen, she actually tried to sow discord between Fourth Brother and Senior Sister!"

Lu Yugang sighed from the side, "Haozi, Lin Wenwen is no pushover. You'd better watch out."

An outsider's perspective is often clear. He didn't know much about Liu Shishi's affairs, but he clearly saw Lin Wenwen's behavior. It seemed unintentional, but in reality, she was sowing discord and had ulterior motives.

In the end, it was just a ridiculous farce. Song Ci was just putting on an act with Shi Ye on a whim and didn't really take it to heart. By making things clear, he meant that the matter was over and done with. As for Lin Wenwen, Shi Ye would handle it.

In his view, this incident should serve as a lesson for Ms. Liu, making her more cautious about people and things, so that she won't be betrayed in the treacherous entertainment industry in the future.

A week passed quickly, and Song Ci returned to her routine of going back to work, home, and school. In the evenings, she would talk on the phone and send text messages to Liu Shishi. Her life was simple and warm, and she felt fulfilled every day.

In mid-October, on a sunny Saturday, Song Ci returned from exercising. Her roommates had already gone to the library to study. Bathed in the warm sunlight, Song Ci turned on her computer as usual to handle work emails.

He logged into his email and a peculiar email caught his attention: Liu Shishi had sent him an email.

Last night, when he tried to contact Liu Shishi, she had already gone to bed early. He was worried that she might be unwell, but he didn't expect her to send him an email.

Filled with curiosity and anticipation, Song Ci opened the email and began to read it carefully.

Yi Yi, please forgive my abrupt departure. By the time you read this email, I will probably already be on a plane bound for the East China Sea.

I thought about this for a long time last night, but I didn't call you to tell you about it because I didn't want to say goodbye to you in person. I was afraid I would burst into tears, so I wrote this email instead.

The film "Moonlight and Lotus Breeze" is about to start filming. Because I have no acting experience, the director informed me that I need to go to the Donghai Chedun Film and Television Base a few days in advance to do some basic training.

You don't need to worry about me. The director and my family are old friends, and he takes good care of me. My mother also went to Donghai with me and will stay with me on set.

We grew up together and have celebrated each other's birthdays 12 times since we were six. The filming of "Moonlight and Lotus" will probably take 3 or 4 months. I want to apologize in advance. I regret that I may have to miss your most important eighteenth birthday.

I've been keeping up with things in the entertainment industry lately. If I join a film crew in the future, it's common for a single project to take several months to film. We may not see each other for long periods in the future, and regrets and separations will become the norm.

Sometimes I get really scared, afraid that when I'm filming and not around, you'll be snatched away by a beautiful, scheming, and wicked woman like Lin Wenwen. I've even thought about quitting acting and staying with you forever.

Oh, by the way, I've broken off all contact with Lin Wenwen. Last time she tried to sow discord between us, and instead of repenting, she even spread rumors that I was being kept by someone and ruined my reputation at school. She was absolutely despicable.

However, I must eventually grow and improve, and I need to have my own career to be worthy of you. So from now on, I will officially start my acting career.
