Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

"Damn Shen Ze, you stinky Shen Ze, what time is it? Why haven't you called yet? Has he forgotten what day it is? That can't be right. It's one thing if he doesn't come, but he can't even hurry up with the video call." Dilireba refreshed her phone, showing her chat with Shen Ze.

Just as she was about to speak, the phone rang. It was Shen Ze. She cleared her throat, intending to question him: "You usually video call me at 8:30 every day, unless it's for rehearsal. You didn't tell me beforehand today. I want to see what's wrong with you. Do you not value this anymore?"

"Feed," Dilraba said.

"Your school's security guard won't let me in. Come out now. Your school is making a lot of trouble," Shen Ze's voice came.

"Ah, you've come to Shanghai. Wait here, I'll be right out." Dilraba didn't even bother to question him anymore and happily got dressed and went out.

"Why did you come? Didn't I tell you, it's too rushed to come and go, it's unnecessary." It was a Western restaurant outside the school, clearly catering to students, mostly young people. Shen Ze and Dilireba sat facing each other at a table by the window, with a small cake on the table.

"I've only known you for one day. If I hadn't come, you would have found fault with me during the video call today. I don't want to make things difficult for myself," Shen Ze said.

"What are you saying? I'm not that kind of person." Dilraba held Shen Ze's hand, her face full of sincerity.

"I don't believe you. I don't want you to hold a grudge against me later. That 520-day anniversary you celebrated last time really gave me a hard time," Shen Ze said.

When it comes to dating, a girlfriend is sweet and lovely, but if you want to keep the relationship, some ups and downs are inevitable. It's understandable to celebrate your one-year anniversary, but there's no need to celebrate your one-year anniversary of knowing each other. And then there are all sorts of other things. Of course, she's not the kind of gold digger who uses the occasion to ask you for gifts; it's just a simple commemoration. Women are too perceptive; he can't compare.

"So, you're blaming me?" Dilraba's eyes turned dangerous.

"Baby, are you kidding me? It was my birthday last month, and even though you were filming, you pretended to be sick to celebrate with me. How could I not come to your birthday celebration?" Shen Ze's birthday is May 20th, and Dilireba's is June 3rd. They were born in the same year, only about ten days apart.

Oh, right, there's another coincidence, but Shen Ze won't say it out loud, it would only cause trouble. Gulinaza's birthday is May 2nd, which makes sense, since everyone is basically the same age and there are twelve months in a year, so coincidences are normal.

"At least you have a conscience. You didn't say anything to me for so long. I thought you didn't care about my birthday. I was not happy about that," Dilraba said.

"How could that be? Oh, right, here's a gift for you." Shen Ze handed over two boxes. It was quite a splurge, but thankfully the cafeteria wasn't too expensive, so she could still afford to eat. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult. The big box contained Estée Lauder serum and something else. She put it in her shopping cart, planning to buy it during the 618 shopping festival. Shen Ze bought it for her directly.

It has to be said that this woman spends a lot on makeup; the skincare and moisturizing masks alone cost over three thousand yuan.

"Why did you buy it in advance? It would have been cheaper during the 6.18 sale. I'm not without my needs now. You were peeking at my shopping cart again. But baby, I really like it."

"I don't need to guess. Following your old-fashioned way of thinking, this is definitely gold. Am I right?" Dilraba said.

"Yes, that's right." The reason I said "auntie" is because something happened in April this year, and the price of gold dropped by nearly 10%. Chinese aunties are famous for their shopping sprees, and Dilraba knows that her boyfriend thinks gold is the best gift to give.

This is also an experience Shen Ze brought from his previous life. It's hard to say about buying other things, but gold was quite popular before he came back. Now, seeing gold for less than 300 yuan per gram is like finding a bargain.

It's just that he had limited funds, otherwise he would have bought a 10-gram pendant at a bargain price. After all, a birthday is a very important holiday, so it's okay to spend a little more. On his birthday, Dilraba also gave him a very expensive pair of headphones, even though he felt it was unnecessary. But a gift is a gift.

"Why do you like gold? That's something my mother's generation liked," Dilraba said.

"You'll awaken automatically when you reach a certain age. It's about time. Why don't we go and rest?" Shen Ze said.

"No, you're being so direct. Now I'm really starting to doubt your purpose for coming." Even though they had already lived together, Dilraba was clearly embarrassed when she heard about the break.

"Looks like you haven't forgotten what you said on my birthday." Shen Ze smiled ambiguously.

"Nonsense, what did I say? And I said the next birthday is your birthday," Dilraba said. Her boyfriend was great in every way, except that he was particularly fond of researching these kinds of things and kept encouraging her to post more updates. When they lived together, they did develop many different behavioral patterns, but he went too far. However, on his birthday, she still reluctantly cooperated a little due to her emotional fluctuations.

Although I felt like throwing up at that moment, I still forced myself to do it once and even made some promises.

"Suddenly, my heart aches. It's so hot. You actually treat your birthday as your own, and you've always treated it with more care than your own birthday. You're so particular about it," Shen Ze said.

"Get out of my way. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're disgusting. I despise you," Dilraba said, somewhat afraid to look at him.

Shen Ze was pleasantly surprised by the scene. He had only intended to give it a try, but judging from his girlfriend's attitude, it seemed like it wasn't impossible.

After dinner, they went to the hotel. Although Dilraba felt embarrassed, she still cooperated because it was her birthday. She punched Shen Ze several times, but Shen Ze felt it was worth it. The feeling of looking down at him from above, and the feeling of conquering Dilraba when she looked up at him, was great.

……

After his birthday, Shen Ze returned to school, and a few days later, he was on vacation. Dilraba came to Beijing again. Her movie "Micro Era" had finished filming. Her company was in Beijing, and since there was nothing to do at school, it was better to be close to the company. Besides, her boyfriend was still here.

I originally thought I would have to wait a while before I could get a role, but having connections makes all the difference. I've already secured an important supporting role in the TV series "Gu Jian Qi Tan," which is adapted from the game and is currently being produced by Yang Mi.

This show seems to be quite popular. It produced a character called "Master Hong" and also "King of the Gourd" Li Yifeng. He probably became a top star because of this show.

When Shen Ze learned about this drama, he submitted his resume, but to be honest, he didn't even get a chance to audition. He was quite distressed. When would he be able to activate the system? The system was indeed powerful, but he had to be the lead actor to activate his destiny. What was this nonsense? He should just find a way to get into the entertainment industry.
