Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Chapter 82 How Dare You Do That? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Why have you been getting up so early these past few days? Are you feeling guilty?" Dilraba woke up to find breakfast already prepared.

"Is that all you think of me?" Shen Ze said.

"Well, what do I think? You're going back to school soon, baby. You have a girlfriend now. I've mentioned this to you before. I hope you know what boundaries are," Dilraba said.

Graduation ceremony is coming soon, and we'll definitely need to take a group photo back home, something Dilraba knows.

"Dilraba, we're completely innocent, it's okay," Shen Ze said. He had already written the breakup letter, but he couldn't just hand it over and run away. At the very least, he wanted to give Dilraba a proper birthday celebration and have a perfect ending.

"What you think is nothing has actually crossed the line. You're using the guise of friendship to secretly enjoy the thrill of being accompanied by someone of the opposite sex. Fine, I believe you. I just hope you won't disappoint me again. Also, I'll go back with you this time," Dilraba said.

She was too wary of Gulnazar. Knowing that she was going back to school, she stopped pretending and said what she wanted to say in advance.

"You're not filming anymore? Filming's almost finished," Shen Ze said.

"I'll be sick that day, and if I don't go to your school, I'll have a fever for ten days. I've already used up this leave in advance. If you want to do anything, do it before I go," Dilraba said.

In early June, perhaps it was a coincidence, the 3rd was Dilraba's birthday, and the 4th was the day Shen Ze returned to school.

Shen Ze was very serious about this birthday, but Dilireba herself didn't seem to care. She was busy with work and didn't know that Shen Ze had already made some decisions.

At the Beijing Film Academy, I met my classmates whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Shen Ze, I just happened to need to talk to you." When she arrived at the school, Gulnazar found him. Luckily, Dilireba wasn't there, otherwise she definitely would have done something. She was too direct.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ze asked, looking at Gulinaza.

"I heard from the company that 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer' is about to enter the promotional period. How do I contact your company? There's been no follow-up. The promotional photos haven't been taken yet. Are you that busy? What's going on?" Gulinaza asked.

This matter originally had nothing to do with her, but since Shen Ze was introduced by her, Tangren Media noticed something and asked her about it.

"Nothing much happened, but it's pretty frustrating," Shen Ze said.

"You want to terminate the contract?" Gulnazar suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, how did you know?" Shen Ze asked, somewhat surprised.

"Is that even a question? They've stopped coordinating with normal publicity work. You're just holed up in Hengdian every day, not even filming. Have you been blacklisted?" Gulinaza said.

"You know I'm in Hengdian, but you don't contact me," Shen Ze said.

"Nonsense, you have a jealous girlfriend. I'm afraid if I get close to you, she might kill me one day. How wronged I would be!" Gulinaza said.

She had been in Hengdian the whole time, but she hadn't had a meal with Shen Ze. She was just thinking about these things. They could have actually been friends.

"Your company is quite clever; they haven't contacted me at all," Shen Ze said.

"If it's a business-to-business arrangement, it's definitely through the management company. What kind of business would contact you directly? It's not smart. These kinds of things happen all the time. Normally, no management company would ignore an artist's schedule."

"This is a difficult matter. Your company isn't involved, and Tangren (the entertainment company) probably won't include you in their promotions. You have a contract, and they're afraid of causing trouble," Gulinaza said.

"Understood," Shen Ze said.

"What stage are we at? Is it convenient to tell us?" Gulnazar asked.

"We're going to talk about penalties for breach of contract," Shen Ze said, there was nothing he couldn't say.

"I regret asking, but I can't just sit idly by now that I know. If you need money, I can help, but don't expect too much," Gulnazar said.

"What's going on? You're so nice of me, offering to lend me money without worrying about not being able to pay it back. I thought that with our relationship, it was already a good thing that you didn't hate me," Shen Ze said.

"It's just a few thousand yuan. If you don't want to pay it back, then don't. Besides, even if I don't trust you, I can trust your partner. Considering she owes me money, why don't you lend her more?" Gulinaza laughed.

"Get out of here."

"But I'm curious, what will happen to your partner if you terminate the contract?" This was what Gulnazar was most curious about.

"Whatever, she'll come tomorrow. Why don't you ask her in person?" Shen Ze said.

"Let's forget about it then. Let's stay far apart tomorrow. It's graduation, so let's all keep a peaceful distance. We took some photos. By the way, 'Rose Thief' is a pretty good song." Shen Ze actually posted on Weibo when he released "Rose Thief," but only a handful of people did so. The company didn't promote it because he was disobedient, but his classmates who were interested knew about it.

On this day, everyone took a group photo. Everyone felt a little reluctant to leave, even though they had already entered the workforce and hadn't seen each other every day for the past two years. But leaving campus life was still a bit of a feeling.

The next day, wearing their graduation caps, they began taking photos all over the school. A woman, Dilireba, was seen with Shen Ze; she was considered his family member and seemed quite pleased, except for the group photos. Shen Ze and Gulnazar did not have any separate photos together.

"You did a great job this time; you even tidied up the house." Back in their little apartment, Dilraba looked around and felt it felt much more spacious, so she praised her.

"It's hot, there's something I want to discuss with you. Let's cancel our reservation for this room," Shen Ze said.

"Okay, this place is actually a bit small and not very convenient. Now that you've graduated, let's move to a bigger place," Dilraba said.

"I'll talk to the landlord and ask him to get some rest early tonight."

"Okay." Dilireba was very happy. After graduation, Shen Ze and Gulnazar would no longer have any need to cross paths.

That night, Dilireba had a very bad experience. Shen Ze was acting like a madman, wanting more after already wanting her. Oh well, graduation is here, so she'll give him one last time.

The next day, I woke up groggily, and when I didn't find my partner, I was unhappy.

She got up and went to the dining table, where breakfast was laid out. Dilireba said that this was the day she had been looking forward to. But where was Shen Ze? Could he have gone to see Gulnazar again?

Suddenly, she saw a small wooden box on the dressing table. What was this? She opened it and found a letter.

At first, she thought it was a love letter and thought Shen Ze was quite romantic, but after reading the beginning, she felt her blood boil.

Suddenly, she clutched her head, feeling dizzy, and then collapsed straight down. She didn't faint, or rather, it would have been better if she had.

How dare he? How dare he? No wonder I felt something was off about him lately. I initially thought it was about terminating the contract, but now it seems he had planned this all along.

But this isn't fair, it's not fair, Shen Ze, this isn't my perfect plan. My relationship may have a stain, but I'm trying to erase it. But why did you leave?

Inside the wooden box next to it, the handwriting on the letter was clearly visible.
