Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?

The next morning, Sheng Tang woke up hungry.

She smelled the familiar scent of breakfast and immediately sat up.

Gu Jiahui was already sitting at the dining table, chatting casually with Cheng Lichuan while eating breakfast.

"Why didn’t you call me for breakfast?" Sheng Tang pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up a bowl and scooping some corn porridge to drink.

Gu Jiahui swatted her hand away: "Go brush your teeth! You didn’t shower last night."

"It’s okay, I’ll brush after I eat." Sheng Tang replied.

Gu Jiahui: "..."

Cheng Lichuan laughed from the side.

Sheng Tang drank several sips of porridge, feeling her whole body come to life, rejuvenated and full of energy—not like the half-dead state she was in when she came home yesterday.

"When did you get back?" Sheng Tang asked.

Gu Jiahui: "The evening flight. A friend of mine from Beijing happened to have an evening route, so I took his private jet back."

"All done with work?"

Gu Jiahui: "The company has people over there; I don’t need to be there personally."

Sheng Tang didn’t say anything further.

She finished her bowl of corn porridge and then went to shower and wash her face.

In the morning, Gu Jiahui and Cheng Lichuan had no plans, and the three discussed whether to go out and have some fun.

Sheng Tang, however, wasn’t in the mood.

"The midnight show of ’Career Showdown’ is tonight," Sheng Tang said, "I’m the lead in this movie. If the box office isn’t good..."

She was very anxious.

It was different from her mindset during ’Climbing to Success.’

At that time, Sheng Tang had no real hopes for the box office; she just wanted to win awards with that movie.

Now, she’s very anxious about the box office of ’Career Showdown.’ This is a commercial film, a testament to her box-office appeal.

If it flops, she might not get any good projects in the short term.

If it’s a big success, she’d have the qualifications to choose scripts going forward, and she would definitely qualify for leading roles in auditions.

Even for lower-budget romance films, she might not need to audition and could be directly chosen as the lead actress.

This is crucial for her career.

"The box office will definitely explode; the question is how much." Gu Jiahui comforted her, "Zheng Weiwei’s marketing skills have always been top-notch."

"Let’s hope so." Sheng Tang replied.

However, until the first-day box office figures are out, who can really relax?

Not just Sheng Tang—even Zheng Weiwei, who has had several blockbuster movies, must be feeling uneasy at this moment.

Everyone will only truly relax when the first-day box office results come out and are very promising.

"All the movies during the summer holiday season flopped." Gu Jiahui added, "Didn’t you see the predictions? The market and audience are very optimistic about this one for the National Day holiday."

"Even so, we still have to wait." Sheng Tang replied. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She didn’t do anything and just stayed at home practicing yoga.

On September 30th, she spent the day like that; on October 1st, she simply turned off her phone and picked a foreign movie series to watch all day.

That day, Gu Jiahui had a social engagement and left early; Cheng Lichuan had plans with classmates.

He didn’t say which classmates, but Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui privately speculated that he might be seeing a girlfriend.

Cheng Lichuan is quite a catch and has spent all these years focused on studying without dating. Now that he’s finished his PhD and is teaching at a university, he can finally date without worries.

Sheng Tang spent the entire day at home.

Until the evening, someone came knocking at the door.

"Sister Tang, are you home?" Ai’ai’s voice came from outside, "Are you home? Why is your phone unreachable?"
