CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 407 - 399: The Whole Group Gathers

Hotel

Yu Qingjia and Wang Yiran did not return to the center after getting off the car.

They wanted to find a quiet place to rest; the center was too noisy.

"How are you feeling?"

"Not too bad."

"You look so tired."

Wang Yiran propped her fair, lotus-like arm as she looked at Yu Qingjia lying there.

The other’s nose was perked up, just like a character from a comic.

"Maybe today’s shoot was too exhausting." Yu Qingjia also sat up and walked to the window to light a cigarette.

"Yiran, why didn’t you add Fu Xiaoyu on WeChat today?"

"Why should I add her? Do you want me to add her?"

"She has a wild beauty, that attacking aura is quite attractive."

"Oh! It seems like I should add her, help you get in touch."

Wang Yiran crossed her legs on the bed, watching her friend’s graceful back with a half-smile.

"Haha! I don’t need that! Having you as my only friend is enough."

"Qingjia, I’ll knit you a sweater!"

"A sweater? What month is it now!"

"I can knit it slowly, by the time the snow is falling, you’ll be able to wear it."

Yu Qingjia turned around, her gentle spring-like face full of smiles.

"Yiran, the warmth then will surely warm my heart."

"Haha! Haha! Qingjia, we can never part for life."

Wang Yiran’s snow-white feet ran across the carpet.

Soon, the laughter of the two filled the small, warm space.

After enough fun, they ate the bought grilled fish and drank vodka together.

Yu Qingjia felt that she was quite real now.

Because she could clearly feel Wang Yiran’s body temperature, breathing, and the softness of her touch.

This was a living friend right by her side.

Although the image of Li Jiaqi occasionally appeared in her mind, making it feel as if she were near. She could almost reach out and touch her.

She often recalled Li Jiaqi’s various charms, this girl had left too many indelible memories in her life.

She remembered how, on a rainy night, Li Jiaqi ran back soaking wet, holding a cake wrapped in clothes; it was her birthday that day.

Also, whenever they were together, Li Jiaqi always liked to wear a yellow hairpin, saying it gave her some kind of strength.

All these memories came like waves, one after another; usually, she would cry sadly, unable to hold back tears, but now, they dissipated like smoke.

"Qingjia, do you think we can make it through?"

"I don’t know, maybe we can, or maybe it’s just a dream."

"What if it’s just a dream, what then when we wake up?"

"Yiran, even if it’s a dream, we can’t go back, you know, sometimes I’m truly scared."

Yu Qingjia looked at Wang Yiran, her eyes filled with helpless pain.

"...Qingjia!"

Wang Yiran felt the fear emanating from Yu Qingjia.

"I’m afraid that after I graduate, the company will pull back all the resources."

"Those who once said they’d love me for a lifetime have already moved on."

"When I go out, it’s all lonely and silent around me, no one calls my name anymore, no one jokes with me, no one takes pictures of me."

Listening to Yu Qingjia’s words, Wang Yiran also shed tears.

Though she understood the truth that beauty fades and visits grow sparse, she dared not think what to do when that time actually came.

"Sister Qingjia, you’re one of the top three in Galaxy, why would you think like that."

"This top three in Galaxy is useless, you see, even those who didn’t enter the Natural Girl group have more resources than us."

"They just have better luck, we just lack some luck, no platform."

Wang Yiran rolled over and said, "I plan to fight for another three years, if I still don’t make it by 27, I’ll open a restaurant."

"Open a restaurant?" Yu Qingjia widened her eyes in surprise, never having expected this seemingly ambitious girl would want to go into business.

"Yeah! After graduation, you still have to eat, need to find a career."

"Well then, let’s open it together, okay?"

"No, you just handle the money at the restaurant, I’ll take care of you."

Yu Qingjia’s heart suddenly felt warm, bowing her head in shyness, "I don’t need you to take care of me."

"Even if you don’t need it, I’ll still do it, I’ll stick to you for a lifetime."

The lighting was warm, like dim sunlight, making the room feel dreamy and unreal.

The next day at Big Ship Company

"Meixuan, long time no see, you’ve become more beautiful again." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Haha! Yuwei, how are you guys? I rushed back right after shooting."

Meng Meixuan pounced on Ye Yuwei upon seeing her, almost knocking the latter off balance.

"Meixuan, you’re way too heavy, what have you been eating on set?"

"I want to eat freely, yet it’s cabbage with a small piece of bread every day."

Meng Meixuan feigned a pitiful face, taking advantage of the moment to hold Ye Yuwei tightly.

"Cough! Cough! Meixuan, aren’t you tired?" Zhang Zi’s gaze was cool.

Meng Meixuan stuck her tongue out provocatively at her but still released Ye Yuwei.

Over there, Wu Zixuan was handing out snacks to everyone: "Tonight, we must have a good meal together, it’s been a while since everyone’s gathered like this."

"Zixuan, why is your hair looking thinner?" Duan Yuxin looked at her with a face full of horror.

"Ah! Don’t mention it." Wu Zixuan hurriedly put on a hat.

She was shooting a costume drama, had to wear a wig and style her hair; anyone would lose hair from that, but her hair wasn’t thick to begin with.

"Qiqi, why haven’t you grown taller yet? I’ve been gone nearly a month." Meng Meixuan teased as she went over to Lai Ruoxuan.

"Annoying, don’t you know I’m 2’8"?" Lai Ruoxuan flashed an adorable smile.

"Zi Meng, your Huaxia language is getting better and better, though you have gained weight." Jiang Mengqi joked with Li Zimeng, who had come back after signing some passport papers.

Li Zimeng just smiled gently without responding.

"Rainbow, speaking to her is useless, she’s like a wooden beauty." Yang Ni exclaimed loudly.

"The key is your charm isn’t enough, if it were a handsome guy, it might work." Lai Ruoxuan laughed.

"Where’s the handsome guy, where is he?" Yang Ni placed her hand on her forehead pretending to search.

Over there, Fu Xiaoyu was laughing heartily; with Yang Ni around, their group would never cool down.

You know, the heat among this group is measured by the minute.

Even those not very popular get invited to quite a few second-tier variety shows.

"Fangxin, congratulations on both your variety shows being a hit." Meng Meixuan held the former’s hand.

Lv Fangxin felt a little resistant inside but couldn’t push away: "It’s alright, your big-screen movie will be a hit too."

"That’s why we say it’s like Fangxin is a dragon spirit, what she participates in, flourishes." Yang Ni laughed.

"So this song of ours will also be a huge hit." Lai Ruoxuan was full of confidence.

"Fangxin, this time surely you’ll have complete resources, right?" Yang Ni asked.

"Should have long had them, our Fangxin has a major hit physique." Ye Yuwei laughed as well.

In truth, their words were standing up for Lv Fangxin.

After Lv Fangxin participated in a show that Wang Na rejected, the episode she was in unexpectedly skyrocketed.

But she couldn’t be scheduled for more recordings.

Because the subsequent shows had already booked other guests.

Before the above show even aired,

She was pulled back by Penguin for another self-produced show that was already a flop.

And again, the episode she recorded became a hit.

This discovery was like a new continent to Penguin, and their attitude toward Lv Fangxin changed drastically.

You know, the money made from variety shows can rival that from film and TV, with much less risk.

Lv Fangxin was a veritable goldmine.

So Penguin scrapped the original short-term cash grab plan.

Decided to produce a few good songs and raise the group’s profile a bit.

This would eventually lead to a major group variety project.

Of course, this commercial decision was unknown to the 11 girls.

They just thought Penguin had a change of heart and was going to seriously invest in the group.
