Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 674 - 276

Qi Baotan looked at the person in the livestream and instinctively covered her mouth, exclaiming, "It’s An’an."

Although the girl in the camera was wearing a baseball cap that obscured half her face, making it difficult for most people to see her features clearly, the outline of her facial structure definitely marked her as a stunning beauty.

The viewers watching the livestream were momentarily dazzled. When the camera switched to her and then back to Rong Xianning, their eyes felt extraordinarily soothed.

For an inexplicable reason, there seemed to be a similar aura surrounding the two individuals—both carrying the same youthful composure, both imbued with an air of mystery...

It was as if the boundary between black and white, the intersection between yin and yang, coexisted symbiotically yet balanced perfectly.

The comment section was exploding: "I need all the information about this beauty within one minute!"

However, some bitter Lemons were sarcastically attacking this girl, accusing her of intentionally hogging the spotlight, with their remarks growing increasingly ugly.

Qi Baotan, enraged upon seeing these comments attacking the girl, reported them all.

Those who hadn’t met Shen You’an before merely assumed she was a stranger, but Qi Baotan immediately recognized her at a glance—it was An’an.

So this was what An’an meant earlier when she said she had something to do—with Rong Xianning.

Sitting on the opposite sofa touching up her makeup, Luuo Yunqi narrowed her eyes, glanced at Qi Baotan, and whispered to Zhang Xiaoya, "What’s she doing?"

Zhang Xiaoya poured a glass of water for Luuo Yunqi and replied, "Watching Rong Xianning’s livestream from next door."

Luuo Yunqi sneered, "Who would’ve thought? She actually likes that rookie kid."

Zhang Xiaoya furrowed her brows slightly, "Rong Xianning is currently on fire in the entertainment industry, with his popularity out of this world. It’s best not to let his fans hear you talk like that."

The fans cultivated from talent shows have astonishing battle power, capable of tearing Luuo Yunqi apart ten times over with little difficulty.

From what just happened earlier, she still hadn’t learned the importance of caution.

Luuo Yunqi pouted, "Of course I know. Isn’t it just that I’m saying this to you on the down-low?"

Picking up her phone, Luuo Yunqi opened the livestream. She wanted to see for herself what charm this Rong Xianning really had.

There were so many viewers in the livestream that Luuo Yunqi almost couldn’t get in.

Just as she entered, she heard the host’s voice: "What hobbies do you usually have, Xianning?"

The camera focused on the young man.

Beneath the brim of his cap was a face more delicate than a girl’s, his eyes seemingly containing an entire galaxy—gentle, yet dazzling.

Luuo Yunqi had previously heard of Rong Xianning’s name. Back when he was participating in the program, her classmates and friends were all urging people to vote for him. Even now, his posts were floating on the homepage of their campus forum.

But Luuo Yunqi hadn’t seen any of his performances, only occasionally glancing at him in trending searches, remembering him as a naive, wet-behind-the-ears kid.

How long had it been? Why did it suddenly feel like he had matured—shedding his rawness and showcasing a composed and poised demeanor?

The youth’s voice was exceptionally pleasant, like the gentle gurgling of spring waters, clear and soothing: "I usually enjoy listening to music, reading, and watching movies."

The host immediately took the cue: "Movies? Xianning, are there any films you’d recommend to your fans?"

After thinking for a moment, the young man replied, "Blue Lake—I’ve been watching it lately. It’s a great suspense film."

The host, who had transitioned from performing arts to broadcasting and had seen plenty of films, said: "Ah, that’s Director Cen Shu’s classic work from twenty years ago! He won a domestic grand slam of three major awards with this movie. Xianning, you’ve got taste."

Luuo Yunqi froze, "Director Cen Shu’s Blue Lake."

Zhang Xiaoya arched a brow, "Director Cen’s connections..."

Rong Xianning couldn’t have casually brought up Director Cen. In the entertainment world, every word spoken in front of the camera was scrutinized and crafted by the agency behind the scenes. For someone as young as Rong Xianning, he was likely still but a puppet of his company; the words he spoke were most definitely dictated by the agency.

She hadn’t heard of Director Cen being associated with the renowned Eternal Century in this industry either.

Soon after, they heard Rong Xianning say, "I admire Director Cen Shu’s narrative style. Whether suspense or martial arts, his works carry a unique essence and spirit."

The host’s eyes lit up, and they smiled, "What a coincidence—Director Cen Shu is in Wenze City right now."

For the first time, some surprise flickered across Rong Xianning’s perpetually composed face, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Director Cen is traveling with the cast for the promotional tour of his new movie, Jianghu Smile, at Shenda International Cinema in Block B."

This round of promotion was simply impeccable.

Qi Baotan exclaimed joyfully, "Rong Xianning’s actually helping to promote our movie!"

The traffic and attention Rong Xianning brought were far more effective than the efforts of the entire cast running around endlessly.

Luuo Yunqi was also surprised, "Director Cen had this connection, huh?"

The comment section was practically exploding. Twenty million people were watching the livestream, breaking the platform’s viewership statistics. Just Rong Xianning mentioning the new movie Jianghu Smile had racked up immense attention.

——So Ningning also likes Director Cen? What a coincidence, I finally share the same taste as my idol. I’m proud.

——Director Cen’s new movie Jianghu Smile is set for release on New Year’s Day, right? Ningning will definitely watch it in theaters. If I camp out at the cinema then, will I get a chance encounter with Ningning?

——Jianghu Smile is dripping with outrageous luck—you better catch it.

——Just got back from Jianghu Smile’s official website. Their cast has a promotional event in Qingzhou at 3 PM. Aning is at the same mall. Wonder if he’ll show up on-site later.

——Blue Lake is so bloody and violent. How could Ningning like that kind of movie? That host suddenly bringing up Director Cen seemed a bit fishy, and coordinating the movie promo tour to overlap with Ningning’s schedule makes it hard to believe it wasn’t intentional. This lame film sure loves to hitch a ride.

Once the event concluded, under the reluctant gazes of his fans, Rong Xianning was escorted by security to the VIP lounge.

Yan Lu was musing over whether to force him into doing something he didn’t like, but others were not as concerned.

Take for instance Zhao Wei, the person in charge of Flying Leopard Company. His daughter was a fan of Rong Xianning and took advantage of her father’s company position to bring along a few of her girlfriends for a private meeting with Rong Xianning—photos and autographs included.

This was an open secret within the industry, and the agency tacitly agreed.

After all, Flying Leopard Company had invested heavily in the team this time, and no one dared cross the big spender.

"Are we really going to meet Rong Xianning? I still feel like I’m dreaming," one of the girls said.

Zhao Yuanyuan said proudly, "My dad’s a high-level executive at Flying Leopard Company—this is all just a sentence away."

"Yuanyuan is so lucky to have a dad like that. We’re fortunate to benefit from her connections too."

A group of girls giggled and chirped as they made their way down the hallway.

Yan Lu witnessed the scene and was incensed, "What I didn’t dare do, they’re brazenly flaunting."

Gao Yuyue yawned lazily, "Flying Leopard brand matters—that’s not something my uncle manages."

Gao Yuyue glanced at Shen You’an, her gaze practically saying, ’Beg me.’

The Flying Leopard brand was indeed beyond her jurisdiction, but they dared not cross Ren Mingze either. With just one word from Ren Mingze’s secretary, Zhao Wei would have no choice but to comply.

But why would she do that? She had nothing to do with that guy surnamed Rong.

Shen You’an stayed silent, striding forward quickly to block the lounge doorway.

Gao Yuyue propped an elbow on Yan Lu’s shoulder, sneering boldly, "Running faster than anyone else—who’d believe you two aren’t involved?"

Zhao Yuanyuan frowned at the girl blocking the doorway. Upon recognizing her as the one who fetched the ball for Rong Xianning earlier, her expression darkened, "It’s you? Get out of my way."
