The Female Lead Has No Cheats-Chapter 6: Abandon Heroine’s Status and Become an Insignificant Cannon Fodder (3)
Seeing how positive Lin Yueqi was, Xiao Ke couldn’t be any more angry. She said, “Qin Xue was the one who got you disfigured and trapped you with the illegitimate daughter scandal. Now, your persona has collapsed and the entire net is swearing at you. At the heart of the struggle, all the business partners are avoiding you, but the reality show set in which Qin Xue is at suddenly offered this collaboration… do you know what that means? Sister Qi, only your mental state is that of a 17 years old. It’s not like your IQ has decreased. Think carefully.”
After Lin Yueqi learned about this reality show in detail, she smiled and said, “My beautiful brain isn’t just for show. I obviously know.”
She threw the fried potato chip bag down and sat criss-crossed, analyzing, “Qin Xue is certain that I need a chance to clear my name. The reality show will begin filming a month later and by then, the scar on my face will definitely not be healed. The moment I agree to it, when I am on TV, under the HD camera, it will definitely portray the contrast between her and my face, making her look even more beautiful when standing next to me. By then, not only can’t I clear my name, but I will be in an even worse situation.”
Lin Yueqi glanced at Xiao Ke in seriousness and asked, “So, in Qin Xue’s eyes, will the future me be that stupid? Could it be that in her eyes, I’m that shortsighted and eager to express myself?”
“…” Xiao Ke cut her off and said, “You weren’t like this in the past. Ever since she appeared, you couldn’t seem to make the right decisions, and so you anxiously want a chance to express yourself… Sister Qi, I’m comforted now that you understand. Sister Qi, let’s listen to the company’s arrangements and stay on the downlow for a while. When the online users pretty much forget about you and your face is healed, we can come back out of retirement.”
“No.” Lin Yueqi said persistently, “Since Miss Qin Xue had set this trap up so meticulously, I obviously need to play along.”
Xiao Ke was confused and retorted, “Sister Qi, you have a plan?”
“No.”
“Then you…”
“I just want her to get what she wishes. Doesn’t she want me to fail completely and be in ruins? Then fine. I’ll play along and let her have it.”
“Sister Qi, you’re crazy!”
“No, I just don’t want to be an actress anymore. Qin Xue will only completely let me go when she achieves her motive. Last night, I already calculated this. Once I return the little bun to her father, I’ll go back home and open a supermarket in the country town. After all, I’ve been a celebrity and a rich person is still better off than ordinary people. The business will definitely be good.” Lin Yueqi seriously calculated this and then right after, she turned around to ask her assistant, “Xiao Ke, you seem pretty loyal to me. Do you want to work with me in the future? I’ll let you be my manager and you can get a monthly salary of 6,000. How does that sound?”
Opening a snack counter by the school door and a supermarket in the country town were dreams second only to being a celebrity.
The corner of Xiao Ke’s lips twitched and she asked, “Sister Qi, do you know my salary right now?”
“Could it be higher than what I’ve proposed?”
“22,000.”
“Damn…”
Only
Lin Yueqi was speechless.
An assistant’s salary was that high eight years later?
……
Lin Yueqi agreed to filming the 《Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competition》reality show.
She knew that she could earn a lot of money in the entertainment industry, but if she continued on this path, she would lose herself. Therefore, she immediately abandoned the thought of staying in the entertainment industry.
She had cars and properties, and even bank savings. She didn’t need to practice for the college entrance exams, so what isn’t there to be pleased with?
Therefore, she agreed to take part in this reality show and let Qin Xue reach her goal of “defeating” her. Not only could she obtain the 2.4 million from three episodes, she also had an excuse to “leave successfully” and say goodbye to the entertainment industry.
As long as she left the entertainment industry, gave her daughter back to her future husband and insisted upon not marrying Lu Ting, it was equivalent to giving up her heroine status and becoming an insignificant cannon fodder.
