Shi Su was just about to look down at her screen when Jun quickly dashed over and picked up the phone. "Why do your text message and WeChat notifications sound the same?" Shi Su twitched her mouth: "I usually don’t have the time to be bored enough to fiddle with my phone and distinguish the different notification sounds for texts and WeChat." Jun was speechless, directly tossing the phone back into her lap, refusing to give up and continued waiting. "I refuse to believe he won’t reply! He’s clearly interested in you!" Shi Su didn’t say another word, only glanced at her quiet phone with her eyes. An hour later, still no reply. Two hours later, no reply. By dusk, as the sunset faded, Jun became drowsy, sitting in the studio’s office with one hand supporting her head, looking at Shi Su and asked, "Could he think that emoji was stupid, so he can’t be bothered to reply?" Shi Su shot her a sideways glance: "So you also know it was stupid, you were clearly setting me up." "Why would I set you up? It was pure curiosity. Jing Jihan, isn’t he rumored to be very aloof? But I found him pretty down-to-earth at your house, not the kind of elusive presence the rumors say." Jun lazily said, "It’s getting dark, and there’s still no reply. Forget it, I lost." Shi Su laughed at her words: "One percent? No take-backs!" Jun waved her off: "You hurry and get back to the group, the god of wealth is calling you, don’t delay!" Shi Su picked up her phone and got up to leave, smilingly putting her phone back into her pocket as she walked out. She never expected that within a few days she would get such a windfall. After all, Jun’s artist studio was under Yijia Media, and Shi Su’s entire contract was with Yijia Media, every penny earned had to be divided with the company before she could split it with the studio. A one percent cut wasn’t a small amount. Even if she had to be seen as a fool by Jing Jihan, she could bear it. After all, when he was at her house, he had seen her at her worst, and such little things likely didn’t matter to the big patron. After leaving the studio and getting back into the car, Shi Su thought for a moment, then suddenly took out her phone for a look, staring at that emoji with a toothy grin, and the conversation box that had not seen a reply for a long time, not knowing how long she looked, but when she came to her senses, she hurriedly put the phone down, started the car, and drove back to Kaixing Mansion. Mrs. Qin returned from home today, and Shi Su told her the address of her current residence, asking her to come here first. Mrs. Qin had previously rented a small apartment in Jiang City, she usually went to Shi Su’s house to take care of Mianmian’s daily needs, but due to some family matters, she took a few months off, and only recently returned. However, Mrs. Qin still planned to stay in her little apartment rather than live at Shi Su’s place unless there was a special need to stay with Mianmian overnight; otherwise, she usually stayed at her own place. After returning home, Shi Su briefly discussed the current living arrangements with Mrs. Qin. Since the house was bigger and her situation was better now, she planned to give Mrs. Qin a salary raise. After discussing the essentials, Mrs. Qin went to the next bedroom to read "One Hundred Thousand Whys" to Shi Mianmian, while Shi Su returned to the master bedroom. She intended to lie down and read a script for a while, but for some reason, she always felt like pulling out her phone for a look. After a while, she still didn’t know what she was looking at. She browsed through her social circle, sporadically refreshed her smaller accounts on Weibo, glanced at the news intermittently, then returned to the WeChat page. Until WeChat suddenly made a noise, she quickly picked up her phone, only to see it was a message from Jun. The promotional video for the advertisement collaboration between Tilans and Shi Su would be launched online tomorrow, reminding Shi Su to coordinate with the media for promotion. After replying, Shi Su exited the page, pausing momentarily on the three words Jing Jihan below. As the behind-the-scenes footage of Tilans’ underwater shoot was released, and after Tilans repeatedly confirmed across various media that Shi Su was indeed the sole endorser for the Greater China region in recent days, Shi Su’s attention in the entertainment industry circle soared in just a few days. This circle is like that; the higher you climb, the more people pay attention to you. Especially someone like Shi Su, who seemed to have a strong backing, but people couldn’t quite figure out what kind of backing it was. Coupled with the glory of the Tilans brand, the jobs she was due to take on were genuinely increasing. Apart from the pile of scripts that she could not finish reading in the short term, there were also other advert requests that did not conflict with Tilans. After wrapping up with the Yao Platform crew, her next drama was quickly confirmed, and the advertising collaborations progressed smoothly. Shi Su did not even realize that she had squeezed into the ranks of second-tier female artists overnight, and there were media and big Vs on Weibo predicting when she would make it to the first-tier. They predicted how much she would benefit after the broadcast of Yao Platform’s drama—whether she would become a controversial hit or simply explode in popularity, with increasing discussions surrounding her. However, Shi Su’s own Weibo remained forever silent, never uttering a word. Apart from the studio people logging in for promotional collaboration with advertisers, Shi Su herself rarely logged into her main account to check private messages. Though there was attention, her most eagerly anticipated work had not yet aired, so she didn’t really have any true fans. Lately, she had only heard complaints from studio staff, saying that while logging into her Weibo, they inadvertently saw some private messages, where Shi Yunyin’s fans still often indulged in verbal abuse and curses against Shi Su. Shi Yunyin’s fans were especially proud of the movie "Chi Xiao" from back then, claiming that Shi Yunyin not only stunned the domestic and international fans with a single dance but also became the youngest film queen domestically. And Shi Su was, in their eyes, nothing, undeserving of her place, and bound to suffer backlash, cursing her looks to falter, all her dramas to flop, and that she’d never land a movie or any good resources in her lifetime. The fans said whatever filthy things came to their minds, whatever pierced one’s heart they mentioned. Ironically, when Shi Su heard the studio people complaining about the movie "Chi Xiao," she suddenly asked: "Was that dance really that beautiful?" The studio team replied honestly, "Although Miss Shi is indeed too flamboyant in the circle, has personality issues, and her fans lack quality, and though her works in recent years have not been extraordinary, it’s undeniable that the dance she performed through the gauze curtain in ’Chi Xiao’ five years ago was truly stunning! Even as a little girl, I was moved by it! But what good is being moved, with her fans being so nasty, I turned from a passerby to a hater!" Chujie suddenly elongated her voice with surprise nearby and asked: "Shi Su, have you not seen ’Chi Xiao’? That was such a hit movie, and it even won many awards—it’s been five years, you haven’t seen it——" Shi Su didn’t lift her eyelids, replied unhurriedly: "I happened to be abroad five years ago, so indeed, I haven’t seen it."
