Chapter 131: The Protagonist Has A Black Bag Group [4]

The crowd wailed and howled all night until dawn, the pain that pierce the bone marrow disappeared like a tide.

Everyone fell to the ground like a pool of mud, their eyes were red, their voices were hoarse, their expressions were sluggish, and they looked extremely embarrassed.

Qiu He whispered in a hoarse voice, "Wrong, wrong, we all thought wrong, they were not human, they were devil..."

After the double baptism of spirit and body last night, no one thinks that the god of death was an ordinary person who came to seek revenge for them! This was obviously a devil! Or a devil who eats people without blinking!

"What to do?"

"What else can we do?"

"Do as he said, annex the Xi group... We have done our best."

Before, they had their own thoughts, saying that they would advance together and retreat together, but in their hearts, they were eyeing the Xi Family. But after this encounter, they were really asked to carve up the Xi Group, but no one could be happy. With a sharp sword hanging over their head that could fall at any time, who knows if it will be their turn next?

But if you don't do what they said, you will have to suffer this kind of pain on the next full moon night, which is something that few people don't want to bear at all. As a result, the property of the Xi Family was attacked by the three families of An, Qiu and Bai. With one against three, and their understanding of the foundation, the Xi Group was soon outmatched, and the huge Xi Group was about to collapse.

Mr. Xi lobbied to find allies and all kinds of inducements to no avail. The three families were determined to work together to deal with the Xi Family.

How would they know that if he didn't deal with them, he would suffer the heart and the bones pain on the night of the full moon, which was related to his own safety. Who would agree to form an alliance with him?

Mr. Xi was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. He was sent to the hospital. The Xi Group lost its leader and became even more precarious, but after all, it was an old family, and there was always some unknown backing, so it was not a problem to support them for three to five months. Moreover, the three families of Bai, Qiu, and An had their own thoughts, and they all wanted to acquire more shares, but they could not be completely united, and they fell into a stalemate for a while.

Just when the two sides were in a tug-of-war, Qiu Rin and others, who were thinking behind closed doors of their respective homes, including Xi Yue, suddenly received a message, not the god of death, but an unfamiliar number.

"Will you be awakened by a nightmare when you return from a dream in the middle of the night?"

A word without an opening, but because of the foreshadowing of the god of death, several people did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent people to investigate.

Before the results came back, several more pieces of information followed.

"Have you ever felt guilty for the life you killed?"

"It's so cold in the water, I really want you to come down and accompany me."

"I can't wait for you, I have to come back."

"I'm here to find you, and I want to get back everything you owe me."

"I'm waiting for you in hell..."

These few pieces of information made people shiver and get goosebumps for no reason, but that's about it. The nightmares of the god of death were repeated, and their heart was devoured. This trivial point was not enough.

Because they paid attention to it from the beginning, and the people behind the scenes were not very shrewd, so the people they sent out quickly found her.

"Qiao Anran, Qiao Wenqing's sister..."

This sentence alone made Qiu Rin and the four understand the purpose of what she did. If it was normal, they might still blame themselves and feel guilty, but right now they couldn't protect themselves, they were anxious about the predicament they were facing, and they didn't have a good impression of this woman who suddenly appeared and pretended to be a ghost.

Qiu Rin waved his hand in annoyance, "Warn her, let her be obedient, and dare to make trouble after taking her sister's huge compensation. Did she have any brains?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a girl in a white dress rushing in, with a pair of brilliant eyes that could talk, with tears in them, but bit her lip stubbornly to keep it from falling, "You think it's amazing to have a few stinky money! You took a human life and just ended it with money? Do you still have heart?" She said while throwing a bank card at Qiu Rin, "Take back your stinky money! Don't use it to insult us! My sister's life cannot be bought with money!"

After the initial consternation, Qiu Lin retracted his exposed emotions, and sat on the sofa, rubbing the bank card slowly, his voice was very cold, "Money can't buy your sister's life, but it can buy your mother's life. Your mother is in hospital and urgently needs surgery, but she can't find the life-saving money."

Having investigated Qiao Anran's personal information, he naturally knows her family well.

Wen Yan Qiao Anran's eyes widened. Obviously, she didn't know about it yet. That's right, she came to this city alone with a bank card. In order to play tricks, she also turned off her mobile phone and sent those text messages to the four of them with a little trumpet account. How could she know the situation at home?

"Besides," He suddenly stood up, his face was close to Qiao Anran, and the handsome face was enlarged in front of her, making Qiao Anran's heart stop for a while, and her face turned red unconsciously. Although this person has a bad personality, he was really good-looking.

"...This dress on your body costs 5,000 Yuan. Without your sister's hard-earned money, your family's income can't afford such a dress. So, don't spend your sister's compensation money while saying that you don't look want the stinky money"

Qiao Anran's face turned pale all of a sudden, her eyes flashed with shame, Qiu Rin raised the bank card in his hand and looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you sure this is all the money we give you? Not even a penny less?"

Qiao Anran's face flushed instantly again, and she shouted angrily, "I will pay you back! I will pay back the remaining amount! In short, our family will never want your stinky money! You also remember that my sister was killed by you! It was a game of yours that killed her! Don't think about having a peace of mind for the rest of your life!"

Qiu Rin's face slowly disappeared, the hand holding the bank card slowly tightened, the veins on the back of his hand burst out, and the knuckles turned white due to the force. Seeing his posture, Qiao Anran thought he was going to beat her, so she took a step back in fright, "What are you going to do?"

Qiu Rin ignored her because he suddenly linked the god of death with Qiao Wenqing. They forced her to death because of a "game", and now it's their turn to be played by the "game". Is it a retribution of his bad karma? Or... Is this related to Qiao Wenqing?

No, no, Qiao Wenqing was dead. He watched her body being carried away with his own eyes. Although it was swollen by the lake, he was still sure that it was Qiao Wenqing herself.

Qiu Rin persuaded himself like this, but the thought that flashed just now was still lingering in his heart.

Qiu Rin didn't embarrass Qiao Anran very much, but just took back the bank card she disdained, and he waited to see how this woman who looked down on his stinky money and admired vanity would struggle after returning to poverty.

Even if he was in prison, the inferiority was still deeply rooted in his bones, and it will be revealed inadvertently. Perhaps, just a little vent under the oppression of death?

After Qiao Anran was kicked out, she was embarrassed and angry. These people were really not good people. They killed her sister, and now they are humiliating her like this. It's no exaggeration for her to call them demons.

She also found her sister's diary by accident, and only then did she know the truth of her death. In the beginning, the school only said it was suicide, but I didn't state the reason why. The deceased has passed away, and the living has to live. Therefore, after her parents received the compensation, they chose to remain silent.

It was undeniable that the family's life has changed dramatically in the past two years because of this money, at least she really couldn't afford such an expensive dress before. But when she thought that her skirt was exchanged for her sister's hard-working money, she felt uncomfortable. Although Big Sister has been studying in boarding school in junior high and high school, she seldom goes home on weekends to send money, and they don't have much time to see each other, but they had a good relationship when they were young. Big Sister loved her very much, and let her do everything...

Therefore, when she knew that her sister was killed, she really wanted to kill all those people. But she knew that she couldn't do it. Just by looking at the temperament of the people in the photo, she knew that they were all rich or expensive, how could she, an ordinary girl, get revenge?

But if she didn't do anything, she felt sorry for her sister who had loved her since childhood, so she came to this city alone, even if she couldn't get revenge, she would make them sleepless.

But things didn't develop as she expected. She was found out at the beginning, and it was her sister's boyfriend who found her.

The other party was more handsome and noble than what she saw in the photo, but also more nasty and annoying than she imagined. She couldn't hide her thoughts, which made her feel very embarrassed, and she just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

Then she thought of what the person said that her mother was in the hospital for surgery. No matter if it was true or not, she would have to go back and have a look. When she came out, she was afraid that her parents would stop her from doing what she was going to do, so she only left a note, took the bank card, and left in a hurry... I don't know how anxious they are going to be.

Qiao Anran just returned when she received a scolding, " Where did you go, you bastard? You ran away without saying anything. Your mother was hit by a car on the road trying to find you, and she's still in a coma in the hospital now! The hospital is waiting for us to pay the surgery fee, but you have taken all the money from the family! If something happens to your mother, it's all your fault!"

Father Qiao came back to get something, and just happened to bump into her. After scolding her, he asked her, "Where's the card? Hurry up and take it out, the hospital is still waiting for the payment!"

Stunned by the scolding, and after hearing his question about the card again, she regained her senses, "I give it back to him..."

Father Qiao was anxious when he heard it, "Who is it that you returned it to?"

"The one who paid us the compensation..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she was slapped heavily on the face, "You damn girl! Your mother is still lying in the hospital waiting for help! What are you doing by returning the money back?!"

Qiao Anran, who had never been beaten since she was a child, covered her face in disbelief and looked at her distraught father, "Dad, you beat me..."

Father Qiao 's blood pressure rose in an instant, and he was dizzy, "Is this the time to say this? Do you want to watch your mother die! Hurry up and take it back!"

"No, that's my sister's life-saving money. We can't ask for it! We can't make people look down on us and say that we will exchange my sister's life for money!"

Father Qiao successfully fainted, and Qiao Anran panicked and sent him to the hospital. But as soon as she got to the hospital, her mother needed money, and his father also needed money. A little of the family's savings had been spent on her mother, and Qiao Anran had nowhere to go and ran back to the city where Qiu Rin and the other four were.

Chapter 132: The Protagonist Has A Black Bag Group [5]

"Please, lend me some money. You can let me do anything."

Qiu Rin looked at the woman in front of him who was making a request but had a proud and stubborn face, and a righteous and stubborn expression and sneered from the bottom of his heart. I'm afraid this woman has a hole in her head, right?

He looked at her casually, his tone frivolous, "Huh? Can you do anything?"

This seemed to mean something, which made Qiao Anran blushed, bit her lip, struggled in her heart for a moment, and then nodded seriously, "Well, you can do anything."

Qiu Rin 's face deepened, he leaned forward, approached Qiao Anran, and said word by word, "Then scram as far as you can!"

Qiao Anran was stunned, "You let me scram?"

Qiu Rin ignored her and let the security guard come in and drag her out. It was really boring. He thought she would be able to hold on for a while, but she didn't expect her so-called backbone was to come back to him after only two or three days.

After being thrown out, Qiao Anran still looked sluggish and did not react at all. When she came back to her senses, the door of the enemy family was closed. Qiao Anran was a little embarrassed. Although she had something to ask for, this person's attitude was too bad, right? She was kicked out without asking anything. Her mother was still lying in the hospital. Why can't he help her when he lives in such a big villa?

The enemy's door was closed, and Qiao Anran had no choice but to leave first. Unexpectedly, I ran into Bai Yan on the way back. Of course, she had seen Bai Yan's photo in her sister's diary, so she went to him for help, using the same rhetoric that she used to Qiu Rin.

Of course, Bai Yan still remembers Qiao Wenqing's affairs. After all, her death has something to do with him. It's not a big deal for him to help the other's sister if she asks for help. Moreover, the joint operation of the three companies to snipe the shares of the Xi Family was progressing to a critical moment. Bai Yan didn't want to cause trouble at this time, so he asked his secretary to transfer a sum of money to her.

When Qiao Anran saw him help her without saying a word without asking for repayment, she felt grateful and nostalgic. She felt this man was gentle, thoughtful, and kind.

Qiao Anran took the money and left, and the Xi Group was gradually unable to support themself. Under the concentrated firepower of the other three families, they were already defeated.

In less than a year, the Xi Family completely collapsed, and the family property was completely divided up by the Qiu, Bai, and An families. The rich and powerful family that has been inherited for a hundred years has been destroyed, and not even a wave has been raised.

Mr. Xi didn't hold out in the hospital and left. Xiyue knew that he had entirely caused this disaster. He had an inescapable responsibility for the bankruptcy of the Xi family, and his grandfather's death was like the last straw that overwhelmed his spirit. Needless to say, emotions such as self-blame, guilt, and shame have drowned him.

The enormous pressure made him unable to breathe, and his spirit almost collapsed. Sometimes melancholy, sometimes anxious, several of his suicide attempts were rescued by others. Everyone else was fine, but his left hand was irreversibly injured, and there was no way to recover, so he could only be a one-armed man in the future.

After Qiao Anran got the money, she didn't stay long and rushed back without stopping. She told Dad Qiao that this was the money she borrowed, and she needed to help her benefactor to repay it.

Dad Qiao seemed to only know his daughter for the first time. She was so heartless and didn't care about the mother lying in the hospital bed and had not yet woken up. Since others were kind enough to lend her money, why would they be so anxious for her to repay in a while?

Dad Qiao persuaded her for a long time and finally agreed to wait for her mother to wake up before leaving.

When Qiao Anran set foot in the city again, it was the time when the Xi Group was destroyed. Qiao Anran didn't pay attention to these but went straight to Bai Yan's house.

"...I can't accept your help for nothing. I can't repay the money right now, but I can work for you to pay for it. No matter what you need, I can help you."

Bai Yan couldn't help frowning. He had run out of patience with this chattering woman who had neither rules nor eyesight and just wanted her to leave quickly.

"No, it's just for your sister's sake. I don't need you to do anything for me."

Hearing this, Qiao Anran's expression froze on her face, and then she looked like she had been greatly insulted, "I was wrong about you! It turns out that you also like him, thinking that a little stinky money would be able to make you superior! Can money be used to measure people's lives in your eyes? People like you will never understand what emotion is!" After speaking, she ran away very aggrieved.

Bai Yan: "?"

What the hell? Are you crazy!

It has to be said that looking at the same thing in different moods will have different feelings. In the original novel, Bai Yan was not threatened by the god of death. When they met Qiao Anran, their mentality was relaxed and casual, and their feelings for Qiao Anran changed from guilt at the beginning to love. Hearing her remarks under the circumstances, you will feel that she is kind, upright, and a little silly and cute.

But now, because of the experience of death, they are disgusted by the instinctive behavior of this set of ghosts, and they can't even like Qiao Anran. Therefore, when I heard her words at this time, there were only four words in their heart – you f*cking retarded woman!

After Qiao Anran left, Bai Yan received news from the god of death again.

"Congratulations, the task is completed. The shares held by each person are Bai Yan, Qiu Rin , and An He in descending order. Therefore, An He will be eliminated."

"The third round: Acquire the An Group and win the sincerity of Qiao Anran."

The results this time were not surprising, and they were already prepared.

And this mission to acquire An's Group is not surprising. After all, the god of death said from the beginning that only one person could survive, and that person who survives will inevitably annex other people's industries. What's surprising is that the latter mission is to win the sincerity of Qiao Anran. What does this mean?

At the beginning, Qiao Wenqing committed suicide because of their love game and couldn't bear it, and now she uses the same method for them to pursue her sister. It was difficult for people to doubt the relationship between the two.

But this task made them confused again. If this person wanted to avenge Qiao Wenqing, why did they pull Qiao Wenqing's sister into the water? But if not, how could it be so coincidental for them to play a love game?

Chapter 133: The Protagonist Has A Black Bag Group [6]

When Bai Yan chased him out, Qiao Anran hadn't left the gate of Qiao's house.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing his voice, Qiao Anran turned her head suddenly, with anger still on her face, "What? Do you still want to use your stinky money to insult me!"

Hearing this, Bai Yan's heart twitched, but he said sincerely, "Sorry, I said something wrong just now, and I apologize to you."

Qiao Anran didn't expect him to come out after him to apologize, and she felt a little embarrassed by saying such words indiscriminately.

"I didn't look down on you, and I didn't mean to insult you with money. I should give the money. I once did something wrong to your sister. I felt guilty for her and always wanted to help her family. Your appearance gave me such an opportunity, and I just want to help you. There is no other meaning."

What Bai Yan said was sincere, beautiful eyes drooped, and emotions such as pain, self-blame, and guilt flashed in it, making Qiao Anran see it seriously. Qiao Anran didn't doubt that he told the truth, and the expression on her face gradually softened. She naturally knew what he was talking about. Although she hated these people very much when she knew the truth, seeing Bai Yan at this moment made her guilty, and she was a little soft-hearted. At that time, he was still a child of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he was at fault, when he was young and ignorant, he had to bear life, the pressure in his heart must have been great, right?

"No need, whether it's out of guilt or compensation, people can't be resurrected after death, and no amount of money can buy back my sister's life. I don't want our family to live on my sister's hard-working money. Yours, I will save money to pay you back. You don't have to worry about it."

Bai Yan seemed helpless and said, "You are really too stubborn. I don't know what to do. How about this, didn't you just say you want to help me? It just so happens that my assistant is on leave so that you can help me for a while. How is it?"

Qiao Anran was a little moved. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about the huge debt. After thinking for a while, Qiao Anran nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Only then did Bai Yan heave a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face, "That's really great."

Of course, it's good, he keeps people by his side and confines him to Qiao's family as much as possible. Qiu Rin can't even see her, how can he win her sincerity? And if he gets along with her day and night, wouldn't the long-term love kill two birds with one stone?

It has to be said that this tactic was extremely effective. Qiu Rin hadn't found Qiao Anran for half a month, so he knew it was Bai Yan who got there first.

This was not good, he was no match for Bai Yan in business, and has already fallen behind. He can't even complete this task.

So, Qiu Lin took an opportunity to bring Qiao Anran out for a showdown.

"Want to know why he is so nice to you?" Qiu Lin slowly sipped his coffee, and when Qiao Anran ran out of patience, he spoke leisurely.

Qiao Anran was taken aback for a moment, then stopped the action of getting ready to take the bag and leave, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

During this period of time, Bai Yan was indeed very kind to her, asking her about her health and caring for her. She only mentioned the food she liked once, and he remembered it clearly. He arranged for his aunt to cook it for her every day, and sometimes he even cooked it himself. He also kept her favorite brand in mind, and yesterday gave her a dress that she had been looking at the counter for a long time but was not willing to buy. No matter what she was doing, as long as she turned her head, she could see his gentle and jade-like figure, as if he was always guarding her behind...

So, she actually knows why Bai Yan treats her so well, there is no other reason, it can only be that he likes her.

However, Qiu Lin shook his head, "No, it's not that he likes you. Do you still remember his attitude towards you at the beginning? Did he treat you with respect? He didn't want to see you at all! Then he suddenly changed into a different person."

Qiao Anran followed his words and thought about it, it was true.

Qiu Lin curled his lips into a smile, and his smile was a bit sinister, "That's because he blocked me. Whoever gets your sincerity first will win the bet. The bet is not small."

Qiao Anran was taken aback, "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true?"

Qiao Anran's face flushed instantly, and she didn't know whether it was from anger or shame, but she didn't expect that Bai Yan's kindness to her had a purpose! "Then why are you telling me?"

Qiu Lin 's face slowly faded away, and he said with disappointment, "When I was young and ignorant, I made a mistake once, and I don't want to make another mistake this time."

Qiao Anran believed it, because the regret and self-blame in his eyes could not be faked, and one would only know regret after losing it. Perhaps the death of his sister was a heavy blow to him.

Thinking that Bai Yan approached her only for a bet, he felt unspeakably aggrieved. Unexpectedly, she also experienced what happened to her sister.

Now that she knows that Bai Yan's kindness to her is for other purposes, she can't go back to Qiao's house. And Qiu Lin's frankness made her feel that this person was reliable. At least he didn't lie to herself, so she followed Qiu Lin to Qiu's house.

Qiu Lin told her the truth of the matter clearly so that she would not be kept in the dark. He also told her very clearly that she was not the type he liked, and he would not treat her against her will just for a bet with others, so it let her rest assured.

But in the process of getting along day and night, a gentle, handsome, and rich man, the invisible charm and inadvertent caring are the most deadly. It's understandable that Qiao Anran couldn't resist.

So at the end of the third round of the mission, Qiu Lin and Bai Yan won and lost, respectively, and Bai Yan took the majority of the An family's shares, but Qiao Anran fell in love with Qiu Lin.

Here to talk about the An family. Mr. An is indeed an old fox. As early as when the Qiu, Bai, and An families jointly acquired the Xi family, Mr. An already had a premonition that it would be their turn to settle down next, so he secretly did something. A part of the property under the name of An's Group was quietly transferred.

Even if the business in the country goes bankrupt, they can still make a comeback with these funds, and they will not be too desperate.

Wen Qing turned a blind eye to this, and An He was one of the rare ones with a conscience among the four. He was pulled over to make up the numbers when he participated in their game, but he didn't expect such consequences. Now that he has paid the price for his actions, she must also chase him down.

Qiu Baiyan and the other two are the worst...

"You two have failed your missions and will be eliminated."

Chapter 134: The Protagonist Has A Black Bag Group [7]

"You both failed the task and are eliminated."

Hearing this news, Qiu Rin and Bai Yan were dumbfounded. Wasn't it supposed to be only one person surviving in the end? Wasn't it assumed that someone would survive? What did it mean to be eliminated?

They were originally thinking that no matter what, one of them would survive, so they fought to a draw. This way, perhaps they could both escape, or at least have a tiebreak match to delay for a bit of time. However, they never expected that the Grim Reaper would not follow the script at all!

Despite this, they still felt lucky, as the Grim Reaper had never appeared throughout the whole process. From the elimination of the Xi's at the start, to the bankruptcy of the An family, the Grim Reaper had only used some very methods to force them to fight each other, and had never actually appeared to do anything, making them feel that the Grim Reaper only had those methods.

Now that both Qiu and Bai are out, who else could take their place to face these two major families?

However, reality gave them another slap in the face, Wen Qing had not even appeared, and someone else had done this for her.

He Chuang, who was ambushed by the four big families ten years ago, causing his company to go bankrupt and his parents to commit suicide, has now returned as a king, avenging them and reclaiming everything that belongs to him.

With the help of Wen Qing, he quickly seized the properties of the Qiu and Bai families with great force, and the two large groups changed masters at once. The four great families that once shone brightly were now obliterated and became history.

Qiu Rin and Bai Yan, one of whom had a mental breakdown and the other was expelled from the family, disappeared forever. Qiao Anran, who witnessed all this, sadly returned to her own city after she had lost her reliance. The money Bai Yan once gave her, which was used for her mother's medical expenses, was almost gone, and their family returned to the "proletariat" living standard.

After getting used to spending money lavishly and buying whatever she liked, Qiao Anran found it hard to adjust to this impoverished lifestyle. If she hadn't experienced a life of luxury, and seen the lavishness of both Qiu and Bai's families, how could she have calmly lived an ordinary life?

She was beautiful, and despite her peculiar way of thinking, she still had admirers. She picked one of the wealthiest second-generation rich men to date. He was good to her and spent a lot of money on her, but their relationship didn't last long because his family went bankrupt.

She moved on to a rich son of an official. By the second week of their relationship, his father was arrested for corruption. Qiao Anran had earned the nickname "The Terminator" for bringing ill luck to whoever she was with, whether it was bankruptcy or arrest. After her reputation spread, everyone avoided her and she no longer had the chance to date someone wealthy.

Wen Qing said that she had broken her heart in order to make her younger sister self-reliant.

Sitting opposite each other in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, Wen Qing stirred her coffee while looking down on the small buildings below. Without raising her head, she said, "What does it feel like to have the world at your feet?"

The person sitting opposite her was He Chuang, the new owner of the building. The young man had a handsome face and a deep, sorrowful gaze. Despite his young age, his eyes revealed the depth of his experience.

He fixed his gaze on Wen Qing and heard her question, then thought for a moment before saying, "Yes."

It was better to trample others than to be trampled. He would never forget those days of desperation, nor the day she came, softly smiling and asking him, "Want to take revenge?"

From that moment on, his life was on a different path. Now, he stood at the highest point in the city and overlooked the crowd, as if he could reach out and pluck the stars. But most importantly, she was beside him.

Wen Qing put down her coffee cup, smiled lightly, and said, "Then that's good. Your wish is fulfilled and my business is done. Let's say goodbye."

He Chuang was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

Wen Qing smiled slightly, "Going back to where I belong."

Upon returning to the endless space, Wen Qing felt like she had gone on a leisurely vacation, without any effort put in. She had only threatened and intimidated in the shadows and still managed to achieve her goals. Even the fact that the female protagonist had no golden finger didn't affect her good mood.

Putting the black bag group back into the endless void, and refining the power of this merit, Wen Qing waited quietly for the arrival of the next client.

"...My life has been very reckless. I was young and ignorant and fell in love early, drank alcohol, skipped classes, and dropped out of school early to live in society. Later, I took advantage of my youth and beauty and wandered around different men, not learning any skills, and wasting time. When my youth was exhausted and beauty was gone, it was too late to turn back..."

"However, Heaven has not been unkind to me. Even though I am in a quagmire, I still have the most precious treasure in the world! The pride of my life is my son! He is very good, smarter and more sensible than other children since he was a child. When I am busy, he can stay quietly for a whole day without crying or making trouble."

"He always got first place in school and got a scholarship every year. The first time he got a scholarship, he bought me a pair of gloves and said, "Mom, look, I can make money now, and you won't have to work so hard anymore." Such a small child being so sensible was heartbreaking!"

"I didn't give him a complete family or even a comfortable life, and he had to worry about making a living at such a young age. I'm not a competent mother, but he is the best child in the world. I wanted to give him all the love and the best things in the world, but I ended up hurting him, I hurt him…"

The client said this and was almost unable to speak, and was close to fainting, unable to control her emotions. Wen Qing let her take a nap to ease her mind, and she used this time to look into the client's life.

The client was named Han Wenqing, born in a relatively chaotic slum. Her father was a bad gambler and a drunk who owed a lot of debt and beat his wife when he was drunk. Her mother was timid and never resisted her father. Han Wenqing's childhood was spent dodging creditors and her father's beatings.

Later, her mother was pushed down by her drunk father and died after hitting her head on the corner of the wall. At that time, Han Wenqing was just ten years old and witnessed the tragedy with her own eyes. Rebellion began from this moment.

During middle school, she fought, had a premature relationship, and drank a lot. She did everything that the school didn't allow her to do, so she was eventually expelled from the school and wandered in society.

At the age of seventeen, her father owed a lot of debt and was about to sell her to pay it off, but she heard the news beforehand and escaped. Without money to pay off the debt, her father was beaten to death.

She was all alone, living day by day, drinking and partying, and doing whatever it took to make ends meet. Because she was young and beautiful, she was able to make a lot of money. But beauty fades, and after her youth was gone, she was left with nothing.

At this point, she finally realized her mistake and regretted her past foolishness. She decided to turn her life around and start anew. At the same time, she found out she was pregnant, but the father of the child was unknown. She thought she would have to live her life alone, but didn't expect to have a child. It made her extremely happy. She felt that it was a gift from heaven.

Chapter 135: Superstar Cultivation System [1]

She went away and started a new life anonymously in a strange city, doing menial tasks like washing dishes, serving food and even cleaning toilets. Without any qualifications or special skills, she could only do these dirty and tiring jobs.

But no matter how dirty or tired she became, as long as she thought of her adorable child waiting for her at home, she was full of motivation and hope and kept going.

Her son Han Junqing was indeed very excellent, sensible and filial, and he inherited all her advantages in appearance. In order to save tuition fees, he skipped two grades in elementary school and became the provincial champion in college entrance examination, which gave her a lot of face. In front of outsiders, he would never avoid mentioning his mother's identity as a cleaner. Han Wenqing herself felt ashamed of it, but Han Junqing always openly told others that she was his mother.

Han Junqing, who studied in college, majored in acting and minored in music, just because he once heard that being a celebrity is the most profitable profession. His family's poverty made him grow up early, and the sixteen-year-old boy already understood the importance of money when most of his peers were still under their parents' wings and didn't know suffering.

Han Junqing had excellent physical condition, good grades and was intelligent and hardworking. Such a person shouldn't have failed, although it was a tough journey due to his refusal to follow the unwritten rules and lack of background. He achieved some success in the end. He bought a house for his mother with the money he earned, so she could quit her job and enjoy a comfortable life.

However, there were always people who envied and hated him. No one could find any fault in his well-regulated private life, so they dug up his mother's past.

Father's background was unknown and the mother was a former hostess... That alone was enough to send him to hell. He hadn't even established himself in the entertainment industry yet and there were plenty of people ready to throw stones at him. Han Junqing was inevitably banned.

Seeing her dejected and downcast son, Han Wenqing's heart ached, filled with regret and self-loathing, regretting her foolishness when she was young and feeling guilty for dragging her son into it. In her agitation, she fainted and was taken to the hospital for an examination. It was discovered that she had late-stage liver cancer...

"I regret it, I've dragged my son down, I named him Junqing after a noble ideal of 'cleansing oneself', yet never imagined he would have such a dirty mother. I'm so sorry for him..."

Han Wenqing finally calmed down a bit but her emotions were stirred up again. Wen Qing quickly asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I want nothing. I just want you to help him. He loves music and acting so much, he shouldn't be held back by me. He should have a better future. Please, fulfill his wishes!"

Wen Qing sighed and brushed her face gently with her hand, putting her to sleep again.

Little Phoenix trotted over and sneakily looked at her expression, tentatively asking, "Can I go this time?"

Wen Qing was amused by his appearance and the melancholy from before vanished. She tapped his forehead and said, "Stay here."

Little Phoenix suddenly collapsed, his whole body softening and falling to the ground. His small wings quietly held up a paper card in front of her, on which was written: "This Phoenix has passed away, paying tribute with paper."

Wen Qing was so amused to see this, she didn't expect Little Phoenix to be using this kind of way to act cute now, she has made progress!

But she still couldn't take him with her, one being that this was the modern world again, and two, she wasn't planning on bringing a spatial-type golden finger this time, so that was out of the question.

In this world, Han Wenqing was not even a female side character, she was merely a cannon fodder. And the female protagonist of this world was called Gu Nian, a little princess from the prestigious Gu family of the capital city.

Two people who had no connection with each other, why was Han Wenqing the cannon fodder? The cliché plot of the real daughter being mistaken for a fake one, Han Wenqing was the real daughter who had been away from home all this time, and the one they have been looking for.

Gu Nian was the fake daughter who became a princess, and she was also time-traveling. As an orphan in the previous life, she was not only reborn into a wealthy family in this life, but also got to receive the love of her grandparents, father, mother and elder brothers. This made her grateful, and she cherished her happy life now.

Later, she also developed feelings for her elder brother. Although she knew she was not his real sister, the blood relationship between them cannot be broken. When she was in pain and confusion, she suddenly found out that she was not the Gu family's daughter. That's great, there's no blood relationship between them anymore. In the end, it was a happy ending for the family, and the Gu family sent people to look for their real daughter, but due to the long passage of time, they couldn't find any clues.

Wen Qing didn't care about the Gu family and Gu Nian. Han Wenqing's only obsession was her son, so she was going to help him. As for how she was going to help him, Wen Qing already had an idea.

In the dark room, a young man was curled up on the sofa. His eyes were sunken, his lips were cracked, and his cheeks had an abnormal redness. He tightly held a picture frame in his hands. In the frame was a kind and beautiful middle-aged woman, smiling very happily at the camera. The man had tightly closed his eyes and murmured in his sleep, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom..."

The man was Han Junqing. This was the second day after Han Wenqing's death.

After going through the public opinion turmoil and the company's cover-up, when his career hit rock bottom, coupled with his mother's passing away, Han Junqing was overwhelmed and eventually fell ill.

Moreover, he always felt that he was partly responsible for his mother's death. When he heard about his mother's past, he found it difficult to accept. After all, his mother taught him since childhood to be honest and upright, to be accountable to the world, and to be worthy of his conscience. He had been strictly demanding of himself in accordance with what she said.

His mother raised him to be a righteous gentleman, so he always saw his mother in this way. He felt that although they were poor, they could still sit upright, free from guilt. However, he never expected his mother to have such a past. He would not begrudge his mother, but the contrast was too great for him to accept.

With just a moment of distraction, his mother fell ill. Although it turned out to be late-stage liver cancer, he felt that if he hadn't stimulated her, she might not have fallen ill so quickly and left him.

Guilt and regret made him also fall ill quickly. Ever since he was banned by the company, he lived alone, without an assistant or a manager, and no one took care of him when he was unconscious.

[Ding! A suitable host has been found. Do you want to bind the superstar cultivation system?]

In the empty room, a cold female voice suddenly sounded, but there was no one in the room.

[...3, 2, 1, the host is bound by default. The superstar cultivation system is being bound. ]

[Binding successful! System scanning data.]

[Name: Han Junqing

Gender: Male

Age: Nineteen

Superstar Potential: SSS

Acting: C-

Singing: B+

Dancing: C

Special Skills: Calligraphy (Elementary)

Fans Value: 35798

Points: 0

Superstar Task Completion Progress: 0]

[Main Task One...]

The noisy voice in his head made Han Junqing wake up slowly, rubbing his swollen and painful head. He must be too tired as he was hearing things.

[Daily Task: Pull open the curtains, tidy up the room, make a delicious lunch for yourself. 10 points.]

The cold female voice continued, Han Junqing suddenly sat up from the sofa, "Who is it?"

[Hello, I am System Manager 001, the Superstar Cultivation System is dedicated to serving you.]

Han Junqing: "?"

[This is a professional system application for creating a super star, as long as you complete the tasks issued by the system, you will be a superstar!]

Wen Qing was trying her best to flatter. Yes, Wen Qing. This time she disguised herself as the system manager to help the client complete the task. The system was the male god strategy system that she previously snatched from Sura, and she used it as a superstar cultivation system. She herself occupied the position of system manager.

Han Junqing had been through so much in his life that it was hard for him to trust outsiders. If she suddenly appeared, it would not be easy to gain Han Junqing's trust. How convenient would it be to have a system to help him?

A secret that only he knew belonged to him alone made it easy for Han Junqing to open up his heart. It didn't matter in what form she appeared, as long as she could help him fulfill his dream of becoming a celebrity.

Besides, she was bored doing the same tasks over and over again, so she wanted to find something fun for herself.

Han Junqing hesitantly opened the system interface as instructed by Wenqing. A transparent screen appeared in front of him showing his physical data. When he swiped right, he could see the system backpack, which was a nine-square grid, with the last eight grids empty and only the first grid containing a newbie gift box….

Han Junqing finally believed that the system was real, not someone's prank.

He also thought to himself that he was now a lonely person, who would prank him?

Han Junqing sarcastically laughed but thinking of his mother's death, he was no longer as enthusiastic about getting the system.

[Sorrowfully, could your mother have lived? If you really miss her, then do what she most expected.]

Han Junqing was both shocked and angry, "Can you peek at my thoughts?!"

Of course…. No! I just collected all the information about you since you were a child and made reasonable assumptions.

Han Junqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered the question he asked his mother when he was a child.

"Mom, what is your wish?"

"Mom's wish is for all of Qing Qing's wishes to come true. What is Qing Qing's wish?"

"My wish is to grow up and become a superstar, make lots and lots of money, and build a big house for you!"

"Ok, ok, ok, Mom is waiting for that day."

Chapter 136: Superstar Cultivation System [2]

Once a person has a goal, they will quickly cheer up. Han Junqing opened the curtains according to the system's requirements, cleaned the room, made himself a lunch, took a shower, tidied himself up, and the previously demoralized and dispirited appearance completely disappeared, and he was back to his usual sunny and handsome appearance.

[Ding! Task completed, points +10.]

Han Junqing was still not used to having a system in his head. Apart from studying and doing odd jobs to make money, he didn't have time to come into contact with what his peers liked, such as cultivating games and system novels. Now suddenly there is something that claims to be a superstar cultivation system. He even suspected that he had split personality, a figment of his imagination.

[Don't doubt it, time will prove that this system is not deceiving! Now, open your newbie gift box, the system gives you luck, may you get something good!]

Han Junqing still had some doubts, but still opened the newbie gift box as the system said.

[Ding! Congratulations, the host has obtained RMB x 2w.]

Han Junqing stared at the nine-square grid, and the newbie gift box disappeared, replaced by a stack of banknotes. He subconsciously reached out and felt his right hand sink, and two bundles of banknotes suddenly appeared in his hand, and the nine-square grid was already empty.

Han Junqing couldn't believe it, "Is this, is this real?"

Han Junqing was really a novice in these aspects, had he read some system novels, he wouldn't have been so surprised. Maybe he would even complain that the system was only giving out items like soul-washing pills and beauty pills, how come it only gave him twenty thousand yuan? But it was precisely because he was a novice that Wen Qing was able to fool him.

[Surprised? This system has broken the norm and opened the backdoor for you, giving you what you need the most right now!]

Han Junqing was a bit embarrassed. He was now indeed short of money, he had yet to graduate, having only acted in two plays and not making much money. All his mother's medical expenses had been spent, leaving only a few hundred yuan in his pocket. After spending it, he'd have to go back to doing odd jobs. He didn't expect that the system would give him some money, relieving his urgent need.

"Thank you, I'll pay you back this money."

Wen Qing was speechless. What a silly kid, how can the host be so serious with the system, wanting to pay them back even after receiving money. Look at the other protagonists, the system accepts everything as it should be, even bargaining with the system, it won't work if it's too little. Don't even bother to think about it, can you eat the cake that falls from the sky freely?

[It's up to you. It's nothing when you become a superstar. The system suggests you to get prepared to handle all those elites in the company and estimate that the enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds.]

Han Junqing was stunned and quickly asked, "Can you be more specific?"

[Since you can't bring them any benefits, some people will be unhappy if you continue to occupy such a good house.]

Han Junqing finally understood that the company had sent someone to take back the dormitory. He had previously listened to the agent and stayed in the dormitory arranged by the company, because he couldn't afford to buy a house with extremely high security measures with his finances. The security at the place arranged by the company was very good, so there was no need to worry about paparazzi coming in. Moreover, the agent had great expectations of him and strongly recommended him to apply for the best apartment, which made many people jealous, but no one dared to say anything because of his agent Yang Song. Now Yang Song has also given up on him, so the people who wanted to take advantage of the situation have come.

[Secondary Task: Terminate the contract with the company. 50 points.]

Han Junqing suddenly understood the system's intention. The company had buried him, waiting until they remembered him who didn't know when, without the company's public relations mediation, the "stain" on his body couldn't be washed off, and he had no value. Without any value, the company wouldn't use him, and this put him in a deadlock.

Although he himself does not consider those to be stains, the netizens pouring dirty water to his name cannot be avoided. Taking this opportunity to propose a termination and finding another way out is also a good idea.

Having made up his mind, Han Junqing was prepared and waiting for someone from the company to arrive.

"...Let me say, Han Junqing, you won't be able to clear your name in this lifetime, you can only pray for a better rebirth in the next life. The company has no choice but to abandon you, considering how they treated you decently before. You should just pack up your things and go peacefully. It won't do anyone any good to drag things out, the company still has a new person waiting, you can't just occupy the house and not move out for them to stay..."

Han Junqing, who had already anticipated this outcome, was unfazed and said calmly, "Since I am a part of the company, I have the right to stay here. It's the company's decision to hide me, and I have nothing to say about that. But why should I move out when the company is obligated to take care of me?"

The visitor had already checked Han Junqing's financial status and knew he was penniless now. He had anticipated he wouldn't want to move out and become homeless, so he said with a smile, "There's nothing else we can do. You didn't listen when we talked to you nicely, so now we have to use force. You'd better think it through. If you stay here, people will come every day to cause trouble until you break down and move out!"

Han Junqing smiled too and said, "Come if you will. If anyone dares to come, I'll commit suicide here and stream it live, saying it's the company that forced me to do it. I'm already all alone, so I'm not afraid."

He had a composed face, but there was a crazy look in his eyes, which really scared the person opposite. As the saying goes, it's the menacing ones that don't care about their lives, and Han Junqing was definitely one of those at the moment.

The situation was a stalemate, and no one dared to confront him head-on, afraid that he would be forced into a corner. But this couldn't go on, since orders had been given before arrival to expel Han Junqing. Just when the people around were at a loss, Han Junqing spoke again, "It's not impossible for me to go, if I'm not a part of the company, then naturally I can't stay here anymore."

Eh? That makes sense!

Han Junqing stopped there and said nothing more. The company knew his attitude, and naturally would give it some thought. Should they keep him like a ticking time bomb, or should they just end the contract with him?

Of course the answer is the latter. He is now threatening to not move out of the house with death, who knows tomorrow he can threaten them to make him a superstar, what kind of head is this? In addition, the people in the company thought that Han Junqing may have had a mental problem under this series of blows! So they readily agreed to terminate the contract.

[Ding! Task completed, points +50.]

Han Junqing tidied up his luggage while asking, "What are these points used for?"

[The points can be used to buy things from the system's mall. There are all kinds of performing props, such as Pear Blossom Drizzle and Voice Exhaustion, that can be exchanged as long as you don't master them. In addition, there are singing skills such as Heavenly Voice, Soulful Voice, and many other skills such as playing instruments, painting, calligraphy, and poetry….]

"Wait, wait, you said performance can be exchanged? Isn't that something anyone can do?" Han Junqing was a bit incredulous.

[Theoretically, yes.]

"So these performances are all standardized, is there still any real emotion? The most moving part of the performance is the actor's real emotion, if there is no soul, no matter how realistic the performance is, it is just a performance, right?"

[Although this is true, it is still you who are performing. With the proper actions and expressions in place, can't you just incorporate your own feelings?]

Seems okay?

Having successfully tricked Han Junqing, Wen Qing issued another task.

[Secondary Task: Go to No. 18 Dongping Street and rent a room from the Li couple. 10 points.]

Han Junqing: "?"

[System has selected the most suitable and cost-effective housing for you.]

Han Junqing: "I don't know if you can make me a superstar, but it's still a useful life assistant."

Hehe.

Chapter 137: Superstar Cultivation System [3]

"Wow, what a coincidence! Our son is taking us abroad for two years and we were worried about who would take care of the plants in our house. If you help us take care of them, we won't charge you for rent…"

Dongping Street Community had a great location and tranquil environment, which made it a gathering area for the wealthy in this city. Many celebrities have bought houses here. The security measures were great, so it's impossible for anyone other than the owners to enter. Moreover, it was very protective of the owners' privacy. Han Junqing was very satisfied to live here. Not to mention the landlord couple were very nice. They didn't even charge him rent, and only asked him to take care of the flowers and plants in the house.

Han Junqing sighed, "Now I really believe you have some skills!" Although this skill to collect information, without knowing how powerful it was, could not be immediately trusted.

[There's nothing in this world that I don't know. From now on, you will have plenty of opportunities to revere me! Begin your adventure now!]

Speaking of business, Han Junqing also became serious. He wanted to act not only to fulfill his mother's expectations, but also because he really liked acting. He liked to act out joys and sorrows, happiness and anger, and to set himself free. This feeling was fascinating.

[You have only acted in two dramas so far. Despite the positive reception of your two dramas and the recognition they have brought you, the voices of those opposing you have not diminished. Rather than endure this irrational opposition, it might be best to pursue a different path and use music to shift the tide in your favor.]

[Main Task: Produce a high quality song with a system score of 80 or higher. 1000 points.]

Her analysis was correct. Han Junqing also knew what his situation was at the moment, so he agreed without hesitation. Although he was wary of the system that had suddenly descended upon him. But through these few days of getting along with it, he could feel that the system was actually planning for him. Since he had nothing to start with, he had nothing to worry about.

So, he began a life of immersing himself in creation. He wasn't lacking in talent and had musical aptitude. He wrote lyrics and composed himself. When he was inspired, he could write several songs in a day, but none of them met Wen Qing's requirements.

[Remake of a classic song is not good for development, but!]

[The lyrics are mediocre and there are no highlights, but!]

[The words are good and the tune is too slow, but!]

...

[It must be so stunning that people can hear it at once, and it can be sung as a classic forever. It should be pleasing to the ears and preferably so sad that listeners shed tears, making it unforgettable…]

When Han Junqing heard this, he didn't immediately rush to compose the next piece. Instead, he fell into deep thought, reflecting on his past mistakes. After spending half a day in contemplation, he suddenly burst into the room, fell onto the desk and began writing. This time he wrote without any stagnation, and the words and melody flowed together with ease. Wen Qing, upon scanning it, knew why.

He wrote this time about his mother. He wrote about the sorrow of relying on his mother in his childhood, the simple happiness between mother and son, his mother's devotion to him, her white hair, and her waist bent by life - all without a single word about missing her, yet full of attachment and reluctance. Even Wen Qing was moved by the true feelings expressed in the song.

After he sang it once, Wen Qing immediately decided. [OK, this one].

No score was given to this song since it wasn't possible to quantify its emotions.

The song drained away all of Han Junqing's energy. After Wen Qing informed him that he had passed the test, he fell into a deep sleep. He slept for two days and two nights before he finally woke up.

While he was asleep, Wen Qing didn't stay idle. She immediately took the version that he had auditioned and crafted music for it in the system. She believed that even if Han Junqing sang it himself, it still wouldn't surpass this version.

Once everything was done, Wen Qing uploaded it to a music platform.

She knew that it would take a long time for it to gain traction and be discovered by talent scouts. Therefore, Wen Qing decided to use a few tricks to promote it to the well-known musician, Lin Zhiqiao.

For Wen Qing, the biggest use of this system was its hacker-like capabilities. As long as there was a network, there was no place it could not invade! It was like weaving a net, covering all places.

So, when Lin Zhiqiao was listening to music, she randomly played Han Junqing's song. She believed that anyone who had heard this song would be touched by it.

Lin Zhiqiao was a very important figure in the Chinese music industry. He loved to find talented new singers to add fresh blood to the industry. Wen Qing believed that he would appreciate and notice this song. As long as he recommended it, it would surely get the attention it deserved.

Lin Zhiqiao's favorite pastime was to relax on the balcony in the afternoon, eyes half-closed as he bathed in the sun's warmth while listening to music. This feeling of enjoying his two favorite activities was simply incomparable.

In his spare time, he would search for new songs and compile them into playlists to listen to. Whenever he encountered a song with particularly good quality, he would not hesitate to praise it. He had experienced the struggles of underground singers and thus could comprehend their quiet yet relentless pursuit of their dreams. One by one, he was willing to lend a helping hand.

After a song was finished, Lin Zhiqiao judged it and felt that the lyrics were too exaggerated and the song was superficial. There was nothing that moved him, so he listened to the next one.

As soon as the prelude of the next song came out, Lin Zhiqiao opened his eyes wide. He rarely heard music as invigorating as this - it was simply extraordinary. He only wished that the song would keep up the same level of quality and not be followed by a mediocre sequel.

As the song was slowly played, Lin Zhiqiao's feeling of amazement became increasingly heavy. Even his body sat upright involuntarily and he closed his eyes to listen carefully.

At first, he was attentive, carefully examining the composition technique, singing skills, and lyrics. He noticed the finer points and intricacies. But soon, he was completely immersed in the song and could not focus on anything else.

It was a shocking voice, with a reach, deep enough to penetrate the soul. All emotions could evoke people's resonance. The lyrics were simple, but the melody was breathtaking. Together with the singer's true feelings, the song left Lin Zhiqiao astonished.

After listening to it three times, he still felt unfulfilled. Good music can elevate the soul, like a spiritual delicacy, and give a true feeling of satisfaction. Lin Zhiqiao went to find out who wrote and composed the song, only to find out that the same person wrote, composed, and sang it - Qing Ke.

This wasn't a name familiar to the circle, and so far, only this one work was known. This made Lin Zhiqiao very regretful. Sometimes, one song can give an insight into the character of its author, and Lin Zhiqiao admired Qing Ke because of his song. He even developed a desire to meet with him and communicate.

With this sentiment, he posted a Weibo:

#I'm not recommending this time, but rather sharing with you a song that made me cry three times. "Memories"#

Not only that, but he also sent it to several of his old friends in the circle, strongly recommending the song.

Lin Zhiqiao had previously recommended songs, but not with such earnestness. The songs he recommended were remarkable, every one a real treasure. This was the reason why his fans put so much trust in his recommendations.

Usually, upon publishing, his comment sections would be bustling with activity. Fans would listen and share their listening experiences in real time. However, this time, after he published; five minutes passed without anyone commenting. It wasn't until the time for two songs to loop had been passed that comments started appearing.

"Among three repeats, I came to comment with tears in my eyes. The voice is so pleasant, so healing!"

"It really struck a chord with me. I was bawling by the end."

"Mom asked me why I was kneeling and crying..."

"It's so good! This voice is so pleasing to the ears."

"I am studying abroad, I suddenly missed my mom. I went onto Weibo and called her."

"It has been three years since my mom passed away. Even though I thought I had moved on, hearing this song brought tears to my eyes. I can understand the emotion of this song."

"All I want to say is 一 Mom! You have worked hard."

"My nose is sore, and my heart feels panic."

...

So many people have heard this song and their eyes have become red. Tears were streaming down their faces. Even if their mothers were still alive with no regrets, they could still be moved by the true feelings in the song.

The fans were moved and then recommended it to others. Within a few days, everyone was aware of the song "Memories". It became the most popular song of the week with the highest download volume on Fengyun Music.

The song "Memories" was on fire, yet its author remained a mystery. Lin Zhiqiao shouted on air to communicate with him, but he could not get a response. Many people speculated that the author was too ugly to come out and meet people.

"Qing Ke, don't be afraid. We like your voice and your talent. No matter how good-looking or ugly you are, we all like you!"

"Those who say you are ugly may be jealous of your talents. Don't mind them. Write better songs to slap them in the face. Qing fans will always support you!"

"No one is perfect. Your voice is so good, and you have such a gifted talent. If you were also handsome, how would you let others live?"

…

Han Junqing saw those people comforting him and couldn't help but laugh and cry. He wanted to explain, but Wen Qing didn't let him.

[It's not time yet. You have to hold your breath.]

[Ding! Task completed, points +1000.]

[Main Task: Improve acting skills to C+.]

"Improving acting requires constant exploration and accumulating experience in acting, and you won't let me go to the set..."

[System offers acting classes. 'Acting for Beginners' class requires 1000 points. Do you want to purchase it?]

Han Junqing laughed, "I just earned 1000 points, and you want to take them all away. Go ahead. After all, they were given by you in the first place. Take them back if you want." He then opened the system panel and bought the 'Acting for Beginners' class, which cost him 1000 points.

[System gives you the task rewards, and the mall earns your points. I'm your system manager. Although we both belong to the same system, we have different factions. I don't want your points!]

After Wen Qing finished speaking, she pulled Han Junqing's consciousness into the internal space of the system, which had been simulated into an acting class mode.

Han Junqing stared blankly for a long time before finally returning to his senses. From then on, he truly believed that the system had more than 'some skills'. This was simply the black technology of aliens!

Chapter 138: Superstar Cultivation System [4]

System's acting class used holographic projection mode to bring together the acting styles of ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign countries, and even the future. Participants had the opportunity to engage in deep conversations with those who wanted to learn acting. The class could even simulate the direct teaching of oneself. Furthermore, it allowed various actors to perform live with the same expression and action, giving participants the chance to observe their subtle techniques more clearly.

After the class, Han Junqing felt that his eyes were not enough and the whole process was dry. He couldn't take notes, he could only remember it in his head. After coming out, he rushed to make notes and stayed up all night without sleeping for fear of missing something.

When dawn came, looking at the full half notebook, he finally put down the pen with satisfaction. He stretched his waist and prepared to take a nap, and then woke up to continue learning. Then he heard his system saying, "Hey? Didn't I tell you? The classes you have already bought can be entered and viewed at any time."

Han Junqing: "..." So why did you watch me staying up all night and writing with great effort?

[Daily Task: Go for a half-hour jog in the community park every morning at six o'clock. A good actor must have a good body. Having eight-pack abs and mermaid lines is essential. Come on, boy!]

Han Junqing hesitated, not because he didn't want to run, but because he didn't want to confront the people outside. He was well aware that the people living in this community were wealthy and there were several big names in the circle. He was a poor boy with no power and no background who had to rent a house to live here. No matter how you look at it, he was out of place here.

"It's already inappropriate to live here. It's not good to go out for exercise, right? It will give the impression that I want to get in touch with them, and it's not good."

[Don't think too highly of yourself, maybe no one knows you.]

That's right! He was a nobody, and he hadn't made a name for himself in the circle yet he was already buried. Who would know him? Thinking of this, Han Junqing walked out without pressure. He went out on time at 6 o'clock every day, jogged around the park for a few laps, then did some stretching exercises, and returned home to eat at half past six.

As he spent more time in the circle, he encountered a few familiar faces who all shared a love for morning exercises. Despite being strangers at first, gradually they became acquainted with each other and began to nod or greet one another in passing.

Then one day, a familiar middle-aged uncle called him, "Are you an actor? I have a drama that needs a male lead. Are you interested?"

Hit by a huge surprise, Han Junqing returned home in a daze. The first thing he did was to ask Wen Qing, "System manager, did I hear it wrong? That person said he was the screenwriter Darcy, and asked me to be the male lead in his next drama? Is it true? Is it true?"

[Calm down, boy! This is only the beginning of your journey to conquer the stars!]

"I'm so excited! Darcy is a well-known genius screenwriter in the industry. He has always been mysterious. No one has ever seen his true face. I didn't expect to meet him here, and he even invited me to act!"

"System manager! You don't know his position in the industry! He has a reputation as a genius! His scripts are all classics, and all actors in the industry want to act in his dramas. But he has a very picky eye and actors that don't fit the character are not casted! Directors have to listen to him! I really feel like I'm dreaming now!" Han Junqing was excited and incoherent, and it was at this moment that he showed a few signs of youthfulness that were usually absent in his calm and composed demeanor.

But after the initial excitement, he gradually calmed down and said, "But what if he knows my reputation among the fans and doesn't agree? What if I don't make it through the audition because he only likes my appearance?"

It's no wonder he was so anxious; he knew this was his only chance to escape his current predicament and not be buried in the system forever, practicing his acting in vain. He had to seize this opportunity!

[It has been a whole month since he first saw you. This time is enough for him to do his due diligence. Do you really think that he would make his decision so easily if he hadn't done his research? Darcy is not impulsive.]

[Don't sell yourself short. You are better than you realize.]

Han Junqing was shocked, gradually calming his anxious heart. He felt strangely moved; the system seemed to always know what to say and when, propelling him forward when he wanted to retreat, and dousing him with cold water when he was getting too excited, keeping him sober and rational. He sometimes felt like the system had the capacity for human thought, feeling and wisdom.

But how is that possible?

"Why are you so nice to me?" No one will be nice to someone without expecting anything in return. The system must be the same way. If it helped him become an international star, what would it get in return? Sometimes, benefits are more reliable than feelings. He would rather believe that the system had something in mind than simply helping him out.

[I thought you wouldn't ask this question. Since you did, let's talk about this system. The system is maintained by energy, just like how humans need to eat when they are hungry. The energy the system needs is not the kind you would think of, such as electricity or solar energy. It requires a kind of merit power, which sounds complex. But all you need to know is that when you do good deeds, the system gets more energy. That's why I will make you an international superstar, so that you will have the fame and money to do even more good deeds, and even inspire your fans to do good deeds. This is a great benefit to both you and the system, and you don't need to worry that it will hurt you.]

Wen Qing explained the truth that the system needed energy. But the merit power was something she wanted for herself. By being honest with Han Junqing, she was able to make him feel at ease, and this was the only explanation she could give.

Han Junqing was silent for a moment, finally showing a smile, "That's good, I was worried that you would ask me to do something bad later. Do you need merit power? Then I will do more good deeds in the future. In fact, I'll do one good deed every day. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! Without you, I would have remained in the dark, never writing the heartfelt song for my mother, and never having the chance to meet the screenwriter Darcy. You've helped me a lot, and I'll help you too!"

Han Junqing said seriously. When Wen Qing saw his serious demeanor, she realized that he was not joking. She felt that he was too serious, yet still appreciated his dedication.

Such a lovely person is rare to see.

Darcy was also a vigorous and decisive person. After receiving a clear response from Han Junqing, he finalized the contract the following day and sent over the script.

This was a historical drama, telling the story of a young emperor, played by Han Junqing. He could be said to be the only protagonist. Darcy must have given much thought before deciding to cast Han Junqing, a relatively inexperienced actor, to take on such a big responsibility.

For this reason, he specially came to Han Junqing's home to explain, "I chose you to play this role because I think you are suitable. Your appearance and personality fit my image of Zhao Heng. I have watched your two previous dramas. Not only did the character design please people, but it was also due to your performance that made it so pleasing. If another person had performed, it wouldn't have had the same effect. You act very well. You were born to eat this bowl of rice. Don't stress!"

After being encouraged by Wen Qing, Han Junqing's confidence rose and being encouraged by Darcy now, the last of his worries faded away. Despite this, he still retained a sense of seriousness when it came to his role. To make sure he was fully prepared, Han Junqing stayed at home and read through the script, which was full of notes and insights. People can't help but admire his efforts when they see it.

[Ding! System rewards character simulation for one hour.]

Character simulation was to put Han Junqing's spiritual energy into the system space and simulate the scenes and characters that would appear in the drama, allowing him to feel the atmosphere firsthand.

Han Junqing was naturally not unwilling. He had never been able to integrate himself into the scene of when the young emperor ascended the throne and the civil and military officials paid homage. Therefore, he wanted to experience it for real. The system's opportunity came just at the right time for him.

The superstar cultivation system of Wen Qing was not like Sura's, which involved exchanging various performance props by completing tasks. It instead provided all training courses to tap into Han Junqing's own potential. Han Junqing also preferred this model. Upon learning about the system mall, he was initially shocked, but he never thought of exchanging anything inside. He felt that acting was a sacred thing and he did not want the mass production of standardized props to ruin it. Therefore, he studied and figured it out on his own.

He stated that if he can't make it to the end, it is due to his inadequate acting ability. Autonomous performance is the most authentic. Even though the emotions stirred up by the prop are intense, it still feels like putting on a mask.

Therefore, he would rather spend 1000 points to attend an acting class in the system, than spend 10 points to buy an exhausted prop.

Wen Qing liked this kind of people who could resist temptation. After all, external things are external. What one learns by oneself is one's own, and no one can take it away. Even if one day the system was no longer there, he would still continue. But if you always rely on system props, what can you retain when the system is gone?

Chapter 139: Superstar Cultivation System [5]

Han Junqing put a lot of thought into this show, going over it again and again from beginning to end. When he was indecisive, he went to the virtual space to simulate and perform the scenes, and then watched from the perspective of an observer to see where the problem was. He repeated this process again and again until he was satisfied.

For this, he already owed tens of thousands of points in the system.

[Hurry up and do tasks to pay off the debt! Otherwise, work hard to gain fans. Increase in fan value will also increase points! One ordinary fan increases 1 point, and a loyal fan increases 10 points. If you can increase tens of thousands of fans, you can pay off the debt!]

"Sigh! It increased as you said, but just dropped one again. If the fans of Qing Ke were also included, I could pay off the debt immediately!"

"Speaking of Qing Ke, do you think I should release another single? The fans have been asking for it for a long time, and I'm embarrassed to pretend I don't see it anymore."

Wen Qing noticed that Han Junqing had a subtle expression of shyness. She felt that he was good, apart from the fact that he was too kind-hearted. As soon as a fan begged him, he couldn't hold on.

[Sure, it's almost ready to be released.]

After Wen Qing finished speaking, he went to arrange the release of the new single. A few days ago, Han Junqing was deeply immersed in the new show, and suddenly inspired. He wrote a song related to the plot. It was very suitable to be used as the opening song. However, Wen Qing suppressed it and did not let him release it. Because Tian Wang just released an album a few days ago, and the timing was not suitable.

Wen Qing deliberately chose a day without famous singers releasing new songs. Moreover, after the song "Memories", Qing Ke's name had already become famous, so she didn't need to use any underhanded tactics to quickly open up the market.

Sure enough, half an hour after the release of the new song, the download volume had already exceeded 100,000, which was even better than the title track of an album by Tian Wang, who had many fans before.

"6666, we finally got the new song from Qing Ke! I can loop a song for a whole day again!"

"It's so good! It's so good! It's so good! Important things should be repeated three times!"

"This song is different from the last one's tenderness and romance. It's very vigorous and grand. It touched my heart!"

"The lyrics are beautiful! As expected, Qing Ke did not disappoint the Qing fans. Another classic work!"

#LinZhiqiao: Qing Ke, you successfully caught my attention.#

"Haha! Great Lin is so naughty!"

"I don't know why I find this pair so cute?"

"Qing Ke, Qing Ke, come out quickly. Your number one fanboy is out to act cute again!"

…

The topic has been diverted, but the popularity of the new song by Qing Ke has not decreased. Although there are not as many fans as his previous song "Memories", it has swept some major music charts. Unsurprisingly, Qing Ke has become the biggest dark horse in the music industry this year.

Some people liked it and some people didn't. They said that Qing Ke was too ugly to show his face. However, as soon as these words came out, they were immediately overwhelmed by the scolding of Qing Ke's fans!

"Do ugly people eat your family's rice?! I'm ugly and I'm proud! Why don't you have the courage to stand up and show your picture if you have the courage to be a keyboard warrior and talk rubbish behind the screen!"

"We make a living with our talents, not with our faces. Thank you."

"It's because of people like you who spit out nonsense at the bottom that Qing Ke doesn't dare to show himself! Qing Ke, don't get fooled by these petty people. Be confident and do what's right. We are not superficial people!"

"Even if you are ugly, the Qing Ke fans still like you. Some people are beautiful but who knows them?!"

…

Han Junqing was moved by such a group of lovely people protecting him. He wanted to stand up and admit his identity several times, but he was stopped by Wen Qing.

[If you stand up now, they wouldn't be so supportive! Sometimes, well-intentioned lies are necessary. Believe me, even if they accepted that imaginary ugly Junqing, they wouldn't want it to be you!]

This was said too straightforwardly, making Han Junqing a bit frustrated. "I know that, but keeping it from them makes me feel uneasy. I feel like I'm deceiving them."

[It's not like you're deceiving them. You just didn't tell them that Qing Ke isn't you!]

[Why are you so bothered by this? Have you finished reading the script? Can you recite it? Have you done your daily tasks? When are you going to repay your debts? What happened to doing good deeds every day? The world is waiting for you to save it, yet you're here worrying about these meaningless questions!]

Han Junqing was bombarded with questions from her, causing his head to feel as though it were spinning. He took a break and went outside to exercise in order to clear his mind. On the way, he also saved an injured kitten. This was the end of today's work.

Finally, the crew of "The Rightful Emperor" was about to shoot. The shooting location was in the Film and Television City, which was very close to Han Junqing's residence. Therefore, he stayed at home.

The confidentiality measures of the "The Rightful Emperor" crew were very good. Until now, they have not announced the starring lineup, nor have they revealed it. The new work of Darcy was about to start filming. Therefore, the crew started shooting in a low-key manner, without attracting reporters.

This was the experience of the crew for a long time. Once it was revealed that Darcy is the screenwriter, the entire crew will not be comfortable anymore. The countless gossipers will always come out of nowhere, take pictures of the scene, and go back to attract attention.

So the crew got smart and resolutely refused to reveal it until the last moment. Even the lineup of main actors was kept a secret. This was actually beneficial for Han Junqing. He could fully predict that if it was made public that he was the male lead of this show, it would cause a great backlash from the netizens! There would definitely be many people boycotting him as the lead actor. Even if the production team resisted the pressure and wouldn't kick him out, how could he not be affected by those nasty comments? If his mood was bad, how could he act deeply? So at this moment, the one who benefited the most was actually him.

Even so, when Han Junqing arrived at the set, there were still many whispers.

"Oh, it's really him. I heard before that Darcy personally casted him as the male lead. I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be him."

"Why did Darcy choose this kind of person as the male lead?"

"Was his mother really a prostitute? Wasn't it said that his father was unknown? Could it be the child of some benefactor?"

"Haha, it's possible."

"I used to like him quite a bit before. He's handsome and has a nice voice. Alas, what a pity!"

"What's a pity? If you don't mind, you can still like him!"

"How could I not mind? Who knows if he has a chaotic private life like his mother? Ugh, I can't stand such people!"

…

Wen Qing was attached to Han Junqing's body, so wherever he went, she would follow. Those whispers naturally couldn't escape her ears. It made her very angry. Don't know what these people are thinking. Why involve the child in their parents' matters? It's not what the child desires!

It was also unclear whether Han Junqing heard it. His face looked very calm. A young man who was not even twenty years old was able to perfectly conceal his emotions. Outsiders could see nothing. He could only be his true self when he was at home with Wen Qing.

As Han Junqing applied makeup in the dressing room, he closed his eyes and silently asked Wen Qing in his heart: "Did my mother really do something unforgivable? Why do people keep saying all these awful things about her?"

[No, she did not steal or rob. She simply chose the life she wanted to live and did not bother anyone. Everyone is entitled to decide their own fate, whether they deem it good or bad, and the result is borne by themselves. People who criticize the lives of others are often unsatisfied with their own and use it as an outlet to boost their self-esteem. In reality, these people are the ones who are most pitiful.]

[However, they don't deserve sympathy. You see, they will eventually have to pay the price for their lack of moral integrity.]

Han Junqing was relieved of his grief by Wen Qing's words. Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the door. The girl, who was gluing his wig, shook his head with a trembling hand.

"Sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't hurt you, did I?" The round-faced girl apologized repeatedly. Her face was full of guilt. She was an amateur to begin with. The senior actor saw how Han Junqing was easy to fool, so he told her to practice with him. She was afraid of not doing it well and was highly nervous. Just now, when she was startled by the noise outside, her hand trembled.

Han Junqing's tears of pain came out, but he still managed to smile gently, "It's alright."

The round-faced girl was very grateful. She felt that he had a good temper. If it was someone else, she might have lost her job! Her opinion of Han Junqing changed. Without considering his background, his character was really faultless. But he couldn't choose his background! Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that everyone's condemnation of him was unreasonable.

The round-faced girl was excited and took out her notebook, which was essential for working on the set. In case she met a star she liked, she could get an autograph. She handed it over nervously and said, "Mr. Han, please sign this for me!"

Han Junqing smiled slightly. As he was about to take the pen, the noise outside had already permeated the room.

Han Junqing didn't have an assistant and was by himself, so a group of people coming in from outside made him look vulnerable.

The person who led those people was someone Han Junqing recognized. His name was Gong Yue. In recent years, he was very active in films and television dramas, and won the Best Male Actor Award at the beginning of this year. The media then gave him the title of Best Actor. Nowadays, the title of Best Actor was not worth much, and anyone could crown themselves as Best Actor by simply getting any kind of Best Male Actor Award.

Gong Yue looked at Han Junqing with arrogance and disdain in his eyes. "Han...eh? What was it again? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not really paying attention to the newcomers lately. I can't remember names."

Everyone around him chuckled after he finished speaking. Gong Yue was very pleased with himself, looking up and down at Han Junqing. "I'm really sorry for disturbing you while you're putting on your make up. I came here to discuss something with you. Even though this is the dressing room for the lead actor, you're the only one here, right? It's such a waste to use such a big room. My assistant and bodyguards are a lot of people, so the public room on the other side won't fit all of us. Why don't we switch?"

Han Junqing knew that he didn't have good intentions, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless. He almost ordered him to leave?! Giving up a dressing room wasn't a big deal, but should he surrender this time, his limit would be made known to all. How could anyone take him seriously in the crew after this? He already had no prestige, how could he let people step on him?

Han Junqing gave a subtle smile. His lips were on the brink of uttering something, when he heard Wen Qing quickly issued a task:

[Secondary Task: Hit the face with a stick! Let him know why the flower is so red! 500 points. I'll give you points!]

Han Junqing slightly twitched his mouth corners. He quickly recovered and continued, "You know this is the dressing room for the male lead. The question is, is that you?"

"You!" This sentence hit the sore spot for Gong Yue. Why did Gong Yue have such a strong hostility towards Han Junqing? It was because he wanted to be the male lead but failed, and of course he didn't like Han Junqing, who got the male lead role. He felt like Han Junqing had stolen his chance of being the male lead.

There are always those peculiar folks who believe whatever it is they desire should be theirs, without considering whether or not they possess the necessary capability to attain it.

Han Junqing smiled faintly and looked at him with a compassionate look, "If you want to be the hero, go right to the director to present yourself as the male lead. It will do you no favors trying to make me see your worth, you know?"

Gong Yue's nose was contorting with fury and his face turned ashen. His finger trembled as he pointed at Han Junqing in anger. He could mouth the word 'you' but was unable to form a coherent sentence. Eventually, he was forced to leave in a huff, still seething with rage.

Wen Qing praised him and swiped a full screen of 666 for him in the system. [Well done! That's it! The weaker you are, the more people will want to bully you. Only when you become strong can you truly be invincible and unyielding!]

Han Junqing smiled. His smile dazzled the eyes of the girl next to him. "I know this truth. Before, in order to protect my mother, I used to act tough. How could I not be tough when there's no man in the house? But since my mother passed away, I suddenly lost everything to protect and didn't know who to act tough for. Now I've found it again. I want to protect myself and protect my mother's reputation, because I don't like hearing my mother being slandered. Only if I'm strong enough, no one will be able to talk ill of my mother!"

At that moment, Han Junqing's gaze was so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it. Wen Qing suddenly fell silent, thinking of Han Wenqing. She had raised a good son. Maybe she didn't know that he didn't need anyone's help. He was capable of conquering his obstacles by himself. Some people are born to be looked up to!

Of course, her assistance was not completely useless. At least it could make him take fewer detours.

What happened in the dressing room was just an episode and didn't cause much of a stir on the set. However, it was obvious that the hushed whispers quieted down in front of Han Junqing. This incident had woken Han Junqing up to the fact that he needed an assistant and bodyguards. His agency might not be able to sign off on the hire, but an assistant was necessary.

"Do you have enough money to hire someone?"

Wen Qing threw cold water on his idea. Han Junqing was stunned for a moment. It was evident that there was an issue at hand.

However, Wen Qing managed to find a few suitable candidates for him, including the round-faced girl from the dressing room, who was willing to be his assistant for free without salary.

It was out of the question not to pay her, but at least they could delay the payment. After all, they were in a tight spot right now.

Chapter 140: Superstar Cultivation System [6]

Once the crew began filming, it was surprisingly smooth. Gong Yue's presence provided a youthful appeal to "The Rightful Emperor", but the majority of the cast were old actors. These people paid more attention to the quality of the actors themselves, rather than anything else.

Han Junqing's acting was unquestionable, and he worked hard for the show. Even the most picky actors could not pinpoint any flaws when they acted with him. After a few scenes, the actors who had acted alongside him all praised him, which was amazing. Han Junqing was not arrogant, he was modest and did not show any impatience of a young person. This attitude made people appreciate him even more and felt that this young man was steady and had great potential.

Despite his mother's past, the things about her were largely disregarded in the circle. Any gossip that may have circulated about her doing absurd things was considered nothing more than hearsay. The modern world has accepted that even adult video actresses can make money in a legitimate way, showing that the public is not as strict about sexual matters as they once were. It was just someone who took the opportunity to create a situation and guide the public opinion in an unfavorable direction to Han Junqing. Language is an art form. What was once a trivial matter was artificially processed and modified until it became disgusting.

Obviously, the person behind this event was well-aware of how to make fans resentful. At that time, Han Junqing's position was not yet firm, and the agency was not supportive, thus making him easy to target.

Peeling away the superficialities, wasn't this about Han Junqing's mother being a young lady before? Based on this, rumors about his unknown father, his chaotic private life, and his ascendance through unspoken rules, etc, were all based on mere speculation with no concrete evidence. At first there were words like "allegedly" and "possibly", but as the rumors spread, these speculations became the so-called truth, and no one cared about the facts of the matter.

It was obvious to anyone that Han Junqing was being maliciously targeted, as this was a norm in this circle. When you are popular, people dislike you. Those who aren't popular are afraid that you will block their way, and those more popular than you are worried that you will steal their resources. So, they try to trip you up.

However, the means against Han Junqing were not particularly clever. The main reason for his downfall was that his agency was not strong enough; there was no public relations action at all, it was almost as if they had given up on him. If his team had the capability, it would not have had much of an impact at all. In this circle, if one wanted to go far, it mainly depended on personal abilities. Han Junqing was physically attractive, hardworking, steady and perceptive, such a person should not fail. Even if his luck has run out for now, it will only be a temporary setback, eventually he will surely rise to the top.

It was precisely because these people understood this that they had no pressure to associate with Han Junqing.

However, not everyone understood this. There were always a few petty people spouting malicious words without naming anyone. So, Han Junqing had to pretend he hadn't heard it. In short, the atmosphere on the set was generally harmonious until the female lead joined the crew.

The actress playing the female lead was Gu Ruoying. She started out as a child star and, though she was not very old, she was already among the top actors. Because the female lead had few scenes and she was filming for another production at the same time, it was a month after the official filming started that she finally arrived.

Gu Ruoying was extremely beautiful, and stood out even in the crowded entertainment industry. Not only was she beautiful, she was also highly skilled in a variety of hobbies, such as playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She also had a good temper and managed to stay clear of any scandals for all these years in the industry, and had many friends all over the entertainment circle.

According to rumors, Gu Ruoying had an impressive family background, which could explain her success in the entertainment industry.

[Are you envious? She has someone to support her and it's easy to make it in the entertainment industry. You see those media reporters, they mention her and it's all praise - not a single criticism. Unlike you, you don't have any background or connections, and anyone can step on you.]

After Gu Ruoying came over, Wen Qing asked Han Junqing this question.

Han Junqing kept his eyes closed and let the makeup artist touch him up. Then he said to Wen Qing with thoughts in his heart, "Envy is natural, but envy does not lead to jealousy. She has her own destiny, and I have my own opportunities. Everyone has their own karma, and there is nothing to compare."

[You're pretty open-minded.] Wen Qing said this, but in her heart, she thought that the other person had a lot of good opportunities presented to her, while Han Junqing had to work hard for him.

[Then do you feel it's unfair?] Wen Qing asked after a moment of thought.

[One's family background can decide many things. Some people enjoy the best of everything from birth because of their privileged background. They don't have to fight for anything, as all of their needs are provided for them. Famous directors, scripts, resources, etc. On the other hand, some people have to struggle for even a single audition, suffering, feeling lost, and fighting tooth and nail for a chance to make it big. No matter how hard you work, it won't compare to one word from somebody else with a privileged background. Do you feel that the world is unfair to you at this moment?]

Han Junqing thought for a moment before answering, "The world isn't absolutely fair to begin with. Family background only decides where you start, not where you finish. How do you know the ancestors of those born into privilege didn't suffer, feel lost, and struggle? How do you know that my efforts right now won't be the foundation of my descendants' privileged words? I believe fairness can be obtained through effort."

"However..." Han Junqing changed the subject and asked Wen Qing curiously, "Why are you so fixated on this issue today? What do you want to say?"

Wen Qing rolled her eyes. "What I want to say is that you and Gu Ruoying are just acting in a show. Don't take it too seriously, otherwise I wish you two become brother and sister in the end!"
