Chapter 49.2 - An anti that goes too deep naturally becomes a fan 2
“Today, I came, because I heard director Qiao say that you can go even further. So if you can, why not try it out? Become someone even better, someone worthy of standing by Mu Cheng’s side.”
Su Bai’s words stirred something in Tang Xiao.
The attraction of being able to stand next to Mu Cheng was too great but if this came from Chief Ning’s mouth, she’d believe it.
But from Su Bai’s mouth, she felt like this wasn’t the main topic.
She patiently waited as Su Bai took out a script book from her bag.
“Recently, I’ve been trying to get overseas roles and develop myself. You’ve probably heard of director Ji, right? If you get connected to him, you won’t be far from being an A-list actress. So even if Mu Cheng chose you, I hope you can continue to grow.”
If an olden day love rival ran to your house and said that she wanted to hold your hands and be peaceful, wishing you luck and prosperity, and even offered up a famous director’s script book, what would that mean?
It was something that only happened in Mary-Sue type books.
In reality, if there was nothing suspicious there, then Su Bai’s brain must have been slammed hard by a door.
Tang Xiao held her cup of milk and sipped it, taking a look at the script book. “If I take on a film, the company has a policy that it has to go through the company. I’ll ask Chief Ning afterwards.”
Su Bai then pushed the script book towards her, “Director Ji has already contacted Chief Ning but Chief Ning pushed for another actress from our company. Tang Xiao, you have to grab your own opportunities.” Su Bai spoke meaningfully.
If this was from anyone else, it would’ve been like they were hinting that the company was showing favouritism and not giving everyone equal opportunities.
If Tang Xiao had even half a point of interest in this, right now, she had none.
If Chief Ning had rejected it, there was definitely a reason.
Tang Xiao didn’t consider the script book any more. “If someone else has already been chosen, then I’ll think about the next collaboration opportunity then.”
Su Bai knew that she couldn’t push her too hard, “Think about it again. I’ll leave director Ji’s number for you, so take a long hard look at it and then you can go find him for a chat.”
Once Su Bai left, Tang Xiao threw the piece of paper with director Ji’s number in the bin.
But some of Su Bai’s words did enter her heart.
-- become an even better person.
Chief Ning had said so before, that she definitely couldn’t get involved in a scandal with Mu Cheng.
Because Mu Cheng was too famous, once she got connected with Mu Cheng, there’d be a lot of people who would be suspicious of her motives, they’d attack her.
Normally, after actresses get attacked like that, it’d be easy for their popularity to drop and be die off.
These few days, she hadn’t really gone online so she didn’t know how the outside world was swearing at her.
Even if Mu Cheng and Chief Ning pushed down on the rumours, there definitely still would be a lot of people online talking about her.
Tang Xiao, for the first time, wanted to rely on her own strength to stand next to Mu Cheng proudly.
When Chief Ning came to pick her up, Tang Xiao was quietly sitting on the couch and contemplating life.
“What’s up with you?” Chief Ning wasn’t used to this. He thought her mood had been affected by the comments online.
“From an impartial view, what do you think about Mu Cheng?”
Chief Ning thought for a bit, before commenting, “Very good.”
For someone to be able to get ‘very good’ from Chief Ning, and impartially, meant that Mu Cheng really was that great.
“What do you want to say?:”
Tang Xiao looked at him deeply, “I think I might want to date Mu Cheng.”
Chief Ning’s face darkened, “To secretly crush on someone is called a ‘one sided love’, to the point where you are, it’s called ‘starry eyed fool’.”
Tang Xiao shook her head seriously, “I’ve already married Mu Cheng in game. In a few more days, I’m preparing to sleep with him. But in these few days, I want to work hard.”
Chief Ning: …..
“Are you stopping your all day lazing around, ready to temporarily work hard towards a magnificent and ambitious goal?”
Tang Xiao sighed, “Do I have to write those words on my back for you to believe me? Recently, is there any work?”
“Spirit Road’s company wants you and Mu Cheng to do a game live stream. If the results are good, you might get some other work. That one, I’ve helped you agree to. Because you play games, you’ve gotten a fair few number of fans. People like the stereotype of a young girl addicted to games.” Chief Ning said.
Tang Xiao nodded.
“What is up with you today?” Chief Ning was a bit concerned.
Tang Xiao very seriously spoke, “Su Bai was right, to stand next to Mu Cheng, I have to be excellent myself. Once I’ve reached nirvana, I will rise to the sky, at that time, I’ll definitely take you. The so-called even chickens …”
Under Chief Ning’s threatening look, Tang Xiao didn’t finish saying “even chickens and dogs can fly up to the heavens”.
On Spirit Road’s side, they planned to have Mu Cheng and Tang Xiao, as well as two other small celebrities plus Peach Blossom to be a team of five and lead other players into battle.
Once the activity was put online, the people who wanted to sign up made Spirit Road’s servers nearly explode again.
Mu Cheng, ah!
The person that made all female players want to lick their screens!
Tang Xiao, ah!
That wild brat who led everyone to explode Spirit Road’s servers!
Also Peach Blossom male idol, ah!
Who didn’t know about the beautiful and pleasing voice Peach Blossom male idol.
Of course, there were a lot of people who signed up for the opposing team.
Getting killed was also a type of happiness!

[Little side epilogue] Regarding the question of ‘sleeping’ (no spoilers)
Chief Ning: Lin Wen, forgetting your lessons already, hmm? I’ll make sure you ‘grow’ some sense.
Xiao Lin: □﹏□ I want it to be (grown) long and handsome.
Powerful hotpot: You want to sleep with me?
Olden day dawn: Honestly speaking, yes.
July: Tonight ….
Parting song: En.
Tang Xiao: No need to say anything! I’ve already prepared well! Sleeping together? Take off your pants! Lie down! Give your meat body to me!
Mu Cheng: ……

TL note:
“Even chickens and dogs can fly up to the heavens” - basically Chief Ning can ride on TX’s coattails once she becomes famous lol
THE SLEAZY DIRECTOR JI, I KNEW SU BAI WAS BAD NEWS.
Did you like the small aside? The ‘grow’ and ‘long’ pun is from the previous chapter, re-read here.
Leave a comment and follow for the livestream event xx
Thanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteSay, how much do you want to bet that Su Bai has potentially slept with scummy director?
Also, she's real stupid to think Tang Xiao is dumb enough to fall for something like that. She (TX) might be brash, unfiltered, a bit of an airhead but she's not an idiot. XD
PREACH!
DeleteShe might be an idiot, but she's our idiot ๐ค๐ค
DeleteTX does have a bit of sense though. Let's just hope director Ji just leaves her alone ๐ญ
DeleteI'll bet all my savings that Su Bai slept with that sleazy director.
DeleteShe really wanted to stand beside Mu Cheng in the limelight that she did not mind dirtying her body just to get close to him.
To Su Bai: I say girl! You need to clear your mind between ONSCREEN couple and REAL LIFE couple. You're being delusional mixing up the two. (ใะด` )
Su Bai just might have. The entertainment circle's pretty dirty and not everyone's as lucky as TX ๐ญ๐ญ
DeleteI want TX to mention what SB did to Chief Ning though...
ReplyDeleteTX is not a tattletale ๐ฃ๐ฃ
DeleteJuly and Parting song are mine kind of pepole, just a few words, everything is understood ( ͡~ ͜ส ͡°) Thanks!
ReplyDelete๐๐๐๐
DeleteGJ TX! Even though your stupid and shameless at least you know who to trust! (~ ̄³ ̄)~
ReplyDeleteTX knows the first rule is to never trust your love rivals ๐๐
DeleteTX may be shameless but she certainly isn't stupid!!!
ReplyDelete(not too stupid but her IQ is nearly 0 when Mu Cheng is around ๐คง๐คง)
DeleteI been imagining the reaction of Mu Cheng
ReplyDeleteif he knew that TX will work with Director Ji.
He will explode and turn to real life massacre mode.
And green bitch tea Su Bai will be chop a thousand times. hahahahaha
Excited for the nxt chap. ^.^
TX has Mu Cheng and Chief Ning protecting her so she probably won't work with director Ji.
DeleteSu Bai hasn't done anything to warrant being chopped ๐๐
“I’ve already married Mu Cheng in game. In a few more days, I’m preparing to sleep with him. But in these few days, I want to work hard.”
ReplyDeleteTX we love you like this! go forward!
Wheee!!!! livestream!!!!
Will TX be all talk or will she actually take action? ๐ค๐ค
Deletewell MC's gonna push forward for her hehe
Deleteas long as he knows TX is into him too~
TX is sooooo obvious, if MC didn't know she was into him, (from like all the posters, the numerous declarations of love to him despite not knowing who he was, to discussing how to drug him and etc, etc), he better be dead ๐ค๐ค
Delete"Once Su Bai left, Tang Xiao threw the piece of paper with director Ji’s number in the bin. "
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this I was like 'WAY TO GO GIRL~~ I KNEW YOU'RE NOT THAT STUPID TO BELIEVE THAT !#!@$%$ SUBAI!!!'
Thanks for the chapter^^
TX might be a dork but she's not stupid ๐ฃ๐ฃ
DeleteProud of TX! She might be an idiot but at least she knows who to trust.
ReplyDeleteWAIT I'M SHOOK
ReplyDeleteI've been binge reading and I haven't finished the chapter yet but AS SOON AS SHE MENTIONED DIRECTOR JI...
I literally just clicked next chapter thinking "dang I really misjudged her I thought she was a bad person but she's not" and THIS HAPPENS
