Chapter 58 - Great Success
Rebirth from the Ashes
Although his eyes were murky as rage surged within, Su Mushi kept up with appearances. âWhy would I have any regrets? It has nothing to do with me when filming and broadcasting commence.â
Utterly outrageous!
Even God was getting in his way!
There was nobody pouring six hundred million in investment when he took a look at the script.
No one told him it was a weekly broadcast when he turned down the script.
As a qualified bad friend, Yu Qiubai regrettably shook his head and smiled. âIâd be kicking myself with regret if I were you.â
Su Mushi coldly scoffed before speaking through clenched teeth. âThereâs plenty of series filmed in China every year and less than a third of them make the cut. Itâs only one out of a million that will be a hit. Weâll only know if itâs a hit after the series is shot.â
Yu Qiubai cocked a brow. âWhat if it becomes a hit?â
Seeing red, Su Mushiâs eyes sizzling in flames. âAre you deliberately getting into it with me?â
Yu Qiubai nonchalantly twirled the pencil in his hand. âItâs just a joke. Why are you getting worked up for?â
Of course, Su Mushi was filled with regret but there was no way he would admit to it.
He had bemoaned his decision when it was officially announced of new investors.
News of the weekly broadcast had him crying internally with regret.
The international class celebrated like it was the new year. It was not known whose idea it was, but the class was decorated with colorful balloons, as though it was the bedroom of newlyweds.
Shen Xi felt that with the addition of two bunches of firecrackers, she could be sent to the boudoir for her wedding night.
Song Wenye commented, âLil Xixi, you were great. Iâm proud and thrilled for your sake.â
The besties who came along yesterday to cheer Shen Xi were all there, happy for her more so than if they had won.
âI caught wind that the top class went ballistic.â Liu Ying happily clapped her hands.â
âI know, right? Su Ruowan must be boiling.â
âShe must be tooting her horn about her dance moves. Su Ruowan sure has the balls to say that Xixi only won because she dropped out of the competition. I wonder where she gets her confidence from?â Zhou Li gave a look of disdain.
âThatâs right. She should take a look at the competition. Ms. Shu Baiyuâs top student, Guan Ye was there as well.â Yang Yitong nodded.
Anyway, it was not as though they cared or knew who Su Ruowan was.
Shen Xi was really awe-inspiring. She could do it all herself, makeup, styling, even the dance costume.
Their idol right now was Shen Xi.
Having heard about Shen Xiâs great success yesterday, the other students of the international class were completely swept off their feet by admiration.
Even Song Wenye and Alpha Xu became her sidekicks. Without another word, they were now her sidekicksâ sidekicks.
âLet me tell you another exciting news.â Pei Xu positioned both feet on the table and leaned back like a major alpha male. He also had a cigarette in his mouth.
Repelled by the smell of tobacco, Shen Xi swept him a glance.
Pei Xu quickly put the cigarette down and kicked Lin Ge in the butt. âIâm going to quit smoking. Who told you to give me a cigarette? Hand me some gum.â
Lin Ge swiftly passed over some gum.
Pei Xu folded the cigarette in half before formidably tossing it into the bin. He then began the speech in a leisure manner. âDo you know about âThe Smiling Nationâ? The TV series thatâs said to have brought in six hundred million worth of investment.â
âDuh.â Song Wenyeâs eyes were sparkling. âItâs adapted from my favorite novel of my favorite author.â
The girls of the international class knew that Song Wenye would bug them into reading whatever she liked. They had read the book and fell in love as well.
