Rebirth: I Am the Wealthy Family (GL) - Chapter 7

Chen Qianyǔ fell silent. She already felt that entering the entertainment industry was difficult; how did her sister survive for nearly ten years, from the age of sixteen to twenty-five? Facing such a despicable entertainment industry, in the end, her happiness was still taken away. Who on earth took her sister’s life?

“Ā Hé, I’ve been out for so long, why is there no news at all? Didn’t you say that those people would take action if they found out Chen Qianyǔ was still alive? Why is there no movement so far?”

Chen Qianyǔ couldn’t wait any longer; she wanted revenge. Revenge was the only motivation supporting her survival now, and the only reason she entered the entertainment industry.

“Qianyǔ, I don’t know either. If I knew why those people wanted to kill your sister, I would have reported it long ago. Now, I don’t know who he is, nor why. So, we can only wait now, and you must become popular, the more popular the better, so that those people will be wary and have to make a move against you. Only then will we have a chance to know, won’t we? So, you can really consider Director Gu’s offer. If she is willing to promote you, you might really become the top star in the entertainment industry!”

Ā Hé said with certainty. In the entertainment industry, the difference between having no support and having support is huge, especially for female celebrities. Any female celebrity who appears out of nowhere and becomes instantly famous must have a backer.

“Ā Hé, do you think I should agree? I always feel that Gu Míngzhū is a bit strange.”

Chen Qianyǔ expressed her doubts, especially observing Gu Míngzhū during lunch today. She felt that Gu Míngzhū had ulterior motives for her.

“Signing a contract must be cautious. Anyway, your current management contract still has a year left, we have time to observe. Let’s talk about it later. You actually have a commercial performance this afternoon. You must rush there now, we only have three hours. I’ve already called Lǎng Yuè; you’ll do your makeup in the car. This commercial performance is very important, you can’t mess it up.”

“What commercial performance? Why didn’t you tell me last night? I can’t do anything!”

Chen Qianyǔ panicked again. She had messed up the T-stage show that she had prepared for. How could she remain calm for an event she hadn’t prepared for?

“It’s a real estate opening event. You know, just cutting the ribbon with those bosses. It’s very simple. Just remember to keep smiling. There might be your fans sending you flowers; be generous then, take photos with them, sign autographs, and so on. Right, how is your imitation of your sister’s signature going? We can’t let anyone find a problem with the signature, can we?”

A celebrity’s signature is very unique, and Chen Qianyǔ’s was no exception. Fortunately, Chén Ruănruăn was from a literature background, and her imitation of the handwriting would be difficult to detect, even for a top authentication expert.

“Well, that’s no problem. Actually, I used to like imitating my sister’s handwriting when I was home, especially when I was little.”

When they were young, at the orphanage, Chen Qianyǔ and Chén Ruănruăn were identical twins and were inseparable all day long. The difference was their personalities. Chén Ruănruăn was timid and weak, always preferring to hide behind her sister Chen Qianyǔ when facing problems. Chen Qianyǔ protected Chén Ruănruăn well since they were young, and no one dared to bully her.

In academics, Chen Qianyǔ and Chén Ruănruăn were always the best students in the orphanage, especially Chen Qianyǔ, who was always number one, and her handwriting was also beautiful. When she was little, Chén Ruănruăn always used her sister’s handwriting as a model to copy. She didn’t expect it to come in handy now.

“That’s good. Don’t overthink things. As long as you are popular enough, the people who want to harm you will naturally surface. This commercial performance is just for practice. There will be many more such events in the future.”

This time, Chen Qianyǔ was attending a real estate opening event, located by the Xiāng Hú Lake in Hángchéng, for the launch of villas under Bīnjiāng. Most of the villas in Hángchéng are sold to the local wealthy. It was advertised as being surrounded by mountains on three sides and overlooking the river on one side. In fact, Ā Hé checked the data and later found that there was no “royal vein” there at all; it was a graveyard. Those developers can really make the dead sound alive.

It takes about an hour’s drive from Shàngjīng to Hángchéng. Chen Qianyǔ could only do her makeup in the car now. Lǎng Yuè seemed to be accustomed to this rush.

“Qianyǔ, I chose a red evening gown for you this time, your favorite big red. My taste is not bad, is it? Come, I’ll put on your makeup now!” Lǎng Yuè started doing Chen Qianyǔ’s makeup; the car was quiet.

“Okay, I understand. Tomorrow is fine, we have time!”

Ā Hé answered a phone call, then said to Chen Qianyǔ with a smile: “I’ll treat you and Lǎng Yuè to a BBQ tonight after the commercial performance. Qianyǔ, the role of Lín Huīyīn is yours! Haha. You are simply too good, and you said you couldn’t act?” Ā Hé was so excited he almost jumped up. Succeeding in the first audition meant half the battle was won.

“Really? The role is mine? I’m playing Lín Huīyīn, what about the others?”

A drama centered on Lín Huīyīn naturally needs the three major male leads, Liáng Sīchéng, Xú Zhìmó, and Jīn Yuèlín, as well as Zhāng Yǒuyí, Lù Xiǎomàn, and others. It’s not a one-woman show for Lín Huīyīn; she needs to interact with others.

“Oh, the others should be known tomorrow. Don’t think about it too much now. Go back and familiarize yourself with the script tonight. I’ll take you to meet Director Zhāng tomorrow. You must do well in this drama; it’s your work for transformation.” Ā Hé was already thinking about how to package and select Chen Qianyǔ’s next project.

“Okay, I’ll go back and study it carefully tonight.”

An hour later, Chen Qianyǔ, Ā Hé, and the others arrived at the commercial performance location. Strangely, Chen Qianyǔ ran into Gu Míngzhū here again. It truly is a small world. Gu Míngzhū was discussing something with someone.

“Ā Hé, why is Director Gu here too? Wasn’t she just with Jǐng Báiyè at Jiǔ Chóng Tiān? How did she get here before us?”

Chen Qianyǔ now felt that Gu Míngzhū was simply everywhere. How did she encounter her here again?

“Qianyǔ, yes, Director Gu is here. Why are you still standing there stunned? Hurry up and come with me to say hello to Director Gu. Come out quickly.” Ā Hé sometimes wondered why twin sisters, who were physically identical, could be so different in personality. If it were the real Chen Qianyǔ here, he wouldn’t need to remind her at all, but now he reminded her, and she was still hesitating.

“Ā Hé, is it okay to go up now? They are talking.”

Ā Hé looked at her helplessly: “My dear young lady, this is not the time to hesitate. Even if it’s a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den in front, you have to go for it. Go and greet Director Gu right now!”
