‘FangXi then met Ye Kun, who’s actually a master chef. With him around, Fang Xi didn’t even have to wash vegetables, so she no longer believes in ancient sayings,’ Yun Nan continued thinking.

‘Perhaps the heavens sent Ye Kun to Fang Xi to make up for all the hurt she went through before. Hopefully, Ye Kun won’t hurt Fang Xi.’ Yun Nan knew there was a wound—a hole—in Fang Xi’s heart left behind by that scumbag ex-boyfriend. She hoped Ye Kun would be the one to fill it in.

Fang Xi had arranged a busy schedule for Shi Xiu recently. In the past few days, Shi Xiu has been a guest star in five TV shows, from historical romance dramas to modern urban thrillers. She played small roles, not even a second female lead role. All of her roles were supporting characters.

Fang Xi advised Shi Xiu, “You never attended professional acting schools. If you want to develop your acting career further, you have to hone your acting skills, and there’s no better way to learn and hone your acting skills than through actual experience. You should act and perform more—try out different roles and characters. Don’t be in a hurry to promote your fame; it can break an artiste as easily as it can make them. We don’t need such temporary fame. You can only consider yourself a success in this industry when the audience comments that you’re a versatile veteran actor.”

Shi Xiu listened well to Fang Xi. She threw herself into the film studios and learned as much as possible, absorbing everything like a sponge. When she had free time and didn’t have any roles lined up, she would squat in the corner of the film set and watch others act. She got so into it that she would even take notes.

Even Yun Nan couldn’t help but remark, “Didn’t she say she was interested in fashion? Why is she suddenly so obsessed with acting?”

Fang Xi smiled and sighed. “This wealthy little miss is quite remarkable. She’s good at whatever she does. She’s leaving those who don’t work hard in the dust. Oh, by the way, she has a fan meeting later. Come with us. She’s our studio’s— Yun Innovations’—artiste, so you should come to show your support and hold the line. ”

“Yes, sir!” Yun Nan playfully replied. With Shi Nian and Ye Kun’s help, their studio had been upgraded to a company. It was now called ‘Yun Innovations— Fang Xi came up with the name.

After Shi Xiu changed her clothes, she sat at the front of the stage and signed autographs for her fans. This fan meeting was a short event led by her fan club.

Her fan club had pre-prepared a set of questions for Shi Xiu. When they asked Shi Xiu why she took on small roles instead of acting in lead roles, Shi Xiu smiled and answered, “I’d like to correct you there. There is no role too small or too big; however, there is a ‘newbie actor’ like me! I didn’t go to acting schools, nor do I have much experience in acting. I’m only here on this stage today thanks to a bit of talent and luck. How can I live up to everyone’s expectations and love if I don’t study hard and hone my skills?”

She continued, “Being able to act out these so-called ‘small’ roles well is the duty of an actor. I had a chat with one of the extras one day, and she taught me a lot of things. I was shocked by how much she knew and how much there is about acting I still have to learn! Truly, I can learn something from anyone and everyone in the film studios, from the big stars to the smallest of actors and even the off-screen technicians and staff.”

The crowd’s applause was thunderous. Yun Nan and Fang Xi looked at each other, and Fang Xi mouthed softly, “The kid learns fast, doesn’t she?” Yun Nan smiled and nodded.

When Shi Xiu was asked if there was anyone she fancied, she shook her head so hard that her braids whipped about. Everyone laughed before asking her about her criteria for a future partner.

Shi Xiu gave it some thought before replying, “I’ve never really thought about this matter. I’m the youngest in my family, and everyone—including myself— sees me as a child, and there are so many interesting things to do that I don’t have the time to even think about romance, let alone fall in love.” Shi Xiu’s eyes widened in confusion as she went on, “As for my criteria for choosing my future partner… Do all of you have a set criteria before finding your sweethearts?”

Then, she gave everyone a bright smile and stated, “I think love is something that happens naturally. You can’t force or put restrictions on it. Take my brothers, for example. They didn’t set out to look for a partner, but then they met my sisters-in-law and got married. Those two couples are so sweet and lovey-dovey, they’re giving me cavities. And I think that’s great; I want my romance to be just like theirs in the future. As for who my future partner will be, who knows? He’s out there somewhere I don’t know, nor do I want to. After all, he’ll appear with a bang when the time is right.”

Her statement was met with friendly laughter and applause. After all the pre-prepared questions were over and done with, it was time for the fans’ Q&A session. The female fan who got picked stood up slowly and stared at Shi Xiu as she said, “Miss Shi, I would like to tell you about my story.”

Shi Xiu smiled at her in return and clapped her hands, encouraging her to continue. The woman began, “I’ve been together with my boyfriend for five years; I love him very much. To me, he’s my life—my everything. I’m willing to die for him! He’s from a traditional, well-to-do, and strict family, and in these five years, I’ve done my best to mold myself into the perfect daughter-in-law that would meet his family’s requirements.”

“But he broke up with me because his family had arranged a marriage for him when he was born. Miss Shi, can you imagine how despondent and forlorn I was when I heard the news? The despair I felt?”

“I’ve tried to commit suicide several times but failed. I had no choice but to come and beg you. Miss Shi, will you please have some pity on me and return Gu Fei to me? I swear, I’ll definitely repay you and become your slave in my next life!” That said, the woman kneeled.

Not only Shi Xiu but even Yun Nan and Fang Xi were stunned. The fans were in an uproar, and the situation was out of control..
