Chapter 11: Fight Fire with Fire

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Nian had been too straightforward. Now, she had learned how to fight fire with fire.

Wen Nian’s voice was not soft either. With Shen Jun sitting beside her, it was difficult not to hear what she said.

Huang Yue hurriedly retorted, “I’m not vain. I thought you were embarrassed when you rejected the gift. Besides, he’s you…”

At the thought of Wei Xiao’s identity, Huang Yue immediately shut her mouth. She didn’t want Wei Xiao to have anything to do with Wen Nian, this village girl. If others knew that Wen Nian had a fiancé with such a good family background, Shen Jun might even misunderstand how exceptional Wen Nian was!

Then, she would be completely reduced to a supporting role. After all, she only had the advantage over Wen Nian in terms of learning and social skills.

However, if she did not explain clearly, the new classmate might agree with Wen Nian.

Wen Nian obviously knew Huang Yue’s concerns and didn’t give her time to weigh the pros and cons. She deliberately interrupted and said, “Although he’s my…”

Huang Yue felt that Wen Nian was simply shameless. As expected, she wanted to spread the news about the rich. She did not care about her image and hurriedly interrupted her loudly. “Let’s not talk about those unpleasant things. Wen Nian, come out with me for a while. I have something important to tell you.”

Wen Nian blinked a few times. “Then tell me about it here. I still have to read.”

Huang Yue glanced at Shen Jun. It was not a good thing to ask someone to drop out of school. The others were not as easy to fool as Wen Nian. She said to Wen Nian, “This matter is very private and very important.”

Of course, Wen Nian knew what Huang Yue wanted to do. She deliberately delayed for a few more moments. When she saw that Huang Yue was about to lose her temper and leave, she held back her laughter and agreed. After all, even if Huang Yue had left in anger now, she would still bother her with this matter later. It was better to settle it as soon as possible, and today was a good day that she had specially chosen.

Huang Yue wanted to pull Wen Nian to the school field to talk, but Wen Nian insisted on staying in the corridor outside the classroom.

Huang Yue had no choice. Seeing that there was no one else in the corridor, she started to pretend to be mysterious and said, “Didn’t you want to live the life of a rich person before? Now you have a chance! My father knows a manager friend. Given your beauty, I thought that it would be a pity if you didn’t become an artist. And so I gave your photo to that manager.”

“Originally, she was already managing a few celebrities and didn’t have much energy for more. However, out of consideration for my father, she decided to give you a chance. Wen Nian, it wasn’t easy for me to convince her. When you become successful and earn a lot of money to drive a luxury car, don’t forget about me.”

Wen Nian leaned against the railing of the corridor and listened to Huang Yue spinning a grandiose story for her with boredom. Even the lines were similar to those from her previous life. At that time, she had never come into contact with society, so how would she know that the competition in this world was only limited to A- and B-list celebrities who earned a lot of money and were seen as glorious and dignified. She fell into the beautiful dream created by Huang Yue, and her family couldn’t dissuade her from pursuing it.

However, in reality, there were hundreds of thousands of university students who studied acting, singing, and dancing in the country every year. This did not include many non-professionals who were constantly entering this industry. She had no education or talent, so how could she compare to them?

Furthermore, the entertainment industry had a low threshold. Anyone could enter and make a living, and it was unlikely that there would be even one top celebrity out of 10,000 people. Many university graduates could only barely survive in this industry.

However, at this moment, Wen Nian still cooperated with Huang Yue and revealed a surprised expression. “That’s awesome!”

Seeing Wen Nian’s reaction, Huang Yue felt relieved. She thought to herself, “I knew it. Why did Wen Nian suddenly become so smart? It’s probably because of what happened at home two days ago.” She decided to continue coaxing her. “That’s right. I’ve been nagging my father to strongly recommend you! Otherwise, do you think this opportunity would have come to you? Hurry up and go back to discuss with your parents about dropping out.”

Wen Nian’s gaze wavered for a moment as she looked at Huang Yue, and then she said hesitantly, “But I’m not even 18 years old yet. Can they hire child laborers? Besides, my parents definitely won’t agree. After all, I’m still a student. I have to at least finish university before I can work.”

Huang Yue secretly scolded Wen Nian for being a country bumpkin. “Even if you’ve never seen a pig run before, you’ve eaten pork. Think about those child celebrities. If they’re considered child laborers, which is illegal, can television dramas be released? That’s what’s special about the entertainment industry. The law allows it. Besides, if your parents don’t agree to you dropping out of school, are you going to give up your chance at a happy life of earning big money?”
