Translator: _Min_
[Lin Wan Su really makes people laugh. Her family bought a hundred thousand copies, yet she still couldn’t match the sales figures.]
[Now, that’s a slap in the face.]
Lin Wansu never anticipated that even after purchasing a hundred thousand copies herself, Si Fuqing’s sales would nearly double hers.
Her act of inflating sales was known among fans, instantly making her the butt of jokes.
Her fans were left speechless.
Lin Wansu called Xu Jianian, crying out of frustration, “Jianian, what should I do? I don’t believe her sales figures are real!”
“But indeed, it was 240,000 in flash sales,” sighed Xu Jianian. “I don’t even have those numbers.”
Female stars indeed tend to have lower purchasing power among fans compared to their male counterparts.
Yet, with this magazine sales event, Si Fuqing showed everyone she was number one.
Several top stars’ teams had already taken note of her.
“Do you have time to see me?” asked Lin Wansu. “I’m feeling down. I’m not in Sijiu City, but in a town in Northern State. It’s less crowded here, so we won’t get photographed. ”
“Alright, no problem. I’ll come over tonight,” Xu Jianian pondered for a moment.
Lin Wansu’s mood instantly brightened, “Then, I’ll wait for you.”
After the battle of magazine sales, Lin Wansu’s team fell silent, daring not to utter a word.
The editorial team of “Fashion Lady” regretted their decision like never before.
Over ten million in sales!
Had they chosen Si Fuqing over Lin Wansu, those millions would be theirs today.
The chief editor of “Fashion Lady” looked at the sales comparison and the increasing number of returns in their system, questioning their decision over and over.
But it was too late for regrets.
At five in the afternoon, in the Great Rift Valley of Northern State.
Today’s filming had ended, and the crew was preparing dinner.
Feng San stood up, “Miss Si, Brother Nine has arrived. I’ll go out to meet him.”
“Okay,” Si Fuqing replied while drying her hair. “I’ll head over in a bit.” After changing into her regular clothes, she exited the tent.
Yu Xiheng was still in his wheelchair, now with several boxes in his hands.
“What are these?” Si Fuqing pointed.
“Signal boosters,” Yu Xiheng explained. “The signal here is indeed very poor.” He had purchased the signal boosters before Xi Jiang reporting the issue.
“You’re really thoughtful, boss,” Si Fuqing took the boxes from him. “Give them to me, I’ll install them right away.”
Yu Xiheng nodded, “Shall we go to the town for dinner later?” “Sure,” Si Fuqing borrowed a toolbox. “I’ll let Director Tang know.” Without using any tools, she climbed up a telephone pole.
Xi Jiang couldn’t help but admire, “Miss Si is as agile as a cat.”
Yu Xiheng gave him a look.
Suddenly, Xi Jiang felt a chill.
Director Tang Haiqiu came over, only to see Si Fuqing squatting on the telephone pole.
He paused, “What are you doing?”
“Oh,” Si Fuqing held a screwdriver, “I’m installing a signal booster. The signal is too weak, making communication difficult. I ordered a box of parts online, and later, I’ll give you a small signal booster for your phone.”
Tang Haiqiu: ‘
After a few seconds, he turned, “Is your artist a science student?”
“Ah?” Sang Yanqing was taken aback, “She might… be an all-rounder?” Tang Haiqiu again:
“Done,” Si Fuqing clapped her hands. “Director Tang, try the signal now.” Tang Haiqiu instinctively took out his phone and found the signal was full.
He was silent, his brain slowly shutting down.
“Miss Si is truly miraculous,” the site coordinator was excited. “I can finally video call my wife.”
The rest of the crew was also very happy.
Shortly after, the assistant director ran over, “Director Tang, the crew next door wants Miss Si to install a signal transmitter for them.”
Tang Haiqiu snapped back to reality, “Next door?”
“The ‘Female General’ crew, ” the assistant director said. “It’s Teacher Cheng
Yiqiao there. Miss Si, can you do it? If not, I’ll refuse them right away.”
“No problem,” Si Fuqing jumped down. “It’s a small matter.”
The “Female General” crew was just a few meters away, also filming a desert scene.
Seeing Si Fuqing arrive, the director eagerly greeted her, “Miss Si, I’m really sorry to trouble you. If there’s anything you need help with, we’ll definitely assist! ”
“Don’t mention it, it’s nothing,” Si Fuqing quickly installed the second signal booster. “Check it out.”
The director, now with full signal on his phone, was nearly dancing with joy.
He could skip meals, but he couldn’t live without the internet.
A female voice then said, “Miss Si?”
Si Fuqing turned around.
The woman was dressed in silver armor, holding a long spear, and wore battle makeup, looking majestic.
Si Fuqing smiled, “Teacher Cheng.”
“Come, come, Miss Si, I really like you,” Cheng Yiqiao handed her spear to an assistant and stepped forward. “Snatching Gu Zhizan’s role already had me liking you, and now you’re installing signal boosters too.”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “Teacher Cheng is quite straightforward.” She had heard some gossip too.
“I just enjoy acting,” Cheng Yiqiao smiled coldly. “If it weren’t for the fans, I would have left the industry long ago, not caring about those awards.” She took out her phone, “Let’s not talk about that, let’s take a photo.” After taking the photo, Cheng Yiqiao swiftly posted on Weibo.

[!!! My top wife and my second wife?] [Suddenly feels like the barrier between dimensions has been broken…] [Is Qiaoqiao going to act with Qingqing?!J
Si Fuqing indeed had a huge following, and soon, #ChengYiqiao, SiFuqing# became a trending topic.
Both were closely watched by Gu Zhinan’s team.
But Cheng Yiqiao had been on their radar for a long time, while Si Fuqing was a recent addition.
“Never thought these two would end up together,” Sister Hua sneered. “Cheng
Yiqiao offended the Golden Flower Award jury. She’ll never win the Golden
Flower Award in her lifetime, always one award short of you.”
In the Great Xia Empire, only three major awards were considered mainstream and could add to an actor’s achievements: the Cloud Award, the Golden Flower Award, and the Prosperity Award.
With the Prosperity Award selection approaching, Gu Zhinan and Cheng Yiqiao were once again competing for the Best Actress award.
“Mr. LI hasn’t leaked the fallout with you, has he?” Sister Hua narrowed her eyes. “Don’t say anything, wait until you win the award.”
Gu Zhinan nodded.
“The Cloud Award might be tough, it’s too authoritative, and people from the Heaven Earth Alliance are judges,” Sister Hua shook her head. “But now no one is approaching Cheng Yiqiao for big productions, we don’t have to worry.”
Hearing Cheng Yiqiao was filming an ancient war drama, braving the desert’s wind and sun every day, even neglecting her own image. How could she compare with Gu Zhinan?
Sister Hua didn’t take her seriously at all.
At seven in the evening, Xu Jianian arrived at the Northern State town.
Lin Wansu went to meet him, throwing herself into his arms, “Over there is the desert where they’re filming. Hmph, let her get sunburned.” Xu Jianian patted her head, amused, “Why are you so childish?”
“Let’s go have dinner,” said Lin Wansu. “I’ve booked a private room.” Xu Jianian nodded and followed her.
After they left, several paparazzi sneaked out from around the corner.
Originally, they planned to capture Si Fuqing in Northern State but ended up spotting Xu Jianian, a top celebrity.
They had already thought of the headline for the next day’s Weibo post.
