469 Human’s Joys and Sorrows Are Not Connected

For a time, the internet was abuzz with discussions about Shi Xi’s participation in [The Top].

[She’s a mentor in China and now she’s a student overseas. If Shi Xi wants to keep her dignity, then she shouldn’t embarrass herself in public.]

[Shi Xi hasn’t even decided if she wants to participate. There’s no need to take a loan and mock her, right?]

[Xi Xi Zi is busy with her new movie and doesn’t have time to go overseas to participate in talent shows.]

!!

[…]

Both [The Top] and Shi Xi were hot topics.

And when the two topics collided, the popularity was even higher.

The fans also came to the company immediately to ask if Shi Xi was going to participate in [The Top].

…

“This is a good opportunity to show your face,” Han Chuan said seriously. “If you perform well, it’ll be beneficial for your future development.”

“But if that’s the case, we’ll have to delay the filming again,” Shi Xi said with a conflicted expression.

“Yes.” Han Chuan’s expression was serious.

The three of them fell silent.

This was a rare opportunity, but Shi Xi’s movie was still in preparation.

“Or, can you go and participate in the program first? It’s our own movie anyway,” Zhu Lin suggested. “It’s fine even if it’s delayed for three months.”

Han Chuan nodded and said, “I think so too.”

“Three months?” Shi Xi asked.

“Uh, this variety show will take three months to film.” Zhu Lin looked at the time on the invitation again and said, “I can’t spend the New Year at home.”

“Even if I participate in [The Top], I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to attract fans,” Shi Xi said after some thought.

“With this face of yours, you’ll be able to attract fans as soon as you go on stage,” Han Chuan said lightly.

Zhu Lin encouraged Shi Xi. “Believe in yourself! You can do it!”

“It’s easy to say. You’re going to an unfamiliar place to participate in this kind of program. You can’t even complain if you’re wronged.” Shi Xi was no longer a newbie in the entertainment industry. She sat on the sofa and said, “If I go to M Country, it’ll be their home ground. Won’t they try their best to suppress me?”

This was true.

Han Chuan handed the invitation to Shi Xi. “This is the price they offered. If you’re not satisfied, I’ll turn them down.”

Shi Xi took a glance and her eyes lit up.

“I’ll go!”

It was not that she could not resist the temptation.

They had really given too much!

“Wait,” Zhu Lin interrupted. “When you said ‘I’ll go’, are you sighing or are you really going?”

“…Both,” Shi Xi replied.

She sighed with emotion, but she also wanted to go.

Han Chuan nodded and said, “I’ll pass down the casting.”

“When you return from M Country in three months, we’ll start shooting immediately.”

Shi Xi slumped on the sofa.

She was too busy.

She even had the thought of quitting the entertainment industry and taking the Shi family’s shares and dividends.

Even if she went to sell crabs with her parents, she wouldn’t starve to death!

Life was so difficult.

Shi Xi had a look of despair on her face.

“I’m going on a public holiday!” Zhu Lin cheered at the side.

The joys and sorrows of human beings were not connected.

“I really want to go home and inherit my family fortune,” Shi Xi said.

Zhu Lin, “…”

F*ck.

The joys and sorrows of human beings were not connected.

Next, Han Chuan arranged Shi Xi’s recent schedule.

Shi Xi felt tired just by looking at it.

When they got home and had dinner, Shi Xi told everyone that she was going overseas to participate in a variety show.

“You’re going overseas?” Mother Shi was worried. “How long are you going to be gone? Are you alone?”

Shi Xi perked up, not wanting to worry her mother. “It’ll take about three months. Zhu Lin and Xiao Tian will accompany me.”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be a closed-off talent show with strict management. Nothing will happen!”
