After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God
Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: Stolen Things Won’t Last Long, Joining the Set! (2)Chapter 332: Stolen Things Won’t Last Long, Joining the Set! (2)

She sent a message to Yu Xiheng on her phone.
[Boss, thank you for preparing these ingredients for me. Are you trying to turn me into a little chubster?]
[Boss]: Maybe a round and plump fox.
Si Fuqing:
How could she be compared to an animal like that dog Pixiu?
That wouldn’t do.
She’d rather be a little chubby.
[A round and plump little chubster!]
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end, followed by a new reply.
[Boss]: Mhmm, that could work.
The car soon arrived at the airport, and Si Fuqing boarded the plane.
The assistant director had booked a first-class cabin, offering excellent privacy.
“Miss Si, it’s a four-hour flight,” Shang Lu handed over an eye mask and blanket like a dutiful servant. “You got up at five today, so take a nap.” Si Fuqing, chin in hand, pondered, “You’re acting a bit odd today.” Shang Lu, loudly, “Just say it, Miss Si, and I’ll definitely change!”
“Just keep quiet.”
Shang Lu, quietly, “…Okay.”
He must serve Miss Si diligently to prevent more people from vying for his position.
Southern State.
Noon, at the Great Xia TV program set.
Apart from Si Fuqing, the other five regular guests had already arrived yesterday.
The environment here was indeed harsh, with only one hotel nearby.
The program crew set up temporary tents to improve conditions, but couldn’t keep away the mosquitoes, snakes, and ants.
After the morning shooting, Xu Jiannian was resting in a tent.
“I just got the news; the program crew is really good at keeping secrets.” His agent lifted the curtain and entered, looking displeased. “Do you Imow who the guest is that the assistant director personally picked up?”
Xu Jiannian looked up, “Who? It must be someone impressive, even Teacher
Yuan wasn’t picked up by the assistant director.”
“Impressive?” The agent scoffed disdainfully. “Sure, she’s been trending these past few days. Just a photo of her makes her go on trending. She really knows how to buy popularity. These public resource-hogging idols change every few months. Can they compare to real artists?”
Xu Jiannian pondered briefly, then said, “Are you talking about the dance instructor from ‘Youth With You’?”
Being from different circles, he naturally didn’t bother to remember her name.
But he had heard about a boy from ‘Youth With You’ who became instantly famous and even received an invitation from Glenn.
And due to a vote manipulation issue, this new star mentor directly confronted the investors on camera.
Bold, but such low EQis hard to survive in the entertainment industry.
“Yes, her.” The agent nodded. “Stay away from her. There were rumors about her harassing male students during that program. It must be based on some truth.’
Xu Jiannian just smiled and didn’t respond to that. Instead, he said, “She’s pretty daring. I didn’t have that courage at her age.”
Live broadcast variety shows were the real test for celebrities.
Any minor mistake, even a mispronounced word, could shatter their carefully crafted image.
Xu Jiannian, a decade in the industry, couldn’t guarantee being error-free.
Si Fuqing, just 18 and less than three years in the industry, with two and a half years of being hated universally, had just started turning her reputation around.
Yet she dared to join Great Xia TV’s live survival show.
“Brave and naive. I saw her photo; she’s pretty,” the agent cautioned. “Just be careful not to let her piggyback off your fame.”
“Like the actress who latched onto you for a couple’s publicity stunt, she climbed to a second-tier status. We can’t afford another leech.”
Xu Jiannian nodded, “I’m aware.”
“Anyway, this is live,” the agent said. “If she dares to do something, your fans will kick her out of the industry.”
“Let’s not talk about this,” Xu Jiannian checked his watch. “It’s almost time, I should go.”
The agent nodded in agreement.
Great Xia TV’s special survival show runs from morning till night.
Though only key moments will be featured in the edited video platform version.
Continuous live streaming could be dull, but with Xu Jiannian, a top celebrity, the stream was always bustling.
[Great Xia TV lives up to its name, having Jiannian for a two-month variety
show.]
[Xu Jiannian is impressive, invited by Great Xia TV. The others are all senior artists.]
“Has Teacher Xu heard who the last regular guest is?” A female colleague sat beside Xu Jiannian and whispered, “I asked the assistant director several times, but couldn’t get an answer. He said it’s supposed to be a surprise.”
Xu Jiannian simply smiled and didn’t answer the question, “We’ll find out soon enough.”
The girl pursed her lips.
Xu Jiannian had risen to fame a couple of years ago with a popular ancient-style fantasy drama.
In the drama, he played a supreme being from the realm of immortals, and his handsome appearance, along with his flawless portrayal of a tragically beautiful character, skyrocketed him to fame overnight, cementing him as a top-tier celebrity.
Xu Jiannian’s schedule was booked solid until the following year, and he had secured numerous luxury brand endorsements.
If it weren’t for Great Xia TV, no other variety show could afford to invite him.
Before joining this program, the girl’s agent had already advised her that advancing further in the film and TV industry would require building a good relationship with Xu Jiannian. [Curious about the last guest, such a mystery.]
[It’s not a mystery, just late.]
[Let’s see who’s got more clout than Xu Jianian, the top star, and even Teacher
Yuan.]
At that moment, a staff member called out, “They’re here!”
Xu Jiannian and the girl looked up, following the direction of the voice.
“Come, come, let’s meet our new friend,” the assistant director approached with a beaming smile. “Si Fuqing, only eighteen years old, still a child. Please take good care of her, everyone.”
Si Fuqing slowly emerged from behind him.
The camera focused on her, giving her a close-up shot.
She lifted her head slightly, her neck gracefully elongated.
Her eyes and brows conveyed a sense of nonchalance, exuding an effortless charm.
Dressed in casual sportswear, her distinguished aura was still unmistakable. The live feed momentarily froze, then suddenly exploded with activity.
[Wow! My wife, my wife, my wife!
[Oh my god, I actually came to watch Jiannian, and here I see my darling Qingqing! Ah, I’m losing my mind!]
[Qingqing’s here? The program’s ratings are secured, super excited!]
[Uh, maybe I’m too old, but I don’t recognize these new stars. Who is she? She does look good.]
Si Fuqing’s fan base mostly consisted of young students, and she had only participated in one talent show.
The reach of talent shows naturally wasn’t as extensive as that of TV dramas.
At the same level, variety stars’ national recognition was far less than that of film and TV actors, not to mention the loyalty of their fans.
The final episode of ‘Youth With You’ hadn’t aired the recorded version; most of the clips circulating online were of the segment where Xie Yu and the others were invited by Su Yang and Roz Rieg.
As a result, Si Fuqing’s popularity was somewhat overshadowed.
[Si Fuqing, dance mentor of ‘Youth With You’, the new top star, Xie Yu, was trained by her.]
[A variety star, got it.]
[Not to be rude, but look at the other guests on this show: Teacher Yuan
Heping, a national-level actor, veteran of the stage, has won the Golden Eagle
Award for Best Actor; Ms. Shen Xiuwen, a respected artist; Xu Jiannian, a top male star; Qi Shuning, Great Xia TV’s newly selected host, a graduate of Great Xia University’s in broadcasting; even Ning Luoyao was nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for Best Newcomer last year.
I really want to know how Si Fuqing, a popularity-based idol, got mixed in with these people. In terms of experience, you’re not enough; in terms of talent, even less so. What qualifies you to be on the same show with them?]
[Can’t really believe that just because she led ‘Youth With You’ and brought up a top star, she’s now on par with the real talents of the entertainment industry.. Why weren’t you the one invited to Glenn?]
