My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 77
Su Qixi’s actions completely stunned everyone. Even the other guests in the store were staring at her, completely at a loss for how to react.
The comments on the screen were even wilder, completely covering the entire screen.
Qiu Mingyi stared at Su Qixi as she returned from the front hall. He opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Su Qixi’s calm expression, he couldn’t speak.
Probably noticing his hesitation, Su Qixi asked him, “What’s wrong, senior?”
The words at the tip of Qiu Mingyi’s tongue turned into, “Well done.”
Only then did Su Qixi smile. “Thank you.”
After Su Qixi left, the front hall suddenly became lively again. Everyone’s eyes were constantly darting toward Su Qixi, but she pretended not to notice.
She turned and sat down on the rest chair behind the counter. She was actually a bit in a daze. The anger she felt while secretly reading the comments and the courage to post on Weibo were slowly calming down as time passed, and her rationality was also slowly returning.
She didn’t regret what she did. In fact, she felt that she should have done it a long time ago.
However, once her rationality returned, she also felt a little scared and guilty. What she did was impulsive and would cause trouble for the people around her.
She took out her phone and, sure enough, saw more than ten missed calls from Xiong Jingjing and more than 20 voice messages. Su Qixi probably knew what she was going to say. She gave a bitter smile and put her phone away.
“You’re quite bold,” Yimei’er said, who had unknowingly stood beside her, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. Unexpectedly, her voice wasn’t filled with anger.
Su Qixi stiffened and gave her a fawning smile. Yimei’er pretended not to see it and looked directly toward the front hall. “After what you did, Sister Xiong is going to be very busy.”
Su Qixi lowered her head and said softly, “But I don’t want to hide.” Although when she was rational, she knew that a moment’s impulsiveness would cause trouble for herself and the people around her.
Zhuo Zitou, who had only heard half the conversation, spoke to the two of them. “Go upstairs and rest. We’ll be fine downstairs.”
Su Qixi looked at Zhuo Zitou apologetically. “I’m sorry, senior.”
Zhuo Zitou gave a wry smile. Her eyes softened. She said, “You did a great job, Qixi. You did very well.”
Su Qixi: “I’ve caused you trouble.”
Zhuo Zitou sighed and told Su Qixi, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too. When you consider everyone, you inevitably can’t consider Lin Mo.”
Su Qixi was stunned. On the other side, Wu Qingqing also sighed. “Yes! You’re braver than us. We should learn from you. Senior, don’t worry about me. I’ve been through every kind of storm.”
Jiang Lun also said, “Why should you care about us? This is between you and Lin Mo. This little bit of trouble is something I, as your friend, should be willing to take. There’s no helping it. Who told me I have such a good relationship with Lin Mo?”
Su Qixi only felt her eyes sting with unspeakable gratitude.
Even Yun Yue, who didn’t like to talk much, also said with a faint smile, “Go and rest.”
Su Qixi nodded and said softly, “Thank you, everyone.”
Yimei’er sighed and turned to leave. “I’ll see you upstairs.”
Yun Yue’s eyes flashed, and she called out to Yimei’er. “Mei’er.”
Yimei’er was stunned and looked back at her. Yun Yue looked directly at Yimei’er and said softly, “In a relationship, it’s often impossible to control your rationality. Senior Su has probably been holding back for a long time. This is a good thing for her, too.”
Yimei’er gave a wry laugh, her eyes slightly narrowed. “You’ve already been hurt once, and you still dare to think this way.”
But Yun Yue gave a faint smile. She wasn’t a person who liked to smile, but she used to be a gentle person. She had been trapped in that relationship and started to self-deprecate until she buried all her emotions.
Now, everything was over. Yun Yue should live in this world with a clear conscience.
Yun Yue said, “I understand now. I wasn’t the one who was wrong.”
Yimei’er was stunned. In the end, she still nodded and said, “I understand. I wasn’t going to scold her.” Then she laughed. “Am I so unreasonable in your eyes?”
Yun Yue paused and shook her head. Her soft hair swayed with her movement, and the expression on her face was tense.
Yimei’er gave a humored laugh and led Su Qixi upstairs.
On the other side, Feng Ye, looking at the audience who were still trying to squeeze into the live stream, was also stunned.
What? Aren’t you supposed to pick a good day to go public? This is so sudden.
He had people control the troublemaking fans outside and had more people monitor the live stream. He tried his best to stabilize the live stream as quickly as possible.
Then his assistant, who had gone out, suddenly ran back, shouting, “Director Feng, good news, good news!”
Feng Ye was still dazed and asked in confusion, “Good news? Do we still have good news? Is it because Actress Su went public?”
After Lin Mo’s incident, ‘The Home Inn’ was also affected to some extent.
First, there was Qi Youxuan, and then Lin Mo. The TV station had already shown signs of not wanting ‘The Home Inn’ to be broadcast on satellite TV after ‘Jedi Survival.’ They wanted to move the time to late at night.
Although he knew about Lin Mo’s situation, all the people he invited this time were big names, and he was prepared to attract fans. He also thought that if he cleared the relationship in time, the impact wouldn’t be too great.
But he didn’t expect Lin Mo to become so popular.
The traffic was too big, and even the show was targeted. During this time, with so many things happening, Feng Ye was under a lot of pressure.
What good news could there be?
The assistant said with a smile, “The TV station we’re working with said they hope we can get ready as soon as possible. ‘Jedi Survival’ is ending this week, and they hope to broadcast the first episode of ‘The Home Inn’ next week. In addition, two or three other TV stations are already approaching us. They also want to broadcast ‘The Home Inn.'”
Feng Ye was shocked. “Huh?” Su Qixi’s single Weibo post had that much power?
The assistant said happily, “Actress Su has already gone public with her relationship. With this kind of traffic, Lin Mo’s debt is no longer a big problem in their eyes.”
Feng Ye gave a wry laugh. “She’s still a discredited person. If we start broadcasting, we’ll be reported in minutes.”
The assistant: “So, their current condition is that Lin Mo’s debt must be paid off first. We can’t edit Lin Mo out of the show. They also said that if we let their people edit it, they’re willing to help Lin Mo pay back five million yuan.”
Feng Ye: “…Damn it, their intentions are so obvious!”
Su Qixi directly said that they didn’t break up, which meant they were already dating for a long time. With a camera on them 24 hours a day, it’s hard to say what kind of scenes they have.
The assistant was excited and asked with a mischievous grin, “Should we sell her? Let’s sell her!!!”
Feng Ye gave him a glare. “You think the contract is just for show? What can and can’t be edited is all written in the contract. Besides, regarding Lin Mo’s debt, Lin Mo didn’t even want help from Actress Su. Would she want it from others?”
The assistant: “Then… what should we do?”
Feng Ye scoffed. “Broadcast it or not, I don’t care.”
Now several TV stations are begging us to broadcast it. The power is in my hands. Hmph!
Traffic is indeed the king!!!
On the internet, the comments about Su Qixi going public had gone insane.
While Lin Mo was scrolling through the comments, she was listening to Zhang Rongyi on the phone sighing, “It really is a pleasant surprise after all the challenges.”
Lin Mo: “Sorry for the trouble.”
Zhang Rongyi said with a smile, “It’s no trouble at all. In any case, work hard! I’m also looking forward to our cooperation.”
Lin Mo then went to the stock market page, looked at the rising stocks, and said with a smile, “Okay. I believe we’ll meet again in less than two days.”
Zhang Rongyi: “I hope so.” If she could really make money in just a few days, Lin Mo’s ability was truly extraordinary!
After they finished talking, the debt collector from the loan company called again and asked Lin Mo, “I heard you’ve paid off two companies? Do you have money to pay off my company, too?”
Lin Mo: “I’ll transfer the money to you this afternoon, including the interest for these past few years. It’ll all be included. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to court to apply to have the case withdrawn. They’ll probably send someone to investigate and verify it, and I’ll need you to help me testify.”
When the man heard that she was even paying back the interest for all these years, his eyes lit up, and his tone instantly improved. “Really? You’ll pay the interest, too?”
Lin Mo nodded. “However, I’ll only calculate it at one percent interest. Is that okay with you?”
The man was stunned. One percent interest? A loan company would encounter many people who didn’t pay back their money every year. After being owed for a long time, they were usually satisfied with just getting the principal back. Getting a little bit of interest was just a bonus.
This Lin Mo was actually willing to calculate a proper one percent interest. Wow, does this feel like I’ve made a profit?
But he didn’t want to show his excitement, so he acted as if he was in a difficult position.
Lin Mo wasn’t in a hurry. She said with a smile, “If you haven’t decided yet, that’s fine. We can talk in person. I’ll pay off the other companies first.”
When the man heard this, he quickly said, “Hey, hey, hey, I can do it! You’re a trustworthy person, and I believe you. One percent it is. Although we initially agreed on two percent interest, I can see that you’re a person of great importance. Let’s just consider this a favor and call us friends.”
Lin Mo didn’t say anything but just smiled and said, “Then thank you. Please send your card number to this phone number.”
The man said happily, “Okay, okay, okay.”
After dealing with this company, the other companies also called one after another. Lin Mo naturally recorded all the calls and had Liu Nuannuan transfer the money to each company’s card number.
In fact, during this time, besides Zhang Yin, Lin Mo also had small gambling agreements with several other rich second-generation heirs. Coupled with the commission from the 500 million yuan she invested in the stock market, she had enough money to pay off all her debts from the past few years. She also had her salary from filming ‘The Home Inn.’
At the very least, before her cooperation with Zhang Rongyi, Lin Mo was not short of money.
As for the 500 million yuan in the stock market, Lin Mo was only the operator. Although she got a commission, it wasn’t much. This was just a performance for Lin Mo to show her abilities to the various CEOs.
She picked up her iPad, and Lin Mo started to look at the business maps of various companies in Europe. To expand overseas, she naturally had to understand the situation there.
Right now, she could only get a general idea through the computer. If she really did take over Zhang Rongyi’s overseas business, she would definitely have to go there to investigate the market.
But as she was looking, Lin Mo thought of Su Qixi again. She wondered what she was doing now. Was she being scolded?
She had just seen that she wasn’t in the live stream, so Lin Mo simply took out her phone and video-called Su Qixi.
The call was answered quickly, but Lin Mo immediately saw Su Qixi’s slightly red eyes. Her wronged expression made Lin Mo pause. “Why are you crying?”
Su Qixi shook her head. “I’m not crying. But Mei’er scolded me. You’re not going to scold me, too, are you?”
Lin Mo was stunned, then she laughed. “Why would I scold you?”
Su Qixi looked at her suspiciously. “Really? You don’t think I was impulsive?”
Lin Mo smiled slightly. “Of course not! You’re a person of emotion and righteousness. You protected me so well today. I’m very happy.”
Only then did Su Qixi smile. She glanced at Yimei’er triumphantly.
Yimei’er was so mad she almost fainted. “What’s that look for?”
Su Qixi shrank her neck. “A look of showing off. I have a wife, and you don’t.”
Yimei’er: “…” How infuriating.
Lin Mo, on the other end of the phone, probably heard this and started laughing.
Yimei’er was so angry she laughed. She asked Lin Mo, “What are you laughing at? Did you pay off all your money?”
She thought she was making things difficult for Lin Mo, but Lin Mo answered calmly, “Yes, I did. In three days, my disreputable record will be removed.”
Yimei’er was stunned. “You paid it off?”
Lin Mo: “Mhm. I told you, I could pay it off.”
Yimei’er was a little impressed with her this time. Since she had investigated Lin Mo last time, Lin Mo still had no assets. It had only been a month since the show started filming. How did she make nearly ten million yuan to pay off her debts?
This was pretty impressive, no matter how you looked at it.
But…
Yimei’er sighed again. “Today, the internet is scolding you, calling you a hoodlum. Now, the fact that you’re only a high school graduate is also a problem.” The companies were all trying to bring her down. It was no longer just about her being a deadbeat.
Lin Mo: “But I did take the college entrance exam that year.”
Yimei’er: “What???” So what if she took it? She didn’t get in, right?
Su Qixi opened her big, round, black eyes and looked at Yimei’er. “In the past, Lin Mo was ranked first in her school. She was so far ahead of everyone else.”
Yimei’er’s heart skipped a beat, and she became a little suspicious. “So what?”
Su Qixi smiled slightly. “You have no idea how powerful Lin Mo is!”
At the same time, because of Su Qixi’s public announcement, Weibo had crashed for an hour. After the company’s hard work, it was finally accessible again.
On the trending topics, “Qilin Official Announcement” (Explosion) was still at the top.
The Qilin fan page gained more than 300,000 fans in a matter of seconds. Even Liu Nuannuan’s Weibo gained more than 100,000 fans.
The momentum of Qilin had reached a crazy level. All the companies watched as they broke the records of all other couples and became the couple with the most fans. They watched as they gained the most fans in the shortest amount of time.
Immediately, everyone sent out a large number of bots to the internet to try to stir up trouble.
[Aaaaaah, Qilin is the best!]
[Boo hoo hoo, mom, I’ve found the real one.]
[Shipping Qilin is so blissful, boo hoo hoo…]
[Does anyone still remember that Lin Mo is a high school graduate?]
[That’s the scary part! How is she worthy?]
[Actress Su, wake up!]
[She’s a deadbeat and an academic loser. Actress Su, what do you even like about her? Break up with her! Please.]
[What did she get on her college entrance exam? She can’t even get into a vocational college. It’s a joke.]
And it was at this moment that a netizen named Qin Ke stood up. He also posted on Weibo. He said: [What are you laughing at? That year, Lin Mo was—the top student in the province.
