Chapter 513: Wen Meng's Plan, Qi Fei Goes to the Capital City

Exhausted, Qi Fei lay on the bed and finally noticed her phone screen was filled with unread messages. Most were congratulatory, while a few were asking about the situation.

Qi Fei first replied to her mom’s message, promising to come home for the National Day holiday, which was the only way to get her chattering mother to let her off the hook.

Qi Fei then replied to Song Qin: “Well, well! I’m surprised someone so in love still has time to think of me!”

Wu Yun had already told Qi Fei that Song Qin and Wang Gang had hit it off, so when Qi Fei had pressed her about it a while back, Song Qin admitted that she and Wang Gang were indeed dating.

“You’re teasing me again!” Song Qin replied with a pouting emoji before continuing, “I’m just envious of you! You’re already steps ahead of everyone in our class, and even the entire student body!”

Qi Fei sent an eye-roll emoji back. “What’s there to be envious of? Your Wang Gang is so rich! Just focus on being a wealthy man’s wife and enjoying the good life!”

“That’s his family’s money! Besides, if I didn’t dream of being an actress, why would I have bothered getting into the drama academy?!”

Qi Fei watched the spot next to Song Qin’s name. The “typing…” indicator would appear for a moment, then disappear, then reappear again.

When no message came through after a while, Qi Fei instantly understood that there was something her friend was hesitant to say, or perhaps she even wanted to ask for a favor.

So, she took the initiative and sent a message: “Are you trying to ask if Xiaoyunzi has any suitable roles?”

Song Qin replied with an embarrassed emoji, saying, “Yeah! We don’t have as many resources as you! Your first show isn’t even done airing, and you’ve already finished filming your second one!”

“To be honest, I thought about talking to Wang Gang about it, but we only just made our relationship official. It would make me look like I only got close to him for his resources!”

Qi Fei turned her head and glanced at the bathroom, where the light was still on. The sound of water from the shower head splashing onto the floor hadn’t stopped.

So Qi Fei replied, “That’s a real concern! And from what Xiaoyunzi told me, his family is in the chemical industry. Even if they’re rich, they’re outsiders to our circle. They don’t have any resources unless he’s willing to spend a fortune to invest in a project for you.”

“If I hadn’t met Xiaoyunzi, my dad was planning to pull some strings and spend money to get me some resources!”

Song Qin replied, “That’s why it’s not just me! Everyone else in our class is so envious of you!”

Qi Fei thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t want to bother Xiaoyunzi too much, either. How about this, Qin Qin! Don’t worry, the second season of The Immortal Ascension will probably start filming at the end of the year!”

“Right now, your main task is to study hard and improve your professional skills. As for an audition opportunity, I’m sure I can help secure one if I ask.”

Song Qin sent a “fighting!” emoji and said, “Okay! I’ll definitely study hard! When school starts, you have to practice scenes with me more often!”

After chatting with Song Qin a little longer, Qi Fei finally opened her Weibo and found that her unread messages were at 99+.

Qi Fei had created her Weibo account a long time ago. She used to post about her college life and share travel photos, and even then, she had managed to gain over ten thousand followers.

Her follower count had seen a small bump after the release of Wolf Warrior, but it still hadn’t broken twenty thousand.

Unexpectedly, in just the few hours since her TV show had aired, the online buzz had caused her follower count to jump by fifty thousand.

Qi Fei ignored the private messages asking for her contact information and focused on replying one by one to congratulatory messages from fans. She also took the time to reply to their comments on her older Weibo posts.

Gleefully, Qi Fei turned to share her excitement with Wen Meng, only to find that Wen Meng had already drifted off to sleep.

She smiled, put down her phone, and as exhaustion washed over her, she too quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When Wu Yun came out of the shower, he found the two of them were already sound asleep.

—————–

As more and more netizens went online asking for information about Qi Fei, Modu Phoenix Entertainment worked overnight to post reminders on its official website and Weibo that Qi Fei was a signed artist with Phoenix Entertainment. At the same time, they rode the wave of her newfound popularity to promote The Immortal Ascension.

“Qi Fei is an outstanding young actress signed with our company. Her personal profile is as follows!”

…

“Please give her your support and follow her career!”

“Please look forward to Qi Fei’s starring role in The Immortal Ascension One! It is scheduled to air in November or December of this year!”

「The next morning.」

After finishing his workout and nodding to a few familiar neighbors who were also at the gym, Wu Yun walked out of the fitness club.

When he returned home, Aunt Wang had already set breakfast on the table.

“Aunt Wang! Are Feifei and the others not up yet?”

Aunt Wang poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled. “Mr. Wu, I’m not sure. Miss Qi messaged me last night and told me not to wake them. It looks like they wanted to sleep in!”

“Mr. Wu, just let me know when Miss Qi and the other young lady are up! I’ll bring their breakfast out!”

Wu Yun nodded. “Alright! Thanks, Aunt Wang. I’ll let you get back to it.”

Wu Yun first peeked into the master bedroom. Seeing that they were both still fast asleep, he didn’t disturb them and gently closed the door.

Wu Yun ate his breakfast while reviewing a report that had been sent to his phone.

Just as he finished eating, he heard a door open behind him. Qi Fei and Wen Meng emerged, yawning.

Wu Yun immediately pressed the call bell that had been installed for convenience, and Aunt Wang quickly came out from the kitchen with their breakfast.

“Xiaoyunzi! Are you an ox or something? I still feel sore all over!” Qi Fei said, rubbing her waist.

Wu Yun chuckled and put down his chopsticks. “That’s because you haven’t been training enough! You don’t have much going on for the first month of the semester, so you’re going to continue with the combat lessons and private fitness sessions I signed you up for! After that episode last night, I’m sure your action skills have caught the eyes of many directors!”
