Ah Nan didn’t think the live stream he had suggested would cause a splash on the well-known gossip forum, Melon.

[I want to know what is the skill level of the fried rice that female actress surnamed X made today]
The responses were colorful to say the least.
—[Her culinary skills are average, but watching her did make me hungry]
—[Surname X? Aren’t you referring to that vase, Xiang Yi? What, did she throw a crying fit again?]
—[On a separate note, her face is really pretty. Even if she likes to cry, I still like her face]
—[Leeching fame from Shi Yingdi wasn’t enough for her, she’s even fishing for likes now in the comments. She must really love to promote things]
—[F***, why did I have itchy hands and search up a rebroadcast. I was on a diet and skipping dinner, but I just ordered fried rice for take out and happily ate it while watching the stream…]

At this time, Ah Nan was lying on a rocking chair, clutching a clear salad bowl. Inside were the frozen watermelon chunks Xiang Yi had scooped out. He didn’t know what species of watermelon this was, but it not only tasted sweet, but it had very little seeds too. Ah Nan was too lazy to spit the seeds out anyway as he continued to stuff his mouth, unable to stop.

Next to him sat Xiang Yi, reading a book under a woolen blanket. Her delicate eyebrows were drooping, and the hair that she had dyed back to black at some point was tied up in a bun with several loose strands spilling out along her side burns. It looked more youthful and girly than the deliberate pigtails she used to wear.

Ah Nan’s stomach was churning by the time he remembered why he came by today.
“Hehe, my dear, you’ve been resting for a week already. How about we perk up and work hard and take some jobs for a few days?”
In terms of ability, Ah Nan was definitely not the most outstanding manager. However, he had a patient temperament and was willing to coax people. Several young idols wanted him as their manager.
Xiang Yi flipped the pages of the book in her hands and softly said, “I’ve already prepared a lawyer and a breach of contract payment.”
When her uncle heard that she wanted to leave the entertainment circle, he had quickly sent her the contact information of the Xiang Family’s private lawyer.
The contract she had signed could be considered a one-sided contract. If she had a good lawyer, the liquidated damages wouldn’t cost an absurd 100 million, and her own money would be enough to cover it.

However, her uncle had sent her some money, regardless. She approximated that he probably sent her all his private savings.
Ah Nan was stunned. “You…You really want to leave the industry? You almost cut ties with your family trying to get into the entertainment industry… Isn’t becoming an idol your dream?”
Xiang Yi shook her head.

Perhaps it had been the dream of the one occupying her body, but to her, she had just basked in the attention and popularity received from being an entertainer but hadn’t been diligent toward the actual conducts of the business. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a joke of herself and degenerated into a variety show personality.
As he spoke, Ah Nan’s phone rang. After picking up and listening for a bit, he looked toward Xiang Yi. “It’s Director Li. He says he wants to speak to you.”
Xaing Yi indisputably responded.
Ah Nan turned on the speaker and heard Director Li’s voice, high on adrenaline.
“MISS XIANG YI, I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO PARTNER WITH SHI YINGDI AND ATTEND THE FILMING OF MY VARIETY SHOW!”
