Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 58: Great Success

Although his eyes were murky as rage surged within, Su Mushi kept up with appearances. “Why would I have any regrets? It has nothing to do with me when filming and broadcasting commence.”

Utterly outrageous!

Even God was getting in his way!

There was nobody pouring six hundred million in investment when he took a look at the script.

No one told him it was a weekly broadcast when he turned down the script.

As a qualified bad friend, Yu Qiubai regrettably shook his head and smiled. “I’d be kicking myself with regret if I were you.”

Su Mushi coldly scoffed before speaking through clenched teeth. “There’s plenty of series filmed in China every year and less than a third of them make the cut. It’s only one out of a million that will be a hit. We’ll only know if it’s a hit after the series is shot.”

Yu Qiubai cocked a brow. “What if it becomes a hit?”

Seeing red, Su Mushi’s eyes sizzling in flames. “Are you deliberately getting into it with me?”

Yu Qiubai nonchalantly twirled the pencil in his hand. “It’s just a joke. Why are you getting worked up for?”

Of course, Su Mushi was filled with regret but there was no way he would admit to it.

He had bemoaned his decision when it was officially announced of new investors.

News of the weekly broadcast had him crying internally with regret.

The international class celebrated like it was the new year. It was not known whose idea it was, but the class was decorated with colorful balloons, as though it was the bedroom of newlyweds.

Shen Xi felt that with the addition of two bunches of firecrackers, she could be sent to the boudoir for her wedding night.

Song Wenye commented, “Lil Xixi, you were great. I’m proud and thrilled for your sake.”

The besties who came along yesterday to cheer Shen Xi were all there, happy for her more so than if they had won.

“I caught wind that the top class went ballistic.” Liu Ying happily clapped her hands.”

“I know, right? Su Ruowan must be boiling.”

“She must be tooting her horn about her dance moves. Su Ruowan sure has the balls to say that Xixi only won because she dropped out of the competition. I wonder where she gets her confidence from?” Zhou Li gave a look of disdain.

“That’s right. She should take a look at the competition. Ms. Shu Baiyu’s top student, Guan Ye was there as well.” Yang Yitong nodded.

Anyway, it was not as though they cared or knew who Su Ruowan was.

Shen Xi was really awe-inspiring. She could do it all herself, makeup, styling, even the dance costume.

Their idol right now was Shen Xi.

Having heard about Shen Xi’s great success yesterday, the other students of the international class were completely swept off their feet by admiration.

Even Song Wenye and Alpha Xu became her sidekicks. Without another word, they were now her sidekicks’ sidekicks.

“Let me tell you another exciting news.” Pei Xu positioned both feet on the table and leaned back like a major alpha male. He also had a cigarette in his mouth.

Repelled by the smell of tobacco, Shen Xi swept him a glance.

Pei Xu quickly put the cigarette down and kicked Lin Ge in the butt. “I’m going to quit smoking. Who told you to give me a cigarette? Hand me some gum.”

Lin Ge swiftly passed over some gum.

Pei Xu folded the cigarette in half before formidably tossing it into the bin. He then began the speech in a leisure manner. “Do you know about “The Smiling Nation”? The TV series that’s said to have brought in six hundred million worth of investment.”

“Duh.” Song Wenye’s eyes were sparkling. “It’s adapted from my favorite novel of my favorite author.”

The girls of the international class knew that Song Wenye would bug them into reading whatever she liked. They had read the book and fell in love as well.
