The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 410

It wasn't yet time for school to end, but parents were already lining up outside the gates of the Di Du Ty Kindergarten. This kindergarten had a rule that parents picking up children after school could not gather disorderly at the school gates, but had to line up in orderly queues on both sides of the gates according to the order of their arrival.

Today was a little different. There were many reporters and media people standing not too far away, taking photos - and they were all focused on the parent at the front of the queue wearing a red knee-length dress. Not only was her outfit eye-catching, but her jewelry was also shockingly expensive, and her makeup and styling seemed to be specially done up, as if she hadn't come to pick up her child but rather to attend a grand banquet.

It was only three o'clock now, still quite some time before school ended, and there weren't many parents who had arrived yet. So some bolder members of the media, seeing that the security guards hadn't noticed them, rushed over to do a live interview with this parent -

Reporter: "Teacher Qin, sorry to bother you, but could you confirm that you've come today as agreed to pick up your child actor Hongdou after school?"

Qin Wei nodded: "I've come to pick up my son after school."

Reporter: "Why are you dressed so formally?"

Comments:

[At the White Eagle Awards her outfit was still too lowkey, if this lady had worn something like this to the event, she would have easily outshone everyone there!]

[The White Eagle Awards were for good friends to take the spotlight, of course she had to let them stand out, what's wrong with that?]

[Dressing like that just to pick up your kid, I can only laugh]

Qin Wei replied:

"I heard that Zhou Zihan's dad is also coming. To give my son some face, I can't lose from head to toe - my son needs to know his mom won't lose out to Zhou Zihan's dad. For this showdown, I have to win!"

Comments:

[Qin Wei fans apologize on her behalf, she meant no offense to Zhou Zihan's dad]

[Qin Wei fans kowtow to Zhou Zihan's dad - don't take an idiot's words seriously]

[Qin Wei fans say sorry to Zhou Zihan's whole family - our goose Er Lu is just a kid]

[Qin Wei fans apologize to Li Yuqing's mom - our cub has just been brainwashed by some forums]

[Who's that?]

...

Reporter: "You're wearing Qiao's ring out, does she know about this?"

Comments:

[How can you even tell?]

[DB's women's imperial collection, worth millions. Qiao is the ambassador, as an expression of appreciation for their ambassador the brand custom made this ring for her birthday present. All her fans know about it, many choose it as their wedding ring to let the brand know it was worthwhile.]

[Qiao Xiao: I know about it now, she's renting it from me for 10k a day]

Oh, Qin Wei had no idea - she had just randomly grabbed it when changing clothes at home from her jewelry stand, she didn't realize it was so expensive.

Qin Wei casually replied: "Oh she knows, she knows about it.

Don't look at the others, those are all mine."

Just then the security guard came over, glaring fiercely as if he wanted to kill someone.

But the reporter still wanted to ask one last question before his death:

"How did you get ahold of this ring...hey! Don't grab me! You're just a security guard...I'm going, I'm going..."

Comments:

[The reason is unknown to casual fans but known to shippers]

[Can you really say that?]

[Oh you can you can...]

[Casual fans don't know because they only pay attention to their own idol]

[Oh, that's not it...]

[Wow...]

[Very wow...]

The livestream could now only film from a distance across the street. Many parents who don't normally pick up their kids had also arrived early to line up after seeing the livestream. There was still half an hour before school ended, but both sides of the designated pickup area outside the school gates were already filled with long queues, looking more spectacular than usual.

Qin Wei herself was unaffected, still standing straight with perfect posture at the very front of the line.

Half an hour later, school ended. All the children streamed out of the teaching building in lines organized by their teachers.

"Qiao Ruiyan! Your mother...eh? Oh! Your mother is here to pick you up!"

The teacher called Qin Hongdou's name first, and all the other children gazed at him enviously -

Vanity among children meant that whoever's parents arrived first and were dressed the most beautifully deserved envy.

Carrying his little backpack, Hongdou raised his hand high up and shouted goodbye to his teacher before skipping gleefully over to Qin Wei.

And Qin Wei was fully committed to the look - high heels and a long dress made it easy for her to lift him up.

"You've gotten heavier, bean sprout!"

Qin Wei could still feel that although she could carry him, he was much heavier compared to a few months ago.

"Are we still waiting for Zhou Zihan's dad?"

Qin Hongdou shook his head, fiddling absently with Qin Wei's diamond earrings.

"You look so pretty, don't let his dad see, let him watch it on TV. Let's go home."

Once they got in the car, Qin Hongdou's gaze landed on the teddy bear buckling its seatbelt. He pointed at it:

"Who's this?"

Qin Wei told him:

"It's my darling, I brought it specially to see you."

Little Wang: "..."

Hongdou had a serious expression:

"Did you give birth to it? Who's its dad?"

Qin Wei denied it:

"Oh no, I didn't give birth to it, I adopted it. I can't produce this kind of thing."

Qin Hongdou patted its little paw and called out:

"Sister, how come she doesn't respond to me?"

Qin Wei: "She's still small, she can't talk yet."

Qin Hongdou turned to look at her, telling her earnestly:

"Are you silly? It can't talk because it's a bear, bears can't speak human language."

Qin Wei frowned: "Then why did you ask me?"

Qin Hongdou sighed: "I was just playing with you!"

Little Liu: "..."

Qin Hongdou asked again: "Does it have a name?"

Having learned her lesson, Qin Wei asked back: "Does it need a name?"

Qin Hongdou nodded: "Zhou Zihan's dad said even his split ends have names, so the bear can also have a name."

Qin Wei: "..............."

"Can you help me give it a name then?"

Qin Wei asked him.

Qin Hongdou nodded:

"Call it Ju An."

Qin Wei was confused: "Juan? Juan? Juan? Qin Juan?"

Qin Hongdou's little mouth twisted. "Ju An."

Qin Wei was still confused.

The two assistants couldn't stand it anymore and told her in unison:

"Ju An - Ju meaning reside, An meaning safe!!!"

Only then did Qin Wei finally understand, otherwise she would've kept wondering why her little bear was named Qin Juan.

"Oh. Any reason for it?"

Qin Hongdou: "Why is Diga called Diga?"

Qin Wei shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

"You don't know why either, but does that affect him being called Diga?"

That made a lot of sense!

...

Since she had committed to the act, Qin Wei had to follow through fully by taking Hongdou out for afternoon tea, then accompanying him to watch a children's movie. They were photographed the entire time by the media, presenting heartwarming family scenes.

It was getting late, so Assistant Liu took Hongdou back to his grandmother's house and Little Wang was responsible for sending Qin Wei back home.

On the way back, Yuan Xintong sent her a message:

[Yuan Xintong: Qin Wei, are you available tomorrow? If you're not, then the day after tomorrow.]

[Qin Wei: ?? I'm free, what's the matter?]

[Yuan Xintong: The role of Zhao Yu has been announced as you, so it definitely has to be you. But there's too much competition for the role and some artists with stronger backings aren't convinced, there's a lot of controversy. I'm willing to protect you, can you prove yourself?]

[Qin Wei: I can't]

[Yuan Xintong: !!??]

[Qin Wei: I don't have a strong background]

[Yuan Xintong: Qin Wei don't give up so easily! How can you not have a background! Your background is our company!]

[Yuan Xintong: I just received word from Song Huan...alright, the suburban outdoor training yard, come in athletic wear. I'll send you the exact location and timing later, tomorrow. Use your capability to shut up certain people.]

[Qin Wei: Ah this...]

[Yuan Xintong: There's a Michelin restaurant nearby, they make amazing fillet steak. Hot tip - you can eat steak in moderation while cutting fat.]

[Qin Wei: ! Remember to send me the address]
