Chapter 116: Why Didn’t She Leave?
Translator: Zayn_
In addition to Shen Xiyan, there was another person who was also extremely angry.
It was Zhu Jiao, who was ranked 44th from the bottom[l] behind Song Qingyou.
Zhu Jiao was the second female lead in the drama “Time.” She was almost promoted to the A-list.
Success had been right in front of them, but “Time” was criticized badly. After Qiu Yu was banned, the drama was directly taken off the shelves!
Not only had Zhu Jiao’s year of hard work gone to waste, but her influence ranking had also dropped!
Now that she was ranked behind Song Qingyou, she was already full of anger.
She did not expect to hear all kinds of discussions in the car, such as:
“Song Qingyou’s looks are so good, she’s a natural superstar.”
“Hurry up and take a few more photos. It shouldn’t be a problem for it to get on the trending searches, let alone the headlines.”
“Her style is awesome too. I just can’t tell which brand the gown is from.”
Zhu Jiao’s face turned darker and darker as she listened to these words.
Usually, when celebrities rolled down their windows at the entrance of the red carpet, they hoped that the media would take photos of them.
These people were casually taking photos of the passing artistes while still reminiscing about Song Qingyou’s style.
Zhu Jiao felt indignant and urged the driver to drive faster.
“Sister Jiaojiao, are you feeling unwell?” The assistant was puzzled.
Otherwise, why was she acting so strangely today?
Every time Zhu Jiao walked the red carpet, she would spend three days and three nights on it! Trying to slow down as much as she could!
“Don’t worry about it.”
Zhu Jiao said with a straight face.
She wanted to see how good-looking Song Qingyou was!
The car quickly stopped at the entrance. Before the staff could open the door, Zhu Jiao got out herself.
Song Qingyou was being interviewed.
In addition to her, Zhao Yingnan was also on stage.
The host originally wanted to stir up the topic. When the two of them stood up, Kong Ying first handed the microphone to Zhao Yingnan.
“Yingnan saw that it was Qingyou behind her, so she specially waited for her. But Qingyou is extraordinarily beautiful tonight. Does Yingnan regret it?”
Kong Ying spoke in a joking tone, and it did not make people feel bad.
Zhao Yingnan was already a veteran in interviews. She immediately said, “Of course I regret it. If 1 had known that Qingyou was so beautiful, 1 wouldn’t have waited for her on the red carpet! Walking with such a beautiful woman is quite stressful.”
Zhao Yingnan’s generous admission was better than any official answer.
Qin Gu asked again,” We all know that when Qingyou came here last year, she was still a nobody. This year, she has made everyone look at her in a different light. Will Sister Yingnan feel strange?”
Zhao Yingnan smiled.
“If it was someone else, I can’t guarantee it, but if it’s Qingyou, I wouldn’t have such a feeling. I sincerely hope that she can get better and better.”
“Speaking of which, I’m still in Brother Jiang’s fan group. I should be considered a fan of Qingyou!”
When they heard that Jiang Xuyan had created a fan group, Kong Ying and Qin Gu were very curious.
“Does Qingyou know that they created a group?”
“I’m in the group too.” Song Qingyou nodded.
There weren’t many true friends in the industry, but Song Qingyou and Zhao Yingnan were very close.
Before the two of them could finish their interview, Zhu Jiao had already sped up and arrived at the stage in a hurry.
When she saw Song Qingyou, her eyes seemed to be burned and she instantly retracted her gaze.
The idea of sharing the stage with Song Qingyou suddenly disappeared.
– Nonsense! Didn’t you see that Zhao Yingnan didn’t seem to have any sense of existence?
When Zhu Jiao stopped, many people looked at her.
Zhao Yingnan was even more clear. “It seems that I’ve delayed too much time. I’m sorry. I’ll take my leave first.”
The interview time wasn’t up yet.
Zhao Yingnan’s fans were very dissatisfied.
Zhu Jiao was stunned by Qin Gu’s call to the stage. Before she could come back to her senses, she looked at Song Qingyou and blurted out, “Why isn’t she leaving?”
Kong Ying quickly took the blame. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. My partner and I were too slow. We haven’t interviewed Qingyou yet.”
Zhu Jiao’s expression stiffened. She gritted her teeth and regretted blurting out the words in her heart. She wished she could slap herself a few times.
Now, she would definitely become one of the jokes at the awards ceremony!
‘Damn it!’
The media who were taking photos on the red carpet all knew that Zhu Jiao walked slowly on the red carpet.
She had suddenly left so quickly today, and had even targeted Song Qingyou. All kinds of speculations had already appeared in the minds of all the reporters.
At this time, Kong Ying and Qin Gu tacitly ignored Zhu Jiao and let her be embarrassed by the side.
In any case, not many people would pay attention to Zhu Jiao when she stood beside Song Qingyou.
Zhu Jiao was considered pretty good-looking in the industry, but she was nothing compared to Song Qingyou.
“Qingyou should be the first artist to walk the red carpet with a cat. Is this cat part of your style?” Qin Gu asked.
“Really?” Song Qingyou was just being impulsive.
“I think Zhizhi is a calm cat. He shouldn’t be scared by so many cameras.. And even if 1 don’t get the trophy, I won’t go back empty-handed.”
“Looks like Qingyou really likes cats,” Kong Ying laughed.
The two of them finished interviewing Song Qingyou at the scheduled time before turning to look at Zhu Jiao.
Song Qingyou walked off the stage and could still hear the voice behind her.
“I remember that there’s a statistics on the length of time Zhu Jiao takes to walk the red carpet every time. Everyone generally thinks that you walk slower, but your speed tonight was unexpected. Can we ask why?”
“I just-”
Zhu Jiao stammered for a long time, unable to answer.
Song Qingyou’s lips curved slightly, and her smile towards the camera became brighter.
As soon as Song Qingyou left, although the celebrities who came out later were big shots, and some of them even made their appearances the talk of the town, none of them made everyone’s eyes light up.
When it was Shen Xiyan’s turn, the surrounding discussions increased.
However, the entrance to the red carpet was still empty.
“What happened? Why isn’t Shen Xiyan here yet?”
“Is she dissatisfied with her ranking?”
“You’re already 20 and you’re still not satisfied? The ones behind are all superstars, right?”
“This is acting like a big shot! Big news!”
Kong Ying and Qin Gu looked at the empty red carpet and could only urge the staff to let the people behind them go first.
At the venue, Zhao Yingnan’s agent came over and whispered a few words to her.
“What happened outside?” Song Qingyou asked.
Zhao Yingnan replied in a low voice, “1 heard that Shen Xiyan was acting like a big shot and didn’t walk the red carpet in the prescribed order.”
Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows. Before she could say anything, the phone that the staff had just brought over vibrated.
She opened it and saw that almost all of them were messages from Chen Lan:
[ Shen Xiyan smashed her phone on Lin Siya’s head]
[ Both sides are arguing now. Shen Xiyan said that her assistant smashed it.]
Lin Siya was a national first-class actress and singer and was ranked No. 2 on the Celebrity Impact Rankings. She was only one step away from being on the global list, making her a real big shot.
Song Qingyou thought about it and replied to Chen Lan:
[ Find a way to check the surveillance cameras]
[ If you can see that Shen Xiyan threw the phone, save a backup video for me]
Security at the Annual Celebrity Awards ceremony had always been a top priority, so surveillance cameras were everywhere.
After typing, Song Qingyou saw her cat staring at the screen seriously. She couldn’t help but stroke the cat’s head and whispered, “Shen Xiyan is really unlucky this year.”
“What did you say?” Zhao Yingnan looked over.
“Nothing, I’m just trying to reason with Zhizhi.”
Jiang Zhihan was speechless.
Notes:
[1] ranked 44th from the bottom: This doesn’t mean Zhu Jiao is ranked at the bottom of the ranking list, It’s just the artists are arriving in a descending order, so the last to arrive will be the artist ranked #1..
