"Xiao Xi..."
Su Yan could no longer hear what the driver was saying on the other end of the phone. The noisy sounds around him faded away like a tide. In his sight, eyes, and mind, there was only a woman in a plain white cheongsam and a low voice singing on the big screen.
The girl was holy and beautiful, slowly overlapping with the little girl in the memory who was wearing a floral dress and had a pure and tender face, as if she would disappear again in the next moment.
The scene on the big screen ended, Ning Xi's figure disappeared, and the man's heart tightened as if it was being strangled by sharp claws.
Xiao Xi!
"Mr. Su... Mr. Su... Hello?" The driver asked anxiously as he hadn't received a response from his boss for a long time.
Su Yan ignored the other end's urging questions, hung up the phone directly, and then opened the search engine.
He didn't need to search hard at all. After searching for keywords, he saw a flood of entertainment headlines about Ning Xi's comeback...
It was not until he read those reports that the man finally felt the reality.
The girl who disappeared as if evaporating from the face of the earth is really back...
The man tightly grasped his phone, and the dormant emotions deep in his heart suddenly erupted like a dormant volcano...
…
Star Entertainment.
Han Zixuan's studio.
Zheng Anru looked at the navy troops that had already started to act one by one, with a confident expression on her face, and said smugly, "Zixuan, just relax! Ning Xi came back this time to completely humiliate herself!"
After the initial excitement and enthusiasm about Ning Xi's comeback, under Zheng Anru's deliberate guidance of public opinion, more and more people began to question the reason why Ning Xi disappeared for a year.
"That day at the promotional event, it was Ning Xi who cunningly diverted the fans' attention! How could it be so easy to just let it go? A former female star who retired to be supported by a sponsor, and then came out to make money again after being abandoned by her sponsor, everyone is spitting at her to death!"
Han Zixuan had been in an extremely bad mood for the past few days, until she saw the public opinion on the Internet gradually changing and more and more people were scolding Ning Xi, her expression eased a little.
[What kind of inspirational queen of the entertainment industry is this? Does she dare to say what she did during her one-year disappearance?]
[After being dumped by the sponsor, he just thought of continuing to cheat fans for money. Does he really think everyone is stupid?]
[I'm telling you the truth, Ning Xi's brainless fans please don't criticize me, because I was once a loyal Ning Xi fan, so I know very well that Ning Xi's gun dance at the promotional event was barely watchable, but it can't be compared with Brother Xi's previous level, okay? I think this year might really be caused by living a life of luxury without striving for progress!]
[Yes! What we want is the best Brother Xi, not a defective one!]
…
At first, it was just passers-by who were questioning, but many people followed the trend of the Internet. Gradually, some fans began to waver, except for some die-hard fans and Jiang Muye's fans who remained silent for the time being.
Zheng Anru happily looked through the advertisements and collaborations that had recently increased. "After Ning Xi's incident, your popularity has increased even more. It's even better than the scandal with Jiang Muye! Those investors who were previously wavering are also waiting and watching. They are not fools. They will not give up a popular person like you for an outdated one!"
Han Zixuan held up her iPad and slowly scrolled through the comments online, "Don't let your guard down. Ning Xi will be prepared."
Zheng Anru looked nonchalant upon hearing this, "What preparations could she have made? Even if she said something fancy, it couldn't explain the fact that she disappeared for a whole year!"
