Yuncheng Airport, VIP waiting lounge.
Qin Jia sat in the corner, lost in thought, with two bodyguards sitting behind her, silently watching her.
For a moment, her mind went blank, but the sound of a message notification on her phone brought her back to reality.
Qin Jia picked up her phone, glanced at it, and tapped on WeChat from the top of the screen.
It was a message from Lu Tingzhou.
I received the gift.
I like it very much, thank you.
Qin Jia stared at the text on the screen in surprise. She hadn't expected that the package she sent out yesterday afternoon would arrive this morning.
Qin Jia Luna: I'm glad you like it.
She had just finished typing and pressed send when a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw a strange man with dyed blue hair and exaggerated eyeshadow.
Qin Jia was startled and was about to move when Shiwu in the back seat quickly stood up and pushed the person away.
The young man rubbed his chest with his left hand and held his right hand in front of him defensively, quickly explaining, "Brother, please don't misunderstand, I meant no harm."
Seeing him staring intently at the empty seat next to her, Qin Jiaqing cleared her throat and said gently, "This seat is taken. She went to the restroom and will be right back."

The young man waved his hand, "Miss Qin, I'm not taking a seat. I came here specifically to find you."
As he spoke, he took out a business card from his coat pocket and handed it to her. "I'm Amai, an artist agent from Xinghe Media. I just saw your runway video online and I think you have great potential in all aspects, so I wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in developing a career in the entertainment industry?"
Qin Jia glanced at his business card but didn't take it. She didn't say anything and silently moved to the side. Seeing this, Shiwu came over and sat down next to her.
Amai looked at the burly man in black in front of him, reluctantly withdrew his hand, and put the business card back into his pocket.
He took out his phone and searched for a video he had recently saved on a short video app, trying to prove that what he said was true. However, as soon as he clicked on it, the system showed that the video had been deleted.
He frowned and exited to look for other videos, but without exception, they had all been deleted.
Time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to think about the specific reasons behind it. He quickly looked up at Qin Jia and said rapidly, "Miss Qin, I really am an artist agent, not a fraudster. You know Duan Baihan, right? He's one of the most popular idol actors right now, and he's my artist."
"Miss Qin," he said, holding his phone with absolute certainty, "as long as you're willing to sign a contract, I guarantee you'll become a huge star within three years."
Qin Jia had no idea what this person was talking about. She tried her best to understand, but then refused him.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Amai, undeterred, forced a smile and continued, "Ms. Qin, I happen to have a variety show opportunity that perfectly matches your style. If you're willing to collaborate, I can arrange for you to appear on the show immediately."
"Opportunity knocks but once. Don't rush to reject me; go back and think it over carefully. Give me a chance, and give yourself a chance too."
Suddenly, an announcement came over the loudspeaker outside, urging him to board the plane.
Amai glanced at Fifteen, took the business card out of her pocket, and carefully placed it on the sofa closest to Qin Jia. "Ms. Qin, call me when you've made up your mind."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Qin Jia ignored the strange interlude, put her phone aside, and raised her hand to rub her temples.
The girl sitting next to me hesitated before speaking: "Miss, I've heard of Duan Baihan. His manager is indeed named Amai."
"Do you want that business card?"
Qin Jia looked up at the business card on the opposite sofa, pondered for a moment, and then took it.

With twenty minutes left before boarding, Lin Luxi finally returned from the restroom.
"Sorry, sorry, I was so engrossed in the gossip that I almost forgot the time." With that, Lin Luxi picked up her bag and hurried out.
As Qin Jia walked, he asked, "What kind of melon?"
Lin Lucy: "I'll tell you when I get on the plane."
The boarding gate was not far away, and soon the two crossed the jet bridge and boarded the plane smoothly.
After finally settling in, Qin Jia, preoccupied with the melon, asked, "Hey, Lucy, what kind of melon are you talking about? Are they sold in Yucheng?"
Lin Lucy froze for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Qin Jia, you're so cute!"
"The 'melon' I'm referring to is the gossip, not the kind of gossip we usually eat at the dinner table."
Qin Jia belatedly realized that it was gossip and immediately lost interest. "Oh, is that so?"
Lin Lucy exclaimed in surprise: "Qin Jia, gossiping is human nature, aren't you curious at all?"
Qin Jia shook her head. "I'm not curious."
She's not human, she's a koala. Koalas live simple lives and don't care about gossip.
Qin Jia wasn't curious, but Lin Luxi was practically bursting with pent-up emotions and just had to get it off her chest.
She deliberately sided with Qin Jia, taking out her phone to show her a gossip post from an entertainment forum.
[Gossip and Random Thoughts] Let's delve into the wealthy love story of the newly popular internet celebrity "Green Dress Fairy".
[Original Poster]:
First of all, I want to declare that this melon is authentic.
If you don't believe it, you can treat it as a story; it might even give you ladies some creative inspiration.
The company that the internet celebrity (hereinafter referred to as Xiao Lü) works for is under the Qin family of Y City. You can look up the Qin family's status in Y City and even the whole country.
Xiao Lü was quite beautiful. At a banquet, she had a chance encounter with the second young master of the Qin family. The young master fell for her at first sight and began a relentless pursuit. Xiao Lü knew that the young master's mother was not someone to be trifled with, so she hesitated to agree to date him. @Unlimited good stories, all at Jinjiang Literature City
The turning point came at another banquet. Xiao Lü's boss, lusting after her beauty, tried to get her drunk and take advantage of her. However, Xiao Lü was shrewd and didn't fall for it. Instead, she called the police and got her boss arrested.
Second Young Mistress was a person who hated evil as if it were her enemy, so she admired Xiao Lü very much and treated her like her own daughter. She also often told Second Young Master not to bully Xiao Lü.
On a side note, the second young master and Xiao Lü look quite like a married couple, as evidenced by street photos. Unfortunately, the publicly released photos, like this one, were censored by the second young master's mother with money.
In short, don't even think about it. Xiao Lü is going to be a wealthy wife, and there's no way she'll become an internet celebrity.

[1st Floor] The Badger in the Melon Field: No picture, no story. I could make up eighty of these fake stories a day. You'd be better off believing I'm Qin Shi Huang!
[2nd Floor] uu: I heard that Xiao Lü is quite strong, I think he is a 9th dan black belt in Taekwondo, which is why he was able to kill his lewd boss.
[3rd Floor] Zizi: To add a point, the green dress the girl wore in the competition was a limited summer edition from GM Fairy Brand, and no one has publicly worn it before. I was wondering about it at first, but after seeing the OP's revelation, I suddenly understood. GM seems to have Qin's investment, so getting a dress like that isn't difficult for them.
[4th Floor] Jasmine Honey Tea: What a pity, the lady in the green dress was so beautiful. But these days, wives of wealthy men are indeed very tempting, let's respect and wish them well.
...
[Post #82] Xiao Jiu: Wait, haven't you guys found any photos yet? What does the Second Young Master actually look like? If they're a good match, post some pictures so I can ship them too...
"Dear passengers, the plane is about to take off. Please fasten your seat belts, stow your tray tables, and turn off your electronic devices. Thank you for your cooperation."
A gentle female voice pulled the two back from their gossip. Lin Luxi looked down to check her seatbelt, hurriedly exited the webpage, and put her phone into airplane mode.
She put down her phone, still immersed in the post she had just read, and said with lingering interest: "Qin Jia, let me tell you, I climbed over a thousand floors outside the bathroom, and not a single person could find the photo. I'm so curious."
The words churned in her mind. Qin Jia narrowed her eyes, deep in thought, and said, "Lucy, don't you think there's something wrong with this story?"
Lin Lucy's eyes sparkled. "What's wrong with it? Isn't that how idol dramas always go? The romantic love story between Cinderella and a rich young master is so beautiful."
Qin Jia raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
The plane slowly ascended, gradually leaving the ground and flying into the air. Amidst the slight swaying, Qin Jia closed the curtains to block out the light and silently shut her eyes.
She prefers sleeping to gossip.

As soon as she landed, Lin Lucy excitedly opened her phone and started reading the gossip posts on the forum.
As she scrolled through the posts, one of them was suddenly censored. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, the power of money is truly immense. It seems that the wealthy really don't like to show off."
However, according to the law of gossip, the more a topic is banned, the more intense the discussion becomes.
It's better to guide than to block.
Lin Luxi switched to a different search app, and her eyes widened as she looked at the images that popped up on the screen.
"Qin, Qin Jia..."
Qin Jia turned around at the sound, "What's wrong?"
Lin Luxi held her phone, her fingers trembling slightly, and her voice trembled as well: "The gossip post we were looking at on the plane, the female protagonist seems to be you... You, you're trending..."
Seeing that Qin Jia didn't believe her, Lin Luxi quickly took a screenshot and showed it to her. @Unlimited great stories, all at Jinjiang Literature City
"Look, isn't that you in the green dress?" Lin Lucy said, swiping right. "And this one, that should be a photo of you and Young Master Qin, right?"
Only now did Lin Luxi connect the Y City and the Qin family in the post. Y City refers to Yu City, the Qin family refers to the Qin family, and the company under their control refers to Zhenyuan.
The so-called competition was yesterday's jewelry competition, and Qin Jia wore a long green and white dress when she appeared in the first round.
As for the banquet, it should refer to the cruise ship incident, and the lewd boss was referring to An Jun.
A flood of information overwhelmed Lin Luxi, leaving her completely confused. She looked at Qin Jia, both surprised and bewildered: "Qin Jia, are you and the young master of the Qin family really dating? Are you already planning to get married?"
"So you haven't been coming to work lately because you're preparing for the wedding?"
Qin Jia looked up upon hearing this, momentarily speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Recalling the previous post, she found it all the more absurd.
She never expected that participating in a jewelry competition as Lin Luxi's "supporting role" would make her an overnight "internet celebrity" in the eyes of others.
Even more outrageous, netizens actually fabricated a love story between her and Qin Mo in a wealthy family...
"You're overthinking it," Qin Jia said helplessly. "I'm Qin Mo's older sister."
Then she added, "My older sister."
Lin Lucy opened her mouth, looked at Qin Jia, and then at the burly man in black who was pulling a suitcase over.
"That means..."
Lin Lucy frowned slightly and pointed to Fifteen behind her, "Your boyfriend is actually him?"
Qin Jia turned around and glanced back, "…"
"I don't have a boyfriend," she explained. "He's my family's bodyguard, the fifteenth in his family."
"You can call him Fifteen."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fifteen approached and said, "Miss, Madam said you shouldn't go home yet."
Qin Jia raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Fifteen whispered in his ear: "It seems that because of the online incident, the master spent money to reduce the hype, but the discussion level is still very high..."
"I heard he's throwing a tantrum at home right now, and he's even slapping dogs that walk by," he said, pausing for a moment. "Anyway, it's pretty scary."
Qin Jia was silent for two seconds. "His left hand must be quite tired. But I have a question."
十五:"What?"
Qin Jia: "Do we have a dog?"
十六:"..."
