Chapter 85 To Coax Her Husband
After half an hour of Chang Zi's monologue, the so-called exhortation finally concluded. Song Ni's brows were tightly furrowed. She had been holding her phone, and as soon as she saw a red dot, she eagerly tapped it. Her face went from anticipation to disappointment. "Damn man." "......" Song Ni exclaimed in frustration, completely unaware that her reaction had deeply shocked the two guests at home.
Little Assistant: Is this stunning beauty already in a relationship? Are debut artists this bold nowadays?
Chang Zi: As expected of President Lu's sister-in-law, her aura is different. Seeing the little assistant's jaw drop as if an egg could fit in her mouth, Chang Zi coughed softly to remind her. "Miss Song, are you busy right now?" Song Ni's eyelids drooped, her disappointment evident. She tossed her phone aside and shook her head. "No, please continue. You can just call me Ni Ni." Since they would be working together for two months, there was no need for formality.
Chang Zi immediately agreed. "Alright, Ni Ni." The little assistant, seeing this, quickly chimed in. "Ni Ni jie." Her voice was sweet and soft, causing Song Ni to look at her more closely. Her eyes darted around, and Song Ni straightened up, winking at the little assistant. "What's your name?" "Ni Ni jie, my name is Chi Xia." "Chi Xia." Song Ni repeated the name. "What a nice name. May I call you Xia Xia?" Chi Xia's eyes sparkled, she was somewhat flattered. "Of course."
Seeing the genuine little white rabbit in front of her trembling slightly, Song Ni felt a pang of pity. Of course, this pity translated into teasing on Song Ni's part. "Xia Xia, do you have a boyfriend?" Chi Xia shook her head. "N... No, not yet." "Then Ni Ni jie can introduce a boyfriend to you?" Chi Xia: ! ! ! She waved her hands in panic, shaking her head. "Ni Ni jie, I don't want to be in a relationship right now, I want to focus on my career first."
Song Ni raised an eyebrow and tapped her chin, feigning deep thought. "Is Xia Xia saying that if you have a career, you can't have a man? Then should I kick my own man out?" Chi Xia: ! ! ! She never meant that. Chi Xia wanted to cry but had no tears. "Ni Ni jie..." Her voice trembled with fear, and Chi Xia looked at Chang Zi for help. Chang Zi had already noticed the teasing glint in Song Ni's eyes. She patted Chi Xia's shoulder reassuringly. "Your Ni Ni jie is just joking with you."
Song Ni chuckled. She didn't want to scare such a cute little assistant on the first day. "Xia Xia is so cute. Don't worry, I'm easy to get along with." Chi Xia: ...... Since they were discussing men, Chang Zi briefly explained the current online situation. "Currently, your personal account and Lu Hao Ting's collaboration are generating a lot of buzz. The company has already announced that you will be playing the third female lead in 'Jun Qi.' Lu Hao Ting reposted the announcement on Weibo, and people are already shipping you two as a couple." "I've reapplied for a Weibo account for you and had it verified. This account will generally be managed by the team." Chang Zi paused. "If you want, you can also post some daily life updates to attract fans."
Hearing this, Song Ni, who had been feeling listless, finally perked up. She handed her phone over, and Chang Zi logged into the account. "She" had already posted five Weibo posts, all related to preparations for joining the crew. Song Ni found the CP (couple) hashtag area for her and Lu Hao Ting and couldn't stop smiling as she read through the posts. Their CP name was "Honey Couple," derived from the "H" in Lu Hao Ting's English name "Henry" and her "Ni." Fans referred to them as "Female 1, Male 0" because Lu Hao Ting was too clumsy at learning karate and would surely be defeated by Song Ni in a fight. Lu Hao Ting had once posted on Weibo saying he would perform a fight scene at a concert, and a fan commented: Are you here to fall for us to see? It would be better if sister-in-law performed. ...... And so on.
Song Ni glanced at the popularity of the CP hashtag. Since there weren't many fans, the popularity wasn't extremely high, but it wasn't low either. The main reason was Lu Hao Ting's immense traffic, and he himself had personally visited the CP hashtag and posted: "Dear little fairies, if you keep shipping us, I'll be beaten to death." Seeing this post, Song Ni burst into laughter. The fans assumed Lu Hao Ting was afraid of being beaten by her, but only Song Ni knew that Lu Hao Ting was afraid of being beaten to death by Tan Zheng. Song Ni pondered and asked, "Is Lu Hao Ting letting them ship the CP like this?" Logically, for a rising idol like Lu Hao Ting, creating CP is highly discouraged because most of his fans are career-oriented or girlfriend-oriented. However, Lu Hao Ting is active in the hip-hop scene, and his fans are much more tolerant compared to other rising idols.
"They are unwilling. Lu Hao Ting's agent has approached me twice, but President Lu said that this matter is entirely up to us to handle, so it depends on your wishes." Song Ni nodded slightly. "Then should I post on Weibo now?" Chang Zi: ...... "What kind of content?" "I can't be tied to a CP. Lu Hao Ting will be beaten to death by my man." Chang Zi: ...... Chi Xia: ...... "Ahem, it's better not to be so direct. Just state that you two are friends." As long as Song Ni posted on Weibo, Lu Hao Ting's team would immediately follow up with a statement.
Song Ni raised an eyebrow and operated the screen with her slender, fair fingers. "Done." Song Ni smiled and took a screenshot of the Weibo post, then shared it on her Moments. The caption was: "Actor Ni reporting for duty!" Chang Zi's gaze fell upon the smile on Song Ni's lips, and a sudden unease crept into her heart. She quickly took out her phone and opened Weibo. "......" Song Ni directly posted her wedding photo and tagged Lu Hao Ting. The caption read: He has to call me sister-in-law. If you babies keep shipping our CP, be careful he gets brutally beaten by my dear husband~ What a way to break up a CP.
A newcomer to the industry, about to join a crew, directly announcing her marital status on Weibo and personally tearing down her own CP. Song Ni was absolutely an unprecedented and unparalleled oddity in the entertainment industry. Chang Zi's heart raced. Although she hadn't expected Song Ni to dedicate all her attention to the entertainment industry, she genuinely wanted to build Song Ni's career. The former emperor, who hadn't even half-finished his grand plan, had perished in his prime. Song Ni's path in the entertainment industry had a huge rock thrown at it from the very beginning. It couldn't be said to have completely blocked her path, but at least it had severely obstructed it.
Chang Zi was at a loss for words, a mixture of laughter and tears. Three minutes prior, she had still been dreaming of making Song Ni a superstar. Now, she finally understood that Song Ni had absolutely no intention of making a career in the entertainment industry. Even though Song Ni was a newcomer, such a bold move was unprecedented in the entertainment industry, especially when the other party was a major traffic influencer. Within ten minutes, the Weibo post appeared on the trending search list. Half an hour later, it became the number one trending topic.
Chang Zi was incredibly busy, constantly making phone calls to communicate with various parties. Chi Xia, on the other hand, was utterly stunned by Song Ni's actions. "Ni Ni jie, you are too... amazing." After saying that, she gave a sincere thumbs-up. "This is amazing?" Song Ni raised an eyebrow. "Xia Xia, you'll be conquered by my charm in the future." She had always been unrestrained. While browsing Weibo, she discovered that many of Lu Hao Ting's female fans were coming to her page to hurl insults, some of which were extremely vulgar. Miss Song, the eldest daughter of the Song family, had never suffered such indignities.
She was entering the entertainment industry just for fun. Since it was for fun, she had to have fun. Moreover, posting this Weibo wasn't just to break up the CP. She was doing it to coax her husband. (End of this chapter)
