The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Ch 15 - 16

C15: Change of Plans

After everyone had played the spinning wheel game several more times, they gradually got to know each other better through truth or dare.

Everyone came here for different reasons - some were arranged by their companies, some wanted to relieve stress, some hoped to meet their fans' expectations, while Qin Wei...

"For the money."

Qin Wei didn't try to hide it. For a celebrity of her status, even if the hugely popular show Like Your Life invited her, she might not necessarily have considered it.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that she must be having financial issues.

Qin Wei pointed to the cameras:

"What they offered was quite a lot."

Director A: "..."

Anti-fans:

[You don't have to be so direct...]

...

By now the sky was pitch black and everyone was just about done playing, but they still hadn't gotten Qin Wei to do a single dare. The production team felt it was a pity, so they rigged the spinning wheel to force one more round of the game.

They weren't trying very hard to hide their intentions...

Qin Wei rolled her eyes at the camera again.

She had to put on the performance required of her. Li Hanming spun the wheel and it landed squarely on Qin Wei's name.

Production team: "This time it's a dare!"

Li Hanming smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for what to say.

Clearly the boy didn't want to make things difficult for Qin Wei.

In the end a staff member passed him a small slip of paper.

Qin Wei: "Do you think I'm blind..."

But the filming had to go on. Li Hanming opened the slip of paper and looked at Qin Wei apologetically.

"Teacher Qin..."

"You have to face the consequences of gambling, go ahead and read it boldly."

With Qin Wei's encouragement, Li Hanming finally read it out:

"Perform one of your hidden talents."

"That's it?"

Qin Wei was taken aback. What was so hard about this?

Anti-fans:

[As everyone knows, Ms. Qin has no talents, only her looks.]

[As everyone knows, Ms. Qin has no talents, and doesn't even have a brain.]

[Everyone, while Ms. Qin may not have any talents, she also has no moral character.]

[She can't sing or dance! I still remember her lip-syncing at the New Year's Eve gala. Lip-syncing was bad enough, but her dancing was awful too. It looked like radio calisthenics even though it was such a simple dance routine. Please don't embarrass yourself.]

[We should let her embarrass herself, otherwise what can we mock?]

...

Su Xiaoxiao was a little expectant:

"So what hidden talent is Sister Qin going to demonstrate?"

Hidden talent.

Self-explanatory - it meant a talent others didn't know about. Qin Wei racked her brains, she didn't even know if the original owner could sing or dance.
