Chapter 225

"No!"

"Dilraba! Wake up!"

"You aren't a 'love-brain,' are you..."

"What's so great about that Song Qi! Is he worth you sacrificing so much for him?"

"Babe! Listen to your sister's advice: stay away from men. Men will only make you miserable..."

Xiao Xue shook Dilraba's head desperately, as if trying to shake her back to her senses.

Unexpectedly, Dilraba remained stubborn and said, "Hey!"

"Song Qi is different!"

"I'm truly happy when I'm with him, and I feel very safe!"

"I never thought I would love a man this much..."

"Besides, I have a premonition that Song Qi will surely become a figure in the spotlight in the future, and then he will come to marry me while stepping on colorful auspicious clouds!"

???

Xiao Xue felt completely bewildered.

She hurriedly reached out and touched Dilraba's forehead, confirming that she didn't have a fever.

Then she hurriedly touched her own forehead, just in case she was the one burning up and hallucinating.

What on earth is wrong with this world?

A top-tier Dragon Nation actress is actually willing to give up her incredibly brilliant stardom for an ordinary man.

To go home and serve her husband and raise children?

Are you sure this isn't a sci-fi movie?

"Dilraba! You must not be impulsive..."

"He's just a man; there are plenty of them in the world, it's not like you can't find one!"

"It's really not worth you doing this!!"

"Besides, that Song Qi isn't even that great!"

"He's just a little handsome, but he doesn't look like he has much money; he's just a small-time researcher!"

"What do you even see in him!!"

"If you really want a handsome guy, I'll help you find one—one a day, and I won't even repeat the same type!"

At this moment, Xiao Xue was truly panicked.

She never expected that Dilraba was actually serious.

She was truly dating with the intention of marrying Song Qi and having children.

In Xiao Xue's eyes, this was simply incomprehensible.

Yet, Dilraba was acting as if she were possessed, putting on a stance that she would marry no one but Song Qi.

This gave Xiao Xue a massive headache.

A long while passed.

Dilraba, who had been silent, saw that her best friend didn't understand her at all.

She finally spoke slowly.

"Xiao Xue!"

"Song Qi isn't as simple as he looks on the surface..."

"I can't tell you the specifics!"

"I can only tell you that in the Dragon Nation, the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry are always just the surface."

"So-called stars like us are nothing more than actors in the eyes of those big shots. We aren't fit for the big stage..."

"To those big shots, the honor or disgrace of the entertainment industry is just a matter of a single word from them..."

Listening to Dilraba's words, Xiao Xue was stunned.

Wait!

What exactly did Dilraba mean by these words?

Xiao Xue was also a smart person; almost in an instant, she caught the subtext in Dilraba's words!

Could it be?

That Song Qi is a hidden big shot?

No way?

How could that be possible!

At this moment, Xiao Xue's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Song Qi looked even younger than her!

How could he possibly be the kind of hidden big shot Dilraba was talking about!!

In Xiao Xue's perception, big shots were mostly middle-aged uncles over fifty...

Just the next second.

Xiao Xue's phone rang.

It was a call from an unknown number.

Xiao Xue and Dilraba exchanged a glance, and she finally answered the phone.

"Hello! Is this Ms. Xiao Xue, the manager of Ms. Dilraba? We are from the Modu Bayi Film Studio. Our studio's latest film, 'Dragon Nation Wind and Clouds,' is currently casting. We were fortunate enough to see Ms. Dilraba's performance, and she is absolutely perfect for the female lead... May I ask if you are interested in learning more?"

???

A series of large question marks slowly floated above Xiao Xue's head.

Wait, Modu Bayi Film Studio—isn't that the Dragon Nation's state-run film studio?

In the entire Dragon Nation, almost every star would fight tooth and nail just for a supporting role at the Bayi Film Studio!

And it came to her?

They offered the female lead directly and even asked so politely if she was interested in learning more?

Isn't this a pie falling from the sky?

"Interested, interested! Extremely interested!!"

"..."

After the discussion, Xiao Xue just hung up the phone.

Before she could even catch her breath!

The next second, the phone rang again...

"Hello! Hello! Is this Ms. Xiao Xue, the manager of Ms. Dilraba? I am the Spring Festival Gala director, Zhang Laomou!"

"May I ask if your artist has any availability to perform a program at our Spring Festival Gala?"

"Our Dragon Nation audience is all waiting to see Ms. Dilraba's performance..."

Listening to this call, Xiao Xue was already dumbfounded.

The Spring Festival Gala? Director Zhang Laomou inviting Dilraba to perform on stage?

No way?

That's the Spring Festival Gala!

Even the most popular super-A-list superstar in the Dragon Nation today has to rack their brains to get on stage, and they have to worry at every moment that their program might be cut!

And the result?

They actually came begging to her?

And spoke so politely?

You have to know, with Dilraba's current status, Director Zhang Laomou wouldn't even have given her a good look in the past!!

At this moment.

Xiao Xue felt the whole world spinning.

"Hello! Ms. Xiao Xue, are you still there?"

The voice of Zhang Laomou came from the other end of the phone.

Xiao Xue hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Director Zhang! Director Zhang! I'm here, I'm here!"

"I was just too surprised, so I froze for a moment!"

"Thank you so much for giving our Dilraba this opportunity..."
