Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

"Ms. Gu, do you have any explanation for the message you posted on Weibo? Was it an account hacking incident, or—"

"It wasn't a hacked account, it was me."

"So, you really like Yu Ci?"

"Yes."

"I wonder if Actress Gu has considered the impact on her future career after going public?"

"I've considered it."

The issue of career advancement is a hot topic online. As soon as the topic became popular, the reporters were all excited, and the scene became somewhat chaotic. Gu Qiushui took the microphone, looked at the people below, and said in a calm voice, "You don't need to ask questions about this matter individually."

"I'm holding this press conference to announce the future plans for StarCraft."

"Those who have been fans of mine for a long time probably know my past. I struggled to get into school, worked hard to get roles, and started to work my way up in the entertainment industry..."

"I love acting, I really enjoy it."

"Fans all know that my favorite award is the Cannes Best Actress Award."

"After the announcement this morning, there were many comments, which I have read."

"I disagree with the claim that I became arrogant after winning the award and started talking nonsense." Gu Qiushui turned her head to the microphone, "This time, even if I hadn't won the award, I would still have made it public."

"Some lovely fans have been asking me about my future career on Weibo, and I... will answer that directly here."

"Starting today, I will retire from the entertainment industry."

After this statement about retiring from the entertainment industry was uttered, some reporters in the audience even forgot to press the shutter button while holding their cameras.

What the hell?

What did they mishear?

Retiring from the entertainment industry?

Gu Qiushui, who just won the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award a few days ago, is enjoying immense popularity and possesses superb acting skills. Has she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry? This must be the most fake news of the year.

But a group of media outlets, looking at the expressionless face of the man on the high seat, also began to feel uncertain.

"I will be retiring from the entertainment industry indefinitely."

It was repeated again, so it seems to be true...

The major media outlets that got their hands on the inside information are now unable to contain themselves. The venue has blocked the signal and is not allowed to broadcast live. They can only start spreading the news quickly after the press conference ends.

Eighteen media outlets simultaneously released the information.

#Oh my god! The Gu Qiushui you never knew!#

#Gu Qiushui, Retires from the Entertainment Industry#

#The youngest Cannes Best Actress is retiring from acting!!#

Using eye-catching headlines, Weibo, which had just resumed operation, collapsed again in seconds.

A Weibo tech worker who worked overtime all morning: Holy crap?

This time, the collapse of Weibo was even more serious than in the morning.

Retire from acting?

What's going on? How could Gu Qiushui retire from acting? How could she possibly retire?

-emm, am I crazy or is the world crazy? I feel like I'm seeing fake news?

- ...Gu Qiushui is leaving the entertainment industry? I don't believe it!

- It's definitely just another attempt to gain sympathy. I'm laughing. Is coming out the same as shipping people a long time ago? So calculating.

No matter what, please don't leave the entertainment industry, I really like you...

A multitude of complex pieces of information were mixed together, but among these fans, the most anxious was Yu Ci.

After seeing the news about the press conference, her phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

After a long while, finally there was a sound.

"Sorry I'm late. Something came up and I missed your call."

"...Qiushui, you told me before that you had a solution, and the solution was to leave the entertainment industry?" She really couldn't accept this solution.

"what happened?"

The phone suddenly went silent. Yu Ci clenched his hands. "Qiu Shui, don't be like this. Announcing your retirement from the entertainment industry at the press conference is a very serious matter. You can't just go back on your word after you've said it..."

"I won't go back on my word."

“But—” Yu Ci fell silent for a moment, then paused.

"No buts, I'm not aggrieved."

"Yu Ci, have you ever heard me say anything sentimental?" Even though things were really urgent, Gu Qiushui could still laugh.

"I've heard you say that a few times." Every time it sounded sentimental, but every time, Yu Ci felt like she was melting.

"Then I'll say it again today."

“I am not wronged, not at all… Stop bringing up the Cannes Best Actress award and things in the entertainment industry. I know you know me, but that was many years ago.”

"Actually, I have two wishes. One is the obvious one, which everyone knows about: the Cannes Best Actress award. The other is the one that's kept secret." She paused for a moment after saying this.

Yu Ci, clearly curious, pressed on, "What's the other one?"

Gu Qiushui sighed into the microphone, "The other one is a wish that came later."

Her voice was very soft; even with the phone on speakerphone, Yu Ci could only hear a whisper.

But in those almost whispered words, she seemed to hear Gu Qiushui's piety.

My second wish is to be with you.

……

"My first wish has already come true, so now I'm just chasing my second wish, just like I chased my first wish before."

"I……"

"I remember you once said, little fan, that you would always support me. So now, are you going to support me in starting the second phase of my life?"

Yu Ci replied with a simple "yes".

"So retiring from acting isn't a big deal, right?"

Compared to the future, retiring from acting now is really nothing.

After being comforted several times, I finally accepted everything.

As the call was about to end, Yu called out Gu Qiushui's name.

"what happened?"

"Then... I support you, can I retweet your Weibo post?"

The only response from the other end was, "Of course."

After forwarding Gu Qiushui's Weibo post to his own account, the massive Weibo traffic was divided into layers, and many irrational fans followed suit. Yu Ci bravely enabled Weibo comment permissions.

Since it is—

Since it's a public matter, there's no reason for one person to bear all the criticism; if anyone is going to come, they should fight side by side.

Just as Yu Ci was bracing himself for a storm, he discovered that his data usage seemed to have disappeared again.

After looking through a bunch of messy comments for a while and still not understanding what they meant, Yu Ci logged into his alternate account and entered Gu Qiushui's already chaotic fan group to start spying on her.

After going through a lot of messages, she learned the reason for the matter.

Changtian Studio announced its dissolution.

After its dissolution, Weibo quickly changed its name to—

Qiuci Entertainment Film and Television Company.

A whole bunch of messy authentication messages and procedures were posted online in just a few minutes.

This new scarf showcases one thing from every angle.

Gu Qiushui, who was just nominated for Best Actress at Cannes, is really changing careers; she's going to become a crossover CEO!

And this investment amount...

That should be pretty much all of Qiu Shui's wealth, right?

And this company name is just awful, so what's going on here?

Is it true that Gu Qiushui is going to retire from the entertainment industry indefinitely?

After browsing the webpage for the second time, I sent a text message to Gu Qiushui.

The person was probably looking at their phone, so the text message received a reply very quickly.

Gu Qiushui: This is my gift to you, and also the capital for the beginning of my second wish.

-

2025 will be the year Weibo explodes.

In an interview, Weibo's CEO, Lai Qu XX, publicly stated that 2025 would truly be a year of explosive growth in online traffic.

An impossible romance, after all the back and forth, caused the Weibo tech team to work overtime at least a dozen times.

"Seriously."

"Now that President Gu has achieved great success, I feel she should treat us old technicians to a meal."

"While sleeping or showering, I'm always restless and have to come out to inspect things."

Then someone asked him about this joke, "Four years have passed, and everyone knows that President Gu has successfully changed careers, but what about her and that other guy... President Lai, do you know anything about it?"

"This matter..."

“Of course I know.” Lai Qu waved his hand, smiled with his eyes narrowed, and the reporter interviewing him also smiled.

But soon, the reporter's smile froze on his face.

"I understand, but I won't say anything. Give up, hahaha."
