Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1651 - 1640: The Villain’s Foster Mother

The next day, Zhou Wanghui personally took Ye Chuqing to change her surname, and then took her to the school, which was the same school that Zhou Linxia had graduated from in the past. Her name was still on the honor roll there.

"Your sister’s grades are excellent. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, you can ask her. But your sister is preparing for a tour concert, so she probably won’t be home for a long time. Do you need me to hire a tutor for you?"

"No need." Chuqing shook her head, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Does this school have an arts class?"

"Of course, what do you want to learn?"

"Actually, I want to be an actor in the future, so I plan to apply for the film academy. Can I learn dance and singing?"

"You want to be an actor?" Zhou Wanghui was very surprised, then frowned, "Is it because you were influenced by living near the film city before? But I heard that the entertainment industry is very chaotic, have you really thought it through?"

"I’ve thought it through, this has been my dream since I was a child."

"The interests of you two sisters are indeed similar, only hers is the piano. Since this is your dream, I can’t stop you. I’ll talk to the principal about transferring you to the arts class. I’ll hire two teachers for you in extracurricular courses."

Moved by her father’s understanding, Chuqing smiled, "Thank you, Dad."

"No need to thank me, I’m your father."

Chuqing’s life gradually came back on track. Although Zhou Linxia left soon after she moved back to the Zhou Family, and Zhou Wanghui and Liu Meiqing were often hard to meet due to engagements, this made her feel even more comfortable. And with a full daily schedule, she had no time to think about anything else, only occasionally wondered what her mom was doing before sleep. But looking at her silent phone, she would angrily turn away and go to sleep.

"He’s so handsome!" Chuqing arrived at school and once again heard her female classmates excitedly gathered around looking at their phones.

Over time, she had become gradually familiar with her classmates, so curiously, she approached and asked, "What are you all looking at that makes you so excited?"

One of the girls answered, "Don’t you keep up with entertainment news as someone who wants to be an actor? Ye Mu, who recently debuted, is so handsome. Look, this is an ad he shot. Doesn’t it make you drool?"

Chuqing looked up to see the man in the video wearing a white shirt, drinking a certain brand of beverage under the sun. After taking a sip, the man expressed a very comfortable and refreshing feeling, and with the special effects, he looked as if drenched in water, the white shirt instantly turned semi-transparent, incredibly alluring.

"This ad is truly unwearied, how can there be such a perfect man in the world? I don’t care, I’m going to cheer for brother today, and order a truckload of this beverage," said the girl whose family was also wealthy, with a nonchalant expression.

The girl next to her discouraged her, "Wake up, that beverage is already sold out, you’ll have to wait for more."

She gritted her teeth, "How can the manufacturer be so short-sighted? Brother is so amazing, don’t they know to produce more?"

The manufacturer indeed regretted it now. They hadn’t expected an ad by a recently debuted minor celebrity to generate such a huge effect, with all the products selling out in an extremely short time. It was practically like a miracle.

Due to the overwhelming orders, the manufacturer temporarily stopped production on other beverages to focus on this one, but it still wasn’t enough, selling out as soon as it left the factory. Meanwhile, netizens online continued to shout, saying they wanted to cheer for brother and help him debut successfully.

So with just this one ad, Ye Mu successfully became a breakout star. Popularity means market, market means resources, so Ye Mu’s value skyrocketed instantly, not just in advertising, but also in film resources that he signed with, began to tilt towards him.

Given his unique nature as Mu Ling, he was particularly energetic. Even with very full daily schedules, he still managed to complete his work in the best possible state, hence all partners were very satisfied with him.

"See, this is what you call competence. I’ve earned more in these two months than you did in a year," Ye Mu said quite narcissistically.

"You can do it, you’re great, alright?" Ye Qiu said while scrolling through his phone, "A director who dined with me before found out about our relationship and mentioned he’s got a role he’d like you to play. I checked it out. The role doesn’t have much screen time but is very splendid, I’ve accepted it for you."

"Okay." Ye Mu didn’t disagree with Ye Qiu’s decision because he’s his manager now and Ye Qiu’s powerful and has never made mistakes.

Ye Mu and Ye Qiu turned round the clock like this, with very few breaks. Precisely because of their diligence and strong work ability, it took just half a year for Ye Mu to become extremely popular, becoming one of the hottest heartthrobs today.

On the other side, Chuqing successfully passed the art entrance exam, now even the Zhou Family knew of it. Even without the Zhou Family’s resources initially, she continued to excel, even more outstanding than usual.

Especially the drama she participated in that aired later, showcasing her shining qualities even more.

That palace intrigue drama was adapted from a novel, built on an existing audience base, and the main actors were chosen well. After airing on satellite TV, the palace drama became a hit, casting Chuqing as the sympathetic younger sister of the female lead.

Her character, right from the start, was lively and pretty, evidently the type to be a little princess spoiled by the family since childhood. Despite her kind heart, she offered food to beggars, only to be abducted by impostors into bandit mountains and eventually met a tragic end.

As the final straw leading to the female lead’s dark turn, Chuqing’s role earned plenty of tears, even Zhou Linxia felt a bit tempted.

Though the pure music circle sounds grand and sophisticated, it’s actually quite niche. Someone once said that people who perform in front of others are either forced into it, truly love it, or crave vanity.

Everyone has a bit of vanity, Zhou Linxia was no exception either. Looking at her dazzling sister on TV, Zhou Linxia felt moved.

Unlike her past life where she was discovered by a director after visiting Chuqing’s set and invited to play a role, this time Zhou Linxia purposely went to a friend’s entertainment company and by chance met the director. In awe, the director invited her to play the female lead in his new movie.

This was a youth school drama, where she played the school belle, a Bai Yueguang-like figure in every boy’s heart, not embroiled in deep grudges, only filled with beautiful school days recollections and heartwarming nostalgia. The movie ends with the exceptional school belle maintaining her excellence, stepping into society as a Dragon Phoenix among people.

This was why Zhou Linxia decided to take the role. She knew a viewer’s first impression was important; there were instances where actors played exceptionally likable roles, and even if they misbehaved later, audiences could easily forgive them.
