Chapter 14 Zhou Jingyu was being two-faced, and Zhou Donghai was so furious he nearly jumped out of his skin. A perfectly good arrangement was completely ruined by him. If he didn’t want to go, fine, but why reject the girl outright? Didn’t the young lady care about her dignity? Zhou Donghai was too embarrassed to face his old friend. After hanging up, he called Zhou Jingyu again and gave him a thorough scolding. Zhou Jingyu endured Zhou Donghai’s lecture, but even so, Zhou Donghai wouldn’t give up. He sent a WeChat ID and ordered Zhou Jingyu to add it tonight before finally hanging up. Zhou Jingyu didn’t agree. He didn’t even look at the WeChat ID—he deleted it directly. Zhou Jingyu appeared refined and cultured on the surface, but stubbornness ran deep in his bones, inherited from Zhou Donghai. Since childhood, unless he was willing, no amount of force from Zhou Donghai could make him bend. He had no interest in blind dates whatsoever. Agreeing to one was already enough; a second time was out of the question. Even if Zhou Donghai insisted it was the same person as last time, it still wouldn’t work. By comparison, he was more concerned about that little chatterbox he’d been chatting with for so long but still didn’t know who she was. He wasn’t in a rush. He simply waited for her to reply to his earlier message. Wen Tang saw the message only after finishing the magazine cover shoot and getting her phone back. Previously, Wen Tang always initiated messages and Gong Yue would reply. This time he actually sent a message first—what tremendous progress! Wen Tang’s mood soared the moment she saw it, but when she opened the message, her upturned lips froze instantly. “Your name is Wen Qing?” “That’s a lovely name.” … Wen Qing? ???? Wen Tang’s mind went blank. Staring at those two characters, they were still the same characters, but somehow she couldn’t recognize them when put together. Besides, what was so lovely about the name Wen Qing? Clearly Wen Tang sounded much better! Her clever mind crashed for a moment, then rebooted. Wen Tang finally understood why, despite adding him as a friend so long ago, he never asked her name. It wasn’t that he didn’t ask—he’d simply been treating her as someone else all along. This woman named Wen Qing? Wen Tang searched her memory but had no impression of this name. She turned to Kexin and Yangyang: “Do you know who Wen Qing is?” After exchanging glances, Kexin and Yangyang both shook their heads: “Who? We don’t know.” Wen Tang thought for a moment: “Maybe some eighteenth-tier minor celebrity?” People around Gong Yue were probably at a similar level. If she was eighteenth-tier, it was normal not to recognize her. “Let me search,” Yangyang said smartly, pulling out her phone. After searching Baidu, Yangyang exclaimed: “I found out who she is!” Wen Tang and Kexin both looked at him. Yangyang’s eyes widened as she blurted out: “Wow! She’s the daughter of the chairman of Qiyang Group!” Though they didn’t know what Qiyang Group was, the mention of a chairman’s daughter sounded impressive. Kexin also let out a “wow.” Wen Tang: “?” Unbelievable. Or perhaps the Wen Qing that Gong Yue mentioned wasn’t an entertainer at all and didn’t exist in Baidu Baike. Looking up, Yangyang saw Wen Tang’s confused expression and looked back at her phone more carefully. After a moment, she corrected herself: “Oh no, I was wrong! This rich girl Wen Qing just returned from studying in France and doesn’t act. That’s not the one—it’s a different one!” Making sure she got it right this time, she began reading from Baidu Baike: “Wen Qing, profession: actress, singer; twenty-two years old this year, debuted two years ago, artist under Qilin Entertainment, appeared in TV dramas ‘The Ideal Sea’ and ‘I Am a Mermaid,’ appeared on variety shows ‘Let’s Eat Together’ and ‘Let’s Travel,’ released an album ‘Colorful,’ representative work ‘Colorful.'” Kexin: “So she’s not a chairman’s daughter after all, just a minor celebrity!” Then, utterly confused: “But I watched ‘The Ideal Sea’ too, watched it all the way through, and I never saw anyone named Wen Qing. And I’ve never even heard of these variety shows or albums. When did they come out?” “Why aren’t you thinking straight?” Yangyang quickly dismissed the chairman’s daughter from her mind and looked exasperated at Kexin. “That’s why she’s eighteenth-tier! She must have played some obscure role, probably only appeared for a few minutes. As for those variety shows and albums, they all came out in the past two years, but they were all flops that barely anyone watched!” There were countless minor celebrities like this in the industry. Some people chased the celebrity dream their whole lives without making it, so they’d seen plenty. Besides, this one had only debuted two years ago. Kexin nodded in agreement, but this minor celebrity was someone even they didn’t know about. How would Wen Tang suddenly bring her up? “Tang Tang, you know her? Why are you asking about her?” Kexin turned and asked. By this time, Wen Tang had already picked up her phone to look. Indeed, just as Yangyang said, she was an eighteenth-tier minor celebrity with barely any notable works, mostly filling in as unnamed supporting roles. And the Qiyang Group chairman’s daughter that Yangyang mentioned earlier, Wen Tang saw that too. No wonder Yangyang said she misread it—this Wen Qing’s Baike entry actually ranked before the minor actress, the minor actress Wen Qing was so obscure that she was firmly overshadowed by an outsider. Following the order, what Yangyang said the first time was what she saw first. The heiress Wen Qing was twenty-four this year and had just returned from studying in France, so she couldn’t possibly know Gong Yue. She could be ruled out directly. “I don’t know her,” Wen Tang replied casually without looking up from the Baike page. “Just saw someone mention her and asked about it.” Kexin: “Oh.” Wen Tang skipped over the heiress and looked at the minor actress Wen Qing. Because she was so obscure, there were only a few entries on Baidu, which she finished reading quickly. After reading, she still felt it wasn’t enough. If she was an actress, she should have Weibo, right? Wen Tang switched to Weibo. Indeed. Only tens of thousands of followers, but the updates were quite frequent. Weibo was much more intuitive than Baidu.  There are many selfies showing a sweet and cute appearance, youthful and radiant looks. In terms of appearance, she is indeed presentable and has the capital to be an actress, but that’s all there is to it. If she wants to stand out in the entertainment industry, which is full of beautiful women, based on Wen Tang’s years of experience, it would be very difficult.
