After finishing the phone call, Li Chunhua was excited for quite some time before she calmed down outside.

She turned and went back into the room, forcing herself to contain the excitement, and waited a long while until she felt everyone had chatted enough before suggesting to call it a day.

After the gathering, since today was Xu Qingqiu's important day, everyone insisted on toasting, and she couldn't refuse to drink.

Having no other choice, Chu Tian, who never liked drinking, had to step forward.

As a result, he became everyone's target and drank quite a bit throughout the night.

So when it was time to head back, Li Chunhua had to drive.

"Phew, I'm exhausted. Finally, I can have a good rest. When we get back tonight, I'm going to sleep soundly. Shall we go on a trip in a few days?"

As soon as Xu Qingqiu got in the car, she felt utterly weary, but she perked up when she mentioned traveling.

Chu Tian saw Xu Qingqiu's eyes sparkle with anticipation as she looked at him, and he quickly nodded.

"Sure, where would you like to go?"

"I want to go to..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Chunhua opened the door and got into the car.

"Qingqiu, are you two okay?"

"Hmm? Yeah, just a bit tired."

Her train of thought interrupted, Xu Qingqiu's mind blanked for a second.

Tonight, Xu Qingqiu had also had a couple of glasses of red wine. Although it was red wine, given her low tolerance, she was already a bit flushed.

In contrast, Chu Tian, despite clearly having had about half a jin of white liquor, seemed almost unaffected.

"What's up, Sister Hua? Earlier, you seemed different after taking that phone call. Is something going on?" Chu Tian asked, noticing that Xu Qingqiu hadn't picked up on it.

Li Chunhua glanced at him through the rearview mirror as she started the car, a smile playing on her lips as she said, "Why don't you two take a guess?"

"Guess?"

It wasn't just about guessing. For Li Chunhua, who rarely joked, to ask them to guess—had the sun risen from the west?

"What's the situation, Sister Hua? Is there some good news?" Xu Qingqiu asked.

It had to be said that Xu Qingqiu knew her well. If Li Chunhua was in the mood to joke, she must be very happy, which certainly implied good news.

"You're right, it is good news. Take a guess."

Xu Qingqiu looked at Li Chunhua, who was driving, and paused before saying, "I guess it's about the concert trending? Or is it that PR didn't encounter any difficulties?"

The so-called difficulties were simply about the direction of public opinion, and whether she would be understood or criticized was crucial. After all, announcing a relationship openly was like gambling; if she lost, it would be a major blow to Xu Qingqiu's career. It wouldn't necessarily force her into retirement. However, it would at least slow her progress, and she would have to endure more attacks and dislike from fans who turned against her.

Under such circumstances, it was easy to lose the goodwill of the general public. Why do celebrities yearn for a good reputation so much? Ultimately, it's all about their appeal to this general public. Everyone talks about relying on fans and such, but how many true fans are there? Out of a hundred people willing to spend money, it's considered good if ten are fans; the remaining ninety percent are just average consumers. These are the people who quietly consume what interests them without making a fuss on social media. Yet, they make up the majority of the market; what celebrity wouldn't want to win them over?

Of course, this excludes certain unscrupulous celebrities who only exist to fleece their followers, much like scammers. If you're willing to spend money, you're a 'dear little fan,' and your idol 'performs' for you every day. But once you're out of money, what are you to them?

Unfortunately, she guessed wrong. Seeing Li Chunhua shake her head, Xu Qingqiu's interest was piqued.

"Eh? Could there be some other good news?"

Seeing her surprised look, Li Chunhua was about to spill the beans, but Chu Tian suddenly chimed in, "Is it a new gig? A top-tier magazine? Or maybe a hit variety show?"

"Eh?" Li Chunhua looked at him in surprise, not expecting Chu Tian to guess that.

But then she shook her head and said, "You're right, but also not quite."

With that, Chu Tian instantly understood.

"Got it. There's a new gig, but it's not a magazine, right?"

"Smart! Well done, Chu Tian!"

Facing Li Chunhua's astonishment, Chu Tian remained unfazed; he had experienced this kind of thing before at a similar stage in his life. He was naive the first time he received top-tier resources. After studying abroad and lying low for two years, he came back to a burst of success with new top-tier opportunities. His situation back then mirrored Xu Qingqiu's current circumstances.

"So what's this new opportunity? It must be something that makes Sister Hua this happy?"

This time, Li Chunhua didn't keep them in suspense and simply stated, "It's from Tianmu's microblogging platform. They've invited Qingqiu to this year's annual festival."

"The annual festival?"

Chu Tian truly didn't know about it. He hadn't even been here for a full year since his transmigration. His predecessor had lived aimlessly for several years, hardly caring about such matters, so even his memories didn't include anything related to it.

However, Xu Qingqiu was very aware of the significance of this invitation.

"The annual festival?! Really, Sister Hua?"

"Yes, truly. They just called me. I didn't expect it either."

"But why me?" Xu Qingqiu still didn't quite understand why she was invited.

"If you're asking me, who am I supposed to ask? It's good news, isn't it?"

Indeed, for such a top-tier resource to invite her... if there was a catch, what kind of person would need to set such a big trap with such significant bait? So, most likely, there shouldn't be any problem.
