The harsh sunlight shone into the warm room. On the big white bed, a woman with a lovely face was sleeping soundly. The early - morning sun cast a warm glow on her face.
In the living room, Chenchen and Wanwan were playing quietly. The fragrance of the meal wafted from the kitchen. Everything seemed warm and wonderful.
"Chenchen, Wanwan, go and wake up your mommy! She's lazier than you kids!" Tu Qinqin said while bringing out the food. She really worried a great deal about this family!
"Okay!" Wanwan quickly ran to Qin Qiao'er's bedroom after hearing that. Looking at Qin Qiao'er sleeping soundly, Wanwan secretly smiled.
"Hehe, Mommy! Wake up! It's time for breakfast. Mommy is a big lazy pig!" Wanwan said with a smile next to Qin Qiao'er's ear.
Qin Qiao'er turned over and grabbed Wanwan. "Who taught you that? Mommy is just too tired, not lazy. Got it?" Qin Qiao'er said languidly.
"Okay! Then Mommy, get up quickly for breakfast!" Wanwan struggled to get up and trotted into the living room on her short legs.
Qin Qiao'er covered her face and took a while to wake up before getting up to wash up. Tu Qinqin couldn't help but say when seeing Qin Qiao'er's messy hair, "Didn't you dry your hair last night? Why is it so messy? Pay attention to your image, okay?"
Qin Qiao'er rolled her eyes. "Who cares about image at home! Stop nagging, old lady!" Qin Qiao'er said with a smile.
"Hey! You're even annoyed with me? I won't serve you later!" Tu Qinqin said with her hands on her hips, looking quite determined.
Chenchen and Wanwan ate their breakfast as if nothing had happened while watching the two start arguing again. Anyway, they didn't really mean to quarrel. The adult world was so hard to understand!
"Don't be like that! I was wrong! We can't do without you. You're the hope of our whole family!" Qin Qiao'er exaggeratedly hugged Tu Qinqin's waist and even pretended to wipe away non - existent tears.
"Go brush your teeth, wash your face and have breakfast! You don't even get up as early as the kids. Why have you been so lazy lately? If I didn't know you don't have a man, I'd think you..."
"Come on! I've just been too tired lately. You know, it's mental exhaustion. It's really tiring." Qin Qiao'er interrupted Tu Qinqin. She was afraid of hearing something strange from her mouth.
"I'm mentally exhausted too!" Tu Qinqin sat down and sipped her soybean milk.
"Yeah, you really are!" Qin Qiao'er nodded seriously. Tu Qinqin didn't care much about her own business but always worried a great deal about their family.
Tu Qinqin rolled her eyes at Qin Qiao'er. Wasn't she doing all this for Qin Qiao'er and the others!
"Hey! I think we're on a good track now. If we take on a few more good variety shows to build up our popularity, we might be able to take on TV dramas in a while." Tu Qinqin said to Qin Qiao'er.
"But I don't know how to act!" Qin Qiao'er said worriedly. It wasn't easy to be an actress.
"I'll keep an eye on you. You can practice more. Let me tell you, it's not that difficult. You just need to show your real emotions in life." Tu Qinqin looked confident.
"Okay! I can give it a try if there's a chance." Qin Qiao'er wasn't really interested in this. As long as she could earn money to support her two kids, that would be enough.
However, Qin Qiao'er felt that things weren't that simple. She had stumbled so many times. If everything went smoothly, it would actually make her a bit scared.
Buzz, buzz, buzz
Tu Qinqin quickly picked up the vibrating phone on the table. Qin Qiao'er saw Tu Qinqin's expression getting worse and worse and felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Director, could you please reconsider? Didn't we agree before? Okay, thank you." Tu Qinqin said with a frown.
"What's wrong?" Qin Qiao'er asked after Tu Qinqin hung up the phone.
Tu Qinqin shook her head. "I don't know what's going on. The show we negotiated before suddenly said we can't go."
Qin Qiao'er's heart tightened. She suddenly remembered Song Qianqian's threat. The woman forced a bitter smile and shook her head. She hoped she was just overthinking.
However, after a while, Tu Qinqin's phone rang again. Tu Qinqin sounded a bit anxious, but finally had to hang up the phone helplessly.
"What's going on? Another show said we don't need to go. This is too much of a coincidence!" Tu Qinqin said impatiently.
Qin Qiao'er knew this must be Song Qianqian's doing. The woman smiled and said, "I know why. It's because of Song Qianqian!"
"Song Qianqian?" Tu Qinqin asked in confusion. Although she also suspected that someone was causing trouble.
"Yeah, do you remember I told you a few days ago that Song Qianqian asked me to leave City A?"
"Remember. What else did she say at that time?" Tu Qinqin asked.
"She was very angry when she left. She said she would cut off my resources." Qin Qiao'er said with a bitter smile.
"This... That bitch Song Qianqian! You've just started out and you really need good resources. If she really ruins your future because of this, I'll beat her to death!" Tu Qinqin said gnashing her teeth.
However, the continuous phone calls made Tu Qinqin a bit panicked. Almost all the shows didn't allow Qin Qiao'er to participate. The ones she had chosen before were all shows with some well - known domestic stars, which made her quite annoyed.
"This society is really like this! Those who have money and power can do whatever they want. Hehe, I originally wanted to increase your exposure." Tu Qinqin said with a self - deprecating smile. There was a hint of exhaustion in the woman's voice.
"Aunt Qinqin, what's wrong with you two?" Chenchen and Wanwan naturally didn't understand these things, but they knew that the two had strange expressions.
"It's okay. Just eat your breakfast well!" Qin Qiao'er said with a smile. What kind of setbacks hadn't she encountered? This couldn't defeat her!
"I think the most important thing is to take good care of Chenchen and Wanwan. I'm just afraid that she'll really do something to them. It doesn't matter if we can't get any shows." Qin Qiao'er said with a frown.
Tu Qinqin nodded. Indeed, Chenchen and Wanwan were more important. However, she was afraid that if Qin Qiao'er didn't appear in the public's sight for a while, she would be forgotten.
"Would you be willing to take on shows with little popularity? I think we can't just do nothing." Tu Qinqin said with a wrinkled brow.
"Sure. I'll do anything." Qin Qiao'er nodded. Actually, she thought it was already very difficult for her to get to this point.
"Okay, I'll think of a way." Tu Qinqin said and didn't even finish her meal. She rushed into the study.
Tu Qinqin sighed as she looked at the previous list of shows. The woman kept making phone calls but was constantly rejected!
Tu Qinqin scratched her head. "Hello, Director. Can we try the show we talked about before?" Tu Qinqin said with a smile.
"Oh, we've already found someone. Sorry."
"Okay!" Tu Qinqin dejectedly put down the phone. The replies she received were all rejections.
