After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 1044: Celebration Banquet, The Ji Family’s Reaction (2)

She had no choice but to go abroad to lay low for a while, planning to return to the domestic entertainment scene later.

Her agent sighed, “Going abroad might be for the best.”

But both of them knew that Song Wenhua’s career in the domestic entertainment industry had been severely damaged. No major brands or top teams would be eager to work with her again.

Thanks to Song Wenhua, Great Xia Film Academy also found itself trending on social media.

Netizens, with their impressive detective skills, uncovered the shady dealings between Great Xia Film Academy and Song Wenhua’s team.

You can’t keep secrets forever.

[If I remember correctly, didn’t Great Xia Film Academy once mock Qingqing’s academic scores, saying she couldn’t get into college? And this is what they come up with?]

[Was Great Xia Film Academy trying to open a special backdoor for Song Wenhua? If her scores hadn’t been exposed, would she have gotten into Great Xia Film Academy?]

[Karma is real, and the heavens don’t miss a thing.]

Even Great Xia Film Academy didn’t anticipate that after this scandal, some artists who had planned to apply there for their exams switched to the First Drama Academy instead.

Great Xia Film Academy’s admissions for the year suffered greatly.

After this battle, Si Fuqing firmly established her reputation as the entertainment industry’s moral compass.

The next day, Si Fuqing asked the film crew for leave and flew to Sijiu City, accompanied by Nian Yi’an.

The international joint exams were coordinated by Great Xia University, with tickets booked for all candidates on June 26 to travel to the Muston Dukedom for the exams.

Lin Jihuan also performed well this time, ranking first in North State and seventh nationally.

Lin Bojian was thrilled and invited many of the prominent figures in Sijiu City who were close to the Lin family to a celebratory banquet for Lin Jihuan and Nian Yi’an.

Si Fuqing was also present.

This made the guests at the banquet feel incredibly honored.

Si Fuqing was no ordinary celebrity; her value was immeasurable.

Even the major families in Sijiu City were eager to establish a good relationship with her.

The younger generation, who had been fans of the Oracle game for a long time, all gathered around her, admiring her skills.

“Goddess, please carry us in Oracle!”

“I’d be happy just to be a sidekick.”

“Let’s get in-game now! Playing with the goddess means we might earn a few titles today.”

The Lin family’s villa had an esports room, and Si Fuqing didn’t refuse, leading them through a few game levels.

She had no interest in the following dance, so she took two bottles of wine and headed to the back of the courtyard.

After quickly downing one bottle, she smelled the familiar scent of night-blooming osmanthus, growing stronger in the evening breeze.

She looked up, her eyes slightly blurred. “Brother Nine.”@@novelbin@@

Yu Xiheng looked at her and let out a soft chuckle. “You’re in a good mood.”

“Very good,” Si Fuqing replied, her fox-like eyes half-closed as she lazily leaned back. “I haven’t felt this happy in a long time.”

She then finished the second bottle, squatted down while hugging her knees, looking very obedient.

Yu Xiheng crouched down as well, gently placing his hand on her soft hair.

He didn’t wish for her to rise to the top of the world.

He just wanted her to be happy every day.

On June 26, Ji Qingwei and the Ji family were on their way to the airport.

Due to her health, Ji Qingwei hadn’t taken the college entrance exam.

The Ji family was intent on making their way into the Free State, so they didn’t care much about the college entrance exam.

Now that Ji Qingwei had secured a spot in the international joint examination, as long as she scored well, the Ji family would have a strong chance of breaking into the Free State.

In comparison, the college entrance exam seemed insignificant.

“Longtai, I heard from Mrs. Lu yesterday that someone scored a perfect score in this year’s college entrance exam,” Mrs. Ji said. “That score is terrifying.”

“A perfect score in the college entrance exam?” Ji Longtai scoffed. “If even our Qingwei couldn’t achieve that, it’s surely just social media exaggeration.”

Mrs. Ji nodded in agreement.

Especially with subjective questions in language and reading comprehension—how could anyone get a perfect score?

After passing through security, the three of them headed to the VIP lounge.

In high-traffic places like malls, airports, and train stations, advertisements featuring Si Fuqing’s endorsements were everywhere.

Even though Mr. and Mrs. Ji didn’t follow the entertainment industry much and didn’t use social media, they couldn’t ignore Si Fuqing’s presence.

Ji Qingwei clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

She had originally planned to make her way back into the public eye step by step once her health improved.

But reality didn’t give her that time—Si Fuqing had already reached an unattainable peak.

Ji Qingwei glanced briefly at RM’s latest advertisement, feeling a deep sense of discomfort, as if ants were gnawing at her.

She forced herself to look away.

Sijiu City’s international airport had duty-free shops, and RM, being a top luxury brand, had stores for luggage, watches, clothing, and beauty products.

Mrs. Ji, a fan of RM, was about to head there when she noticed a long line in front of the beauty products store—at least a hundred people.

The luggage and clothing stores were also packed.

Ji Longtai was also surprised.

RM was popular, but there were plenty of physical stores. He had never seen the airport shop this crowded before.

Could there be some sort of promotion?

He approached a passenger who had just exited the store with a gift bag.

“Oh, RM is having a promotion,” the passenger said, in a good mood after receiving their gift. “Their spokesperson got the top score in the national college entrance exam, so everyone gets a prize, and there’s a 40% discount on clothing and luggage.”

Ji Longtai froze mid-step. “Spokesperson? College entrance exam? National top score?!”

These three terms, which he understood individually, seemed incomprehensible when combined.

Ji Qingwei’s heart clenched tightly, her ears ringing, leaving her momentarily deaf.

She knew very well who RM’s spokesperson was.

Mrs. Ji had bought an RM skincare set a while ago, which included three of Si Fuqing’s postcards as a bonus.

She hadn’t even looked at them before tearing them up.

But now, national top score?

“That’s right.” The passenger enthusiastically pointed ahead. “Look over there.”

The Ji family turned to see the large red banner.

[RM, in collaboration with Oracle, congratulates Miss Si Fuqing for achieving a perfect score in the national college entrance exam !]
