Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!
Chapter 498 - Chapter 498 Chapter 498 Regretting Till My Guts Turn Green

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Regretting Till My Guts Turn Green Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Regretting Till My Guts Turn Green He had almost wavered.

But thinking of the kindness Xia Shi had once shown him, he ultimately still declined.

The group leader felt this was the wisest decision!

Now, “Goddess to Tomboy Transformation” is all the rage across the internet; even the advertising fees alone are more than they can handle, not to mention other income.

Much more than the money offered by that person behind the scenes.

Most importantly, they had the reputation, the name, and the money!

On the other hand, the production team of “My Star Journey” was green with regret!

When “Deep Palace” had just started and was a big hit, while “Allure” received no attention, that’s why they had replaced Xia Weibao’s interview with Chu Ying at the last minute.

Who would have known that in just over half a month, “Allure” would make a comeback and become explosively popular!

Meanwhile, “Deep Palace” flopped like a dog!

The viewership of “Deep Palace” plummeted, and Chu Ying’s acting came under scrutiny; now, hardly anyone on the internet talks about her.

On the contrary, Xia Weibao is on fire!

Especially since the military stepped in to back her up, the military medal and the position of honorary instructor significantly elevated her status.

Moreover, with “Allure” breaking viewership records time and again, Xia Weibao’s popularity has soared to incredible heights.

Li Qingcheng, with her star-role in “Allure,” graces the headlines every day.

The head of the production team for “My Star Journey” regretted so much that he couldn’t even breathe properly.

Sitting in the chair, he tried to compose himself.

He felt even more aggrieved than if his wife had slept with someone else.

If he hadn’t replaced Xia Weibao, with her tumultuous journey to stardom and her now seemingly unending popularity, her interview would have certainly been a massive hit!

They could even have done a follow-up episode, discussing her feelings about receiving the military medal and her thoughts on becoming an instructor in the military.

A national female hero, such an honor is unprecedented!

So many interview programs want to invite her, but none can secure her presence.

The team leader ruffled his hair, no, he couldn’t just wait for doom; he had to make another attempt.

But then he remembered how he had tried to ingratiate himself with Chu Ying by letting his assistant harshly humiliate Xia Weibao and her agent; calling now would certainly be asking for humiliation.

Yet unwilling to let go of this opportunity, he furiously roared at the assistant.

“It was you who drove her away back then; now hurry up and call to bring Xia Weibao back!”

The assistant felt wronged; it was clearly him who had told them to say those things!

Alas, though angry, they dared not speak out.

To keep their job, they had no choice but to make the call, teeth gritted.

Not daring to call Xia Weibao’s agent’s number, for fear of being scolded.

So they called the front desk of Hongtu Company instead.

Coincidentally, Xia Weibao was in the office that day, so the internal line was patched through.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Oh, it’s the staff from ‘My Star Journey’, huh? What can I do for you?”

Xia Weibao asked with a smile, already chuckling inwardly!

How the tables have turned.

Once they had driven her out, and now they come back begging her!

Finally, the day had come!

In fact, after receiving the military medal, many interview programs wanted her as a guest to talk about her experience as a righteous hero.

Even the national radio station had extended an invitation.

She could double her worth by accepting any one of them!

Yet, she declined them all, solely to wait for “My Star Journey” production team to take the initiative to call her.

The humiliation she received back then didn’t matter to her; with a generous heart, others’ opinions never mattered to her.

But it was different for Xia Shi.

When a production staff member had called Xia Shi an ugly freak, she had distinctly felt Xia Shi’s body tremble slightly.

This affront, she had to return!

“Miss Xia, here’s the thing, our program would like to invite you as a guest for our next episode.”
