Chapter 24 - Fatty’s Revenge (3)
Chapter 24 – Fatty’s Revenge (3)
Lin Yueqi’s acting wasn’t the best in the entertainment circle, but she was the most hardworking out of all the popular female stars.
She was willing to film in cold pools during the winter, and was also willing to take on action scenes by herself that would last hours on end.
A year and a half ago, Lin Yueqi accepted a large production movie called “Absolute”, and the few opening scenes were shot in the highlands. On the third day, Lin Yueqi had to bear with her altitude sickness while shooting a horseback action scene, nearly losing her life when she fell off the horse’s back.
But during the days when she was lying in the hospital, Qin Xue suddenly appeared. With her injury as the reason, management swapped her out.
Not only that, she was also surprised to find after the movie was released that the action scenes she shot had her face completely snipped up by the director and used in the final cut. She had somehow turned from the heroine to one of Qin Xue’s stunt actresses.
It was for that reason that she did not hesitate to break relations with the company, offending several bigwigs and missing out on many gigs.
Her agent always advised her that she should learn to comply if she didn’t have the background to back her up and that it wasn’t that hard to accept the rules. But she had stubborn bones and was determined not to give in. In the eyes of a passerby, she was just jealous of Qin Xue. But she never felt any jealousy for her. She just wanted to take back what was hers.
She couldn’t understand why her efforts would always turn out to be futile. In the beginning, she blamed herself for not being good enough, and that she wasn’t born good enough, nor was she outstanding enough…Her negative energy was already beginning to feed into Qin Xue’s system in a steady stream.
Qin Xue’s “Flourishing Beauty” system was being well nourished by her negative energy, and her beautifying index had already been upgraded to level 4 and 5 in just a year and a half.
Qin Xue continued her pursuit for victory and pulled out her trump card. Tuantuan. This caused Lin Yueqi’s career to fall completely into a slump. Meanwhile, her beautifying index was upgraded from level 5 to level 6.
She thought that Lin Yueqi’s disfigurement this time would definitely allow her “Flourishing Beauty” system to break through to level 7, but she never expected it to drop from level 6 to level 4, leaving her completely puzzled.
Qin Xue intended to use the “Celebrity College Exam Competition” to raised Lin Yueqi’s negative energy by “beating” her in the show.
After all, she always had better grades than Lin Yueqi in school, and with all the things happening with Lin Yueqi recently, she definitely wouldn’t have had time to review her high school exam questions. She believed that at Lin Yueqi’s current level, the only thing she qualified to do was tutor primary school students.
But she was different. She was long ready for this. Just two days ago, she made time just to test herself on the combined paper from the last season of “Celebrity College Exam Competition”. The entire set consisted of 420 mixed questions and she managed to achieve 320 points. That was already enough to break the records of every other star before her.
The contents of the questions from “Celebrity College Exam Competition” would not be revealed to the stars, so she was convinced that she would become the highest scorer.

Lin Yueqi terminated her contract with her company the next day and posted about the cancellation on Weibo.
There were fans who asked where she would go after this, and what she planned to do, but she just responded she’ll “do things herself”. All her fans thought she was joking.
A day before the shooting for “Celebrity College Exam Competition”, the official blog announced news of Lin Yueqi’s participation in the show. When the news was released, the show was boycotted by many netizens.
You could hardly find a single favorable comment on their Weibo.
