After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 232 Approaching Top Rank

[Current popularity conversion in progress, monetizing national popularity: Your current national popularity is exactly 80.]

Congratulations on your rise to the rank of well-known artist.

[Netizens thank you for speaking out, which will help you monetize your blog.]

Shortly after, the national artist rankings released their four lists for this year.

Su Qi unsurprisingly jumped to tenth place on the top popularity list.

The WeChat group for "Actors and Actresses Helping Out" has been quiet for a long time, especially after several celebrities got into trouble one after another. Now that Zheng Ran has gotten into trouble, the group has kicked out these people to avoid suspicion.

Mumu: This year's artist rankings were released early. I guess the reason is that they don't want artists who have had scandals to still be on the list and trying to gain attention.

Xiao He: Tell me, how did she jump from the potential list to the top list?

Xiao Zhang: Anyway, I'm not in first place, so who cares?

Xiao He: I asked you guys to bring Li Yancheng in before, but you wouldn't listen. Now our little group is getting smaller and smaller.

Mumu: Sigh, let's just bring Su Qi in then. Anyway, Li Yancheng will agree to come in.

Xiao Zhang: Yes, let's win them over first. The Zheng family has fallen on hard times, we can't hang ourselves on a crooked tree!

Less than three minutes later, Su Qi received a group invitation from an anonymous WeChat account.

However, just as she was about to click to confirm, Gu Xing called.

"I saw you on the list. Be wary of group traps."

"What? A trap?" She was taken aback.

"Yes, the top list usually only has ten people. People in the industry like to form cliques. Those people will invite you to join the group. You must not join. Once you join, they will find something to use against you."

"If you can do them a good thing, they'll treat you as a friend; if you can't, they'll throw you out first."

Gu Xing had been through it all, and Su Qi didn't think Gu Xing was lying to him. Anyway, there was no benefit to forming a small team.

But Su Qi, on a whim, still wanted to tease him: "I've already agreed and joined the group. What's the name 'Actor and Actress Helping Out'? Tsk, that's such a corny name."

Gu Xing frowned upon hearing this, then laughed out loud: "It is quite rustic..."

Actually, Su Qi didn't join the group, but she could see the group name.

"You've gone in... and then what? They're probably fawning over you now, hoping you'll find them all some resources next time."

"Yes, you guessed correctly."

Gu Xing pursed his lips: "Fine, since you're already in there, I'll use my experience to tell you how to survive in a small group..."

Su Qi raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Gu Xing not only wasn't angry, but actually taught her word by word.

After hanging up the phone, Feifei couldn't help but complain: "He's got a pretty good temper. Master, choose this one, not Shen Chaohuai."

Su Qi patted Fei Fei's head: "No, how can he be compared to Shen Chaohuai?"

[It seems the master still prefers Shen Chaohuai...]

Su Qi was in a great mood and went to check the comments on the blog.

[First Floor: Xiao Qi is truly amazing, right? She deserves to be on the top of the popularity charts, doesn't she?]

[Second Floor: We can ship couples within the reality show, but outside of it, shipping is prohibited. We don't want to market this; my Xiao Qi is super cute!]

[Third Floor: Sister, you truly are a modern-day "female Sherlock Holmes." You solved numerous cases in the simulated crime dating reality show, and now you've managed to uncover Zheng Ran's hidden secret in real life!]

[Fourth floor: Xiao Qi has become famous beyond the circle because of this title, hahaha! All of you here deserve some credit.]

Looking at the comments, Su Qi was somewhat dazed, and suddenly thought of Gu Yan's eerie smiling face.

What's wrong with the master?

"Don't you think my promotion this time was too smooth? I didn't even spread any rumors, yet the police were alerted?"

Hmm... yes, a little. Should we revert to a previous save to check?

"Ah."

Okay, the rollback system has been activated for you.

Please select a gear.

She moved her fingers slightly and arrived at the scene where Zheng Ran had sent people to set fire.

She circled the area for a week before finally spotting a familiar figure.

Gu Yan, the woman who disappeared long after the Shen family's incident, has unexpectedly appeared here at this time.

Gu Yan handed something resembling a USB drive to her assistant: "Whether I can take back the Gu family's assets depends on this one move."

"But Miss, are you really going to help Su Qi? You've always hated her the most..."

"What else can we do but help her? She's the only one capable of standing up to him."

Gu Yan paused.

"Have they caught the arsonist?"

"Yes."

"Alright, once this is exposed, we'll expose that person to the public. I've used Shen Qingyue for so long, I can't let her die in vain."

Su Qi, with his transparent body, walked up to Gu Yan and heard what Gu Yan said.

Gu Yan continued, "I brainwashed Shen Qingyue multiple times in the Shen family, making her hate Su Qi and oppose Su Qi at every turn. I just wanted to find someone to get rid of Su Qi for me, but... she died. She was really useless."

"Since my piece is already broken, let it play its greatest role."

The scene shifts, and the rollback system arrives in front of a company, the place where Gu Yan's project has restarted.

"Suppressed public opinion? Then let's add fuel to the fire..."

"Oh, right, and the cyber police, let me remind them about this matter."

……

[You have been reverted to the current event point.]

Su Qi couldn't believe that Gu Yan, who actually hated her to the core, would actually help her.

Shen Chaohuai arrived, and Su Qi heard the doorbell ring: "Xiao Qi, it's me."

Su Qi went to open the door: "Shen Chaohuai."

"Ah."

Shen Chaohuai noticed her pale face and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy to be a top star?"

"I haven't become a top star yet." Su Qi put his hands in his pockets.

Upon seeing the system Feifei brought up, he immediately understood: "Su Qi, did Gu Yan come looking for you?"

She nodded.

"I found out, she was adding fuel to the fire in this incident."

"Logically speaking, she dislikes you and shouldn't help you."

Even Shen Chaohuai could see it, so Su Qi naturally understood as well: "She's two-faced. She used to try to please everyone, but that was just a way of surviving. Now that I'm rising to prominence, I'm not surprised that she wants to use me to achieve her goals."

"By the way, you're here to..."

Shen Chaohuai pursed his lips: "I'd like to invite you to dinner to celebrate."

Su Qi looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You didn't get any benefits this time, so what's there to celebrate?"

He spoke firmly, looking into her eyes: "If you reap the benefits, then I'll consider it as if I've also reaped them."

"Have you considered terminating your contract with Tianjin Tianhai, and then I'll promote you?"

Su Qi paused for a moment: "No, I want to open my own studio so I don't have to give kickbacks to the company."

"but……"

The thought of Old Dong from Tianhai not showing up yet made her anxious. When would she finally regain her freedom?

"Let's go eat first. We can't talk about this now. The directors of Tianhai aren't here, so it's pointless to discuss this now."

Shen Chaohuai patted her on the shoulder: "I invited someone to eat with us today."

"Who?" Su Qi asked as she followed him into the car.

"Gu Xing."

Su Qi asked, puzzled, "Why did you invite him? He just got out, but because of what happened before, you need to avoid suspicion to some extent."

"There's no need to avoid suspicion," Shen Chaohuai said.

Su Qi didn't understand what he meant, and Shen Chaohuai explained somewhat guiltily, "Anyway, it'll be soon..."

"A family?" she casually replied.
