I Want To Retire From the Circle but Become Famous by Acting Poorly

The next day, Su Chengyang got up refreshed and energized. Xiao Lu stayed up late last night and was still sleeping soundly.

Su Chengyang went for a morning run alone and bought some breakfast. On the way back, smelling the fragrant meat buns in her pocket, Su Chengyang was so hungry that her mouth was watering.

But she resisted the temptation and didn’t eat them.

During this period of diet and exercise, her body did get thinner. Su Chengyang didn’t want to lose all her progress, and she could almost imagine Lin Yu saying something like “The penalty fee has been charged to your card” in a certain tone.

After returning to the hotel, she looked up and saw a conspicuous figure sitting in the lobby.

There weren’t many people in the lobby at this time. As Su Chengyang walked in, the man on the sofa raised his head and looked at her.

Su Chengyang paused and was surprised. “Mr. Lin…”

She didn’t even get a chance to finish her sentence before the man on the sofa turned his gaze to the steamed buns in her left hand.

Startled, Su Chengyang quickly raised both hands. “I swear I didn’t cheat! This is breakfast I bought for Xiao Lu.”

Lin Yu glanced at her and then stood up from the sofa, saying with a smile, “No need to be so nervous. I believe you have self-control.”

Su Chengyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, ‘How can I not be nervous? You always bring up the penalty fee.’

“Mr. Lin, why are you here?” Su Chengyang asked as she approached.

“Assistant Xu prepared breakfast for you, and I happened to be passing by, so I asked him to bring it over before returning to the company,” said Lin Yu.

Thinking of Xu Yang’s breakfast, Su Chengyang had no appetite and responded with an annoyed “Oh.”

It seemed like Lin Yu could tell what Su Chengyang was thinking and he smiled, saying, “Don’t worry too much. The reason why we want you to lose weight quickly is that the company has prepared a reality show for you, which will air in a month. After all, it’s like your first show after your comeback, so we hope to leave a good impression on the audience, and we won’t be as strict in the future.”

“Really?” Su Chengyang looked at him skeptically.

“Mhmm.” Lin Yu nodded.

Su Chengyang was overjoyed, “That’s great!”

Lin Yu smiled warmly and said, “Has Assistant Xu mentioned to you before about the company’s rule of not dating? I think it’s necessary to remind you. Although your contract is only for a year and it doesn’t require you not to date, we hope that you won’t date during the contract period, and if you do, you should inform your agent – that’s me – in a timely manner.”

“Mr.Lin, don’t worry, I don’t plan to date anyone in the industry.” Su Chengyang replied.

Lin Yu looked at her and nodded, “Okay.”

As they were talking, Xu Yang walked out of the elevator.

“Mr. Lin, Chengyang.”

“Brother Xu.” Su Chengyang greeted him.

Lin Yu nodded and said to Su Chengyang, “Chengyang, regarding the reality show, we will have you come to the company to learn about it in detail in a few days. We’ll leave first.”

“Okay.”

After watching the two of them leave the hotel, Su Chengyang entered the elevator.

Upon returning to the hotel, Xiao Lu had already woken up.

Seeing Su Chengyang come in, she called out, “Chengyang!”

“Hmm? I bought some buns for you on the way.” Su Chengyang handed the buns to Xiao Lu.

“Do you know that a brand has already announced that they have terminated their contract with Yang Xiuyi and are suing him!” Xiao Lu exclaimed.

“Really?” Su Chengyang didn’t react much.

“Why don’t you have any reaction? Yang Xiuyi has to pay a lot of money, don’t you feel happy at all?” Xiao Lu asked.

“I’m quite happy, but I don’t want to waste any more time and energy on him,” Su Chengyang replied.

Xiao Lu was taken aback, “You’re right, why should I waste my time on a scumbag.”

Su Chengyang smiled and said, “Let’s eat something first, and then go to the gym later.”

“Okay! These buns are so delicious, thank you, Chengyang!”

After that day, Xiao Lu never mentioned Yang Xiuyi again in front of Su Chengyang.

Su Chengyang also didn’t want to pay attention to his affairs anymore and slowly got back to her own pace.

Sometimes when Su Chengyang and Xiao Lu were working out outside, they could take photos with a few people who knew her, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.

At one o’clock in the afternoon, Su Chengyang and Xiao Lu drove to the company. Lin Yu wanted her to learn about the reality show and meet the director to confirm that there were no issues before signing the contract.

From the conversation between the two sides, she learned that the program was invested by Starlight Entertainment, and it was only a trial program. It was short, with only six episodes, and most of the invited artists were like Su Chengyang, with scandals or have already faded from the spotlight.

After confirming that there were no problems, Su Chengyang signed the contract with them.

Su Chengyang had nearly a month to prepare, and during this period, Lin Yu’s task for her was to lose weight.

After everything was settled, Su Chengyang did not leave the company directly. Xiao Lu took her on a tour and they finally had dinner in the cafeteria before leaving.

As they left the underground parking lot in Xiao Lu’s car, Su Chengyang touched her belly and said, “I almost forgot what meat tastes like.”

Su Chengyang spoke with great grievance, and her eyes even began to turn red.

After spending some time together, Xiao Lu came to deeply understand how much Su Chengyang loved to eat. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but sigh and say, “There’s nothing I can do. I never thought that just eating fruits and vegetables every day, and hardly any staple food, would make you gain weight.”

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyang looked at her with red, resentful eyes and said, “Don’t bring up something that has nothing to do with it.”

It’s true, Su Chengyang had gained weight again! She had hardly eaten any meat!

Xiao Lu couldn’t help but laugh and was about to comfort her when a black Toyota car blocked their way as they were about to leave the underground parking lot.

Xiao Lu frowned and honked the horn twice, but the black car showed no sign of moving.

“What’s going on…” Su Chengyang looked forward in confusion, but before she could finish speaking, the car’s right window was suddenly struck by a heavy object, making a deafening sound.

“Be careful!” Xiao Lu reacted quickly, unbuckled Su Chengyang’s seatbelt, and pulled her closer to her side.

“Bang!”

Su Chengyang was startled by the sudden turn of events and stared blankly outside the window as a man wearing a black duckbill hat and a mask held a brick and began banging on her car window like a maniac.

Su Chengyang looked into the man’s eyes and a frame flashed through her mind, causing her to freeze in fear. “He’s the one who attacked me before…”
