QTIMP -Chapter 170 Character Persona – Overachiever (Part 2)

Madam Tang raised an eyebrow, a restrained smile lingering at the corners of her lips.

“Qiuqiu, you’ve indeed suffered this time. I’ve already spoken to A Yun about it. As for the things you asked for, he’ll arrange them for you as soon as possible. I’ll also give you two additional sets of jewelry. Just focus on recovering your health. You’re still young—if you want a child, there will be opportunities in the future. However, I hope you can accept an interview to help calm the impact this incident has had on the Tang Corporation.”

Si Qiu maintained that same indifferent expression. She was no longer as timid as before, nor did she show her occasional bouts of hysteria. Instead, she seemed as if she were negotiating a business deal.

“That’s fine. But I’m the young madam of the Tang family, and right now the rumors online are spreading like wildfire. I want Tang Chaoyun to give me a satisfactory resolution. Otherwise, I have nothing left now—I don’t know what I might end up doing.”

This actually surprised Madam Tang, but she didn’t think much of it and simply nodded.

There wasn’t really anything else for the two of them to talk about. She stayed for only five minutes before leaving.

From beginning to end, that child only glanced at her once when entering the room, then kept their head lowered the entire time.

The next day, when the nurse came to give her an injection, the door to the ward was pushed open again just after the needle went in. She thought it was someone from the Si family again.

Unexpectedly, a waft of perfume rushed in as someone hugged her tightly.

“Waaah, Qiuqiu! Something this big happened—why didn’t you call me? If I hadn’t seen the news, I wouldn’t even know! That Tang Chaoyun is such a piece of trash—how did you get yourself tangled up with him?”

Si Qiu froze for a moment, then used her free hand to gently pat her back.

“It’s okay, Yingying. After this, I’ve figured things out. I really have. Tang Chaoyun is nothing but spoiled leftovers. I’m not starving to death—I’m not going to eat that again. From now on, I’ll love money and love myself, and I’ll definitely live a flourishing life.”

A snort of laughter rang out.

“You—after going through something like this, how have you become even better at talking?”

Only then did Si Qiu remember—this wasn’t her original world. The internet slang here wasn’t as developed.

So she gave a weak smile. “I’ve just let it all go. Completely. Since there’s no one in this world who loves me, I’ll just love myself.”

Wu Ying reached out and touched her pale face, speaking with complete seriousness.

“Qiuqiu, I love you. I’m your best friend—I will never abandon you.”

Si Qiu leaned into her warm hand and gently rubbed against it.

“I asked that man for 100 million as compensation. Didn’t you say you wanted to start your own entertainment company? Now we have startup capital. Let’s open our own company, sign our own artists, produce our own films and shows—and keep all the profits for ourselves.”

Wu Ying was a talent manager. Back when the two of them were together, she would often complain about the artists under her management and the bottomless behavior of entertainment company bosses.

She always said that once she had gained enough experience, she would start her own company and cultivate the stars she truly liked.

Now, hearing Si Qiu say this, tears began to fall uncontrollably.

“Waaah, Qiuqiu, how can you be this good? Even in this state, you’re still thinking about my dream. Qiuqiu, I must have worked like a beast in my past life to meet a best friend like you in this one.”

Si Qiu stayed in the hospital for a week. Although Yingying was busy, she would come to accompany her whenever she had time, chatting about things in the entertainment industry.

Seeing that Si Qiu was truly serious about starting an entertainment company, the two of them made plans for the future. By the time Si Qiu was discharged, Wu Ying had also resigned from her job.

On the third day, Tang Chaoyun had already prepared everything she requested. She only needed to sign her name, and everything was transferred under her ownership.

Including the two sets of jewelry her mother-in-law had promised—they were all delivered to the villa where she was now living.

However, that very afternoon, Mother Si came over again. Between the lines, she kept emphasizing that her natal family was Si Qiu’s backing—clearly trying to take that 100 million away.

But Si Qiu wasn’t the original host, so she brushed her off without much effort.

During her hospital stay, Si Qiu also used the internet—along with Yingying—to thoroughly understand this new world. It was quite similar to the time before she had transmigrated, with comparable levels of technological and medical development.

Although there were some gaps and inconsistencies in historical development, it didn’t matter much. After all, parallel worlds having such differences was normal.

The key point was the resulting gap in the entertainment industry, which gave entertainment companies huge room for growth.

On the day she was discharged, Yingying and the driver came to pick her up. When she returned to the villa, only the servants were bustling about inside and out.

Yingying was busy registering a company. After giving a few instructions to the servants, she hurried off again.

Si Qiu looked at Zhang Sao, thought for a moment, and then asked, “Where is Tang Chaoyun?”

Zhang Sao answered cautiously, “Sir is probably at the company.”

Si Qiu turned to all the servants present and said, “From now on, this villa belongs to me. If you’re willing to continue working here, then stay. If not, you can leave immediately. But if you stay, you should know whose food you’re eating and whose salary you’re taking. I am the sole owner of this villa. I hope you all understand that clearly.”

The servants exchanged glances, but no one left. Si Qiu nodded and gave further instructions.

“I just had a miscarriage. Make some dishes tonight that I can eat. Also, have a few people come help me clean the entire villa from top to bottom.”

Zhang Sao stepped forward and said carefully, “Madam—no, Miss—you’re still weak. Just give us instructions. You shouldn’t overexert yourself.”

Si Qiu nodded. “Alright. Then from top to bottom, inside and out, remove everything that doesn’t belong to me. I want this house to belong completely to me.”

“Understood.”

Under Zhang Sao’s lead, the servants began to get busy.

Si Qiu picked up her phone and called Tang Chaoyun.

“Hello, what is it?”

“I’ve been discharged today. Come back to the villa tonight for a meal—I have something to talk to you about.”

Hearing this, Tang Chaoyun rubbed the bridge of his nose. In the end, considering that she had just had a miscarriage, he agreed.

Meanwhile, the servants began carrying things downstairs. All of them belonged to Tang Chaoyun—clothes, cufflinks, ties, watches, toiletries, even underwear.

When Tang Chaoyun returned, he saw the living room filled to the brim.

Annoyed, he tugged at his tie. “What is all this?”

Si Qiu wore a relaxed smile. “Nothing much. The house is mine now, isn’t it? So I’m clearing out your things. What do you plan to do with them? Or should I hire a moving company to send them to the old residence?”

Tang Chaoyun had agreed to transfer the villa into her name, but he hadn’t expected that it meant moving out immediately. Although he knew he was at fault in this matter…

He had always thought their marriage was fairly stable, and he didn’t want any upheaval—it would be troublesome.

So in his eyes, what Si Qiu was doing now was simply throwing a tantrum.
