Rebirth: It's Not You, It's Me

In the next few years, I stayed in the crew. My parents would come to visit me occasionally, and I became a model worker. The high output of TV series and movies made me more and more famous, and I became busier and busier.

I gained money and connections.

During this period, I would secretly attend their concerts, sit far away, and watch them quietly. But I never appeared beside them. I just watched over everyone silently.

After Shangguan Yuche graduated, he started his own company. Because of the relationship between his parents, he was more successful than others. He has become a big entrepreneur. He still often comes to visit the crew, sends me messages and gifts. Over time, it seems that the hatred I had at the beginning has decreased a lot.

Now we can sit together calmly and talk.

Inside the cafe.

"Luo Luo, your contract is about to expire. Do you have any plans?" Shangguan Yuche asked.

"I want to start my own business, are you interested?"

"Okay, tell me your specific plan."

"I want to start an entertainment company and use my connections and resources to sign artists. I have a keen insight into the entertainment industry, so I can avoid the risk of artists' reputations collapsing. You have experience in starting a company and can manage it. How about we work together?"

"Okay, but you have a PhD in financial management, you have money, and you have connections, why do you want to work with me?"

"I don't want to be involved in the management of the company. I can only provide resources, money, and insight. So after the company is established, I will only be a partner. Just give me dividends at the end of the year. I need time. I want to travel with my grandparents."

"Okay, I understand. Luo Luo, do you want to leave the entertainment industry?"

"I want to maintain some popularity and occasionally shoot movies, but now I want to open up a new track. Travel bloggers are a good choice."

"Are you a famous travel blogger who often posts vlogs of his travels on social media?"

"Yes, I took my grandparents on a trip to fulfill my promise to them. Then I started my own adventure."

"Have you considered?"

"Well! There are very few people doing this in China now, so I want to be the first one to try it."

"You are really a brave and thoughtful girl."

"It's not the first day you know that I'm excellent!" I deliberately joked to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

"Yes, yes, you are the best. No one can compare to you."

"hey-hey……"

"Luo Luo, I know you've been single for the past few years, have you ever thought about finding a boyfriend?"

"Stop, let's stop this topic. If you keep asking this question, you will have no friends!"

"Okay, I won't ask." After saying that, his smile became even more obvious.

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back now. The gossip will come out in a while."

"Okay, Luoluo, call me if you need anything. I'll be there whenever you call."

"Oh!"

I picked up my bag and walked out of the café.

After the company terminated the contract, I bought an RV, took my grandparents with me, and started our journey.

The first stop was my grandma and grandpa’s hometown in Northeast China. This time, my parents and Taotao came with me. My three uncles and aunt also drove back.

"Luo Luo brought us back and brought us honor."

"The whole family has come back to bring honor to grandma and grandpa. You are returning home in glory this time."

"Yes, yes, Luo Luo is right. Returning home in glory is the first time in all my years that I feel so proud in front of my old friends."

My mom and dad attend class reunions every day.

My uncle and aunt are the same, they have parties outside every day.

I stayed at home with my grandparents and received guests. They were all my grandparents’ colleagues and friends when they were young. Although I didn’t know them, I also helped to greet the guests and serve tea and water.

Grandpa was adorned with gold and silver, and took out all his good clothes, wearing a different one every day, to show off: "This is our Luoluo. He was the top student in the country, and many prestigious schools came to our house to recruit him. Later, he went to Tsinghua University, and then he studied and acted at the same time. He made money and got good grades. In less than three years, he got a doctorate. He didn't know we wanted to come back, and was worried that we would suffer on the way, so he bought a motorhome and we came back lying down. This child is filial!"

"Oh, I was wondering why Luo Luo looked so familiar. She was the heroine of that hit military drama last year, right?"

"Yeah, that's it."

The old people were chatting on one side, and I was eating melons on the other side. Watching my grandfather showing off non-stop, I was also very happy, because I finally became someone that my family was proud of.

In the past few days, waves of people came. After hearing my grandfather's boasting, several grandparents said they wanted to introduce their grandchildren to me.

I gave up the idea after hearing what my grandfather said.

"Mr. Zhang, you see Luo Luo doesn't have a boyfriend, but my grandson is a good guy, he works for a state-owned enterprise. He's also very tall. How about introducing them to each other?"

"Our grandson runs a company in the city. He's rich, good-looking, and down-to-earth. Most importantly, he can still care for others even though he's older."

"Your abacus beads are about to fall on my face. My Luoluo got engaged just one year after graduation. The betrothal gift was 9999 million yuan, and she also bought villas in Kyoto and Shanghai, luxury cars, and jewelry by the pound. Luoluo was made unhappy by this, so she dumped him. Until now, that guy has been pursuing Luoluo relentlessly. Do you think she will agree?"

"Lao Zhang, you're exaggerating. There's no such thing as someone that rich."

"Don't disbelieve me, I still have the video of that time in my mobile phone. I'll show it to you. Don't be jealous!" Grandpa took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and played the video for everyone.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, and no one mentioned introducing me to someone again.

After the trip to Northeast China, my family members returned to their hometowns to continue working, while I took my grandparents south, walking and playing along the way, enjoying the mountains and rivers.

When we arrived at Haishi, it was almost winter. I spent a warm winter here with my grandma and grandpa. We returned only when the spring came and it was warm.

I posted the scenery along the way, the views of the journey, and the daily life of my grandparents on social media, and because of the star's aura, the response was enthusiastic.

Many local cultural and tourism bureaus came to me to do publicity.

I also agreed to help with the promotion for free and made a contribution to the country's tourism industry.

After returning to my hometown in the spring, I built a large stray animal rescue center in the village, calling on everyone to adopt instead of buying. Many friends in the entertainment industry helped to forward and promote it.

There were also several friends who loved small animals, who came from far away to adopt puppies and kittens. The star effect also made many people know about this stray animal rescue center. For a while, my stray animal rescue center also became popular.

Then, I handed over the production and processing of daily necessities for stray animals, dog food and cat food to my uncle. After all, my uncle loves these animals very much and takes good care of them.

I also taught my aunt-in-law to select small animals that are more spiritual, and started shooting vlogs of internet-famous cats and dogs, which also became popular on the Internet.
