Actually, Shang Feifei hadn’t expected her to answer so readily.
She had initially dated someone within the circle!
However, the scope of “inside the circle” is quite broad. It includes stars, agents, assistants, and even staff members from television stations and video websites, investors, and film and television producers—all broadly considered insiders.
According to Xia Siyu, her first love was a wealthy man—could it be an investor’s father?
Or perhaps it was the boss of her previous agency, which was also rumored. There was speculation that she was the former boss’s mistress and had a falling out, which led to her moving to Qin Baizhou.
Although Xia Siyu was beautiful, the entertainment industry is never short of beautiful women. She had no power, no influence, and no connections, yet her very first film was a big production that made her an overnight success. Without some sugar daddy backing her, it would have been very difficult to achieve.
She asked again, “Have you worked with him?”
The circle of entertainment industry personnel is immense, but the list narrows down significantly when considering only those she’s worked with.
Xia Siyu nodded again: “Yes.”
At this point, not only Shang Feifei but also other guests present were somewhat shaken.
Over the six years since Xia Siyu’s debut, including “Storm,” she had filmed nine movies and participated in five or six variety shows. If interviews, promotional tours, and advertising collaborations were included, that would still be a few hundred people. However, that number was far less than the vague initial mention of someone in the entertainment industry.
At least, comparing each of her collaborators one by one, gossip might reveal the truth.
Among them, Li Yiru looked particularly excited, perhaps from drinking an extra glass of dark beer, her entire face flushed. Hu Juyue had the expression of someone enjoying the drama; Wang Zisu showed slight surprise along with curiosity. Zhou Weiwei, however, looked worried, quickly glanced at her, and then her gaze swiftly swept over Bo Yan, as if she had something to say but dared not.
Bo Yan alone remained calm, still looking down, gently sipping his drink, his eyelashes casting a shadow.
Suddenly, Shang Feifei seemed to remember something.
Now, Xia Siyu was equated with labels such as “little ruffian,” “lacking common knowledge,” and “college dropout.”
But Xia Siyu had attended college, though she never bragged about it in press releases, and few were aware that the university she dropped out from was the well-known N University. She had attended the same school as Zhou Weiwei and Bo Yan.
Bo Yan had become a teaching assistant in his senior year. During his master’s studies, he even lectured on several occasions, filling in for his advisor to teach a few public courses. Since they were all from the art college, Zhou Weiwei had also attended his classes, technically making her Bo Yan’s student. Xia Siyu and Zhou Weiwei were classmates too, so it was very likely that they knew each other!
Shang Feifei felt a storm brewing inside, but on the surface, her smile was sweeter than ever. She pondered for a moment and then asked a third question, “The one you had your first romance with, is he over thirty, or under thirty?”
This question may seem tricky, but there is a logical thread to it. Before her debut, Xia Siyu was an ordinary college student, and her first love was someone from within the industry.
If she truly had a sugar daddy behind her, he would certainly be over thirty. If it was a fellow artist, then under thirty.
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense, as the attitudes of those in the room shifted from casual curiosity and concern to intense focus on Xia Siyu.
Under everyone’s gaze, Xia Siyu spoke:
