Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change - Chapter 5 - The Superstar, Su Keqing

Chapter 5: The Superstar, Su Keqing

His words aroused public outrage.

“Lin Feng, what are you saying? She meant well!”

“You’re really ungrateful, like a dog biting Lu Dongbin. Are you crazy?”

(TL: This idiom is used to describe a situation where someone fails to recognize another person’s good intentions and instead responds with hostility or ingratitude.)

“You didn’t fail your job change because of us. If you’re so tough, why don’t you go after that person? Or are you afraid?”

Everyone glared angrily at Lin Feng and started to criticize him.

Lin Feng regretted his words almost immediately. Regardless of those others, Xie Ting genuinely meant well. He realized he had been too impulsive and extreme.

Seeing Xie Ting’s aggrieved expression, Lin Feng opened his mouth to apologize, but he just couldn’t say the words. For a moment, Lin Feng became the target of public condemnation.

Just then, a sports car stopped in front of Lin Feng. The window rolled down, revealing an incredibly beautiful face.

“Xiaofeng, I’ve kept you waiting~ Get in.”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, opened the car door, and got in. The sports car then sped away, leaving the crowd in disarray.

“Was that just… Su Keqing!???” Someone exclaimed.

Immediately, everyone was in an uproar! Su Keqing, a household name, is a superstar. An S-level support profession—Star Singer, though she debuted only two years ago, she has already become the brightest new star in Donghai Province’s entertainment industry.

Many high-level professionals are her fans! In school, everyone had heard Su Keqing’s songs; they were her fans!

Su Keqing’s concert tours were packed every time. In the eyes of the students, Su Keqing was an idol goddess, someone far beyond their reach. And they had just seen Su Keqing up close!

“How could Lin Feng… possibly know Su Keqing?”

Lin Feng was just an ordinary student, while Su Keqing was a superstar known to all, living in completely different worlds!

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that the world had gone crazy…

…

“Xiaofeng, how did the awakening ceremony go today? With your talent, you should at least have an S-level profession, right?” Su Keqing had light purple hair, exquisitely delicate features, and a stunning appearance, as if blessed by the heavens.

Especially her eyes, as bright as stars. She seemed dreamy, like a fairy from the mountains who had descended to the mortal world. The faint fragrance emanating from her made Lin Feng, sitting in the passenger seat, feel captivated and enchanted…

Many people would wonder how an ordinary high school student like Lin Feng could know a superstar like Su Keqing and seem so familiar.

The reason is simple…

Lin Feng and Su Keqing had known each other since childhood, essentially childhood sweethearts. Su Keqing’s family used to be Lin Feng’s neighbors, and the families were close. At eighteen, Su Keqing awakened as an S-level Star Singer.

From then on, the Su family’s fate changed. Su Keqing was signed by the famous entertainment company Jashi Interactive Entertainment and quickly rose to fame as a new star, establishing herself in Donghai Province’s entertainment industry within two short years.

The Su family, too, experienced a meteoric rise, moving to the affluent district of Donghai City. Since then, the two families had lost contact, but Su Keqing still remembered her little brother Lin Feng and cared about him deeply.

Today, she had agreed to have dinner with Lin Feng to celebrate his career awakening.

Hearing the anticipation in Su Keqing’s voice, Lin Feng’s expression froze, and he lowered his head, shook it after a moment of silence, and said, “I… failed the job change. My awakening ceremony was disrupted…”

“What!?” Su Keqing suddenly stopped the car, her face full of surprise: “How could the awakening ceremony be disrupted?!”

She was genuinely surprised and confused, as it had been many years since such an incident had occurred.

Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness: “Today, a spiritual powered plane landed and disrupted my awakening ceremony, so I failed the career change. Now I am… an SS-level Non-Specialist!”

SS-level!

Su Keqing covered her mouth, filled with regret. That means, if everything had gone smoothly, Lin Feng would have had an SS-level profession!

Su Keqing knew what that meant; if Lin Feng had successfully changed to an SS-level profession, he would have immediately ascended, with a future of limitless achievements.

He even had a great chance of becoming a legendary powerhouse!

Su Keqing looked at Lin Feng with sympathy and pity, but she didn’t know how to comfort him.

Lin Feng’s face was dark as he recalled the humiliation he had suffered at school, his heart filled with resentment and anger.

“I will find out who disrupted my awakening ceremony. No matter who it is, I will not let them go; I will make them pay the most terrible price! Even heaven won’t be able to protect them, I swear!!!” The young man’s vow was strong and full of determination.

Su Keqing nodded slowly, saying softly, “I know some people who can help you.”

Although Su Keqing was in the entertainment industry, her status was quite extraordinary, with many important people being her fans, proud to dine with her.

Among them were high-ranking officials and high-level professionals.

Just as Lin Feng was about to say something, Su Keqing’s phone rang. She glanced at it, her expression changed slightly, and she gestured for Lin Feng to be quiet.

She answered the phone: “Hello, Sister Zhou.”

The caller was her manager, Sister Zhou, who was also an executive at Jashi Interactive Entertainment.

A capable female voice came from the other end: “Keqing, President Jiang just called and asked you to attend a dinner party tonight. I’ve sent you the location. It’s at a private club owned by Young Master Jiang.”

Upon hearing this, Su Keqing looked troubledx “But I have plans tonight.”

“Tonight’s dinner is very important; I heard a big figure will be there. It’s non-negotiable.”

Hearing this, Su Keqing could only nod and agree: “Alright, I understand.”

Though she was a superstar, in the entertainment industry’s world of fame and fortune, she was often not in control.

After hanging up, Su Keqing gave Lin Feng an apologetic smile: “I’m sorry, Xiaofeng, I have a dinner engagement tonight that I must attend, so I’ll have to break our appointment.”

Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned, suddenly feeling displeased. He didn’t like Su Keqing attending such engagements.

He liked Su Keqing!

After all, the dealings of the entertainment world are well-known. Thinking of his goddess going to a dinner party to socialize with other men that night, Lin Feng felt a surge of jealousy!

Lin Feng blurted out, “Can’t you not go?”
