[Heh, you’re not a professional. What makes you think you can act? You’re going to single-handedly ruin a perfectly good tribute drama. And your professor? He’d probably have a heart attack at his desk if he knew you were off shooting a show.]

The hater’s comment hadn’t been up for long before a certain official media account directly quote-tweeted it on Weibo.

The official account: [#Heh, you’re not a professional# Reply: We are very much looking forward to Miss Sinclair’s television series airing on Sunstone TV.]

Generally speaking, this official account’s Weibo page almost never promoted television dramas, let alone individual actors.

When the fans saw the official account so vigorously promoting their idol, their spirits lifted instantly.

[Haha, how’s that for a slap in the face, haters?]

[Haters: Oof, my face hurts.]

[If I can just add something... I read the original novel for "Rivers and Mountains" a few years ago, and the character Chloe is playing is actually a perfect fit for her. The female lead is a scientist. But the ending is the real masterstroke. Anyway, I can’t wait for Chloe’s series to be released.]

The series "Rivers and Mountains" wouldn’t just be broadcast on CTV and Sunstone TV; it would also be released simultaneously across all major online platforms.

This meant the potential viewership would be even larger.

[As a fan, I’m so proud of our girl! Only eighteen and she’s already at the peak of her life.]

[Thinking about what I was doing at eighteen... I suddenly feel like my life is a waste.]

[Same. If my parents had a daughter like her, they’d be over the moon.]

[Jumping in—I’m a student at Emberfall University. Our Professor Myers just saw the trending topic on Weibo and stated that he respects and supports all of Chloe Sinclair’s decisions. He also added a message for ’certain people’ to stop meddling in things that don’t concern them, because Chloe Sinclair’s achievements are beyond what any hater could possibly imagine.]

Just as Chloe Sinclair scrolled to that comment, she saw that several professors from her department had sent her messages on WeChat.

To her surprise, not a single professor in the entire department objected.

Just then, a call came in from Joel Quincy. Chloe Sinclair glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered.

"Professor."

"Mm."

After that, silence fell over the line.

In his office, Joel Quincy stared at a dense string of data on the screen before him, his eyes dark and profound.

"Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?"

Joel Quincy’s voice was deep, instantly making Chloe Sinclair’s heart clench with nerves.

Chloe Sinclair subconsciously fiddled with her hands, explaining with the earnest precision of a schoolgirl, "Professor, your phrasing is a little off. I’m not planning to ’enter’ the entertainment industry. It’s just that if a good script comes along, I’ll accept the role. I’m not going to join the industry full-time."

Joel Quincy was silent for a long moment, his tone laced with disbelief. "Really?"

"Really."

After Chloe Sinclair’s repeated assurances, Joel Quincy finally relaxed.

But then, something else occurred to him. He frowned and began to lecture her sternly, "The entertainment industry only looks glamorous from the outside. It’s filled with all kinds of people. Just look at today. If someone hadn’t stepped in to help you, you’d probably still be getting ripped to shreds on Weibo."

So many people fight tooth and nail to get into the entertainment industry, not just for the luxury and glamour, but more importantly, to satisfy a pathetic and ridiculous sense of vanity.

Joel Quincy was worried that she was too young to understand the serious risks involved.

Fortunately, Chloe Sinclair knew her own goals.

In the end, Joel Quincy still went on for quite a while before finally hanging up.

After hanging up, Joel Quincy suddenly raised his head, his dark gaze fixed squarely on his senior disciple.

Nathan Trenton was in the middle of reading a lab report when he suddenly felt a pair of eyes on him. Startled, he quickly looked up and met Joel Quincy’s gaze.

Nathan Trenton asked, "Professor, is there something you need?"

"How do you download Weibo?"
