After they were seated, Liu Songling said, "This is Miss Deng Qi, though I suppose no introduction is needed." Finishing, he turned to Deng Qi and said, "These two, Miss Deng Qi must know, right?"
Deng Qi tossed her wavy hair away from her face, crossed her legs elegantly, and said with a smile, "How could I not? These past few days they've been all over the front pages, nearly pushing us lesser-known singers out of the spotlight."
"Qi, you don't have to put it that way. You are my senior, and I have always respected you. None of the coverage was sought out by me," Shi Bi'er briefly explained, still unsure why so many in the industry looked at her unfavorably.
"Hmph! Even without seeking it out, you hit the headlines. If you tried, you'd dominate the page, flaunting what exactly? It's as if the rest of us have never been in the limelight," rebuked Deng Qi, contemptuously rolling her eyes almost to the back of her head.
