  The editor felt slightly embarrassed and explained, “You ang Xingze were voted the most popular on-screen lovers a while ago, weren’t you? The camaraderie between you and him was so good on ‘The Love Diary’ that the fans were still talking about it. As you can see, The Lucky Couple is still very well-received. I personally think that you two are very compatible.”


  “As you’ve just mentioned, we are merely an on-screen couple. There’s no need to project that into our real lives. Xingze is an excellent senior, and as his junior, I’m in no position to comment. If Li Xiang’er is his partner, then I give them my blessings.” Her impeccable reply took everyone by surprise.

  Her assistant chipped in smilingly. “Let’s put this topic aside, alright? Our interview today is mainly about Shishi’s current production and her upcoming TV show, ‘Lethal Beauty’, which will soon be aired on major TV channels, so let’s skip discussing irrelevant subjects.”


  Despite the editor’s reluctance, he had no choice but to put the hot topic aside.

  After the interview, Mu Xi grumbled to her artist, “Shishi, I really feel indignant for you! That Li Xiang’er is using you as a springboard to stardom; how undignified!”


  “That’s how showbiz works. If one wants to establish a career in this industry, one must learn to face the hidden rules.” After saying that, she asked the young woman to go for lunch. “We still have to complete some photoshoots in the afternoon, so let’s take a break to eat lunch now.”


  “Alright.”


  In the end, the actress got the men to go along for lunch, and the four of them went to a restaurant next to the office.

  The atmosphere was rather depressing at the dining table.

  With an ugly expression on his face, Qin Zhou browsed through the Weibo platform nonstop. Even Ji Lin, who was normally very composed and cool, had a frown on his face throughout the whole time. It looked like the issue on hand had turned dire.

  The actress ordered a bowl of noodles for herself, but the strands of food tasted like wax, instead. Staring at the bowl, she kept stirring the noodles.

  Meanwhile, Weibo was in havoc.

  The tweet that Li Xiang’er posted that morning had received 150,000 comments. Despite the countless furious remarks and curses, the model chose to remain indifferent, yet to take a further stance on this matter.

  This was a usual ploy to create more attention and publicity by maintaining silence.

  “How long more do we have to endure this?” asked Mu Xi worriedly.

  The manager did not answer her but merely put his phone away to drink his alcohol.

  ‘The shameless have more to fear than the ruthless.’


  This saying held true here.

  The head producer replied finally, “Let’s put this thing aside in the meantime. Later, we shall see if we can come up with a strategy.”


  The manager, who had been mulling over this silently for some time, commented all of a sudden, “If Li Xiang’er is going to persist with this hype, then I don’t mind playing along.”


  Hope flashed across the assistant’s face. “What do you mean?”


  “She’s making use of Shishi now, so likewise, our artist can also ride on her publicity stunt. This will be a competition between both media teams.”


  Yun Shishi kept quiet for a long, long time before she swallowed a mouthful of noodles suddenly and let out a heavy sigh of resignation……

  When Gu Xingze arrived at his studio, the place was in an upheaval. His team greeted the superstar in jittery as they saw him walking in, “Boss Gu.”


  After he broke away from Qin Zhou, the superstar had set up his independent studio. Many senior members in his team left after he was banned from showbiz; hence, his crisis team was especially weak. They were still unable to produce a satisfactory management plan up to this point.

  This was a very thorny issue on hand.
