âIt doesnât matter, as long as you mention it to Mr. Li, thatâd be sufficient. I can wait if Mr. Li doesnât have time right now.â Qu Linjun only put on airs in front of him, he didnât have the guts to do so in front of Li Shengxiao
Given that personâs status, itâs not just about a minor district head like him; even the mayor, if he were to come, would have to show respect.
If he wasnât afraid of being rejected without even a chance to see that personâs face, he wouldnât have chosen this roundabout way, approaching the manager first.
The forced manager of Hengtong had no choice but to lead the way with a stiff face, âPlease, District Head, follow me.â
âOkay.â
The group headed toward the elevator.
Only after the group had all entered the elevator did the receptionist girl stretch her neck and whisper in their direction.
âHey, did you see that woman? She looks like that female celebrity Rong Weiwei.â
âI saw her too, just now I wanted to tell you that woman is Rong Weiwei, but they were all waiting here, so I didnât dare to speak up.â
âRong Weiwei doesnât look as pretty in person as she does on TV. At first glance, she seems quite beautiful, but after a closer look, sheâs just average. Iâm not saying sheâs not pretty, but when compared to that other personâ¦â
âWhich other person?â
âThe one who recently appeared on the AQ show, the one who sued her.â
âYou mean⦠Rong Yan?â
âYes, yes, yes, she doesnât look as beautiful as Rong Yan. Plus, I wanted to point out, her makeup is so thick, especially around her eyes. Probably not getting enough rest lately.â
âOf course she isnât sleeping well! Isnât the news lately all about her being a mistress to a fifty-year-old man? I wonder if itâs true?â
âNot sure. Itâs probably not. Her family is so rich, and she makes money as a celebrity; what would she gain from being a mistress for someone else?â
âWho knows what happens in the entertainment industry?â
Rong Weiwei couldnât hear the receptionistsâ gossipy complaints. If she had heard them discussing her and saying she wasnât as pretty as Rong Yan, and bringing up the recent issue with Huang Youde, she wouldâve been furious. Everyone around her knew these two topics were currently her most sensitive points, and if anyone dared to bring them up in front of her by accident, she would fly into a rage.
Unfortunately, even if those around her didnât mention it, the press conference fiasco had been such a spectacle that, despite HuanYu conducting emergency public relations and getting many friendly websites to take down the stories, there were still numerous short videos of Qin Xiang slapping her at the conference circulating online.
Later on, HuanYu, along with Rong Weiwei and Huang Youde, all issued statements denying Rong Weiwei had interfered in anyoneâs marriage or been a mistress.
Yet her recent reputation within the industry was uncontrollably plummeting to the lowest it had been since her debut!
Not just the online public, but even other celebrities in the industry brought up the matter in private discussions, knowing a bit more about the inside story. They all thought that Rong Weiwei had bungled this time, losing more than she tried to gain.
But very few pitied her, for when Rong Weiwei was in her heyday, she had no qualms about using her well-connected boyfriend to bully her colleagues.
Stealing resources, issuing press releases to outshine others at the same event â she had done these things without hesitation.
Now that she was down on her luck, naturally, there was no shortage of people who relished seeing her suffer privately.

Outside the 16th-floor reception room, after briefly informing the three of them, the manager left first.
âHereâs your coffee. Please wait here for a moment,â the assistant offered coffee to the three of them and also quietly left the reception room.
Inside the reception room, the secretary complained unhappily, âWait and wait, always waiting. Weâve already waited downstairs, and now we have to wait again after coming up!â
