Chapter 201 – If you start too many rumors, sooner or later, you’ll face retribution! (3)

“You... What are you going to do?” Editor-in-chief Wang wiped the water off his face with a tissue.

“I’m resigning.”

Editor-in-chief Wang thought that Qin Zhiyin had to be joking. “Resign? Don’t forget there’s a penalty if you break your contract! You still have to work for me for ten years!”

Qin Zhiyin turned a deaf ear to his rant. She threw her work access card on his desk, left his office, glanced at things on her desk, and pushed it all into the trash can. All settled, she left.

Just as Lu Beichuan and Shen Weiyin’s matter came to an end online, someone posted a photo of Ye Zhen on Weibo and claimed to be Ye Zhen’s classmate.

Although the photo was deleted shortly afterwards, people with high aspirations saved a copy and discovered that Ye Zhen looked identical to Ye Qing, an actress that had debuted on a talent show a year ago.

That same classmate broke the news that Ye Zhen and Ye Qing were identical twins. At this time, Ye Qing published a statement to show support of Ye Zhen on her Weibo. She expressed that she had a clear understanding of her younger sister’s character. Her younger sister was kind and gentle and would never do something like be the third party in a relationship.

There was an implied meaning that she was dissatisfied with the Internet’s portrayal of Ye Zhen in the past period.

Soon, Ye Qing attracted a large audience. After people accepted Ye Zhen as the gentle and kind Mrs. Lu, they also accepted that Ye Zhen’s twin sister was a woman with the same moral character.

This minor actress, who was almost about to fade into obscurity, experienced the feeling of being sought after by netizens by relying on this scandal.

As Ye Qing looked at the increasing number of fans and messages on Weibo, she couldn’t stop her growing smile.

The third party benefits from the tussle. She had only given Ye Zhen the news of Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan’s rumors. After that, she just sat back and waited. She had gotten so much popularity and fans from the incident. She had gained so many benefits without any harm to herself.

When the time came, she dialed Ye Zhen’s number.

“Zhenzhen, I’m so happy for you that those rumors were discredited.”

Ye Zhen’s voice was indifferent. “Other than this, is there something else you’re calling about?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You can see that I’m not trying to hurt you now, right? I was hoping that you would be able to clear the reputation of being the third party too.”

Ye Zhen smiled on the other end of the phone. Those words sounded so fake to her.

“Then, thank you very much.”

Ye Qing smiled. “I heard that the company affiliated with Lu Corporation is going to change the spokesperson for that perfume brand?”

“Seems like it.”

Ye Qing’s smile deepened. “Zhenzhen, I was the one that told you about Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan’s issue. We’re sisters again. As the saying goes, you should keep the benefits within your family. Why let an outsider benefit from getting that endorsement deal? Do you agree?”

“Just tell me what you want.”

“I helped you so much. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have even known you were being accused of coming between Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan.” Ye Qing continued to smile. “Could you speak to brother-in-law for me? Ask him to choose me as the spokesman for the perfume brand.”

There was silence on the other end. After a while had passed, Ye Zhen finally said, “Have your agent contact Lu Corporation’s advertising department. If they think you’re a good match, they’ll get back to you.”

Ye Qing’s heart skipped a beat. She was thrilled. She thought that this meant that Ye Zhen was agreeing to speak to Lu Beichuan for her. “Okay, I got it.”

Ye Zhen ended the call, then she looked at the haggard, but still beautiful and magnanimous-looking woman in front of her. “Miss Meng, do you really not want to seize this opportunity to make a comeback? Right now, no one except Lu Corporation dares to invite you to any public event.”
