âYou took up an hour of our shooting time.â
Qiao Jiaxi was sitting on the ground. Lin Shanchu looked down at her, her tone lazy and her aura oppressive.
Qiao Jiaxi had recently found herself a sugar daddy who was willing to throw money at her.
That was why she dared to take up the shooting time and throw a tantrum.
When she remembered that she had someone backing her up, Qiao Jiaxi immediately hardened her resolve. âItâs just an hour. Iâll pay you guys.â Lin Shanchu didnât want to waste time with Qiao Jiaxi.
She turned around and looked for the accompanying staff. âCan I borrow your phone? Thank you.â
The staff member hesitated for a moment before handing his phone to Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu tapped on the phone a few times and pointed the phone at Qiao Jiaxi. âRepeat what you just said.â
âWhat are you doing?â Qiao Jiaxi frowned.
Lin Shanchu looked up at her from behind the phone. âLive broadcast.â
âYouâre f*cking crazy!â Flustered and exasperated, Qiao Jiaxi started cursing on the spot.
Qiao Jiaxiâs staff also tried to snatch the phone away.
Lin Shanchuâs accompanying staff immediately came out to protect her.
What a joke.
Before they came out, the director had repeatedly instructed that absolutely nothing must happen to Lin Shanchu, their key element of popularity.
The scene became chaotic for a moment.
Qiao Jiaxi thought about how she was almost banned because of Lin Shanchu. Anger rose in her heart, causing her to want to slap Lin Shanchu in the face.
However, she was not as tall as Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu was already prepared. She easily grasped Qiao Jiaxiâs wrist in return.
The other staff members were all shocked.
âQiao Jiaxi, what are you doing?â
Recently, Lin Shanchuâs popularity had been high. Even if Qiao Jiaxi had a sugar daddy, her popularity was far lower than Lin Shanchuâs.
It was fine that Qiao Jiaxi acted arrogantly, but she actually dared to attack Lin Shanchu in public.
Lin Shanchu coldly shook off Qiao Jiaxiâs hand.
Qiao Jiaxi raised her hand again while looking dissatisfied..
Howeverâ¦
Lin Shanchuâs movements were faster than hers.
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap was unusually loud in the studio.
The originally noisy studio instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Lin Shanchu and Qiao Jiaxi.
Was Lin Shanchu crazy?
She actually dared to hit someone in public?
Qiao Jiaxi covered her face while staring at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. âHow dare you slap me!â
Lin Shanchu shook her hand while nodding seriously. âYup.â
Her expression was as arrogant as it could get.
Qiao Jiaxi was furious. âYouâ¦â
Qiao Jiaxi couldnât take this lying down and still wanted to go against Lin
Shanchu.
However, when she saw Lin Shanchu moving her wrist, she was stunned and subconsciously covered the other side of her face.
The staff members at the side couldnât bear to watch.
Qiao Jiaxi was so cowardly, and yet she still wanted to provoke Lin Shanchu.
âGet out of the way.â Lin Shanchu raised her chin and motioned for Qiao Jiaxi to move aside.
Qiao Jiaxiâs face was filled with dissatisfaction as she spoke ruthlessly. âI⦠Iâm going to expose you!â
But she still moved to the side obediently. âWho are you exposing?â
A manâs voice came from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou standing by the door.
Nan Mu crossed his arms and looked like he was enjoying the show, while Huo Xunzhou looked indifferent as if he was not involved.
He didnât look like he had just arrived.
No one knew how long the men had been standing at the door.
âItâs so lively here.â Nan Mu pushed Huo Xunzhou into the room.
Then, Nan Mu looked at the staff who came with Lin Shanchu and the others. âWhy hasnât the shoot started yet?â
The staff member glanced at Lin Shanchu. âItâs about to start.â
âThen letâs get going.â Nan Mu raised his hand and looked at his watch. âItâs almost 11 0âclock. Why are celebrities so rude these days? To think that theyâre taking up other peopleâs shooting timeâ¦â
Qiao Jiaxi, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was now as quiet as a mouse in the corner. She didnât even dare to breathe loudly.
When Lin Shanchu heard that it was about to start, she walked up to the stage.
âIâm here to talk to you about something,â said Nan Mu.
âWhat?â Nan Mu pulled Lin Shanchu to Huo Xunzhouâs front.
Nan Mu was speechless. He lowered his voice. âXunzhou came here to see you.
At least say something to him.â
Huo Xunzhou was nearby and could hear Nan Muâs words clearly.
âHello, Mr. Huo.â Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou.
Nan Mu was confused.
Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and said after two seconds, âIâm here on business, so I dropped by to take a look.â
âOh.â She knew that Huo Xunzhou would never specifically come to see her.
Their relationship wasnât that close.
Nan Mu was even more confused.
It was clearly Huo Xunzhou who took the initiative to ask him about Lin Shanchuâs filming. When Nan Mu suggested coming over to take a look, Huo Xunzhou followed him without refusing.
However, in front of Lin Shanchu, Huo Xunzhou said that he was just passing by.
Huo Xunzhou sure was noble and amazing. Nan Mu felt that he wasted his efforts for nothing.
Lin Shanchu returned to the stage and started filming.
Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhou watched for a while and then prepared to leave.
When the two of them were about to reach the door, they saw Qiao Jiaxi sitting in a corner while crying her heart out.
Qiao Jiaxi couldnât afford to offend either of them. She hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up to greet them.
âPresident Nan. Mr. Hup.â
Nan Mu didnât know why Huo Xunzhou would suddenly notice Qiao Jiaxi, but he still tacitly asked, âWhy are you crying?â
âToday is Jing Mingâs death anniversary. Iâm his fan.â Qiao Jiaxi had been crying because of this.
Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other.
Huo Xunzhou glanced at the handkerchief in the formerâs pocket.
Nan Mu unwillingly took out the handkerchief and handed it to Qiao Jiaxi. âHeâs been gone for three years, but youâre still so sad. It seems like youâre a true fan.â
âThank you, President Nan.â Qiao Jiaxi received it, overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She then sadly said, âIf only Jing Ming didnât commit suicideâ¦â
Then, she cried again.
She was indeed Jing Mingâs true fan.
Back in the car, Huo Xunzhou took out his phone and opened Weibo.
The topic #Jing Ming was at the top of the trending list.
Nan Mu pulled on his seatbelt and looked at the phone. âJing Ming is a really nice guy. Heâs been dead for three years, but the fans still miss him so muchâ¦
Nan Mu fastened his seat belt and sighed. âItâs a pity that he signed a contract with the Lu Corporation back thenâ¦â
In the afternoon.
Lin Shanchu and the others finished filming the advertisement and went backstage to change their clothes. When they came out, they heard the staff chatting among themselves.
âThat trending topic has gone viral!â
âMany of Jing Mingâs fans are calling Lu Shiyuan a murderer.â
âWhatâs the use of scolding him on the internet? The PR team of the Lu
Corporation will still remove the trending topic.â
When she heard Lu Shiyuanâs name, Lin Shanchu quickly approached them.
âCan I take a look?â
The staff member turned around and met Lin Shanchuâs big and bright eyes. He could not refuse her at all.
Lin Shanchu successfully used her beauty to trick the staff member into handing her his phone.
Her groupmates, who hadnât touched a phone in over a month, also came over excitedly.
When the groupmates saw the trending topic, the first thing they said was âf*ckâ.
âThe last surveillance video of Jing Mingâs final moments was exposed!â
âIt was actually posted on Jing Mingâs own account! â
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
