The assistant had long been by Ming Wenxian’s side and was well aware of her demeanor.
Her arrogance, driven by a powerful backer, left her indifferent to other celebrities.
However, even the assistant was unclear about who exactly stood behind Ming Wenxian, enabling her audacity.
This wasn’t a topic the assistant would broach; being in Ming Wenxian’s favor and receiving a salary was enough.
“Yet, Sister Ming, Xie Yu’s fans are numerous and fervently young,” the assistant hesitated. “Many are eagerly awaiting his debut in the center spot. Stirring trouble with him now could incite their madness.”
“What’s there to worry about? It’s not like we’re going to ruin him,” Ming Wenxian scoffed dismissively. “Besides, his debut means he needs resources to climb higher, right? I’ll provide those. He wouldn’t dare refuse.” “And who would know it’s my doing? Let’s see if Xie Yu dares to speak out.” Unless he truly wished to court death.
Hearing this, the assistant didn’t dare persuade further. “Then, Sister Ming, rest well. I’ll go scout the program team tomorrow.”
Ming Wenxian waved her hand dismissively and headed to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, in a city thousands of kilometers from Lin City, an old man was reading in his study.
“Master,” a guard appeared silently before him, kneeling on one knee. “The young miss has sent another name for your review.”
“Hmm?” The old man set aside the fitness ball he was toying with in his left hand. “Bring it here.”
The guard handed over a paper bearing the name Xie Yu.
“Xie Yu, surname Xie…” old Master Ming frowned. “From the Xie family of Sijiu
The city was home to many prominent and wealthy families, with the Yu ramuy at tne top, an unquestionamy ente nousenola.
The Xie family was related by marriage to the Ji family, akin in status to the Shen family, and also an elite household.
“No,” the guard hurriedly corrected. “The young miss mentioned he’s from the entertainment industry, an undebuted trainee, likely unrelated to the Xie family.”
“I see,” old Master Ming nodded. “Still, let’s check with the Xie family. It’s not impossible for their distant branches to dabble in entertainment.”
Understanding, the guard immediately contacted the Xie household. By this hour, the Xie family was at rest, with their butler answering the call.
“Xie Yu?” The butler was half puzzled, half wary. “Sorry, no such person in the Xie family, not even in the distant branches.”
The guard relayed this to Master Ming.
“Not a Xie, then. That’s good,” Master Ming stroked his beard. “Whatever Wenxian needs, we’ll send to her together later.”
“However, due to frequent outbreaks of evolved being incidents, the
Supernatural Management Bureau has been strict lately. Evolved beings above
Class D cannot be mobilized freely. Send ten of Class E.”
Even Class E beings could easily deal with ordinary people.
The Ming family had such strength.
The guard acknowledged, “I’ll dispatch them immediately.”
“Sigh, Wenxian is just an ordinary person. Having waited so long without any genetic mutation, she’s certainly not an evolved being,” old Master Ming sighed deeply. “It’s my fault. I can only compensate her in this way. Whatever she needs in the entertainment industry, we’ll provide.”
To old Master Ming, the entertainment industry was but a gathering of actors.
Glamorous on the surface, its hidden filth was boundless.
As long as no major figures were offended, Master Ming would support whatever Wenxian did.
The guard hesitated, “But, Master, the young miss’s reputation in the industry is not good. They say she…”
Old Master Ming’s gaze turned icy: “What are they saying?”
The guard steeled himself to continue, “They say her morals are loose, that she’s intimate with anyone she meets, supported by a wealthy patron…”
“Bang!”
Old Master Mings palm slammed onto the desk, instantly shattering it.
The guard knelt with a thud, trembling.
The words online were harsher, and he hadn’t dared report them.
“Let them talk. Will their words cost Wenxian a single hair?” Old Master Ming’s expression was dark. “Wenxian remains a figure they look up to! I want to see how these actor netizens dare to touch her!”
Ming Wenxian had once crippled a minor internet celebrity.
Old Master Ming casually settled it with money, giving it no further thought.
The distance between ordinary people and evolved beings was vast, not of the same world.
The Ming family’s main line had always been evolved beings. Unfortunately, Wenxian’s generation lacked this inheritance..
