Sheng Tang sat in Gu Jiahui’s living room, surrounded by several people.
Her assistant Ai’ai and manager Ke Fei had both gone to the scene today.
Ai’ai was still trembling with fear over what happened at the scene.
Ke Fei also couldn’t find the words to speak for a moment.
Sheng Tang’s phone kept ringing; it was her parents and brother calling.
They had brought Sheng Tang back home, intending to stay with her and comfort her, when Gu Jiahui returned.
He carefully examined her hands and face, "The acid didn’t touch you, did it?"
"There wasn’t much, just a little bit." Sheng Tang demonstrated with her fingers, "It was a very small bottle, about the length of a finger joint, couldn’t hold much."
That bit of acid mostly spilled on the ground, with a little splashing onto the host’s hand.
"It’s good that you’re okay." Gu Jiahui, whose face was pale, hadn’t recovered yet.
After coming back to his senses, he smacked Sheng Tang on the head.
"You’re something else! So many men in the room, were they all dead? Only you could handle it!" Gu Jiahui sneered coldly.
Sheng Tang laughed.
"Why can’t you just say you were really worried about me?" Sheng Tang wasn’t angry, she looked at him with a smile.
Gu Jiahui: "..."
Ke Fei and Ai’ai also started laughing.
Gu Jiahui coughed lightly and then said to the two of them, "Keep an eye on things online, see what people are saying."
Ke Fei was about to speak when his phone rang.
He answered it.
After his phone call ended, Sheng Tang’s phone rang again.
Sheng Tang glanced at the number on the screen and, after two seconds of silence, hung up.
She recognized it; it was Gu Shiting’s number.
She didn’t answer.
Between her and Gu Shiting, there was no hatred, but there was also no possibility. Entangling with him further wasn’t good for either of them.
Ke Fei hung up his call, unable to conceal a smile.
"What’s up?" Sheng Tang asked him.
Gu Jiahui’s gaze swept over her phone without a word.
Ke Fei’s face beamed, "It was Ding Ruifan’s manager calling, an unexpected surprise. The attention on this matter is all focused on Tangtang."
"Me?" Sheng Tang was surprised, "Not Ping Mo?"
Gu Jiahui lightly adjusted his glasses, "Something similar happened before in January, with a fan attacking an artist. You might not have been aware since you were celebrating New Year at home."
Sheng Tang indeed hadn’t been aware, as she was home for the New Year’s holidays.
"It was a promotional event during the New Year period. A female star was hit with an egg by a male fan, causing quite a stir, but nothing came of it. The official explanation was quite perfunctory.
As a result, everyone thought the explanation for Ping Mo’s incident would also be perfunctory. People couldn’t hear the truth anyway, so they lost interest.
Whether it was a personal affair with a fan or just a crazy fan, it was hard to say," Gu Jiahui explained. "On top of that, there’s often news about Ping Mo and her marriage with her husband, which they frequently use to stir up publicity."
Ping Mo had been married, but there had been countless divorce rumors, indicating that the general public’s affection for her wasn’t very high.
Sheng Tang, however, was different.
A new actress, very beautiful with good fighting skills. She could be breathtakingly beautiful and gorgeously tough in a fight. It’s obvious who grabs more attention.
Sheng Tang understood.
She then asked Ke Fei, "Why did Sister Ying call you?"
"The video of you saving the Ding family’s child was clearly captured by three cameras at the community entrance. Brother Ding’s side is proposing to release a clipped version of it, taking advantage of the current attention to boost your image and add some publicity for the movie," Ke Fei explained.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Gu Jiahui: "What about the person behind this incident? Would they hold a grudge against Sheng Tang?"
"Ding Ruifan and his wife have already dealt with it, they found the person behind it. They fear them more than they do Sheng Tang. The crisis is no longer there," Ke Fei replied. "They asked if we’re okay with this kind of publicity. Tangtang, do you agree?"
