Zhuang Shuqing immediately pressed the answer button, and before she could speak, Gu Chen’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
"Sister-in-law, where are you right now?"
"At a friend’s house, what’s happened?"
Gu Chen paused for a moment on the other end, "Can you come back to the office now? There’s been a bit of an incident here."
Zhuang Shuqing: "...Okay."
Gu Chen continued, "From now on, no matter what anyone says to you, don’t take it seriously, okay? And don’t take it to heart."
Zhuang Shuqing felt somewhat puzzled when she heard this from Gu Chen.
It wasn’t until she checked the news on her phone as Gu Chen had suggested that she was completely flabbergasted.
"Shuqing, Shuqing, what’s wrong?"
Qin Huaixin, seeing her staring silently at the news on the screen, called out her name several times in a panic.
It took a while before Zhuang Shuqing turned around, her pupils slowly gathering a chill as she faced Qin Huaixin. She handed her the phone, "Read this piece of news and you’ll know what happened."
Glancing at her, Qin Huaixin took the phone and upon reading, was equally shocked.
The news article only had one line: A famous journalist implicated in an unspoken rule by a producer?
Below were many netizens’ comments, each one piercing to the heart.
"Is it true? Speaking of which, does a journalist getting implicated by a producer mean they’re switching to acting?"
"Am I the only one who noticed the work permit behind the beautiful back?"
"To the commenter above, I’m not blind. Come on, let me read it for you: Zhuang Shuqing, reporter for Mo Entertainment Studio."
"Heavens, it’s actually Mo Entertainment Studio!!!"
"Please fire her, I want my Mo Entertainment Studio back to peace."
The comments below were becoming increasingly offensive, infuriating Qin Huaixin to the point that she was about to throw the phone away, but Zhuang Shuqing quickly caught it.
"They are attacking me, why are you getting angry?" Newest update provided by novel※fire.net
Now even more incensed, Qin Huaixin retorted, "Tell me, why do these people love stirring up trouble so much? That silhouette is clearly not yours, are they blind? They must be truly blind!"
It’s utterly preposterous, defaming her Shuqing and even using some malnourished woman as a stand-in without bothering to find someone with a similar figure.
Zhuang Shuqing let out a burst of laughter, "Only you have seen my back and are familiar with my figure."
"You’re laughing at a time ?!"
"Well, should I cry instead?"
Seeing Qin Huaixin puff up in anger, Zhuang Shuqing playfully ruffled her long hair, "Haven’t you thought about it? Her whole intention, full of holes, is to get me to step forward and clarify."
Qin Huaixin gasped; "You know who did it?"
After a moment of thought, Zhuang Shuqing told her about the incident at the film set that afternoon,
"Tan Biyang? Why is it her again!" Qin Huaixin flared up.
Because Zhuang Shuqing had a history with her, and Qin Huaixin was Zhuang Shuqing’s close friend, Qin Huaixin was well aware of many things.
"Calm down. Let’s analyze this..."
When Zhuang Shuqing arrived at the studio, the lights in the entire office building were still on, which made her quicken her pace subconsciously.
Gu Chen had specifically waited for Zhuang Shuqing in his office. When the office door was pushed open, he frowned for a rare moment.
"Sister-in-law, come sit over here~"
Zhuang Shuqing pushed the door open and entered, noticing Gu Chen was the only one in the office, and there were also food containers emitting a fragrant scent on his desk.
She was taken aback, "Have you been here the whole time?"
Gu Chen lifted his head and handed her a set of documents from the table, "Take a look at these materials first."
Zhuang Shuqing was astonished as she read through them, "These are lawsuit documents, so, you believe me?"
