Ling Momo, upon entering ES Company, immediately asked her assistant, who had been waiting for her in the lobby, "What on earth is going on?"
Ling Momo’s assistant was a veteran at ES with substantial connections. Hearing Ling Momo’s inquiry, she disclosed everything she knew, "Miss Ling, haven’t you seen today’s entertainment news? Something happened to Sister Chen..."
Just a simple sentence like that made Ling Momo’s heart sink suddenly as she asked without delay, "Something happened to Sister Wanru? What happened?"
"Sister Chen’s photos with Wang Chao from the year-end music jury were taken last night at Imperial Palace and leaked out," the assistant replied immediately upon hearing Ling Momo’s question.
Chen Wanru and Wang Chao spent last night at the Imperial Palace? And someone snapped photos and leaked them to the media?
Ling Momo’s face turned somewhat pale, "Is it serious?"
"It seems to be very serious. As for how to deal with this situation, I don’t know, but the executives at ES are currently in a meeting." Fresh chapters posted on N()velFire.net
"What about Sister Wanru?" Ling Momo paused and then asked, "Has she come to the company?"
"No, we haven’t been able to get in touch with her until now, and nobody is answering her phone. It’s said that she took a flight to America overnight." The assistant continued, adding, "Sister Chen’s husband is an American Chinese, and he resides in America all year round. She probably went home. The media will definitely make a big deal out of this incident, and it’s good that Sister Chen has left the country. If she had stayed, she would have been besieged by reporters and couldn’t set foot outside."
Ling Momo nodded and said no more, pushing open her own office door and walking in. She didn’t even set down her bag, just went straight to her computer and opened a website. There it was, with a huge headline — "Decade-Long Top Songstress Chen Wanru Caught in Steamy Late Night Affair with Jury Member Wang Chao."
After Ling Momo clicked on it, she saw a series of photos. The side profiles of Chen Wanru and Wang Chao were taken so clearly that it was impossible not to believe. There were also photos of the two entering a room together.
The accompanying text was extremely sharp, directly questioning if Chen Wanru’s achievements over the past ten years were attained by sleeping her way up.
Even the comments below were outrageous. Chen Wanru’s fans were expressing tremendous disappointment; some even lashed out, calling her promiscuous, shaming a married woman for her blatant indiscretion!
The more Ling Momo read, the more her heart raced with fear. Putting aside whether the allegations were true or false, for Ling Momo, Chen Wanru was a friend who had genuinely helped her. And she was well aware that the entertainment circle wasn’t clean, so she wasn’t interested in the veracity of the affair between Chen Wanru and Wang Chao. Her only concern was for Chen Wanru’s current situation.
Ling Momo picked up her phone and tried to call Chen Wanru, but it was turned off. Ling Momo then sent her several text messages and sat in her office, feeling restless and anxious.
The chaos wasn’t limited to Ling Momo alone; the executives at ES were also in turmoil. Chen Wanru was a symbol of ES Company, and this scandal was, of course, an extremely serious emergency.
The private lives of those in the entertainment circle have always been chaotic, and this was an open secret. However, everyone had always been very protective of Chen Wanru. And now, with such a big incident occurring at Imperial Palace during ES’s celebration banquet, when the venue had been closed off, ES naturally wouldn’t let the matter rest.
