The incident started when a deputy editor of Goddess Magazine posted late at night, directly attacking a female celebrity in the entertainment circle.
"The more I think about it, what’s the use of a high education? A person’s character is fundamentally unlinked to their education. Some female celebrities, despite being in the entertainment circle, don’t follow its rules. It’s really speechless."
The deputy editor’s rant did not name anyone specific, but from Goddess Magazine and the mentions of highly educated female celebrities, everyone could pretty much guess who he was talking about.
After all, the one currently being featured in the magazine and who could be called highly educated was Shu Wan.
[I’m here, I’m here, is there any juicy gossip I can jump into? What’s up with Shu Wan now? I’ve always disliked her. So what if she’s a top scorer in college entrance exams, high education isn’t needed in the entertainment circle.]
[To the one before, being a top scorer is indeed impressive. If you think that’s nothing special, why not try achieving it yourself? Can today’s revealers directly name names, instead of being so sarcastic?]
[With Shu Wan’s current status, shooting for Goddess Magazine is her climbing the ladder, isn’t it? Is she still daring to act like a big shot? So arrogant?]
As netizens debated heatedly, someone claiming to be a staff member came forward with insider info, confirming the deputy editor was talking about Shu Wan.
"The magazine had scheduled a shooting plan for Shu Wan for about a week, but Shu Wan only showed up for two half-days and then she never returned. Liu Ying’s assistant tried to mediate, but ended up getting a scolding from Shu Wan’s assistant."
While the staff member leaked the information, they also released an audio of Wang Tian arguing with Liu Ying’s assistant.
The staff member only played Wang Tian’s side of the audio, silencing Liu Ying’s assistant.
"You’re cracking me up, were you not struck by lightning in your past life because you were born to be struck in this one? Looking around, you’re the only donkey human hybrid, should probably capture you for some research ..."
The tone was exhilarating, and the choice of words was rich, completely astonishing netizens.
[No manners, I can’t stand it anymore. Isn’t Shu Wan supposed to be highly cultured being a top scorer? Why is her assistant so uncultured?]
[What’s going on here... If I remember correctly, Liu Ying is the main cover of the edition right? And she’s Shu Wan’s senior. How can they have no manners at all?]
[Without knowing the full story, why do you love defining others so much? What if it’s all a misunderstanding involving Shu Wan?]
Seeing how eagerly the netizens cursed, Wang Tian also got angry and immediately wanted to post the shooting evidence online.
But Shu Wan stopped him, "Why post it online?"
"To show the netizens the truth and to clear your name." Of course, it was to clear his name too, he indeed spoke harshly, but that was because Liu Ying’s condescending assistant was even more infuriating!
"And then what, after you post it, do you think the magazine will choose Liu Ying or me?"
Shu Wan leaned on the sofa’s edge, picked up a cup of tea, gently blew on it, and the mist of the tea curled around her ethereal eyes and brows, so beautiful that even an angry Wang Tian was momentarily stunned.
Once he snapped back to reality, Wang Tian seriously pondered Shu Wan’s question, "Right, they would still choose Liu Ying."
In the worldly world, truth or not, doesn’t really matter to corporate leaders.
What they value more is who can bring them greater value.
And between Liu Ying and Shu Wan, who currently holds more value was evident.
Wang Tian deflated immediately, but then his eyes brightened as he looked at Shu Wan, "You must have a way, right?"
Before Shu Wan could reply, Wang Tian’s phone suddenly rang.
Wang Tian pressed the answer button, and after a moment, he covered the receiver and looked at Shu Wan with a somewhat panicked expression, "This is bad, I think I’ve caused a blunder."
Shu Wan reached out to take the phone, "Let me handle it."
"Shu Wan." Liu Ying’s voice came through, laden with obvious triumph, "Do you know what contract your assistant signed initially?"
Shu Wan asked calmly, "What contract?"
"If because of you the magazine fails to be published on schedule, you are to bear unlimited responsibility, and the amount of compensation might require ten years of your effort."
"What do you want?" Shu Wan’s expression was calm.
"8 PM tonight, Zhongxuan Building, this is your last chance."
After speaking, Liu Ying hung up the phone.
Wang Tian looked at Shu Wan, bewildered, "I made a mess, I had already thoroughly reviewed the contract again."
As a fairly seasoned agent, Wang Tian certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to sign a contract without reading it.
