Chapter 842: Chapter 842: The Big Bosses You Provoked, Each More Ruthless Than the Other (1)

Si Fuqing had become the hottest celebrity in the entertainment industry. With the dual success of “Crossing the Demon Realm” and “The Birth of an Employee,” even Su Yang, who had long been famous, found his popularity slightly eclipsed by hers.

Bai Jinxi was well aware of the cutthroat nature of the entertainment industry. The higher one stood, the more eyes watched, ready to amplify any small mistake.

Rival celebrity teams, netizens, and media reporters were all watching, leaving no room for privacy.

However, Si Fuqing had managed to keep a clean slate for the past year, earning the media’s jest that she had a ‘transparent’ body, disappearing after work.

But now, Bai Jinxi had photos.

Every media outlet would be eager to get them.

“You ask what kind of scoop it is? She’s being a mistress!” Bai Jinxi’s expression turned manic, though her tone remained restrained. “Isn’t that scandalous enough? I have photos, one hundred percent genuine.”

“I don’t want money; I just want to rid the public of this scourge. A celebrity with such questionable morals shouldn’t remain in the entertainment industry. Didn’t she establish herself as the moral compass of the industry? The bigger her persona, the greater the fall. Your benefits will skyrocket.”

Ending the call, she clutched her phone, taking several deep breaths, though her expression remained grim.

No wonder Si Fuqing dared to be so brazen in the industry, challenging everyone. She had a big sponsor.

Even when she was with LI Yanchen, he never shielded her like this.

Wasn’t it just a pretty face?

Bai Jinxi dug her nails into her palm, filled with resentment.

Having achieved her goal, she instructed the driver to leave quickly.

Inside the banquet hall.

Guests had already taken their seats.

“Hmm, why aren’t there any Yu family members here today?”

“It seems the Ji family didn’t come either. Were they not invited?”

“You don’t know? Mr. LI Yuzhi has issues with them.”

In the VIP suite.

“Boss, I earned some money again.” Si Fuqing, hands behind her back, said, “Uncle Xiao gave me a bank card to thank me for treating Aunt Mu.”

“Hmm?” Yu Xiheng set down his teacup, “You report even your pocket money?”

“I’m reporting it because I want to donate it to the border guards.” Si Fuqing placed the card in his hand, “You must have connections, please help me out.”

She clasped her hands together, her eyes misty in a way that only appeared when she needed something.

Her fox-like eyes sparkled, making it impossible to refuse.

Yu Xiheng paused, meeting her gaze, and smiled, “Why this sudden thought?”

The image of the 48,000 JIANG family soldiers dying in battle resurfaced in her mind. She was silent for a moment, “There’s not much I can do, this is the least I can manage.”

She couldn’t change history, but she could do her best to maintain the present.

“Alright.” Yu Xiheng finally accepted, “But don’t neglect yourself.”

“One must help the world when capable and keep to oneself when not. I understand this principle well.” Si Fuqing sat down lazily, “I won’t starve myself.”

Little Bai’s eyes were brimming with tears.

But. it might starve to death.

The suite was filled with guests personally invited by LI Yuzhi and Su Yang. They all knew each other, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

“Hello, Uncle LI.” Jiang Changning greeted politely, “Mr. Su has helped me before. This is a token of my appreciation, please accept it.”

She handed over a sandalwood box.

“That’s very kind of you.” LI Yuzhi politely declined, “You’re Su Yang’s friend, there’s no reason for an elder to accept a gift from a junior.”

“It’s nothing, Uncle LI.” Jiang Changning shook her head slightly, “It’s just some local produce from my family’s field, nothing valuable.”

LI Yuzhi: “…”

He accepted the box and opened it.

Upon seeing its contents, his expression changed instantly.

LI Yuzhi didn’t understand herbs, but just by smelling it, he felt revitalized.

Only top-quality herbs could have such an effect.

Local produce from the field?!

What kind of precious land was that?

Even someone as composed as LI Yuzhi couldn’t stay calm. He pulled Su Yang, who was seating Jiang Changning, aside and lowered his voice, “What kind of people do you know? No, what kind of people does Miss Si know?”

Su Yang was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

“This…” LI Yuzhi glanced at the box Jiang Changning had given him and sighed deeply, looking somewhat troubled, “Selling you might not be enough to buy this.”

Su Yang: “…?”

He was utterly confused and turned to Jiang Changning, “Miss Jiang, what valuable gift did you give my father?”
