âAfter all, youâre not like me. Youâre not a public figure. Even if I expose you, they wonât be able to find you, right?â Lu Xiuse said.
Lu Xiuse made Luo Qingxian extremely angry.
Wasnât her every word just implying that it was because nothing would happen to Luo Qingxian?
âSo, Iâm not requesting anything else from you,â Lu Xiuse said. âYour family is so powerful. Iâm sure you can give me some work opportunities from your familyâs company, right? I wonât request for you to invest in me to film something. Instead, things like doing some advertisements or being an ambassador for a brand, come find me for those. At least let me have some work and income.â
Luo Qingxian rolled her eyes.
Currently, Lu Xiuseâs reputation had become so bad. Who would want her to be the ambassador for their brand?
Wouldnât this just be digging a hole for the Luo Family?
Using her as their ambassador would be like asking to be cursed to death.
Nevertheless, Luo Qingxian understood what Lu Xiuse meant.
If she didnât find a way to let Lu Xiuse have some income, the latter would expose her.
At worst, they would both go down together.
However, Luo Qingxian actually didnât mind it.
Just like what Lu Xiuse had said, Luo Qingxian was not a public figure, after all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even if the netizens criticized her, where would they even be able to reach her?
If they found her physical location?
It wasnât as if she couldnât afford to hire bodyguards. Moreover, she could report it to the police.
Compared to Lu Xiuse, Luo Qingxian wouldnât be negatively impacted as greatly.
However, Luo Qingxian considered herself to be someone of a high status, which meant that she could not let herself get humiliated.
If she were to allow those who knew her to see it, she would be greatly humiliated.
Yet helping Lu Xiuse was an impossible thing for her to do.
No matter what, Luo Qingxian could not dig a hole for her family.
She was well aware that Lu Xiuse would definitely be a total loss for them, without the slightest benefit. So why would they still want to employ her?
Luo Qingxian said, âSure, I will discuss this matter with my familyâs elders and let them see if thereâs anything suitable for you to advertise. There may not be any ambassadorship opportunities because many of our products already have ambassadors. Moreover, theyâre still within the contract period, so itâs impossible to change them out just like that.
âHowever, I will take a look if there are any missed products. If there are any that donât have fixed ambassadors, I will have them give the ambassadorships to you. But if there arenât any, you can only film ordinary commercials. There are also promotional events. If youâre willing, you can go do those too. My family will find some celebrities to participate in the annual year-end meeting. If you find that acceptable, you can go to that as well.
âOf course, the year-end meeting is at the end of the year, so itâs too early to talk about it now. No one can accurately predict what it will be like at the end of the year.â Luo Qingxian smiled briefly.
âPerhaps by that time, youâll have regained a good reputation. Maybe itâll be even better than in the past. When the time comes, even if we invite you, you may not have the time or willingness to participate,â Luo Qingxian said.
Upon hearing Luo Qingxianâs favorable words, Lu Xiuse finally let out a sigh of relief.
âSure. Then Iâll leave this matter to you,â Lu Xiuse said. âI have to thank you greatly for helping me get through this difficult time.â
âItâs just like you said. You caused so much trouble because you were helping me. Since I promised you that I would support you when trouble arose, I certainly have to keep my word,â Luo Qingxian said.
Lu Xiuse had heard Luo Qingxian say such nice things. There was no way she could expect that Luo Qingxian had absolutely no intention of helping her. Luo Qingxian was just toying with her to stall for time.
Lu Xiuse let out a sigh of relief and ended the call.
Luo Qingxian tossed her phone aside and sneered disdainfully, âIdiot.â
Did Lu Xiuse really think Luo Qingxian would help her?
However, Luo Qingxian did not expect thatâ¦
She had just called Lu Xiuse an idiot, and now her own situation wasnât any good either.
Before long, Luo Qingxian received a call from Shen Mujing.
She did not know why the latter was calling her, so she was still very relaxed when she answered the call.
âYo, Mujing. Itâs been a long time since you last contacted me. Why are you looking for me today?â Luo Qingxian asked nonchalantly.
However, Shen Mujingâs tone did not sound as relaxed as that of Luo Qingxian.
Shen Mujing hesitated for a moment before asking, âQingxian, you still donât know?â
âDonât know what?â Luo Qingxian was astonished.
âThe matter on the Internet. Have you not gone to check?â Shen Mujing asked.
Luo Qingxian thought Shen Mujing was talking about last nightâs matter and felt very irritated.
However, she still pretended as if she didnât mind it and smiled. âEh, youâre talking about last nightâs matter about Lu Xiuse, right? Thatâs a misunderstanding. The whole matter was caused by Lu Xiuse. She just dragged my name into it.
âIâm total strangers with Yan Zhiqing. Why would I want to cause trouble for her? Itâs just that Lu Xiuse was always at odds with Yan Zhiqing. And because Iâm on pretty good terms with Lu Xiuse, she dragged me into it.
âTo think that I treated her as a friend. I didnât expect that she would dig a hole for me.â Luo Qingxian spoke angrily. âIâm being blamed alongside her for nothing. But in fact, I wasnât involved in this matter at all. It was all Lu Xiuseâs doing.â
Luo Qingixan sighed and said, âLu Xiuse, that personâI donât dare to have any more relations with her from now on. Look at how big a hole sheâs dug for me.
âMoreover, Yan Zhiqing is a famous person with so many fans. If this trouble attracts the attacks of her fans, who are so crazy that they might even come straight to me in person, how will I go on living my life?!â
Luo Qingxian clicked her tongue twice. âJust earlier, this Lu Xiuse even made me arrange some work opportunities for her. Because she offended Yan Zhiqing, the Yan Family totally shut her out from the industry, leaving her with no work at all.
âHowever, donât you think this Yan Zhiqing is too much as well? Sheâs too resentful.â Luo Qingxian used this opportunity to speak badly of Yan Zhiqing. âItâs true that Lu Xiuse is in the wrong for this matter and that she truly went overboard in slandering Yan Zhiqing.
âBut itâs not right for Yan Zhiqing to be so cruel. Yan Zhiqingâs career wasnât destroyed because of the slander, and she didnât suffer any substantial damage. Of course, this doesnât mean what Lu Xiuse did was nothing. Just because itâs not at all worth pursuing doesnât mean what Lu Xiuse did wasnât wrong.
âBut I feel that itâd have been enough if she taught Lu Xiuse a lesson. But totally shutting her out from the industry and leaving her with no work means she wonât be able to continue with her career in the entertainment industry. This is a bit excessive. Lu Xiuse graduated with a major in acting, and she entered the workforce with acting as her profession. She never developed any other skills.
âWhat can she do now that theyâve forced her out of the entertainment industry? Isnât this making it so that she canât continue living?â
The phone call made Shen Mujing roll her eyes.
Luo Qingxianâs words were like those of a typical female representative of the goddess of virtue.
Whatâs that about not being too cruel?
In Shen Mujingâs opinion, Yan Zhiqing had been plenty courteous to Lu Xiuse.
Even though Lu Xiuse had already caused her trouble quite a few times before, Yan Zhiqing hadnât done much about it.
Yan Zhiqingâs kindness had instead encouraged Lu Xiuse to become even more arrogant. The latter caused her trouble time and time again.
It was Lu Xiuse who did not know when to stop before she went too far. Then she finally caused Yan Zhiqing so much trouble that she no longer intended to tolerate Lu Xiuseâs behavior.
Yet Luo Qingxian said some nonsense about how Yan Zhiqing should not have gone to the extent of totally shutting Lu Xiuse out of the industry.
