Duoduo nodded as she elaborated. âHavenât you heard? Ordinary scandals wouldnât matter, but this time, the charity officials have been alerted. Things are completely different.
A company like Summit Entertainment places great emphasis on reputation and image. In order to stay away from this situation, they would certainly take precautions...â
Lin Yan stroked her chin and mused, âYouâre right... But there is no way the company would terminate my contract.â
Duoduo was startled by her confidence. âHow can you be so certain that the company wouldnât do that?â
Duoduo couldnât understand why she was so confident.
Lin Yan appraised Duoduo and replied pompously, âBecause I have an extremely powerful backer. No one would dare to terminate my contract.â
Duoduo was speechless...
She fell silent for at least ten seconds and narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Lin Yan before she sighed in exasperation. âSister Yan, youâre blabbering again. Youâre such a straightforward, manly woman. There is no way you would be able to land such a backer in this lifetime!
Besides, Summit Entertainment is famous for having strict rules. A manager once broke a rule and had a relative working for the top management. In the end, an order came and he was fired.
So tell me. Who is this backer of yours?â
Others may have speculated about Lin Yan, but Duoduo was always around her. Thus, she was aware that there was no such backer.
Lin Yan felt humiliated as she retorted, âWhy canât I have a backer? My backerâs influence and power arenât even in the same league as that managerâs power!â
âI would be an idiot if I believed your words...â
However, Lin Yanâs confidence and tone had swayed Duoduo slightly. Something hit her and she clasped her mouth in horror before she shrieked.
âDonât tell me... You and the award-winning actor? Mr. Pei?â
Lin Yan was speechless!
âAhem!â Duoduoâs shrieks had scared Lin Yan. âNonsense!â
âDidnât you claim that you have a powerful backer?â Duoduo mumbled. âThe only person I can think of is Mr. Pei...â
Lin Yan pouted and shot her a disdainful look. âYoung lass, can you try having a more vivid imagination? Be more daring with your guesses.â
The corners of Duoduoâs mouth twitched. âIsnât that daring enough?â
Lin Yan was speechless...
It wasnât enough...
Far from it.
...
Soon, the day of the charity event came.
The charity event would be held at an exhibition hall in the capital city. Guests from the political, business, and entertainment industry had been invited.
There was also an additional number of media outlets covering the event on online platforms live.
The online donations would be contributed to charity.
Artists usually wouldnât wear the same outfit twice.
However, Lin Yanâs sponsors had all left her, and she hadnât managed to borrow anything. In the end, she had to wear the same dress she had worn to an event earlier last month.
âYou have worn this before... If you wear it again, youâre bound to be mocked...â Duoduo sighed sadly.
Lin Yan replied sharply, âThis is a charity event, not a beauty pageant. Why should I spend so much time dressing up? Shouldnât I donate the money to those who need it?â
Her remarks left Duoduo slightly surprised. Lin Yan sounded so wise...
âI bet you canât bear to spend money on new clothes...â Duoduo muttered.
Lin Yan chuckled in amusement. âWow. Youâre right!â
Duoduo was speechless...
