âShe met your manager and assistant, but they didnât accept her offer. Itâs not easy to reject an offer under such circumstances, so both of them can be trusted,â said Ling Yue.
Lin Yan was touched. âDuoduo and Sister Ling treat me really well.â
She wasnât surprised that Lin Shuya had tried to poach them, as this was one of her usual methods.
She could guess that she must have offered the two of them attractive terms. Thus, she wouldnât have blamed Duoduo and Sister Ling even if they had decided to accept the offer.
She hadnât expected them to reject it.
Duoduoâs voice disrupted her thoughts. âSister Yan, are you done? Can I come in?â
Ling Yue bid Lin Yan goodbye. âSister Yan, I shall take my leave.â
âOkay.â Lin Yan turned to the door. âCome in.â
Duoduo pushed the door and brushed past Ling Yue. She surveyed her with a quizzical glance before asking, âSister Yan, who is she?â
Lin Yan coughed softly. âShe is my friend.â
She couldnât possibly confess that Ling Yue was the ex-boss of Summit Entertainment...
Duoduo didnât dwell too much on this, as she was still too caught up in the events of that day. She studied Lin Yan apprehensively, âSister Yan... Are you really the founder of Angelâs Shelter and the President of Darlingâs Home? You... Why didnât you give me time to absorb the truth? You frightened the wits out of me!â
Lin Yan peered at the girl, who seemed shocked. âI did give you time. Didnât I tell you in advance?â
Duoduo was speechless. How could that count?
Who would have believed her?
Duoduo muttered indignantly, âEven your fans are complaining that their idol is fake...â
She could understand how the fans felt, as she shared the feeling.
Lin Yan grinned while mirth danced in her eyes. âSeems like my fans need to train and strengthen their hearts.â
Duoduo looked bewildered. âStrengthen? Do you still have more startling truths you are hiding from us?â
Lin Yan coughed softly as she thought to herself.
The truth couldnât be revealed...
Someone knocked cautiously on the door. The person in charge of the event had brought a staff member along with him. That staff member was the girl who had denied Lin Yan access at the reception.
âPresident Lin...â The person in charge stood before Lin Yan, looking apologetic. âPresident Lin, Iâm terribly sorry. Itâs our fault that we didnât investigate the matter thoroughly before acting on it. We regret disqualifying you as a candidate for the charity angel vote. Sorry for causing you trouble.â
The person in charge hurriedly added, âOf course, I understand that you would never care about such trivial stuff. However, this is indeed the managementâs folly.â
He seemed sincere and earnest. Therefore, Lin Yan didnât intend to make things difficult for him. âItâs fine. After all, no one knows about it.â
The person in charge heaved a sigh of relief, as he had been expecting Lin Yan to throw a tantrum. There were widespread rumors that she was exceedingly difficult to deal with. Who knew that she would be so understanding?
Rumors should never be trusted!
âThank you so much, President Lin. Youâre very understanding and kind,â the person in charge said gratefully before he cast a chiding look at the girl. âWhy arenât you apologizing to President Lin?â
