Chapter 2598: What fine abilities they have in cooking up stories!

All of a sudden, everyone understood how the actress managed to get her hands on excellent resources. It turned out that she had been using such dirty tricks.
...
“That’s what happened; I heard it myself.” The assistant informed her charge.
Surprise and fury surfaced on Yun Shishi’s face as she furrowed her brows and scoffed. “I went to seduce Gao Nan?! What a well-written script! It’s a pity that those people aren’t working as scriptwriters!”
She reckoned that that must be the greatest joke she had ever heard thus far. “Plus, even if I were blind, I’d never go seduce a scumbag like him. Whatever resources he can offer me, Qin Zhou is more than capable of getting them for me. I won’t demean myself to that extent!”
“That’s what Ji Yan said, though. She even made it sound so convincing. I got so upset by what I heard that I went up to rebut that bunch of gossipmonger, but I ended up getting bombarded by them, instead! There’s no stopping their mouths, so I eventually got tired of arguing with them. Shishi, just because you usually treat the production crew well doesn’t mean that they’re all on your side. It’s inevitable that others will get jealous of you because you debuted with ace resources right from the get-go. Even though they treat you with respect on the surface, there’s no telling if they’re speculating the number of sugar daddies behind you.”
Mu Xi then added, “I know that you won’t do such a thing, though. Trust those birdbrains to buy that actress’s exaggerated lies! Why would you seduce her boyfriend when you got Chairman Mu and Xingze? Any of the two is so much more of a heavyweight than that guy. Then again, those people are just fence-sitters who believe whatever they hear.”
“What right do they have to say that of me?” The actress was beyond furious. “This is clearly an outright defamation of character!”
“Well, that’s showbiz for you. It’s common for people to kick you when you’re down,” replied the assistant, then she went to explain. “Besides, ever since your debut, you’ve acted in several well-received IP shows. The scripts, commercials, and even fashion resources you’ve got are way better than all the other female starlets, and that includes Lin Zhi. Those people made their conjectures about you because they’re jealous of you.”
“I’m not particularly close to them in the first place, but I do show friendliness toward them. Even though I don’t expect them to sing praises about my character, I, at least, expect that I won’t make enemies out of them.”
“That’s too naïve of you!”
“How about Hua Jin?” asked her charge all of a sudden. “He’s there with me that night and he saw what happened between Gao Nan and me; the others may not believe me, but surely they’ll believe his words.”
“Didn’t his face get injured?” She told the actress. “Filming will only end up getting delayed if he does his scenes in an injured state, so the director told him to take the day off and recuperate at home, instead.”
“Oh...”
So he’s on medical leave!
No wonder rumors about me are all over the place...
If he’s here, he surely won’t allow them to talk trash about me.
Yun Shishi could not help feeling infuriated at the thought of this.
As her assistant took the foundation pact from her hand, the lady said with a sigh, “Let’s get you ready for filming first. Although I’m also incensed by what I’ve heard, we still have to do our job right.”
The assistant had learned a thing or two about cosmetics in the past, so her techniques were pretty good.
The actress drew in a sharp intake of breath in a bid to keep a lid on her anger, then she curled her lips upward slowly. “Honestly, I’m quite surprised to know that Gao Nan said such things about me. Yes, he’s a scoundrel, but he tends to speak frankly and doesn’t seem the type to do ridiculous things, such as accuse me of things I didn’t do.”
“You’ve known him even before that night?”
Mu Xi could not help but be surprised by this fact, for she thought that her charge had met the man for the first time at the party.
