Chapter 61 - 62: The Mysterious Boyfriend of Pop Queen Shen Manbing
However, Xia Yangyang didn’t think too much about it, because the extra two thousand was enough to make her worried.
Xia Yangyang doesn’t lack living expenses, but that amount is directly deposited into her bank account every month by Liu Ruyan.
Not more, not less, just enough to cover her monthly expenses.
So how was she supposed to deal with this extra two thousand?
Ask Liu Ruyan? Xia Yangyang absolutely couldn’t do it.
Xia Yangyang thought of Gu Qichen, but immediately smacked her forehead. She wouldn’t dare ask Gu Qichen for money either.
When Xia Yangyang arrived home, she began looking for jobs in the evening.
She ended up finding work at an entertainment newspaper.
This newspaper, called Cherry Entertainment, was essentially a paparazzi squad, specializing in tracking the private lives of top celebrities.
Xia Yangyang was a journalism student. In this industry, the paparazzi were at the bottom of the social ladder.
But, well, Xia Yangyang was in need of money and this job offered a high commission.
Considering Xia Yangyang’s academic background, the editor-in-chief Yuan Shijie immediately approved and assigned her to work as an assistant to Lao Bai.
Lao Bai was the most seasoned paparazzi at Cherry News Agency, well known in the circle. He was the one who had exposed the secret marriage and childbirth of superstar Jiang Xinyan back in the day. Many celebrities held a grudge against him.
Lao Bai had a mission that day, so he brought along Xia Yangyang to stake out Feng City International Airport.
After squatting in the car for two hours, Xia Yangyang couldn’t resist asking, “So who exactly are we photographing today?”
Lao Bai took a puff on his cigarette and said, “Shen Manbing.”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback: “Isn’t she shooting a film in Hollywood directed by Cameron?”
Shen Manbing, the undisputed top superstar in the entertainment industry. She debuted at sixteen, rose to stardom within ten years, won numerous awards, was recognized as the most beautiful Asian face internationally, and recently made her Hollywood debut. Her worth was continuously rising, and recently she attracted global attention for becoming the first Asian female lead in a Cameron film.
In addition, Shen Manbing was the young miss of the Shen family, one of the four major families in Feng City, an esteemed identity.
The Shen family also dominated show business. Their “Time Entertainment” accounted for half of the entertainment industry, and managed to outclass her father’s Starlight Entertainment.
Lao Bai nonchalantly said, “I got news that Shen Manbing has wrapped up her movie, and will return home today. Moreover, if there aren’t any unexpected events, we might even get a surprising scoop today.”
Xia Yangyang, being curious, asked, “What kind of surprise? Could it be her extremely secret boyfriend?”
Lao Bai, raising his eyebrows, looked at Xia Yangyang, “You have potential.”
Xia Yangyang grew intrigued. This rumor had been circulating in the industry for a long time. It was said that Shen Manbing had a mysterious boyfriend, even rumored to be married. The gossip had been around for years, but the mysterious man had never been captured by the media, it had turned into one of the biggest mysteries in the entertainment industry.
After another two hours of waiting, Xia Yangyang, half asleep, was awakened by Lao Bai. “The person’s out. Quick, take pictures.”
Xia Yangyang sprang to life, reflexively grabbing the SLR camera, focused, and began snapping pictures.
Xia Yangyang was inexplicably excited, because Shen Manbing indeed appeared arm in arm with a man, even holding onto his arm.
But after shooting a few frames, Xia Yangyang froze as if a spell had been cast, immobilizing her.
Xia Yangyang stared into the telephoto lens at the man whose arm was being held by Shen Manbing.
Wasn’t it Gu Qichen! Who else could it be?
