“Fake?”
eting Cui Heng’s uncertain gaze, Jiang Chen kept a straight face.
“Do you really think it’s true?”
Cui Heng quickly snapped out of it, realizing his loss of composure, and explained swiftly, “I just didn’t expect the dia to be so bold.”
Bold.
The description isn’t an exaggeration.
As a public figure, one can’t avoid enduring rumors and even malicious fiction. Which celebrity hasn’t been sared before?
When you’re unknown, even if you’re frad and slandered, you can only swallow your pride, but what level is Pei Yunxi at right now?
Do they really think spreading rumors cos without cost?
The law might not protect the weak, but for the strong, it’s definitely a handy tool.
“Fortune favors the bold, it’s just a gamble.”
Jiang Chen saw it very clearly.
The whole situation is quite simple: Pei Yunxi wasn’t feeling well and went to the hospital, was mistakenly recognized, had her photo secretly taken, and then the photo ended up with a small dia outlet. Large dia wouldn’t dare, knowing that an artist of Pei Yunxi’s caliber is not to be trifled with. If they want to extort, they need to have substantial evidence. But small workshops lack the ntal burden; their impulsiveness leads them to take a gamble with the most sensational headline.
What if they happen to guess right?
Wouldn’t that be an instant rise to fa and fortune?
One has to admit, the world still needs clever people, at least they’ve provided the increasingly detached Boss Jiang with a rare thrill.
“I’ll imdiately start the lawsuit process.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
Whether it was just a false alarm or a waste of excitent for him, actions as reprehensible as fabricating sothing out of nothing deserve severe punishnt.
Even if it’s a false rumor, once it spreads, it will inevitably cause irreparable damage to Pei Yunxi’s reputation.
The public often doesn’t care about the truth, as long as it’s explosive enough.
“We need to do a good job with confidentiality work.”
Jiang Chen reminded.
“Understood.”
Cui Heng said coldly, “Those people won’t be able to work in this industry for the rest of their lives.”
Dealing with the dia is within his scope of work; handling such issues is second nature to him.
Jiang Chen wanted to ask sothing but was interrupted by a sudden ringing of his phone.
“Mr. Jiang, I’ll head out first.”
Cui Heng left the office.
Jiang Chen took out his phone and saw it was Chairman Shi.
The camping at Langlang Mountain that night seed to have drained the other’s energy greatly. They had disappeared for several days and were just now recovering.
As he connected the call, Jiang Chen had already made up his mind that if it was another invitation to dine or drink, he would firmly decline.
“Pei Yunxi is pregnant?”
The opening line on the other end of the call was devoid of emotion but caught Jiang Chen completely off guard.
What he wanted to ask earlier but refrained from was to confirm with Cui Heng how far the rumors had spread.
Just because there’s no buzz online doesn’t an it’s airtight.
See?
The truth or falseness isn’t the primary concern, is it?
“What?!”
Jiang Chen feigned surprise.
“Don’t play dumb. I’m asking you, is Pei Yunxi pregnant?”
Chairman Shi was exceptionally aggressive and overbearing.
Understandably so.
She’s one of the owners of CX Entertainnt.
And Pei Yunxi is the company’s top artist and cash cow. Suddenly being pregnant, how much trouble and loss would that bring to the company?
Chairman Shi must be considering it from the company’s interest.
“It’s a rumor, fabricated by a few paparazzi.”
The shock transford into nonchalance, Boss Jiang’s acting skills improving day by day.
“Are you sure?”
“Certain. I’ve personally called and confird with Pei Yunxi.”
Not a single lie, all truth, just simplified and omitted.
“You believe such absurd news?”
“Is it absurd?”
“Isn’t it?”
“If it’s absurd, what are you afraid of?”
Jiang Chen was bewildered and imdiately retorted, “Where am I afraid?”
“You’re at CX Entertainnt, aren’t you? If you’re not afraid, why are you so anxious?”
Jiang Chen was instantly speechless, feeling as if a pair of eyes was watching him amidst the air.
Shi Qianxi suddenly chuckled coldly, “I actually wish this news is true, let’s see how you clean it up then.”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
When there’s no defense, what can you do?
Pretend to be dumb.
“You’re a man; don’t you dare admit to your own actions? If Pei Yunxi sees you like this, how do you think she’ll feel?”
“Do you have evidence?”
Jiang Chen, neither ashad nor angry, instead spoke in an even more serene tone.
Shi Qianxi paused, then let out a light laugh.
“You’re not just playing dumb yourself; you’re making a fool out of .”
“Do you think I placed Pei Yunxi in CX Entertainnt without considering you might be a fox inside the lion’s den?”
“My dad’s will was so unyielding, yet he couldn’t resist Pei Yunxi’s allure. Can you outdo my dad?”
The words Jiang Chen was about to argue got stuck in his throat.
Alright then.
When she uses her own father as an example, what more could he argue?
Putting aside how “unyielding” Shi Zhenhua’s will actually was, at the very least, he’s an elder after all.
Shi Qianxi indeed remained calm.
As she ntioned, Pei Yunxi’s charm is evident to all, transcending national boundaries, blending eastern and western aesthetics in her. Even if founding CX Entertainnt in the “beauty within the golden house” premise was initially based on her father’s inappropriate thoughts without considering other aspects, she later must have realized the potential risks.
For example… is there a chance soone might “get lucky.”
Shi Qianxi must have considered it, but she didn’t take any targeted asures.
Ordinary won might not comprehend, but Miss Shi’s life environnt inherently deviates from the mainstream.
