Chapter 191: Well-played Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Huo Chaosheng turned to look at Lu Shiyuan in disappointment. “Didn’t you say that you would let Lin Shanchu negotiate the contract with “It’s the same even if you discuss with me.” When Huo Chaosheng grabbed Lu Shiyuan’s arm in front of everyone, Lu Shiyuan felt humiliated and was very unhappy. However, he was concerned that he would have to negotiate the contract with Huo Chaosheng later, so he did not have a fit. Even so, his tone did not get any better. Unexpectedly, Huo Chaosheng’s tone was worse than his. “But I don’t want to negotiate with you.” He sounded extremely impatient, as if he did not bother to say another word to Lu Shiyuan. He reached out and pressed the button to the nearest floor. All the artistes that Lu Shiyuan had dealt with pleased and begged him respectfully. It was his first time encountering someone as shameless as Huo Chaosheng. Lu Shiyuan’s expression turned completely cold. “Although Lin Shanchu is one of the shareholders in the company, she is not familiar with the company’s business affairs. She is not as professional as me.” “I don’t care if she’s professional or not.” Huo Chaosheng did not even look at Lu Shiyuan. He just wanted to get out quickly and play with Lin Shanchu. He came to Lu Corporation because when Lu Shiyuan contacted him, he promised that he would let Lin Shanchu negotiate the contract with him. On the other hand, he also wanted to meet Lin Shanchu’s fiancé. He initially thought an interesting person like Lin Shanchu would have an intriguing fiancé as well. He did not expect that Lu Shiyuan would be so boring. “You’re not here to negotiate the contract!” Only then did Lu Shiyuan realize that Huo Chaosheng was here for Lin Shanchu. Ding! The elevator door opened. Huo Chaosheng left without looking back. He only liked to play with interesting people. He had classified Lu Shiyuan under the “boring” category. Naturally, he would not say another word to him. Lu Shiyuan, who felt that he had been played, was naturally unwilling to let Huo Chaosheng off the hook just like that. Lu Shiyuan ran out of the elevator and grabbed Huo Chaosheng, pressing him against the wall. “You’re here for Lin Shanchu. What’s your relationship with her?” Huo Chaosheng hissed in pain as his back slammed against the wall. Discover The Easy Way To Manage Your Blood Sugar INSULUX He closed his eyes to relax. He looked at Lu Shiyuan only after the pain in his back eased a little. “You’re kinda interesting…” Huo Chaosheng stared at Lu Shiyuan and paused for a moment before he completed the rest of his sentence. “But I don’t make friends with violent people.” Lu Shiyuan felt that Huo Chaosheng was a strange person. He only wanted to know what the relationship between Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu was. He did not say that he wanted to be friends with Huo Chaosheng. Under Lu Shiyuan’s puzzled gaze, Huo Chaosheng said lightly, “If one can’t control their own actions, they are no different from animals.” Lu Shiyuan understood him this time. Huo Chaosheng called him an animal. “You’re courting death!” Lu Shiyuan clenched his fist and swung it at Huo Chaosheng. As soon as Lin Shanchu stepped out of the elevator, Qi Cheng started to discuss the itinerary with her. “There’s an exclusive interview in the morning. It’s not too late to go now.” “Let’s go then.” Lin Shanchu’s tone sounded easy-going and friendly. It was hard for people to associate her current self with the look when she slapped Tang Qidai just now. Qi Cheng fell silent for a moment before he continued, “A few business events on the itinerary overlap with Miss Tang’s. Should we take these few first?” It was impossible for every brand to only take on one artist at a time. They would have several backups. If they failed to negotiate with the original artist, they would naturally have to negotiate with other artists. “Of course I have to accept them.” She was serious about snatching Tang Qidai’s resources. The group of people walked outside as they talked. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the company’s main entrance. Qi Cheng’s expression changed when he looked outside. “Miss Lin, don’t go out yet.” Lin Shanchu did not want to stay in Lu Corporation for another second, so she left quickly. When she heard Qi Cheng’s words and wanted to retreat, the reporters had already surrounded her. Lin Shanchu maintained a smile on her face as she silently recited a word in her mind—f*ck! Qi Cheng and He Xiang were more experienced professionals, so they quickly stepped forward to block the reporters for Lin Shanchu. He Xiang whispered, “Why are the reporters here?” Lin Shanchu lowered her head and pretended to brush her hair. She covered her mouth with her hand and murmured, “Tang Qidai, that b*tch called them over.” It was an extremely firm statement. He Xiang was stunned for a few seconds. After confirming that the words “Tang Qidai, that b*tch” had come from the elegant and gentle Lin Shanchu’s mouth, she responded in a daze, “Oh.” Qi Cheng heard their conversation and sighed helplessly. “Miss Lin, perhaps you can restrain yourself a little?” “Okay.” Ads by Pubfuture Lin Shanchu raised her head and smiled at the camera. The reporters threw a barrage of questions at her. “Lin Shanchu, the footage of you slapping Tang Qidai due to conflict has already gone viral online. Do you have anything to say?” “Why did you have a conflict with Tang Qidai?” “The netizens said that you’re bullying her with your power. Do you admit it?” “Are you going to target Tang Qidai on purpose?” It had only been twenty minutes since this incident happened. To her suprise, the footage had gone viral online so quickly. If it was an employee who revealed it, the news would not have spread so quickly. The reporters managed to learn about the news so quickly and come over because Tang Qidai had hired muckrakers to hijack the trending search list on social media. Qi Cheng did not expect that he had to deal with such a troublesome problem on his first day at work. “Regarding this matter, we…” “Can you show me the footage?” Lin Shanchu interrupted Qi Cheng’s speech. A cooperative reporter showed Lin Shanchu the footage. Qi Cheng was puzzled. The footage was obviously recorded on a mobile phone. They only edited the scene of Lin Shanchu slapping Tang Qidai hard. The sound was loud and clear, indicating that she had exerted a lot of strength at that time. It was pretty well-played. Lin Shanchu was very satisfied with her performance. “Thank you.” Lin Shanchu returned the phone to the reporter. The reporters replied, “Please comment.” Lin Shanchu: ” I’m sorry, I have to attend an exclusive interview later. I can’t give you a comment for the time being.” “Is there any conflict between the exclusive interview and the comment?” Lin Shanchu replied, “Of course there is. If I were to give you a comment now, I wouldn’t have anything to say when the reporter asks me this question again later. ” The reporters were speechless. Qi Cheng was equally speechless as the reporters. He heard about the things that Lin Shanchu had done before. However, when Lin Shanchu came to him because of Jing Ming’s matter, he felt that Lin Shanchu was quite a normal person after getting in touch with her. It had always been difficult to distinguish between the truths and the lies in the entertainment industry. Qi Cheng believed what he saw with his eyes. Therefore, he immediately agreed when he went to Tianzhou Media and was offered a job as Lin Shanchu’s manager. But now… He felt a little regretful. He really did not expect Lin Shanchu would be so ferocious.. Chapter 192: How Could This Be Unworrying? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Unwilling to give up, the reporter asked, “Why don’t you just reveal a little bit first?” Lin Shanchu smiled. “It’s not like I can’t do that.” Feeling a sense of foreboding, Qi Cheng quickly stepped forward to separate Lin Shanchu from the reporter. “I’m sorry, we have no comment on your question.” Lin Shanchu poked her head out from behind, unwilling to be left out. “I can say something first…’ Qi Cheng pushed Lin Shanchu’s head back and said loudly, “Security!” The company’s security guards quickly stepped forward and separated the reporters. Lin snancnu opened ner beautitL11 eyes, 100R1ng extremely Innocent. “We’re all friends. It’s okay to say a few words.” Qi Cheng stopped believing her nonsense. He gestured to He Xiang, and then the two of them carried Lin Shanchu into the car. After Lin Shanchu got into the car, she leaned against the window and shouted at the reporters, “Remember to pay attention to my interview.” Her innocent and cute appearance made her look like an inexperienced artist. All the reporters heard her words. Qi Cheng started the car. Some reporters even chased after the car and asked, “Which media interview?” Lin Shanchu tilted her head and pondered. Which media interview was it? She did not pay attention to it. Lin Shanchu turned to Qi Cheng and asked, “Brother Qi, which media inteview is it?” Qi Cheng rolled up the car window expressionlessly and turned on the safety lock. “You’ll know when we get there.” Lin Shanchu was speechless. Was there a need to be so wary of her? Lin Shanchu turned to look at He Xiang. Without waiting for Lin Shanchu’s question, He Xiang took the initiative to speak, “He Yue Entertainment.” “Oh.” Lin Shanchu patted He Xiang’s head. “Good job. I’ll give you a raise once I earn some money.” He Xiang smiled embarrassedly. Qi Cheng said faintly, “Miss Lin, does President Nan know that you’re so outspoken in front of the reporters?” Lin Shanchu noticed that He Xiang’s face was a little red and swollen, so she casually replied, “He should already know by now.” Nan Mu had always been well-informed. The footage of her beating up Tang Qidai had already been uploaded to the internet. Nan Mu must have found out about such a major incident. Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes INSULUX Qi Cheng was speechless. Currently, he felt like he had been deceived. When Nan Mu had told him to take care of Lin Shanchu, he said that she was gentle, kind, and easy to get along with and that he did not need to worry about her at all. How could this be unworrying? “Brother Qi, you don’t have to call me Miss Lin. It sounds too distant. You can call me Shanshan like Tang Qidai.” When Qi Cheng heard those words, he glanced at Lin Shanchu in the rearview mirror. Lin Shanchu was tugging at He Xiang’s hair and looking at her face. There was not a hint of resentment toward Tang Qidai on her face. He saw how hard Lin Shanchu had slapped Tang Qidai at that time. He thought Lin Shanchu must have hated Tang Qidai for a long time. However, she could mention Tang Qidai so casually at this moment. This girl was not simple. When He Xiang saw Lin Shanchu staring at her face, she quickly pulled her hair and said with a smile, “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt.” “It doesn’t hurt?” Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows. “Yes.” He Xiang nodded. The next second, He Xiang’s painful cry sounded in the car because Lin Shanchu had reached out and pinched the side of her face that Tang Qidai had slapped. “Didn’t you say it doesn’t hurt?” Lin Shanchu let go of her hand and stared at He Xiang calmly. He Xiang was speechless. Qi Cheng saw all everything. “There’s a pharmacy up ahead. I’ll go and buy some ointment for He Xiang.’”‘ He Xiang wanted to refuse him, but when she looked up and met Lin Shanchu’s eyes, she had to bit her tongue. Only the two of them were left in the car. After a while, He Xiang said, “Sister Lin, thank you.”” “No need to thank me. I’ve wanted to hit Tang Qidai for a long time too.” After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she changed the topic and said lazily, “But if something like this happens again, you have to fight back yourself.” He Xiang was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was leaning against the car seat, resting with her eyes closed. Her flawless face was cold after the disguise was removed. When He Xiang was Tang Qidai’s assistant, she had seen quite many female celebrities who were known for their good looks. However, none of them were like Lin Shanchu, who could make people completely unable to take her eyes off Lin Shanchu just by looking at her. “Only you can overcome the fear in your heart.” Lin Shanchu suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and devoid of any emotions, but it made He Xiang feel inexplicably depressed. A few seconds later, He Xiang came to her senses. “I understand.” Lin Shanchu averted her gaze. Those words were not only for He Xiang, but also for herself. He Xiang was afraid of Tang Qidai. He Xiang was afraid of Lu Shiyuan, whereas she still feared Lu Shiyuan deep down. They had to overcome the fear in their hearts. It was laughable. Ads by Pubfuture She was clearly alone and had no worries, but why was she still afraid of Lu Shiyuan? Could it be because of the suppression of Lu Shiyuan’s male lead aura? But how could she weaken Lu Shiyuan’s male lead aura? The system also mentioned the concept of a male lead aura in the beginning. Lin Shanchu thought for a long time before summoning the system. Without giving the system a chance to speak, Lin Shanchu asked, “Is the male lead aura an existence that will never be disturbed by any external force?” [Yes.] The system answered firmly. Lin Sanchu asked, “If there really is an existence in this world that cannot be disturbed by external forces, then how do you explain everything that happened to me?” If it really could not be disturbed at all, then why would she, the female lead, awaken her own consciousness? The system was silent for a while. [There’s no such thing as perfection in this world. Sometimes, there will be some bugs… For example, our system sometimes has bugs that cause the program to go haywire and give the wrong instructions…] The system was afraid of being blocked by Lin Shanchu, so it seriously explained a lot of professional terms to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu did not understand the professional terms, but she was good at catching on keywords. “There are also times when your system faces program errors?” [It’s just an analogy.] The system had switched to the mechanical voice from before. It was originally something synthesized by code. Regardless of mechanical voice or baby voice, it would not show any emotions when it spoke. However, Lin Shanchu felt that something was off. “I understand.” Lin Shanchu blocked the system right after saying that. Qi Cheng had just returned from buying the ointment. “Rubbing will relieve the pain.” He handed the ointment to He Xiang. Lin Shanchu’s phone rang at this moment. He looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Nan Mu. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone without hesitation and turned on Weibo. The profiteer boss, Nan Mu, did not answer her call yesterday, so he should not expect that she would answer his call today. Since Lin Shanchu did not answer the phone, Nan Mu had to call Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng answered the phone. “President Nan?” “Qi Cheng, where are you guys now?” Nan Mu was very gratified when someone finally answered his call. “We’re on the way to the interview,” Qi Cheng answered. Nan Mu immediately replied, “Don’t go. Go straight back to the company..” Chapter 193: Lin Shanchu Had A Wild Way of Doing Things Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qi Cheng fell silent for a moment. “President Nan, are you sure?’”‘ Nan Mu was puzzled. Qi Cheng continued, “President Nan, could it be that you still don’t Imow… she had already told the reporters that they should pay attention to her interview?” Qi Cheng was met with a long silence. Nan Mu was dumbfounded. Now, he finally understood what Huo Xunzhou meant when he said, “As long as you’ve thought it through.” Lin Shanchu had a wild way of doing things. She dared to say anything. She dared to do anything. She dared to cause any trouble. No matter how many endorsements he arranged for Lin Shanchu, it was useless. He was just shooting himself in the foot. But what could he do? He was the one who had begged Lin Shanchu to sign with Tianzhou Media in the first place. He could only support the artists he had signed. After a long time, Nan Mu let out a long sigh. “Go ahead. She can do whatever she wants and say whatever she wants. Just let her be as long as she doesn’t break the law.” He might as well allow an artist whom he could not control do whatever she wanted. Qi Cheng was speechless. “Alright.” After hanging up the phone, Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror. “President Nan called just now.” “What did he say?” Although Lin Shanchu had been playing on her phone, she listened attentively to Qi Cheng’s call. “He told you not to break the law,” Qi Cheng said truthfully. Lin Shanchu thought of Jiang Ziyu, who was still lying in the hospital, and replied against her will, “…Oh.” “Pfft! ” He Xiang could not hold back his laughter. President Nan’s expectations of Sister Lin were too low. Qi Cheng and Lin Shanchu both looked at He Xiang. He Xiang hurriedly changed the topic. “Actually, Sister Lin, the online response to the incident of you slapping Tang Qidai is much better than we thought.” “Is that so? I saw a lot of people scolding me.” Lin Shanchu saw many private messages scolding her when she turned on her Weibo. Ophthalmologists Are Lost. Vision Returned To 100% In A Week! CRYSTALIX He Xiang said tentatively, “Actually… Sister Lin, your popularity is much better than before. Although there are still many anti-fans, many passers-by have a good impression of you and will speak up for you…” Lin Shanchu felt somewhat comforted. “You’re right.” In the past, Tang Qidai had deliberately created trouble and hired Internet trolls to slander her, causing her to be slandered by the entire Internet. Now, some people had started to speak up for her. It also meant that her first move was correct. If she wanted people to notice her and speak up for her, she had to be popular. The more popular she was, the better. Qi Cheng was done listening to their conversation. He thought that Lin Shanchu was worried about this matter, so he comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter. When we get there later, I’ll communicate with the interviewing reporter in advance.” Lin Shanchu had only told the reporters that she would respond after the interviewing reporter brought up the matter again. If the reporter did not do so, Lin Shanchu naturally did not have to give a response. Lin Shanchu shook her head lazily. “No need. I can deal with them.” Qi Cheng wanted to say something, but he did not say anything when he saw Lin Shanchu’s confident look. Lin Shanchu looked down at her phone again. The comment interface stayed on the phone screen. [Lin Shanchu is too arrogant. How dare she hit someone in public? Why isn’t someone like her quitting the industry?] [That’s right. They’re both female celebrities, but she actually dared to slap Daidai’s face.] [Wasn’t she bullying someone with her power in front of Lu Shiyuan?] [Even passers-by will feel that Tang Qidai has been wronged. She and Lu Shiyuan are getting closer, but isn’t Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée still Lin Shanchu?] [You guys are talking as if Tang Qidai is innocent. It’s a fact that she’s a third wheel. I’m not taking sides. I’m waiting for the turn of events] [I’ll wait for Lin Shanchu’s response in the interview.] [Sister Rabbit is a responsible person. She will definitely respond. Let’s wait for her response.] Among the seven comments on this page, four of them were scolding her and speaking up for Tang Qidai. However, as for the other three comments, one was her fan, and the other two passers-by were willing to wait for her response. In the past, it would be difficult to find someone willing to wait for her response or speak up for her even among seven hundred comments, let alone seven. The feeling of having someone on her side… It really felt good. If she had not fought for it, she would not have had these three people on her side. Therefore, people had to fight for their lives. Lin Shanchu arrived at the interview venue on time. The reporter for the exclusive interview was ready. Ads by Pubfuture When the reporter saw Lin Shanchu, she greeted her politely, “Teacher Lin.” Lin Shanchu smiled and asked politely, “Sorry for the long wait. Shall we start directly?” “We need to adjust the lights and machines here. Please wait a moment.” “Alright.” Lin Shanchu turned on WeChat while resting on the sofa. There were three unread messages on WeChat. They were all sent by Qiao Jiaxi half an hour ago. Lin Shanchu was busy reading the news on Weibo earlier, so she had not replied Jiaxi. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and directly gave Qiao Jiaxi a call. Qiao Jiaxi answered the phone almost instantly, as if she was waiting specifically for Lin Shanchu’s call. “President Lin.” “I was too busy today. I didn’t have time to talk to you at the office.” Lin Shanchu’s tone sounded slow and casual. “It’s okay. You don’t have to go back to that talent show now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” “Yes.” Lin Shanchu’s voice was laced with a chuckle and sounded very calm. On the other end, Qiao Jiaxi could no longer hold it in. ” The incident between you and Tang Qidai is trending. I saw the footage, but I believe you. You definitely didn’t hit her for no reason…” “Thank you.” Lin Shanchu smiled. When she went to look for the artiste director at Lu Corporation, she saw Qiao Jiaxi. Although Qiao Jiaxi had managed to ride on Director Li’s coattails, he was not as good as Lu Shiyuan, so the resources she could get were far inferior to Tang Qi’s. Coupled with Kong Suyi’s deliberate oppression, Qiao Jiaxi did not gain any advantage even if she occasionally exposed some dirt on Tang Qidai. Qiao Jiaxi had an impatient personality, so she naturally wanted to ask Lin Shanchu for resources. When Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai were confronting each other, Qiao Jiaxi was hiding among the crowd to watch the drama unfold. Lin Shanchu had already noticed her long ago. It was just that she was not in the mood to pay attention to her. Among the three WeChat messages Qiao Jiaxi had just sent, one of them was: [I have the full video of Tang Qidai hitting your assistant.] Lin Shanchu had long seen the message, but she deliberately did not reply, leaving Qiao Jiaxi hanging. Qiao Jiaxi wanted to use this video to exchange for more benefits. Qiao Jiaxi listened to Lin Shanchu’s reply and wondered, “Didn’t you see the WeChat messages I sent you?” “I didn’t have the time to read it. Did you send me a message?” Lin Shanchu asked in surprise. Qiao Jiaxi gasped. She had deliberately mentioned Tang Yingdai just now, thinking that Lin Shanchu had already seen her messages. Not only had Lin Shanchu not seen her messages, but she also reacted so calmly. Did it mean that Lin Shanchu already had a way to deal with Tang Qidai? In that case, would the video in her hands still be useful to Lin Shanchu? Chapter 194: I’m Not Naive and Gentle, Nor Am I Magnanimous and Kind Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “I’ll take a look now.” After Lin Shanchu replied Qiao Jiaxi, she pretended to look at her WeChat messages without saying anything else. After a few seconds, Lin Shanchu spoke again. “Do you have the full video of Tang Qidai beating up He Xiang?” Qiao Jiaxi was immediately pleased. “That’s right! Do you want it?” As long as Lin Shanchu took the initiative to ask for the video, she would be able to negotiate terms with her. “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it. I have another way.” Lin Shanchu refused in a gentle tone. “Huh?” Qiao Jiaxi was dumbfounded. Did Lin Shanchu really have another way? “Sister Lin, the preparations are ready. The interview is about to begin.” He Xiang walked over at this moment. Lin Shanchu seized the opportunity and hung up the phone. Qi Cheng was still a little worried. “How are you going to respond when the reporter asks about you hitting Tang Qidai later?” “Of course I’ll admit it. What else can I do?” Lin Shanchu let out a long sigh. Qi Cheng was silent for a moment. “There were so many employees present at the time. I could always find one or two people who took the complete video…” “But the problem is, are they willing to offend Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan?” If an ordinary employee offended Lu Shiyuan, they would not be able to survive in the industry. Therefore, even if there was a video, those employees would not admit it. This was also the reason why Lin Shanchu never thought of using this method in the first place. Qi Cheng naturally understood this point. “Finding the full video is the fastest and most efficient way to calm the storm.” Any other method would damage Lin Shanchu’s popularity. As Lin Shanchu’s manager, he naturally wanted to minimize the repercussions for Lin Shanchu. “Don’t worry, there will be a video, and the storm will be quelled.” “What do you mean?” Qi Cheng was puzzled. “You’ll know when the time comes.” Lin Shanchu and entered the recording studio after saying those words. The interviewing reporter arranged by He Yue Entertainment was experienced. She was also very amiable during the interview. Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes INSULUX She also looked gentle when she asked the questions at the beginning, but she turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing towards the end. The reporter asked, “Everyone thinks that you’re naive, gentle, magnanimous and kind person. Do you have anything to say about everyone’s evaluation of you?” “I’m not naive and gentle, nor am I magnanimous and kind.” The reporter asked, “Then what’s the real you like?” Lin Shanchu replied, “I will never forgive those who hurt me. I hope that the people I hate will die soon. I want them to pay the price.” Lin Shanchu had a serious look when she said those words in a gentle tone, but her eyes looked unusually determined. Everyone could tell that she was serious. The reporter was taken aback. It was not that she had never seen a outspoken female artist. However, she had never seen a female artist like Lin Shanchu. She was clearly at the center of the storm. Not only did she not know how to restrain herself, but she was also arrogant. Lin Shanchu seemed to have thought of something happy and smiled at the reporter. “By the way, every time I dream of the ones who hurt me getting killed by a car, I’ll be on cloud nine for an entire day.” The reporter was speechless. She really could not reply to those crazy words. Although Nan Mu was a profiteer, the teams for all the interviews he accepted on behalf of Lin Shanchu were very reliable. The reporter’s questions were getting sharper, but they were still within a reasonable range. Instead, Lin Shanchu’s answer made the reporters feel scared. Hence, the reporter stopped the recording. Qi Cheng had been standing guard at the side. He walked over as soon as the recording stopped. “Brother Qi, please talk to Miss Lin.” The reporter and Qi Cheng had dealt with each other before in the entertainment industry. After the reporter finished speaking, she stood up and left, making room for Qi Cheng to give Lin Shanchu a piece of his mind. “Didn’t we have a good chat? Why did she suddenly stop?” Lin Shanchu had a puzzled look while looking at the reporter. Her clear eyes looked as innocent as they could be. The reporter was dumbfounded as she looked at Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng placed his hands on his hips and fell silent for a moment. “That’s it. It’s quite good. Go on.” There was a hint of hopelessness in his tone. Even President Nan could not control Lin Shanchu, so what could a newly-appointed manager like him do to control her? Besides, he felt that Lin Shanchu was not the kind of muddle-headed artist. Since Lin Shanchu dared to say those words, she must have been mentally prepared. “Are you serious?” The reporter was shocked.” Qi Cheng waved his hand and left. Lin Shanchu had already returned to her seat and was ready to continue recording. Ads by Pubfuture The reporter spent some time trying to regain her composure. Since Lin Shanchu dared to say all kinds of crazy things, she might as well spice things up. The reporter quickly asked about the incident where Lin Shanchu hit Tang Qidai. “Have you seen the video of you slapping Tang Qidai on the Internet?” Lin Shanchu nodded obediently, like a little kid answering her teacher’s question seriously. “My reporter friend showed it to me.” The reporter asked, “…You really hit her?” Lin Shanchu replied, “Yeah.” The reporter was speechless. She wondered what was going on with the excitement in her tone. The reporter’s palms started to sweat. She braced herself and continued to ask, “Why did you hit her?” Lin Shanchu replied, “This is actually a private matter between me and Tang Qidai. I didn’t expect it to be posted online. Only Tang Qidai knows the reason why I hit her. I don’t want my private matter to be magnified.” It meant that she did not want to talk about this matter anymore. The reporter was speechless. Wasn’t she fearless to say anything just now? And now she did not want her private matter to be magnified? The words “You’re done for, you’re going to be slandered” were written all over the reporter’s face. “Is that so? But everyone is waiting for your response.” Lin Shanchu replied, “This is my response. I don’t do things for merit. I just want to follow my conscience and not disappoint those who believe in me.” After the interview, the reporter roughly organized the interview content. Lin Shanchu’s speech throughout the interview was very bold. Based on her personal experience, most of the content had to be removed before it could be broadcast. She told Lin Shanchu about this matter tactfully. Lin Shanchu understood and agreed, “I don’t know much about the subsequent editing and playback, but you’re all professionals. You must know what the audience likes to watch. Thanks for your hard work.” The entire team was stunned. Didn’t the audience love to watch the content that needed to be removed? The reporter had already given up on communicating with Lin Shanchu and turned to ask Qi Cheng, “Brother Qi? Did Miss Lin mean that everything can be broadcasted?” Qi Cheng was already numb. “Of course.” “Don’t you need to ask for President Nan’s opinion again?” Nan Mu had specially called to arrange the interview, and Lin Shanchu was Nan Mu’s main artist, so she felt that she had to respect Nan Mu. Qi Cheng replied, “That’s what President Nan thinks too.” He finally understood what Nan Mu meant when he said, “As long as she doesn’t break the law.” President Nan really understood Lin Shanchu. Reporter was bewildered. Had they all gone crazy? Chapter 195: Third Brother, You Won’t Mind, Right? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Everyone relied on depended on the Internet traffic and popularity to make a living. Since Lin Shanchu had no objections, the interview team were fine with it. As soon as Lin Shanchu and the others left, the interview team took advantage of the popularity on the Internet to release a trailer of Lin Shanchu’s interview. Netizens swarmed over and urged them to release the interview content. The other Weibo posts that the interview team usually posted had a thousand comments at most. As soon as this Weibo message was posted, the comments, reposts and likes skyrocketed. Shortly afterwards, there were more than 1,000 comments. The team had never seen such a scene before and were all dumbfounded. Since everyone was both thrilled, they posted another Weibo message: [See you tonight for Sister Rabbit’s interview.] On the way out of the interview venue, Qi Cheng checked his phone from time to time. When he got into the car, he happened to see the interview team’s Weibo post. Qi Cheng could not hold his laughter and handed the phone to Lin Shanchu. “They’re going broadcast the interview tonight.” “Pretty good. Everyone is waiting to see it.” Lin Shanchu agreed. Qi Cheng wondered if Lin Shanchu had not figured out the current situation yet. He reminded Lin Shanchu seriously, “All the netizens might condemn you when the time comes. We need to prepare a plan now.” “There have been many people condemning me.” Lin Shanchu turned to He Xiang to seek approval. “Isn’t that so?” He Xiang replied, “That’s right!” Qi Cheng said, “…Alright.” They did not have to do anything, right? He understood it. Qi Cheng sighed and started the car. “Let’s head back to the company.” At this moment, a tall figure wearing a flat hat jumped out of nowhere and blocked the car. The brim of the hat was lowered so much that the face was not clearly visible. Qi Cheng was vigilant. He stopped the car while turning on the safety lock. “Why did you stop the car?” Lin Shanchu raised her head and heard someone knocking on the car window. Lin Shanchu turned to look at the person. The man outside leaned against the car window and pulled up the brim of his hat, revealing his good-looking face. Qi Cheng, who saw the person’s face clearly, said in surprise, “Huo Chaosheng?” Lin Shanchu did not intend to care about Huo Chaosheng, but she changed her mind when she saw the wound on his face. Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes INSULUX She gestured for Qi Cheng to turn off the safety lock. Huo Chaosheng consciously opened the car door and urged Lin Shanchu, “Please scoot over.” Lin Shanchu moved to the side. After Huo Chaosheng sat down, he turned his head and wanted to smile at Lin Shanchu, but he accidentally strained the wound on his lips. “Hiss! He held his chin and gasped in pain. Not only was there blood at the corner of his mouth, but his forehead was also swollen red. “Didn’t you go to Lu Shiyuan to negotiate the signing of the contract? How did you end up like this?” Lin Shanchu asked in a gloating tone. Huo Chaosheng snorted upon hearing her words. “Stop mentioning Lu Shiyuan.” Lin Shanchu blinked her eyes and asked tentatively, “Did he beat you up? Huo Chaosheng had a long face. “Someone like him? I fell on my own.” “Oh, you fell…” Lin Shanchu said in a dragging voice. “Lin Shanchu, shut up!” Huo Chaosheng was exasperated. Not only did Lin Shanchu not shut her mouth, but she even started laughing disrespectfully. She thought that Huo Chaosheng was so angry because he had lost the fight. How interesting. It turned out that this pervert, Huo Chaosheng, could not beat Lu Shiyuan. Although Huo Chaosheng was a psychopath, he was most decent in normal times as he could not do anything to Lin Shanchu in front of others. He could only turn his head and sulk. He Xiang remembered that Huo Chaosheng had helped Lin Shanchu back at Lu Corporation, so she secretly handed the ointment that Qi Cheng had bought to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu took the ointment and threw it to Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng glanced at the ointment and stared thoughtfully at Lin Shanchu. “Lin Shanchu, if I had’t gone to Lu Corporation, my face wouldn’t have been injured.” “What does it have to do with me?” “I went there because of you.” “What does it have to do with me?” This was the first time Huo Chaosheng realized how shameless this woman was. “Help me apply the ointment.” Feeling upset, he shoved the ointment into Lin Shanchu’s hand. Lin Shanchu looked at him out of the corner of her eye. “Why should I help you apply the ointment?” “Because we are the same…” Huo Chaosheng deliberately stopped his speech and sized up Lin Shanchu’s expression. “Friend.” “We are not friends.” Lin Shanchu coldly denied. Immediately, she opened up the ointment and deliberately applied it on Huo Chaosheng’s face with great force. “Consider it a thank you for helping me stop Lu Shiyuan’s slap.” Lin Shanchu had personally experienced the severity of Lu Shiyuan’s attack. Even though she was pressing down hard on Huo Chaosheng’s face, he just frowned and clenched his jaw without making a sound. Ads by Pubfuture Lin Shanchu stopped the movement of her hand. “You have good endurance.” “This is the first time a friend helped me apply ointment, so I don’t mind you exerting more force,” Huo Chaosheng said in a half-joking tone as he smiled. Perverts were more or less stubborn. Lin Shanchu did not bother to argue with him. She weakened the force in her hand and quickly applied the ointment evenly before retracting her hand. Huo Chaosheng looked satisfied. “I’ll treat you to a meal to thank you for helping me apply the ointment.” Without giving Lin Shanchu a chance to refuse him, Huo Chaosheng politely said to Qi Cheng in the driver seat, “Brother Qi, please drive to Yong Shui Pavilion. ” Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror and seeked for her opinion with his gaze. Lin Shanchu was about to refuse him, but those words did not fall from her lips because she remembered what the system had said before. The system said that there was nothing perfect in this world. Even the system itself would sometimes make mistakes. Therefore, Lu Shiyuan’s male lead aura was vulnerable. She could not kill Lu Shiyuan, but it did not mean that others could not do it. Huo Chaosheng, this pervert who had suddenly appeared in the main storyline, was able to intercept Lu Shiyuan’s slap in front of him. He might even be able to kill Lu Shiyuan. The car drove all the way to the entrance of Yong Shui Pavilion. Qi Cheng and He Xiang did not plan to go with them, but Huo Chaosheng said with a smile, “Let’s go together. The more the merrier.” His attitude was as warm as it could be. Lin Shanchu saw He Xiang blush. Indeed, Huo Chaosheng had the capital to be likable. Lin Shanchu turned around and said, “Let’s go together.” If Huo Chaosheng wanted to pretend to be generous and gentle, she would fulfill his wish. As expected, Huo Chaosheng raised his eyebrows slightly after listening to her words. The manager personally brought them to a private room. When they arrived at the door of the private room, the manager said, “Mr. Huo and the others are already waiting inside.” Mr. Huo? Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Chaosheng in confusion. Huo Chaosheng pushed the door open. Then, he turned around and asked Lin Shanchu, “Are you surprised?” There were already a few people sitting in the private room. The most eye-catching one was the man sitting in the middle. “Best Actor Mr. Huo!” He Xiang exclaimed from behind. When Huo Xunzhou heard the commotion, he raised his and looked over. His gaze swept across Lin Shanchu’s face, as if the two of them were not familiar with each other. As Huo Xunzhou’s gaze fell on Huo Chaosheng’s face, he said calmly, “You’re here.” Huo Chaosheng smiled as he pushed Lin Shanchu forward. “I brought Sister Shanshan here.. Third Brother, you won’t mind, right?” Chapter 196: I Can Deal With It Myself Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly, looking displeased. He ignored Huo Chaosheng’s words. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Lin Shanchu. “Come and sit down.” His tone was gentle and polite, sounding a little distant. Lin Shanchu walked over without saying a word. Li MO, who was sitting next to Huo Xunzhou, subconsciously stood up to give up his seat when he saw Lin Shanchu coming over. Huo Xunzhou calmly held his arm. Lin Shanchu took a seat opposite Huo Xunzhou. “Miss Lin,” Li MO greeted her. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. Nan Mu, who was sitting on the other side of Huo Xunzhou, asked Lin Shanchu, “Did the interview go well?” “It went smoothly,” Lin Shanchu replied. Although Qi Cheng had attended big occassions before, he had never attended such a private dinner with all the big shots. He sat down obediently with He Xiang at the side. Huo Chaosheng was the last to sit down. He sat beside Lin Shanchu. “Look at what you want to eat.” Huo Xunzhou’s charming voice sounded deliberately gentle as he handed the menu to Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu looked up at Huo Xunzhou, she was sizing him up. Huo Xunzhou did not usually speak like this. Whether he was happy or not, Huo Xunzhou usually spoke in a very indifferent tone. Occasionally, there would be some emotional fluctuations and subtle differences in tone. However, one could hardly notice it without listening to it carefully. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou’s deliberate gentleness did not make her feel close to him. Instead, it made him seem distant. Lin Shanchu took the menu and said, “Thank you.” Huo Chaosheng stroked his chin and said unhappily, “Third Brother, you’re biased and don’t even give me the menu.” “Don’t you have hands?” Huo Xunzhou snorted. “Alright, alright, I’ll take it myself. I’m not as beautiful and doting as Sister Shanshan after all.” Although Huo Chaosheng was sighing, there was no hint of unhappiness in his tone. Lin Shanchu calmly heard every word of the conversation between the two people. There was nothing wrong with their conversation. As a bystander, Lin Shanchu even felt that Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were fairly close brothers. Back in the training camp, Huo Chaosheng would behave himself as soon as Huo Xunzhou opened his mouth. Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes INSULUX Huo Chaosheng was very disciplined in front of Huo Xunzhou. As for Huo Xunzhou’s attitude towards Huo Chaosheng… Lin Shanchu could not understand them. In short, there was something strange about the way these two brothers got along with each other. Huo Xunzhou was also a little puzzled. Lin Shanchu was annoyed for some reason. She stomped on Huo Chaosheng’s foot under the table and said, “I told you I have a name.” Huo Chaosheng immediately begged for mercy. “Alright, alright. I won’t call you Sister Shanshan, okay!” Lin Shanchu moved her foot away. Huo Chaosheng smiled at her, then turned around and said smugly, “You don’t know how silly this sister of mine is. When I went to Lu Corporation, she didn’t know that Lu Shiyuan was about to lay hands on her. Fortunately, I appeared in time to save the damsel in distress!” As he spoke, he stared at Huo Xunzhou the entire time, not letting go of any of his expressions. Nan Mu and Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou at the same time. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and looked at Lin Shanchu with concern. “If you need my help, just let me know.” Huo Xunzhou was a restrained deep thinker. The more polite and generous he was without concealing himself, the more distant and indifferent one felt about him. Lin Shanchu suddenly understood why she felt that Huo Xunzhou was acting weird. It was because Huo Xunzhou was deliberately distancing himself from her. She thought about it carefully. It seemed that Huo Xunzhou had been deliberately distancing himself from her ever since Huo Chaosheng appeared. However, she also intentionally kept her distance from Huo Xunzhou, so she did not realize this early on. Not only that, Huo Chaosheng had been deliberately testing her relationship with Huo Xunzhou since just now. When Lin Shanchu figured it out, her tone became cold. “I can deal with it myself.” Huo Xunzhou’s expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. “That’s good.” Huo Chaosheng narrowed his eyes and scanned Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu back and forth. However, both their expressions were so cold that Huo Chaosheng could not tell anything in the end. Huo Chaosheng put his hand on Lin Shanchu’s chair and said with a smile, “You can look for me if you need anything. I love helping others the most, especially my beautiful silly sister.” “Waiter, we’d like to order.” Lin Shanchu did not deign to deal with this pervert. Huo Chaosheng was not annoyed. Instead, he said with admiration, “My sister has a strong character.” Lin Shanchu was speechless. What a lunatic! During the dinner, Huo Chaosheng never stopped. He was either helping Lin Shanchu to pick up the food or chatting with others. At first, he talked to Huo Xunzhou, but Huo Xunzhou ignored him. He then talked to Lin Shanchu, but Lin Shanchu ignored him too. He talked to Nan Mu later. He did not feel awkward and started chatting with Nan Mu. He looked like a cheerful and talkative normal person. Ads by Pubfuture While chatting, he did not forget to continue helping Lin Shanchu pick up the food. Lin Shanchu returned the food to him, but he continued to pick more food for her. The more Lin Shanchu rejected him, the more excited he became. “Don’t be shy. Eat more.” Lin Shanchu was very annoyed. She stared at the bowl in front of her, trying to calm herself down. She realized that her temper was getting worse. If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many people around, she would have poured the food in the bowl on Huo Chaosheng’s head. Just as Huo Chaosheng was about to place another food that he had picked up into Lin Shanchu’s bowl, a whim struck her. She passed the food to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment and looked up at Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu did not look at him. She was smiling at Huo Chaosheng. “You’re the younger brother. Why don’t you give your third brother some food?” Li MO saw his big brother tightened his grip on his chopsticks. Not to mention his big brother, he even felt annoyed for Miss Lin. ‘My third brother…” Huo Chaosheng turned around with a grin, but he fell silent when he met Huo Xunzhou’s cold gaze. “Eat your meal properly.” Huo Xunzhou’s deep voice was as cold as his eyes. Huo Chaosheng finally calmed down. The dinner ended in a strange harmony. When they left the private room, He Xiang carefully pulled Lin Shanchu’s arm. “What’s wrong?” Lin Shanchu asked her. He Xiang said awkwardly, “Sister Lin, I… I need to go to the restroom.” There was also a restroom in the private room, but He Xiang was too embarrassed to go there. It was her first time in a place like this, and she could not find the restroom for a while. Lin Shanchu was relieved as she said, “I’ll take you there.” She greeted Qi Cheng and took He Xiang to the restroom. She greeted Qi Cheng and took He Xiang to the restroom. She came out of the restroom nd waited for He Xiang outside. He Xiang probably had an upset stomach because she did not come out after a long time. Leaning against the wall, Lin Shanchu lowered her head and played on her phone. By the time she noticed a group of drunkards approaching, someone was going to bump into her. There were too many people blocking the way. Since she had nowhere to hide, so she could only turn her face away and stretch out her arms to protect herself. However, to her surprise, that person did not bump into her. Bang! Lin Shanchu looked at the drunkard lying on the ground. She then turned around with a blank expression, only to see Huo Xunzhou.. Sweat, Strength, Success0:02 / 1:07 Chapter 197: Take A Detour Whenever You See Her In The Future Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Huo Xunzhou sat in a wheelchair with an icy-cold expression on his face. He was sizing her up with his charming eyes, as if he was confirming that she was fine. Lin Shanchu looked at him for two seconds. She then snorted and turned away, ignoring him. “Who the f*ck kicked me just now?” The drunkard on the ground stumbled to his feet and cursed as he looked around. Then, his gaze fell on Huo Xunzhou. The drunkard pointed at Huo Xunzhou and asked, “Did you kick me just now?” Lin Shanchu took two steps forward and stood in front of Huo Xunzhou like a protector. “How could he kick you when he’s like this?” The drunkard narrowed his eyes and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair. “So you’re a cripple.” Lin Shanchu glared at the drunkard coldly. “Watch your mouth.” “He’s a cripple to begin with, so why can’t others criticize him?” The drunkard sneered and tilted his head to look at the man behind Lin Shanchu. “You’re hiding behind a woman. Are you still a man?” The drunkard sized Huo Xunzhou up and said with a strange smile. “You’re probably impotent when you’re crippled like this, right?” “Have you become dumb from drinking alcohol?” Lin Shanchu understood the implicit meaning behind the drunkard’s words and unconsciously rolled up her sleeves with a cold expression. She usually felt that she offended Huo Xunzhou when she spoke to him in a harsh tone. This idiot who came out of nowhere dared to badmouth Huo Xunzhou. When Huo Xunzhou saw Lin Shanchu was about to start a fight, he relaxed his frown and curled his lip. He reached out and grabbed Lin Shanchu’s wrist, pulling her behind him. “It’s better for a brother to deal with a matter like this.” There was a hint of tease and a natural intimacy in his tone, sounding different from his previous deliberate tone. This was the Huo Xunzhou whom she was familiar with. The moment Lin Shanchu was absentminded, Huo Xunzhou pulled her behind him. Lin Shanchu was a little annoyed. “Why all of you surnamed Huo always like to be someone’s brother?” Besides, am I that close to you?” He pretended to be polite to her earlier, but now he started teasing her again. Men were always troublesome. The smile on Huo Xunzhou’s face instantly subsided. The drunkard walked towards Lin Shanchu, “Whom the f*ck are you calling dumb?” “I’m talking about you!” Lin Shanchu was furious, so she turned around to scold the drunkard. ‘You b*tch!” The drunkard stumbled towards Lin Shanchu and reached out to grab her. Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes INSULUX However, Huo Xunzhou stopped his hand as soon as it reached midair. Huo Xunzhou pulled his arm and secured it on the armrest of the wheelchair. He then pressed his other hand down heavily in a hurry. A clear “crack” sound was heard. “You cripple…” Before the drunkard could finish his words, he fell to his knees and qrrpnmpd Lin Shanchu still had not come to her senses. She looked down at the drunkard lying on the ground. The drunkard writhed in pain on the ground. His other arm froze and he dared not move it. Huo Xunzhou bent down and reached out to grab him by the neck before turning his face in Lin Shanchu’s direction. “Take a detour whenever you see her in the future.” Huo Xunzhou turned the drunkard’s face in his direction and asked seriously, “Can you do it?” Even though Huo Xunzhou was grabbing someone by the neck, his posture remained elegant and decent and his tone was calm and dignified. “Yes…” The drunkard hurriedly said in a hoarse voice, “I can, I really can…” “If you’re not convinced, feel free to find me. My name is Huo Xunzhou.” After Huo Xunzhou calmly introduced himself, he shook him off. Lin Shanchu noticed that he was frowning as he looked at his hand, as if he was somewhat disgusted. On the surface, some people were retired film stars with infinite glory, but behind the scenes, they were petty, vengeful, and had little mysophobia. “Big brother.” Li MO hurried over. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he heard Huo Xunzhou say, “Take him to the hospital.” “Oh.” Li MO looked dumbfounded as he dragged the drunkard away. Just as Huo Xunzhou was about to turn to look at Lin Shanchu, he realized that someone was pushing the wheelchair behind him. They were heading towards the men’s restroom. “Lin Shanchu, what are you doing?” Huo Xunzhou’s voice was a little tense. Lin Shanchu said seriously, “You did me a great favor just now, so I’ll take you to the restroom.” “I can go to there by myself.” “No! I’m not an ungrateful person. You helped me, so I have to help you, right?” Sensing Huo Xunzhou’s stiffened expression, Lin Shanchu added fuel to the fire by leaning over and whispering in his ear, “Brother Xunzhou.” Huo Xunzhou tightened his grip on the armrest. Two seconds later, Huo Xunzhou said in a low voice, “Stop fooling around.” It seemed that he was admitting defeat. Only then did Lin Shanchu release her hand in satisfaction. “Alright, I’ll find a chance to repay you in the future.” There was no more movement behind him. Huo Xunzhou thought that Lin Shanchu had left. Ads by Pubfuture He turned his head to look back, and it just happened that Lin Shanchu, who was behind him, was poking her head and looking at him. The two of them almost collided with each other. Their eyes met as they were caught off guard. Lin Shanchu blinked repeatedly. “Is your hand okay?” Huo Xunzhou had just broken someone’s arm barehandedly. He had done it ruthlessly and neatly. He looked dashing. However, his hands were not made of iron, so it was impossible for him to be unscathed. Huo Xunzhou moved his arm under her gaze and said eloquently, “I’m fine now. ” “Sister Lin!” He Xiang’s voice came from behind. The expression on Huo Xunzhou’s face disappeared instantly. He turned around and went into the men’s restroom. He Xiang trotted over and blocked Lin Shanchu’s face before pulling her away. “Sister Lin, what are you doing here?” Lin Shanchu brushed away He Xiang’s hand that was blocking her. “What are you trying to block?” He Xiang coughed lightly and said euphemistically, “There will be repercussions if someone recognizes you.” Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes as she asked, “Do you think I’m a pervert?” “But that’s what your gaze is trying to express.” When He Xiang came out earlier, she saw Lin Shanchu standing straight in front of men’s restroom. She even tried to looking inside, which seemed a little perverted. He Xiang could not refute Lin Shanchu and lowered her head silently. Lin Shanchu hastened her pace angrily. “Why did you take so long to come out? Did you fall into a pit?” “I’ll definitely be faster next time.” He Xiang was way shorter than Lin Shanchu, so she hastened her pace to catch up to Lin Shanchu. “I think you should find some time to consult a doctor.” ‘…Alright.” There was a hospital ten minutes away from Yong Shui Pavilion. After Li MO took the drunkard to the hospital, he quickly returned to Yong Shui Pavilion. Huo Xunzhou was waiting for him in the lounge. When he got closer, he saw that Huo Chaosheng was also there. He was puzzled but did not ask further. He stepped forward and tried to push Huo Xunzhou. However, Huo Chaosheng took the lead. “I’ll do it.” Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou as he bit his tongue. Huo Xunzhou said calmly, “Let’s go.” After getting into the car, Li MO asked Huo Chaosheng, “May I ask where Mr. Huo is going?” Huo Chaosheng said with a smile, “He’s going to Third Brother’s house..” Chapter 198: When Have I Ever Lied to You? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li MO had a complicated expression on his face when he looked at Huo Xunzhou through the rearview mirror. Huo Chaosheng continued, “It’s not comfortable to stay in a hotel. Anyway, there are only the two of you living in Third Brother’s house. I can save a lot of money by moving there, right, Third Brother?” Huo Xunzhou’s eyes were slightly closed. “Keep quiet.” “Oh.” Huo Chaosheng obediently remained silent for a few seconds. “Third Brother, what do you think of Lin Shanchu?” Huo Xunzhou did not open his eyes as if he did not hear him. Huo Chaosheng became even more enthusiastic. “I think she’s quite interesting. I kind of like her.” Li MO sneaked a look at the back. He remembered that Miss Lin treated Huo Chaosheng quite badly. Even so, Huo Chaosheng still liked Miss Lin? Was there something wrong with his mind? Huo Xunzhou said casually, “Is that so?” Huo Chaosheng, who received a response, was unusually happy. He asked, “Yeah, don’t you like her?” Huo Xunzhou opened his eyes upon hearing those words. He turned to look at Huo Chaosheng. He glanced at Huo Chaoshengs face for a moment. “How did your face get injured?” It seemed that Huo Chaosheng did not expect Huo Xunzhou would change the topic all of a sudden. He was stunned for a moment before he said, “I was talking to you about Lin Shanchu, and now you’re paying attention to the injury on my face. You don’t like her that much?” Huo Xunzhou asked persistently, “Did Lu Shiyuan do it?” Huo Chaosheng stopped smiling probably because he felt embarrassed. He vaguely acknowledged with a “hmm”. Then, he said unhappily, “I was careless this time. I’ll beat the crap out of Lu Shiyuan next time.” Huo Xunzhou said slowly, “Lu Shiyuan is the local tyrant of Xu City. He’s not that easy to deal with.” “What do you mean?” Huo Chaosheng frowned. “What I’m trying to say is, if you want to deal with Lu Shiyuan…” Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment. His eyes were so dark that it was hard for one to see through them. Then, he continued, “Third Brother can help you.” “Really?” Huo Chaosheng’s eyes gleamed. “When have I ever lied to you?” Huo Xunzhou’s face looked calm without any fluctuating emotions. Huo Chaosheng replied happily, “Alright!” Lin Shanchu followed Nan Mu back to Tianzhou Media. Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes INSULUX Qi Cheng told Nan Mu about the content of the interview. Nan Mu fell into a long silence after listening to him. Lin Shanchu sat opposite him and asked with a smile, “President Nan, is there anything you want to say? If not, I have to attend an event in the afternoon.” When Nan Mu heard that she was going to attend an event in the afternoon, he felt his temples throb and his head hurt badly. “I’ve already informed the event organizer. You don’t have to go. What you need now is rest.” He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but this lady did not listen to him at all. “I don’t have to go?” Lin Shanchu looked innocent as her eyes widened. “But my schedule is so full. I still have to rush for other endorsements.” Nan Mu was on the verge of tears. “I admit that I spoke a little too loudly just now. Just ignore the schedule and forget about it!” Lin Shanchu asked, “How can I do that?” Nan Mu said, “You have to!” Lin Shanchu replied, “Deal!” Nan Mu was speechless. Nan Mu had filled Lin Shanchu’s schedule to the brim just to test how much work capacity Lin Shanchu could accept. When he was Huo Xunzhou’s manager, Huo Xunzhou could always decide and solve everything himself. He always felt that he had no chance to display his prowess. Secondly, he had filled up Lin Shanchu’s schedule because he wanted her to get popular faster and to prove his own strength. In the end, he was the one being taken advantage of. Nan Mu sighed. “You can decide on your own work arrangements in the future. You can take on whichever you want.” Lin Shanchu replied, “Thank you, President Nan.” Nan Mu reluctantly asked Lin Shanchu, “Is there really nothing I can do?” Lin Shanchu replied, “Not for now. I’ll come and ask you a favor if I need anything in the future.” “Alright then.” Nan Mu felt very regretful. Could it be that he had no opportunities to display his prowess for the rest of his life? Suddenly, Nan Mu remembered the strange atmosphere between Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu at the dinner table today. Nan Mu hinted frantically to Lin Shanchu. “Do you have anything else you want to ask me?” “Huh?” Lin Shanchu did not understand his question. Nan Mu gestured for He Xiang and Qi Cheng to leave. Once they left, Nan Mu leaned forward and asked mysteriously, “Don’t you think Xunzhou’s attitude towards you has changed recently?” Lin Shanchu nodded honestly. “Yeah, I can sense it.” Nan Mu asked, “Don’t you want to know why?” Lin Shanchu tilted her head and thought for a while before she answered, “It’s because of Huo Chaosheng.” Ads by Pubfuture “How did you know?” Nan Mu looked at her in disbelief. “Because I have a brain,” Lin Shanchu said with a serious look while holding her chin. “Don’t you think you’re making me look less smarter?” Nan Mu looked intently at her. Lin Shanchu laughed emotionlessly. Nan Mu felt that he had humiliated himself. However, he would not admit defeat easily. “Then tell me, why is Xunzhou so cold to you because of Huo Chaosheng?” He did not believe that Lin Shanchu could guess the answer. “Because Huo Chaosheng is a pervert. He will hurt the people close to Huo Xunzhou.” Lin Shanchu’s tone carried an imperceptible temptation. “You…” Nan Mu was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows. “Am I right?” Nan Mu’s expression became serious. “Your answer is pretty close.” Lin Shanchu sighed. “So that’s the case…” “How did you guess it?” Nan Mu could not accept the fact that he had been outsmarted. Lin Shanchu slowly mentioned a name, “Yun Wu.” Nan Mu raised his eyebrows and motioned Lin Shanchu to continue. “Yun Wu is very afraid of Huo Chaosheng. She’s Huo Xunzhou’s cousin, but she deliberately keeps a distance from him.” This information coupled with the sudden change in Huo Xunzhou’s attitude towards her naturally led her to think that everything was related to Huo Chaosheng. Nan Mu looked hesitated as his lips twitched slightly. “Xunzhou’s family affairs are a little complicated. He will definitely tell you when the time is right, so I won’t say more. ” Lin Shanchu fell silent. Why should he tell her about Huo Xunzhou’s family affairs? She did not need to know about his family affairs. Nan Mu seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, “Regarding Xunzhou’s legs… You must never let Huo Chaosheng know the truth.” After finished his words, he stared at Lin Shanchu as if he wanted a guarantee. “Understood,” Lin Shanchu replied seriously. Lin Shanchu knew well that in the future, she and Huo Xunzhou would not have any deeper interactions. However, she could not help but think about Huo Xunzhou on the way back. Huo Xunzhou was not the kind of person who would be easily coerced by others. Moreover, judging from the relationship between Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng, Huo Chaosheng was the one at a disadvantage. Huo Xunzhou could easily intimidate Huo Chaosheng, whereas Huo Chaosheng was a little afraid of Huo Xunzhou. In that case, why did Huo Xunzhou have to indulge Huo Chaosheng? Chapter 199: Shanshan Was Really Polite Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The netizens were waiting for He Yue Entertainment to release Lin Shanchu’s interview. The official account of He Yue Entertainment originally had a few million followers, but the number of followers skyrocketed in just one afternoon, reaching more than ten million. There were nearly a million comments urging for updates under the Weibo post of [Sister Rabbit’s interview, see you tonight]. Qi Cheng had been paying attention to the situation on the Internet. This huge amount of attention made him a little worried. He Yue Entertainment released a teaser: [Launch at 8 p.m. sharp.] Qi Cheng could no longer sit still, so he decided to talk to Lin Shanchu again. “You should understand that your response to the incident of beating Tang Qidai in the exclusive interview doesn’t hold water.” “Yeah.” Lin Shanchu looked at Qi Cheng, knowing that he had something else to say. “Once the interview goes online, it will be the point of no return for us no matter what the outcome is.” Qi Cheng still felt that it was too risky to release Lin Shanchu’s exclusive interview and wanted to persuade her to play it safe. Lin Shan rested her head on one hand and said thoughtfully, “Us?” This lady’s focus was really special. Qi Cheng smiled helplessly as he said, “Of course it’s us. You, me, and He Xiang. We’re all a team.” Lin Shanchu nodded her head as realization dawned on her. “Since we’re a team, shouldn’t there be some basic trust among us?” “It’s not that I don’t trust you, ” said Qi Cheng. “I just think it’s too risky. All the popularity and audience appeal you’ve accumulated with great difficulty might go to waste.” Before Lin Shanchu was eliminated, he had read through her past information. It was not easy for Lin Shanchu to get to where she was today. “It’s not that serious.” Lin Shanchu looked calm as she comforted Qi Cheng. “If things go south, I’ll just retire and return to Lu Corporation to be President Lin. ” Qi Cheng was speechless. At 8 p.m. sharp, He Yue Entertainment released the exclusive interview with Lin Shanchu on their own platform. As a result, as soon as the exclusive interview went online, the software crashed due to the surge of visitors. The netizens could only urge under the post of He Yue Entertainment’s official account: [I want to see Lin Shanchu’s exclusive interview in three minutes!] [Don’t you know thorough understanding of Sister Rabbit’s popularity?] [Be more conscious and repair it faster. Don’t force to me kneel down and beg you!] Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes INSULUX [I want to see Sister Rabbit, I want to see Sister Rabbit, I want to see Sister Rabbit…] The netizens made He Yue Entertainment to the trending search list. Some agile netizens had watched the content of the interview and expressed their views on Weibo: [I’ve waited for an entire afternoon. I’m very disappointed with Lin Shanchu’s response. Back when Tang Qidai visited the set of ‘My Stage’, Lin Shanchu fell out with her in public. After gaining enough popularity, she claimed that it’s her private matter. She wants to have her cake and eat it. Her response turns out to be in vain. I’ll become an anti-fan…] The marketing accounts that were riding on the popularity quickly followed suit. As the software was repaired, more and more netizens saw the content of the exclusive interview with Lin Shanchu. The controversy also kept growing. [As expected of President Lin. She even dares to say things like ‘I hope the person I hate will die soon.’] [Lin Shanchu, this woman is really kind of crazy.] [LMAO! ‘I dream of the ones who hurt me getting killed by a car, I’ll be on cloud nine for an entire day.’ D*mn, I suddenly feel that she’s so cute!] [I’ve finished watching the exclusive interview. Lin Shanchu didn’t even respond directly to Tang Qidai’s beating. She’s extremely arrogant. This kind of person should quit the entertainment industry.] [This is the so-called responsible Sister Rabbit. She has only been popular for a few days, and she’s already got carried away? She won’t be far from being a duck.] Lin Shanchu ended up on the trending search list after getting scolded by the netizens. Qi Cheng called He Xiang as soon as he found out about this. “Don’t let Shanshan surf the Internet. I’m coming over now.” “Got it.” He Xiang naturally agreed to Qi Cheng’s instructions. However, when Qi Cheng arrived at Lin Shanchu’s house, she was leaning on a recliner and scrolling through Weibo. Qi Cheng’s expression changed slightly as he whispered to He Xiang, “Didn’t I tell you to put her phone away?” Before He Xiang could speak, Lin Shanchu’s voice was heard, “Brother Qi Cheng, you’re here.” Qi Cheng thought for a moment before he asked, “Are you playing on your phone?” “I’m looking at the comments.” Lin Shanchu even showed Qi Cheng her phone screen. “They’re all scolding me.” Qi Cheng sized up Lin Shanchu from head to toe. He heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that there was no trace of sorrow on her face. Feeling relieved, he asked, “What do you plan to do next?” Lin Shanchu threw her phone aside and said slowly, “Wait.” “Wait for what?” Qi Cheng asked. Lin Shanchu said with a smile, “I’m waiting for the ‘fish’ to take the bait.” When Nan Mu found out that Lin Shanchu was on the trending search list due to condemnation, his first reaction was to phone Lin Shanchu and ask her how she planned to end this fiasco. However, just as he took out his phone, he remembered that Lin Shanchu had outsmarted him in the office in the afternoon. If Lin Shanchu had a foolproof plan, he would be crushed again if he called again. Ads by Pubfuture Did he not care about his dignity? Therefore, he dialed Huo Xunzhou’s number. Huo Xunzhou was so smart, he must have figured out Lin Shanchu’s plan. Anyway, Huo Xunzhou had outsmarted him so many times that he was already used to it. He was not afraid of doing it again. As soon as Huo Xunzhou picked up the phone, Nan Mu asked directly, “Lin Shanchu is being condemned on the trending search list. What do you think she wants?” After Nan Mu finished asking, he asked belatedly, “Have you watched her exclusive interview?” On the other end of the phone, the tablet in front of Huo Xunzhou suddenly stopped at Lin Shanchu’s exclusive interview page. The sound of the door opening came from outside. Huo Xunzhou closed the exclusive interview page and opened an email. “Just wait and see.” Nan Mu looked confused. “What are we waiting for? Almost all the netizens are condemning her now.” I’ll just hang up the phone if there’s nothing else.” “Hello?” Nan Mu looked at the phone that had been hung up and felt that he had asked him for nothing. After hanging up the phone, Huo Xunzhou looked up and saw Huo Chaosheng. “Third Brother, Lin Shanchu is being condemned and is on the trending search list.” “Yeah.” Huo Xunzhou responded emotionlessly and just lowered his eyes to focus on reading his email. Huo Chaosheng sized Huo Xunzhou up seriously. “Aren’t you going to help her?” Huo Xunzhou’s tone was cold. “I told you before that she can ask me a favor if she ever needs help.” He implied that he would not meddle in Lin Shanchu’s affairs as long as she didn’t ask for his help. “Tch!” Huo Chaosheng clicked his tongue. “No wonder no women like you! You deserve to be single.” Huo Chaosheng shook his head and turned to leave. As he walked, he took out his phone and called Lin Shanchu. “Silly girl, I’ll help you deal with the matter on the Internet if you call me brother.” When Huo Xunzhou heard those words, his expression froze. His eyes were fixed on a certain line in the email. It was unknown what the person on the other end had said, but he heard Huo Chaosheng ask in confusion, “What time is it now, and you’re already telling me to rest early…” Rest early? Huo Xunzhou curled his lip. Shanshan was really polite and tactful when it came to teasing others.. Chapter 200: Whom the Gods Would Destroy, They First Make Mad Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On the other end of the phone, Lin Shanchu said in a serious tone, “How can you dream if you don’t sleep?” She did not expect Huo Chaosheng would be the first person to call her after the incident. “Dream?” Huo Chaosheng belatedly realized that Lin Shanchu was scolding him for having wishful thinking. However, he was not angry because Lin Shanchu was the friend he had chosen. He liked to see the look on Lin Shanchu when she could not get rid of him even though she disliked him. Huo Chaosheng seriously reasoned with Lin Shanchu. “In terms of age, I’m older than you. Moreover, I’ve helped you before, but why are you unwilling to call me brother no matter what?” “Do you think you’re worthy?” Lin Shanchu’s serious tone did not carry a hint of mockery. It was just a normal questioning tone. Huo Chaosheng was a little angry. At the same time, his competitive spirit was aroused. “I’ll make you yield and call me brother sooner or later.” Lin Shanchu was puzzled. He was not even angry? As expected, Huo Chaosheng’s brain worked differently from normal people. “Just you wait!” Huo Chaosheng hung up the phone after saying that. He Xiang was a little worried when she saw Lin Shanchu sitting there in a daze after the phone call. “Sister Lin, you… Are you alright?” Lin Shanchu could tell that He Xiang was worried. “It’s nothing. It’s a call from a psychopath. Rest early. We have to deal with many things tomorrow.” He Xiang bit her tongue. “…Alright.” She was also considered a member of the entertainment industry. With Lin Shanchu’s current situation, it was hard to tell if she would be able to get a job in the future. Seeing how optimistic Lin Shanchu was, she could not say anything more.

She has her nose in the air and dares to say anything. She deserves to be condemned by the netizens.” “It’s been a night, and the PR on Lin Shanchu’s side hasn’t taken any action. Does that mean she’s out of ideas? Should we use this chance to add fuel to the fire and take down that b*tch Lin Shanchu?” Kong Suyi mentioned this incident to Tang Qidai after Lin Shanchu had ended up on the trending search list due to condemnation last night. Tang Qidai had become more cautious after suffering a few losses because of Lin Shanchu. She chose to wait and see instead of making a move immediately. After pondering for a while, Tang Qidai asked, “Have you taken care of the company’s surveillance cameras and the employees’ phones at the scene?” Kong Suyi smiled as she said, “It’s been dealt with immediately. President Lu even ordered someone to deal with it. Don’t worry. It’s been properly taken care of.” Tang Qidai smiled and said softly, “This time, we have to trample Lin Shanchu no matter what.” “Daidai, don’t worry. That b*tch won’t be able to turn things around this time!” In addition to condemning Lin Shanchu, the netizens also went to Tang Qidai’s Weibo to console her and symphatize with her grievance. Many netizens even asked Tang Qidai to speak out. After waiting for a night, the netizens finally received a response from the other person involved in the incident the next morning. Tang Qidai stirred emotions with her response. [Shanshan and I have been friends for many years. Putting aside my identity as a celebrity, we’re also ordinary people in front of our friendship. We’ll get angry and argue before we are reconciled. These private matters shouldn’t have been made public to disturb everyone. I hope everyone can pay more attention to my work…] In the latter half of the Weibo post, Tang Qidai took the opportunity to promote the new drama that would be launched soon. This new drama was the one that had been postponed because of the text message incident. Compared to Lin Shanchu’s response in the exclusive interview, Tang Qidai’s Weibo post seemed to be more sincere. Many netizens began to side with Tang Qidai. [Tang Qidai’s positive response has made favorable impression on me.] [One can judge the obvious difference by comparing the two sides.] [Would the responsible Sister Rabbit dare to come out and show herself?] [Come to think of it, there’s a reason why Lu Shiyuan is so nice to Tang Qidai.

Looking at Lin Shanchu’s face tha showed no signs of sadness, He Xiang could not say anything to comfort her. When Lin Shanchu saw He Xiang’s eyes were red-rimmed, she said in surprise, “What’s wrong with you?” He Xiang shook her head subconsciously, and then asked in confusion, “Are you alright?” “I’m fine at home. What else can happen to me?” Lin Shanchu tilted her head and sized up He Xiang. A moment later, she came to her senses. “You couldn’t have… Did you cry out of anger while reading the comments?” He Xiang was speechless. Lin Shanchu could not help laughing. “Really?” He Xiang was a little sad as soon as she mentioned the comments on the Internet.
