“There are always top artistes under a manager. It’s understandable that this artist has been given the best resources.” Feng Yiran held his bowl of rice and turned around to sit beside them. “This doesn’t mean much.”
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Li Xueqing felt a little smug.
However, she put on an embarrassed expression and said, “I didn’t think I was speaking so loudly that you could hear me.”
Having been in the industry for so many years, Feng Yiran was no easy pushover.
Li Xueqing must have done it on purpose.
Still pretending?
Feng Yiran didn’t expose her. He said, “I was just sitting behind.”
“Oh, oh.” Li Xueqing nodded. “Actually, it’s not a secret. Li Beinian’s resources are more than excellent. Even some of these veteran celebrities don’t have as much resources. Look at Xiao Guan, she has debuted for many years, right? How many variety shows has she been on? Li Beinian could have gone on Man Vs Wild, but it was postponed. I reckon she’d be able to go on the show once we’re out of here. You all know that an artiste will definitely become popular once he or she has appeared on this show. Do you know why?”
Li Xueqing kept them in suspense while the other girls shook their heads.
“Because the director of the wilderness operation is related to the boss of Sheng An Entertainment.” Li Xueqing looked at them mysteriously. “And Li Beinian and that old man are lovers. It’s a sex-for-money transaction.”
“Nonsense!” Feng Yiran was a little angry. “Haven’t all these scandals been clarified? The boss of Sheng An Entertainment is the CEO of a big company. The real person-in-charge is the vice president.”
“Public relations.” Li Xueqing pretended to be serious. “You’re also in this industry. Don’t tell me you don’t know what public relations is?”
Feng Yiran was furious and said, “Only a rat like you would ruin her reputation. People echo the views of others. Show us the evidence!”
“If I had evidence, why would I be sitting here? I’d have switched careers.” Li Xueqing shrugged.
“Tsk!” Wang Shao was the first to speak. “After all the talking, you have no evidence.”
“I thought you were speaking the truth.” Zhao You’er had a look of disdain.
Guan Yueyun whispered as well, “Let’s not speculate about such things. They’re too damaging.”
“Hmph, I heard another piece of gossip a few days ago. Do you still remember Leader Mu?” Li Xueqing lowered her voice. “Li Beinian has something going on with Leader Mu too.”
“No way, Leader Mu seems to hate her.”
“Exactly. He’s even targeted her.”
“That’s just outward appearance.” Li Xueqing sighed. “In reality, they’re very close. I even saw them hugging and kissing and going out in the car together. Remember, the last time we had a break, Li Beinian went out and came back only in the afternoon. Once she was back, she slept like a pig. Who knows what she had been doing while she was out?”
Bam.
Feng Yiran was furious. “The more you say, the more ridiculous it gets. It’s just sensationalism!”
After chiding her, he left in a huff.
The girls looked at each other. Zhao You’er said, “It does seem something like that did happen.”
“Does that mean that Beinian has many men?”
“You can tell from her attitude towards Feng Yiran.” Zhao You’er lit a fire. “Look, she knew that Feng Yiran liked her, but she didn’t reject him or clarify her position. Every day, she played Feng Yiran around her little finger. Look at Feng Yiran, he’s obviously serious about her.”
“How tragic.”
“Yes, it’s tragic.”
Feng Yiran couldn’t calm down.
Was Li Beinian that sort of person?
No, she wasn’t!
They were all saying that the boss of Sheng An Entertainment was a middle-aged man with a pot belly. Li Beinian shouldn’t be related to such a person!
