Chapter 330: The Finale (II)
Lisa paused, and then continued, “Should I call the police?”
‘The law of karma will prevail. I asked someone to remove those videos, which led to the result.’
Gu Zijin pondered. He leant against the executive chair, speaking composedly, “The girl should be educated by her parents and teachers. Tell those adults about what she has done. I hope she wouldn’t do that again, otherwise I will teach her a lesson in person.”
“Got it. Should I send someone to deal with this PR crisis?”
“No.” Gu Zijin said in a drily tone, “She means nothing to me. Why should I offer her help?”
Lisa realized that he was pissed off because Qin Xuan and Xiao Heng got involved in rumors. ‘Well, my boss is dishonest.’ Therefore, she gave him an excuse, “But, Ms. Qin just signed a contract with our branch. She endorses our brand. If she’s stuck in scandals, the image and benefits of our company will be harmed.”
Gu Zijin tightened his jaw, “She’s not famous. How can she harm our company?”
“You should go back to work.” He was reluctant to say anything more, waving Lisa away from the office.
The secretary glanced at him but said nothing. She then left.
Silence shrouded the room again.
The man was no longer indifferent. He sat up, staring at Qin Muxuan on the screen for two minutes. Gu Zijin turned off his computer all of a sudden. “You are bold when you confront me. Why didn’t you dodge but stand still as she threw a bottle at you?” He said furiously.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
The man had an impulse to call Qin Muxuan. However, he was dismayed when he noticed the last call had happened 20 days ago.
Gu Zijin laughed to himself and cast his phone onto the table.
**
Although the accident astonished Qin Muxuan, every cloud had a silver lining.
After the wrap party, Xiao Heng decided to compensate her by helping her become the new face of V Group in its advertisements of autumn and winter.
V Group was a popular clothing brand in China. It changed its endorser every season. Celebrities tried their best to seize the opportunity as if they were taking SAT.
Besides, most of its former endorsers were A-list or famous stars.
Xiao Heng was its ambassador.
“That’s out of my league.” Qin Muxuan was dumbfounded. She was embarrassed, “I don’t deserve that. Besides, you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not injured. You don’t have to do so.”
“I should be responsible for my fan’s behavior. She did something bad. As her idol, I should apologize.” Xiao Heng beamed, “I just recommended you to its senior managers. I didn’t say you can endorse the brand directly. No worries.”
However, it was a rare opportunity for everyone.
Qin Muxuan couldn’t refuse a man who said so. She expressed her thanks with a smile and took the business card of V Group’s senior managers.
They had a chitchat before Lin Jia urged Qin Muxuan to leave. The actress then said goodbye to Xiao Heng. Following her assistant, she left with a suitcase in hand for an airport.
As soon as they arrived in A city, Qin Muxuan and Lin Jia hurried to the studio.
Although Qin Xuan didn’t have a masterpiece, programs including advertisements and teleplays queued up to invite her.
Jian Xi had little knowledge about the industry, so she didn’t know how to choose. Therefore, Qin Muxuan had the option.
“I’ve screened those resources, but I’m optimistic about a public service announcement about psychological abuse in school. It matches Ms. Lin you’ve played in Teen.” Jian Xi gave Qin Muxuan a document.
The actress took the script and started browsing.
In the story, there was a nerd who frequently topped the chart. Before she could attend an exam of advanced math, the person who was always in the second place conspired with others to spread rumors about her. They said she was ill. Hence, classmates alienate themselves from her. The girl from a poor family became more introvert. In the following days, she told her teacher about the situation but nothing changed. Before an exam, she was locked in the art classroom for a whole night. After she failed the exam, the girl became more reserved. Although she had had a promising future, she became an ordinary person at the end.
While reading, Qin Muxuan slowed her speed.
It was similar with what she suffered online these days. However, she had grown up with a solid world view and experienced. With a strong endurance, Qin Muxuan could weather the overwhelming public opinions.
Public opinions could ruin or kill a person.
How terrible they were! However, keyboard persons enjoyed a moment’s comfort. They would never consider how many losses they would bring to the victim.
The woman drooped her eyelids in a sentiment. Before she dropped the script, Qin Muxuan remained mute for a while. She then said softly but firmly, “That’s it.”
Qin Muxuan pursed her lips, “Donate the ad money to a charity. Besides, give out another 2 million from my personal account to Care for Youth Development Fund.”
“There’s not much money left in your account.” Jian Xi hesitated, “You’ve spent most of your money on the studio and your house. You’ll live a situation of scarcity if you give out another 2 million…”
“Don’t worry.” Qin Muxuan chuckled, “Xiao Heng has recommended me to V Group. I’m confident about the audition for its endorser in autumn and winter.”
Hearing that, Jian Xi didn’t discourage her anymore. She teased, “Brag and bounce! Don’t let others take the opportunity.”
They were talking and laughing while a call from the front desk interrupted them, “Ms. Jian, a man named Huang Qi comes here to apply for Ms. Qin’s agent. Are you available now?”
Jian Xi was confounded.
