Chapter 255: Chapter 84: The Idea

After dropping Yu Haoming back at the company, the driver drove the girls back to the city. Su Xiaocai gathered a lot of opinions about Xue Huiyi in the celebrity circle.

Just one word: fake.

Pretending to be earnest, pretending to be kind, pretending to be generous.

The two female stars didn’t come from privileged backgrounds, barely graduating from the lowest-rated high schools.

To put it bluntly, the high school they attended was full of students who had no intention of studying, just hanging on to get a diploma.

In such an environment, both boys and girls put more effort into grooming themselves, and they all knew a bit about the art of tea, including themselves.

Xue Huiyi’s kind of “pretend” was very common in their circle, so common it was seen right through.

Yet, no one dared to speak up.

Xue Huiyi’s third uncle was a giant in the entertainment industry, overseeing a vast array of businesses in a wide range of fields.

One could say that with just Xue Feiqun alone, Xue Huiyi could walk unchallenged.

The reason he wasn’t too famous was entirely because he was overshadowed by his elder brother, Xue Feiting.

Whenever Xue Feiqun appeared in public, he invariably projected an image of a good man, a great philanthropist.

His company had the best reputation among its peers, free from any shady occurrences of accompanying clients for drinks or meals.

“Then why don’t you sign with Xingheng.”

Fei’er: “Xingheng is good, but its boss always favors family over ethics. He’s notoriously biased when it comes to family matters. So I’ve heard, every time Xue Huiyi goes to Xingheng, all the stars find excuses to go out for work, avoiding direct contact with her.”

“What I’m going to say next is just hearsay, so don’t spread it.” Fei’er said, “The Xingheng boss allegedly committed murder for Xue Huiyi. I heard from a friend’s uncle’s aunt who used to be the lover of an underling at Xingheng. She said that the underling mumbled in his sleep, about how the boss dealt with the person who offended the young lady.”

This connection is a bit twisted, having passed through many hands, it probably isn’t the original story.

It might just be a tale Fei’er made up on the spot.

Su Xiaocai continued to smile and listen, “Who’s your friend?”

“The dead one.”

Su Xiaocai was stumped.

Alright, that’s a clue, Su Xiaocai didn’t press further on which dead friend it was, considering this deceased friend might have suffered a fatal consequence from spreading rumors.

Xue Huiyi had an entertainment company helping with public relations; even if she did something wrong, a strong PR organization could help cover it up.

Actually, Su Xiaocai couldn’t quite understand why Xue Huiyi needed so much public attention.

Mecha design masters were popular in their own circles; they weren’t short on money, nor connections. Making a big deal out of it only diminished the classiness.

What was the purpose of Xue Huiyi’s reverse approach?

Was it about becoming famous and joining the army? If so, wouldn’t she just be a military beauty?

Su Xiaocai couldn’t see the future, nor understand Xue Huiyi. She contemplated this adversary more than once.

Perhaps her thought process couldn’t synchronize with Xue Huiyi’s, so all she could do was prepare for whatever obstacles came her way.

The two female stars then shared some gossip about the entertainment industry, explosive content, the unimaginable was being accomplished.

In this regard, Luo Min knew much more than Fei’er. She was aware of all the antics possible at group gatherings, which was why her own reputation wasn’t good.

Kaye nearly slammed the accelerator.

Fortunately, it was in autopilot mode, and there were no accidents.

Once they reached their destination, Su Xiaocai said goodbye to them leaning against the car window, “Remember to share the gossip with me.”

“Sure thing. If you know anyone who needs a star for a movie or promotions, give us a shout too.”

“No problem.”

The hovercar slowly moved away from the crowded area, heading back to the lab.

Kaye concernedly said, “Teacher Su, their entertainment industry is too chaotic, don’t let them influence you.”

“Thanks, Uncle Ka, I know what I’m doing. I won’t stray off path. You’re always with me, driving me wherever I need to go, right?” The enemy’s background was too strong, learning more wouldn’t hurt; after all, you can’t just recklessly charge forward.

Kaye, “In future, wherever Teacher Su needs to go, just say the word.”

Su Xiaocai nodded, returned to the basement, and picked up Huahua sleeping in the corner of the bed.

Her mind was a mess, too many things happening recently, didn’t even know where to start.

Yeah, sleep first, only with enough energy can one think clearly.

Another day passed.

Extraordinary Island announced the release of more accounts, much to the people’s delight, yet the additional two thousand accounts were like a drop in the ocean. More netizens demanded that the company speed up.

Neither the official website nor Su Xiaocai made any further statements, sinking into silence. Instead, Liu Xun, due to having the selling rights, saw a surge in followers.
