Hello Mr. King

With He Wei’s permission, Yun Xiangxiang replied to Eric as quickly as she could. Eric was surprised by her choice.

He praised her, “You really are different….”

“Thank you.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t dislike Eric, but they couldn’t get close either.

She quickly hung up. Eric didn’t disappoint her. That very same night, CX officially announced Yun Xiangxiang as their latest ambassador in China.

The top management of CX even cleared the air for Yun Xiangxiang. The top management made a post on her social media, telling the world that she was talking about collaborating with Yun Xiangxiang in that villa that day.

The top management had already bought the villa and was just about to take it from the old owner that day. She even showed the certificate of transfer.

It was strong evidence. Yun Xiangxiang’s fans bypassed the national firewall. They snapshotted the evidence before spamming it on the Weibo of the person who posted the news about Yun Xiangxiang sleeping around with other men.

They hounded after the media outlet that released this news. The fans dug up everything they could find, and finally, they found out that this media outlet belonged to The Era of Stars.

Oh well, now everyone knew what was going on.

Some agents from Huan Yu had already leaked the news about Qin Yue and Yun Xiangxiang going to “Flying Sky”‘s selection at the same time.

The netizens even found out that The Era of Stars had a history of creating smear campaigns against their rivals to win.

Those victims of the past all posted on Weibo, mocking The Era of Stars for using such an underhanded tactic again.

The netizens rebuked the Era of Stars’ antagonistic method, and their company’s share value saw a dip for a few days.

In the end, The Era of Stars had to come out and announce that Qin Yue wouldn’t take part in the selection of “Flying Sky.”

They had to steer clear of being accused of having a conflict of interest with Yun Xiangxiang to counter the accusations online. Only then did the furor die down.

“Bravo, Brother Wei!” Yun Xiangxiang gave He Wei a thumbs up.”

Not only did he kick Qin Yue out this easily, He Wei even promoted “Flying Sky.”

“They call this fair use.” He Wei was used to doing this kind of thing.

“The Era of Stars has come to us. They plan to settle this outside of court.” He Wei continued, “They offer very tempting terms.”

“But I refuse.” Yun Xiangxiang had already made the announcement. She couldn’t take it back.

“I knew you would say that.” He Wei extended his hand. “So, give me your phone for a couple of days.”

Yun Xiangxiang trusted He Wei, so she gave him her phone willingly. Even so, she had to ask, “Why?”

“Why? If my uncle and He Shen calls you and persuades you to take the offer for Cardicra’s wristwatch, can you tell them off just like you did to me?”

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head. She couldn’t tell He Zhen and He Shen off like she did to He Wei.

She was a part of the company, and thinking about its profit was her duty.

Since everything was clear now, going to court or not mattered not to her.

As for the attacks online, she only needed the Era of Stars to make a simple apology, even if it was fake.

She could retreat gracefully and tell the net that she would let them off the hook since they apologized sincerely. With that, she could regain all her lost ground.

He Zhen and He Shen probably didn’t see that it was necessary to make enemies out of the Era of Stars. Yun Xiangxiang did take all the bonuses she could.

The Era of Stars wouldn’t find trouble with her on a whim anymore, or else they would be seen as ungrateful.

If they made an enemy out of the Era of Stars, the net would think that every action taken against Huan Yu was reasonable.

No matter what, choosing to stop at the right time would bring the most out of this case for her.

But she refused!

This wasn’t the first time Chen Junjie and Qin Yue tried to backstab her. If she didn’t teach them a lesson, they wouldn’t learn.

People like them would never learn, no matter how many times they were forgiven. There was no reason for Yun Xiangxiang to choose forgiveness.

The most important thing here was that this case wasn’t just to knock Qin Yue and Chen Junjie down a peg.

She was trying to remind those who thought she was easy prey that she wasn’t going to be put down that easily.

Even if she were just a rising star, there would come a day when her career would be expanded.

For example, her trip to France this time netted her three endorsements. Two of them were luxury brands, while one of them was a top luxury brand. Yun Xiangxiang would see a step up in status when she returned to China.

There would be more media outlets following her and trying to dig up dirt about it. She needed to let these people know she was no easy prey, or else they wouldn’t sit still.

When she thought about it this way, Yun Xiangxiang had to thank Faye. Thanks to her, Yun Xiangxiang managed to reap some benefits along the way.

“You better not think of trying to take advantage of this kind of case. You were this close to being smeared and destroyed!” He Wei knew what she thought when he saw her look.

If Yun Xiangxiang didn’t have her guard up this time, she could forget about coming back peacefully unless Song Mian made a move himself.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at him proudly. “I’m not stupid. I wouldn’t go into a trap unprepared.”

She wanted to go and see who Faye was, just in case that lady would backstab her. But she didn’t expect that the backstab had already started the moment she went there.

Even so, Faye underestimated her. The moment she thought Yun Xiangxiang was just an inexperienced girl, she had lost.

Unbeknownst to Yun Xiangxiang, the pain Faye would have to face wasn’t limited to the things Yun Xiangxiang created.

“Dad, how could you ask me to marry that savage?!” Faye looked at the sturdy man standing before her.

Her father—someone she looked up to since she was a child—wanted her to enter a convenience marriage.

“Jerry is a responsible man. He is a promising young man and the only heir to his family. He has been in love with you for a long time.” Eric didn’t want to do this, but he couldn’t let his daughter do whatever he wanted any longer.

He had always thought that his daughter wouldn’t go insane for Song Mian even if she couldn’t forget him.

But the cruel reality told him that Faye would be even crazier if Eric didn’t stop her from trying to get Song Mian.

“I don’t want to. He is a savage, grumpy dictator. I will never marry him!” Faye resisted.

“Very well, then. If you don’t want to marry him, then choose one from all these young men.” Eric took the iPad from his butler and placed it in front of Faye.

The database on the screen was of the bachelors around Faye’s age. All of them were hand-picked by Eric. Some of them might not have powerful backgrounds, but they were capable men.

Faye hurled the iPad angrily, and it smashed on the ground. “No! I will never!”

“You only have one month. If you can’t choose anyone to marry, you can go straight to choosing your bridal gown.” Eric left after he left that message.

Only Faye was left sitting on the floor. The hatred in her eyes deepened. “Yun Xiangxiang!”

Yun Xiangxiang sneezed, and an inexplicable chill ran down her neck. At this moment, He Wei came in excitedly. “Let’s go! We’ll be seeing someone!”

To Yun Xiangxiang’s surprise, that ‘someone’ was Joseph, the famous Hollywood director Yun Xiangxiang rejected.

“I’m here to see the lady who refused to appear in my film. I want to know what she looks like.” This was the first thing Joseph said when he met Yun Xiangxiang.
