The Beginning of the Scandal: 15

Zhou Yun looked at her phone and was in a daze for a few seconds. When she came back to her senses, she typed, "Who are you?"

After the message was sent back, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. The other party did not reply.

Zhou Yun waited for a long time. During this time, she replied to some other messages, but there were no new messages.

Now that it was the Internet era, most of the messages were on WeChat. Very few people continued to use the messaging function of their phones.

After ten minutes, the person still did not reply.

Zhou Yun hesitated for a long time before finally giving up on the idea of calling to ask.

A stranger, an unknown text message, and no reply. It was too much like fishing.

Except…

Zhou Yun could not help but think of the rustling sounds at the entrance of the hotel last night.

There was also that very obvious electronic sound of him failing to swipe his room card.

She was very sure that she wasn't having a nightmare.

Someone had tried to sneak into her room and failed.

Zhou Yun put down her phone and used the hairdryer to dry her hair.

There were four jobs tomorrow, but luckily, they were all in Shanghai. There was no need to catch any more flights.

Zhou Yun slept until dawn. When the alarm rang, she felt that she had just fallen asleep.

She was very tired and sleepy. Her head felt heavy, as if it was filled with lead.

The person in the mirror had not put on makeup and was bare-faced.

Every time this happened, Zhou Yun would think of her teenage self.

At that time, everything was so beautiful. Nothing happened, and the sun was dazzling.

After washing up, Zhou Lan knocked on the door.

The car and her styling were arranged by the company, and Zhou Lan was the one who connected them.

Even the car had been changed. It was different from the one yesterday, but the driver was the same person.

Zhou Yun was a little surprised because the car today looked clearly more upscale than the one yesterday.

"Why are you suddenly giving me such high treatment?" Zhou Yun asked in surprise.

Zhou Lan smiled proudly and said, "Because you are making a lot of money now, of course the company has to give you better treatment."

"You fought for it?" Zhou Yun asked.

Zhou Lan nodded. "Everyone is a snob. Didn't that streamer Xiao Hu dare to change the script because you don't have any background and don't look like much and I'm the only one by your side?"

Zhou Yun understood Zhou Lan's intention.

Food, clothes, accommodation, and transportation were not only for one's enjoyment, but also for others to see. If everything was good, others would naturally think highly of you when you were at a level that others could not reach. If everything was inferior and looked shabby, others would naturally look down on you.

Reality was always mean. Perhaps it was not as accurate as a scale, but it was also divided into two sides.

Zhou Yun did not dare to say that she did not care about these things.

There was only one job in the morning. It was the opening of a brand in Shanghai. Zhou Yun was invited to attend the opening.\

It wasn't a big brand, but it was backed by a large corporation who spent a lot of money. Other than Zhou Yun, they also invited a few celebrities. The most popular one was Song Chi.

This invitation had come in a hurry. It had only been issued yesterday.

However, they must have decided on a big star like Song Chi long ago.

Hence, it was obvious that Zhou Yun had received the invitation because she was on the trending searches with Song Chi and there was a scandal. Hence, this shop specially wanted to invite Zhou Yun over and get the protagonists of the scandal in the same frame to hype up the popularity.

Even though she knew that, Zhou Lan still helped Zhou Yun to accept the job.

Zhou Yun did not ask. She understood Zhou Lan's intention.

No one was a pure and innocent little white flower. The scandal that should be clarified needed to be clarified, but why not borrow the popularity that could be borrowed?

For this job, the other party had given her a lot of money to hype up their popularity.

Zhou Lan didn't even need to spend money to manage the subsequent popularity. Naturally, there would be brands to manage it.

This way, Zhou Yun could gain another wave of popularity.

"Sister Lan, do you think Song Chi will scold me when he sees me later?" Zhou Yun asked jokingly. "This time, we clearly knew that he would be attending and even took on this job."

"It's none of his business. We didn't ask for this job. It was an invitation from the brand. Why wouldn't we accept it?" Zhou Lan said confidently. "If they come to find trouble with you, I will scold them back."

The brand had prepared a lounge for all the celebrities who were attending today.

Zhou Yun also had her own room.

Not long after the two of them entered, someone knocked on the door.

After what happened to Lin Xiaomiao, Zhou Lan was much more vigilant. She stepped forward and asked through the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me." A feminine male voice sounded from outside the door. "Luo Yuhu."

Luo Yuhu?

What was Song Chi's manager doing here?

Zhou Lan turned around and exchanged a look with Zhou Yun before opening the door.

Luo Yuhu crossed his arms in front of his chest and walked in as soon as the door was opened. He walked into the room and turned around to order Zhou Lan, "Close the door."

Zhou Lan did not close the door completely, but left it ajar.

"Why are you looking for us?"

Luo Yuhu sneered and said, "Don't appear on the red carpet later."

There was a red carpet at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and there were many media reporters.

Zhou Lan was startled and asked, "Why?"

"Why? You still have the cheek to ask why? I've never seen anyone more shameless than you guys. Even a dog skin plaster isn't as clingy as you guys." Luo Yuhu's face darkened, and his mouth sounded like firecrackers. "You clearly knew that our Brother Chi would attend today, but you still followed him. Aren't you just trying to ride on the popularity? Let me tell you, give up on this idea as soon as possible. No way!"

"Are you born in the year of the dog?" Zhou Lan took a step forward and narrowed her eyes. "You shouted as soon as you entered the door. You have a mouth, but you don't know how to talk properly, do you?"

Luo Yuhu was stunned. He didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who dared to talk back to him.

Luo Yuhu gasped and glared at Zhou Lan. He raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Lan with his trembling index finger. After a while, he said, "How dare you talk to me like that!"

Zhou Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you a relative of the royal family or something? What's wrong with me talking to you like this?"

"Good! How dare you not know what's good for you! Just you wait and see!" Luo Yuhu let out a sharp cry. He turned around in exasperation and walked out of the room. Then, he slammed the door with a loud bang.

This sound was probably heard by everyone around them.

Zhou Lan pursed her lips in disdain and said, "I don't know how such a person stays by Song Chi's side. With such a temper, how could he not offend all the partners?"

Zhou Yun sighed softly and spread out her hands. "Look, I knew they would have such a reaction. I've really offended them this time."
