The Beginning of the Scandal

When she bumped into Song Chi in the elevator last night, Zhou Yun even greeted him with a smile.

After all, he was a top celebrity now. The remuneration for his one drama was equivalent to ten of hers. To use passé words to describe him, he was equivalent to being the 'in-thing'. To use modern terms, Song Chi was a top-ranked amongst the top ten trends, and a fighter jet amongst the top-ranked.

Who knew…

"You're dating Song Chi?!"

Early in the morning, her manager, Zhou Lan, called. Her voice was at least eight decibels higher, making Zhou Yun subconsciously want to throw her phone away.

Her eyes fluttered open, heavy-lidded and weak. "What the hell?"

At this moment, she still did not know what had happened.

Zhou Lan said, "Stop pretending. You were photographed."

Zhou Yun finally regained some consciousness and asked, "What was photographed?"

What surprised Zhou Yun more was Zhou Lan's tone, rather than her strange sentence of 'you were photographed'.

"Why are you so agitated?"

Zhou Lan said, "Do you know that in the hour when you were trending on Weibo, several brands called me and wanted to work with you?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yun finally woke up completely.

"Endorsement?"

"It's not an endorsement, but live commerce. There's quite a bit of remuneration." Zhou Lan said, "You will get paid for the amount equivalent to at least one movie."

Zhou Yun's eyes instantly lit up.

Different from Song Chi, Zhou Yun was just a C-list female artiste who had just entered the industry and had filmed a few movies but was not famous.

The so-called C-list female celebrities referred to nameless celebrities like Zhou Yun, who could get jobs but could not earn much money.

In a fame and fortune fair like the entertainment industry, though Zhou Yun worked hard to film a few shows and participate in all kinds of commercial performances and activities all year round, all of them added up were not even a fraction of the remuneration for Song Chi's one drama.

Back then, Zhou Yun entered the entertainment industry because money was earned quickly in the entertainment industry, and she needed it to repay her debts.

"Wait." Zhou Yun maintained her composure in the face of a huge temptation. "Tell me clearly, what's going on between me and Song Chi?"

Zhou Lan said, "You are still hiding it from me. I have told you that the paparazzi have taken pictures of you. I was wondering why you have been behaving so strangely these days. So you are in a relationship! Zhou Yun, how many times have I told you that you must report to the company when you are in a relationship? Look at how unprepared we are now!"

Zhou Lan's words sounded pretentious.

Although Zhou Lan sounded like she was blaming Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun could feel Zhou Lan's overjoyed mood through the phone.

"No, Sister Lan, listen to me. I'm not dating anyone…"

"You're still pretending!"

"I'm not pretending." Zhou Yun got up from the bed. Her watery eyes were filled with sleepiness. "Don't you know what my situation is? I'm in so much debt now. How can I be in the mood to date someone?!"

Zhou Lan was silent for a few seconds.

Based on Zhou Yun's understanding of Zhou Lan, she felt that Zhou Lan was unwilling to accept this reality.

Zhou Yun had already realized that if the other party was Song Chi, Zhou Lan would be happy to see Zhou Yun dating him.

To hell with the rule that actresses who had just debuted could not date!

The other party was Song Chi, a top celebrity. He was a walking "hot topic". He was a big star who could make anything he used shoot up the charts and become popular.

Zhou Lan might really think that if Zhou Yun was really dating Song Chi, it would also mean that Zhou Yun was really going to become famous, and as a manager, she was going to make money too.

Zhou Yun shook her head helplessly. She thought to herself, What's going on? Why is there such a scandal? Which unscrupulous media is spreading rumors?
