Chapter 221 Another Wave

On the other side, Qiao Yan naturally knew about what was happening on the Internet. She was promoting her new drama these days, the one in which Zhao Wan played a supporting role. As the second female lead, Zhao Wan also had to cooperate with the promotion.

Seeing that in all public occasions, Zhao Wan could only stand aside to set off herself, Qiao Yan was in high spirits and did not want the news of Zhu Yang's unspoken rules over female artists to be exposed online. Even though Qiao Yan was not in the exposed photos, as they were also female artists under Zhu Yang, everyone looked at her differently.

Qiao Yan could accept these strange looks, but she was worried about something else. She knew that her background was not clean either. She was not in the photo this time, and she didn't know whether the other party didn't take the photo or had other intentions.

Now Qiao Yan could only pray that the other party did not take a picture of her. Even if she was unlucky enough to be photographed, she hoped that the other party would ask her for money instead of exposing her directly like they did to other artists under Zhu Yang, thus ruining the careers of these female artists.

Zhao Wan saw that all the other female artists under Zhu Yang had gotten into trouble, but Qiao Yan was still safe and sound. Zhao Wan cursed God in her heart for being blind. Based on her understanding of Zhu Yang's methods, she would never believe that Qiao Yan had reached this point on her own without any unspoken rules.

On the Xingyao Entertainment side, the public relations strategy for the news of the unspoken rules among its female artists is to handle it coldly, without explanation or response. The main reason is that the evidence is irrefutable and it is difficult to defend themselves. Fortunately, these female artists are not very popular, and based on past experience, the news will be replaced by other news in a few days.

I don’t know if Zhao Wan’s curse worked, but just when Xingyao Entertainment thought the matter was over, something bigger happened. First, Qiao Yan’s indecent photos were posted online, and the scale of the photos was far greater than that of several female artists before.

Then, news spread online that female artist Qiao Fei had an affair with a married man and was beaten up by his ex-wife. The news was accompanied by high-definition pictures. In the pictures, Qiao Fei's clothes were torn, her hair was messy, and there were marks of beating on her face.

The two pieces of news came out one after another, leaving netizens stunned. Wow, they thought the previous news were big enough, but they didn’t expect the finale was waiting here.

Qian Muchue has been paying attention to the affairs of Xingyao Entertainment, so as soon as the news about Qiao Yan came out, Huang Qingqing immediately told her. Huang Qingqing knew that Qiao Yan was Qian Muchue's previous assistant and was fired at that time. In her opinion, it must be Qiao Yan's problem.

Because Huang Qingqing notified her in time, when Qian Muchue read the news, these two news items had not yet been removed by Xingyao Entertainment. Qian Muchue first read the news about Qiao Yan being beaten. To be honest, it was a bit unexpected for her to see such a smart person like Qiao Yan fall into the gutter.

Seeing Qiao Yan's indecent photos again, Qian Muchue's expression was indescribable. Such a private photo was obviously taken by a man. With Qiao Yan's brain, she would not be able to take such a photo unless she was very sure that the photo would not be leaked. At the same time, Gong Chen saw the strange expression on Qian Muchue's face and curiously stretched his head to look at the screen of her mobile phone.

Fortunately, Qian Muchue was quick-witted and the moment she saw her man's head leaning towards her, she reached out and covered his eyes.

"You can't look at it, you can't look at it, or you'll get stye." Qian Muchue said while covering Gong Chen's eyes.

She couldn't let Gong Chen see other women's private photos. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have suffered a great loss. Gong Chen, whose eyes were covered by Qian Muchue's little hands, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

His wife usually looks very smart, but sometimes she can be silly and cute. If she just turns off the screen of her phone, he won't be able to see it. Why would she go to so much trouble to cover his eyes?

"Since it will cause stye, why don't you turn it off?" Gong Chen joked with a smile.

Qian Muchue thought so too, and closed the webpage on her mobile phone with one hand, then let go of the hand that was covering Gong Chen's eyes. Before she could take her hand back, Gong Chen raised his hand and grabbed her wrist with a little force. The next second, Qian Muchue threw herself into Gong Chen's arms.

"Well, tell me the truth. What did you see that could cause stye?" Gong Chen's voice was heard in Qian Muchue's ear.

Well, judging from her tone, her husband wouldn't think that she had watched something unhealthy. By the way, the content just now was a bit unhealthy and should be blurred.

Qian Muchue was about to explain when Lightbulb No. 1 interrupted the couple's conversation. The little fat boy escaped from his sister's clutches again and ran to find his parents.

"Dad, hold me, hold me, I want it, hehe." The little fat boy grabbed his father's trouser leg and blurted out words one by one, which did not affect what he wanted to express at all.

As usual, the little fat boy appeared, and the next second, Qian Xiaoya and Tang Bao would come over. Gong Chen rubbed his brows and sighed inwardly. Although the little babies felt soft in his arms, he still wanted to hug his wife more.

The public relations department of Xingyao Entertainment Company was extremely busy. One crisis followed another. Qiao Yan was called to the company before she had time to go to the hospital to deal with it. Things developed too quickly. Qiao Yan was beaten and it was reported on the news. Even the staff of Xingyao Entertainment only found out about it after seeing the news. Judging from the speed of the news reports, it was obvious that this incident was premeditated.

When Qiao Yan arrived at the company, she was still emotionally unstable. Although her assistant had helped her deal with some simple treatment in the car, she still looked very miserable, with a red and swollen face and obvious slap marks.

Qiao Yan didn't feel any physical pain, but what made her upset was that the old woman who had just beaten her brought seven or eight helpers and blocked her in the parking lot. The old woman beat and scolded her, and there were several cameras nearby filming her.

The other side had more people, and Qiao Yan and her assistant, two women, were no match at all. In this situation, Qiao Yan could only avoid the camera as much as possible and prevent the camera from capturing her face. But the other side just wanted to expose her, so how could she possibly hide away?

After waiting for a long time for the security guard to arrive and the old woman took her people away, Qiao Yan didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before she received a call from the company asking her to return immediately. The other party's tone was serious, and Qiao Yan had a bad feeling at the time.

The first thing she did was to open the webpage on her phone. She didn't even need to search for keywords, as she was the first on the hot search list. Qiao Yan's mind went blank and she clicked on it with trembling hands. Even though she had a strong mental endurance, when she saw those photos, Qiao Yan felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Before she even arrived at the company, the news of her being beaten was exposed. Sitting in the car and seeing this, Qiao Yan knew that it was the old woman who wanted to kill her. This was all planned by the old woman for a long time.

Seeing her private photos leaked, Qiao Yan had already guessed who the old woman was. Such photos could only be in the hands of that bastard Wu Qiangzhong. It was impossible for Wu Qiangzhong to post them online. It could only be that the old woman in his family saw the photos in the mobile phone and leaked them out.
