Approaching the studio, a group of people were already waiting: makeup artists, stylists, and a bunch of assistants. Jiang Hua sighed, wondering if she was being too low-key. She only had one assistant, and if she took leave, she'd be all alone. Other celebrities were always surrounded by seven or eight assistants. She was the only one without anyone.
There seems to be a TV drama crew filming next door; it looks quite lively. She stopped to watch for a while, which is why she's feeling this way now.
The photographer was a middle-aged man with a ponytail, dressed in an artistic, somewhat effeminate style. Jiang Hua had heard others call him Jack; even his name sounded sophisticated. However, the way he looked at people made Jiang Hua very uncomfortable. From the moment she entered, Jack had been staring at her without blinking.
After changing in the dressing room, Jiang Hua emerged, ready for the photoshoot. She wore a snow-white, sexy, floor-length gown, exuding an ethereal beauty. However, her arms and chest were uncovered; the designer had skimped on fabric to highlight the dress's unique features. Jack stared intently at her fair skin and back, demanding she strike various challenging poses.
"One leg propped up on the chair, arms around from behind," Jack instructed tirelessly. No matter how he positioned it, he said it could be better, but none of the arrangements were entirely satisfactory.
Exhausted from all the torment, Jiang Hua was on the verge of exploding with anger. But the man, oblivious to her tact, insisted that this wouldn't do, grinning lecherously as he went over and began to personally instruct her. He clearly wanted close contact, deliberately touching her arm and sometimes even brushing against her thigh. Jiang Hua suppressed her anger and tried her best to avoid him.
However, the more you restrain yourself, the more he takes advantage of you. Seeing that Jiang Hua doesn't resist much, he boldly pretends to casually touch her buttocks and even pinches them. He compliments her in a self-righteous and dashing manner, saying, "Miss Jiang's buttocks are so sexy, and they feel so good to touch, so bouncy."
This touch and pinch completely enraged Jiang Hua. Her buttock injury was still painful and swollen, and now it hurt even more. She was in so much pain that her face contorted. To hell with elasticity! She wanted to yell: I'm injured, it has nothing to do with sexiness.
Because of the bulky clothes she was wearing, she didn't move for the moment, but angrily questioned, "Where are you groping me with your hands? You dare to take advantage of me? Don't you want to live?" Her expression was already fierce.
Unexpectedly, she would be so disrespectful to him and even accuse him to his face. Jack, enraged, said, "Don't make false accusations. You're the one who seduced me. I've seen plenty of women like you." He'd been with countless women, and none of them had ever dared to do anything to him.
Seeing his rude attitude and his audacity in criticizing her, Jiang Hua, disregarding the risk of getting her clothes wet, kicked him hard. This time, the consequences were dire. Jack's groin was struck, and he cried out in pain, bending over to clutch his crotch. His face first turned red, then white, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. That kick was truly merciless.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! That bastard kicked my manhood!" Jack screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Even this didn't appease Jiang Hua. She stormed into the dressing room to change back into her own clothes, and when she came out, she saw the photographer, Jack, still groaning in pain. She walked over to him irritably and said, "I'm not shooting anymore, unless you get a different photographer. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be photographed." Then, burning with anger, she stormed off. She didn't even get into her car; she took a taxi home herself.
A group of people surrounded Jack in the studio, asking him if he needed to go to the hospital. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, it shouldn't be that bad. Help me to a chair to sit for a while."
One of the staff members said anxiously, "What do we do now? They just packed their bags and left, and we can't shoot the cover. How are we going to explain this to our superiors?"
When Jack mentioned buttocks, his eyes flickered and he looked uneasy, but he quickly masked his emotions and, enduring the pain in his crotch, said, "She terminated filming for no reason, which is a breach of contract. She'll be in deep trouble and lose all her money." He actually knew the real reason behind it, but he still shamelessly turned the tables on her.
He did this kind of thing many times, and many people succumbed to his lewd power and suffered in silence. Many newcomers or unknown female celebrities were forced to let him take advantage of them in order to become famous. It seems that he was quite capable, as the magazine stars photographed by him basically became famous.
Many staff members witnessed the incident but dared not speak out. Jack himself knew that female celebrities, to protect their reputations, dared not expose being taken advantage of and could only swallow their anger—a common unspoken rule in the industry. However, this time, he wasn't so lucky. Jiang Hua was no ordinary person; she wouldn't tolerate such a thing.
That evening, Jiang Hua grew increasingly angry. The day's events had left her in a bad mood all day. She hadn't mentioned it to Gu Yiming, not intentionally, but simply because she hadn't had time. Moreover, she had just gone online and seen countless news articles about her. She stared in shock as she read them all. Finally, she understood what had happened.
"How dare you slander me like this and mislead netizens! I'll show you what I'm made of!" Jiang Hua said angrily, throwing down her mouse.
It turns out the photographer spread rumors online, saying that she seduced him, became enraged when he rejected her, breached the contract, and abandoned the project. They had a contract with the magazine, so this was entirely Jiang Hua's personal action that caused the shoot to stop; they would pursue legal action. In other words, they wanted her to pay compensation.
Keyboard warriors these days are something else. A little rumor and they'll automatically conjure up all sorts of stories, not to mention the malicious manipulation, and some might even be paid trolls hired by Jack. Let's see what netizens are saying.
One netizen, nicknamed "Big Brother," commented: "The entertainment industry is in chaos now. Female celebrities will do anything to become famous. They're shameless."
Someone immediately commented: "That's right, I can't stand people like that. When they can't get what they want by sacrificing their looks, they just act like big shots and leave."
Another netizen said: "Why doesn't she just go out and sell herself? She pretends to be innocent on the outside, but inside she's just a high-class prostitute."
This is probably what cyberbullying is all about. Even the most composed person can't stand seeing such hurtful comments. Jiang Hua was so agitated that she immediately notified her agency to prepare for a press conference; she wanted to tell the truth.
The internet is buzzing about it. Gu Yiming isn't in the city right now, so he's unaware of all this. But once she holds her press conference, he'll find out eventually and will definitely stand up for her. However, Jiang Hua doesn't want to trouble him, believing she can handle it herself. So when Gu Yiming called her, she didn't mention it. She just chatted with him casually, about random things.
