On the other side of the city, Lu Xiaomi's apartment seemed shrouded in gloomy darkness.
On the shattered phone screen, the comment, "[I suggest Lu leave the entertainment industry, stop making a fool of himself]," was particularly glaring.
The night wind lifted the curtains, rustling the scattered termination contracts on the floor, as if mocking her misfortune.
The awards ceremony was being replayed on TV, and Zi Xi's elegant figure holding the trophy stung her eyes.
"Why should I?!"
"She's just a nobody extra, and she won an award for her first leading role?!"
Lu Xiaomi suddenly smashed the wine glass against the projection on the wall.
Glass shards flew everywhere, and red wine trickled down the wall like blood.
With trembling hands, she dialed a number: "I want dirt on Zhao Zixi! I'll pay any price!"
"Sister Lu, it's really not about the money..."
"She really is..."
The paparazzi's voice was full of embarrassment.
"If you don't have any, then fabricate dirt on them!!"
"Find extras and say she's being arrogant! Photoshop chat logs and say she engaged in 'sexual favors'! I don't care what methods you use!"
Lu Xiaomi screamed hysterically.
A few days later, a well-known gossip account suddenly broke a bombshell.
[Shocking! A rising movie star surnamed Z allegedly climbed the ladder by sleeping with actresses and bullied crew members on set!]
Although no names were directly mentioned, the comments section immediately erupted.
[Isn't this referring to the person who just won the award?]
[It's hilarious, the award was just won and it was already leaked...]
However, the reversal came faster than expected, with the entire crew of "Heroine" issuing a joint statement.
During our collaboration with Ms. Zixi, she was professional and dedicated, and never engaged in any inappropriate behavior. We will pursue legal action against those spreading rumors.
Even more dramatically, because Lu Xiaomi later regretted paying only half the fee, the furious paparazzi released the recorded phone call.
Lu Xiaomi's instruction to fabricate negative information was clearly identifiable, instantly igniting the entire internet.
[Holy crap! Isn't that LXM's voice?]
[Using your own bad acting skills to frame others? That's incredibly malicious!]
[We recommend a permanent ban on this type of disgraced celebrity!]
The fatal blow came unexpectedly.
A well-known entertainment blogger suddenly posted a set of high-definition surveillance screenshots: [Solid Evidence! The Entire Process of Lu Xiaomi's Meticulous Planning to Frame Zi Xi Exposed!]
The footage clearly shows that on the day Mo Yingdi visited the restaurant, Lu Xiaomi, who was supposed to be on duty, was sneaking around on the street corner, looking in the direction of the restaurant with her phone.
Ironically, the timestamps show that she had just sent a message in the group saying she had a fever and was taking leave, and then she appeared on the street corner, looking energetic and secretly watching what was happening inside.
Netizens quickly uncovered more details.
So, she knew all along that Mo Ge was going out to eat, knew there were paparazzi around, and deliberately had a colleague cover for her?
Isn't LXM framing his colleague? Then he turns around and enters the entertainment industry with a completely innocent reputation!
[This is chilling to think about. Did she plan this all along to frame her colleague?]
The hashtag #LuXiaomiGetOutOfTheEntertainmentIndustry# quickly rose to the top of the trending topics list, with views instantly exceeding 500 million.
Major state media outlets have spoken out, directly criticizing the unhealthy competition and chaos in the entertainment industry.
In the dimly lit apartment, Lu Xiaomi huddled in a corner.
The phone screen kept flashing, and hundreds of new private messages flooded in with each refresh.
[You bitch, just die!]
[You think you're fit to be an actor? Those fans must be starving!]
[I suggest investigating how she obtained the resources!]
