After watching the video posted by the marketing account, netizens had mixed reactions:
"I never expected Shi Xi's house to collapse, Master Qingwu."
"The video doesn't seem like anything special, just some ordinary friends having a meal. Are there any more intimate videos?"
"When her decent boyfriend's company fell into trouble, Shi Xi hooked up with a big shot in the blink of an eye. She's really something."
"Is this considered proof?"
"..."
Without concrete evidence, fans won't leave the fandom.
The topic was quickly deleted.
It was as if it had never happened.
Douban Group:
[The topic was deleted immediately; does this person have connections?]
[She was always a resource-driven person. She relied on a sugar daddy before, but now that he's gone, she's hooked up with another big shot. I have to say, she has a good eye for men; this big shot is willing to promote her.]
[Hilarious! Shi Xi is a "resource-backed actress"? She only acts in Kuai Xue's self-produced dramas, and no one in any major industry wants to associate with her. What resources does she have??]
[Even though it wasn't explicitly stated that it was Shi Xi, the fans rushed in to claim her as their own. (chuckles)]
[...]
The unfounded rumors did not have a significant impact on Shi Xi.
After all, the leaked video can only prove that Shi Xi had a close relationship with the two men, but it cannot prove that Shi Xi was two-timing them.
There isn't even a video of them holding hands.
Zhu Lin scrolled through the square, puzzled, and said, "These people are so boring, all they do is stare at you all day long."
Shi Xi was applying nail polish when she said, "Stop looking, wasn't the trending topic already taken down?"
"I'll keep an eye on the square and Douban." Zhu Lin was refreshing the page when she received another message: "Mr. Tao's assistant said that the trending topic has been removed."
Shi Xi gave a perfunctory "Mhm".
Zhu Lin poked her gossipy little head out and asked, "Xi Xi, why is Mr. Tao so nice to you?"
“I don’t know either. He said he was instructed by Rui’an.” Shi Xi seemed thoughtful but couldn’t figure it out. “Whatever, there’s always a way out.”
Zhu Lin asked cautiously, "Aren't you afraid that President Xie will be jealous?"
"What's there to be jealous about?" Shi Xi asked in surprise. "He's an elder."
“Mr. Tao is a man too. I always felt there was something strange about the way he looked at you,” Zhu Lin tried her best to describe it: “It was that kind of look where he wanted to please you, but was also afraid of upsetting you—”
"Aren't you overthinking it?" Shi Xi interrupted after applying her nail polish, "Take a look at my upcoming schedule."
“You’ve dyed your hair too many times before, so you need to get it treated this afternoon…and rest tonight.” Zhu Lin refreshed her phone and said, “Wow, Mr. Xie has a press conference tonight.”
Shi Xi asked in confusion, "What press conference?"
Zhu Lin clicked on the pop-up page and showed it to Shi Xi: "It looks like some kind of new energy vehicle launch event, take a look."
Shi Xi dried her hands, glanced at the place, and said, "It's very close to where we get our hair done. We can go check it out when we're done."
Zhu Lin put away her phone, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll pack my things first, let's go get our hair done early."
Shi Xi dried her hands, then looked at her hair and muttered to herself, "Such beautiful hair doesn't need any care at all."
Zhu Lin is too strict.
When they arrived at the hair salon, Tony washed and dried Shi Xi's hair, praising, "Your hair is in great condition; it doesn't need any treatment at all."
Zhu Lin: "She had dyed her hair many times before, and had the most expensive and best treatments."
Shi Xi: ...Pink tax for female celebrities.
They spend far more money on their hair than male celebrities.
"Let's listen to her. Show me the color chart again, I want to see what color to dye it." Shi Xi raised her hand.
