Chapter 75
Tang Kerong started to lose her temper as soon as she finished work and scolded Meng Tong who had stolen all the limelight today.
The four life assistants nearby had no choice but to bear it. One of them handed hot water to Tang Kerong, but when he saw Tang Kerong swearing, his hands started shaking and he accidentally spilled the water, dripping all over Tang Kerong's body.
"What are you doing? Do you want to burn me to death? What's the point of keeping you here? You've been with me for so long and you can't even do such a small thing?" Tang Kerong's pent-up anger burst out directly, and he pointed at the assistant's nose and scolded him, "If it weren't for me, do you think you could still live such a good life? If you make such a low-level mistake again, just leave!"
The assistant's eyes turned red from being scolded. If it were normal, she would just endure it silently and let the other party calm down.
But something happened in her family recently, and Tang Kerong still wouldn't allow her to take leave. All her emotions were mixed together, and her nose felt sore and she started sobbing.
However, Tang Kerong did not give up. She was used to being served and naturally treated these people as her own maids. It was normal for her to let others wash her underwear.
He kept scolding for more than half an hour until Zhang Xiuming came to visit the set.
"Kerong, what happened?" Zhang Xiuming couldn't help asking when he saw the assistant next to him crying.
Tang Kerong calmed down a lot, "It's nothing, something happened, she cried because she felt guilty."
"How's work going these days?"
"It's okay, Xiuming, let's go home." Tang Kerong took out a mirror, put on some lipstick, and walked out the door.
"Wait."
Zhang Xiuming looked around and finally found a pack of tissues. He took out a tissue and handed it to his assistant Xiao K, whose face was red from crying. He said softly:
"Don't cry. Thank you very much for taking care of Kerong during this time."
The assistant was stunned at first, hesitated for a few seconds, and then took the tissue from the other party. He stared at the clean white paper in his hand with dull eyes. When he raised his head, he saw the other party's gentle smile. The assistant was stunned for a moment, and then looked away.
At that moment she felt a little comforted, but also felt a huge sense of guilt.
"Xiuming, why haven't you come yet? I'm hungry." Tang Kerong glared at the assistant viciously, then ran over and acted coquettishly towards Zhang Xiuming.
Zhang Xiuming left with a smile.
Although his acting career is over, Tang Kerong is still by his side, and she is still continuing his dream, which is good...
…
The next day, there indeed appeared posts slandering Han Su Yi.
Mo Keyu was about to call someone to delete it, but at this moment a big star came to clarify for her.
When Mo Keyu clicked in to take a look, she saw that Meng Tong had directly denied the false rumor and posted a photo of her and Han Suyi.
No, when did Meng Tong take a photo with Xiao Han?
Also, why is she so nice to her artists? Yesterday, she couldn't even recognize Han Su Yi.
[So why is this?]
Mo Keyu's days are filled with doubts. People are either very nice to her or want to make her successful.
[Maybe it's because of you, the host, because you helped her before. 】
"Ahahaha, it's just a small matter of calling an ambulance. If you put it that way, Meng Tong is not only brave but also quite nice. No wonder she is so famous now."
Mo Keyu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
It's just a piece of cake.
Just when Mo Keyu was about to get off work, he suddenly received a message from Shen Mingli.
Their communication has become more frequent recently, and he usually asks her if she has encountered any problems. Unexpectedly, today the other party sent her a link.
Inside was a censored photo with an exaggerated title written on it: Shocking, Golden Wolf Wu Xiaotian is being kept by a rich woman again!
Mo Keyu recognized her immediately. This rich woman must be her. She quickly sent a message to clarify:
—Shen Mingli, this person is me, but I didn’t do such a thing. I must have been photographed by the paparazzi.
The other party also replied immediately:
-I know.
Mo Keyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was not the kind of person who would mess around outside. She had to maintain her image as a lady in front of the other party!
—Are you free tonight?
—I’m free. What can I do for you?
—See you on the Moon River.
Then there was no news from the other party. Mo Keyu was a little confused. Why did he suddenly ask her out without saying anything clearly? Was he angry?
But Mo Keyu quickly dismissed this idea. They were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship now, so there was nothing to be angry about. Besides, how could Mr. Shen, with his sharp eyes, not be able to see through such exaggerated and rumor-mongering news?
It must be something tense and exciting like a business dispute that requires secret negotiations.
Mo Keyu drove to the variety show recording site. She followed two artists this week. After Wu Xiaotian was done with work, Mo Keyu spent most of her time following Han Suyi.
This is a game interview program, which is broadcast every Friday night during prime time. Each time, it will invite two or three people with high traffic, two or three internet celebrities and third- and fourth-tier stars, and sometimes the leading actors of a drama crew.
This time we invited the crew of the TV drama version of "Orange Blossom".
When Mo Keyu saw this lineup, he couldn't help but sigh that it was a serious sin.
The leading actors of this drama are all closely connected to the public opinion storm of that year.
This Hao Da is the actor who was almost burned by fire during the performance. Tang Kerong is the person behind all these highlights. And Zhang Wei is the person who guided public opinion to direct the conflict towards Zhang Xiuming.
The participants in this incident also include their assistants and agents. Without the perfect cooperation of more than a dozen people, it would be impossible to bring the other party down from the pedestal. After all, Zhang Xiuming was a well-known polite star back then, and he was also doing real social welfare work.
Although his family was wealthy and he was once again a second-generation rich, it had always been his dream to perform in the entertainment industry. However, this dream had been completely destroyed.
Not only that, all his works were removed from the shelves, and he was spurned and scolded by netizens. Perhaps the people who set him up knew the injustice he suffered better than he did.
Several people were assigned to a collective dressing room. Big-name stars are usually surrounded by a group of people and are served in every aspect.
Mo Keyu's side was relatively quiet, so she found a makeup artist for Han Suyi and also a personal assistant.
With the company boss here, Tang Kerong really had no way to deal with him. She secretly checked the background of Baozi Entertainment and found that the boss behind it was a person with some background and seemed to be on good terms with Meng Tong.
Meng Tong is currently in the limelight and no one dares to mess with her. Tang Kerong can only put Han Suyi's matter aside for the time being. They will inevitably have to work together in the future, and if she quarrels too much, it will affect her popularity with passers-by.
But she was always unhappy, and she would vent her anger on the assistants around her from time to time. Xiao K, her assistant who had been with her for many years, asked to resign, and Tang Kerong told him to find a replacement and get out.
The more Little K thought about it, the more depressed she became. Maybe it was because she was about to resign. She was always unable to concentrate on her work. The people around Tang Kerong simply isolated her. Since she was going to resign anyway, they just pretended that she didn't exist.
Mo Keyu was lying in the corner playing games. As long as the artists were not in trouble, she would play by herself.
Everyone in the dressing room started to flatter and gossip. Those people at the back had to go to record a variety show, and the people in the dressing room gradually dispersed. Mo Keyu squinted her eyes while playing, and finally fell asleep. She seemed to hear a man and a woman talking in a daze.
"Brother Xiuming, there is something I want to tell you. You are a good person, but I am sorry for you."
The woman started sobbing as she spoke, and the man did not rush to ask her what was wrong. Instead, he told her not to be sad. As a result, the girl cried even harder.
"I'm sorry, I think it's retribution. Although I've made a lot of money, my father suddenly got cancer and no matter how much money I spend, it can't be cured. I know I'm guilty... I'm sorry."
"Don't be sad, just talk nicely." Zhang Xiuming comforted her patiently.
"Brother Xiuming, the incident in which Hao Da was almost burned by the props had nothing to do with you. It was not you who tampered with the props..."
Zhang Xiuming's hand, which was handing the tissue to the other party, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"Brother Xiuming, it's not you. We all know it's not you, but we all say it's because of you."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiuming trembled all over. He grabbed the other person's shoulders and his voice began to tremble: "What do you mean? What do you mean by saying this?"
"Brother Xiuming, you trusted the wrong people. The ones who really did this were Hao Da and Tang Kerong. They had it easy, but you hindered Hao Da at the time. He was suppressed by you no matter what he did, so he was jealous. Tang Kerong approached you for money," Xiao K cried. "Your family is well-off. When your father knew you were dating Tang Kerong, he saw her purpose and wanted to stop you. When your father was seriously ill, Tang Kerong even threatened your father with your nude photos, and finally angered your father to death."
Zhang Xiuming's face turned pale, his mouth opened and his mind went blank: "Impossible..."
"Brother Xiuming, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I feel better now that I see you're doing well, but if you're still with Tang Kerong, I'm afraid she'll hurt you. Because the capital behind Hao Da collapsed, she had no choice but to find you and want your money, but she was still in contact with Hao Da when she was with you. They even booked a room at the hotel the day before yesterday.
"I will be leaving soon. If I don't tell you now, I'm afraid something bad will happen to you, Xiu Ming. The person who loves me the most in the world has cancer. How could my father, who is so good and healthy, get cancer? I have always been unable to figure out whether the money I earned was not spent cleanly and finally it came back to bite my family. I am sorry to you, Xiu Ming, and other artists, but I had to do this before. I was also blinded by money.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Zhang Xiuming sat paralyzed in the chair, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and the words spoken by his assistant became blurred in his ears.
The assistant was still crying and saying sorry.
[Aaaaaah, it’s so noisy.]
Mo Keyu felt pain in his head and ears. The key point was that the voice was not normal, but sometimes it rose and sometimes fell, and sometimes it was a bit heartbreaking. The crying tone was even more disturbing.
However, she was lying in the corner and these people probably didn't notice her.
As soon as she woke up, the system began to sort out the whole story for her and relieve her grumpiness.
[Oh, so the assistant just decided to tell Zhang Xiuming because he felt guilty?]
[Alas, it is common for people to get sick at an older age. Most people don’t pay attention to their health and don’t have regular checkups. By the time they discover something is wrong, it’s too late.]
[It is said that people who make money in an unscrupulous way will suffer a more miserable fate. Many retributions are not that they will not come, but that the time has not come yet. This little K still has some conscience, but some things have been done. Can an apology make up for the harm done to others? Can an apology bring back to life those who have committed suicide because of losing their dreams?]
[So, Tongzi, don’t do bad things. I think the retribution for those ten or so people is coming soon.]
Just at this moment, there was a noise outside, as if someone was coming.
Assistant Xiao K wiped away the tears from his eyes vigorously, and then wiped them with the paper beside him.
Zhang Xiuming also came back to his senses from his trance, and a voice became clearer and clearer in his ears.
[Fuck, Hao Da came and held Tang Kerong's hand!]
