Ji Juntao rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking? Do I look like someone who's so easily swayed?"
Shang Yechu waved her hand, and asked warily, "What exactly happened?"
Ji Juntao rolled down the car window a crack, letting the autumn breeze in. The air inside the car felt much fresher. Only then did he speak.
"Didn't I say I had good news and bad news?" Ji Juntao scratched his head, annoyed. "The good news and the bad news are actually the same thing."
Shang Yechu adopted a listening posture: "Speak like a human being."
"Shi Shan has a nickname, 'Theatrical Madman,' you know that, right?"
Shang Yechu nodded. Shi Shan was a top-tier male star with immense fame. He was virtually unmatched in the television drama industry. Shang Yechu had, of course, heard of him.
Ji Juntao showed a disgusted expression: "Some celebrities' 'crazy actor' persona is just marketing; they even brag about going into the water. Shi Shan is different; 80% of his nickname is true."
Ji Juntao didn't conceal his emotions. Shang Yechu easily caught the other's disgust and felt somewhat confused. This was the first time Ji Juntao had shown such obvious likes and dislikes.
"Isn't being dedicated a good thing?" Shang Yechu retorted. "You'll behave yourself when you're acting opposite actors like Li Yi and Su Ge."
Ji Juntao glared at Shang Yechu with exasperation: "Take your brain out from under the car seat and use it—can ordinary dedication be called 'crazy'?"
Shang Yechu: "..."
"I'll just tell you the truth." Ji Juntao took out his phone, pointed and tapped on the screen, and tossed it to Shang Yechu. "See for yourself."
The screen displayed Shi Shan's encyclopedia information. Shang Yechu scrolled through it but didn't notice anything unusual.
"What's wrong?" Shang Yechu asked.
Ji Juntao coldly said, "To date, Shi Shan has had seven ex-girlfriends. They are Lin Yin, An Ran, Huang Zhiwei, Xie Lu, Zhang Xianghe, Wang Miyun..."
With each name Ji Juntao uttered, Shang Yechu's eyes widened, until by the end, they were wide open.
"These are all actresses he's worked with," Shang Yechu said, flipping through Shi Shan's list of works. "Does he like to develop relationships with his co-stars?"
Ji Juntao remained silent.
Shang Yechu was increasingly shocked as she read: "Wang Miyun actually had an affair with Shi Shan? I've never heard of this before. And Lin Yin—didn't Lin Yin get married ten years ago? She even took her child on a parenting reality show!"
Ji Juntao said coolly, "Wang Miyun's agent spent money to suppress the matter. Lin Yin's husband not only knew about it, but also treated Shi Shan to a meal to thank him for saving his precarious marriage."
Shang Yechu: ...
Comedians are often isolated within the industry, which is very small. Furthermore, in her previous life, due to her appearance and intelligence, Shang Yechu rarely had anyone to share gossip with. Therefore, although she knew the entertainment industry was rife with corruption, such open relationships still shocked Shang Yechu considerably.
Shang Yechu understood: "I know. Shi Shan likes to be a couple with people on set. Is that why you guessed I might have a chance?"
“It would be fine if they were a married couple on set,” Ji Juntao said coolly. “People have needs, you know. Filming isolates you from the world for months, so it’s not shameful for them to get together and take care of their physical needs…”
