Chapter 1835 - Scandal of the Huo Corporation (6)
“Issue a press release saying that Mo Xue’er was doing drugs on her own. She is now on leave and whatever she did or does is unrelated to the company…”
“Understood.”
An hour later, Huo Corporation’s PR department issued a press release.
The press release was well-drafted and anyone could easily tell that a huge team was behind it.
The mean message was that Mo Xue’er chose to do drugs and wasn’t influenced by anyone. Neither President Huo nor the Huo Corporation knew anything about it.
They were pushing Mo Xue’er out the door, leaving her no path to re-emerge.
Female artists who hated Mo Xue’er, no matter what their publicity levels were, all came commenting on Mo Xue’er, trying to get some spotlight and attention.
They all criticized Mo Xue’er and exposed her secrets. So much news came forward that it was extremely hard to tell which ones were true and which ones were false.
Jian Tong received the most attention as she was the number one female artist at Imperial Star Entertainment.
When Jian Tong was returning home from eating out that night, she was cornered by countless reporters outside her mansion gates.
She stepped out elegantly of her Wraith – Rolls-Royce in her seven inch high heels.
“Ms. Jian, can you comment on Mo Xue’er’s drug abuse?”
“Sorry but I don’t know Ms. Mo that well. I’m sorry to disappoint you but I have no news to share. I’m not someone who would try to use her to get exposure, whether she’s at the height of her career or in trouble.”
“Ms. Jian, now that Mo Xue’er has so much bad publicity, no one in China’s entertainment industry will surpass your status… What plans does Imperial Star Entertainment has planned for you?”
“Sorry. I don’t know. I just listen to my company’s plans… Thanks…”
Jian Tong was surprisingly treating this situation in a low-key manner and did not try to improve her status or create some sort of story from Mo Xue’er’s situation.
Jian Tong walked passed the reporters and opened her door to go into her house.
Her assistant immediately held her bag and coat for her.
“Tong, I think we can take advantage of this news and get some exposure. We’re missing out on so many opportunities. Why are you being so low-key? Moreover, Mo Xue’er wasn’t that kind to you so it’s only natural that you leak some bad news about her. She’ll never regain her fame again. Didn’t you see how the Huo Corporation already broke all ties with her?”
“You don’t understand anything. I don’t want to be high-profile right now… Haven’t you heard that nonconformity gets punished? Also, President Su doesn’t like high profile women…”
Jian Tong quickly went upstairs, leaving her assistant speechless. From the looks of it, Ms. Jian did not give up on her affection towards President Su.
– The next morning –
Huo Mian woke up from her dreams, still dazed from her night’s sleep.
Qin Chu gave her a deep kiss on the forehead…
Last night, the two made intense love… Huo Mian felt like her stamina decreased ever since she gave birth to the twins.
Her back hurt so much that she couldn’t get out of bed.
“President Huo, get up… You have to go to work.”
“President Nick, are you trying to squeeze every ounce of energy out of your subordinate?” Huo Mian smiled gently.
“I’m not trying to squeeze the energy out of my subordinate. You view too highly of me. Right now, I’m only a stay-at-home-dad who lives off of my wife. My job is to give my wife massages and prepare food for my kids.”
“Fine, you win, Mr. Qin.”
Huo Mian knew that Qin Chu cherished their time together very much.
She got up and suddenly asked with a laugh, “How much did the Huo Corporation’s stocks drop by this morning?”
“7% but it’s still declining.”
“Perfect… Let’s see if Huo Siqian can still keep this cool…” It was her and Qin Chu’s first retaliation against him and Huo Mian felt a great sense of pleasure.
She hated seeing that confident smirk on Huo Siqian’s face.
“There’s no rush… This is only the start… He’ll look worse…” Qin Chu smiled.
The one who could smile to the very last moment is the winner…
Huo Mian thought that the emperor-like man that she loved deeply had come back…
“Hey, don’t look at me like that. I can’t take it,” Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian gently and slowly approached her.
