Gu Jingze walked inside while mumbling, “Yu Minmin…”

In no time, he returned to Lin Che’s room. She did not even dare to look at Gu Jingze and kept evading his gaze.

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and asked, “On that day, why did you and your manager go to the hotel that Big Brother was staying at?”

Lin Che raised her head and paused before saying, “Oh, you’re talking about that day. It was Gu Jingyu’s treat that day. Everyone went to celebrate together after the closing party. I brought Sister Yu along with me. Gu Jingyu brought us there because that hotel is run by the Gu family. Who knew that Mr. President went there too?”

Gu Jingze sat down in deep thought.

Everything looked like it happened naturally. It was probably not some conspiracy. The reason Yu Minmin appeared there was even because of the third youngest brother of their own family.

Furthermore, since Yu Minmin’s background had already been thoroughly investigated, it was probably proof that there was no big problem. It could not be an act of espionage.

But was Yu Minmin really not involved?

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze perplexedly, “Why did you start asking about this all of a sudden?”

Gu Jingze raised his head and smiled. “It’s nothing; go to sleep.”

“Okay.”

Because he did not talk about it, Lin Che did not shoot her mouth off and ask him.

The next day.

The television series was already midway through its broadcast. Lin Che’s character was becoming more and more pitiful.

A fair number of people came to Lin Che’s Weibo page to vent their emotions.

A lot of people felt that the character Chen Yihan, which Lin Che played, was really having a very difficult time. She was considerate of others in every aspect, was easygoing and dashing, and never dragged things out no matter what she did. However, she turned out to get hurt in the end each time.

In comparison, because the cruel events of late were all happening to Lin Che, all of the attention on the female lead had decreased drastically.

Outside, people were starting to sensationalize and smear mud on Lin Che’s name. They said that Lin Che was going to win the competition against the female lead and become the person who benefited most from this television series.

Fortunately, on Mu Feiran’s end, they pretended that this had not happened and made no response at all either. On the contrary, a sizable number of Mu Feiran’s fans came to curse at Lin Che for no reason. As she looked at these comments she was also slightly agitated.

“It’s seriously weird. All of these things were written by the screenwriter. It has nothing to do with me. It’s just because the important events in the plot recently are related to me. Ultimately, I’m still just a supporting role. Why did they all come to curse at me?” Lin Che complained to Yu Minmin while they were on their way to attend a promotional activity.

Yu Minmin looked at the documents in her hands. Since she had more experience, her reaction to things like this was a lot calmer than Lin Che’s. Of course, she was not the one getting cursed at and she, in fact, did not get agitated as easily as Lin Che did.

“With everyone in the same production, it’s inevitable that there’ll be someone who hates to see you receive good reviews and will intentionally smear mud on your reputation. However, it’s also not easy to investigate who it is. Everyone is a competitor so it could be anyone. Investigating it will be of no damn use either.”

Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che, “Anyway, just remember this. If you yourself become famous, that will be the greatest blow to your opponents.”

Lin Che nodded. “I understand, Sister Yu.”

Very soon after, they arrived at the event venue.

This was a talk show. The chief creators took this promotional activity very seriously because Mu Feiran was coming today as well. They hoped that Mu Feiran and Gu Jingyu would become a hot topic, so they specifically arranged for Lin Che to go up on stage only later so she would not steal screentime from the female lead.

Lin Che looked at Mu Feiran and Gu Jingyu sitting together. When it came to work, the two of them were still very professional. They flirted with one another and really played their parts.

Mu Feiran also proved herself to be a veteran. On stage, she appeared very relaxed and carried the flow of the program very well too.

Right at this moment, Lin Li walked over to her from behind. She looked in front, snickered, and said, “Why did I hear that you’re about to be suppressed?”

Lin Che rolled her eyes and turned her head. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Lin Li looked at her with a face full of innocence. “Why? Isn’t that the case? I definitely heard that you insisted on generating hype with Gu Jingyu because you wanted to get famous. Ultimately, the attention on you nearly suppressed the attention Mu Feiran got, so you offended Mu Feiran. Lin Che, I must say that you’re too eager for quick success and instant benefits. Among these people who’ve been in the industry for long, which one of them doesn’t have some backing? And which one of them doesn’t have more tricks than you? Still, you insist on putting yourself above the female lead and the supporting roles in a television series? Can’t you just properly play your supporting role?”

Lin Che glared at Lin Li. She looked at her evil gaze and smiled coldly. “You really know it so clearly.”

Lin Li snickered. “Didn’t you see? Even Mu Feiran didn’t want you to generate hype with Gu Jingyu today. She intentionally separated the two of you for the purpose of the interviews.”

Lin Che glared at her. She then saw Mu Feiran coming down.

Lin Li rushed forward to welcome her.

“Sister Feiran, you completed your earlier interview so well. Our company repeatedly instructed me to learn from you. They said that Sister Feiran is truly capable and even knows particularly well how to deal with reporters.”

Mu Feiran smiled faintly. “Honestly, I’m not. You’re being too polite.”

Seeing that Mu Feiran was talking to her, Lin Li quickly smiled. She turned back to glare at Lin Che before moving even closer to curry favor with Mu Feiran.

Lin Che only felt that she had enough of Lin Li. She glanced at her and did not speak.

Then, Mu Feiran noticed Lin Che. She smiled as she walked over and said, “Lin Che, I didn’t see you earlier.”

Lin Che quickly smiled. “Really? I was sitting here all along.”

Mu Feiran walked over and said warmly to Lin Che, “You performed pretty well in this television series. I think you’re quite suited to play gallant roles like these.”

“Thank you for your compliment, Sister Feiran.”

“Really, your performance was very natural.”

“If Sister Feiran compliments me even more, my face will turn completely red.”

At this moment, the reporters caught the two of them chatting enthusiastically and quickly took pictures of them from afar.

Mu Feiran said, “Gu Jingyu has only ever complimented very few people. Earlier, he kept praising you. Tsk, tsk. Lin Che, you’re probably one of the few people he looks at.”

“He… his taste is so bad. Should I reflect on myself?”

Mu Feiran began to laugh out loud.

Lin Li looked on from behind and was furious.

Just like this, Mu Feiran left her hanging dry here. However, she herself had gone directly to start chatting with Lin Che.

Sure enough, news of this was released the next day. It stated that Mu Feiran was chatting enthusiastically with Lin Che, dispelling the rumors that they were not on good terms.

Mu Feiran also publicly admitted that she felt that Lin Che was a very real and very simple-minded girl.

And in the headlining photo, Lin Che and Mu Feiran were standing close to one another. At the back, Lin Li was completely reduced to a background figure.

Upon seeing the headline, Lin Li was so angry that she nearly threw the tablet computer onto the ground.

“Do these reporters have brains?!”

On the other hand, Yu Minmin looked at the news and said to Lin Che who was still in the car, “The reason why Mu Feiran can support you is probably because of Gu Jingyu.”

Lin Che said, “But why did she help me?”

“First of all, she probably doesn’t hate you. Otherwise, she could have just rested on her laurels and simply let the outside world speculate. There’s no need for her to waste her energy. You can tell that she still quite likes you from the fact that she was willing to help you. Secondly, she’s originally not a person who likes to stir up trouble. Furthermore, she’s an intelligent person. She won’t allow others to make use of her for no reason. This time, it was obvious that someone was using her to taint your reputation so of course, she wasn’t happy.”

Lin Che nodded her head in understanding.
