Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Raising a Star (8)

Smash—

The cell phone crashed against the wall, fell to the floor, and its screen shattered.

But the phone was still stubbornly alive.

The content displayed was frozen on that ambiguous photo.

Chu Anyang’s face darkened.

His personal assistant stood by his side, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

“Where did this photo come from?” he and Jian Dan were always extremely cautious when they went out, never allowing anyone to see them.

The account that leaked the information was a burner account.

It wasn’t even verified.

“President Chu…” his personal assistant was well aware of Chu Anyang’s affairs, “This photo definitely wasn’t taken by the paparazzi, the only one who could have taken such a photo…

The personal assistant didn’t say the name out loud.

But Chu Anyang understood.

Chi Chuzheng.

Only she could have had the chance to take such a photo.

Chu Anyang remembered, on that day she indeed had come over… because there were reporters outside, and in order not to let the reporters spot Jian Dan, he had called over Chi Chuzheng, who happened to be there.

Well played, Chi Chuzheng.

Setting him up like this.

“Suppress this news for me, I don’t want even the slightest rumor to spread,” Chu Anyang instructed his personal assistant.

“Yes, President Chu.”

The personal assistant hurried off to make arrangements.

Chu Anyang didn’t know whether Chuzheng had any clearer photos in her possession.

So, Chu Anyang didn’t dare to take the risk, he had to retract her piece of news as well.

–

“Did you post that photo?”

Lan Ling was driving and asked Chuzheng, who was in the passenger seat.

“What photo?” Chuzheng posed with an ‘I, the big boss, know nothing’ attitude.

“That photo of Chu Anyang,” Lan Ling said, “Did you do it?”

“No.”

The resolute and swift agent glanced at her and with parted red lips said, “Chu Anyang seems to be very afraid of that news spreading. As a public figure, he isn’t afraid of scandals. Even when he was with you, there were quite a few rumors, but he’s so anxious this time… Has he really cheated?”

Although Chu Anyang was not from the circle,

he was in the entertainment industry and needed to uphold a certain public image.

Chu Anyang was not the playboy type, so if he really cheated, it would mean the collapse of his public persona.

“Don’t know.”

Chuzheng’s answers to this matter were standard: “No, none, don’t know.”

She even kept a poker face.

Thus, even Lan Ling, the capable agent skilled at reading people, was a bit unsure whether her response was genuine.

She remembered…

Chi Chuzheng was supposed to have a gentle public image, wasn’t she?

In reality, was she this aloof?

“This apartment has excellent security.” Lan Ling was taking Chuzheng to see an apartment, “Take a look, if you like it here, I’ll arrange for you to move in.”

The apartment was fully furnished and ready to move in.

The environment was indeed nice.

“Are you satisfied?”

“Yes.”

Just as Lan Ling was about to contact someone to close the deal, a card suddenly appeared in front of her.

Lan Ling looked at Chuzheng, puzzled.

The girl handing over the card said with an unequivocal tone, “Buy.”

Lan Ling: “…”

Once the apartment issue was settled, Lan Ling had people move Chuzheng’s things over, and she also brought a little assistant.

The little assistant had a fair and tender look, with a naive and adorable smile.

Chuzheng was skeptical—

“Are you even five feet tall?”

The little assistant said in a soft and sweet voice, “Sister Chuzheng, I’m five feet and a fraction.”

Chuzheng: “…”

Is there even a difference?!

“Liang Xi will be following you from now on, just give her your orders if you need anything.”

Chuzheng was doubtful: With those tiny arms and legs, she couldn’t even throw a punch, could she?

[…] You came to be my assistant, and yet you’re thinking of making someone fight? Are you a devil, Miss Sister?

“I’m leaving now.”

“Take care, Sister Lan.” The little assistant waved to Lan Ling.

After Lan Ling left, Chuzheng circled the little assistant expressionlessly twice.

The little assistant suddenly felt uneasy.

However, Chuzheng just circled twice and then walked away…away…

The little assistant scratched her head, “Sister Chuzheng, do you have anything you want me to do?”

“No.”

“Oh.”

The little assistant looked around and began to tidy up the apartment on her own initiative.

Chuzheng sat on the sofa, initially sitting up straight, but as time ticked by, she started to slouch more and more, leaning against the arm of the sofa.

In the end… Chuzheng gave up and lay down completely.

The little assistant didn’t think much of it.

She busied herself cleaning the whole apartment.

Chuzheng felt like her apartment was shining.

“Hu…” The little assistant smiled shyly, “Sister Chuzheng, are you hungry?”

“…Not really.”

“Then I’ll cook for you,” said the little assistant. “Do you have any dietary restrictions?”

Chuzheng shook her head.

The little assistant scurried off.

Chuzheng took out her phone to message Lan Ling.

Chuzheng: Is the assistant you found hyperactive?

Lan Ling: ??

Chuzheng: She hasn’t stopped since she came in.

If this isn’t ADHD, what is?

Lan Ling: She just has a lot of energy. Liang Xi is very obedient, you can trust her. If we weren’t short-staffed, I wouldn’t even be willing to let you use her.

Chuzheng felt something was off as she read Lan Ling’s message.

But it didn’t seem to have any problems either.

She stuffed her phone under her and continued watching TV on the couch.

Liang Xi worked fast. Before Chuzheng had finished watching an episode of the melodrama about love and ethics, Liang Xi called her to eat.

Since she got the hyperactive assistant Liang Xi, Chuzheng found things more hassle-free for herself.

If only she could help her waste money, this assistant would be perfect.

Unfortunately…

Liang Xi was a thrifty and good girl.

Every time she saw Chuzheng spending money extravagantly, Liang Xi would have this look like she wanted to say something but dared not to.

Give her money to buy something, and she’d bring you back a good quality, cost-effective item.

Chuzheng: “…” I just want the most expensive one!!

–

“Sister Chuzheng, Sister Lan will come to pick you up at six o’clock tonight,” Liang Xi said while checking her phone and talking to Chuzheng.

“For what?”

“There is an event,” Liang Xi said.

“…”

Since she broke the contract, Chu Anyang had stopped all of her activity notifications, as well as all her acting gigs.

It was unknown in the circle whether Chu Anyang had blacklisted her.

Or if it was out of respect for Chu Anyang’s face, once her popularity waned, nobody approached her.

The last thing a celebrity fears is scandal.

What they fear most is loss of exposure.

If you’re out of the spotlight, people quickly forget who you are.

Lan Ling somehow got her hands on an invitation to the Fanluoya jewelry cocktail party and took Chuzheng with her.

As Lan Ling adjusted Chuzheng’s gown, she said, “The main purpose of Fanluoya’s cocktail party this time is to find an endorser. A lot of celebrities are attending. This is a top-level advertising resource. Whether you can land it or not will depend on tonight.”

Fanluoya jewelry is world-renowned.

Even those first-tier stars would fight tooth and nail for this endorsement.

Chuzheng, although having the reputation of a budding actress.

But to land this endorsement, it would still be a bit difficult.

However, if she could get this advertisement, the negative impact brought by Chu Anyang would instantly dissolve.

Lan Ling was indeed very responsible in planning for her.
