Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 1071 - 617: Two Toasts to You (Part 3)

"Don’t feel cheated. You just shoot a video, don’t need to do anything, don’t need to bear any risk, and earn eight thousand easily." Lin Xiaomiao checked the video transferred by the other party and directly transferred the money on the spot, saying, "Unlike us, when this thing is released, we still have to face the risk of being sued."

"Yeah, yeah."

The phone chimed, indicating the transfer had been received.

The person didn’t linger, nodded, and turned around stealthily to leave.

Lin Xiaomiao watched the person’s back and snorted with laughter.

She waved to a car parked at the street corner, and it immediately started, drove over, and stopped in front of Lin Xiaomiao.

Lin Xiaomiao got into the car and let out a long breath.

"It’s freezing, alright, tonight’s going to be a long night, let’s get to work, and have an extra chicken leg tomorrow!"

The people in the car had no complaints, all cheering.

They make a living through hard work.

...

Zhou Yun hadn’t reached the hotel when Song Chi’s call came through.

Once Zhou Yun saw Song Chi’s name displayed on the caller ID, she immediately knew why he was calling.

She answered the call and said, "Don’t apologize, and don’t worry about my mood. I’ve already adjusted."

Song Chi was left speechless by Zhou Yun, unable to speak.

Silence ensued.

"You leave me with nothing to say," Song Chi replied helplessly.

Zhou Yun: "I knew someone would tip you off."

"Don’t mention it. Hearing about this made me really upset," Song Chi said exasperatedly. "As soon as I left, they caused this trouble, and it involved you. I’ve already told Wu Chengbao that the person who spoke rudely to you tonight won’t be collaborating with our company anymore, and I won’t work with them either."

Zhou Yun murmured her acknowledgment.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that. Don’t let it weigh on your mind. This isn’t a big deal," Zhou Yun said. "I didn’t say those things because of this incident. I know many people gossip behind our backs, about you, about me, it’s all there. I just thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to say something, thinking that most people would hear me out, right? Just let others spread rumors and believe them."

Song Chi: "Xiao Yun, you don’t need to explain so much to them. I trust you, and this is between us. It’s enough that we trust each other."

"No," Zhou Yun said. "Besides the online stuff, most of the people who came tonight are from your company or from the ’Mother’ production, all having working relationships with you. Letting rumors spread affects you and your company negatively."

"It’s nothing."

"I think it matters," Zhou Yun said. "I don’t want you to be talked about behind your back about all sorts of things."

"No matter how much we explain, we can’t stop some people."

"But at least we must bring those who can discern right from wrong to our side," Zhou Yun said. "If we don’t explain, those people will gradually be influenced by the rumor-mongers."

Song Chi laughed.

"Why is your temper still so fiery? I remember not long ago, I praised you for being a lot more composed."

"That’s because some things no longer bother me. I don’t get worked up as much, but this is different," Zhou Yun said.

At this point, the car stopped.

Zheng Xiaojue in the front passenger seat turned around, whispering, "Sister Xiao Yun, we’ve arrived."

Zhou Yun then got out of the car, continuing her call with Song Chi while heading into the hotel.

"Have you reached the hotel?" Song Chi asked.

"Mm," Zhou Yun replied. "How about you?"

"I’ve got a long way to go yet, I’m going to take a nap in the car," Song Chi said. "Just hang in there, maybe after a year or two it’ll get better."

"We can only deceive ourselves like this."

"How can this be self-deception?" Song Chi said. "We won’t be this busy forever, right?"
