Chapter 480: Who Picked Up Eldest Young Master Mu’s Old Shoes?
Whether obviously or subtly, all the comments pointed to everything negative about Li Beinian.
But they weren’t too explicit.
Such a tactic evoked the people’s imagination a whole lot more than being explicit.
Indeed, the comment sites were full of rebuke and accusations.
“Hehe, there had been rumors long ago that she was a kept woman. Eventually, things were clarified when she got together with Eldest Young Master Mu. And now it looks like she’s still a tramp [sticking out tongue].”
“What’s wrong with living on Misty Street? Although it’s not fantastic, it’s far from being a slum?? Such a condescending tone, what sort of luxury property does this editor live in?”
“Indeed, there’s something fishy… [thinking] could it be… she had leveraged on… the unwritten rule… to launch her career… it is possible…”
…
Having read these comments, Li Beinian snorted.
But unexpectedly, there was a follow-up:
“I’m quite sure she was kept by Eldest Young Master Mu. By the time he was gifting the roses, they were already at the point of getting married. It’s been said they had a fight and broke up, so why does she still have this many resources?”
“Mr. Moneybags has changed, I guess. Even my friend, who’s in the circle, says that Li Beinian is a strange person. Previously, when they were filming ‘Nine Spies,’ it seemed that she had tried to seduce the male lead Liu Qingquan, but things ended unhappily.”
“Wow, is this woman such a Cassanova? So indecisive. It’s no wonder Eldest Young Master Mu dumped her. Awesome!”
“So, right after Eldest Young Master Mu dumped her, she was onto the next person? Smart woman…”
“I wonder who picked Up Eldest Young Master Mu’s Old Shoes?”
…
With people catching on, it didn’t take long for a new story to form, of Li Beinian being dumped by Mu Donglin. And that she was now well-resourced still because she was willing to sell her own body.
Li Beinian knew that she shouldn’t mind such comments. However, anyone in her shoes, who had worked so hard only to be criticized in this manner eventually, wouldn’t feel good about it.
She clicked on the various private messages that had come in. Apart from the confessions and condolences from fans, there were also messages of doubts and abuse.
She switched her cell phone off. As she looked up, she saw the silhouette of a slightly plump man walking towards her.
She smiled and greeted him, “CEO Yang.”
CEO Yang was the person who had negotiated the advertisement contract with Bo Chengcheng.
CEO Yang looked like a man of integrity, and when he smiled, there was an air of kindness and gentleness about him. He said as he came up to her, “Miss Li indeed does not disappoint. The advertisement looks great.”
“You’re too kind, CEO Yang.”
“Haha, not at all.” CEO Yang grinned and said, “You’re the spokesperson for the Xia Nation branch company. There’s a charity auction tonight. Come with me as my function partner. It’s also a chance for you to network. You’re young, you’ll have many opportunities in the future.”
Cheng Su walked in holding a glass of water and greeted, “How do you do, CEO Yang.”
As he spoke, he held the glass out to Li Beinian. “Let me get you a glass of water.”
“Nah, it’s ok,” CEO said with a wave of his hand. Turning to Li Beinian, he reminded her, “The function starts at 6 pm, I’ve already got someone to prepare you a gown. We’ll leave in a bit.”
Li Beinian was slightly taken aback and said, “This is quite sudden. Is it really appropriate for me to go?”
“Of course.” CEO Yang nodded. “I’m the principal for Chantal, and you’re the spokesperson for Chantal, it can’t get any more appropriate for us to attend this function together. These sorts of events can only do you good, there are no disadvantages. It’s good for you to widen your network, and this is an opportunity.”
…
Li Beinian called Bo Chengcheng to consult her. Bo Chengcheng hesitated for a moment and said, “Just go. CEO Yang is right, this is an opportunity. Getting the exposure now will be beneficial for your future.” She paused, then continued, “You don’t have to worry about CEO Yang, he’s quite a good person.”
