Chapter 87
Shen Tang closed her phone and asked Tao Sister, "This person is a hater. What did you say he was organizing in the group chat?"
Tao Sister looked completely confused: "Huh?"
"No, Little Rui is not a hater."
Shen Tang stroked her chin. Since even Little Rui was brought up, it looked like they must have chatted for a while.
She took the opportunity to ask, "So tell me, what was the purpose of him creating that group?"
Tao Sister started mumbling again, unable to give a clear answer.
Shen Tang was a little worried that Tao Sister was being deceived. After all, even if he was a hater, he wouldn't be able to make too many waves since there were laws to restrict them.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say, then don't say anymore."
Just after she finished speaking, Tao Sister immediately smiled. "Then I won't say."
Shen Tang: "..."
"Just don't let yourself get deceived. Nowadays there are all kinds of crazy scam methods online. Who knows, there might be scammers pretending to be my fans, pulling you into groups and asking you for money."
"That won't happen. Little Rui isn't that kind of person. He even sends us money!"
Shen Tang: "..."
"There's even something that good happening?" Hearing that made her want to join the group even more.
"Yeah, he's your fan. When we go fight the haters, he gives us red packets!"
Shen Tang was a little shocked. "Ha? He really is my fan?"
"Yeah, I already said he's your fan. How could I trick you?" Tao Sister rolled her eyes, but still looked cute doing it.
Shen Tang laughed embarrassedly a couple times. "Okay, I misunderstood..."
But she couldn't fully blame herself either. That fan was just too strange, first sending that kind of message earlier, it was hard not to misunderstand.
Wait a minute, could he be a converted hater? After all, there were quite a lot of fans like that too.
"Do you know his Weibo ID?"
"I know," Tao Sister said warningly, "But it's useless if you ask me, I won't tell you for now."
Shen Tang sighed. Tao Sister was too vigilant.
"Alright alright, I won't ask anymore. Oh right, this is food that Lan Sister gave me. Try some."
"That Lan girl? It's been a while since she came around."
"Tao Sister, you know Lan Sister too?" Shen Tang tilted her head to ask.
Come to think of it, it was normal they knew each other. After all, Gu Huai'an and Lan Sister were friends, although it seemed they didn't really like each other. "I know her. That girl has a bitter fate." Tao Sister didn't say any more, but picked up a small cake to take a bite.
"Hmm, looks like that girl's skills have gotten even better."
Shen Tang also took a big bite. "So yummy, so yummy~"
She had originally wanted to give some to her friends to try too, but looking down, it seemed she didn't have too many left herself. Then maybe...she wouldn't share.
Wait until next time, hehe.
In just a moment, Shen Tang had already convinced herself.
She also wondered if Lan Sister needed introductions to any high-end clients. She could help introduce some.
Oh right, she almost forgot to let Lan Sister know she was doing well.
She sent a WeChat message over, but Lan Sister didn't reply.
Looking at the time, Shen Tang guessed that she was probably with her girlfriend.
Since the miraculous event of her entering this book world happened, then that meant miracles existed. She prayed in her heart for Lan Sister's girlfriend to get better soon!
Time passed quickly. Shen Tang had to get to the filming location again.
Because of the distance, Shen Tang didn't have Yuan Yuan come pick her up. Instead the two would meet directly at the filming location.
Just as she arrived at the entrance to the filming location, she saw the Director smiling while holding a thermal flask and sitting at the entrance.
Shen Tang greeted him, and the Director nodded with a smile. He looked left and right, and seeing no one was paying attention, quickly pulled Shen Tang aside. "Have you heard?"
"Heard what?" Shen Tang was extremely excited. Was there gossip again??
"I heard the fifth male lead started seeing the investor!"
"They're dating?"
"That's right!" The Director's small eyes blinked nonstop. "That man has prospects. He knows to cozy up to a rich and beautiful woman to cling to her coattails to swiftly advance his career!"
Shen Tang supplemented, "Then give her a kick!"
The Director stroked his head. "Uh... maybe not. The Qi family business is huge. Unless he wants to die, he wouldn't do that."
"The Qi family?" Wait a minute, wasn't the investor from the Qi family? Then wasn't this woman with the golden thighs Qi Yue?
Wow, she had accidentally gotten gossip about her own sister.
Wait a minute, what sister doesn't say anything when she starts dating?
She unilaterally declared their friendship over.
Remembering Qi Yue had said she was also coming today, Shen Tang had Yuan Yuan help bring her luggage in, while she herself stood guard at the entrance.
Humph, she was going to get an explanation.
Not long after, Qi Yue's car arrived as well.
Just as Shen Tang went to greet her, she saw a man get out of the car.
He was rather handsome, also tall, but Shen Tang strangely disliked him for some reason, feeling he seemed rather greasy and pretentious.
Seeing the man carefully helping Qi Yue out of the car, Shen Tang said sarcastically, "Oh, if you didn't know better, you'd think some old rich guy was coming. What, after not seeing each other for a while, now you can't even get out of a car yourself?" Qi Yue felt this was inexplicable.
"Eating gunpowder so early in the morning? That's a strong smell of explosives."
"I just discovered--"
"Discovered what?" Qi Yue took the man's arm. "Let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Tang Shuqing."
"Not the fif--nephew? He's your nephew?"
Shen Tang blinked in shock, looking at Tang Shuqing, then at Qi Yue. Looking closely, it did seem they resembled each other a little.
She quickly turned to look at the Director, only to see him looking everywhere except at her, clearly looking very guilty.
Wow, she had taken a bite of fake gossip first thing in the morning!
Shen Tang was a little embarrassed. "Uh...pleased to meet you, big nephew..."
Now looking again, where was any greasiness or pretentiousness?
*Cough* He was clearly an elegant talent.
Tang Shuqing gave a faint smile. "Hello, big sister Shen Tang."
"Hello, big nephew, hello. Um...I didn't prepare any greeting gift, so have this lollipop."
Shen Tang took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it over.
Tang Shuqing didn't disdain it and smiled as he accepted it.
Qi Yue raised her eyebrows. "Why aren't you making sarcastic comments anymore?"
Shen Tang embarrassedly grabbed her arm. "Misunderstanding, all misunderstandings, it's all his fault!"
Shen Tang mercilessly sold out the Director.
As an investor, Qi Yue was quite familiar with the Director and knew what kind of person he was.
"Just listen to what he says and take it with a grain of salt. Eight out of ten things he says are fake."
Shen Tang nodded. Fake gossip was harmful!
She looked at the Director. "Hurry up and honestly explain, where exactly did you hear this news from?"
No smoke without fire. Someone must have said it first for the rumor to have spread. She just didn't know who had such a loose tongue.
Qi Yue was also extremely curious. "Yes, who was the one speaking nonsense? How will I be able to find a boyfriend like this?"
The Director laughed drily. "Uh...I don't know who said it either. I just saw a line online..."
Shen Tang: "..."
"And you actually believed it?"
There wasn't even any evidence. Wasn't this just random slander?
The Director smiled awkwardly and didn't offer any explanations.
Qi Yue's eyes narrowed. "Not right."
"What's not right?"
"You wouldn't have believed it just from a random line online. Hurry and honestly explain, exactly where did you hear it from!"
