I Am Really Rich - Chapter 14 - Doing Whatever I Want in the Entertainment Circle

Shi Xing stepped out of Wen Xiangling’s room, heading towards the elevator when she suddenly felt something was off.

[Host, according to my monitoring, someone is lurking in the corner over there.]

“I sensed it too.”

Shi Xing paused her hand that was about to press the elevator button and headed towards the stairs. She lifted her skirt slightly and took a detour, approaching from behind. There were two people crouching in the corner, both wearing hoodies, holding cameras and whispering as they compared photos.

[Ah, it’s the paparazzi.]

“Yes, paparazzi indeed.”

Shi Xing smoothed her hair and approached them lightly from behind, cheerfully saying, “Good evening, Mr. Paparazzi.”

The two paparazzi were startled at first, then quickly turned around-

“Ah!!”

A stunning woman stood behind them, blocking them in the corner. Despite her smile, there was something about it that seemed…

Terrifying.

The two paparazzi hurriedly clutched their cameras and pulled their caps down low. After exchanging a glance, they extended their feet, just about to push past Shi Xing and make a run for it-

The stunning woman spoke again.

“If you dare take a step out, I’ll make sure you take the heavenly road.”

Their extended feet retracted immediately.

Shi Xing stood up satisfied, “Alright, now tell me, what are you doing here?”

The two paparazzi exchanged looks, then quickly laughed it off, “Nothing, nothing at all…”

Shi Xing narrowed her eyes.

These paparazzi were definitely not here for her, as her visit was a last-minute decision. They couldn’t be here for Wen Xiangling either. Although Wen Xiangling, as the president of Huashi, was more popular than some top celebrities, his meeting here was only known within Huashi. Even if it leaked, there would be a swarm of paparazzi, not just two.

So, what could possibly be their reason for being here?

“Let me ask you,” Shi Xing raised an eyebrow, “do you know Guan Tian?”

“Oh, Guan Tian, the actress? Not really, no…”

“How about now?”

The two paparazzi paused.

Because in front of them, a check was handed over.

The amount on it was several times higher than what their employer had paid.

They exchanged a look and discreetly accepted it, their expressions changing faster than flipping a page.

[Host, you didn’t even need to argue… impressive.]

Shi Xing ignored it, crossing her arms, “Now tell me, do you know Guan Tian?”

“Yes, yes, we do!” one of the paparazzi quickly replied, “We were actually called here by her. She said if we stayed here, we could catch some scandalous photos of President Wen.”

“Yeah, but she didn’t go in, she just left. Oh right, she gave us a deposit, said she’d pay the rest once the job was done, but now she’s gone, how do we find her?”

“Exactly! We don’t even know what to do now…” The paparazzi sighed, “So we stayed a bit longer, and when we saw you come out, we took a few shots.”

Shi Xing nodded, understanding the situation.

She thought so, Guan Tian wanted to rely solely on drugging Wen Xiangling to make things happen, but something was missing.

Turns out, it was the paparazzi.

The ones waiting at the door to spread the news.

Shi Xing chuckled, “You said you don’t know the full story, but aren’t you curious to know more?”

The two paparazzi paused, looking at her.

“How about checking the surveillance footage?”

“But we don’t have the authority to access the surveillance…”

“What can’t be done with money?”

The two paparazzi exchanged glances, visibly tempted.

“Go check the footage, see the whole story. I believe there will be surprises.”

She smoothed her hair, turned, and smiled, “I’ll be off then. Before I go-”

“Congratulations in advance for your scoop, trending without spending a dime.”

With that, she smiled charmingly and left.

The two paparazzi stood there for a while, until Shi Xing’s figure completely disappeared. They exchanged a look, then simultaneously stood up and headed to the surveillance room.

After bribing the staff, they accessed the surveillance footage.

From Guan Tian sneakily taking off her coat at the door, to knocking and entering, to being kicked out-

They exchanged a smile.

Indeed, there was a surprise.

The hot search exploded.

In less than an hour, “Guan Tian Tries To Seduce President Wen” skyrocketed from the bottom of the trending list-

All the way to number one!

“@Entertainment You Me And He: The rising star @Guan Tian Rabbit, who once had rumors with the popular actor @Famous Actor Lin Yi , has always portrayed a pure image. Yet, she attempted to climb the ranks with her looks!”

“According to surveillance footage, at 11 PM last night, Guan Tian arrived at a certain room on the 12th floor of a resort hotel. After some hesitation, she removed her coat, revealing a lace camisole-”

“She knocked on the door. The surveillance view was partially blocked by the door, so we couldn’t see clearly, but we know that five minutes later, she put her coat back on and ran out, seemingly kicked out.”

“Our reporter went to the resort hotel and found out the owner of the room-”

“Was none other than the president of Huashi, where Guan Tian works, President Wen!”

“Guan Tian Fails To Seduce President Wen And Is Kicked Out”

…

In just five minutes, the comments section exploded.

“Oh my god, I’m shocked! Wasn’t Guan Tian always the pure type, claiming to know nothing? Then why was she at President Wen’s room in the middle of the night?”

“And wearing a lace camisole… won’t this video get banned?”

“Wait, isn’t the most shocking part that she got kicked out?”

…

…

Inside the Huashi building, the manager slammed the documents to the ground.

“Guan Tian, what were you thinking? You almost got blacklisted for this kind of behavior in Hawaii, and if it weren’t for Lin Yi taking a liking to you…”

The manager took a deep breath, “And you dare repeat the same mistake!”

“I… I didn’t!” Guan Tian cried, tears streaming down her face, “Ping-Jie, I drugged him this time, it should have worked…”

“Drugged him, you dare drug him?”

“But if it weren’t for Shi Xing, I would have succeeded!”

Ping-Jie fumed, “You think you would have succeeded?”

“If it weren’t for Shi Xing, if she hadn’t been there…” Guan Tian sobbed, “President Wen, President Wen wouldn’t have been able to resist me! And I specifically asked her not to say anything!”

Shi Xing had promised not to say anything, but now-

But now she not only spoke, she exposed everything!

Shi Xing, it’s all Shi Xing’s fault!

She came and ruined everything!

“Ping-Jie, please help me, talk to President Wen,” Guan Tian clung to her, “President Wen won’t give up on me!”

Even though she was kicked out in Hawaii and her resources plummeted-

President Wen hadn’t terminated her contract, right?

Because President Wen still had feelings for her, President Wen didn’t want to terminate her contract, President Wen wanted her to stay at Huashi.

Yes, it must be like that.

“Ping-Jie, please talk to President Wen, yes, tell him Shi Xing’s true colors, and then President Wen will definitely forgive me…”

“President Wen has already spoken.”

Guan Tian breathed a sigh of relief, immediately asking, “Did President Wen forgive me? Did he say he would help clear my name? Did President Wen-”

“He said he wants to terminate your contract.”

Guan Tian froze.

Ping-Jie coldly said, “He said Huashi will pay the penalty, and your contract-”

She enunciated each word, “Ends here.”
