I Am Really Rich - Chapter 16 - Doing Whatever I Want in the Entertainment Circle

The lights at the press conference were flashing.

The handsome man and beautiful woman walked into the hotel arm in arm. It was just a press conference, but it felt like they were walking the red carpet.

The reporters who hadn’t entered the venue yet exchanged glances and simultaneously took out their cameras, snapping away.

“Isn’t that President Wen? What’s he doing here?”

“Are you stupid? Guan Tian is from Huashi. Of course, President Wen has to be here.”

“But the beauty beside him… I feel like I’ve seen her before. At the last banquet with the “Orange Turmoil” crew, I saw her…”

“Ah! They’re here!”

The reporters quickly fell silent and focused on taking photos.

Shi Xing and Wen Xiangling didn’t shy away from the cameras. In fact, Shi Xing occasionally turned around to smile at the cameras or wave, as if she were walking the red carpet.

When she stopped to wave, Wen Xiangling also paused, smiling as he waited for her.

“Click, click-”

The reporters didn’t miss the opportunity. They took photos for several minutes until Shi Xing and Wen Xiangling disappeared into the hotel. Then they stopped and hurriedly followed them inside with their press passes.

In no time, the area outside was empty.

Lin Yi stood at the entrance, gritting his teeth.

He was a famous star, but not only had someone stolen the woman he loved, even the cameras that should have been focused on him had turned away.

What was so great about Wen Xiangling? What made him so special?

Why did he get to hold Shi Xing’s waist?

“Sir, are you going in…”

“Yes.” Lin Yi impatiently pushed past the security guard, his face dark as he walked towards the press conference venue.

The hotel entrance was bustling, and the inside was even more lively.

In the large hall of the resort hotel, many reporters were already seated, and the stage was set, waiting for today’s main character to take their seat.

Shi Xing’s seat was in the front row, with Wen Xiangling beside her.

“You know me well,” she said. “Sitting here, I can clearly see Guan Tian’s expression.”

Wen Xiangling raised an eyebrow. “I thought you liked sitting in the front.”

Shi Xing smiled. “I do.”

Wen Xiangling smirked and made a gesture for her to sit.

Shi Xing smiled and sat down without hesitation.

The press conference soon began.

The lights dimmed, and the room quieted down, with only the sound of whispers and camera shutters.

The participants of the press conference slowly entered.

Huashi’s people sat on either side, and after a ten-minute delay, the main character, Guan Tian, finally entered.

Her face was pale, her eyes swollen, and her hair messy. It was hard to recognize the pure and lovely rising actress from the variety show a few days ago.

The reporters quickly pressed their shutters.

“Hello, media and guests. The content of this press conference concerns the viral ‘Guan Tian’s attempt to seduce her way to the top.’ We are here to inform you that this is true.”

“And this press conference is also to announce the contract termination between Guan Tian and Huashi.”

After Ping-Jie calmly read the opening statement, there was a moment of silence, followed by an uproar.

They had thought this press conference was to clear things up.

Even if the evidence was conclusive, Huashi had the ability to manage the situation, at least to come up with a plausible excuse…

But they admitted it!

And this press conference-

“Oh my god, did I hear that right? A contract termination press conference?!”

“Oh no, why didn’t they notify us in advance? My camera’s memory is full! I thought it was just a regular press conference!”

“A contract termination press conference means… the situation is very serious, doesn’t it?!”

“Is there more information we don’t know about?”

The scene was in an uproar.

Guan Tian bit her lip, not daring to look up. But since it was a press conference, there had to be questions from the reporters.

“Miss Guan, did you really try to seduce President Wen and get kicked out?”

Guan Tian gritted her teeth. “I refuse to answer-”

“Yes. The video evidence is conclusive, leaving no room for denial.”

Guan Tian froze and turned her head. “Ping-Jie!”

Ping-Jie said calmly, “President Wen has given the order. If you don’t speak, I will answer all the questions for you.”

Guan Tian turned back with a fierce look.

“Miss Guan, why did you try to seduce your way to the top at such a critical moment?”

“Miss Guan, why did you choose to seduce President Wen? Although he is powerful, wasn’t it too ambitious of you?”

“Miss Guan, what will you do after the contract termination? If you terminate your contract with Huashi, will any other company be willing to take you in?”

The reporters’ questions were sharp, and Guan Tian almost ground her teeth to dust.

But she knew they were right.

What would she do after the contract termination?

What could she do?

She was finished!

Abandoned by Huashi, no talent agency would dare to take her in!

She looked around the room in despair, and suddenly, she saw someone-

It was Lin Yi-Ge!

Guan Tian’s hope reignited.

When she was almost blacklisted by President Wen in Hawaii, it was Lin Yi-Ge who helped her. So this time too…

Her hope was shattered in less than a second because when she looked at Lin Yi, he averted his gaze.

Not only did he look away, but he also turned his attention to the front row.

Guan Tian followed his gaze and was stunned.

In the front row, sitting expressionless, was President Wen, and-

Shi Xing, looking pleased!

Guan Tian almost ground her teeth to dust!

“Miss Guan, reaching the point of contract termination indicates a very serious issue. Is there anything else you’re hiding from us?”

Guan Tian stared at Shi Xing.

The beautiful woman was adjusting her hair, her pretty lips curved in a seemingly happy smile.

Yes, it was this woman who took everything from her and then destroyed everything!

Even her last lifeline was ruthlessly cut by her!

Yes, it was this woman!

Since she was finished, they might as well all go down together! All go down together!

“Miss Guan? Please answer my question. Is there anything else you’re hiding…”

“Yes, there is!”

The reporter was stunned, and even Ping-Jie frowned.

The room fell silent.

“You don’t know, do you? Then let me tell you!” Guan Tian suddenly stood up. “I do have something else to hide. Do you know why I went to President Wen’s room that day?”

The room was silent, with no one speaking.

“Because Shi Xing drugged me! She hates me, so she wanted to destroy me!”

Guan Tian stood in the center of the stage, shouting, “She drugged me and made me seduce President Wen! She wanted me to sleep with President Wen! The woman in the front row, it’s her!”
