No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

At the end, Qin Muxuan stayed and shared the bed with her daughter.

Gu Zijin hadn’t pestered her recently. Thanks to that, she lived a comfortable life.

Qin Muxuan’s routine was to shoot the film with her son and accompany her daughter in Yin Youting’s place. Half a month fled. She didn’t feel bored, but overjoyed.

As usual, she arrived at the filming site. A supporting actress named Xu Haiqiao pulled her into a corner, “Qin Xuan, you’re on the trending! Have you known that?”

Xu Haiqiao was an accomplished actress. She entered the entertainment industry out of some reasons for nearly ten years, but she was not famous. Xu Haiqiao had always been a supporting actress in different films. Though she was sophisticated, she stuck to her bottom line.

She had been a friend of Qin Muxuan in the filming site because they were congenial.

Qin Muxuan was confused.

She looked in her phone. It turned out that Gu Zijin’s divorce announcement had escalated online. Someone had recorded the scene Gu Zijin had helped Qin Muxuan enter a hotel room half a month ago when she had met Mr. Lee. The video had been posted online and discovered by Yan Yuxiao’s fans. Qin Muxuan was regarded as a home wrecker who put foot in Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao’s marriage. Netizens rebuked and cursed her.

Someone also exposed that she had paid for joining the crew. A bunch of people reprimanded her and her sponsor. Stans of Jiang Qinqin, who had been supposed to play the role, chewed Qin Muxuan and the crew out. Things turned into a mess.

Frowning, Qin Muxuan read these comments attentively. There were paid posters manipulating public opinions.

‘Well, it should be hard for her to endure for so long.’ Qin Muxuan jeered in her heart.

Noticing Qin Muxuan remained silent, Xu Haiqiao patted her shoulder. “The industry is like this. People will keep an eye on your every move. They might misunderstand you. Just ignore those comments. Netizens will lose their interests two days later.”

“Well, how could they know me and even make a video when I just returned to China?” Qin Muxuan had already known who was behind this. She put away her phone and casually uttered a plaint.

Rubbing her face, she joked, “God, I’m so stunning that they even noticed me in the crowd.”

Seeing that, Xu Haiqiao chuckled. “Mr. Gu’s dashing. They kept an eye on him, not you.” She japed.

Recently, Qin Muxuan had learnt some punch lines which were popular among young people. She pretended to be plaintive, “Don’t spoil my illusion.”

“All right. You’re Miss Charming and everyone loves you.”

“Oh God! Then I will become a debauched woman. I only love Xiaobai.”

They were bantering as if nothing had happened.

However, Qin Muxuan was involved in this case. She came to the director before shooting.

“Mr. Zhang, have you seen the trending today?” She grinned.

Zhang Jiayi had been in the entertainment industry for ten years. He had met countless people wearing masks. However, he was curious at this moment. The director glimpsed at the woman, speaking directly. “Jiang Qinqin was brushed aside because she’s not suitable for this role, but I don’t mean that you can bring such a mess to our crew.”

Qin Muxuan’s trick was brought to light, but she maintained her smile, “What if I can peak the search of our film, Teen?”

Zhang Jiayi raised his eyebrow. He put away the script, asking. “How?”

“Take a look.”

Qin Muxuan showed two videos reposted by Jian Xi to the director.

One of them was about the rehearsal of Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai. Zhang Jiayi came to realize her plan.

After pondering for a while, he consented. “Post them. Cut the most enchanting part.”

‘She plans to apply hunger marketing which is often seen in the industry.’

With his approval, Qin Muxuan took actions immediately. She released these videos and informed Gu Zijin.

@QinXuan: Although we look alike, but I’m Qin Xuan. @GuZijinfromtheGuGroup, I hope Mr. Gu won’t get the wrong person again/smile (Video A) (Video B)

Jian Xi and operation team acted quickly. Ten millions of Gu Zijin’s fans and stans of the original book made the post a trending topic on Weibo.

Some scolded Qin Muxuan, while others liked her. However, her performance brooked no blame. Jiang Qinqin’s fans could no longer reprimanded her for winning the role by cash.

The number of netizens detesting her increased. Some blamed her for drawing attention by taking advantage of Gu Zijin, while others said she was not suitable for the character…

Qin Muxuan threw a disdainful look at these comments. She put away her phone and started shooting.

**

Gu Zijin had kept an eye on Qin Xuan’s Weibo account after realizing she was Qin Muxuan.

A woman was reporting to Gu Zijin, while his phone buzzed. The man fumbled for his phone. After reading the post, he scowled.

His finger quickly swiped the screen. As he saw those curses about Qin Muxuan for being a home wrecker, Gu Zijin became outraged with knitted brows. His grim face turned even darker.

The subordinate gave her presentation more gingerly.

Gu Zijin beckoned Lisa who stood beside him. She immediately approached her boss. The man showed her those comments, “Figure out who’s behind this.”

Lisa nodded and left.

Gu Zijin wore a scowl during the meeting. His subordinate staff briefed him on their reports. The man rose to his feet out of the blue, “Follow me, PR manager.”

He said drily. A middle-aged man tensed up, following Gu Zijin out. People in the meeting room saw their colleague off sympathetically.

Gu Zijin strode away, so the man had to trot to catch up with Gu Zijin.

“Mr. Gu.”

“Qin Xuan who acts with Xiaobai has nothing to do with my marriage. Make it clear online.”

Gu Zijin paused, then he added. “Don’t damage her reputation.”

The subordinate moped at his brow, “Got it. I’ll announce a statement.”

“Mmm.” Gu Zijin slowed down before general-secretary’s office. “Help her if she needs, as… as a compensation for getting her involved.”

He was reluctant to see her be overwhelmed by public opinions. Hence, he made such an order.

“You can leave now.”

The middle-aged man was tactful. He responded instantly, “Okay, I’ll do it now.”

Lisa rose from the chair when she saw Gu Zijin. She handed a document over to her boss, “Mr. Gu, it’s Ms. Yan.”

“Our IT department find the evidence that her assistant hired paid posters and their ultimate purpose.”

Gu Zijin took the document and scanned it. When the words “driving Qin Muxuan out of the entertainment industry” broke into his eyes, he tightened his jaw astonishedly, “Stop them.”

He gave it back to Lisa, giving her a meaningful look, “Backfire if necessary.”

As Gu Zijin planned to do crisis management, Yin Youting had already taken actions.

He said in a Weibo post that he would focus on the work in China and joked that he flied back to China because of his Muse. Yin Youting tagged Qin Xuan at the end of his post.

He had always been the Prince Charming for ladies. Numerous women and his partners reposted his Weibo instantly.

His post topped the trending. Qin Xuan’s name had emerged on the top trending search three times a day. Countless fans and onlookers flooded into her Weibo page and left comments.

Her followers surged from a million to two million of which one million was bought by Jian Xi. The other one million consisted of onlookers and anti-fans.

However, others envied her.

‘I didn’t expect that!’

Yan Yuxiao was furious. She threw her phone onto Xiaohuan, her assistant. “What’s wrong with you?”

“You can’t even deal with such a simple issue! You moron! The cash I gave you doesn’t work at all!” Yan Yuxiao kept poking her assistant’s forehead.

Her sharp nails pierced Xiaohuan’s skin. It hurt! However, the meek woman dared not to say anything. Cringing, she murmured, “Sorry, Ms. Yan. I hired the top-level posters, but they said Mr. Gu and Mr. Yin had myriad fans. They asked for another 300, 000 dollars to achieve our goal…”

Yan Yuxiao’s face turned villainous and ugly. She kicked over a chair, venting her anger in the room. After a while, she gnashed, “Give them!”

“I’ll wait and see how many people come to help her!”

Xiaohuan hurried out of the room immediately to contact paid posters.

At the same time, she detested Yan Yuxiao even more. The assistant bared her teeth outside the room outragedly.

“Youting, I appreciate that.” Qin Muxuan’s eyelids drooped. No one could see her expression.

“It’s okay. I just seize the opportunity to advertise our company.”

“By the way, I also take advantage of you. I should say thank you.”

Yin Youting chuckled on the phone, “My dad has been nagging about my marriage these years. It’s beneficial to both of us.”

Qin Muxuan knew he intended to lift her out of feeling guilty, which made her become more grateful for him.

‘But… I rejected his proposal a few days ago. He announced that he returned to China for me publicly.’ A mixed feeling of guilt and gratitude choked her up.

“Thank you for helping me these days.” She paused to take a deep breath, suppressing her guilt. “Just call me if you need help.”

“Well, that’s exactly what I want.” Yin Youting grinned, “I need your help now.”

“For what?”

“My dad wants to meet you.”

Qin Muxuan was dumbfounded. His words bombed her, which made her out of wits. Clenching her phone, the woman widened her eyes in disbelief.

It took her a thousand years to process his utterance. She swallowed, asking tentatively. “You gotta be kidding me.”

“Well, the answer is no.” Feeling she was like a duck in a thunderstorm, Yin Youting laughed.

He coughed in order not to spook her. ‘She might chicken out.’ Considering that, the man gave his cheek a pinch and said seriously, “Are you available tonight? We can visit my dad in the hospital, okay?”

“It’s too fast…” Qin Muxuan was so nervous that she broke strands of hair. It hurt! Frowning, she gathered her wits together.

She negotiated cautiously, “I… I’m not ready.”

“You don’t have to.” Yin Youting comforted her gently, “It’s just a casual gathering.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
