The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 681 - 680. Low-profile
Chapter 681: 680. Low-profile
As for those rumors about "Tang Shu stooping to any level to marry into a wealthy family," they had vanished without a trace.
***
In the heart of Vast Entertainment, Mu Ziwei, who was finally free from the frantic promotion of her movie, was feeling delighted.
The very next moment, Wang Zheng approached her with a darkened face, giving her an ominous premonition.
"Did you orchestrate the rumors about Tang Shu’s scandalous boyfriend?"
"What’s wrong, isn’t it okay?"
Faced with the accusation, Mu Ziwei didn’t intend to hide anything. After all, Wang Zheng had done such things before, so she admitted it readily.
"Okay? How could it not be okay?"
Wang Zheng was infuriated yet powerless, almost suffocating in his own exasperation.
"It’s just that before you acted, couldn’t you have investigated thoroughly? This isn’t about pulling Tang Shu down, it’s practically a promotional boost for her!"
"Promotional boost? What promotion, what happened?"
"What happened? Tang Shu and Xu Qianyun are siblings, so all those rumors of a romantic relationship are overturned!"
Wang Zheng sat on the sofa, wearily pinching the bridge of his nose, his eyes filled with irritation. "You better cut ties with that marketing account as soon as possible. Starshine Media isn’t easy to mess with. If this affair drags you into it, it’s bound to be big trouble."
He was certain that this was Mu Ziwei’s doing because he was familiar with those marketing accounts and had even collaborated with them before.
Startled by his words, Mu Ziwei hurriedly pulled out her phone to check the news. Without any effort, the incident was displayed in red letters at the top of Weibo’s trending searches.
Five minutes later, her complexion grew darker, and her fingers, from gripping the phone too tightly, turned pale, leaving deep red marks.
"How could this be? Tang Shu is actually Xu Qianyun’s sister? Then... doesn’t that mean she’s part of the Xu Family?!"
But how could Tang Shu have the surname Tang? Could it be because she wanted to blend into the entertainment industry, so she changed her surname? After all, this wouldn’t be the first case in the industry.
"So, the smooth sailing of Tang Shu’s career within her first year of debut is also because of the support of Xu Corporation, isn’t it?"
At this moment, Mu Ziwei’s mind was a turmoil of emotions, even filled with a sense of powerlessness.
It is known that the very first scandal regarding Tang Shu’s background was linked to her having powerful connections, and Mu Ziwei was the one who had initiated it.
Never in her wildest dreams did Mu Ziwei expect her own words to hit the nail on the head!
Wang Zheng, upon hearing this conclusion, also fell silent. "According to logical analysis, Tang Shu is indeed part of the Xu Family, but... I remember that the current general manager of Xu Corporation is Xu Qianyu, isn’t it?"
Although Xu Corporation is part of the machinery manufacturing industry, its fame in the capital is considerable, and even ordinary people know some basic facts, with Xu Qianyu’s name often appearing in the capital’s newspapers.
"Perhaps the Xu Family has more than one daughter."
Mu Ziwei’s expression grew increasingly sullen. Recalling the pit she had dug herself, which ended up being a stepping stone for Tang Shu’s meteoric rise, her anger grew substantially, yet she was powerless to do anything.
Wang Zheng gave her a glance and warned repeatedly, "Don’t act rashly during this period; just focus on promoting your new movie. If Tang Shu indeed turns out to be from the Xu Family, they could very well trace the whole thing back to you."
"I understand. I will keep a low profile for a while."
Mu Ziwei also realized the danger she was in; despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to lay low.
Yet... this rookie, who she had looked down upon just a year ago, had managed to make her stumble several times in just one year. Even if Tang Shu’s current fame wasn’t as great as her own, surpassing her seemed only a matter of time.
