Fu Yunshen rubbed his forehead and asked the system, “Didn’t your script say to keep things deeply secret from me? Can’t you get me a trending topic?”

【Of course, it’s deeply secret for you, but there are always a few cannon fodder villains trying to harm the main character. Lu Ning is a moderately popular star, and his rival knows that his manager wants to get him into the investor’s bed, so they were waiting at the hotel. The little villain star didn’t expect Lu Ning to walk into the wrong room.】

It’s really a case of being unjustly criticized… Fu Yunshen said to his assistant, “Withdraw the trending topic.”

【Don’t! Fifth Master, according to the style of an old man from a wealthy family, you should use the Fu family’s official Weibo to @ Lu Ning, and make an official statement to protect your wife.】

【Wake up, the board of directors will force the wealthy old man to roll out tomorrow; consider the social reality.】

However, at this moment, Lu Ning suddenly reposted a Weibo post saying: 【This is a rumor. Also: I will be suing Xinquan Entertainment and terminating my contract.】

Although Lu Ning was just a minor star, he still had over a million fans. Originally, the trending topic wasn’t very hot, but now it has started to gain traction. It’s rare for an artist to stand up so directly against their management company, which seems to directly point to last night’s incident being related to the management company.

The assistant, who was keeping an eye on the situation for Fu Yunshen, quickly noticed Lu Ning’s update and asked, “Sir, should we still withdraw it?”

Fu Yunshen glanced at it and said, “Withdraw it. Also, delete all related Weibo posts.”

Fu Yunshen didn’t like being discussed in the entertainment industry.

The little white rabbit’s handling of the situation was indeed not very skillful, but Fu Yunshen still felt his determination and decisiveness, as well as his eagerness to clear his name. Even though he was a little white rabbit, he could still bite.

Following Fu Yunshen’s orders, the assistant immediately contacted the relevant personnel to handle the situation. Soon, all related content online was completely deleted, with not even a trace remaining, leaving only Lu Ning’s defiant post against his management company.

The system said, 【Fifth Master, do you understand now? “Deeply secret” is how you created it.】

Netizens who were following the incident were astonished by how quickly the trending topic was removed and the Weibo posts deleted, to the point that they even questioned whether the events of this morning were real. Only Lu Ning’s Weibo confirmed the truth of the matter.

However, many people commenting under Lu Ning’s Weibo post had their speculations going off track: 【Could it be that the company is really feeling guilty and has something to hide? Otherwise, why would they delete things so quickly?】

【It must be Xinquan’s dirty work. I’ve been following Lu Ning for so long; he’s been exploited and impoverished by this shady company.】

【Is Xinquan just a fly-by-night operation? How could they have such strong execution to withdraw trending topics and delete posts?】

【This speed… I don’t think Xingya even has this level of efficiency. Is Xinquan really this strong?】

【The faster they delete Weibo posts, the more it shows Xinquan’s guilt!】

Xinquan Entertainment, which was seriously overestimated, was now in a chaotic state. They couldn’t contact Lu Ning or access his Weibo account to delete the posts. Lu Ning had no real authority within the company, and his Weibo account was controlled by them. However, Lu Ning had wisened up this time and changed his Weibo password before posting.

Manager Zhang Rui hadn’t expected that after parting ways with Lu Ning at the hotel, Lu Ning would silently cause such a major incident. It seemed Lu Ning had gained confidence from his association with Fu Yunshen and dared to turn against him immediately.

At that moment, Zhang Rui was fuming and cursing loudly in the company: “A lowly escort dares to challenge me? Doesn’t he fear being discarded once the rich guy is bored with him?”

Xinquan Entertainment was also shocked by the rapid handling of the situation. The PR manager quickly asked Zhang Rui, “Who exactly did you send Lu Ning to last night?”

Zhang Rui, who had returned to the company feeling quite smug, thinking Lu Ning’s success would elevate him, was now reluctantly lowering his voice and said, “It was Fifth Master Fu of the Fu family.”

“What?” The PR manager stared in disbelief, “Isn’t he known for keeping himself aloof from both men and women? He actually took an interest in Lu Ning?”

Zhang Rui sneered and said, “Who isn’t interested in the opposite sex? Especially someone in such a high position. He probably has some unusual preferences, liking Lu Ning’s innocent student look. Doing homework, haha, I bet he was making Lu Ning do his homework while… I saw Lu Ning this morning, looking exhausted and barely able to stand, while Fifth Master Fu came out looking refreshed.”

“Is it really like that…” The PR manager was stunned, “Rich people sure know how to have fun.”

After the shock, the manager became worried: “Now that Lu Ning is Fifth Master Fu’s, can we still afford to offend him? We should try to communicate with Lu Ning and see if he’s willing to delete the Weibo post.”

“And that contract of his, honestly, it’s such a trap. If Fifth Master’s people see it, they might get really angry. We should just agree to terminate the contract quickly!”

Zhang Rui retorted angrily, “Why are you so spineless?! What if Fifth Master Fu gets bored tomorrow?”

“Even if he does, he’s not someone we can mess with. We’re just a small-time operation; he could crush us with a single finger.” The PR manager, lacking Zhang Rui’s stubbornness, had already deflated upon hearing Fu Yunshen’s name, “I need to quickly inform the boss.”

So, when the boss received the PR manager’s call, he was so frightened that he fell out of bed from his affair.

…

When Fu Yunshen returned to the Fu family mansion after work, his father and mother were already waiting for him. The old man spoke in a deep voice, “Fifth, you’ve always been steady. Why are you behaving like those younger generation, playing around with a little star?”

Fu Yunshen was the old man’s child from his later years, born when he was forty-eight. Despite this, the old man did not indulge him. Fu Yunshen had undergone elite education from a young age and had always been held to high standards, unlike the younger generation who were spoiled.

It seemed that the old man had already learned about the trending topic. Fu Yunshen said, “Father, there is nothing improper between me and that young person. You’ve misunderstood.”

The old man handed him a few photos and said, “Take a look at these. Isn’t this your assistant?”

Indeed, the photos showed the assistant moving high school exam materials… Fu Yunshen helplessly replied, “That young person was just here to do his homework.”

“Homework… Hmph.” The old man didn’t believe such a ridiculous excuse. “If you like someone, just marry them. I wouldn’t oppose you marrying a little star, but don’t play these games of keeping someone on the side. You’re already twenty-eight; it’s time for you to settle down. Otherwise, people will think you have some problem!”

Fu Yunshen remained silent. His father wasn’t scolding him; he was concerned about his marriage.

At that moment, the system sighed and said, 【Actually, I’m curious why our wealthy old man is still a virgin at twenty-eight. Doesn’t that bother him?】

Just as Fu Yunshen was about to respond, the system suddenly changed its tone and said to itself, 【Forget it, if he’s bothered, he’s bothered. Maintaining purity is more important.】

Fu Yunshen: 【？？？】 Maintaining purity was his own choice, but who exactly was this “pure” person, and why should a wealthy old man remain celibate for twenty-eight years for him?

Fu Yunshen said to his father, “Father, I’m currently swamped with work at the company. When I have the time and meet the right person, I’ll consider it.”

The old man had already handed over the Fu family business to Fu Yunshen, and he was indeed very busy.

Seeing Fu Yunshen’s response, the old man knew convincing his son to marry would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. He tossed his sleeve and turned to go upstairs, saying, “Before you turn thirty, whether it’s a man or a woman, you must bring someone home!”

Fu Yunshen’s stepmother, the old man’s second wife, had given birth to him at thirty and was now only fifty-eight. She maintained her health well and had a youthful mindset.

Once the old man had left, she leaned in and whispered to Fu Yunshen, “Son, tell Mom quietly—do you have any special preferences? And about that homework last night, how exactly was it written? Did he sit on your…”

“Mom.” Fu Yunshen frowned and interrupted, “Shouldn’t I have had that website you like shut down?”

The old lady huffed and said, “You’re thinking too much. It’s not like I let anything inappropriate appear below the neck.”

…

When Lu Ning returned to his rented apartment, he posted on Weibo and then turned off his phone to get a good night’s sleep. By the time he woke up, it was already 2 PM. He gazed at the warm winter sunlight and spent some time contemplating his future.

Without turning his phone back on, he got up, retrieved the contract he had signed with Xinquan Entertainment, and headed out to find the best law firm in the city, as advised by Fu Yunshen.

Lu Ning came from a poor family and had struggled throughout his life. As a diligent student working part-time, earning tens of thousands of yuan a month from Xinquan Entertainment felt like an incredible stroke of luck to him.

When the lawyer reviewed his contract and discussed it with him, Lu Ning realized just how exploitative the contract was. He felt foolish for having been so grateful to Xinquan Entertainment.

The drugging incident last night, where Zhang Rui had violated his will and sent him to someone else’s bed, had crossed Lu Ning’s boundaries. If it weren’t for Mr. Fu, he would have… The thought of it made Lu Ning tremble with anger.

With red eyes, Lu Ning firmly told the lawyer, “I want to sue Xinquan Entertainment.”

After discussing the preliminary details with the lawyer, Lu Ning returned to his apartment and turned his phone back on.

The moment he powered up the device, he was bombarded with countless notifications—text messages, WeChat messages, and emails. Lu Ning understood that since he posted that Weibo update, Xinquan Entertainment would not let him off easily.

But now, with evidence in hand and a lawyer ready, he was not afraid.

So, Lu Ning began to check the messages.

And then he was stunned.

Why were all the people with his contact information sending him similar messages:

【Xiao Ning, this is your boss. We deeply apologize for Zhang Rui’s actions. Could you please discuss this with us and delete that Weibo post? We can negotiate a peaceful termination and any compensation you need.】

【Xiao Ning, this is the PR department of the company…】

【Lu Ning! Please delete that Weibo post and agree to terminate the contract! You can make any demands you want!】

【Lu Ning! Please!】

Lu Ning: 【? What’s going on with you all?】

He took out the embossed business card and stroked the name Fu Yunshen, and it seemed he understood what they were afraid of.

But Lu Ning was resolute in his decision: 【I have prepared the lawyer’s letter. I will post it on Weibo shortly. We’ll handle this professionally. See you in court.】

After sending the message, Lu Ning logged onto Weibo.

Lu Ning V: 【@Xinquan Entertainment. Lawyer’s letter ‘image’】

The Xinquan boss, PR manager, and Zhang Rui: 【No!!! Help!!!】
