I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 64

“The man who got wine thrown at him in the video is the young master of Jinxiu Apparel. The reason is simple: he wanted to invite Qin Yunxuan to have a drink with him, but not only did she refuse to save face, she even openly mocked him!”

“The young master of Jinxiu Apparel said a few words out of frustration, and without a second thought, Qin Yunxuan grabbed a glass of wine from nearby and splashed it right at him!”

“Honestly, the ego of some celebrities these days is just unbelievable! I used to think Qin Yunxuan had the same pure character as her appearance, but I guess you really can’t judge a book by its cover!”

…

As soon as this “insider” spilled the story, Qin Yunxuan was instantly thrown into the spotlight of controversy.

“Is this for real? Is Qin Yunxuan really that arrogant?”

“Hard to say. In the entertainment industry, once people make it big, they often let it get to their heads. Qin Yunxuan was mocked by the entire internet before, and now that her fortunes have turned so quickly, it’s not impossible for her to act all high and mighty.”

“Didn’t you notice? The young master of Jinxiu Apparel also used some inappropriate language.”

“And that justifies throwing wine in his face? Besides, the young master was doing her a favor by inviting her to drink. Does she really think she’s that big of a star?”

“Qin Yunxuan, I never thought you were this kind of person. I’m unsubscribing. I’m done following you!”

“I heard Qin Yunxuan said a lot of harsh things to Liu Qingcheng backstage at the singer’s event. That’s why Liu Qingcheng passed out!”

“Really? Didn’t Liu Qingcheng say it was because of low blood sugar?”

“Like she’d admit to something that embarrassing?”

“Hah, this Qin Yunxuan… unbelievable.”

…

Smash!

In the chairman’s office at Starlight Entertainment, Yun Sihai hurled his cup to the floor.

The door creaked open, and Manager Lin walked in. She took in the scene silently, then quietly began cleaning up the shattered pieces.

“This is too much! Absolutely too much!” Yun Sihai’s eyes burned with anger. “Lin Ruo, tell me everything that happened yesterday. Don’t leave anything out.”

Lin Ruo sighed softly. She’d known Yun Sihai would be furious when she saw the news this morning.

“This is what happened…”

Lin Ruo held nothing back and relayed every detail to Yun Sihai.

By the time she finished, Yun Sihai’s fists were clenched tightly.

“That little brat Li Changsheng really had the nerve to say that?”

Lin Ruo nodded silently.

Bang! Yun Sihai slammed his fist on the desk.

“Fine! Just fine! Some wet-behind-the-ears brat actually dares to look down on Starlight Entertainment? Who does he think he is?”

Lin Ruo sighed. “Chairman Yun, when you let Xuanyuan enter the entertainment industry under a hidden identity, this kind of situation was bound to happen.”

“Besides, you should have expected this. If Xuanyuan wants to go further, she has to learn to endure and handle all of this. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.”

Yun Sihai took a deep breath. “I know. But when I think about how that little punk Li Changsheng spoke to Xuanyuan like that, I just want to… skin him alive!”

Lin Ruo shook her head. “Li Changsheng alone isn’t worth worrying about. What we need to focus on now is… how to control the current public opinion.”

Yun Sihai smirked coldly. “This so-called video, the ‘leaked info,’ the ‘insider’—it’s all arranged by Jinxiu Apparel, isn’t it? How ridiculous! A clothing company trying to play the public opinion game with an entertainment giant? They’re overestimating themselves.”

He took another deep breath and said in a low voice, “Lin Ruo, I’ll have the PR department fully support you. Make sure Jinxiu Apparel pays the price they deserve.”

Lin Ruo hesitated. “Chairman Yun, what’s the bottom line…?”

“There is no bottom line. Worst-case scenario: all artists under Starlight Entertainment will terminate any and all collaborations with Jinxiu Apparel. Wherever Jinxiu Apparel is involved, Starlight Entertainment will not be present—not even a logo, not even a piece of clothing.”

Lin Ruo’s eyes narrowed. This move was ruthless.

Although Jinxiu Apparel was an international clothing brand, Starlight Entertainment was one of the top three entertainment giants in the country. If they really went head-to-head with Jinxiu Apparel, it was hard to say who would come out on top.

This could easily become a lose-lose situation. It was clear Yun Sihai was truly furious this time.

“Understood. I’ll handle it carefully,” Lin Ruo said.

…

“So, that’s what’s been happening. The public opinion about you online hasn’t been great lately, so take the next couple of days off. Lay low for a while.”

Manager Lin found Qin Yunxuan and filled her in on the day’s events.

Qin Yunxuan was speechless. Some people in this world really had too much time on their hands.

She hadn’t even done anything—how did she end up trending again?

“Am I just have hot search physique or what?”

Still, she agreed with Manager Lin’s decision. She was more than happy to take a few days off.

“Oh, and one more thing. Now that you’re Professor Chen’s student, you can’t focus solely on the entertainment industry. You need to put more effort into your work with Professor Chen.”

Professor Chen? Qin Yunxuan was stunned for a moment. Who was Professor Chen?

Then it hit her—a thought she hardly dared to believe.

“Manager Lin, you mean…”

“Before, we weren’t too supportive of you continuing with scientific research. But since Professor Chen from the Jiuyang Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has taken you on as his student, we can’t exactly refuse him. After all, Professor Chen is a national treasure.”

“I discussed it with Chairman Yun, and he said it’s fine for you to balance both, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your regular work at the company.”

Gasp!

Qin Yunxuan drew a sharp breath and subtly pinched her thigh.

It hurt—so this wasn’t a dream. It was really happening!

What did Manager Lin just say? Professor Chen initiatively took her as his student? Was this also Qin Lang’s doing?

But Qin Lang was supposed to be an academic slacker. How could he have possibly earned Professor Chen’s favor?

“This doesn’t make sense. It just doesn’t add up!”

What kind of person was Professor Chen? The director of the Jiuyang Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a national treasure-level scientist receiving special government allowances. He wasn’t someone easily fooled.

But Qin Lang actually…

Becoming Professor Chen’s student had been one of Qin Yunxuan’s dreams. She never thought Qin Lang would be the one to make it happen.

“Qin Lang, I guess you’re not completely useless after all.”

All her previous resentment toward Qin Lang vanished in that instant.
