Despite himself, Gong Jie reached out to brush the hair back from his temples. However, when his fingertips came into contact with the actor’s cheek, it felt as though he was being electrocuted. He immediately retracted his hand.
…
The next day, Hua Jin woke up in a daze. He felt a chill on his body. He propped himself up and realized that the blanket had slipped to the ground.
But fortunately… he still had his bathrobe on. The actor sat up. He had no idea how the blanket fell to the floor. Maybe it was too warm and he had kicked it off in the middle of the night. He turned around and saw that Gong Jie was still asleep. Facing the man, the actor could easily see his thick and dense eyelashes.
They were dense and dark. No wonder he gave off a demonic vibe. His eyelashes were so dense that at a glance, they looked like heavy eyeliner. Unknowingly, he stared at him for a long time. It was only when his phone suddenly rang that he reacted, feeling guilty and flustered, as if he had done something wrong.
He braced himself and picked up the call, Qin Zhou’s icy voice came through.
“Are you still on vacation?”
“Ah… yes, still.”
“Be back at the filming location in three days’ time. We’re ready to issue a counter-attack.”
The actor was encouraged to hear this. “Have you got all the evidence on Tang Yu?”
“Almost. Now Tang Yu has the upper hand.”
“Upper hand?”
“Yes, but you should know that the higher you rise, the more painful it is when you fall!”
“Understood!” Ending the call, the actor walked to the balcony, sat up in the recliner, and began flipping through the news.
In the past few days, the team behind Tang Yu had started to hype things up online. They bombarded Hua Jin online, listing Hua Jin’s “five deadly sins”.
1: Messy private life.
They had somehow dug up old news about Hua Jin and Lin Xueya from somewhere, even the news that Hua Jin was a kept man. In addition to being ambiguous with his fans during filming, they had also pointed out that the female fan’s suicide had distorted the truth, saying that this fan was Hua Jin’s secret lover and that she was pregnant with his child.
If Hua Jin’s assistant had not driven her away so mercilessly, the female fan would not have jumped off the building in such despair.
2: Throwing his weight around.
In the past, when Hua Jin was on set, it was common for him to throw his weight around and even bully the crew.
3: Bullying newbies.
Tang Yu’s team spread rumors that when Tang Yu was on set, Hua Jin often used his status as the male lead to humiliate him. He completely disregarded Tang Yu, his manager, and his assistant. He even slapped Tang Yu in front of his assistant. Furthermore, Tang Yu’s assistant complained on Weibo that Hua Jin had gone overboard and slapped Tang Yu three times in his presence.
4: Hua Jin was a bad actor.
Tang Yu’s team promoted Tang Yu’s acting skills, and criticized Hua Jin’s poor acting skills. They accused him of being the highest-paid actor in the production team despite his bad acting, and that as a popular young actor in the entertainment industry, he relied on his delicate good looks instead of honing his acting skills.
5: Having fans of poor quality.
Hua Jin’s fans impeached Tang Yu on the Internet, accusing him of using Hua Jin’s reputation to create hype, and even insulting him on his Weibo.
Coupled with the fact that Qin Zhou had been treating Hua Jin coldly during this period of time, the public believed that Hua Jin was really such a detestable person.
