Qiao Wenxue really liked the Blue Jade Green Gem parrot she had bought for over ten thousand yuan. Although Ah Yu was different from what the shopkeeper had described after she bought it, and wasn't as smart as other parrots that could talk after being taught a few words, Qiao Wenxue still liked Ah Yu very much.
Being in the entertainment industry, there are too many things that are difficult to talk about with outsiders. After Sister Tang and Xiao Zheng left, she could only tell Ah Yu. Even though Ah Yu couldn't understand, Qiao Wenxue felt much better after complaining.
Hearing that Ah Yu had actually called the police to save her life, Qiao Wenxue looked at Gong Yu in surprise, her eyes sparkling with a touch of naivety.
"Qiao Wenxue, you can't hurt yourself like this anymore, understand? Otherwise, I won't save you next time!"
After a brief moment of amazement, Gong Yu also remembered Qiao Wenxue's suicide attempt. He deliberately spoke, and his boyish voice rang out in the ward, startling Qiao Wenxue, who was slightly averted from speaking.
"Look, Ah Yu is about to teach you a lesson as your owner. This incident not only scared me and Xiao Zheng to death, but even Ah Yu, a parrot, was worried and stayed with you all night. Now that things are better, you can't do anything reckless in the future, otherwise who will take care of Ah Yu?"
Tang Rui took the opportunity to educate Qiao Wenxue, reluctant to say anything too hurtful, but every word she spoke was full of concern. She had already wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still a little red.
What in this world is insurmountable, worth risking your life for?
"Yes, Sister Tang, I understand. I will never do it again." Having died once, Qiao Wenxue naturally knew that using herself to punish others would only cause her more pain.
"Ah Yu ~ come here, okay?"
She reached out her hand to Gong Yu, and the next moment, Gong Yu flapped his wings and landed on her fingers. His sharp claws gripped Qiao Wenxue's fingers tightly, and he stood steadily on Qiao Wenxue's hand.
"Thank you so much, Ah Yu. When I get discharged from the hospital, I'll definitely buy you lots and lots of your favorite foods, okay?"
She gently stroked Gong Yu's feathers with her fair and slender fingers, moving from the back of his head to his body, making Gong Yu feel so comfortable that he almost cried out.
"Hmph!" He snorted from his throat, seemingly in response to Qiao Wenxue's words.
Seeing that Qiao Wenxue was in good spirits after waking up, Xiao Zheng quickly took the salmon that had been prepared in the box and asked Qiao Wenxue to feed it to A Yu. As long as she didn't think about suicide after waking up, it would be best if A Yu could distract her.
Just as Qiao Wenxue and Xiao Zheng were teasing A Yu to eat salmon, Tang Rui noticed that Qiao Wenxue looked fine and earnestly explained the company's operations from last night until now.
"After a night of fermentation, I checked Weibo this morning, and the feelings of fans and casual observers towards you have turned to sympathy. Some people have even deliberately dug up the timeline of Lu Yuanzhou and Yan Wei's relationship and marriage to mock the two of them for maintaining a single persona for many years. In addition, the company hired professionals to investigate, and with the assistance of the police, they found out overnight that the fermentation of your and Lu Yuanzhou's matter a week ago was not so simple. Many of the public accounts that were caught were actually shills for online troll companies . Although the company cannot contact Lu Yuanzhou and Yan Wei for the time being, I am very sure, Wen Xue, someone wants to harm you and ruin you."
Mingrui Entertainment is a well-known company in the entertainment industry with its own connections. Is it normal for rumors about Qiao Wenxue to spread like wildfire across the internet overnight?
The company has been searching for evidence, and with the police getting involved yesterday, the investigation was completed even faster, revealing that those public accounts were run by a PR company. Someone spent five million to hire PR companies to smear Qiao Wenxue.
The so-called Lu Yuanzhou is just a pretext.
Hearing this, Qiao Wenxue already had a guess in her mind, but she couldn't figure out who was so cruel as to spend money to harm her.
"Sister Tang, I've only been in this industry for three years, and I've always been very respectful to my colleagues. I haven't offended anyone, so why would anyone want to harm me like this?"
After calming down, Qiao Wenxue considered all her rivals in the entertainment industry, and even her company's rivals, but she couldn't find anyone who was determined to ruin her.
After all, Qiao Wenxue is backed by Mingrui Entertainment Company. If it really is a rival company that makes a move, and Mingrui Entertainment Company finds out, then it might end up with both sides suffering heavy losses.
"The police station investigated, but they didn't expect the account that sent the money to be a blacklisted account. The trail went cold, and we can't find any follow-up results. We can only admit defeat for now. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Since this person wants to ruin you, they will definitely continue to make moves. As long as we pay close attention, we will definitely find the person who is really harming you."
Tang Rui couldn't understand who this person was who spent so much money to smear Qiao Wenxue. It couldn't be someone from the entertainment industry, because if it were, companies would have connections, and if they found out, they would definitely fight. If you ruin my cash cow, I'll ruin yours too. In the entertainment industry, who doesn't have some scandals? Even if you don't have any scandals, you'll still smear someone by fabricating scandals like this for Qiao Wenxue!
"Yes, I will definitely pay more attention." Qiao Wenxue nodded, also feeling that this time the darkness was completely unfounded.
If she had been targeted when she first debuted, it could have been attributed to mutual attacks within the industry. However, Qiao Wenxue is now the only female celebrity in the industry who takes the glamorous route, and she is not even in the same competitive position as other pale, young, and thin female celebrities. Whether it is TV series or endorsements, she will not have any overlap. So who is trying to harm her?
Gong Yu was also thinking about this. From Qiao Wenxue's complaints, he knew that Qiao Wenxue's work in the industry had been progressing well. Even if she complained about other male and female celebrities in the industry, there was no situation of falling out. So why was she the one who was harmed?
[Mission One is 30% complete. Qiao Wenxue's popularity with the audience is recovering. Please keep up the good work, Host!]
The useless, idiotic system is causing trouble again. Gong Yu ignored it completely, utterly despising this kind of cheat system that only issues tasks but doesn't offer any benefits.
But he still felt that Qiao Wenxue's name sounded familiar.
But looking at Qiao Wenxue's radiant superstar appearance, if I had seen her before, I would never have forgotten her. So why does this name seem familiar to me?
No matter how hard he tried to figure it out, he immediately opened his mouth as Qiao Wenxue fed him salmon again.
Take a big bite!
Salmon is so delicious!
"It seems Ah Yu likes salmon. How about I find you other raw meats to eat later?"
Seeing Ah Yu eating happily, Qiao Wenxue's sadness upon waking was also cheered up by the little parrot.
"Well, Ah Yu also said he doesn't want to eat birdseed. From now on, we'll feed this little guy the freshest raw meat at every meal. He likes salmon, and he'll definitely like fresh lamb or Australian beef too."
Xiao Zheng answered with a smile, thinking it was wonderful that Ah Yu could speak so well! This made Sister Qiao quite happy as well.
Tang Rui finally smiled when she saw this scene. After all, Qiao Wenxue had no more suicidal tendencies after waking up, and everything was getting better.
Suddenly remembering something, Tang Rui handed her phone to Qiao Wenxue.
"Here, this is your phone. Your reputation on Weibo has turned around now. You can go on Weibo and check it out. You can also post a message to let your fans know you're safe."
Qiao Wenxue was very well-behaved. When she turned eighteen, she signed a contract with Mingrui Entertainment Company. Boss Fang lent her one million yuan interest-free to treat her younger brother's illness. From the age of eighteen to twenty-one, she was managed by Tang Rui, a top agent who had produced a movie queen. Her Weibo, WeChat and any other means of communication were completely transparent to the company.
That's why Mingrui Entertainment was absolutely certain from the moment the incident occurred that their artist could not possibly be a mistress!
For this, President Fang even directly cursed on Weibo! It can be said that he is really protecting Qiao Wenxue, his cash cow.
Qiao Wenxue got her phone, and the touchscreen lit up automatically. She saw that the phone was empty. Her WeChat and Weibo accounts were managed by her agent and company, but her phone number was only used by very close people.
I lost consciousness around 8 PM last night, but now...
With a dejected expression, she tapped the call screen. At the top was the record of Tang Rui's successful call, as well as five missed calls from Xiao Zheng. Below that, at 7:35, was the call record between Qiao Wenxue and her younger brother Qiao Han, which lasted only three minutes in total
Qiao Wenxue, who had taken sleeping pills, attempted suicide by cutting her wrists after being cursed by Qiao Han for being dirty and despicable in the entertainment industry. However, Qiao Wenxue did not expect that after surviving the night, her closest relatives, her parents and younger brother, would not call her even once.
Before she knew it, Qiao Wenxue's face turned pale. Tang Rui saw this and immediately understood what Qiao Wenxxue was thinking, and comforted her.
"Wenxue, it happened too late yesterday, and your parents don't go online, so they probably don't know about it. Your brother is still in the hospital, so I thought about it and decided not to tell them. I was afraid they would worry about you. We'll tell them about it when you're feeling better."
Tang Rui knew that Qiao Wenxue's parents wanted her to leave the entertainment industry, but Qiao Wenxue had practically signed a contract with the company to sell herself into servitude. It was a ten-year management contract with annual income increases, but terminating the contract was impossible. The penalty for breach of contract would be at least 200 million yuan, which Qiao Wenxue couldn't afford even if she went bankrupt.
This contract isn't some opportunistic move by the company; it's a genuine contract aimed at cultivating the company's future pillars.
Only three years have passed, and Qiao Wenxue has retired from the entertainment industry? That's a joke.
Qiao Wenxue remained silent, her heart filled with bitterness. She knew that Tang Jie's words were just words of comfort. News of her suicide attempt must be everywhere outside. How could her parents not know? Her younger brother was so talented in computers, how could he not know about her suicide attempt?
They didn't call, probably because they thought she deserved it, since she brought it on herself.
Gong Yu noticed Qiao Wenxue's sadness, so he looked down at her phone. When he saw the name Qiao Han on the screen, he froze as if struck by lightning.
Qiao Han... Qiao Wenxue? ??
No wonder it looked so familiar! Gong Yu suddenly remembered! Wasn't this the romance novel his colleague had left at the company?
What was his/her name again?
Is it called something like " The Fake Heiress of a Wealthy Family Reborn"?
So turning into a bird isn't the most fashionable thing? He's actually a transmigrator from a book?!
