Chapter 10

(WARNING: Contains mature content.)

Li Ming is furious, absolutely livid. Ever since he catches sight of the crafty gleam in the protagonist's eyes, he has Xiao Hong monitor her movements. It is the right thing to do as the system informs him of Wang Juan's sudden and frequent visits in Z Tech Industry building. Her excuse? Visiting an acquaintance who works there, handing out a lunch box, delivering a gift to said acquaintance, etc. All random and nonsense.

"What is wrong with this protagonist?" asks a glaring Li Ming. "Xiao Hong, is Wang Juan really the protagonist of this world? Why is she such a...slut?"

Xiao Hong trembles in fright. [Master, just because a person is called the protagonist doesn't mean they are morally good.]

Li Ming's eye twitches. "Is that so?" he deadpans. "Since this woman is clearly not any good, let me teach her a little lesson."

[Master, you can't kill the her!]

"Who says I am going to kill her?" retorts the white cat relaxing under the sun. "Xiao Hong, release a photo of that bitch and her lover in the internet. Make sure they are in an intimate position."

[As you wish, Master.]

-----

That night a shocking news spreads online.

"Li Jie and his manager, secretly dating!"

Under the headline is a photo of a man and a woman in a lip-lock, with one slender legs enticingly hooked on the man's hips. The photo is very clear and has high resolution so the netizens quickly confirm that the racy couple in the photograph are indeed Li Jie and Wang Juan.

Various reactions flood the internet with the majority being negative which come's from the many fans of the A-list actor.

<NO! How can it be?!? Brother Jie is tainted! So dirty, so dirty. *cries*>

<Isn't the manager older than him? Like maybe almost a decade? ewwwww>

<Dat bitch Wang Juan must hav seduced Brother Jie!!!>

<I can't believe this. This must be photoshopped. My Brother Jie QAQ>

<TAT NOOOOOOOOOOO>

<I am so disappointed with Li Jie. If he is in a relationship, he doesn't have to hide it or anything. But making out in public, that is just disgusting. Whoever took this photo, I thank you for opening up my eyes.>

There is a public outcry demanding the couple to come clean. Li Jie and Wang Juan hide in their separate apartments, not daring to be seen in public together. The A-list actor is furious and anxious. Furious that his affair comes to light and anxious with his fans reaction. What if his popularity declines from this scandal? Just thinking about it gives him a heart attack. He paces back and forth in his bedroom. Wang Juan has discovered him and has been with him all this time. While he sometimes hates her for pimping him, he knows that it's for his own good. Now, he is an A-list actor and has a firm standing in the entertainment industry. He doesn't have to sleep with producers or directors anymore. He has come to a decision and calls the owner of his agency.

Wang Juan, on the other side of the town, is not faring any better. She anxiously bites her thumb as she asks help from her hacker friend to delete the nasty article circulating online. While waiting, she turns on the TV and randomly flips the channel. She sees in the LCD screen a press conference being held by her boyfriend and the owner of their agency. She drops the remote control and vacantly watches, eyes wide in disbelief. How come I am not informed of this?

A day after the whole scandal blows up, the Star Entertainment agency hastily invites various media outlets and holds a press conference. Used to the flashing lights of camera, Li Jie greets the mass of reporters with a haggard but still smiling face. His countenance looks aggrieved and incurs pity from the female reporters in the crowd. Following him is the owner and director of Star Entertainment, Tan Jianhong. "Thank you, dear friends, for answering my call for an impromptu press conference," the middle-age man opens. "Today, I bring you Li Jie here to clear the issue regarding the photo that has been circulating online. He will personally answer your questions after giving his statement."
