“If you don’t respect others, don’t expect others to respect you.”

Yun Shishi then calmly said, “Director, I think Hua Jin is right. There’s no need for you to blame Xingze’s fans for the media’s wrongdoings. There’s even less of a need for you to insult Hua Jin with those despicable words.”

“You…”

The director gritted his teeth and glared at her.

But he only dared to glare at her.

Who was Yun Shishi?

She was Mu Yazhe’s wife.

And Mu Yazhe alone, was a man that even ten of himself could not afford to offend.

Hence, he could only swallow his anger after being slapped by her.

Yun Shishi returned to Hua Jin’s side and took his hand, saying. “Let’s go.”

Hua Jin’s pent-up anger dissipated considerably following this slap.

After leaving the television station building, he said gloomily, “Actually, I was quite disappointed when Gu Xingze quit the entertainment industry.”

“Feeling lost?”

“Uh huh, he had always represented my goal, he was my lighthouse! I’d always hoped that one day, I can replace him and become a popular idol. However, I feel rather disappointed that he has left the entertainment industry!”

Yun Shishi’s lips twitched for a moment and she said, “You can’t surpass him.”

“…?”

“No one can replace him. Besides, he is an all-rounder Heavenly King idol. Just his singing alone can crush you! You can’t even sing well, so how can you compare to him?”

“…”

“He had won an international music award previously. What about you? You even had to rely on post recording manipulation when you sang a movie theme song.”

“…” Hua Jin pouted. “Say no more.”

Heartache.

The video of Gu Xingze’s press conference was released through various channels.

He was the symbol of an era. During his ten years in entertainment, his glory had been peerless.

Fans had fantasized about journeying with him through his second and third decades.

Only to suddenly receive news of his departure.

All the fans were devastated by this shocking news!

Their overly fanatical behavior annoyed the other netizens. They began to criticize these brainless fans on a large scale.

The internet became a battlefield mess.

Yun Shishi had no idea how she felt about this matter.

However, her disappointment lasted a few days.

After saying goodbye to Hua Jin, she strolled along the streets aimlessly.

However, she did not notice that a black car was following behind her. She was so immersed in her own thoughts that she did not react to this car trailing just behind her.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and saw Gu Xingze’s name on the screen.

Xingze?

How is he?

Casting her thoughts aside, she quickly picked up the call and placed the phone to her ear. Gu Xingze’s calm and gentle voice came through from the other end.

“Shishi, it’s me.”

Stunned, Yun Shishi stopped in her tracks.

It had been a long time since he last addressed her that way.

Perhaps, calling her “Shishi” was too intimate and ambiguous, so he had always called her by her full name.

Now, the way he had so gently addressed her had really distracted her.

“Xing… Xingzhe…”

“Are you out on the street?”

He could hear some noise coming through from her microphone and the honking of a car. He guessed that she was on the street.

“Yes!”

She continued, “I saw your live press conference!”

“Uh huh?”
