Chapter 552: An innocent setback

Translator: 549690339

Chi luexi adjusted her state of mind. She felt that she could not be defeated by her own emotions. No matter what happened in life, she had to face it positively and recover from her negative emotions as soon as possible. She would continue to work and work hard. This was a normal life.

Recently, sister Ming had told Chi leixi that she had taken on another major drama. It was a period drama and a TV series. The script was not bad and she was in discussion with the director, but the contract had not been finalized yet.

Early Monday morning, Chi Luoxi took the time to wash up and prepare to go to the company after breakfast. Sister Ming said that the director had basically agreed and decided to let Chi Luoxi act as the female lead in the film. Next, it was time to meet and sign the contract.

Chi luexi changed into a formal business outfit and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. She smiled confidently, feeling that she was born to be an actress and that she was cut out to play the female lead.

Sister Ming came to pick her up early in the morning. Chi yaoxi walked out when she heard the honking sound.

She pulled open the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. Chi yaoxi suddenly felt that something was wrong. Sister Ming was always smiling. Why was she looking so gloomy this morning?

Chi leixi made a guess. Wasn’t everything going quite smoothly?

Before she could ask anything, sister Ming started complaining,”

“Luo Xi, how many times have I reminded you to be careful in public? you’re different from others. If the same thing happened to other actors, no one would notice it. But when it happened to you, the problem is big!”

Chi luexi was stunned by sister Ming’s question. She asked in surprise,”

“Is there a problem? And it’s blown up?”

Sister Ming glanced at Chi yaoxi and said impatiently,”

“Go online and check it out. You’ll understand once you see it. I don’t need to say anything. I received a call from the director early in the morning. He said that there’s a lot of trouble on the internet and it’s not good for the positive characters in the film.”

Ah? Chi luexi was stunned when she heard this. What exactly happened that caused such a huge impact?

There were many rumors and hype on the internet, so why were the people still interested in these?

Chi Luoxi took out her phone and went online to take a look. She was also dumbfounded.

Pictures of her and Deng Mingyao were spreading like wildfire on the internet, accompanied by a verbal description.

This was the scene at the party Banquet yesterday. He should have drunk too much, but why didn’t he have any impression of these contents?

A few of the pictures were indeed quite outrageous. One was of Chi yaoxi in Deng Mingyao’s arms, another was of the two of them looking at each other as they toasted, and the last was of her leaning on Deng Mingyao’s shoulder on the sofa, with him reaching out and putting his arm around her shoulder.

Why would there be a picture of a gathering? And he had taken such a clear picture of his ugly side.

Chi leixi looked at the number of views again. Oh no, it had only been posted for less than half a day and the views had already reached tens of millions. Moreover, it was still being forwarded and commented on crazily.

Chi luexi frowned tightly and her mind went blank. Things had gotten out of hand again.

If it wasn’t so serious and was just a simple hype, sister Ming wouldn’t have been so angry. This had obviously seriously affected her personal image.

For a moment, she was confused and didn’t know what to do. Once again, without her knowledge, she was scolded and made it to the hot search.

“Take good care of your handsome boyfriend. Please enjoy yourself, miss Chi!”

“In and out of the show, the act is real. Changing boyfriends is like changing clothes!”

“As expected of a first-class Actress. She can adapt to different types of men. Please, this isn’t acting!”

……

Only a small number of comments said that the male and female leads were a good match and supported them.

The netizens scolded her in all sorts of ways, making Chi leixi feel as if she had once again accidentally stepped into an abyss.

“Sister Ming, I ...”

Chi leixi was about to explain when sister Ming’s stern voice interrupted her.”

“You what you! There’s no need to explain, what’s the use of explaining to me? Go and explain to the netizens and the director!

Was there any use in explaining now? This time, the impact will be huge, so you should be mentally prepared!”

Chi Luoxi fell silent and did not speak anymore.

She was trying to recall what had happened that day. Why did she drink so much?

She thought of Li Jingjing again. If she hadn’t seen that photo, she wouldn’t have been so affected if he had been alone with that woman.

Wasn’t this human nature? AI! Chi Luoxi sighed deeply in her heart.

This was the price to pay for being a celebrity, a popular A-list celebrity.

At the same time, another question came to Chi yaoxi’s mind. Wasn’t the restaurant chosen at the last minute for the gathering not disclosed to the public? was it for the sake of the production team’s activities and to avoid the pursuit of the unscrupulous paparazzi?

Didn’t they say that there were security guards at the venue, that outsiders were not allowed to enter, that the restaurant was very safe, and that everyone was having fun together?

If not for the paparazzi, who took those photos and posted them on the internet? After taking a closer look at the photos, one would know that they were taken at close range. The person who took the photos should be at the scene.

Chi luexi carefully recalled the crew members and felt that she had a good relationship with them. No one would target her like this.

Unable to figure out what was going on, Chi Luoxi shook her head. Forget it, let’s talk about it in the office.

“Sister Ming, you’re saying that the director called you early in the morning?”

“Yes, the role for the historical drama has already been decided and you’re going to be the female lead. I went there today to sign the contract, but I didn’t expect you to be involved in so many messy things. The director said that this would have a positive impact on the character’s image. ”

Chi luexi was a little flustered. The female lead role in this historical drama was a character that she really wanted to create. She felt that she would definitely be able to play it well and was already prepared for it. She did not expect such a sudden embarrassment.

“Then, what did the director say? Are you saying you want to change people?”

Chi leixi asked hesitantly, then nervously waited for a reply.

Sister Ming was also unhappy and said impatiently,”

“Don’t ask me, I don’t know. It’s not up to me to decide. You go and explain to the director yourself!”

They didn’t say anything along the way, and the car soon arrived at the company.

Chi yaoxi and sister Ming prepared tea and sat in the office waiting.

More than half an hour had passed, but the director was still not here.

Sister Ming looked at her watch and said anxiously,”

“Didn’t you just say that you’re on your way? why aren’t you here yet?”

She didn’t want to rush the director, so she had to wait for another half an hour.

Chi luexi remained silent. She could no longer remain calm and her mind was filled with anxiety.

Why has everything been so bad recently? She couldn’t control her feelings, couldn’t follow her heart, and her career had suffered an innocent setback. She was scolded by others and became a hot search.

Sister Ming sighed when she saw Chi yaoxi sitting there listlessly. It wasn’t good to say more. Things had already come to this, and she wouldn’t feel good if she said more.

It was already 9:30 am. Sister Ming couldn’t help but call the director.

The phone rang a few times before someone picked up.
