章 23: Scandalous Actor

"Mr. He, the actor from our company has been causing trouble again." The voice He An heard upon regaining consciousness was unfamiliar to him and he sat there processing things until he finally forced himself to respond.

"What has he done this time?" He An inquired to the stranger as he continued to have a separate conversation with the system in his mind.

"He was reported to be drinking in a bar and attempting to sexually harass the upcoming actress, Meng FeiFei. This news has already went viral online and the netizens are going crazy! What should we do?" The person who the system named as Fong Yunzhou cried out angrily.

"Send out a weibo post denying these reports and threaten to sue whoever says otherwise. You're dismissed." He An had just finished getting a brief summary of this world's novel from Six so he was quite certain this world was based off a modern setting.

The world's protagonist was an actor with more scandals than roles in movies, and he also had more anti-fans than loyal fans. The author of the novel was a sadist when writing, so rather than paving a steady career path for the protagonist, she instead started him off with several problems.

Unfortunately, she grew bored of writing not even four chapters in so she dropped it before the protagonist could solve the problems, and the world began to act on it's own.

He An rubbed his temples. What was the obsession with creating such horrible stories?

Six: [The protagonist's name is Song Jiahao. He's 19 this year and has a... um, unique personality! OvO]

He An: [Unique?]

Six: [You'll see~ ^o^]

He An was just about to probe further when he heard a bang from outside which was followed by the shouts of a young man. He finally understood the system's meaningful words.

"Jiahao, don't act rashly! The CEO is in there!" It was a woman yelling this time.

"Fuck off!" Song Jiahao cursed as he stormed into the office. His attention went to the man sitting at the desk and he glared at He An in frustration as he scowled.

He An was a bit startled before he cleared his throat to ask, "What brings you here?"

"What brings me here my ass! What the fuck was that weibo post?! Aren't you clearly blaming me!" Song Jiahao's words confused He An until the feisty actor shoved his phone into his face, showing the contents on the screen that clearly said 'although our company's actor is also at fault, if this situation continues to be shared online I hope everyone is prepared to be sued.'

"..." He An was speechless at what he read. He had clearly stated to deny the scandal, yet the management went ahead to confirm it? He would fire whoever was in charge of the management team later.

"Calm down. Besides, it is indeed a fact that you were present at the bar. As for whether you did those actions or not..." He An paused.

"You believe that shit on the Internet, don't you?" Song Jiahao laughed. "Who cares about my side, you all fucking think I'm this type of person! Fuck you!"

Six: [Wuwuwu! He's corrupting my ears! QAQ]

He An sighed.

"Mr. Song, I never meant to point fingers at you." His tone was formal as he continued, "Are you willing to explain what happened?"

"I was drugged." Song Jiahao simply scoffed.

"Is there any proof?" He An questioned. He was already aware that Song Jiahao wasn't at fault, but it was necessary to get the evidence to defend him.

"You don't fucking believe me after all!" Song Jiahao seemed provoked by his words and he began cursing again.

"...Let me finish. Are you willing to do a drug test to prove you were drugged? Everything will be confidential so that others won't say you took drugs on your own." He An explained his thoughts.

"Also, do you know the identity of the culprit?"

Song Jiahao bit his lip and turned his head. He An noticed that he was unwilling to speak and sighed again.

"Mr. Song, if you don't say who it is, it will be difficult to prove your innocence." He An reminded.

"Meng FeiFei." Song Jiahao grit his teeth and reluctantly said her name with a frown.

He An recognized that name to belong to the rookie actress who was gaining popularity for her youthful and angelic look. Six spoke in his head and informed him that she had been romantically chasing Song Jiahao with the other showing no interest, so she turned to this method instead.

Although the modeling world was corrupt, the entertainment industry was dirtier than he thought.

"That bitch claims I pursued her, but why would I be interested in ugly faces like hers? Has she seen herself?! She's had so many surgeries done yet dares to call herself a natural beauty, yuck!" While complaining, Song Jiahao's eyes fell on He An and his lips crooked into a smirk.

"Actually, CEO He is more of my type."

He An: "..."

"Please don't mess around. I'm a married man." He An pursed his lips and rejected Song Jiahao's advances.

"Who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows you're a single virgin. You aren't even wearing a ring." Song Jiahao sneered. "Anyways, I'm going to make sure that bitch gets her karma."

"We'll first take you to get a drug test and then investigate Meng FeiFei. Take care of yourself until the situation settles down." He An advised him. He added, "Could you use less profanity in the future?"

Song Jiahao was taken back but then burst out laughing as he left the office.

Six finally appeared in a physical form after Song Jiahao's departure and stared at it's host as if sympathizing with him.

[Host, isn't the difference between Qi Xiu and Song Jiahao like heaven and hell? Hehe. The face you made just now was hilarious! >v<]

"It looks like you've gotten bolder during these past 50 years." He An coldly smiled and Six froze.

[H-Host! Wait! I was just kidding, AHH! Don't throw me away!!!]

"Wait, he said I wasn't wearing a ring... where is the ring you said I could bring back?" He An seemed to suddenly realize this issue and immediately interrogated the system.

Six suddenly turned around before a tiny object appeared in it's hand. It was the ring.

[Host can store items in the system inventory! I didn't think you would actually want to wear it... ^_^]

He An ignored the system as he put the ring on and fondly gazed at it.

He missed Qi Xiu...
