228: Chapter 227 Posture 228: Chapter 227 Posture Liu Hun walked out of Starbucks and made his way to his car in the parking lot. Just as he was about to pull the door open and sit in the driver’s seat, Chen Qiuya suddenly grabbed him and, without explanation, started pulling him backward. “What are you doing?” Liu Hun suddenly felt bewildered and asked Chen Qiuya. Chen Qiuya, with an excited flush across her face, held Liu Hun’s face as if inspecting something intently, then finally said, “I’m moved! It’s all because of this face!” Liu Hun suddenly felt a shiver down his spine and quickly asked, “Normal position?” “Sit on a face!” Chen Qiuya said without further ado and stuffed Liu Hun into the car. “Don’t use that position... haha, all wet... mm-mm...” Liu Hun hadn’t finished speaking when his voice was drowned out by the gurgling sound of water and the vibration of the car. The next day, the hottest Entertainment Gossip TV station, Quan Quan Satellite TV, broke the news that Asia’s popular diva and red-hot superstar Shi Bi would be holding a press conference at the Century Imperial City Hotel in two days. Subsequently, all sorts of media, big and small, followed suit. Like hungry dogs jumping at food, they fully exercised their paparazzi instincts, taking the smallest bit of gossip and blowing it up with wild speculation. Overnight, news about Shi Bi inundated the scene. Every entertainment media outlet, big or small, was plastered with her stories. When people turned on their TVs and the Internet the next day, they were like seeing the first snowfall in the bleak midwinter. Just yesterday everything was green, but as soon as they stepped outside—wow! Everything was covered in white! Three days later, media reporters from all over, carrying all sorts of cameras, swarmed to the door of Century Imperial City Hotel. Each one of them was like a dog in heat, each trying to push their stick a little deeper in the fray. As a standing director of Hu Group and now a powerful stakeholder, Liu Hun could clear out the lobby of his hotel in a matter of minutes. The reason he chose this location was not only because it was convenient for him to use his power, but also to leverage the Hu Group’s name to boost Shi Bi’s fame further. It’s like fattening a pig in December—just keep piling it on, who would complain about the pig being too fat or the fame not big enough? Once Shi Bi’s hype reached its peak, announcing her as the endorser would make “Kazi” brand’s reputation explode like popcorn, just waiting to pop! Today, Liu Hun only used a small part of the security capacity of Century Imperial City Hotel. The majority was from the Lin Family, which he had reassigned. Now that he had set foot in the city and was standing firm, he thought of transplanting his own trusted forces. The disciples of the Lin Family had excellent physical abilities, which they lacked in terms of experience, manners, and so on, so they needed some training. Good steel should be made into a weapon head; only then can it be deadly! Although this was the first time the Lin Family’s disciples had seen such a scene, after a brief training by the head of security and being their first time in the big city, they were all cautious, so they were still capable of handling the situation. “Hey hey hey! What’s the push for? Don’t jab forward anymore! Do you think this is a buttock hole? The person hasn’t even arrived yet! Look at how excited you all are! You’re all such newbies! At a celebrity press conference, who doesn’t arrive an hour late? The bigger the star, the more they put on airs! Besides, who knows what might be announced?” “Look at you, pretending to be an old hand at the wheel! Do you know why out of so many hotels, Shi Bi specifically chose Century Imperial City? Let me tell you—the Hu Group is about to make a big move in the entertainment industry!” “Hey! I’ve heard another piece of gossip. This whole thing has her agent, Yan Xiaojun, totally confused! He doesn’t know anything about it! A buddy of mine who works at Quan Quan station got the news and immediately called Shi Bi! No answer! Then he called Yan Xiaojun, and guess what? He said he knew nothing about it!” “...” A bunch of paparazzi gathered together exchanging gossip, resembling cab drivers discussing the Central South Sea documents, each one sounding more mysterious than the last, yet none of them particularly credible. “Here she comes! Here she comes! Here she comes!” Suddenly a reporter in the crowd shouted out, and all the journalists rushed to the door where the cars were parked. A Lincoln Navigator slowly pulled up to the Century Imperial City Hotel entrance. The car door slowly opened, and a vintage pair of high heels decorated with blue and white porcelain engravings were the first to touch the ground, followed by a pair of long legs sheathed in almost invisible flesh-toned silk stockings. Shi Bi emerged from the Lincoln, dressed in a tailor-fit cheongsam. “Click-click-click-click-click...” For a moment, the flashbulbs went off like wild boars in a kitchen, relentlessly flashing, creating an endless sea of light. It really didn’t stop. Shi Bi’s delicate and slender fingers sported a Cartier diamond ring, her hand holding a Louis Vuitton purse. Each smile on her face was carefully chosen before being displayed. She was a walking display of luxury, refined as the bright sun in June—anyone who stared too long would be blinded by her brilliance! “Wow! The carefully dolled-up Shi Bi really looks worlds apart from the one we saw before! Absolutely dazzling—she was sobbing in my arms three days ago like a tearful mess! Who would’ve thought it was her!” Chen Qiuya, standing next to Liu Hun, expressed her sentiments. Indeed, in her mind, the saying ‘clothes make the man just as saddles make the horse’ suddenly made a lot of sense! Liu Hun, on the other hand, had the complete opposite thought; he felt that the current Shi Bi resembled a carefully polished vase—no matter how he looked at her, she seemed like a character on a stage with a whip that could travel thousands of miles with a mere flick—just fake! He also believed that the Shi Bi who could cry and laugh, who possessed a real personality, was far more beautiful. Chen Qiuya shifted her gaze away from Shi Bi and asked Liu Hun with some concern, “Do... do you think he will really come today?” “Let’s just wait and see,” replied Liu Hun with a smile, giving Chen Qiuya a reassuring look before heading off toward the back of the press conference. Chen Qiuya hurriedly followed him; she was genuinely worried that if the crazed paparazzi barged in, she’d be overwhelmed. Liu Hun had organised this press conference with the Head of Security, the Security Manager, and the hotel manager. The Century Imperial City Hotel had handled various grand events before, so managing this press conference was well within their capabilities. Soon enough, Shi Bi was seated calmly in front of the microphone, her face still sporting the goddess’s standard smile of sunshine and love. The reporters, separated by security and the Lin Family’s disciples, all waited for Shi Bi to speak, fingers poised on their camera shutters, quieting down like chicks waiting to be fed, ready for Shi Bi to drop some bombshell news. Shi Bi’s lips curled up at the corners, her eyelashes gently lowered, her allure and approachability skyrocketed several points before she used a soft voice to say, “Thank you to all the media friends who came today; thank you for your concern. I’m holding this press conference here to announce a piece of news.” Silence! Absolute silence! The paparazzi were so eager that they seemed ready to clear their ears to hear what Shi Bi was about to say next. Shi Bi had faced bigger stages than this, so a modest press conference like this was nothing. She continued with a smile, “I would like to officially announce that, starting from today, I am terminating my manager contract with Yan Xiaojun! I am leaving his studio! I will start anew! I, Shi Bi, will continue to move forward in the entertainment industry I so love, bringing everyone more, better, and superior works! I also hope that you will continue to support me steadfastly on my journey!” As soon as Shi Bi finished speaking, the reporters launched a barrage of long and short lenses at her. In the eyes of these keen-smelling hounds of reporters, Shi Bi’s news wasn’t just a simple change of managers; it surely involved a conflict of interest with her manager Yan Xiaojun! Once there’s a conflict of interest, it’s expected that a spectacular drama of tearing each other apart would unfold. Needless to say, it would lead to relentless mud-slinging and spilling of secrets, like fighting hens scattering feathers everywhere. “Miss Shi! May I ask, upon deciding to leave Yan’s studio, do you plan to start your own agency or do you already have a new contract in place?” “Miss Shi! You chose to hold today’s press conference at Century Imperial City Hotel—is this indicative of a forthcoming collaboration with Hu Group? Does Hu Group plan to fully enter the entertainment industry?” “Miss Shi! There are rumors that you and Yan have been at odds for some time now, with reports of conflicts of interest emerging. What do you think about these rumors?” “...” Obviously, the paparazzi weren’t satisfied with just Shi Bi’s solo act; they began to fire off questions like frogs in a pond opening their mouths wide. “Shi Bi! Do you even know how to write the words ‘ungrateful wretch’?!” Suddenly! A loud voice echoed from the midst of the reporters, disrupting the crowd like a duck among a pond of frogs, attracting everyone’s attention with its raucous quack. “It’s Yan Xiaojun! It’s Yan Xiaojun!” An eagle-eyed reporter recognized Yan Xiaojun on the spot. In no time, like a magnet attracting scrap metal, Yan Xiaojun drew all the cameras to himself, with all the reporters snapping pictures frantically. And like a peacock amidst chickens, he relished the feeling of capturing everyone’s attention! Yan Xiaojun received a fax from Shi Bi the day before severing their managerial ties with a lawyer’s letter, and he immediately bombarded her with a torrent of calls. But no one answered, and he couldn’t find her anywhere, then followed the explosive news of the press conference breaking on Entertainment Gossip. He knew Shi Bi intended to make this news public. Yan Xiaojun was not someone to mess with. Now that he couldn’t have Shi Bi and was kicked to the curb, he couldn’t just swallow his pride. So, he took advantage of everyone being present at this press conference to expose all of Shi Bi’s dirty laundry! “What I can’t have, I will completely destroy!” Yan Xiaojun thought coldly as he walked toward Shi Bi under the glare of the flashbulbs. All the while, he drew out a greasy paper packet clenched in his hand and said with scorn, “Hmph! Shi Bi! Ungrateful bitch! Slut! Did you think you’re really a star shining bright? Did you think you’re the immaculate Bai Lianhua in the public’s eye?!”
