233: Chapter 232: Exposed 233: Chapter 232: Exposed Everything was ready; all that was missing was a gust of wind! So, Liu Hun spoke, “My media friends waiting outside, I am Ms. Shi Bi’s agent, Liu Hun. Ms. Shi Bi is indeed here. She had just taken some medicine, so it was inconvenient for her to speak.” Upon hearing Liu Hun willingly walk into the trap, Li Liurou’s heart instantly smirked and said, “Is Bi better now? I wonder if she can accept an interview with our media friends?” “No problem,” Liu Hun replied, and then added, “This place is small though, I hope our media friends can move back a bit so as not to rush into the office and cause chaos.” “Do we really have to go out like this?” Shi Bi asked Liu Hun, feeling frightened. Anxiety coursed through her heart. Liu Hun stretched out his right hand to hold Shi Bi’s and said, “You said you trust me! This is our first step! We must go out! Show them the aura of a goddess!” “But my face...” Shi Bi still lacked the courage, a face like a toad’s skin—how could she face the media? With composure, Liu Hun told Shi Bi, “With me by your side, you are the queen of pop! No buts! Remember your pride, and remember I am Liu Hun! Let’s go!” Qi Force infused her body! Skin rejuvenated! Omnipotent! “Clack!” The office door was flung open, time seemed to move in slow motion like in a movie. Liu Hun, leading a veiled Shi Bi, stepped out of the office tentatively, her super-diva presence magnified a hundredfold under Liu Hun’s guidance. “Bi! I’ve missed you so much! What on earth happened? Let me see your face!” Li Liurou called out coquettishly and lunged for Shi Bi, taking advantage of her moment of distraction to rip off the veil covering her face. Holding Shi Bi, Li Liurou couldn’t stop the maniacal laughter inside her. She could imagine how shocking it would be for the media to see that hideous face exposed! Seconds passed, and Li Liurou grew puzzled—why were there no camera shutter sounds? Could it be that Shi Bi was so hideously ugly that everyone was stunned? As she pondered, Li Liurou released Shi Bi and stepped back to look... A heavenly countenance, a beauty unparalleled! Instantly, Li Liurou thought of the first time she saw Shi Bi introduced by Tianxing Company in a magazine, the eight big characters that took up half the page, marking the official debut of the pop queen Shi Bi. The goddess’s aura, magnified a hundredfold by Liu Hun’s lead, left all media completely awestruck. Work efficiency, the ability to snap photos in a fraction of a second, the professional detachment from external disturbances—all were obliterated by Shi Bi’s beauty! This scene left them even more stunned than when they first saw Shi Bi. “Click!” It was only when the first person realized they were a journalist and that they should be taking photos, that a cascade of shutter sounds followed, competing with one another. They became the best commentary for the “Superstar Shi Bi.” Li Liurou never imagined such a turn of events, her face frozen into a smile uglier than tears, becoming the perfect foil to Shi Bi under the burst of flashbulbs. Though she didn’t know what was going on, Shi Bi was clear that Liu Hun had something to do with it. Now that her face had returned to normal, the aura of the goddess was unstoppable. “Thank you all for your attention to Ms. Shi Bi,” said Liu Hun politely to the reporters, aware that time was short and they couldn’t delay. The borrowed Qi Fortune was fading, and Shi Bi must not show her true form. “We are here for some minor matters concerning personal privacy that we prefer not to disclose. Since we’re at the Joli Cosmetic Clinic’s place of business and this is not Ms. Shi Bi’s personal press conference, responding to all questions here seems a bit impolite. We hope you understand if we only take three questions.” “Why did Ms. Shi Bi come here if she didn’t have cosmetic surgery?” someone asked. “As I mentioned before, it’s a matter of personal privacy and not something I can discuss,” Liu Hun replied earnestly, taking the opportunity to jab at Li Liurou, “Like how Miss Li Liurou is also here for a touch-up, right? But our Bi is very confident in her figure and doesn’t need to cover up her flaws with external means. There’s your first question.” Liu Hun’s response was sharp, a masterful blend of courtesy and cutting criticism. Li Liurou, staring at Liu Hun’s dead-pan face while he delivered the sarcastic remark, felt an urge to slap him across the face. “Mr. Liu, the agent, since Ms. Shi Bi hasn’t had her face ruined, how do you explain the photos in Entertainment Weekend? Entertainment Weekend reported that it was because of using Kazi Company’s cosmetics that caused it. What do you have to say about that?” Finally, they were getting to the crux of the matter! Liu Hun smirked inwardly and then answered the reporter, “Do you think Ms. Shi’s face is ruined? Your own eyes won’t lie to you! If your own eyes are truthful, then who is trying to fool you? Lastly, I am eager for you to prove the effects of Kazi Company’s cosmetics with the front-page photos in tomorrow’s paper!” Liu Hun’s speech was like performing Tai Chi, looking gentle and soft without much force. Yet, hey, he managed to trap everyone in just a few moves! What was supposed to be a pressuring question for Shi Bi turned into a promotion for Kazi Company’s products instead! This was exactly the effect he, Liu Hun, was aiming for! Li Liurou was so furious that she felt an itch in her roots, dying to jump on Liu Hun and bite him twice. She couldn’t just stand by and watch this lovey-dovey couple advertise and promote themselves. Seizing the opportunity, she jumped out and said, “Sister Bi, I always felt that you were stiff as a board when you were at the company, singing all your songs standing still. I’m really worried that if you move around a bit, you might get hurt. Please be careful.” “May I ask who you are?” Liu Hun asked deliberately, as if puzzled. Clearly, this little chick was trying to steal the spotlight. “I am Li Liurou, an artist from Tianxing Company, who can dance and sing, and has been given the nickname ‘Hot Dance Princess’ by media friends. I’m a little embarrassed by the honor,” Li Liurou spared no effort in promoting herself. “Previously, Miss Shi was at Tianxing Company, probably considering the feelings of other artists there, so she didn’t bounce around. Let me reveal in advance that Miss Shi’s next work will include high-energy singing and dancing. I hope some artists who only know how to bounce around won’t feel too pressured and will learn well,” Liu Hun said to Li Liurou with a smile. When dealing with women, apart from being tough in bed, it was better to be gentle at other times. Listening to these words, Li Liurou felt her lungs were about to explode with anger. Just as she was about to retort, a reporter beat her to the punch and asked, “Manager Liu, we feel that Miss Li Liurou seems to be very concerned and kind to Miss Shi Bi. She didn’t know earlier that Miss Shi was here, but when she heard, she rushed over. However, listening to your exchange, there seems to be some untold secrets between you, and was your reference to an artist who only knows how to bounce around meant for Miss Li Liurou?” The reporter’s question echoed what all the reporters wanted to ask. The media loved to catch the conflicts and entanglements between artists, and that was also what the audience enjoyed watching. Once the reporter finished asking, everyone fell silent, waiting to see how Liu Hun would respond. “Is Miss Li Liurou only capable of bouncing around? Of course not. So it’s not about her, nor about anyone in particular. Besides, Miss Li Liurou must have other skills, not just bouncing around, though I’m not sure what those are,” Liu Hun answered very seriously. Although it was a clarification, anyone would perceive it as sarcasm. Yet, no one could find a way to counter it. Listening to his blatant mockery, Li Liurou was almost grinding her teeth to pieces, yet she was forced to wear a smile, as awkward as it was. “As for Miss Li Liurou rushing over here immediately after hearing about Bi’s presence without prior knowledge...” Liu Hun started and then abruptly stopped. Then he turned to the questioning reporter and said, “I just remembered something. My phone is out of battery. May I borrow yours for a moment?” The reporter was somewhat baffled by Liu Hun’s request, and amidst the scrutiny of the crowd, handed over his phone to Liu Hun. Taking the reporter’s phone, Liu Hun flipped to the revealing text message he had received and showed the screen to all the reporters, saying, “This is the number that sent you the tip-off. I’m sure you all received it. It reads: ‘Shi Bi’s face is ruined, currently at Liangli Cosmetic Clinic.’ This text must have been sent by the informant. I’ve now got him on the line, please be quiet.” Immediately, Li Liurou’s complexion changed drastically as she reached into her pocket... “Buzz buzz buzz! Buzz buzz buzz!” The vibrating sound was not loud, but the room was so quiet that it clearly reached everyone’s ears. “If Miss Li Liurou wants to say this is just a coincidence, then I’ll hang up now, and we should be able to hear the vibrating stop. Let’s try it,” Liu Hun said as he closed the reporter’s flip phone. As expected, the vibration from Li Liurou’s pocket immediately stopped. “I’ve now answered the third question. Thank you, media friends, for your concern for Bi. I believe she won’t let you down, nor will she fool you. I think you all might be more interested in interviewing Miss Li Liurou now. I won’t delay you any longer. Goodbye.” After finishing, Liu Hun didn’t wait for the media reporters to react and left the clinic with Shi Bi. He had done everything he needed to do and had no interest in lingering. After answering the three questions, everyone knew that these tight-lipped managers wouldn’t say an extra word, so no one chased after Liu Hun and Shi Bi. Instead, they all pounced on Li Liurou. “Miss Li, how are you feeling right now? Do you have anything you’d like to say?” “Why did you deliberately leak information and then pretend to care about Shi Bi in a fake and innocent way?” “The message clearly stated that Shi Bi’s face had been ruined. Why is the result different? And why did you lie to the media?” “Miss Li Liurou, don’t you feel like you’re playing games with the media and using them to smear Shi Bi?” “Shi Bi has already left Tianxing Company. Are you doing this out of revenge or to pull her down so you can rise? Don’t you realize that looks are not your strong suit?” “...” Faced with the media’s intense questioning, Li Liurou could no longer maintain her facade. She shouted furiously, pushing through several reporters before running out of the cosmetic clinic.
