The scandal between Shen Yu and Wan Sheng caused a slight ruckus nonetheless. Zhong Simo, who was sitting leisurely in his own office and had a sudden interest in Weibo’s hot searches, happened to see news related to their scandal. He lifted his brow as he read through the article rapidly. “What a touching love story.” Mary was organising the details regarding their collaboration with Tian Chen and was about to pass Zhong Simo some documents for him to look over when she suddenly heard her boss sighing out loud. She could feel her temples throbbing. Hearing that tone of voice, Mary wondered which idiot was it this time that provoked this person here who no one could afford to offend. Zhong Simo commented again before Mary could even ask, “Judging from the whole article, this masterpiece is probably written by a talented primary school kid who had taken inspiration from all the classic love stories from both ancient and modern times, from both locally and overseas. Unfortunately, this person had clearly extracted all the core essence from their inspiration while leaving behind a ruined mess.” “Boss.” “Hm?” “I can tell that you’re scolding someone but please use a language that a normal person can understand.” “I’m thinking of signing you up for a Chinese language training course,” Zhong Simo smiled as he pointed at his phone screen and said, “This headline is absolute trash.” With Zhong Simo’s tacit permission, Mary leaned over to glance over the content displayed on the phone and nodded in agreement. “Although my Chinese language level is, indeed, limited, I can still tell that this is a classic way of how a low-cost marketing social media account would write their articles.” “Shen Yu sure is a poor thing. Not only does he not have a reliable assistant and an operation team, but his popularity is also divided among other people the moment he begins to have a taste of it. There’s no way he’ll become popular with that team of his.” Zhong Simo did not comment on Mary’s criticism because he was still looking at his phone, his growing interest blatant on his face. Although he had yet to confirm his own feelings towards Shen Yu, he still wanted to get himself involved in this matter from both the perspective of his personal feelings, as well as the perspective of him wanting to pay back for Shen Yu’s kindness. “Boss, what are you still looking at?” Mary could not help but ask. “This female idol looks familiar. Where have I seen Wan Sheng before?” Zhong Simo lifted his brow as he tried to recall. He had a pretty good memory but it was impossible to remember every single face he had seen before. Hearing that, Mary unlocked the tablet that she always brought around and had a quick search before she answered, “Wan Sheng does not have much fame in the entertainment industry but she apparently has a financial backer.” “Ah, I remember,” Zhong Simo let out a sneer when he heard Mary’s words. He tilted his head and continued, “Half a month ago, one of the rich kids who hangs out with Yan Caizhu had a birthday party so I went for a bit to show my face. She was the one who those young masters brought that time, saying that she’s a popular streamer and can give them a live performance right then and there..”
