Chapter 42 - 40: Stars Twinkling Brightly
Operating on her last shred of hope, Lin Feifei dialed the number with trembling fingers, only to find that it was turned off; unbeknownst to her, President Gao was also unable to protect himself at that moment.
Online, news of Lin Feifei’s alleged sexual favors swamped the media; she hadn’t dared to leave her house in three days, afraid of the strange looks from passersby.
The company seemed to have abandoned her, offering no explanations or clarifications. Just as netizens questioned whether Starshine Company was involved in procuring, they issued a statement declaring all acts were done independently by the artist, effectively nailing Lin Feifei to the chopping block.
However, the matter was far from over. On the third night at eight, netizens once again spotted a post by the "entertainment circle inspector" on Weibo.
This time it involved multiple explicit photos with different male and female characters. Although the female celebrities’ faces were blurred, simultaneously, two female artists issued statements admitting those were their photos and insisted they had been coerced.
Capable netizens quickly dug up information, finding that these women were both former artists under Starshine Company and previously managed by Du Siqi, Lin Feifei’s agent.
This news indeed caused a huge uproar.
Du Siqi was a famous agent under Starshine Company. Was this act of procuring and threatening artists directed by his superiors? How deep does the mire run within Starshine Company?
