Chapter 302 - 306: Going to Catch X at the Hotel (5)
Of course, later on, it was Jian Anning who lent her money, enabling her to tide over the crisis and forging a deep friendship between them.
After completing college, Zhao Ziyin smoothly returned to Huaxia Country. Wang Shuoming, however, continued to stay behind at New York University for his postgraduate studies, and both thought they would never see each other again in the future. Little did they know, not long ago, Wang Shuoming returned to Huaxia Country and unexpectedly ran into Zhao Ziyin again, embarking on a furious pursuit of her!

The kind of woman she had always despised the most was those who climbed the social ladder using their bodies—of course, this isn’t to say that she was now truly relying on her body to advance. But, she was indeed trading on her reputation for prominence. Although she hadn’t made any substantial contacts, she became infamously known as the "Queen of Scandals" in the entertainment circle.
She now fully understood that in the entertainment industry, a place where notoriety could come from either good or bad publicity, as long as there was buzz, there was a path to fame! She needed money and didn’t want to sell her body, so she had to trade something else in exchange—like her reputation, for example.
