Su Wan pouted as she touched the reddened spots on her body.
She recalled her feelings from earlier with a sense of shame. At first, she had actually enjoyed it a bit, but by the time she snapped out of it, she realized just how much advantage Jiang Cheng had taken of her. It was truly embarrassing.
Su Wan pulled up the quilt and covered her face.
This was the first time she had been intimate with a man. One could say they were only one step away from breaking the final line of defense. Jiang Cheng, that rascal!
Su Wan slowly savored what had happened earlier, and only after a long time did she fall into a dazed sleep.
When she got up the next day, Su Wan spent a long time mentally preparing herself in her room before hesitantly stepping out. However, she didn't expect her face to turn bright red the moment she saw Jiang Cheng.
It was all Jiang Cheng's fault. She couldn't sleep well last night and even kept dreaming.
The key was that they were those kinds of embarrassing dreams.
In contrast to Su Wan's current shyness, Jiang Cheng's expression was the same as usual.
He calmly scrolled through his phone while eating the breakfast the hotel had prepared for them.
He opened Social Media Platform to check today's hot search.
Sure enough, today's hot search was still Lin Ru.
However, compared to yesterday, today's hot searches about her were all negative scandals.

After Jiang Cheng finished reading, he handed the phone to Su Wan.
Su Wan took the phone with a look of confusion and began to read. Soon, the expressions on her face became increasingly varied.
After reading, Su Wan felt a wave of relief in her heart. She looked at Jiang Cheng and asked sweetly, "Boss, this wouldn't happen to be your doing, would it? How could so many scandals pop up overnight?"
"Of course. Did you really think our Xingchen Entertainment had nobody? Hitting you is the same as slapping my face."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's domineering words, Su Wan's heart instantly felt warm.
She never had this kind of treatment at her old company. Even if she was hit, she had to endure it silently. But now, Jiang Cheng had not only helped her terminate her contract but was also venting her frustrations for her.
Jiang Cheng had been kind to her, and Su Wan didn't know how she should repay him.
Su Wan: favorability value +5!
Suddenly, the fact that Jiang Cheng had taken advantage of her last night didn't seem so unacceptable anymore.
Su Wan secretly resolved to become popular again, to bring honor to Xingchen Company and make money for Jiang Cheng, so as not to waste his kindness toward her.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Cheng and said gratefully, "Thank you, Boss. I will definitely act well."
Jiang Cheng nodded. "Don't thank me so early. The good show has only just begun. These scandals alone probably won't be enough to make her completely crash and burn. We need to increase the pressure a bit more."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Su Wan's eyes widened.
She had already witnessed Jiang Cheng's financial power and knew that these capitalists had plenty of methods. As long as they wanted to, destroying a female star was as easy as pie.
Don't look at how stars seem glamorous on the surface, followed by millions of fans; so what?
The capitalist 'fathers' above them are the ones at the top of this circle.
Have you ever seen a star dare to challenge a capitalist father?
Those stars who fell from grace or were blacklisted either brought it upon themselves or offended some big figure.
If the fathers promote you and give you work, your value goes up.
If they target you, you won't even be able to get a single role, let alone appear on a variety show. Over time, your value will plummet directly.
Although Su Wan was a minor star, Lin Ru, as a senior in the acting world, had bullied the weak, settled personal grudges under the guise of work, and used filming as an excuse to hit her. Now that things had turned out like this, Su Wan did not pity her.
But as a fellow artist, Su Wan knew that if she didn't have a capitalist father like Jiang Cheng as her backing, wouldn't she also be like those leeks in this circle, waiting to be slaughtered?
Thinking this way, she felt somewhat emotional.
Jiang Cheng looked at Su Wan's slightly tragic expression and asked in confusion, "I'm the one targeting Lin Ru, so why do you look like you've been targeted by me too?"
"Boss, you can't say such things recklessly. I don't want to be 'handled' by you."
"You haven't even been 'handled' by me yet, so why are you in such a hurry to refuse?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly start making suggestive jokes, Su Wan's face immediately turned red.
Her charming eyes couldn't help but roll at Jiang Cheng. "Boss, I'm really curious how you manage to be such a rogue yet keep such a straight face?"
Jiang Cheng chuckled. "How else? Just having a thick enough skin is enough."
"..."
At this moment, in the conference room of Tianwang Entertainment Company in Magic City.
A slightly chubby Middle-aged Man was looking at the report on the screen with a face clouded with gloom.
He was the boss of Tianwang Entertainment Company, Cai Song.
Lin Ru was currently sitting below, anxious and uneasy, not saying a word.
Her Agent was currently frowning with a face full of worry, scrolling through the Social Media Platform data.
Lin Ru, who originally had over twenty million fans, had already lost several million in just half a day.
Moreover, the comments in the section were even more unbearable to look at.
Even the fans who were praising her for being professional yesterday had now turned against her, calling her malicious, a diva, and disrespectful.
Some long-time fans even came out to provide solid evidence that Lin Ru would hint for fans to send sky-high priced gifts during holidays.
Seeing Lin Ru's team remaining silent, the Middle-aged Man sitting at the head of the table finally spoke up impatiently.
"Are you all mute? You're usually quite talkative. Why is no one coming forward to explain to me what's going on today?"
Lin Ru looked at the Middle-aged Man with teary eyes and spoke aggrievedly, "President Cai, I don't know who is smearing me. Everything was fine yesterday. I don't know which bitch bought hot searches to blacken my name."
"Yes, I've been with Lin Ru the whole time. We've been filming recently, and nothing happened. For this to suddenly appear, it must be the work of some competitor."
"What happened yesterday? Why did you hit that supporting actress for no reason? Is it because of her?" Cai Song asked with a cold face.
"President Cai, how is that possible? She's just a minor character, a small artist from Guanghai Entertainment. She's been debuted for years and is still playing supporting roles. It couldn't be her. Besides, I was just filming normally. And yesterday's news wasn't much; although there were some bad voices, overall it was good. This matter not only has high traffic but is also a form of promotion for my new drama."
Hearing Lin Ru say this, President Lin didn't say anything more.
The more traffic a star has, the more valuable they are. Having topics of discussion is good, because sometimes being 'infamous' is also a form of fame.
