“Don’t worry. I’ll drink up,” Rosiley said as she took a deep breath and rose to her feet. She picked up the glass on the table and directly drank three glasses consecutively.
Everyone in the room cheered after she had downed the alcohol, but she frowned and returned back to her seat. “Please keep an eye on me later,” she told Yayoi.
Yayoi nodded and said, “Don’t worry.”
A female celebrity suddenly remarked, “Hmm? Isn’t this the reporter who had been involved in dating rumors with the young master of the Ji Group?”
“Yes, that’s her!”
“Haha, Miss Tang, I heard that there were many management agencies who asked if you’d like to debut. Lin Cheng and several investors are here today as well, so you should make full use of this opportunity if you want to make it big.”
“Exactly. You gained an enormous amount of exposure because of the earlier scandal. Usually, only A-lists would receive that amount of attention.”
Many guests started to egg her on, and some guests were trying to set her up to fail.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, “Miss Tang, you carry yourself very well, so I’m sure you’d make it big with a little bit of grooming. If you’re willing to dip your toes in this industry, shall we speak privately?”
“Dammit, that scumbag!” Yayoi was so angry that she turned pale.
This scumbag clearly had designs on Rosiley, and he was so shameless about it that it made her blood boil.
Rosiley looked very upset as well.
She knew that this was Lonny’s doing in a bid to humiliate her.
She tamped down her anger and said smoothly with a smile, “Thanks for your offer, but I’m not interested in entering the entertainment industry, so there’s no need to take this further. The female starlets who you’re trying to promote don’t seem to be gaining much popularity, so they might need your attention more than I do. There’s no need to turn your attention to me.”
Time seemed to freeze for a brief moment, and the female starlets who sat beside Lin Cheng looked embarrassed.
Rosiley ignored them.
She knew that those women maliciously tried to put her in a problematic position earlier, so she didn’t intend to let them off the hook either.
“Miss indeed has a strong character. However, since we all belong to the same industry, it is better if you do get help from others. Furthermore, I am attracted by your talent.”
Lin Cheng’s words were polite and direct. However, his pair of eyes always seemed to harbor an evil intention.
For a man like Lin Cheng, who was used to the superficial and pretentious women in the entertainment industry, Rosiley’s scholarly, elegant, and exquisite beauty was more attractive.
Hearing that, Yayoi became so angry that she wanted to kill the man. Rosiley was furious as well, but she still stopped her friend from acting rashly. “Thank you, Director Lin. However, even though we belong to the same industry, I will not flatter you like the other female celebrities to get an opportunity for fame. Perhaps we will never have any connections, ever.”
Rosiley’s words turned the atmosphere in the room a little cloudy. The glances everyone threw at her changed as well as if they were stunned by her bold act.
“Rosiley, even though this guy is extremely disgusting, we are still on his turf. Also, he has quite a background, will anything happen if we offend him…”
Hearing Rosiley’s rude rebuttal, Yayoi was shocked as well. Thus, she asked her out of concern.
Even though Rosiley’s rebuttal managed to reduce her anger, Yayoi didn’t forget that Lin Cheng’s arrogant and self-indulgent behavior was because of the support from his brother-in-law, the boss of Tanghai Entertainment.
Within the country, Tanghai Entertainment only paled in comparison to the REG. For Lin Cheng to be able to womanize unrestrained in the entertainment industry, his brother-in-law had to be behind him.
Whenever Lin Cheng acted in the past, he had never failed before. He never expected himself to be humiliated in front of the crowd because of Rosiley.
“This kind of person is so spoiled that he thinks that he could provoke any woman.”
Rosiley was unconcerned by Yayoi’s worries.
For a moment, Lin Cheng’s face changed color. It turned red, then green, and finally purple.
“Miss Tang, you have to accept Director Lin’s request since he thinks so highly of you. You must be so ignorant to rebut him!”
“What a shameless woman. How pure are you to be snatching a man from your sister a few days ago?”
The female celebrities mocked by her just now started to accuse Rosiley angrily.
Rosiley snorted and glanced at them. “I did not state any names. I cannot do anything if you admit that you were those celebrities that I was talking about.”
“Hmph, Rosiley, do you think I don’t dare to touch you? You should know how easy it is for me to make you lose your job! I shall give you a chance now. Apologize to me and stay with me obediently for one night, and I shall forgive your rude comment just now. If not… wait to be fired with your friend tomorrow!”
After numerous emotions flashed across Lin Cheng’s face, he decided to threaten Rosiley directly in front of everyone.
