Chapter 690 - 211: Gene Drug
While chatting, it’s easy to dig up insider information."Last time I told you my friend died, and my friend’s cousin’s aunt also died. Do you remember, President Su?"
Su Xiaocai nodded, "I remember."
Without needing to explain again, Fei’er spoke directly: "I think I know who that aunt’s lover was."
"Who?" Su Xiaocai leaned in to listen.
Luo Min said softly, "That top lawyer of the Xue Family."
"Isn’t he under Xue Feiqun’s command?" Su Xiaocai recalled, that lawyer looked like an elite, giving the impression of being straightforward and decisive, not one to be sentimental.
He’s the ace of the Xue Family’s legal department, you wouldn’t expect him to have developed a secret relationship.
Fei’er said, "Actually, there’s no solid evidence, we... we just speculated ourselves. We tried to find out who recently became whose lover."
"This matter, they’re willing to tell you?"
Sitting in the bamboo grove, listening to the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves, it felt particularly serene and mysterious.
Luo Min unconsciously lowered her voice, fearing that a spy might be lurking in the bamboo grove, "They’re willing, just ask the questions tactfully. For example, on a filming set, I’ll ask an assistant to buy drinks for people nearby, then inquire who has a particularly powerful benefactor."
This question usually gets answered, they weren’t probing who the celebrity’s backer was, just who shouldn’t be offended.
In the workplace, everyone understands this.
There would always be some whispers, like A-list celebrities being the daughter of an industry boss; B-list celebrities attending some parties last night, having connections with some people there; C-list celebrities with an imposing presence, backed by a legendary figure in certain professions.
These are things that can be discussed as long as specific names aren’t mentioned, everyone speaks freely. Even if recorded, no specific names would come out.
Moreover, after these discussions, everyone usually understands who is on equal footing with whom, and if someone got offended, there wouldn’t be much worry about being blacklisted.
Knowing this at heart, naturally, the manner of speaking and interacting is different, this has almost become an unspoken rule.
Fei’er and Luo Min are in the middle stage, many have offended them, but none dared to make a move.
After gathering information, Luo Min and Fei’er would discuss privately who is more worthy of gossip.
"We found out that a recent up-and-coming female star became a lover of a certain lawyer. We sensed something strange about how a lawyer could protect a star, so we specifically inquired about it." A lover doesn’t specifically mean a mistress, nor a girlfriend; the relationship isn’t public, insiders know but treat it as a transaction.
Logically, both of them also learned about the Xue Family’s exclusive lawyer’s habit of keeping lovers.
Xue Feiqun is a bigwig in the entertainment industry, Xue Feiting’s business empire is massive.
This exclusive lawyer for the Xue Family also holds a small share of the stock, so naturally, he is highly valued by the Xue Family.
His identity is far from what was initially guessed, like a mercenary or bodyguard, which makes sense, as no mercenary or bodyguard earns so much to keep a string of stars.
Su Xiaocai mentioned, "Earlier, you said the words that came out before the lover’s death, ’Boss, the person is gone, how to handle it,’ are you sure they were exactly like that?"
"I swear, the deceased friend said it just like that, if he conveyed it wrong, then there’s nothing I can do." Fei’er, being naïve and somewhat foolish, used to speak carelessly, due to pressure, always wanting someone to talk to, now she is still naïve, but she has Su Xiaocai as a backer and best friend, she can share more secrets with her best friend first, then have Luo Min convey them to Su Xiaocai.
Perfect! This way, both actresses don’t have to hold back anything.
The lawyer, right? Indeed, being a lawyer, one can frequently visit the police station, could Xue Huiyi’s situation be related to the lawyer?
After saying this, Fei’er started on the second topic, "You know what? Xue Feiqun has a new lover again, but this time the lover is said to be different from the past, not a star, not a model, rather someone with a certain status, very imposing."
"Where did you hear that from?"
"The agent, he himself said he saw Xue Feiqun getting very close to a woman, the woman’s demeanor hinted at a status even higher than Xue Feiqun’s." Fei’er, with her keen intuition, tilted her head and said, "You can’t overlook an agent’s sixth sense, right?"
"Yes, you did well, tell me more." Su Xiaocai poured her a cup of tea.
The three of them continued to cheerfully exchange many other bits of gossip, as Su Xiaocai tried to find some useful clues amidst all the gossip.
When parting, Su Xiaocai signaled Xiao Wanzi to bring out the gift she prepared.
It’s only fair to offer some reward when others risk their lives probing secrets, a star, after all, is suited for gifts that can enhance outer appearances.
