Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

229-232

"But Director Cheng..." Song Guanjing sighed. "Take a look at this." Song Guanjing showed one of the top trending articles on the internet to the Director.

Director Cheng glanced at it and smirked. "Guanjing, so you're worried about these things?"

"It's not that I'm worried, but the rumours on the internet nowadays are just too outrageous." Song Guanjing tapped the pages that led to another. The situation was getting out of control; Gu Xiqiao was definitely going to get defamed at this rate. "Director Chen, why don't you seem fazed by this?"

Didn't Director Chen treasure Miss Gu? Why was his reaction to this so lukewarm?

"If you're worried about this incident," Director Chen reached out his arm and knocked on the table. "Guanjing, think back to more than a month ago, what happened after some goons tried to defame you on the internet?"

Song Guanjing froze up. Why couldn't she recall what had happened?

That was the largest scandal that she ever got into throughout her entire career. Back then, she managed to catch wind of how powerful the people trying to crush her were; they were giants in showbiz, able to block out the sun with just their palms. It was also the reason why her "friends" had left her one after the other. Some had even tried to kick her while she was down.

At that moment, no one thought she'd be able to make a comeback.

Throughout the entire entertainment industry, only those working in the crew of Empire Under Siege had faith in her. At the peak of her despair, she requested to resign from the Cheng Zhou's cast.

The one who saved her ass at the final moment was Gu Xiqiao. They were closer to being "strangers" than "friends" back when this happened.

How could she ever forget such an important event?

"I see you still remember what happened. I don't see a reason for you to mull over it any longer." Cheng Zhou pointed at Song Guanjing's phone, which was showing a gossip article titled, "Dark Secrets About The Celebrity Surnamed Gu"

"Trust me, the reason why this situation's getting increasingly out of hand is because of how little Gu Xiqiao cares about it. Just wait till she gets bored of staying neutral, it would definitely turn into a bloodbath."

A look of anticipation and excitement surfaced on Cheng Zhou's face when he said that.

Being all concerned about this really was making Song Guanjing lose her composure. She recalled how terrifying it was when Gu Xiqiao used only twenty minutes to hack into the blogger's computer.

Song Guanjing finally was able to calm herself down. Then, a wry smile broke across her face. When Miss Gu finally goes on the offensive, these hackers would probably run to their mothers with tears flowing down their cheeks.

After all, Gu Xiqiao has always maintained a policy of non-interventionism. Should she intervene however, things would quickly turn sour.

She wondered how the bloggers who were trying to defame Gu Xiqiao would react if they knew that she was the greatest hacker in the world.

They were practically swinging their swords around foolishly in front of the God of War.

Song Guanjing's smile reflected her calm heart. After confirming with the Director that there wasn't any other part she had to play today, she changed into her clothes in the dressing room and called it a day.

"Sister Song," Sheng Yin bumped into Song Guanjing when she left the dressing room. Because of her blunder, talking bad about Gu Xiqiao in front of Song Guanjing, she did not dare to meet the latter face-to-face after that. Sheng Yin however, was surprisingly bold today. She initiated a conversation with Song Guanjing. "Did you see what's happening on Weibo today?"
