198: Chapter 198 Gossip about Female Celebrities

"Ding, increase in favorability from bound target Cheng Hong detected."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward of 5 Points."

"Ding, full favorability from bound target Cheng Hong detected. Congratulations to the host for receiving an additional reward."

"Would you like to claim the reward immediately?"

"System, I want to claim the additional reward."

"Ding, host's intention detected."

"Additional reward is being distributed..."

"Ding, additional reward received. Congratulations to the host for obtaining items."

"One bugatti la voiture noire redemption card."

"One Lamborghini Vision GT redemption card."

"One Maybach Exelero redemption card."

The three consecutive "ding" sounds of system rewards arriving made Lin Yi's eyes light up.

These three cars were world-famous, god-tier luxury vehicles with only one unit produced globally!

For cars of this caliber, it wasn't just about having money to buy them.

It also required a certain status and deep connections.

Cars like these were no longer just symbols of wealth.

They were a manifestation of comprehensive strength.

If a car represented a man's face when he went out, then these three one-of-a-kind, globally limited cars were undoubtedly the highest level of face.

Lin Yi looked at the three golden item cards with satisfaction and stored them in the system's item library.

At the same time, he lingeringly caressed Cheng Hong's soft, tender shoulders.

"Alright, you should head back."

"Your friends are still waiting for you in the private room."

Cheng Hong was very sensible.

Only now did Lin Yi understand why many men were willing to date older women.

Finding an older sister who was considerate and sensible was truly wonderful!

She was feminine and wouldn't be recklessly jealous like a young girl.

Lin Yi gently left a kiss on Cheng Hong's forehead before reluctantly leaving.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Cheng Hong put on her clothes and tidied up the messy bed.

Recalling the passion from just moments ago, Cheng Hong felt her face burning.

Although Cheng Hong appeared to be very popular among men, in reality, that was just an act for business.

The truth was that Cheng Hong had been so busy with work these past few years that she hadn't even had time to date.

Cheng Hong shyly bit her lip.

She hadn't expected that doing such things could be so pleasurable.

When Lin Yi returned to the private room, the girls were already slightly tipsy.

The state of being not quite drunk was when people were most relaxed.

The girls were chatting and laughing together animatedly.

When Lin Yi entered the room, he heard them gossiping about some celebrity, just like a group of close girlfriends.

Watching this harmonious scene, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a bit gratified.

"Who are you all talking about?"

"I want to hear it too!"

Lin Yi quickly joined in on their gossip.

"We're talking about Yang Muyi."

"The previous owner of that villa of yours!"

"Hey, by the way, Lin Yi, are you close with Yang Muyi?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

"I know of her, but she doesn't know me."

"Other than buying this house from her, I haven't had any other interactions with her."

"What happened to her?"

"I heard before that she went to Shanghai to open her own film and television company; it seems she planned to be her own boss."

"What's up, is there some new gossip about her now?"

When it came to such matters, everyone's curiosity was inevitably piqued; loving gossip was human nature.

Chen Yao leaned in close to Lin Yi mysteriously.

"We have a colleague at our law firm who specializes in entertainment industry cases."

"I heard him say that Yang Muyi's company seems to be on the verge of filing for bankruptcy."

"Previously, Yang Muyi raised funds for a movie, intending to use it to establish the reputation of her newly opened film and television company."

"However, in the early stages of filming, she couldn't secure enough investment."

"In order to secure enough investment, Yang Muyi had no choice but to sign a betting agreement with a boss in Shanghai."

"The agreement not only stipulated that Yang Muyi had to pay a large dividend after the movie was released,"

"Furthermore, it specifically stated that if the movie's box office didn't exceed one billion, Yang Muyi would have to refund double the investment amount."

Su Ming slapped her own leg.

"Yang Muyi was way too impulsive!"

"She dared to sign such an obviously unfair agreement!"

Chen Yao shook her head helplessly.

"There was nothing else she could do."

"I heard that Yang Muyi had a lot of confidence in this new movie of hers."

"She even specifically hired the top special effects team in the country."

Chen Fei chimed in from the side.

"I also went to see her movie with some friends a few days ago."

"I thought it was pretty good."

"But for some reason, both the box office and the critical ratings are very low."

"The movie has been out for almost a month, and the box office hasn't even broken 300 million."

"In a few more days, it will be pulled from theaters."

"At this rate, isn't Yang Muyi going to lose a huge amount of money?"

Chen Yao nodded.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Yang Muyi to lose everything so soon after striking out on her own."

Xu Dongqing sighed with emotion.

"It seems the entertainment industry is very deep."

"I used to think there was gold everywhere in the entertainment industry."

But Ning Yuxi seemed deep in thought.

"Why do I feel... that Yang Muyi must have been schemed against..."

Jiang Xiaowan quickly asked.

"Do you mean someone deliberately sabotaged her?"

A glint flashed in Ning Yuxi's eyes.

"Don't you all think all of this is too coincidental?"

"Given Yang Muyi's popularity, surely many people would have been optimistic about her new movie."

"How could she not secure any sponsorship before filming even started?"

"And just at that moment, someone was willing to give her money, but the condition was to sign a betting agreement."

"After the movie was released, it must have been targeted as well."

"Otherwise, a movie made with so much care wouldn't have only had a box office of over 300 million."

"I think this betting agreement was a trap deliberately set for Yang Muyi by certain people."

"The goal was to make her lose everything."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

A single accidental event might be a coincidence, but when so many coincidences come together, it's definitely someone's malicious arrangement.

It's just that Yang Muyi is in the thick of it and might not see it as clearly.

"Sigh, alright, let's not worry about this big celebrity."

"A starved camel is still bigger than a horse."

"With Yang Muyi's acting skills and popularity, even if she can't be a boss, if she goes back to being an actress, she can still live much better than the average person."

Lin Yi's words were very fair.

After all, Yang Muyi was previously able to buy a luxury villa worth over 100 million in Nanjing just from her own acting fees.

With such earning power, there was absolutely no need for ordinary people like them to worry about her.

At this moment, Lin Yi didn't know that he himself was about to be dragged into Yang Muyi's affairs.
