Chapter 210 - Obstructing Bai Qingyue (2)
Su Xiaofei narrowed her eyes on that. Indeed, something had changed again. The scandal about Qin Muyao should happen a year from now, but why did it happen earlier than the original timeline?
She lowered her head and considered the things she had done so far. There was nothing that could directly connect her to Qin Muyao and the things she had changed since her rebirth shouldn't be enough to change the course of the events in Qin Muyao's life.
Qin Muyao was twenty-one years old right now, and he was popular for the young adult TV drama he starred in. However, when his girlfriend fell pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl a year from now, Qin Muyao had refused to take responsibility and wasn't willing to admit that he had fathered his girlfriend's child.
Because of this, he was subjected to public scrutiny and hatred. His endorsements and projects were all pulled out and given to other people. Despite this, Qin Muyao still vehemently refused to admit that he was responsible for his ex-girlfriend and her child.
With his ex-girlfriend's family's influence, he was pressured and was forced to leave the entertainment industry. The fame and bright future that was waiting for him was gone in just the blink of an eye.
Five years later, the said ex-girlfriend would confess that she had wronged Qin Muyao, and he wasn't the father of her child. However, such admission was already too late as he had lost not only his life, but also all the chances to clear his name.
This scandal had forever tainted his name and wouldn't be easily forgotten by the public. Qin Muyao, whose reputation had been tarnished severely by the scandal and had lost face to see his own family, was found dead in his apartment. He had apparently hanged himself.
Su Xiaofei didn't take pity on Qin Muyao, but she hated people like his ex-girlfriend. That shameless woman had accused the wrong person, ruined his name in public, and yet acted like she never did anything bad after her admission. She only admitted it because the real father of the child had come out and was eager to fight with her in court for their daughter's custody.
"So Qin Muyao is technically free from any agency now?" She asked Fang Yi.
"In a sense, yes. There isn't any agency who's willing to take him in because of the recent scandal."
"Uncle Fang, since I want to follow in my Mama's footsteps, would you please allow me to recruit Qin Muyao for Bluemedia? I'll be the one responsible for him." Su Xiaofei requested.
The man looked at her in disbelief, wondering if he had heard her right.
"But Feifei, the issue about him is very serious. Even his previous management wasn't able to protect him from it."
"That's because they were afraid of offending his ex-girlfriend' family. I believe that there's still a chance to save his name and career, only if we are willing to make an effort to do it."
Fang Yi stared at her and considered their options. Su Xiaofei was only supposed to make an observation at Bluemedia to familiarize herself first, but now, she was asking to become a manager. He wasn't sure if Yun Qingrong would agree to her daughter's request, given how serious the matter about Qin Muyao was.
"Feifei, I cannot give you an answer right now. You should discuss this with your mother instead." He answered her truthfully.
Fang Yi could sense that Su Xiaofei was serious, but her inexperience was enough to make one decline her request. Even if they managed to clear Qin Muyao's name, it would also mean that they would offend his ex-girlfriend's family.
"Alright. I will inform Mama, but I hope that Uncle Fang will support me in the future." Su Xiaofei smiled before their inspection started.
Fang Yi visited each department with Su Xiaofei following behind him. While he received reports from each department head, the other employees couldn't help but glance at the pretty young woman who was tailing him.
"Chief, who's that woman with VP Fang? Is she a new assistant here?" Someone asked the design department's head.
"Who knows? She doesn't look like she's his daughter." The department head answered.
"Eh? I heard VP Fang didn't have any children with his deceased wife, so who is that?"
Su Xiaofei didn't mind the stares she was receiving and observed with a polite smile on her face. However, her mind was already thinking of several ways to strike a deal with her mother.
In order for her to save Qin Muyao, she needed to lay out a foolproof plan as soon as possible. Each passing minute would only let him sink deeper into the quicksand waiting to devour his entirety. Perhaps she should meet this person first before doing anything.
Su Xiaofei needed to see if Qin Muyao was worth the trouble. She needed to make sure that he would become a star that could bring her lots of money in the future.
Once she and Fang Yi were done, she received a message from Lu Qingfeng that said that he was treating her for dinner and that it was almost time for them to meet Mo Yuan in person, hinting that it was almost time to proceed with their plan.
"Uncle Fang, if there's nothing else, can I leave now? Xiao Feng is waiting for me."
The man gave her a knowing look and smiled.
"You and Xiao Feng are spending a lot of time together lately, aren't you?" He replied in a teasing tone.
How can he not notice that the younger man was in love with Su Xiaofei? The way Lu Qingfeng looked at Su Xiaofei was the look he used to have when he was looking at his wife when she was still alive.
"Why, of course, we've known each since we were kids.. Isn't it natural for us to hang out with each other?" Su Xiaofei responded, before bidding him and Wan An goodbye, hurriedly running to meet Lu Qingfeng.
