Chapter 62: Something Went Wrong

Song Wei rebuked subconsciously, “Miss Liu, as long as you maintain your skin condition and apply decent makeup and hairstyle, the ugliness will not spread to you.”
The words Song Wei blurted out silenced everyone at the scene for five seconds.
The atmosphere was like the low pressure before a violent storm. Some staff members sucked in their breaths sharply.
Five seconds later, Liu s.h.i.+ying snapped back to her senses and flew into a rage. “Who are you mocking about needing maintenance?! Who did you say has to rely on decent makeup and hairstyle?! Who gave you the guts?!”
“…I didn’t mean that. You’re too sensitive.”
“Are you implying that I’m sensitive because I’m bothered about my age?” Liu s.h.i.+ying simply wouldn’t listen to any explanation and called the security guards straight away. “Kick her out! The people who let her in just now are all fired! Fired!”
“…” Song Wei didn’t even have time to introduce herself before she was thrown out of the door by the staff.
Whoa… although she had seen Liu s.h.i.+ying’s label—’p.r.o.ne to Jealousy and Love of Beauty’, ‘Afraid of Aging’, and ‘Extremely Picky’; she truly had not expected that woman to have so many potential ‘landmines’. She was clearly only 26 years old, yet she had such intense fear of aging.
Moreover, this time, Song Wei saw a yellow square on the label. Written on it were these words: ‘Hidden attribute will be unlocked upon progress with the mission.’
Could it be that she had unintentionally activated some new ability? She could activate it after completing a certain mission?
Just as she was thinking about it, the unfriendly hotel staff came over and pinned her hands behind her back like a criminal, planning to drag her downstairs.
“You actually dared to lie to approach Miss Liu. You must be one of those rumored sasaeng fans1, right? Miss Liu has already called the police. You just wait to be thrown into custody.”
“I’m an employee of Sky Palace. It was Miss Liu who invited me to come. Yet, she kicked me out just because I’m ugly! In fact, I should be the one to sue them for appearance discrimination!”
“You can tell the police about this stuff. I don’t have the time to investigate.”
Song Wei had a flash of inspiration as she recalled a scandal about Liu s.h.i.+ying that she had followed in her previous life. Hence, she directly told the security guard, “Tell Miss Liu that I have a deadly secret of hers in my hands. If she insists on embarra.s.sing me, I will also make her the trending topic in the media tomorrow!”
The security guards stopped in their tracks. Someone said, “This fellow might have been sent by the tabloids. If there’s really something going on…”
Hence, the head of the security guards called Liu s.h.i.+ying’s staff to confirm.
The security guard held onto the phone as he asked Song Wei, “Tell us, what is this secret about?”
“I only have one name, Ye Xingchen.”
The person on the other end of the line seemed to become tense, and even the security guard’s expression grew more serious. “Miss Liu asked us to bring you up.”
Song Wei heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she still had some information reserves about the entertainment industry in her previous life. Otherwise, things would become complicated today.
“Miss Liu also said that no matter who you are or even if you have any evidence, as long as you dare to leak any information; she will make sure that you can’t survive in this industry. Do you hear me?”
“Don’t worry, I’m very tight-lipped.” Actually, she just didn’t have any evidence.
If she really held Liu s.h.i.+ying’s weakness, there would be no need for her to be so tactful. She could even straight out threaten her to be the spokesperson of Sky Palace.
However, she only had a name and a vague memory right now. If she wanted to fool an astute person who had fought her way to the top in the entertainment industry, she could only depend on her luck.
In the standalone guest room of the presidential suite, Liu s.h.i.+ying had already sent away the other staff members to meet with Song Wei alone.
Song Wei, on the other hand, calmly sat down on the chair in front of her. “Miss Liu, I’m Sky Palace’s a.s.sistant designer in charge of modifying your design. My apologies for any offense earlier. However, as long as you’re willing to cooperate, I a.s.sure you I won’t tell anyone what I know.”
Unfortunately, Liu s.h.i.+ying’s line of sight still s.h.i.+fted away from Song Wei with a face of disgust. “Don’t point your face at me. I’m disgusted.”
Song Wei took out the mask prepared by the a.s.sistant and put it on. “This should be fine now, right?”
However, Liu s.h.i.+ying still did not turn her head around. She spoke in a cold and haughty voice, “How do you know the name Ye Xingchen?”
From that stance, it was completely like she was interrogating a criminal.
