Nan Qing was taken aback by his question, "Who sexually harassed him?"
He pointed to himself, incredulous, "Me?"
There's a small, clean, and spacious rooftop terrace on the 6th floor of Huading Entertainment.
The scenery here is beautiful. As far as the eye can see, there are towering buildings and huge billboards of top celebrities overlooking everything. Especially at night when the lights come on, it has a rather decadent and glamorous feel.
But recently, with the hot weather, those celebrities who used to have afternoon tea have stopped coming. There are only two empty camping chairs on the rooftop, parked under the parasol.
Zheng Ming walked hurriedly ahead, while Nan Qing behind him was in no hurry.
As soon as they stepped onto the rooftop, several cries of agony rang out.
"I don't want to live anymore! I studied hard for over ten years, finally got a job and started earning money, but I didn't even make any money, and I was even sexually harassed by Nan Qing! What's the point of me living anymore!"
"I'm the only male in my family, and I'm responsible for carrying on the family line! If I jump, my family line will end!"
"Damn Huading Entertainment! Damn Nan Qing! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
Upon seeing Nan Qing's agent appear, the person straddling the edge of the rooftop cried even louder.
"I'd rather be dead! Why is my life so miserable?!"
Below the rooftop, reporters rushed to the scene, standing in groups of at least seven or eight.
Someone called the police, but the police car hasn't arrived yet; only the company's security guards are maintaining order downstairs.
Zheng Ming's brows furrowed into knots.
" Wang Dafu, don't be impulsive!"
"Get down first! Don't gamble with your life! There are so many cameras pointing at you outside!"
"I won't go down! I'm going to jump! I want the whole world to know! I want justice for myself!!"
Wang Dafu cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, only his shrewd little eyes kept glancing back.
Finally, half a minute later, a tall figure appeared at the end of his line of sight.
I haven't seen Nan Qing for a few days, and he's become even more arrogant.
He wore a white silk shirt with a dark green vest over it, and a metal necklace hung from his collar, swaying at his waist as he walked, like a purebred yet haughty ragdoll cat.
Seemingly afraid of getting sunburned, she wore a pair of oversized sunglasses on her small, snow-white face, and a bodyguard behind her held a large black parasol.
Wang Dafu's wails paused for a second, then suddenly intensified.
"I can't live anymore! I've been sexually harassed!"
" Nan Qing from Huading Entertainment sexually harassed me! What's the point of me living?!"
"Everyone, please tell me the truth! I'm a grown man, and I've been sexually harassed! What's the point of my life anymore?!"
He cried and wailed as he looked at Nan Qing.
But the other person ignored him completely, instead calling to their assistant and saying something to him.
Wang Dafu cried and screamed even more loudly.
A moment later, Nan Qing's assistant, dressed in a suit, picked up his phone and pointed the camera at him.
Wang Dafu panicked, "What are you doing? What are you doing, Nan Qing?!"
The boy wearing black sunglasses smiled, his red lips curving into a kind and understanding smile.
"Didn't you ask everyone to judge this? I'm trying to help you!"
"I've started a live stream, I guarantee everyone will see how pathetic you are right now. Even so, there aren't enough people in the live stream yet, so cry a little longer, and we'll talk when everyone arrives!"
Wang Dafu was stunned.
Zheng Ming was stunned for a second, then realized what was happening.
"What are you doing, Nan Qing? Haven't you caused enough trouble already? Aren't you ashamed enough?"
"Look at all the media outlets downstairs! Do you want to make this scandal known to everyone?"
Wang Dafu continued to wail.
Nan Qing smiled, her lips curving upwards.
"Oh, I thought someone from our company had deliberately brought these media outlets downstairs so quickly!"
"Whether it was intentional or not doesn't matter. After all, Wang Dafu has been my assistant for half a year, and now he's practically threatening to jump off a building. He only has this one request for justice, so I have to grant it."
" Wang Dafu, you're quite popular! You already have 100,000 viewers in your live stream!"
Nan Qing praised him sincerely.
Wang Dafu's expression was very unnatural; he kept glancing downstairs, muttering two sentences repeatedly.
" Nan Qing sexually harassed me!"
"I don't want to live anymore!"
"What the hell? Who is Nan Qing sexually harassing? Who is this guy?"
" Nan Qing's former assistant, right? This guy is short, fat, and dark-skinned, and looks like an illegal structure. Isn't it rumored that Nan Qing hired him as her manager just to make herself look better?"
"Hilarious! This guy clearly doesn't want to jump at all; he's so nervous he's peeling the plaster off the wall with his right foot!"
"Speechless! Has the victim-blaming mentality kicked in? Does that mean that people who engage in 'sexual favors' have to blame the victims for not being good-looking enough...? Holy crap! Dude, you're really ugly!"
"Is this some kind of publicity stunt? Is Nan Qing trying to take advantage of him? Is she after his yellow teeth, or his nose hairs?"
"Is Huading Entertainment facing some recent business difficulties, and is it starting to pull off some external projects?"
The discussion on the live chat was in full swing when a familiar male voice came through—it was Nan Qing's voice.
"Alright, Wang Dafu, now the whole country is watching you. I even bought some promotional material, limiting it to your hometown."
"Your relatives from your hometown will definitely come to help, now you can speak up!"
Upon hearing the word "hometown, "Wang Dafu stumbled and nearly fell.
His face was a jumble of red and white, like a spilled color palette, his expression strangely unpleasant.
" Nan Qing, you--"
"You--"
He tried twice, but nothing came out.
If you didn't know better, you'd think you had a toad stuck in your throat.
Wang Dafu didn't dare look directly at the camera, so he took the opportunity to look down. Finally, after seeing a certain figure, he mustered up his courage.
"It was you, Nan Qing! You got drunk and then sexually harassed me!"
I hate you! I'll hate you for the rest of my life!
Nan Qing looked at him and smiled.
"Then tell me, how exactly did I sexually harass you?"
Wang Dafu's face began to flush red and then turn pale again.
He never expected Nan Qing to be so shameless, nor did he expect her to dare to do a live stream, let alone that she would buy promotional material in his hometown.
Damn it!
He plans to go home and get married after making this money!
If he really fabricated a story about how Nan Qing sexually harassed him, the whole village would know he got married through connections. How would he ever get a wife then?!
"You forgot, didn't you? Or were you drunk too?"
Wang Dafu reacted instantly.
"Yes! Yes! You got me drunk that day! You pinned me to the ground... I don't remember anything!"
Nan Qing looked at him with a smile.
"You remember nothing, yet you know it was me who sexually harassed you."
"This constitutes defamation, Wang Dafu, and hundreds of thousands of people were watching the live stream. You've committed a crime. I'm calling the police right now to have you arrested!"
Wang Dafu panicked when he heard that the police had been called.
That person clearly told him that once he ruined Nan Qing's reputation, it would be over, and he could still get money from both sides.
But calling the police won't do.
Wang Dafu didn't care about anything else. Following their agreed-upon time, Wang Dafu shouted as if he were going to throw caution to the wind:
"It was just over two weeks ago! You came to the company for a meeting, and then went drinking. I kindly went to pick you up, but you forced me to do it!"
"I don't want to live anymore! My innocence is gone!"
Wang Dafu pretended to jump down, his howls growing louder and louder.
"Celebrities engaging in unspoken rules and exploitation goes unchecked! This world is becoming increasingly lawless!"
Nan Qing looked at him with a half-smile, her slender fingers tapping on the screen to dial a phone number.
The call was answered after only one ring. Nan Qing and his assistant's live-streaming phones were very close, and besides, he had no need to hide anything.
In the live stream, the overly arrogant and handsome boy held the edge of his phone with one hand, his neatly manicured nails reflecting the sunlight like pale roses.
Even her voice was completely different from before; it was like a wicked vixen swaggering behind a tyrant, her tone drawn out and swaying.
Honey, someone's framing me!
