Ding Shan could not help but take out her phone to check. When she looked, she realized that her name was clearly following the title. The entry “Ding Shan’s unspoken rules” had become the top trending topic.

Ding Shan raised her eyebrows and smiled bitterly. This was like eating a melon on her head. She really did not want her to stop for even a moment!

Before Ding Shan could open the phone and check carefully, Xiao Zhao’s call came in.

Ding Shan picked up the phone and heard Xiao Zhao’s breathless voice on the other end. “Sister Shan, something has happened. There’s some dirt on you on the Internet again.”

Ding Shan’s emotions were complicated. She sighed slightly. It was a pity that her leisure time was ruined, but she still comforted Xiao Zhao, “I saw it, but I didn’t have the time to open it. Don’t rush. Be careful. I’ll be fine.”

!!

After moving, Ding Shan lived in an apartment. It was relatively large, so Xiao Zhao moved in as well. The two of them could still be companions.

Xiao Zhao used to be her personal assistant, and now that Ding Shan’s health wasn’t good, the two of them even discussed opening a management company. It would be more convenient to live together.

Xiao Zhao had just taken advantage of Ding Shan’s rest time to go out and deal with some follow-up issues regarding the termination of the contract. Previously, Ding Shan had rejected all these jobs. She said that if some black-hearted companies were unwilling to cooperate, she would tell them the contract was signed by Yang Hua. If they did not terminate the contract, not only would they not get the liquidated damages, but they would also have to face a lawsuit.

Xiao Zhao had just finished dealing with these matters. She looked at the contract that had been annulled in her hands happily. She felt that Ding Shan was brilliant and capable. In this way, not only did she vent her anger, but she also reduced the liquidated damages to the lowest level. She had utterly eliminated these disgusting, life-threatening, and vulgar films.

However, she had not been happy for long when she received a message from the reporter.

When Xiao Zhao became Ding Shan’s manager, her workload increased severalfold. She had also become the target of many entertainment reporters.

When Xiao Zhao picked up the phone, she heard the reporter ask her if she wanted to clarify Ding Shan’s dirt and if she was interested in choosing an entertainment account.

Xiao Zhao was confused at first. She thought this reporter was slow and wanted to get the right to publish Ding Shan’s response to the report, so she didn’t care too much, “We’ve clarified it long ago. There’s no need for it for now. Moreover, we’re just defending our rights. This isn’t considered dirt, right?” She was faintly angry at the reporter’s choice of words.

On the other end of the phone, the reporter was also stunned. “The dirt has just been exposed, and you guys have already clarified it? That’s impossible! I’m considered the fastest news!”

Xiao Zhao realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked, “What dirt has been exposed again?”

When the reporter heard that, Xiao Zhao did not know and was also puzzled, “They’re talking about Ding Shan’s unspoken rules! This time, it’s not some low-level tabloid paparazzi randomly reporting. From what I’ve heard, quite a few mainstream media outlets are already preparing to release it. A few of them have already taken action just now. Didn’t they contact you in advance?”

The reporter mumbled in bewilderment, “I saw that someone posted it. I thought that you guys were already prepared to clarify things. How come you didn’t know about it?”

When Xiao Zhao heard this, her heart instantly tightened.

It wasn’t the reporter’s fault for being puzzled. In the industry, there were more or less some unwritten rules. Many media outlets would actually choose to contact the person involved before reporting on an Artiste’s scandal or dirt.

Everyone would be happy if the parties involved were willing to pay a high price to block this news. The reporter had money to earn, so there was no need to make enemies with the artiste.

If the price could not be agreed upon, or if the artiste was already prepared and was not afraid, then it would be a war of public opinion, and everyone would profit from it.

For example, the tabloid reporter that Ding Yuan had found before was considered unrated and greedy. To become famous, he did not even care about the most fundamental truth and rushed to publish it. Naturally, he would not take the initiative to contact Ding Shan.

However, this time, it was not the malicious spread of the tabloid reporters but the mainstream media outlets, and they did not try to contact Ding Shan in advance. Then it could only mean someone had already spent a large sum of money behind their backs. By letting this dirt be published quickly, Ding Shan was caught unprepared.

Xiao Zhao thought of Ding Shan, who was resting at home. She did not have time to talk to the reporters. She quickly hung up the phone and called Ding Shan as she ran home desperately.

Xiao Zhao’s heart ached for Ding Shan. Since the reporters had already said that it was dirt, and the media’s methods were aggressive and well-prepared, the online comments would definitely not be worthy of being read anymore!

Xiao Zhao instructed, “Sister Shan! Don’t look at it. Let’s discuss it when I get back!”
