The next day, a few news stories erged from Director Wei’s gathering. A young model was brought into the venue by her boyfriend, landing herself on several trending news channels for the first ti.
The reporters, having failed to dig up any big scoops last night, used this as filler material.
The first reaction from the gossip-loving crowd was: Who is Wang Han?
Upon further reflection, oh, wasn’t she the mistress who caused Ma Bin and Lu Xi to break up? After being out of the public eye and caras for so long, she’s back to stirring up trouble?
To grab the attention of entertainnt reporters and their caras, she actually poured wine on herself! Just look at that figure—she screams trouble. No wonder she seduced another woman’s husband before!
People these days generally have no goodwill, even harbor deep hostility, toward mistresses and scumbags. Back when things escalated into a big scandal, Ma Bin only managed to salvage a tiny bit of his public image thanks to hired PR efforts.
Now that Wang Han is back to her antics, all kinds of sarcastic and critical comnts are resurfacing online.
The scarce comnts left under the articles are all full of mockery, thinly veiled or blatant contempt.
Qiao Xiaren woke up the next day to see news like this. Taking a sip of the milk in her hand, she lazily flipped through the book she was holding while occasionally glancing at her tablet.
Thinking she hadn’t logged into QQ in a while, she tapped open her account.
A ssage from her editor, Jin Ju, popped up again: Guanguan, are you there?
Qiao Xiaren checked the date. It seed to be a ssage from about a week ago. She felt a little guilty toward her editor and readers—she was probably the most unreliable, hardest-to-reach author.
Guanguan: I’m here. What’s up?
When Jin Ju saw news finally coming from Guanguan’s end, she felt her long-dormant heart co back to life, nearly tearing up with joy.
Oh my God, the literary superstar finally replied to her!
After over two years—nearly three years—of creation, *Phoenix Girl* had gained an enormous online following.
The story had practically bulldozed its way across all the major rankings on the site with an almost invincible montum.
As for Guanguan, everyone’s knowledge of her was limited strictly to those two characters in her pen na.
Is she male or female? Nobody knew. Let alone her real na or age.
All they knew was that this was an absolutely groundbreaking, god-tier author, so mysterious she felt almost unreal—like a figure who only existed in the realm of imagination.
She had only one moniker: Guanguan.
Just those two characters alone carried an air of reverence.
On Weibo, you’d frequently see people recomnding Guanguan’s works. *Phoenix Girl* had practically beco a classic. So even calculated her publishing revenue—it was estimated that her taxes alone exceeded 5 million.
A truly jaw-dropping figure.
The internet buzzed with speculation that she must be so literary scholar with profound expertise in literature. Yet, scholars typically didn’t write in such a fresh, witty, and slightly humorous style.
There were multiple versions of rumors about the author’s identity circulating, but no one could co to a definitive conclusion.
Please Call Lord Jin Ju: Guanguan, lots of people are interested in buying the film and TV rights for *Phoenix Girl*. Would you be interested in selling to a company with substantial resources? That way, your work could be promoted even further.
Guanguan: I am considering selling the rights, but not now, and I already have a company in mind.
Seeing Qiao Xiaren’s response, Jin Ju was montarily flustered. Wait, the literary superstar already had a company in mind? Then what was she getting anxious over?
What Jin Ju wanted to know even more now was: which company had Guanguan set her sights on?
In recent years, online literature was frequently adapted into popular IP dramas. Jin Ju, being deeply in love with this novel, naturally hoped that *Phoenix Girl* could be adapted into a film or series.
Of course, if high-profile actors could be brought in to perfectly portray the characters, as a humble fan herself, she’d be thrilled beyond words.
