Chapter 37

When she heard Zuo Hancheng’s name, even Anhao started to pay attention.

“Oh? I thought that the president of Shengling Group rarely appears in front of the media?”

“I know right?! Erica is so popular right now that she has even earned the right to attend Yixing Entertainment’s private charity dinner. It was probably her first time meeting the investor behind Yixing. Yixing is considered to be one of the top entertainment companies in the country and them being able to get Shengling Group to invest on them would bring them into new heights. Who wouldn’t want to please such a patron? Maybe Erica became too popular right after her debut and fame got to her head. She thinks that normal men are not good enough for her, so she tried to latch on to the esteemed president of Shengling Group!”

“I’ve never seen a photo of the president of Shengling Group from any media news outlet ever. I could only find a picture of his silhouette on the internet. Even that silhouette looked so handsome! Do you guys think Erica is attracted to that President Zuo?! Is she obsessed?!”

The girl that was holding the magazine started to read the contents of the article in the magazine out loud in all seriousness.

“Popular female star Erica “performed” a frightening act of jumping off a building at Royal Garden Plaza Hotel last night. Fortunately, rescue arrived in time and there were no casualties on site.”

“Sources are saying that the female star Erica was in an unstable state of mind after being rescued. She was reported to be reeking of the smell of alcohol and it was suspected to be from alcohol intoxication. Witnesses said that before Erica was about to jump, she tried to call someone while standing on the ledge of the window, but nobody answered her call. Then, she seemed to have called another number, threatening the other party to get ‘President Zuo’ to answer the call. She claimed that she had something to tell this ‘President Zuo’, but her request was declined.”

“After that, Erica broke down and started sobbing. She ignored the dissuasion from pedestrians and kept muttering something about her heart being broken and that she was upset and in despair. Even though she actually did not intend to jump down from the building, she slipped because she was wearing high heels and fell from the window of the tenth floor. In that horrifying moment, luckily the rescuers managed to lay out an air mattress in time, preventing the unfortunate fall of a rising new star in the entertainment industry… However, after such a mess from Erica, she will have to face many obstacles on her acting path from now on. After pulling such an irrational stunt, Erica might face the danger of being buried by Yixing Entertainment…”

“We will continue reporting about the popular female star Erica’s suicide. Currently, no reporters are allowed entry into the hospital.”

“At the same time, while we wait for the updates, let us also guess who this mysterious ‘President Zuo’ that Erica mentioned is. Inside sources from Yixing Company tell us that a week before this incident, Erica met the international CEO of Shengling Group when she attended the Yixing charity dinner event as Shengling Group is the biggest investor of Yixing Entertainment…”

“Rumors say that the big boss behind Shengling Group rarely appears in front of the cameras. Even for business-related news, there were only a few photos that were approved by the person himself. Five years ago, Shengling Group moved their headquarters back to the inland. Within these five years, even though Zuo Hancheng kept a low profile, he still has many gossips surrounding him.”

“Such incidents like female star Erica’s suicide was not the first. Something similar happened in the first year of Shengling Group’s return to the country. At that time, a female star was also bawling her eyes out and making threats just to meet him. She was also rejected and there were no casualties.”

“Three years ago, a certain renowned female boss of an enterprise did not hesitate to invest a large sum of money to start a collaboration with Shengling Group just to increase her chances of meeting Zuo Hancheng. In the end, it came to nothing. The female boss has disappeared from the business world for years. The details of what happened at that time are unknown. As this incident got more and more attention, Zuo Hancheng who was involved in the incident never appeared in front of the media to provide an explanation. His cold and disregarding manner was evident…”
