81 Karma Is Always Watching 1 (1/2)

Song Qingchun stared at the ceiling, dwelling in her thoughts for a long time. Finally, she removed her mask, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and grabbed her phone to start making calls.

…

When Su Zhinian was in the shower, he could hear snippets of conservation from Song Qingchun's phone, but he also noticed it was prematurely cut off.

After he dried his face, got into his bed, and prepared to turn off the lights, he heard rumblings coming from the adjacent bedroom. It sounded to his mind like someone was dialing the phone, an observation that was confirmed by the dial tone that came later. It rang for a long time before it was picked up. A rather distant female voice came from it. ”Hello?”

”Sister Jiang, it is me, Qingchun,” Song Qingchun introduced herself softly and said in an apologetic tone, ”I'm sorry, I hope I am not disturbing you by calling so late at night.”

”It's fine…” The female voice on the phone hesitated before asking, ”Why did you call me exactly?”

”It's like this. Can you feed me any news about the celebrities from your company…”

”Miss Song, I am sorry; I am really busy at the moment. I will call you back in a bit.”

Then, the phone was rudely hung up. Su Zhinian, who had heard the entire conservation, started to frown.

She is… calling her contacts to beg them for a newsworthy article?

Before Su Zhinian could confirm his thoughts, he heard Song Qingchun made another call.

”Director Zhang, I am Song Qingchun, how is your new film coming along? Do you have…”

”Hello, I'm sorry, but who is this? The signal here is not very good…” And the phone was hung up again.
