Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

"Sister, has Brother Yan left?" Fan Chengcheng asked when she was called back.

"I'm gone."

Fan Bingbing stared blankly in the direction Gu Zhiyan had left.

Having been in the entertainment industry for over twenty years, she has witnessed all sorts of intrigue, deceit, and betrayal in this cesspool. She never imagined that one day she would fall for any man again.

But at this moment, she was truly moved.

It was a man much younger than her.

"Sis, stop looking, Yan-ge has disappeared long ago," Fan Chengcheng waved her hand in front of Fan Bingbing's eyes and asked with a gossipy look, "You two have been in the car for so long and nothing happened...?"

Fan Bingbing glared at Fan Chengcheng: "Get lost, what are you saying, brat?"

Nothing really went wrong, it was just a kiss.

However, the feeling of Gu Zhiyan's long, strong hands roaming over her body still makes her cheeks flush when she thinks about it.

Seeing that her sister was pretending to be angry, Fan Chengcheng calmed herself down and said, "Sis, stop pretending. Your lipstick is all smudged. Besides, you've been acting like you've lost your soul ever since Brother Yan left."

"ah?!"

Fan Bingbing quickly took out a mirror from her handbag and looked at herself; her lipstick was indeed smudged.

I was careless and let the child see through my deception.

"Sis, have you managed to win over Yan Ge yet? I'm still waiting for him to become my brother-in-law," Fan Chengcheng asked expectantly.

"Go away, go away, it's an adult matter, kids shouldn't worry about it."

That kid is so annoying!

Fan Bingbing waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

Take it down?

Now is not the time; she still has a lot to clean up, and she can't cause trouble for Gu Zhiyan right now.

She wants to say goodbye to the past properly and start a new life.

Fan Chengcheng: "Sister, I'm not a child anymore."

Fan Bingbing glared at Fan Chengcheng: "Stop talking nonsense, are you itching for a beating? Get back to the car."

Fan Chengcheng was startled and dared not say another word. She quickly ran to the driver's seat.

The vehicle started and drove into the night.

Fan Bingbing, who had been resting her chin on her hand and looking out the car window, suddenly spoke up: "Chengcheng."

"What's wrong, sis?"

"If you encounter any difficulties in the industry in the future, you can go to Gu Zhiyan, but don't bother him with every little thing."

This younger brother is the one Fan Bingbing worries about the most.

The entertainment industry can sometimes be ruthless and predatory.

People come and go; she did help some people with a lot of things, but favors eventually wear off.

Besides, if we really run into trouble, it's hard to say whether these people who only care about their own interests are reliable.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket; Gu Zhiyan is another layer of insurance.

She was heartbroken over her younger brother.

Therefore, she planned to introduce all her endorsement and business resources to Gu Zhiyan. Although she was willing, she still asked Gu Zhiyan for a promise to take care of Fan Chengcheng.

She trusted Gu Zhiyan's character!

I just don't know when we'll meet again.

……

"Xiuxiu, contact Fan Bingbing's studio and get their resources. They'll cooperate with you."

The next day, early in the morning, Gu Zhiyan gave Xiuxiu the phone number that Fan Bingbing had given him the day before.

"Ah, Brother Yan, how did you manage to do that?" Xiuxiu was quite surprised.

There have been quite a few people eyeing the resources behind Fan Bingbing lately, creating a tense atmosphere.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

As a top actress and business queen in the entertainment industry, Fan Bingbing's "fall" could make many people very rich.

Xiuxiu has been trying to offend people in this area quite a bit lately, but unexpectedly, a windfall has suddenly fallen into her lap.

Of course, it's impossible to consume all of these resources, but with Fan Bingbing acting as a go-between, the biggest beneficiary is definitely Brother Xiaoyan.

"Yes, I promised to take care of her younger brother from now on."

Gu Zhiyan: Perhaps he also sold some of his sexuality.

"I'll handle this," Xiuxiu nodded, then brought up another matter, "However, Brother Xiaoyan, someone has revealed that you and Fan Bingbing have been having an overly close relationship, which has stirred up a lot of controversy, and many people are starting to suspect that you've also evaded taxes."

Gu Zhiyan: Hmm? Did someone take pictures of you meeting Fan Bingbing yesterday?

That shouldn't be happening!

Fan Bingbing didn't even get out of the car yesterday, and she also said yesterday that, just to be on the safe side, the car was borrowed, not her own.

Why is this saying held?

Xiuxiu: "You were having dinner with Fan Bingbing during the Chinese New Year, and someone must have taken a picture of it. Now they're using it as an excuse to make a fuss."

"I see," Gu Zhiyan nodded. "That's good. You can contact the tax authorities and ask them to audit the accounts. Anyway, we're fine, so we can take this opportunity to clarify things."

"Brother Xiaoyan, I'm not sure I can call him that," Xiuxiu said with some difficulty.

"Yes, that's true. I didn't think it through. Let me make the contact."

We need to find someone to help us with this, otherwise who knows when it will drag on.

The main problem is that the online buzz isn't big enough. If it gets bigger, people will come knocking on our door immediately without us even having to contact them.

But Gu Zhiyan didn't want to wait any longer. This matter was disgusting, and she didn't want to waste too much energy on it. The sooner it was resolved, the sooner she could have peace and quiet.

Gu Zhiyan dialed the phone number of a senior female colleague who worked in the tax department.

As soon as I explained the situation, my senior sister immediately said that someone would come to check the accounts within the next two days.

Furthermore, everything will be arranged afterward. The authorities will issue a clarification announcement, and, by the way, they will also award him the honor of "Outstanding Taxpayer Enterprise".

This honor wasn't obtained through back channels, as it was well-deserved given Gu Zhiyan Company's tax payment record.

Without keeping Gu Zhiyan waiting any longer, the tax authorities came to audit the accounts the next day, and they did so in a very high-profile manner.

This was also Gu Zhiyan's request—to make a big fuss and let everyone know about it.

This incident caused a huge sensation and quickly topped the trending searches.

"Gu Zhiyan may be suspected of tax evasion and is under investigation by the tax authorities."

Is another A-list celebrity about to fall from grace, following in the footsteps of Fan Bingbing?

This incident involving Gu Zhiyan has caused an even bigger stir than the one involving Fan Bingbing.

The internet is rife with all sorts of rumors and gossip.

"It can't be true, can it? Gu Zhiyan is so confused!"

"This is my favorite celebrity, is he really gone just like that?"

"Heh, what kind of good person can associate with Fan Bingbing? These kinds of disgraced celebrities should all be banned; it's a relief!"

"I don't believe Gu Zhiyan is that kind of person; he's a law graduate."

"Haha, knowingly breaking the law is an even greater crime. Besides, those who are well-versed in the law are even better at exploiting loopholes in the law."

"Spreading rumors is illegal. Don't believe or spread rumors. Always rely on official announcements."

……

Ignoring the various opinions online and declining all interviews, Gu Zhiyan leisurely stayed on set filming.

However, faced with this situation, the older and younger women couldn't sit still and called to inquire about the situation.

Gu Zhiyan had no choice but to explain that he had taken the initiative to request the tax authorities to audit the accounts, and that there was no problem at all.

This finally calmed the older and younger women down.

While the city was engulfed in turmoil, Gu Zhiyan remained calm and composed.
