Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 160: Can personal items be brought along?

At nine in the morning, the skies over Yancheng had cleared, and on the stage set up by Glory in the lobby of the event building, the host had already started the warm-up.

At this moment, the projection in the building was showing the sporty advertisement of Shi Lan’s new Glory series. An Lan’s batch of advertisements had been shot with both texture and luxury, making them far more comfortable for passersby to view.

Upstairs in the makeup room, Shi Lan was ready.

She was dressed in a silver-white sequin suit dress from the Glory business collection, with Korean-style makeup applied. As soon as the retro lipstick graced her lips, her whole persona radiated power.

However, the scar on her wrist was just too deep. The makeup artist had covered it many times, but traces were still visible.

“Can I wear personal items?” Shi Lan asked the event organizers.

“You should be able to,” nodded the makeup artist.

Thus, Shi Lan took out the bracelet Tang Ze had given her, breaking the rigor of her professional outfit and adding a touch of softness to the stiff ensemble.

“It still doesn’t cover it completely, but it looks much better.”

Tang Ze confirmed the proceedings with Shi Lan from the sidelines, “Today, besides you, the mid-level executives from Europe will also attend the Glory ribbon-cutting ceremony. You’ll have a speech segment during the ribbon-cutting event. Glory has prepared a script for you, but I didn’t think you needed it, so I didn’t take it. After the ribbon-cutting event, there will be a Q&A session with the reporters, and then you can wrap up.”

At this time, the Great Lady Shi was looking at Sun Ling’s iPad, which was filled with a mess of accounts that neither Sun Ling nor Tang Ze could quite understand, let alone know what she was planning to do.

“How much longer until we start?”

Hearing Shi Lan’s question, Tang Ze looked at the time, “The event has already started, but you’re expected to take the stage in about twenty minutes.”

“Then Sun Ling, do me a favor.” Shi Lan passed the iPad to her, “At the beginning of this year, about a month ago, Gu Chengyu’s official fan club commissioned a batch of charity clothing to be donated to an orphanage in a certain county. I compared it with a report from that county after the Spring Festival, where the children in the orphanage had an allergic reaction due to non-compliant dye in the clothing. Help me confirm whether they are the same batch of clothes.”

After hearing this, Sun Ling was shocked.

“Boss, so this is the purpose you were looking at these things?”

“What else? Do you think I find looking at other fans’ support activities entertaining?” Shi Lan tilted her head and retorted to Sun Ling, “The more famous an artist, the more underhanded schemes emerge from their various official organizations. You might think they’re giving their heart and soul for their idol, but what really lies beneath their skin, nobody truly knows. There are those who love him, but there are also plenty who ride on his coattails to sudden wealth.”

“Then how could you tell that there was a problem with this batch of clothing?”

“Simple, because the fan club didn’t promote the charity work after it was done. They chose the time during the New Year and winter vacation when kids have money, and finally, the cost of the clothing was too high. So, I went through the local news,” Shi Lan explained, then added two more sentences, “The fan circles may cause a stir, but they’re not much of an issue. Passersby soon forget, and even scandals like divorces or affairs are merely laughed off. However, when an artist or their fans touch the public interest, believe me, the public won’t easily forget, nor will they easily forgive.”

After listening, Sun Ling and Tang Ze did not know what to say.

Dealing with various gossips every day, they thought they understood everything.

Now, after hearing Shi Lan’s words, they glanced at each other, feeling completely useless in the entertainment industry, as if they were just wasting their time.
