At this time, public opinion was quietly breeding an unusual smell, just like a turbid and mysterious undercurrent surging under the calm lake.

After a whole morning, this strange atmosphere gradually spread and fermented in every corner of the network like a dandelion blown by the spring breeze.

And when the hot sun at noon was hanging high in the clear and cloudless sky, its dazzling and domineering light filled the whole body, and it spilled straight into a very luxurious bedroom through the huge and bright floor-to-ceiling window without reservation.

In the bedroom, Kim Nam-joo was sitting upright in front of the exquisite and gorgeous dressing table, dressing herself up.

Her eyes were locked tightly on the mirror in front of her. The face reflected in the mirror faintly revealed a look of pride in the darkness mixed with a bit of pride.

This expression is completely different from the helpless and pitiful look she showed when she apologized in public a few days ago, and there is no similarity at all.

Looking at the red face on her face, rosy and lustrous. Anyone who sees her can feel the vigorous vitality and vitality. This is nothing to do with the news that she was "oppressed and committed suicide" that was circulating on the Internet.

I saw that her makeup direction seemed quite strange at this time. She held a makeup brush and gently applied foundation on her face. The movement seemed casual, but it seemed to have some deliberate purpose.

She seemed to be trying hard to apply herself in the direction of being haggard, and the color of the foundation seemed to be deliberately chosen to be a little darker, trying to create a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion after hardships.

But at the same time, it seemed that he was trying hard to cover up his actually full state, trying to pretend that he was trying to persevere even though he had suffered many hardships.

The label of "forced suicide is tightly attached to her. Tomorrow is the Art Festival Awards Ceremony, and this afternoon is the last day of the Art Festival. She also plans to participate in this final event.

So in this case, a little disguise becomes an indispensable measure.

Kim Nam-joo is still completely ignorant of the public opinion that is changing outside the world.

It was because she had been busy serving people this morning.

Her phone has been silent, and she has no time to pay attention to what happened outside.

Moreover, the person she served told her specifically that it would continue to develop according to the current public opinion. The best actress award tomorrow is likely to be no longer there, and the "Princess Nihuang" may have to be out of reach for this award.

When she thought of this, Jin Nanzhu couldn't help feeling happy, as if everything was a foregone conclusion and was destined. She just needed to wait for the arrival of the moment of glory that belonged to her with peace of mind.

"I'll take one step first." At this moment, a voice came from behind.

Jin Nanzhu watched through the mirror in front of her and saw that the half-old man Zhong Qingmin was standing by the bed, slowly wearing his clothes.

His slightly bloated figure still exudes an indescribable greasy feeling under the pretty decent clothes.

"Um."

Jin Nanzhu just responded lightly, and a trace of undetectable disgust flashed in her eyes inadvertently.

In her heart, she felt the powerlessness and sorrow when facing the control of the chaebol, and she was full of longing for the great benefits that the chaebol could give her.

This kind of psychology is very contradictory, and I can only say that I am used to it.

In the entertainment industry, which seems to be glamorous but is actually undercurrent, if the transaction between Kim Nam-joo and Jong Qingmin is to be explained in one sentence, it is: if you want to gain some benefits in this fiercely competitive circle, you must pay a heavy price that is relatively equal to it.

A few months before the launch of this Baeksang Art Festival, Kim Nam-joo had reached a certain unbearable tacit understanding with Jong Qingmin, a half-old man who is quite powerful in the industry, and conducted a despicable and normal bed transaction.

She was full of coveting that she could win the highly-watched Best Actress Award at this Art Festival with this relationship, thus adding a strong mark to her acting career and further consolidating her position in the entertainment industry.

And Zhong Qingmin does have methods and energy that should not be underestimated.

With the power he relies on and the complex network of relationships in the circle, he secretly operated and managed to handle all the other actresses who were shortlisted for the Best Actress Award and the agency behind them.

Through various means such as exchange of interests, these originally competitive actresses have become Jin Nanzhu's runners in this award competition.

In this way, the Best Actress Award at this Art Festival seems to be the one in Jin Namjoo's pocket, and the result of the decision seems to be a foregone conclusion and there is no doubt.

It is also because of this that in the South Korean public opinion field some time ago, although there were many actresses shortlisted for the Best Actress Award, only Kim Nam-joo was the only one who showed a unique popularity.

Various media reports and hot online discussions almost revolve around her, as if she was the best actress who was expected to be. Other finalists were covered by her light and looked dull.

But things didn't go as they wished. Just when things seemed to be about to settle, Jin Nanzhu was secretly happy in her heart, as if she could already touch the coveted trophy, but there were still some troubles.

For some unknown purpose, the president actually made an unexpected and slutty operation. With the shortlist of the Art Festival, the highly anticipated "Legend of Red Flame" and Liu Yifei, who played "Princess Nihuang", were temporarily added to the shortlist.

This sudden change instantly broke the seemingly peaceful situation.

"Princess Nihuang" is like a goddess from the sky, carrying a huge fan base and the super high popularity accumulated by the drama itself, and has suddenly gained a lot of public attention.

The public opinion heat created by Jin Nanzhu has been trying hard to create, in the face of the popularity triggered by Liu Yifei, instantly became like a cloud, fragile and indescribable.

Seeing this, Jin Nanzhu was naturally furious and furious.

She knew very well that this change would have a huge obstacle to her victory in the Best Actress Award, so she came to Zhong Qingmin without hesitation, trying to use his power to carry out hidden operations again to regain the advantages she gradually lost.

At this time, Zhong Qingmin was actually in a state of hesitation.

On the one hand, he does have the idea of ​​helping Kim Nam-joo continue to maintain his advantage, after all, there is a shameful trading relationship between them;

But on the other hand, the president's sudden action also made him feel an invisible pressure and threat.

However, the president's next series of actions completely angered Zhong Qingmin.

It turned out that in order to make his promotion in the industry smoother, the president chose to break the tradition and vigorously introduced "Legend of Red Flame" to be shortlisted and hoped that it would win an award.

He attempted to increase votes and industry support by winning over the huge fan base behind "Princess Nihuang".

Moreover, while planning all this, the president did not consider the interests of Zhong Qingmin, the vice president, and even planned his own people to take over the position of the next president. This undoubtedly completely blocked Zhong Qingmin's future and did not leave him any room for development.

After Zhong Qingmin felt this intense "injustice" of being ignored and excluded, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

With the support of the powerful people behind him, he resolutely decided to choose to fight the president and prevent the president from becoming strong.

To achieve this goal, we must find a way to completely ruin the two elements that are extremely beneficial to the president, "Legend of Red Flame" and "Princess Nihuang".

Under this circumstance, Jin Nanzhu, who is the biggest competitor of "Princess Nihuang", and has always maintained that kind of disgraceful bed trading relationship with Zhong Qingmin, and is also severely suppressed by Liu Yifei's appearance, naturally became an important chess piece in Zhong Qingmin's hands.

Kim Nam-joo was actually very clear about the fact that she was treated as a chess piece.

But in her opinion, people from all walks of life have their own different purposes. In this cruel entertainment industry, she herself has an urgent need - that is, she must win the Best Actress Award.

It took her several months to carefully manage and make careful arrangements to create a situation that seemed to be sure to win before.

But now, all this was shattered by a temporary operation by the president. She knew that she was unable to compete with the president head-on, so she could only point all the spearheads at Liu Yifei, trying to find a breakthrough from her and regain the advantages she had lost.

At the same time, deep in Jin Nanzhu's heart, she also carries a passionate expectation.

She thought to herself that if she could successfully overshadow the dazzling light of "Princess Nihuang" by relying on a series of means and operations, then perhaps she could become another highly-watched existence in the minds of South Korean women like "Princess Nihuang".

You should know that the unique brilliance that "Princess Nihuang" exudes in the hearts of South Korean women has made many female celebrities envious and jealous, and Kim Nam-joo is no exception.

Since she decided to target Liu Yifei, this ambitious ambition has been deeply pressed on her heart, like a burning spark, always inspiring her to take various actions.

Now, seeing that this ambition seems to be coming to an award ceremony tomorrow, Kim Nam-joo couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in her heart.

“Even so, it’s beautiful.”

Kim Nam-joo put on makeup and admired herself narcissistically in the mirror. She seemed to have already confirmed that she was the biggest winner at tomorrow's award ceremony.

Then, she got up and went to the bedside to get her cell phone.

But just as her hand touched the phone, she suddenly became stunned.

I saw dense messages flashing on the screen of my phone, and the number was so large that it was dazzling.

When she clicked on these messages and gathered them together, the core meaning conveyed was: something happened to the public opinion!

Jin Nanzhu's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged into her heart.

She hurriedly walked towards the computer desk and quickly turned on the computer, wanting to check what was going on as soon as possible.

At the same time, a "bang bang" sounded suddenly, breaking the originally slightly nervous silence in the room.

The person who came was Zhong Qingmin who had just left.

As soon as Zhong Qingmin left, news continued to flow out like a tide in his mobile phone, which was also silent.

After several calls, he realized that the situation was not good, so he turned around and looked for Jin Nanzhu without hesitation.

"What's the situation?" Jin Nanzhu asked anxiously, with a clear panic in her voice.

"I just heard that, go online to see." Zhong Qingmin's face also looked particularly serious. A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes, and a very bad premonition also arises in his heart.

When the computer was started, Jin Nanzhu couldn't wait to open the browser and quickly log in to the social platform.

As the website page opened quickly, several hot topic names suddenly caught her eye. She seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, subconsciously covering her mouth, and a flashing panic appeared in her eyes.

The hot topic reads: #Stars turn against#, #The artists who support Jin Nanzhu support Liu Yifei#,#This may be a conspiracy#,#Kim Nanzhu's illusion and disguise#...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Regardless of the specific content in these topics, just these extremely impactful titles have already made Jin Nanzhu panic.

Her mind was blank in an instant, and she felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet up to her heart.

When Jong Qingmin saw Kim Nam-joo sitting there blankly, looking at him at a loss, she couldn't help feeling impatient.

He stepped forward, bent down and took the mouse, and clicked a topic to check it out.

What caught Zhong Qingmin's eyes were the speeches of the stars.

One of them reads: "I didn't see the scene of Kim Nam-joo committing suicide with my own eyes. I just saw pictures from my friends and followed the trend to comfort me. I apologize for the harm caused to Ms. Liu Yifei, and also apologize to the general public. As a public figure, I speak casually without clarifying the matter. This is my fault."

Another point is: "I didn't see the story of Jin Nanzhu's wrist cutting, but I saw many friends posting on the Internet. I was surprised and agreed to the facts of this incident and posted a message. I am sorry for Ms. Liu Yifei and the people who were disturbed."

There were many such speeches, presented to Zhong Qingmin one by one, making his face gloomy as water, and his eyes revealed a strong anger and disbelief.

These stars were all carefully arranged and agreed upon before. They originally planned to help target Liu Yifei together!

However, now they have collectively betrayed their plans. What is going on?

"Why is this happening?" Jin Nanzhu murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly, her eyes full of urgency and deep trouble.
