The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"What?"

Zhang Zilin was stunned when she heard the news.

At the same time, she realized why she had been unable to contact her best friend these past two days.

It turns out she sold herself.

Even, if we think about it maliciously, it's very possible that she orchestrated this whole thing, including when she submitted her resume to Kyoto in her own name.

Things have progressed to the point where it's no longer just a misunderstanding.

And even if you told people, no one would believe you.

As for the fact that her best friend submitted her resume to Kyoto under her own name, Kyoto bears some responsibility, but not much.

After all, Kyoto is recruiting online and publishes its email address for people to submit their resumes.

Who would have thought that someone would impersonate someone else—no, this is 'helping' someone submit a resume—and do so without the other person's knowledge?

For an ordinary person, making a mistake is simply a mistake, and it doesn't matter.

At most, when Kyoto is verifying the information, they can call back to find out, so it basically won't have much of an impact.

But Zhang Zilin is different; she is the Miss World global champion, and she is a celebrity to the entire internet.

The celebrity effect is undeniable; it's not that you don't know it yourself, or that someone else is impersonating you and submitting a resume, and you can get away with it.

More importantly, the email address her best friend used to submit her resume was Zhang Zilin's email address.

Now, even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn't explain this matter at all, and the outside world wouldn't believe it either.

"Mr. Shen, you didn't call me to see me make a fool of myself, did you?"

Zhang Zilin took a deep breath, trying to shake off all the negative emotions in her mind.

Things are already like this, there's no point in thinking about anything else.

Now, the most crucial thing is how to handle this matter.

"Tell me first, what did your agent say to you?" Shen Xiuya didn't rush to explain her purpose.

"My agent told me to keep quiet and not to respond at all."

Zhang Zilin did not hide anything and told the truth.

"This treatment is actually acceptable, at least for top-tier actresses. As for you..."

Shen Xiuying clicked her tongue as she spoke, "Or rather, as long as the news involves the chairman, there's no such thing as the news fading away."

"You might think the hype has died down after a few months, but when you or the chairman reappear in public, it will definitely be brought up repeatedly."

That's true.

It has nothing to do with Zhang Zilin, but rather with Lin Bufan.

Domestic and even global media outlets know that Lin Bufan is extremely difficult to interview.

From his first film to now, the number of interviews he has given has been counted.

Fortunately, Lin Bufan is a world-renowned director, and most importantly, he is quite the ladies' man. Since the reporters couldn't get any news from him, they had no choice but to shift their focus and try to get information from his women.

As a result, female celebrities who have been rumored to be dating Lin Bufan are now followed by a lot of paparazzi whenever they go out.

They would occasionally post photos online and then fabricate a short story based on those photos.

At first, only a few junior reporters did this.

However, when everyone in the industry realized that doing this could make money, the whole situation changed.

Regarding the romantic affairs of a talented man like Lin Bufan, although netizens may grumble and criticize, they will definitely follow up with any new gossip.

For example, Che Xiao.

Her debut TV series, "Difficult Love," made her famous, and she is considered a top-tier actress in the industry, even though she is only a third-tier star.

However, the number of reporters chasing after her is no less than that of top female stars.

More importantly, the news that exposed her generated a lot of buzz online. If we only consider the buzz, and calculate based on future popularity, she could be considered a second-tier actress, or even not much worse than a first-tier actress.

It's easy to imagine how long Zhang Zilin's popularity as a "newcomer" might last.

"President Shen, I know you're calling because you must have a solution." Zhang Zilin took a deep breath.

She now has a deep understanding of her current situation.

"That's right, there is a way, it just depends on whether you're willing to try!"

Shen Xiuying's calm voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Shen, please state your terms first!"

Zhang Zilin was well aware that she and Shen Xiuying did not have a deep relationship, and that Shen Xiuying must have something to gain from helping her.

"It's very simple. After this is over, you'll sign with Jingyi."

Shen Xiuying said directly.

Her only goal was to sign Zhang Zilin.

Zhang Zilin is the Miss World global champion, the only one of her kind in China. If we can sign her, it will have a huge impact on Jingyi.

Especially now, at this crucial time for backdoor listings.

Any positive news would greatly benefit the company's successful backdoor listing.

"Okay, no problem."

Zhang Zilin only thought for a few seconds before agreeing.

It's not that she abandoned her current agent, but rather that her current agent couldn't get her out of her current predicament, so you can't blame her.

"It's simple, just turn the act into reality."

"Take it for real? Mr. Shen, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Zilin was momentarily stunned.

Could it be that they really want me to be Lin Bufan's personal assistant?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

If that's the case, she might as well handle the matter quietly.

"It means you're to date the chairman, like a normal boyfriend and girlfriend..." Shen Xiuya no longer hid anything and explained her plan in detail.

Simply put, the entire internet is now focused on how Zhang Zilin, the "Miss World Global Champion," has so "lowly" wanted to become Lin Bufan's personal assistant.

It has had a really bad impact on her reputation.

However, if we put it another way, that she and Lin Bufan are boyfriend and girlfriend, and the so-called "life assistant" is just a little game between lovers, then it's harmless.

Couples can have a little fun together, they can do whatever they want.

For example, Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, and Yang Mi are all confirmed to be Lin Bufan's girlfriends, so what?

No one said anything about them.

"But will Mr. Lin cooperate?"

Zhang Zilin was willing, but she didn't know if Lin Bufan would agree.

After all, they weren't familiar with each other.

"That's why I said, you should seriously consider whether you're going to take this role seriously!"

After Shen Xiuying finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.

"Fake it for real!"

Upon hearing these four words, Zhang Zilin finally understood what Shen Xiuying meant.

Yes!

Lin Bufan and she are not related, so why would he help her put on this act? What benefit would it bring him?

But if it becomes real, then it's a different story.
