Chapter 70: 70 Palm (4)

Wei Jingjing saw that her neck was stretched out so long, her eyes almost dripping with desire: “How about I go to the restaurant next door and buy you something to eat?”

Xia Siyu’s neck snapped back the next second: “No need.”

Her gaze immediately became as undisturbed as an ancient well, pretending she didn’t care about anything: “You forgot what happened when I first transferred to the company,” she said.

Wei Jingjing snapped back to reality. At that time, it was the first big smear campaign against Xia Siyu, who went from an up-and-coming starlet to being treated like coal. Their team had no experience, having just transitioned from a previous agency to Huixing, during the lowest point in her life.

She had just signed a variety show and after only one day, she found out someone had put something in her water. It wasn’t poison, just hormones. Hormones are colorless and tasteless, and if it weren’t for the fact that due to being unwell she had gone to the hospital, where during a checkup she accidentally spilled water on a pH test strip, she might never have discovered that someone had put hormones in her drink.

Such a thing as hormones, not to mention the adverse effects of long-term excessive use on the body, just the biggest side effect for female stars—weight gain—it was practically the grim reaper for celebrities.

The team was terrified and quietly checked Xia Siyu’s meals. Since the stars’ meal boxes were different from those of other crew members, the target was easy to find. Sure enough, they contained the same substances.

Discovering such a serious issue, Xia Siyu immediately stormed off to the show’s production team. The problem was that the team had just been formed; every other place was under surveillance, but alas, the logistics team wasn’t. Furthermore, the production team was a mixed bag, and at that time, she was continuously slandered, her reputation having plummeted from the top. Huixing Company had just been established and was extremely cautious.

Her influence was small, at most causing a commotion within the production team, who merely promised a thorough investigation and hoped she would not spread the word, wanting to keep her silent.

Xia Siyu had never tolerated such humiliation before. She turned on her heel and left, choosing to pay the penalty rather than continue filming.

The production team didn’t dare to publicize the incident, but even though they remained silent, other stars who participated in the show quietly spread the word. They accused her of being unprofessional and diva-like, a narrative she couldn’t be bothered to correct.

But from then on, whether she was filming on location or attending events, she only ate food made by a chef hired by her own team or drank water they provided.

As for other bad reputations, let them talk—after all, having a label such as “diva not to be messed with” stuck to her could at least intimidate others and prevent those with ulterior motives from daring to harm her.

“It’s fine, 1 1 m not eating supper anyway, which is good for my diet. Didn’t you say I gained several pounds over the two months since I joined the crew?”

Xia Siyu indeed had a physique prone to gaining weight and easily swelling up; she looked a tad plumper than when she first joined. Wei Jingjing fell silent.

But three hours later, Xia Siyu was so hungry it felt like her heart was being clawed at, almost wishing she could gnaw on grass.

Turning around, she saw Wei Jingjing sitting comfortably to one side. Having just spoken harshly, she was too embarrassed to go back on her words and could only hope to finish filming as soon as possible so she could return to the hotel to see what food was available.

But after only one take, she saw Bo Yan posting pictures of a banquet on his social media circle, which annoyed her even more.. She commented directly below: “Eating so much, why don’t you just die from overeating!’
