CHAPTER 600: CHAPTER 580: IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS LEAVING

At the end, the system seemed to recall something and reminded, "Host, be cautious in everything after I leave. If you plan to return to the Jiang Family in the future, be particularly wary of certain people."

"Jiang Ke?" Yan Yueqing had already discussed this person with Jun Lii before.

The system acknowledged, "This life is different from the past. Her influence now may not reach the all-encompassing level she achieved in the world where the Master resides, but the fact that she dared to act against you prematurely in this world? Is it because she’s exceptionally skilled and courageous, or does she have the backing of other forces? The situation with the Jiang Family may be more complex than imagined. Be very careful, Host."

By all means... don’t let the Master’s years of effort go to waste.

Yan Yueqing diligently noted down, "Okay, I remember it all. Thank you, Tong Bao." She bit her lip and finally spoke her mind, "Be careful on your way back, and if in the future... I will always look forward to the day we meet again."

The system’s voice was noticeably choked up.

"I also hope to return to the Host’s side one day." After a pause, the system’s voice became formal again, "Host, I wish you a bright future, may flowers bloom on your path, goodbye."

As its words fell silent, Yan Yueqing felt her mind lighten, as if something important, with substantial weight, was telling her—

"I have gone far away, please don’t worry."

Suddenly, Yan Yueqing’s eyes reddened.

Since she had woken up, the system had always been by her side, giving her direction and strength when everything was still unclear.

That kind of companionship cannot be described by ordinary feelings.

Sending it off abruptly, besides the reluctance, it mostly felt like losing something significant.

Her heart felt empty...

She looked at the small doll icon on the desktop, took a deep breath, and told herself: Don’t become one to lament in sadness. Utilize the things Tong Bao left behind properly, only then will you not waste its efforts.

Yan Yueqing’s fingers hovered over the keyboard, and she clicked on the memory section button to start searching:

Ji Li.

As entries popped up one by one, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

These are all things Ji Li did in another world...

After being busy for the entire afternoon, just around dinner time, Li Manman’s call came back.

She answered the phone, "Manman, I heard you’re planning to leave the circle?"

On the phone, Li Manman’s voice was a bit weary, "Yes, did Director Tang tell you? I knew I couldn’t keep it from you."

Yan Yueqing was straightforward, "What’s the reason?"

"I can’t be a stain on Zhongxing." Li Manman replied sincerely, "Recently, there has been a force targeting Zhongxing, and since they couldn’t dig up any dirt from the company itself, they began with Zhongxing’s artists. You know, between Director Yang and me... Although you intended to cover up for these matters for me, there’s no wall that doesn’t leak air. Once this matter is exposed, the reputation that Zhongxing worked hard to regain through drug testing will be troublesome again..."

"If it’s about that, we’ve talked about it before; it’s not that big of a deal." Yan Yueqing was straightforward, "You didn’t choose to leave when Zhongxing was in its toughest times. Was this decision today a bit rash?"

Li Manman sighed on the other end, "President Yue, now is different from then. My situation with Director Yang isn’t like those that touch legal boundaries. Once exposed, I can only step down! Legally, it’s not a big issue, but on a moral level... alas... any topic tainted with a scandal always causes a stir...

I don’t care about what netizens say, I just fear that some people will use me as an entry point, creating a crack in the seemingly ironclad Zhongxing. In the future, when others talk about Zhongxing, will they wonder if it can even accommodate someone with compromised morals like Li Manman, then will other people be using the guise of justice and innocence to do all sorts of bad deeds? Not to mention, will future female stars of Zhongxing be suspected of attending banquets or entertaining executives because of me?

President Yue, I understand that you want to give me a chance, and I have tried hard to let go of this matter... but... precisely because I care so much about Zhongxing, I cannot allow myself to become its stain! I can’t let everyone’s efforts over the years be wasted because of me. If there’s to be a selection, then let it be clean and thorough!"

Her passionate words left Yan Yueqing silent.

Honestly speaking, she never imagined that one day, the profit-driven Li Manman would say these things to her?

The entertainment industry is like a big dyeing vat, where the number of people wanting to come in clean and leave intact, is really too few and far between.

It’s already difficult for women in this world, let alone in places like the entertainment industry.
