Chapter 888 ·Got Into Gossip

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Fan didn't hide anything and smiled while telling about his plans to marry Su Ruochu. Ding Dian was surprised at first, then smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"Looks like I'll have to prepare a big red envelope for you then."

Chen Fan was in a good mood and joked, "No need to be so troublesome, I'll just directly deduct one month of your salary."

Ding Dian: "..."

"You're becoming more and more like those old landlords from the past."

"Don't joke around. I'm just kidding with you."

Ding Dian asked curiously, "Do you have any plans for the wedding?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "No. Otherwise I wouldn't be racking my brains thinking about it."

Ding Dian put down her coffee cup, walked to the couch opposite Chen Fan, took off her high heels, and rubbed her fair feet.

"Yesterday there was an interview, I was running around all day, I'm exhausted."

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan smiled wryly and quickly moved his gaze away from her pretty feet.

"I guess you're probably the only one who dares to do this in front of me, your boss."

Ding Dian didn't care at all: "It's fine, I don't see you as my boss."

"That's not right either, don't you know men and women should keep their distance?"

Chen Fan said seriously, "In ancient times, young ladies weren't supposed to easily show their feet. If a man saw them, they would have to marry."

Ding Dian continued rubbing her feet while glancing up at Chen Fan.

"It's fine. I don't see you as a man either."

Chen Fan: "..."

"Say, who did you inherit this personality from? How are you going to find someone with this personality?"

"By the way, do you have a boyfriend now?"

Ding Dian shook her head.

"No."

Chen Fan advised in a tone of someone with experience: "You're about the right age, you should find a boyfriend, date someone..."

"I like women."

Chen Fan: "..."

Well. The formidable sister Ding once again ended the game with one sentence.

At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. Ding Dian quickly put her feet down and put on her shoes, sitting up straight.

At least in front of others, she still gave Chen Fan face as her boss.

"Come in."

The person who entered was Chen Fan's secretary, who was just recently hired. Chen Fan hadn't actually seen her many times, at least he didn't even know her name.

"Mr... Mr. Chen..."

The secretary seemed somewhat anxious, but after glancing at Ding Dian sitting on the couch, she seemed hesitant to speak.

"It's fine, just say it." Chen Fan said.

The secretary then hurriedly came forward and handed over a printed document.

"This is from this morning's newspaper."

"Newspaper?"

Chen Fan frowned, wondering why she was giving him a newspaper.

Looking at the newspaper's name, it was an entertainment gossip paper from Beijing.

The secretary nervously reminded in a low voice, "Please... please look at the front page."

Chen Fan looked strangely at this secretary, then opened the newspaper to look at the front page.

"Breaking! Shocking news, the country's hottest actress has actually long been kept by someone."

Seeing this headline, Chen Fan first frowned, but then his expression turned ugly.

Because under the headline was a picture, which clearly showed Wen Wan's photo.

The secretary, seeing Chen Fan had noticed, secretly glanced at his expression, then quietly retreated from the office, very thoughtfully closing the door.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Fan not speaking and looking serious, Ding Dian couldn't help but ask.

Chen Fan didn't answer.

Instead, he read through the article with an ashen face.

He looked up at Ding Dian and handed over the newspaper.

Ding Dian took it and looked, then asked.

"Is this talking about Wen Wan?"

However, as she read on, Ding Dian's expression also became strange.

This article wrote that the country's current hottest actress, double Golden Horse and Golden Image award-winning actress Wen Wan had actually long been kept by someone.

And the man keeping her was the boss of a group company, in his prime with wealth of 10 billion.

The goddess everyone likes might not be as pure as everyone imagines on the surface.

The entire article didn't mention Chen Fan's name, but anyone with eyes could tell it was talking about Chen Fan.

"What newspaper is this? Where is it from?"

Ding Dian finished reading and immediately said: "I'll have the company's legal department contact them right away."

"They must publish an apology immediately, otherwise we'll take this lawsuit all the way."

Chen Fan didn't speak, seeming to still be considering things.

Ding Dian continued speaking to herself: "The entire article has no evidence at all, it's completely slanderous defamation."

"But they've also left themselves a backup plan, because they didn't mention your name throughout."

"If we want to handle this, we can only file a lawsuit against them under Feifan Media in Wen Wan's name..."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"It's useless."

"This kind of newspaper isn't a major press to begin with. If we file a lawsuit, they'll end up being the ones who benefit, because this would be equivalent to giving them exposure."

"Then what do we do? Just leave it alone like this?"

Chen Fan didn't answer this question, but frowned while thinking about something else.

"I'm wondering. Why did this newspaper suddenly report such a groundless piece of gossip?"

"Could it really just be to attract attention? Aren't they afraid of offending me?"

Ding Dian looked at Chen Fan.

"They're in Beijing, no matter how powerful you are, you can't reach into Beijing, right?"

"Besides, these entertainment gossip newspapers have always liked to attract eyeballs, they write whatever's most sensational. They don't care about the truth of the matter."

Chen Fan shook his head without saying anything, but turned back to sit behind his desk and turned on the computer.

While waiting for the computer to start up, Chen Fan looked at Ding Dian.

"This kind of report, apart from defaming my reputation, actually causes me no harm."

"I'm not in the system, I'm a businessman, what benefit is there in this kind of rumor-mongering besides offending me?"

Ding Dian suddenly said: "Maybe they're not targeting you, but targeting Wen Wan?"

"Wen Wan just won Best Actress, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's the hottest actress in the film industry right now."

"When she gets hot, she naturally takes away others' exposure. Did Wen Wan offend someone?"

Chen Fan fell into deep thought.

Ding Dian's analysis actually had some possibility.

With Wen Wan's current fame, it was very possible to provoke jealousy from certain people.

Opening the computer, he browsed the news online.

Perhaps because of Wen Wan's fame, though the report had been out for less than a morning, it had already made headlines on the entertainment sections of major websites.

Many netizens were following the drama online, with various forums guessing who the man behind Wen Wan mentioned in the report might be.

However, right after that, another piece of news popped up.

"Exclusive expose! The inside story of a famous actress's rise to fame and the man behind her."

Once this news came out, it completely exploded on the internet.
