“If your performance is poor, your probation period will be extended,” Lin Zexi said, ignoring her nonsense.

“Threatening me… so inhumane,” Shen Yiyi muttered angrily as she punched the pillow.

For the sake of passing probation, she could only obediently get up early every day to prepare breakfast.

After nearly an hour of effort, she finally cooked a bowl of Cantonese-style pork and offal congee.

In Lin Zexi’s hotel room, Shen Yiyi placed the congee in front of him.

“Boss, the congee is ready.”

Lin Zexi glanced at the steaming bowl and frowned slightly, not moving.

Shen Yiyi immediately understood and picked up a small fan, gently fanning the steam away.

Lin Zexi watched her seriously fanning the congee.

The scene looked slightly ridiculous, and the corner of his lips lifted almost imperceptibly.

He took the bowl and took a sip. The taste was actually quite good.

“Shen Yiyi, next time bring some buns,” Lin Zexi said, still sounding dissatisfied as he drank.

“Boss, what kind of buns do you want?” Shen Yiyi asked helplessly, almost resentfully.

“You decide,” Lin Zexi said, finishing the congee and wiping the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

“Boss, I’m a makeup artist, not a chef,” Shen Yiyi sighed.

“You’re a celebrity anyway, can’t you just hire a proper cook?”

“So?” Lin Zexi replied flatly.

“I’m not a professional cook,” she continued, trying to discourage him from turning her into a part-time chef.

Her hands were meant for makeup, not cooking.

“Boss, something’s wrong, there are rumors about Yiyi!” Huang Kankan rushed in from outside, holding his phone.

“I, involved in rumors?” Shen Yiyi pointed at herself in shock.

“I’m not even a celebrity. What kind of rumor could I possibly have?”

“Look at this, it’s about that male extra from last time.”

Shen Yiyi took Huang Kankan’s phone and saw a headline glaring back at her:

Lin Zexi’s makeup artist bullies fellow makeup artists during filming, looks down on extras, and is retaliated against by a crew member.

The article described in detail how she had supposedly used her status as Lin Zexi’s personal makeup artist to bully another makeup artist and extras in the same crew, and how she was later dragged out to the outskirts of town and “retaliated against” by an extra at night.

The comment section was already exploding with hate:

“Trash, stay away from Zexi.”

“Please learn how to be a decent human being.”

“Resign and publicly apologize!”

“A single rat ruins an entire pot of soup.”

“Serves her right for being bullied back.”

“The studio must fire this bully immediately.”

“I didn’t do it,” Shen Yiyi said helplessly, looking between Lin Zexi and Huang Kankan.

“Has a statement been released?” Lin Zexi asked.

“It’s already being prepared,” Huang Kankan replied.

“Take it down from the trending list,” Lin Zexi said, his gaze on Shen Yiyi shifting slightly, a hint of emotion surfacing in his eyes.

Huang Kankan, who had been working with Lin Zexi for years, had already sensed that something was wrong.

“Someone is clearly stirring things up behind the scenes this time,” he said.

It must have been someone from the same production crew who leaked the incident involving the extra and deliberately framed Yiyi.

The goal was to trigger online harassment, force Shen Yiyi out of Lin Zexi’s team, and even push her out of the industry entirely.

Shen Yiyi’s eyes turned slightly red.

Huang Kankan gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Yiyi, the studio’s statement will be out soon. Just wait a bit.”

Lin Zexi looked at her but said nothing.

Within just half an hour, the situation spread rapidly online, and Shen Yiyi was pushed onto the trending list.

Geng Mo was furious, smashing things in his office. If he ever found out who was behind this, he would make sure they paid for it.

The studio’s response was swift. Shortly after, an official statement was released and immediately shot to the top of the trending list:

Official Statement:
Our studio’s makeup artist, Ms. Shen, has never bullied any makeup artist in the same production.

Since there was no professional overlap, such accusations are entirely baseless.

As for the alleged bullying of extras, Ms. Shen only serves as the makeup artist for actor Lin Zexi and has had no interaction with any extras.

On the contrary, Ms. Shen and assistant Mr. Huang acted despite personal risk to stop a malicious male extra, Mr. Lu XX, from harming a female extra on set.

The suspect has already been arrested by the police.

We strongly urge the public to stop spreading false information and fabrications. Legal action will be taken against those responsible.
