Chapter 501: Chapter 501
Gu Pinting trembled with her lips: "Aunt, the editor on the phone earlier, he called you—Shen Ying? So you are Shen Ying?"
Gu Shiyin’s mind exploded with a loud bang.
The voice from the phone couldn’t have been heard, how did they know?
There’s no way she could be exposed so easily.
"What, what are you talking about, Pinting, Aunt doesn’t understand."
"Aunt, you had the speakerphone on just now, don’t you know?"
Gu Shiyin suddenly looked at the phone screen that hadn’t been hung up yet.
The editor was extremely furious, throwing out the last sentence: "Yes, I’m stupid, but you’re bad and irredeemably bitchy!"
No wonder she always felt the editor’s voice was booming and extremely jarring.
Did she have the speakerphone on without knowing? No, how could she be stupid enough to turn on the speakerphone? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
But now it was useless to dwell on this detail.
At this moment, she was facing not only Gu Pinting but also the aristocratic ladies present, after a deathly silence, bursting out with questions:
"Aunt Shiyin, why did you hide your pen name identity from us?"
"Aunt Shiyin, we understand you have many aliases you don’t want to reveal, but why did you encourage us to reward the Silver League based on our good impression of Shen Ying?"
"Aunt Shiyin, if you wanted rewards, you could have just said so, we’d give them to you. But knowing your book is plagiarized from Qianshan’s work from twenty years ago, yet you still play the sympathy card, do you feel worthy of the readers’ rewards?"
"Aunt Shiyin, how did you become ? I’ve always admired you."
"Aunt Shiyin, you’ve let me down so much, I didn’t realize you were a two-faced person... even if you’re Boss of Ma Jia, you can’t be so deceitful, right?"
Countless accusations, making Gu Shiyin almost unable to cope!
She had never faced such disgrace when exposed, always gaining admirers, never once like today, being exposed so embarrassingly.
She looked around, not a single person supported her.
And by the bar, it seemed there was an invisible gaze, smiling at her.
Who directed all this behind the scenes?!
Gu Shiyin’s face was in disarray, unable to clean up this mess, she could only push Gu Pinting forward: "I’m sorry about the novel, misunderstandings in it can’t be cleared up in a few words. I have so many aliases that I sometimes can’t remember them myself. Um, Pinting, you are the female lead in this drama, you haven’t properly introduced your play to everyone yet. Rest assured, the script will be modified to alter the lines that clash with others, and I don’t want any identical parts, plus Pinting is very talented in acting, she’ll surely perform beyond the original..."
"Ah? Pinting, you’re the female lead? You’re playing Nuwa Empress? Oh my, why didn’t you say so earlier!" Everyone looked at Gu Pinting in surprise.
Indeed, this tactic of diverting attention proved effective.
But Gu Shiyin dared not linger at the party, fearing further questioning, she quickly left through the side door, keeping a low profile.
Just reached the door.
The phone suddenly vibrated a few times.
Took it out to see, it was Penguin Reading’s backend special notice—"Dear author, hello, your pop-up recommendation is now revoked due to violation of moral customs!"
Her major recommendation was withdrawn so quickly, it had only been up for a few minutes!
Such a realistic website!
But what made her even more furious was that her removed position was replaced by Qianshan’s "Long Immortal Road."
The website also pushed a full-screen cover opening for Qianshan! A whole big screen opening, not just a small pop-up!
When she exited the bookshelf, she discovered Qianshan’s comic had appeared there—this is the legendary built-in bookshelf push, the ultimate recommendation all authors envy.
Is the opponent riding on her face, becoming addicted to it, wanting to have a good ride?!
