Chapter 559

"Thank you all for your dedicated efforts over this past month." At the wrap party, Miss Luo Quan raised a glass of grape juice to give a toast.

More than a hundred key crew members also raised their glasses with smiles; many of them were not working with Miss Luo Quan for the first time, as they had already been there during the filming of "Resident Evil."

If nothing unexpected happens, Miss Luo Quan will likely hire them for the movies she films in the United States later.

In Hollywood, there aren't many directors as generous as Miss Luo Quan.

The only downside is that Director Miss Luo Quan's movie progress is always too fast. Paid by the day, they naturally hope the movie takes as long as possible to film, but it usually wraps in less than a month every time.

This can be considered a hallmark of Miss Luo Quan as a director: fast production speed, but no issues with quality, just like her music.

The banquet was held at a high-end Michelin restaurant in New York. To avoid disturbing other diners, Miss Luo Quan simply booked the whole place.

As long as there are no other guests dining in the restaurant, no one will be affected.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner and returned satisfied. After the banquet dispersed, Carilian and Miss Luo Quan got into the car back to the hotel together.

Their rooms were next to each other, and Carilian, having nothing to do, came to Miss Luo Quan's room to hang out.

As a former world's most beautiful woman, Carilian was very curious about how Miss Luo Quan's skin could be so delicate and fair. She reached out to touch it and felt it was as smooth as milk.

It is well known that Western women's skin is generally rougher than Eastern women's, though this shortcoming can be slightly compensated for with skincare products.

But Carilian had truly never encountered skin as tender as Miss Luo Quan's.

Regarding Carilian's question, Miss Luo Quan just showed her her only designated skincare product—the large, discounted bottle of Dabao SOD Milk.

"I usually just use this; I don't touch anything else." Miss Luo Quan said while squeezing some out for her.

After applying it, Carilian felt her skin was a bit more moisturized, but the effect wasn't as magical as she had imagined. Looking at Miss Luo Quan's skin, which was like frost and snow, she could only attribute it to the fact that her mother was Chinese.

"By the way, what brand of perfume do you usually use? It doesn't smell like Chanel No. 5," Carilian asked about another thing she was very concerned about.

Because they are both women and this time they were filming scenes that required building chemistry, Carilian usually stayed closer to Miss Luo Quan than the average staff member.

If it were a man, he certainly wouldn't have this privilege, but since Carilian herself is a great beauty, Miss Luo Quan didn't resist.

And being close, she could smell scents that others couldn't.

Unlike the slightly pungent body odor of most Westerners, Miss Luo Quan's scent was clearly a faint fragrance.

It was like perfume, but Carilian had never smelled it before.

Considering Miss Luo Quan is Chanel's global ambassador, perhaps she could get some unreleased, special-quality perfume.

Women all long to be more charming, and although the scent on Miss Luo Quan wasn't strong, it was truly refreshing, so she also wanted to get some to spray on herself.

"I've never used perfume." Miss Luo Quan was stunned by Carilian's question, then lifted her arm to smell it. "There's no other scent, just the smell of Dabao and shampoo."

"No, it's not those two. I'm very sure this is a special fragrance." Carilian said, sniffing again to confirm she hadn't misidentified it.

"Oh, then it might be my body odor." Miss Luo Quan was embarrassed to say it was natural body fragrance, so she could only call it body odor.

"How is that possible? Isn't human body odor... smelly?" Carilian's face turned a bit red as she spoke.

Compared to girls with strong body odor, Carilian's body odor was actually quite mild, but if she sweated a lot after exercise, it could still be smelled.

As a girl who loves beauty, this is indeed hard to talk about.

"Uh, I guess the body odor of Eastern and Western people is a bit different." Miss Luo Quan smiled. "I rarely encounter people with strong body odor around me in China."

Speaking of this body odor, when she went to court before, she used her own body scent to clear her name. At the time, domestic fans even teased her and gave her the nickname "Fragrant Concubine."

However, because Miss Luo Quan felt the Fragrant Concubine didn't have a good ending, she had it banned.

"I really envy you guys." Carilian sighed, recalling her past when she was in college and a cheerleader for the school.

Many American universities have dedicated basketball and football teams, and they also have cheerleading squads responsible for warming up the atmosphere.

On the field, the boys work hard, and since these two sports are strong areas for Black people, most of the team members are Black.

During halftime, when the cheerleaders entered the field, the smell was simply enough to make one's eyes hurt.

However, because everyone around was about the same, everyone would deliberately use perfume to cover it up, so Carilian didn't feel anything was wrong.

It wasn't until she met Miss Luo Quan today that she realized there are people in this world without body odor, and there are people like Miss Luo Quan who can smell good without perfume.

"I finally know why so many people like you." Carilian looked at Miss Luo Quan and said faintly.

As a beauty, she had encountered many suitors, but most were men from the industry or whose social status was a level lower than hers.

But Miss Luo Quan's suitors spanned every social stratum, and both their quantity and quality were ridiculously high.

"If I were a man, I would definitely fall hopelessly in love with you and try every possible way to get you!"

Facing Carilian's exclamation, Miss Luo Quan sighed helplessly: "What can I do? I was born looking like this."

Being the object of thousands of affections is not a good thing, whether in ancient times or modern times.

In ancient times, it was easy to invite disaster and even become an excuse for a man's career failure; it was the "femme fatale" in the mouths of historians.

In modern times, it's just that there are too many suitors to handle.

Miss Luo Quan actually handles it quite well; she said a long time ago that she wouldn't date, which dashed the hopes of many people.

But those who dared to come after knowing this premise were all incredibly tough nuts to crack; they were either royalty or children of wealthy families, and each one was stubborn enough not to turn back even after hitting a wall.

Miss Luo Quan had clearly stated her thoughts countless times, but these people only knew how to play dumb and pretend not to hear.

So much so that many female netizens online even called her a bad woman, just stringing these high-quality men along and playing them in the palm of her hand.

The key is that Miss Luo Quan couldn't explain it, because some things, once said, would really offend people.

After comforting Carilian, who failed to get the perfume, and returning to her room, Miss Luo Quan took a shower, got into bed, and turned on her phone.

There were two hot news stories today, both related to Korea.

One was that the Korean President Park was officially indicted.

It took two years after this only female president in Korean history stepped down for her to be liquidated; it really did take long enough.

However, it is said that the main reason for these two years was the continuous collection of evidence. The current president intended to deal with this political rival once and for all without giving her a chance to make a comeback, so it took longer.

And now that the indictment is proceeding, it is estimated that the evidence collection is almost complete, and it probably won't be long before she is thrown into prison.

The onlookers in East Asia have probably been waiting for this day for a long time.

Liquidating former presidents is a traditional Korean skill. So far, not a single former Korean president has had a good ending; they either died unnatural deaths while in office or were thrown into prison shortly after leaving office.

Like Korean entertainers, the Korean presidency is also a high-risk profession.

And the second hot topic today is indeed related to a Korean entertainer.

The visual center of a well-known Korean girl group committed suicide at home. Because this girl group had Chinese members, it was quite famous in China, had been on "Day Day Up" several times, and was also a leader among third-generation Korean groups.

The visual center who committed suicide was once a national idol goddess in Korea and was deeply loved by people. However, later, for some reason, her behavior gradually became obsessive. She often posted some strange pictures and videos on foreign websites, and her mental state didn't seem very good.

From then on, this idol's reputation began to plummet. Fans who used to like her also turned against her, engaging in long-term and high-intensity cyberbullying.

In China, internet trolls usually just type insults, and the more extreme ones just Photoshop a funeral portrait.

But in Korea, besides these virtual things, they never hold back in reality. Sending razor blades, death threats, or dead mice are common occurrences.

Being attacked like this, most normal people probably couldn't take it, let alone this idol who was already a bit neurotic.

Many people in China felt that it was only a matter of time before this sister had a mental breakdown and was sent to the hospital, but they didn't expect her to be more extreme than everyone thought, choosing to end her own life directly.

After the incident came out, whether it was fans or passersby, the first reaction was shock, followed by regret. The hundreds of thousands of comments were full of prayers and wishes.

"May there be no cyberbullying in heaven."

"The deceased cannot be chased; I hope everyone can treat the living more gently."

"Cherish the people around you."

………………

The departure of a life is indeed worth mourning.

But what is more important is why this life passed away.

Cyberbullying was certainly a factor, but before this idol's mental condition appeared, Korean netizens were very fond of her.

There must be some special reason that made her become like this and ultimately led to the tragedy.

Soon, some comments appeared on the internet saying that she was another victim in the hands of Korean chaebols.

After the death of this idol named Shirley, the term "Korean chaebol" also hit the trending searches.

The reason for this speculation is that Korean chaebols have too many previous records.

A few years ago, another Korean female star committed suicide, and the police found that her suicide note was full of the horrific abuse she suffered from chaebols before she died.

Seeing these words, it was even more chilling than the scariest horror movie, and it also revealed the ugly face of Korean chaebols to the fullest for the first time.

After this, a saying appeared: the Korean entertainment circle is the crystal palace for rich Koreans, regardless of gender.

Such a statement is inevitably generalizing, but with the disclosure of more and more truths in recent years, people suddenly realized that this statement is likely not groundless.

This time, Shirley's death can be considered bringing up old matters, and public opinion was quite intense for a while.

And this is in China, where public discussion is so intense; in Korea, it has already exploded.

On the people's petition board of the Blue House website, more than 30,000 people have left messages, hoping that the president can thoroughly investigate this case. They feel that Shirley did not commit suicide simply because of cyberbullying; there must be hidden secrets behind it.

The female star who committed suicide a few years ago was also originally going to have the case closed perfunctorily. If it weren't for a police officer risking his life to expose her suicide note, probably no one would have known that she had suffered such inhuman treatment before her death.

And this time with Shirley's death, the public will no longer easily trust the Korean police as they did before, because they don't know if there are any police officers or reporters who are not afraid of death willing to expose it this time.

The police officer who exposed the female star's suicide note last time and the reporter who reported it later have both died in accidents.

It's called an accident, but everyone knows clearly what it was actually for.

In the dark environment of Korea, good people with a sense of justice die one by one.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the new president is a strong man determined to change the status quo. After taking office, he sent his wife and children abroad, directly resolving his worries.

This attitude is many times stronger than his predecessors.

But unfortunately, the Korean public doesn't seem particularly satisfied with this new president.

However, no matter how dissatisfied they are, when big things happen, they still have to let him preside over justice.

And don't look at how Korean chaebols dominate the country—Lotte supports half of Korea, Samsung covers people's lives—but without considering foreign factors, the most powerful person in Korea is still the president.

As long as the president wants to deal with someone, there is no such thing as not being able to deal with them.

But the key is to have evidence. Now it is a society ruled by law, and the president is not a feudal emperor; no matter how great the power is, it must be targeted.

With evidence, any chaebol must be sentenced.

As for sentence reduction and early release, that is another matter.

In short, the Korean public believes that there must be something fishy about Shirley's death and strongly demands that the president personally order a thorough investigation.

Actually, not only the Korean public, but even here in China, a little analysis can tell that there must be a reason for Shirley's transformation.

Combined with Korea's long-standing tradition, it is not difficult to infer the result.

What is difficult is how to investigate and collect evidence, after all, it's hard to say how clean the entire Korean public prosecution and judicial system is.

Unless someone can provide some evidence as a breakthrough for the investigation.

Interestingly, Koreans have been waiting for any artist in the Korean entertainment circle to boldly stand up and provide evidence.

But it's as if they have all been gagged; not a single star dares to speak out at this time.

Until a Chinese artist uploaded a video on Instagram.
