Chapter 1559: Chapter 1560: You Can’t Teach Me
The assistant was mumbling by her side while she washed her hands, "Who would send something like this? Your phone uses a private number; apart from certain media, outsiders shouldn’t know your number. How did they send it through? Could it be that your number was obtained by some scalpers in the country and then sold to anti-fans?"
He was seething with anger, "These scalpers are becoming more outrageous! It’s always like this with them. Every time you change your phone number, it doesn’t take long before they find out and sell it to those obsessive followers. I thought that since you’ve been developing your career abroad and just returned, you wouldn’t have to worry about it, but it seems I underestimated your popularity. No way, I’ve got to warn them. If they dare sell your phone number again, I’ll have the legal team hold them accountable directly!"
Selling citizens’ private information is illegal domestically, but it doesn’t constitute a crime. Even if caught, the cost of violating the law is low, just requiring an apology and compensation without even needing detention. Therefore, a group of people exploits this legal gray area within the country, developing a whole chain industry from celebrities to fans.
They obtain celebrities’ personal information and private schedules through various channels and sell these data to frenzied fans eager to pursue celebrities, making a profit from it.
Information on a couple of celebrities doesn’t sell for much, but with so many celebrities and a huge fan base in the country, even if they sell the information for just a few tens of bucks per piece, it could add up to profits in the tens or hundreds of millions annually.
This money doesn’t require them to spend any cost, just the unscrupulous invasion into celebrities’ private lives, infringing on their personal privacy.
"We’re not pushovers, and they’re naive if they think they can treat you like those domestic celebrities! Xi, you have the Chu Family as your background. If worse comes to worst, just tell your family privately to give them a lesson!"
Chu Xi had just recovered from a stomach spasm and, after washing her hands, wiped them dry and walked out with a gloomy expression.
"You can’t give a lesson."
The assistant paused at her heavy words, then tried to smile and said, "I know I can’t give a lesson. That’s why I said to give your family members a heads up, let them give those ’scalpers’ a warning. Otherwise, people will keep sending you those disgusting pictures, and it makes you uncomfortable to look at, doesn’t it? I’m worried about you."
Chu Xi gritted her back molars tightly, deeply frustrated at his self-assured words.
From Qin Jun down to the housekeepers and servants in the Chu Family, who has ever paid attention to her? Her only reliable support, Jiang Chenyue, is now overly friendly with Rong Yan. Anyone who sees it might think Rong Yan is her daughter, and she’s an outsider!
To whom can she report being ’harassed,’ and who would stand up for her?
Jiang Chenyue?
Since warning her yesterday, Jiang Chenyue had been cold to her; even though she got up early this morning to personally make breakfast, that old witch didn’t give her a friendly face, only took a few bites before putting down the utensils, saying she was full.
Qin Jun?
Qin Jun is even less of an option; it’s already good enough if that man doesn’t mock her with a pretentious smile while calling her a dear sister. Asking Qin Jun to stand up for her is simply a joke!
Chu Xi, restlessly anxious, really couldn’t understand why she had ended up like this. Clearly, she was supposed to be the winner in life; how did it turn out like she was losing, living cautiously every day in the Chu Garden, unable to speak confidently outside?
