“That can’t be! I used to think she was very valiant!”
“I heard about Cheng Ruoxue from a friend of mine who works at that hotel that Huo Zihang was the one who brought Wang Jianhang’s wife there. Previously, Cheng Ruoxue had been in an ambiguous relationship with Huo Zihang and the two of them dated, but she two-timed him and he ended up finding out about it. Yan Jinyi just benefited from it.”
“I agree. Everyone knows our Huo Zihang likes pretty girls. It happens that Yan Jinyi is good-looking too. I think we made use of this to strike a deal with Huo Zihang.”
“Damn it, seriously? I’ve just discovered how pretty Yan Jinyi is and I was all ready to become a fan of hers. -.- Poor me…”
“Good, very good.”
Yan Jinyi smiled and returned the phone to Tao Wei.
“Director Tao, is this the legendary paid keyboard warriors?”
‘Without them, how could the topic have gone viral?’
Tao Wei suddenly felt daunted by Yan Jinyi’s smile and he couldn’t help but wipe his cold sweat. “Most of them are. Some are Liu Ran’s fans.”
“Liu Ran?”
Tao Wei nodded and said, “Previously, Zhuang Heng did harass Liu Ran because he thought she was beautiful. At that time, he even negotiated with me and said that he would agree to film if the female lead was Liu Ran.”
At the mention of this, Tao Wei smiled in self-deprecation and shook his head. “I do have a bad reputation. I was rejected by Liu Ran after barely speaking to her. Actually, I think Liu Ran likes Zhuang Heng and many support them as an onscreen couple.”
She had some recollection of Liu Ran, the ‘Best Actress’.
When she first transmigrated, the first drama series she watched was one that Liu Ran starred in.
To be honest, she felt that even the watchdog of the Huo Family was better at acting than Liu Ran.
“So, other than the scoundrel Lin Chenggong, Liu Ran is involved too?”
“Liu Ran is indirectly involved.”
Yan Jinyi tapped her fingernails against the surface.
She didn’t care. Whoever dared to bully her would face death.
“Jinyi, please ask Second Young Mistress Huo to come forward and clarify things. Even if we wrap up successfully, it might not be approved by the Media Broadcasting Board.”
“They’re just a bunch of useless garbage. Do you need Second Young Mistress Huo to intervene?”
Yan Jinyi said without any expression.
She was still seated on the ground and had even begun playing some mind games with Tao Wei, making him panic.
“Jinyi, what’s your take on this? If we still don’t clarify…”
“What’s the hurry, someone will appear to take care of it.”
‘Someone?’
‘Who?’
‘Apart from a personal clarification from Second Young Mistress Huo, what else will settle this matter?’
The matter of Tao Wei deceiving the general audience intensified and Yan Jinyi’s criticism was gradually drowned out by the voices who reprimanded Tao Wei.
The production crew of ‘Islander’ even intentionally chose to release the bloopers of the film. In comparison, Tao Wei’s film began to receive more and more criticism.
In fact, some even requested that they terminate filming.
During dinnertime, the entire cast and crew of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ were terrified by the online news. Tao Wei even had a few more gray hairs.
However, the main actors Yan Jinyi and Zhuang Heng were exceptionally calm.
“Little Pepper, this sweet and sour pork is delicious. I left a chunky piece for you. Try it.”
“Little Pepper, shall we have matcha cake for dessert? It tastes as intoxicating as you…”
Faced with Zhuang Heng’s enthusiasm, Yan Jinyi remained composed.
“Director Tao, Huo Zihang has posted something on Weibo!”
Someone yelled and all the hundred-odd members of the crew quickly pulled out their cell phones to log onto Weibo.
“One-in-million Third Young Master Huo: Which fool said that I don’t have a Second Sister-in-law? Come out and take a beating from me! Who are you nobodies to discuss my Second Sister-in-law?”
