Chapter 808: The Faded Actress (18)

Wen Wan went home because it was her grandfather's birthday, so as his granddaughter, she naturally had to go home. Her grandfather was originally unhappy that Wen Wan went to a talent show, thinking that she was going to enter the entertainment industry again. It was only after Wen Wan emphasized that she was only cultivating the company's cash cow that her grandfather believed her.

Lin Weicheng also intervened and his efforts were quite effective.

However, Wen Wan did not expect that as soon as she returned home, she would be faced with the old man's soul-searching questions.

"Xiaoxi! Do you have any plans to start dating recently? You're not getting any younger, it's time for you to start dating."

Wen Yan: "..."

"I have no plans to date for the time being."

"Don't be afraid. My family doesn't care about social status. As long as someone has a clean background, a good personality, good character, and good looks, I can accept them."

Wen Wan: "..." Why did you have to add "looks" to it? Are they really a family obsessed with appearances?

“I watched your variety shows online. Did you find any you liked? I did some research, and none of them seem quite right. Li Mingxuan is a scoundrel in private, Chen Shounian is already secretly married, so he's not suitable for you. And Bruce, a foreigner, you can't date him. And Takahashi, he doesn't have any scandals, but he's too ordinary-looking and doesn't match you.”

Wen Wan: "Grandpa, why are you investigating people? Besides, I'm just friends with them, I'm not interested in them."

"It's good that you're not interested. You shouldn't be interested. I've found quite a few good ones for you. Go take a look and see if there's anything suitable."

Wen Yan: "..."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm still young, and I don't plan on dating for the time being. After all, last time... Sigh, does Grandpa dislike me? Does he not want me at home?"

The old man said, "Nonsense. You can stay here for the rest of your life, or you can stay without looking for me. Shangguan Hao is in jail now, his life is ruined, he deserves it."

Then he turned to look at Lin Weicheng, who had a bad feeling.

"Wei Cheng! You're not getting any younger, when are you planning to get married?"

Lin Weicheng: "..."

Wen Wan chimed in from the side, "Brother, you're thirty already, it's time to find someone, otherwise you'll become an old man and no one will want you."

Lin Weicheng: "Xiao Xi."

Wen Wan: "Grandpa, hurry up and arrange a blind date for my brother. I want to kiss my sister-in-law, and she can even have a baby for me to play with."

The old man then took out photos of girls, all of whom came from families with similar social standing—the daughters of his business partners.

Lin Weicheng felt a chill run down his spine.

"I have someone I like, so Grandpa doesn't need to worry."

"who?"

Lin Weicheng: "I can't say yet. Once I catch up with him, I'll definitely bring him to Grandpa."

"Okay, you've never given me any trouble, so I won't worry about you anymore."

She enjoyed the meal and also learned that Lin Weicheng actually had a girl he liked. She was really curious about what kind of girl could make Lin Weicheng like her, so she secretly asked the system to investigate a little.

Good heavens, it turned out to be the daughter of Lin Weicheng's friend.

She is twelve years older than him.

The other person had just started college.

Her brother is actually dating a much younger woman, and it's the younger woman who takes the initiative – she pursues him.

After Wen Wan found out, Lin Weicheng spoke frankly, because he wanted to wait until she was more mature before saying anything. It has to be said that a thirty-year-old man can be very patient, which is worthy of Lin Weicheng.

...

Wen Wan went to visit Gu Yuan on set, only to find that he was injured.

His forehead was wrapped in gauze.

What's going on?

Gu Yuan looked at Wen Wan in shock, "President Lin, what brings you here? I'm fine, I just bumped into something, it'll be fine in a few days."

Wen Wan went to fetch the director to inquire about the matter.

It turned out that during the wire work, the wire came loose and the person suddenly fell. If Gu Yuan hadn't landed on the prop, it would have been more than just a head injury.

Wen Wan was furious.

"Why did the wire work malfunction? Has it been investigated?"

director:"……"

Wen Wan could tell from the director's expression that he hadn't investigated and was trying to downplay the issue.

Wen Wan is angry.

So he immediately sent someone to investigate. The director couldn't do anything about it, since the incident happened on set, and Lin Xi's current status was not simple; he, as a director, couldn't possibly stand against him.

The investigation revealed a shocking truth: it wasn't an accident at all, but rather intentional.

Someone bribed the wire stunt operator and then deliberately damaged the props.

The person bribed was another actor in the production crew, who was also the second male lead. He was jealous of Gu Yuan's popularity and initially wanted the male lead, but Gu Yuan ended up as the male lead, so he was resentful and resorted to this scheme.

The director didn't expect it either.

In the end, the wire operator was fired, but the fate of the second male lead was temporarily left undecided.

They even went to find Gu Yuan. The drama was already halfway through filming, and if they replaced him halfway through, they couldn't afford to waste time and money.

Gu Yuan then went to find Wen Wan.

Wen Wan looked at her little cabbage with heartache; this director really didn't know what he was doing.

Then I went directly to the director privately, handed him a document, and said, "Take your time to look at it, and tell me your decision after you've finished."

That document contains dirt on the second male lead; he's not a clean person. If it gets out, that guy's finished.

And his own movie will also be doomed.

The director sighed, "President Lin truly lives up to his reputation."

Meanwhile, the second male lead was fearless, confident that the director wouldn't fire him. After all, he had Shengtai backing him, and no one wanted to offend Shengtai. Besides, the crew had already filmed half of the series, and they couldn't afford to waste time. But to their surprise, the director actually fired him.

"Director, are you really going to fire me?"

The director was adamant.

The other party left immediately and the next second started making sarcastic remarks online, scheming against the production crew. They even plotted against Gu Yuan and Wen Wan, implying that Gu Yuan, relying on Wen Wan as his sugar daddy, kicked him out of the crew halfway through filming and wanted them to pay the price.

Wen Wan didn't tolerate it and released all of his dirty secrets, and filed a lawsuit against him, since he had hurt Gu Yuan, which Wen Wan could not allow.

This also made countless industry insiders see Wen Wan's protectiveness of her own, and added a label of "not to be messed with" to the actor Gu Yuan.

Afterwards, the director needed to choose a new actor to replace the second male lead, and Wen Wan directly invested in the film, with the only requirement being to ensure the safety of the actors.

The director was naturally happy, after all, this was a great investor who didn't blame them, and even invested in the project without interfering with the script or casting.

After that, Wen Wan returned to the talent show.

After all, the finals are about to begin.

Twenty contestants, twenty stages, and fifty thousand audience members witnessed the final competition and the final debut spots.

Wen Wan gave a final emotional massage to five people from her company.

"It doesn't matter if you don't debut, I have money and I can promote you."

"So don't be nervous, just do your best."

The five people: "..."

I wasn't nervous at first, but after this mental massage, I suddenly felt that if I didn't make it in the industry, how could I live up to my boss's cultivation and trust?

As the final draws closer.

Tickets sold out online in three seconds, and many people who didn't manage to get tickets waited outside the venue. The talent show dominated the trending topics.

All the trainees are waiting for the final competition. Although Wen Wan trusts these trainees, she doesn't quite trust the capital behind them. Those big companies won't be quiet, especially since her own company will most likely occupy three debut spots.

As a result, countless negative stories about Lin Wei and Aubo appeared online, especially about Aubo.

When the video of her working at the bar was exposed, she was even labeled as a hostess, which was extremely negative, and many people lost their fans.

Upon investigation, Wen Wan discovered that the targets were those large companies. Lin Wei had no scandals; he had always been a law-abiding and exceptionally outstanding college student. As for Li Qi, all his scandals had been exposed, and there was nothing new to uncover. Therefore, the focus shifted directly to Aubo.
