For listed entertainment and arts companies like Xingyu, stock prices are inextricably linked to public opinion. The stock price was already plummeting after Mu Yuanchen's scandal broke.

Otherwise, Bai Ruohan wouldn't have been able to so easily take over Xingyu, which occupies half of the entertainment market in Beijing.

The movie star was embroiled in a scandal, and the newly appointed president made a decision that seemed to go against the majority of the audience's wishes. Xingyu's stock price, which had stabilized slightly due to Bai Ruohan's investment, began to decline slightly again...

...

The hype surged like a tidal wave, and Ji An'an saw it too. Of course, she knew in her heart that her pure appearance was not suitable for playing a demoness, but she was determined to take Bai Yan's things.

She's happy as long as I manage to snag it.

But seeing people online supporting Bai Yan and boycotting her, Ji An'an was a little unhappy: Why? Bai Yan hasn't even acted in many dramas, yet she has so many fans.

Are they blind? What do they have besides a pretty face? Their brains are as stupid as pigs!

Bai Ruohan dismissed the online rumors and then comforted Ji An'an, saying, "Don't listen to those netizens' nonsense. When the drama is filmed and we find someone to market it, they'll still watch it."

A cold smile crept onto his lips: "Back then, nobody would even remember who Bai Yan was."

Ji An'an pouted again, "But now everyone's saying I stole Bai Yan's role. Brother, let's clarify this. Why should I be the one getting scolded?"

Even if she gets scolded, it should be Bai Yan.

Bai Ruohan nodded helplessly, "Fine, fine, whatever you say."

Soon after, Xingyu's official Weibo account issued a statement explaining that Bai Yan had terminated her contract with the company, and artists not affiliated with the company are naturally ineligible to appear in dramas produced by Xingyu. We advise that person not to fabricate and slander online simply because they didn't compete for a role!

Bai Ruohan's personal account tagged Ji An'an: "Strive to fly high, don't be afraid of what others say. The role is yours, even if someone threatens to terminate your contract, it's still yours. Your brother is supporting you, don't be afraid. (Guardian)"

Ji An'an quickly replied to Bai Ruohan with touching and encouraging emojis.

【Who can blame us when our An'an is the apple of the eye of the Bai family's young master? Some people try to stir up trouble online, but they still can't compete with her~】

I love seeing you guys hate it but can't do anything about it!

[I want to be Princess An'an's maid and carry her bags~]

...

Bai Yan was also busy at that time, with her agent.

"Which dress looks better, the blue one or the yellow one?" Bai Yan asked, turning her head. Fang Siyan's identity is special, and it's not convenient for him to go out for long periods of time. This week happens to be a long holiday, and they have already made plans to go fishing.

Sister Wang: ……

"Didn't you say you were going to start a company and take down Xingyu Entertainment?" Sister Wang couldn't help but scratch her head. "You said you were busy every day, but all you do is come here looking at outfits and buying clothes?"

Bai Yan looked at herself in the mirror and liked both of them.

I told the sales assistant, "Please wrap them all up for me."

"Yes, Miss Bai!"

Bai Yan turned back to look at her manager: "Don't rush things, you can't rush things."

"Young Miss, what's the rush?" Sister Wang said, taking out her phone. "Look at this, how shameless! Isn't this blatant robbery?"

"Pah!"

But just like what's said online, Bai Ruohan is the boss... What can you do if you can't stand him?

Sister Wang was so angry that her liver hurt.

"I'm really fed up with these netizens. They have to kneel down and act like servants to others. If one day what they earned through their own abilities is taken away by someone with connections, then they'll start cursing."

Bai Yan chuckled lightly, took out her phone, and quickly replied with two sentences: "To clarify, my leaving the company wasn't because of the 'Demon' script. I just felt that Xingyu Entertainment was utterly rotten from top to bottom, and there was no point in staying in such a company."

After that, I will open a talent agency to take in low-level actors from Xingyu Entertainment. As long as you are good, you can send me your resume.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

[Bai Yan has such a big face! Saying Xingyu is a complete rotten company? It's the biggest entertainment company in China, okay? Even a completely rotten company wouldn't want you!]

What makes you say Xingyu Entertainment is terrible? At least Lin An, Shen Bingqing, Liu Rou... they are all good actors!

Bai Yan, having nothing better to do, picked up a few replies that were insulting her: 【Yeah, what a big face! Unlike you, you don't even have a human face.】

Yes, they are all very good actors, just as great as Mu Yuanchen.

The more she replied to netizens, the more they cursed her, saying things like, "Whose dog is being let out to bark online?!"

Bai Yan replied: 【It's mine, isn't it barking right now?】

The netizen's comment, "[Holy shit your mother##**], was censored.

Another comment appeared under Bai Yan's account asking: "[Ms. Bai, do you think your older brother, Bai Ruohan, isn't a good manager? That he can't manage Xingyu well? Is that why you publicly criticized Xingyu?]"

Bai Yan replied: Yes, I believe he can't manage Xingyu well. And I predict that Xingyu's shares will continue to fall.

...

Bai Ruohan, who was in the CEO's office at Xingyu Entertainment, slammed her phone down and gritted her teeth, saying, "Bai Yan! Who gave you the guts?"

“Brother…” Ji An’an looked at Bai Ruohan nervously: “Bai Yan said the company’s shares will keep falling? Is that possible?”

Bai Ruohan scoffed, "What does an idiot know about finance?"

"You just read a few reports and analyses online and thought that Star Entertainment would be unable to function after such a scandal? It's perfectly normal for Star Entertainment's stock price to fluctuate after something like this. It's the largest entertainment company in the city, not to mention its film and television base and the IPs it has accumulated that haven't been filmed yet!"
