Chapter 432 Aggressive Momentum

After reading this novel, Shen Xuewei's mood soured.

She felt she had wasted two days.

If I had known, I should have flipped to the ending first when I started reading, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time on this book.

Shi Qian recently discussed a promising project, which Shen Xuewei also investigated and found promising, and agreed to invest.

However, the two sides have not reached an agreement on the shareholding ratio, resulting in a stalemate.

However, it was the other party who couldn't hold out any longer and agreed before Shi Qian got off work.

Shi Qian worked overtime to have the lawyer draft the contract, and then had Gan Shengnan deliver it to Shen Xuewei for her signature.

Shen Xuewei signed the contract and handed it to Gan Shengnan. Gan Shengnan took the contract but did not leave.

Shen Xuewei looked up at her, only to see her holding her phone, looking at Shen Xuewei with a hesitant expression.

Shen Xuewei, dressed in loose and comfortable pajamas, sat in the courtyard, took a sip of tea, and said:

"Just tell me if you need to take leave or what you need to do. I'm not a strict boss who won't let you speak..."

Gan Shengnan quickly shook her head, "Boss, I'm not asking for leave. It's just... did you see the trending topics today?"

Shen Xuewei was taken aback. "No, why would I look at that stuff? What's new?"

Which celebrity has had another scandal? Was it related to sleeping with someone or taxes?

Thinking this, she called out to Wu Antang, who was not far away, "Antang, I think my phone is on the second floor, bring it to me."

"good!"

Wu Antang quickly went upstairs and soon retrieved Shen Xuewei's phone.

When Shen Xuewei clicked on the trending topics on Weibo, she immediately stood up, knocking the tea on the table away with her arm.

Gan Shengnan carefully looked at Shen Xuewei's face and found that Shen Xuewei's previous leisurely expression had disappeared, replaced by anxiety and worry.

Shen Xuewei kept scrolling through the trending topics and found that Xu Yue had almost monopolized them all.

The first few items are:

#Xu Yue's mistress's daughter#

#The production team of "Lingrenmeng" announces a delay in filming; Xu Yue may face replacement#

#Paparazzi reveal Xu Yue was raped#

#The original wife has come forward to expose Xu Yue's mother for interfering in someone else's marriage#

#Xu Yue suspected of working as a hostess at a nightclub in her early career#

#Xu Yue's uncle said that Xu Yue has been a troublemaker since she was a child#

#Why hasn't Xu Yue responded?#

...

So many trending topics have been on the hot search list ever since the news broke at noon.

It was already past 7 p.m., and Xu Yue and her agency, Heyu Century, had not responded or removed the trending topic, seemingly indifferent.

Shen Xuewei realized something was wrong and quickly called Xu Yue.

But after calling several times, no one answered. I also tried sending messages on QQ and WeChat, but there was no reply.

She turned around abruptly, saying as she went up to the second floor, "Shengnan, book me a plane ticket to the capital right now, the sooner the better."

"Okay, boss, I'll place the order right away."

As Gan Shengnan booked plane tickets for Shen Xuewei, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been working for Shen Xuewei for several years, so she naturally knew that actress Xu Yue and her boss were good friends.

Xu Yue had previously visited Shen Xuewei in Shanghai and even brought her a gift.

She couldn't believe her boss would remain indifferent after her good friend exposed such a negative trending topic.

One possibility for the lack of response is that the boss hasn't seen the news or trending topics yet.

At that moment, she was glad she had told her boss, otherwise...

Shen Xuewei went upstairs to change her clothes, then grabbed her bag and came back downstairs. Gan Shengnan quickly walked over and said:

"Boss, there are no more tickets available for today. The earliest flight we can get tickets for is tomorrow morning at 9:30..."

Shen Xuewei paused, cursed under her breath, and decisively said:

"Then let's drive there. Lao Peng, go and bring the car over. An Tang and Sheng Nan, you two come along too, and take over driving from Lao Peng on the way."

Peng Zhiyun drove the car to the door, and Shen Xuewei and the others quickly got in and headed straight for the capital.

It takes nearly thirteen hours to drive from Shanghai to Beijing.

Shen Xuewei sat in the car with a sullen face, calling Xu Yue every few minutes.

Shen Xuewei only stopped making calls when she heard a message that the phone was switched off.

She opened Weibo and saw the discussions among netizens, as well as the various offensive pictures and speculations on the public square. Her heart sank to the bottom.

There was no response, still no response. Not only could Xu Yue not be reached, but Heyu Century also remained aloof, as if Xu Yue wasn't an artist under their management.

Generally speaking, the best time for celebrities to issue clarifications is within 4 hours after the outbreak of public opinion, also known as the golden four hours of public opinion.

Debunking rumors during this period can curb their spread to the greatest extent and reduce public misunderstanding.

However, it went viral on social media at noon and has been trending for more than 4 hours now.

Even though Xu Yue later denied the rumors, it had already damaged her public image.

In the future, when the public mentions her, they will always remember this story.

Shen Xuewei didn't dare to think about Xu Yue's current situation; she just wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible.

And then there's Heyu Century, which hasn't reacted at all; their attitude is very strange.

However, one thing Shen Xuewei can confirm from this is that Xu Yue has become a discarded pawn of this company.

Otherwise, how could someone just throw away a money tree like that?

Shen Xuewei stared at the dimmed phone screen, her expression brooding, lost in thought.

She opened her phone and started searching for which well-known artists were under Heyu Century's management.

Half an hour later, she made a phone call to someone.

"Hello, I want to buy the dirt on that person from Heyu Century... Don't worry about who I am, I'll pay the money."

On the way, Peng Zhiyun and the other two took turns driving, and finally arrived at Xu Yue's apartment in the capital at around 7 a.m.

Shen Xuewei got out of the car and led Peng Zhiyun and the other two to the seventh floor in the elevator, where they stood in front of Xu Yue's room.

She knocked on the door forcefully, "Open the door, Xu Yue, open the door."

When she knocked, she pressed her ear against the door and clearly heard a soft sound coming from inside.

The apartment here is very soundproof, but it's impossible that such a loud knocking and her voice wouldn't be heard.

Moreover, there was clearly movement inside, which means there was someone inside.

Xu Yue had no reason, nor could she possibly, to avoid her, so there was only one possibility.

Xu Yue is inside, but she's being controlled; or perhaps Xu Yue isn't inside, but there are other people here.

After knocking repeatedly for about ten seconds without anyone opening the door, she stepped aside, glanced at Peng Zhiyun and Wu Antang, and decisively said:

"Old Peng, An Tang, both of you, come at me together and break down the door!"

She wanted to see what kind of monsters and demons were hiding inside.

The two nodded and simultaneously slammed the door shut.

Shen Xuewei stepped back again and took out her phone... Her thoughtful assistant, Gan Shengnan, was already recording a video on her phone.

"Boss, let me do it, let me do it."

Shen Xuewei glanced at the latest model phone in her hand, put her own phone away, and then instructed:

"Okay, when the door opens, go in and take a clear picture."

Gan Shengnan assured her, "Boss, definitely, you can rest assured and leave it to me."

With a loud crash, the sturdy door was kicked open by the combined force of Peng Zhiyun and Wu Antang.

The door swung open, and Shen Xuewei, protected by two men, stormed in.
