Fang Zhiying had the main actors rehearse their lines and called Sun Qianyao aside. "Qianyao, we still need to control the online public opinion. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Sun Qianyao quickly explained, "Director Fang, don't worry. My agent has already taken care of it. These are just fabricated rumors by anti-fans. They can't be taken seriously. It won't affect the filming."

Fang Zhiying remained silent, as if considering Sun Qianyao's words.

In order to reassure Fang Zhiying, Sun Qianyao offered to delay her scene for two days, "Don't worry, the rumors will be cleared up in two days."

Fang Zhiying was satisfied, and a smile finally appeared on her face. "Qianyao, I also believe in you very much, but the higher-ups are very strict with artists now. Once a bad artist is confirmed, they will be banned. Even their works have to use AI to change their faces. I bear the responsibility of so many people's efforts, and I have to consider everyone. I hope you can understand. But don't worry, fake it won't be real. If you need any help, I will definitely provide personal assistance."

Sun Qianyao understood. In fact, Fang Zhiying still held a neutral attitude towards this matter, but she was used to saying polite words. She asked her to take the initiative to propose delaying the filming, and let her say all the good and bad things by herself. In the end, the result given was still "personal help".

Ke Fangzhiying has a strong background. Even if he has not yet become a first-class director, he is a well-known rising star and cannot be offended.

Sun Qianyao could only accept the slap and sweet dates from Fang Zhiying with a smile, and finally said thank you with emotion.

After returning to the dressing room and confirming that no one was around, Sun Qianyao made her first call, to her agent. "Why didn't you send a lawyer's letter? Why didn't you contact that marketing account?"

"I didn't expect he would have so much information. He's already in contact. Don't worry, marketing accounts are just after money. This time, we can only buy safety with money. Then I'll release some information about other artists to attract research, and netizens' attention will be distracted soon." Wang Hongyan comforted Sun Qianyao, who was walking back and forth in the dressing room and biting her fingers.

When she decided to switch to a higher platform and use Sun Qianyao as her bargaining card, her fate was already intertwined with Sun Qianyao.

Sun Qianyao can't be in trouble, otherwise...

Her status as an agent will only plummet.

Therefore, Sun Qianyao believed what Wang Hongyan said, "Giving him 500,000 is enough, right?"

Wang Hongyan choked upon hearing this and said vaguely, "Maybe."

Sun Qianyao got angry when she heard the word "maybe". "Sister Yan, what do you mean by maybe? Five hundred thousand yuan can't buy the stuff he has. Is he a lion? Why is he asking for so much?"

"I'll contact them first to see what's going on." Wang Hongyan tried her best to persuade Sun Qianyao, who was extremely anxious.

Chi Xu was scrolling through the private messages from strangers on Weibo. Many of them were asking her for information, but none of them was the person she was waiting for.

"Didn't you say your eyes hurt?" After peeling the last shrimp, the person who had been silent next to him finally spoke up, "Eat shrimp."

Chi Xu glanced at the man calmly, "Are you sure you want to talk to me? I'm saying something harsh, can someone with a fragile heart handle it?"

The man stopped talking again.

Chi Xu sneered, "I can't understand you. You're going to go forward even though you know it's a dead end. You're so obsessed with love that you're almost ingrained in me. I just feel uncomfortable with my eyes, but you've lost your eyes. You're taking fifty steps and I'm taking a hundred."

Wang Hongyan seemed to be afraid that Chi Xu would not recognize her, so she revealed her identity in the private message. After Chi Xu replied, she sent her work ID so that Chi Xu would believe that she was indeed here to buy materials sincerely.

She asked Chi Xu to name a price, but Chi Xu threw the opportunity to name a price back to Wang Hongyan.

When Wang Hongyan mentioned the buyout price of 200,000, Chi Xu couldn't help but raise a question mark.

[Have you eaten melons today?: Are you okay? You're the biggest star in idol dramas, after all. You make over 200,000 yuan per show. Are you just throwing two dollars at me? Quote properly. If you make a wrong offer, I'll block you.]

Chi Xu originally wanted to send this message, but then he remembered the definition of "extortion" and silently deleted all the words and only sent a smiling face emoticon.

Wang Hongyan knew at a glance that the marketing account was not satisfied with her offer.

Wang Hongyan: Just name a price. We won't bargain.

Chi Xu still replied with a smile.

No matter how Wang Hongyan asked about the price, she just didn't respond. Finally, Wang Hongyan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out Sun Qianyao's desired price.

[Have you eaten melon today?: I'm sorry, Manager Wang. As an account with millions of followers, I have the obligation and responsibility to tell the truth.]

After saying that, Chi Xu blocked Wang Hongyan without hesitation.

She didn't eat the last plate of shrimps, but just wiped her hands slowly. When she went to pay the bill, the boss said that the bill had already been paid.

"No wonder they say the more you earn, the stingier you become. Five hundred thousand." Chi Xu put his hands behind his back, like a little old man. "How much do you make in a month? It costs two hundred yuan to treat me to a meal. Otherwise, why can't you get rich? You're not stingy enough."

The person next to him just listened quietly. Even though the words were unpleasant, she didn't say anything back. She just followed Chi Xu step by step, quietly, like a shadow falling on the ground.

-

"What did you say? Five hundred thousand is not enough for him? He wants more, okay, I'll burn it for him." Sun Qianyao hung up the phone with a sneer.

On the WeChat interface, there was a prominent exclamation mark next to the row of question marks sent by Sun Qianyao.

"Aunt, what's going on with Ruru? Why did you suddenly want to backstab me?" Sun Qianyao gritted her teeth. "Back then, I agreed to give you 50,000 yuan and lend you Ruru's name. Are you going to break the agreement?"

"Yaoyao, Dabao is going to elementary school this year." Zhang Qian exclaimed, "Didn't Ru Ru want to send Dabao to school in Jincheng before? She wanted to use your school district housing quota."

Sun Qianyao understood. Some time ago, her cousin's family wanted her to transfer the school district house under her name to her cousin so that her nephew could go to school in Jincheng, but she refused.

"Just for a degree, you treat me like this? How much have I helped my family over the years?" Sun Qianyao said indignantly, "Just talk it over. How can I not give you the degree?"

Zhang Qian didn't care: "It's not like there's nothing wrong now. It's just an ultrasound report. We didn't mention any names, so it's you..."

"Auntie!" Sun Qianyao raised her voice, practically interrupting Zhang Qian with a scream. "That's Ru Ru's ultrasound order! What does it have to do with me?"

"Oh, that's right, isn't it Ru Ru's order?"

Zhang Qian wanted to take advantage of both sides and didn't want to offend either side, so she said with a smile, "Don't worry, the degree issue has been resolved, and the matter of the ultrasound report is over."
