Chapter 247 - Being Hacked

"It doesn't matter, actually. I'm just writing a novel. Whether it's broadcast or not, I've already received the money. If it really can't be broadcast, then there's nothing I can do about it." Shi Feiye's curiosity wasn't that strong.

However, the next day, Shi Feiye suddenly received a bunch of messages from people saying that she had become famous.

Hmm? Shi Feiye was confused. She didn't know what it meant that she was famous. She checked Weibo as her friends had told her. Wow, she was on the hot search list, and ranked third.

#TV series author steals the show#

The large title above piqued anyone's curiosity. Shi Feiye clicked on it and saw pictures and text describing how she, the author, relied on her background to get into the crew as a screenwriter, then squeezed out the actors to play the most attractive role herself.

Shi Feiye was impressed by the other party's concise and detailed explanation. If she hadn't known what was going on in her own case beforehand, she would have thought there was something wrong with her memory.

Looking at the comments below, all of them are sympathetic to Han Wenya, and then scolding Shi Feiye. They say something particularly nasty, such as "I'm crazy for fame" and "rich people can do whatever they want":

"I feel sorry for my Aya. She did nothing wrong and was so kind as to not ask for money to perform, but she was still being schemed against. It's really enough. Since they already had a plan, why did they find our Aya again? Is it just to make her look bad?"

"Even though I'm just a passerby, I have to say that this is too much. They acted with good intentions, so why did they have to make it so ugly? This is a slap in the face. It's not easy for a kind-hearted actor."

"Is it such a big deal that a novel I wrote was adapted into a TV series? They treat a kind-hearted actor like this. How can an amateur possibly perform better than a professional? Enough is enough. Does having money really mean you can do whatever you want, even without a conscience? I've learned something new. I will definitely not watch this show. It's disgusting."

"I'm a fan of the original novel and feel it's well-written, but I didn't expect the author to be this kind of person. No wonder he doesn't interact much with readers. Does he simply look down on readers and is too lazy to interact?"

"I'm not a fan of anyone, I'm just a casual person and I can't stand it. Am I behind the times? A random character in a TV show can cause such a big controversy. I've never seen anything like this before. I blame myself for being too ignorant."

"I feel sorry for my Aya. Her kindness was taken for granted. Don't be so kind in the future. Some people don't deserve it at all. They don't deserve you. You deserve better treatment. Go and act in a role that really suits you."

"Fans of the original novel said the author wouldn't do this. After all, the novel can reflect the author's values in some ways, and it seems that the author's values are quite positive. And if she really has a background, wouldn't it be more cost-effective for her to play the female lead?"

It was surprising that amidst the chorus of criticism, there were still a few voices supporting Shi Feiye. Shi Feiye was very pleased, but it was still necessary to clarify the matter behind this.

At this time, a message from Wan Fu popped up on WeChat:

"Don't worry about what's on Weibo. The crew should be able to resolve it. It's probably because the release time coincided with another show, and they're deliberately looking for negative points to smear it for profit. And since you're the original author and screenwriter, you've been chosen as cannon fodder. Don't be afraid, just wait and see, or ask Mr. Qin to help find out. It should be resolved soon."

Shi Feiye quickly replied, "Yes, I know the situation behind this is not simple. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just deal with it slowly."

On the other side, Han Wenya was going crazy and raged at Xu Yingying:

"Why didn't you inform me when you did this? Did you know that Shi Feiye has a big boss named Qin Buzhu behind her, and people like Zou Lianxun are also behind her? Why did you provoke her? Don't you know that she and I are 'sisters'?"

Xu Yingying was baffled by her yelling and felt a little angry:

"What are you yelling about? Of course I know what forces are behind her, but the ones standing with us this time are from the Yang family. President Yang has always had a bad relationship with them. Even if they provoke them, so what? With President Yang protecting them, what can they do to you? What sisterhood? Don't tell me you still talk about friendship in the entertainment industry. You're the female lead in this drama, and if it collides with theirs, it will naturally affect each other. This is normal competition. What's there to be anxious about?"

"Then why didn't you tell me that there are so many ways to compete, why did you have to choose this method? How do you want me to live my life in the future? How can I survive in this circle? I can break up with other sisters, but if I break up with her, do you think Qin Bu Ru and Zou Lianxun will come back to retaliate? Can President Yang protect me for a while and for the rest of my life?"

Han Wenya knew very well that although she wanted Shi Feiye to be ruined and kicked out as soon as possible, the prerequisite was that she absolutely could not do it herself. Otherwise, Qin Bulu would definitely protect Shi Feiye even for the sake of face. Besides, Shi Feiye was still his wife in name only. If he hit Shi Feiye in the face, he would hit him in the face.

What's more, that Mr. Yang wants to make things difficult for Qin Bu Ru and use her as a scapegoat. How much good will it do her?

Mr. Yang is already in his thirties, not as handsome as Qin Bulu, and he's also a playboy. She's so full of herself that she's completely under his control. If she offends him, she'll never have peace again. This deal isn't worth it at all.

But she couldn't tell Xu Yingying directly. Xu Yingying only cared about her acting career. If she made money, her agent, Xu Yingying, would get a bigger share. There was no need for her to tell her about her little thoughts.

However, the current situation was extremely passive. She had to first clear herself out of it while not offending Mr. Yang. She absolutely could not get herself involved.

Shi Feiye had just replied to Wan Fu's message when she received another message from Wu Chunqian, also comforting her, followed by messages from others.

This touched her a little. Although everyone might have some considerations about their own interests, at least they were able to do something to care about her, which was not easy in itself.

What Shi Feiye didn't expect was that she actually received a message from Han Wenya:

"Aye, did you see the Weibo message? I'm telling you, I didn't post that. My agent, without my permission, reached an agreement with my previous production team and posted this message. Now I can't even log in to Weibo. I just had a fight with my agent. You won't blame me, right?"

Shi Feiye laughed when she saw the news. She didn't know much about the actors' situation, but to say that Han Wenya was completely unaware of it, and that she couldn't even log into her Weibo account, was a bit of an exaggeration.

Shi Feiye even realized quickly that the other party knew that Zou Lianxun and Qin Buzhu were behind her, yet they still chose to do this. They must have been relying on a bigger power. It was even possible that Han Wenya was doing this to help her backer slap Qin Buzhu and Zou Lianxun in the face through her.

Previously, Shi Feiye had thought it was a conflict of interest within the crew, but now it seemed like there were various factors involved. She had originally wanted to delay the issue, hoping that if the crew could resolve it, she wouldn't have to bother Qin Buru. But now, given the situation, it would be better to contact Qin Buru as soon as possible.

Shi Feiye had just finished sending his inference to Qin Buzhu when Qin Buzhu called. When the call was connected, his voice was still smiling:

"Did I disturb you while you were typing? Don't worry, I saw it this morning and had someone investigate. Xiaoliu said it was a trick by someone named Yang. Don't worry, we will handle it as soon as possible and ensure that your reputation will not be affected, let alone your future writing career."

"It's okay with me. I can just write under a different pen name. The worst that can happen is that it'll be a little more troublesome to adapt it into a TV series." Shi Feiye wanted to say that she was worried about them, but then she thought it was stupid to doubt her man's ability, so she changed it to:

"However, I believe in your abilities. You will definitely protect me."

Qin Buzhu's smile deepened: "We must protect this smart and lovely partner. How can we not protect him well?"

Shi Feiye's cheeks were a little hot: "Okay, then I won't talk to you anymore, just go and do your thing."

Qin Buzhu didn't hang up in a hurry, but instead explained a lot of things to Master Feiye before hanging up. In his heart, he was still proud of Master Feiye's sharp thinking.

The manager, who had been waiting nearby to report on his work, was filled with a storm. He had always heard that Qin Buju loved his wife, but today he saw it in action. This was more than just loving his wife; he treated her like the apple of his eye. Look at that gentle tone. It was the first time he had ever realized that Qin Buju had a gentle side.

Shi Feiye put down the phone and saw that Han Wenya had sent another message:

"Aye, I can't log in to Weibo right now. Are you mad at me? Don't be angry. I'm trying to talk to my agent. Wait a minute. This matter is a bit complicated."

Shi Feiye replied to her: "It's okay, I understand. We are all doing this for our own benefit. There's no need to get so hung up on it. Just do what you need to do. It's not strange at all."

We are not sisters with a deep affection to begin with, so why do we have to pretend to have a deep affection and be so timid when doing things, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Han Wenya replied to her immediately:

"Aye, are you really angry? Don't be angry, this is my fault. It's my fault that I didn't become famous and my words didn't carry any weight. But I will try my best to communicate with my agent. Please wait for me."

As a novelist, Shi Feiye has looked up a lot of information. She couldn't help but laugh sarcastically at this kind of naive words. Did he really take her for a fool?

Knowing that any reply she made could become an excuse for the other party to post and attack her later, Shi Feiye simply didn't reply. Without a reply, there would be endless possibilities. She would let the other party go. She would have to wait and see what the other party planned to do and how to cover up.
